Chapter 301: A Little Battle (Part 3)



Su Qi took the dagger and strode towards the entrance of the hunting ground: "Uncle!"

Su Cheng tightened the reins.

The others also looked back out of habit.

Su Qi saw the man's appearance clearly.

After handing the dagger to Su Cheng, he returned to his seat.

The old marquis and Qin Canglan were called over by Emperor Jingxuan. Wei Ting was not there either. Others went to invigilate the exam, but he went to supervise the marking of the papers.

Su Yu said: "What's wrong, second brother? You look very strange."

Su Qi clenched his fists and said solemnly: "The imperial guard next to Qin Jiang... is the archer who hid in the woods that night!"

Su Yu was startled: "Are you talking about the expert who escaped from my brother?"

Su Qi nodded: "That's right!"

Su Yu confirmed again: "The accomplice who assassinated the Third Prince and Wei Ting?"

Su Qi said seriously, "It's him! He was wearing a mask that night, but I remember his figure and eyes... There is a small scar on his right eyelid... I can't be wrong! Oh no, my uncle is in danger!"

Su Yu was a little confused: "Second brother... I don't understand..."

Su Xiaoxiao patiently explained, "Wei Ting and Xiao Chonghua were assassinated, and the eldest prince arrived with the imperial guards and killed the last few survivors. The archer in the forest escaped. If that archer was also an imperial guard, it proves that the eldest prince's appearance that night was not accidental, and the assassination was arranged by him!"

She and Wei Ting had guessed this long ago, but Su Yu didn't think about it too deeply.

Su Qi nodded: "That's it!"

Su Yu was still puzzled: "But what does this have to do with whether my uncle is in danger?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No matter who wins tonight, the emperor intends to hand over the military power to Xiao Chonghua through marriage. How can the eldest prince be willing to let his brother get the military power? He will definitely stop it."

Su Yu seemed to understand a little: "How to stop it?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Kill them both."

Su Yu was shocked: "What?!"

"This, this, this..." Su Yu lowered his voice and said, "Is he so courageous? This is right under the nose of His Majesty!"

Su Qi said coldly: "It is only under the eyes that people will not suspect you. Besides, if you are not brave enough, how can you be the emperor?"

In this world, the timid die of starvation, and the bold die of gluttony.

Su Qi and Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Duye who was chatting and laughing with Emperor Jingxuan not far away.

The brother and sister exchanged glances and stood up at the same time.

Su Yu asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to report the eldest prince?"

Su Qi shook his head: "There is no evidence, and it is useless to report it. The worst that can happen is that the eldest prince will terminate the operation and blame us."

Su Yu: "Then..."

Su Qi said: "We have to leave for something."

Su Yu was anxious: "Hey, second brother! Daya! You guys... take me with you!"

Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "Stay here and find a chance to tell Xiao Chonghua."

Su Yu asked in a low voice: "Can he be trusted? Will he help Qin Jiang and use the eldest prince to kill my uncle?"

Su Xiaoxiao paused: "He won't."

"Let's go." Su Qi said.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys..." Su Yu wanted to shout but didn't dare to be too loud, so he could only watch them leave.

The royal hunting ground is not in the palace. It is not surrounded by iron walls, but it has natural and steep barriers. It is not easy to sneak in.

"Although my martial arts skills are not as good as yours." Su Qi smiled, "but when it comes to familiarity with the terrain, yours is not as good as mine."

He took Su Xiaoxiao around to the other side of the forest.

It was a seemingly peaceful lake.

"You wait here for me, I'll sneak in from the bottom."

“No need.”

Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Can you swim?" Su Qi asked.

"A little bit." Su Xiaoxiao said.

He just said a little bit. As soon as he got into the water, he left Su Qi far behind like a fish.

Su Qi: The little bit you have and the little bit your brother has are more than a little different. -After Su Cheng entered the forest, he immediately began to search for the white-tailed fox.

But the forest is so big, where can we find a little fox? Isn't this deliberately tormenting people? "Does your Majesty always do this?" he asked the imperial guards beside him.

"Tell me, if I find one that's similar, can I get away with it?"

The imperial guards still did not answer.

"What if I spend ten days or half a month looking for you and then I get out? Will it still count?"

The guards pulled the reins tighter.

"I can't find it, and that guy probably can't find it either. What if he finds it and I rob him? Will it be mine?"

The imperial guards are almost out of control.

Su Cheng sighed: "How can you be mute at such a young age?"

Trying his best to control the rampaging imperial guards: "..."

Su Cheng rode his horse in the woods for a while and unexpectedly ran into Qin Jiang.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, isn't this the defeated general?"

Qin Jiang sneered: "Su Cheng, don't be complacent, the prey is mine, I will definitely win today!"

Su Cheng said: "Then I will follow you."

Qin Jiang: “???”

Su Cheng gave him a look to hurry up and said, "Look for it, why don't you look for it?"

I'm still waiting to rob you!

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth.

Su Cheng followed closely. When Qin Jiang went east, he also went east. When Qin Jiang went west, he also went west.

Finally, Qin Jiang couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you please stop following me!"

Su Cheng asked back: "Did they say you are not allowed to follow?"

Qin Jiang was so angry that he fell backwards. He refused to leave! He got off his horse and found a big tree to sit under.

Su Cheng also sat down slowly, right opposite him.

It's lunch time now.

Qin Jiang didn't think about eating in the woods, he only brought a water bag.

Su Cheng is different.

His daughter prepared a loving lunch for him~ Su Cheng untied the bag from the saddle, took out the food box, and opened it, revealing a shiny braised chicken leg, two orange millet meat buns, two pieces of meat jerky sprinkled with sesame seeds, and four oily and crispy wife cakes.

He even drank fruit wine! Su Cheng ate with relish.

Qin Jiang swallowed hard.

Are you here to hunt or to have a picnic?!

Qin Jiang was not hungry at first, but Su Cheng ate so happily that he also felt hungry.

Su Cheng picked up a piece of wife cake: "Do you want to eat it?"

Qin Jiang swallowed: "I..."

Su Cheng: "I won't give it to you even if you ask for it!"

Qin Jiang: “……!!”

After Su Cheng had eaten and drunk his fill, he asked Qin Jiang, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Qin Jiang said unhappily: "If you want to leave, go by yourself."

Su Cheng: "Then I won't leave either."

Qin Jiang: “…”

Qin Jiang frowned coldly.

He actually had a way to hunt down the white-tailed fox, but he had to get rid of Su Cheng.

But Su Cheng is like a dog-skin plaster——

Qin Jiang has a headache!

"What are you looking at?" Su Cheng asked impatiently.

Qin Jiang was just about to say I wasn't looking at you, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Su Cheng was not talking to him.

Su Cheng was staring at the guards around him.
