This faint feeling of madness...
You are kidding me! You came from the west and the tiger came from the east. How come you two followed us after going around in circles?
The key point is that this enclosure is not a circle!!!
Qin Yingtian certainly wouldn't suffer such a loss: "My two brothers, when hunting in the enclosure, whoever wins gets it first. We can't follow the rule of first come first served."
Lu Xiyun on the other side was not here to reason. The young man shot another arrow and said proudly: "Swords have no eyes, be careful."
The arrow hit the target and broke the first arrow that had just been inserted into the ground.
Oops, the negotiation fell through.
Qin Yingtian sighed and said softly, "What should I do? I have some skills."
Wen Congren hit the nail on the head: "This is one point, how much is yours?"
Qin Yingtian silently gave up his face: "I may still owe it."
Tsk, useless piece of crap. Wen Congren stepped forward, bowed politely, and said, "Your Highness, Prince Lu, this tiger is yours. There's no need to damage the relationship. However, this tiger is just a domesticated one, and it has no killing intent. Ying Tianshang and I feel that killing it is unjust, and I think you two feel the same. However, there is a wolf pack here. We can work together to hunt them down."
Lu Xiyun looked at Wen Congren with a strange look in his eyes: "You're advising us to let it go?"
Wen Congren nodded: "To be honest, this tiger just saved our lives."
Qin Yingtian was not surprised by Wen Congren's remarks and could only do his best to deal with the aftermath. He drew his sword and said sternly, "Although I am not as skilled as you, I can still try to stop you."
Unexpectedly, Qin Shu laughed out loud: "You two, it's a misunderstanding, it's not that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Lu Xiyun also jumped off his horse, his attitude completely changed: "To be honest, Brother Wen, I raised this tiger."
Wen Congren & Qin Yingtian: “?!!”
Qin Shu stepped forward and explained the whole process in detail.
In short: "My father has no moral principles."
Then came the story that Qin Yingtian was familiar with.
Lu Xiyun threw a tantrum like a spoiled brat in Guixinyuan, leaving everyone helpless.
Lu Xiyun grabbed Wen Congren's arm and kept calling him "Congren" affectionately. "Seeing how well Congren and Xiaobai get along, do you plan to raise a tiger, Brother Wen? Xiaobai has a good temper and won't bite."
Seeing Wen Congren seemed hesitant, Lu Xiyun went further: "When the vassal state paid tribute, it said that Xiaobai has the bloodline of a spiritual beast. Who knows, it might awaken one day!"
Qin Yingtian's eyelids twitched. With such eloquence, it would be a waste if he didn't go into business.
Qin Shu was happy to see this happen. The ungrateful guy in the Lu Mansion was already giving him enough headaches. As long as he could get this ancestor out, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang could set off firecrackers to celebrate!
As for Wen Congren, he pondered for a moment, then nodded in a way that ten horses couldn't pull back: "It was it that saved me first. If there really is nowhere else to go, Wen Mou will do his duty."
Qin Shu’s inner thoughts—tsk, that’s awesome.
Qin Yingtian's mind was filled with endless questions. Raising a tiger? With Wen Congren's tiny body? ! ! Raising a tiger is a disaster! !
Without saying anything, Lu Xiyun gave Wen Congren a bear hug: "Congren, without saying anything else, from today on, you are my lifelong friend!"
Wen Congren only smiled politely in return, his eyes showing a bit more complexity: "I will rely on you more in the future."
Lu Xiyun picked up the intact feather arrow on the ground and said, "Congren just said he wanted to hunt wolves. Do you need help?"
"Brother Lu's willingness to join forces is truly what we've been hoping for."
Lu Xiyun, who was very familiar with Wen Congren, put his arm around him without hesitation. "Hey, Congren, don't be so polite with me from now on. Qin Shu and I just happened to be hunting some rabbits. There's a cliff to the east. We can set up some bait there to lure the wolves over. Then, have Xiaobai block their retreat. It's just a wolf hunt, easy."
"Good idea!" Qin Yingtian agreed. After all, it is better than working alone with his own teacher.
Qin Shu immediately took out the short blade from his waist and demonstrated how to skin a rabbit alive.
As the scene was too bloody, Qin Yingtian consciously put the "minor" behind him.
The cliff is actually where two mountains meet. The rocks extend from the top of the mountain below. As far as the eye can see, the cliff on the opposite side is very close, but when you look down, it is a bottomless abyss.
At the downwind location, the bloody smell quickly spread with the mountain breeze.
Soon, there was a rustling sound in the bushes.
After another moment of silence, a brown-black blind bear poked its head out from the haystack and moved its huge body closer to the bait step by step.
Qin Yingtian sighed: "Isn't this thing too dangerous?"
James Wan nodded in agreement.
But Qin Shu obviously didn't think so: "Hunting bears is more difficult than hunting wolves, and it's not far behind hunting tigers. If I bring this thing back, the old man will have nothing to say."
Lu Xiyun was instantly convinced: "That makes sense!"
Qin Yingtian sighed silently in his heart, such a unique and unconventional train of thought... no wonder these two could get together.
Before Qin Yingtian could take a step closer to stop them, the two men over there had already drawn their bows and put arrows on them.
Two clusters of arrows, accompanied by a cold whistling sound, flew straight towards the black bear's face, one on the left and one on the right.
Lu Xiyun's arrow hit the black bear's left eye right, and the beast howled in pain.
Seeing that the fight had already started, Qin Yingtian had no choice but to pick up his spear and throw it out.
The spear pierced the black bear's lower chest, hitting it again. The black bear turned and pounced towards Qin Yingtian.
Qin Yingtian remained calm, leading the horse back and keeping a distance according to the terrain.
Taking advantage of Qin Yingtian's full hatred, the remaining two drew their bows and shot repeatedly.
Wen Congren aimed for a long time, then looked at the three people who cooperated with each other tacitly, and consciously put down the bow.
The variables of the starting material have therefore arisen.
The black bear seemed to sense the imminent danger, and its instinct for survival made it rush towards Wen Congren.
Qin Yingtian, who had already distanced himself from the others, was caught off guard: "Master!!"
"From Ren!"
At the critical moment, Lu Xiyun drew his sword and jumped off his horse.
The sword's tip passed through, and blood gushed out from the black bear's front paw.
Lu Xiyun was pushed back a long distance by the huge force of the sword and palm, and crashed heavily into the tree behind him.
"Brother Lu!" Wen Congren's reaction was extremely intense.
Seeing Wen Congren rushing over with his spiritual realm medical skills at his disposal, Lu Xiyun quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I'm fine."
With the foundation of his Half-Step Yuanhua martial arts here, Lu Xiyun was even more angry: "Don't let it run away!"
Without waiting for any explanation, Qin Yingtian rode forward with great momentum.
The last way of survival was blocked, and the black bear no longer cared about anything else and rushed towards the cliff.
This time, he jumped over the abyss and landed on the other side of the cliff.
Qin Yingtian cursed and swore.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shu on the side did not hesitate, whipped his horse and followed closely behind, leaping over the thousand-foot-high place on his horse.
The moment he caught up with the prey again, Qin Shu took advantage of his speed and slashed it down with a heavy blow.
The black bear howled and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
Qin Yingtian was stunned and cursed even louder: "Oh my god!"
Qin Yingtian's heart skipped a beat. This madness was a bit like the insane nature of his own father.
Looking back at his teacher, Wen Congren looked even more solemn.
Qin Yingtian wasn't the only one cursing. Seeing that Qin Shu was actually planning to go back the way he came, Lu Xiyun was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Qin Shu, are you crazy?! You dare to come back like this! Bastard! Don't jump up!!"
Qin Shu put the sword back to his waist in disappointment and silently took out a copper-like coin.
The moment Qin Shu threw the copper coin, the vines clinging to the edge of the cliff seemed to be attracted by something, and gathered and entangled madly along the trajectory of the copper coin in the air.
In the blink of an eye, a simple bridge made of vines was firmly erected across the cliff.
That’s amazing! Qin Yingtian was even more certain now. It turned out that he really had two fathers. He had never seen his father play such tricks before.
When I turned around, I felt that the teacher's expression became more serious.
Apart from this subtle and weird episode, Qin Yingtian's plan was implemented quite well.
The Qin Shu in this dimension might be the other side of his wicked father. He was so kind that he gave the bear he had hunted at great risk to him and Wen Congren without saying a word.
This time during the winter hunt, the Master is safe.
Looking at his cheap apprentice who was obsessed with how to get him promoted, Wen Congren sighed and said, "You should go back first. I've got the prey. I can handle the rest myself."
Qin Yingtian's eyes lit up: "Master is wise!"
When it comes to reporting battle results, which is a job that requires exposure, it is definitely better to do it alone.
Qin Yingtian returned to the Wen family residence first and completely missed the earth-shaking assassination attempt.
Late that night, when Wen Congren returned with the ground covered in frost, his expression was as pale as paper.
"Three fourth-rank swordsmen broke into the hunting grounds, and Lu Xiyun was seriously injured."
When he said this, Wen Congren's face looked extremely bad.
His teacher seemed to be thinking of something in the past that he could never look back on, as if someone had suddenly opened an old wound, leaving blood everywhere and a chill running through his bones.
On the same day, Qin Yingtian vaguely felt that the Master was hiding something from him.
And tonight, he finally understood - Ren Xuan came to his door, he was the minion of his father in his previous life.
His teacher was quietly planning a move against Qin Shu.
Qin Yingtian was filled with doubts, but he didn't ask any further questions. He believed in the Master, and even though he was troubled, he was willing to accompany him into the unknown.
But Wen Congren could always see through his dilemma.
Wen Congren looked at him meaningfully. "There aren't so many worlds in the world, nor so many Qin Shus. He is your father, and your father once looked like the one you see now."
Qin Yingtian's words sent a cold sweat splattering down his back, and he gasped in belated realization. Damn it, he was afraid he would never be able to look this new brother in the face again.
Qin Yingtian's soul asked: "Can't he always be like this?"
Wen Congren slowly shook his head, his tone calm, with an inexplicable sense of melancholy: "I don't know. So, I'm also looking for a way out."
Qin Yingtian barely had time to think before blurting out, "Master, I'll help you."
Wen Congren laughed at him: "You, just don't make trouble."
Wen Congren's eyes were stern as he stared intently at the student before him. Qin Yingtian was a man of steel on the outside but soft on the inside. He seemed cold and resolute, sharp and unapproachable, but in reality, he was very soft-hearted. He would often call for war and killing, but in reality, he had no heart to do it.
Qin Yingtian is not like Qin Shu. Qin Yingtian is fierce in his actions, but gentle in his methods. The most criticized thing in the court is that he has a tiger father and a dog son.
But Wen Congren knew in his heart that under Qin Shu's decades of iron-blooded high pressure, Qin Yingtian, who was gentle but strong, was the most suitable successor.
He even thought at one point that Qin Shu thought the same.
But obviously, that was not the case. Qin Shu killed his son without hesitation.
Now that he is alive again, Wen Congren no longer wants to hand the initiative to Qin Shu.
Wen Congren lowered his brows. Ren Xuan's appearance tonight made this extremely talented strategist realize something.
Ren Xuan remembers his previous life, he remembers his previous life, and perhaps there are more people who remember their previous life.
This world - is far from being his own again.
He can't do it alone, he needs some help.
