Chapter 92 My Mother Hasn’t Hit Me for Three Days
Qin Wang happened to fall on the dead horse, but his calf was still injured by the wooden thorn.
When the golden eagle swooped down, Qin Wang instinctively retracted his hand.
Qin Huo, always calm and composed, quickly grabbed the golden eagle's legs. The golden eagle's wingspan was over six feet, more than enough to lift Qin Huo.
After escaping the deep pit, Qin Huo let go and jumped to the ground, glancing at the eagle feathers in his hand and smiling: "Brother Eagle, thank you!"
The golden eagle didn't even look at him, but chirped twice gently in the direction of Tianbao.
Tianbao heard the sound of horse hooves approaching in the distance, and hurriedly waved at it covertly. The golden eagle then circled and rushed into the blue sky.
"Sixth... Sixth brother? Help me... Snake, there is a snake here..." The Fourth Prince cried for help in a trembling voice, as if the snake had already coiled around his neck.
Qin Huo ran to the edge of the pit and saw a small, round-headed snake as thick as a finger coiling around his arm and moving closer to his face. It was spitting out its tongue as it coiled around him: hiss... hiss...
"This snake is not poisonous and one bite won't kill you. Fourth brother is quite skilled and he can be saved if he holds on a little longer." After Qin Huo said that, he left him there and ran straight to the tree where Tianbao and the fourth princess were.
He shook his head and sighed. After visually estimating the height, he stretched out his hands in a "catching" gesture: "Do you dare to jump down?"
Just as he fell into the pit, he heard a cry of surprise from the tree. Looking up, he saw that the two of them had climbed up the tree without him noticing. To avoid alerting the enemy, he asked Tian Bao to be silent, and then he waited for Qin Wang to come over.
As early as when he saw the tiger, he guessed that there would be danger here.
But high risks often come with high returns.
He wanted to completely crush this scum Qin Wang, so he used his trick to chase him. He originally wanted to stop the other two fools, but it was too late. He didn't expect Qin Wang to be so cruel and wanted to kill him!
"Of course we dare!" The tree branch where Tianbao and the others were was more than ten feet above the ground, about four meters.
As soon as she finished speaking, her little figure jumped down with a "whoosh".
Qin Huo was so frightened that he held his breath, not daring to blink, as he gently held the little creature in his arms. His arms were numb from the shock. He was shocked and angry, and spoke through gritted teeth, "You! You really love excitement. What if you get hurt?"
When the tyrant and his entourage arrived, they happened to see this scene.
"Have fun!" Xu Laiqing shouted with red eyes.
Tian Bao's scalp tightened, and she quickly jumped out of Qin Huo's arms, twisting her fingers helplessly: "Third brother, I... I jumped down from the tree, and that's why the prince brother came to pick me up. I... I didn't... Wuuwuwu, I didn't forget your instructions."
She thought Xu Laiqing was angry about the "inappropriate physical contact between men and women", and the more she talked, the more scared she became, and she was scared to tears.
Xu Laiqing rushed to her and as he crossed the deep pit, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the glaring scarlet inside.
He grabbed Tian Bao and looked the little guy over from head to toe: "Who told you to run to the hunting ground alone?! What if you get hurt?!"
Every word was roared, causing Tianbao's eardrums to hurt.
When she was in Nanqiao, any delicious food in the palace was sent to Lewan Palace. Tianbao was not picky about food, but she grew very slowly. At the age of seven, she looked like a five or six-year-old. So when she was so little, she was pitiful and very distressing.
Xu Laiqing saw her with her shoulders and head drooping, hugging his arm helplessly, tears falling down her face but she didn't dare to cry out loud, she didn't have a breath left.
"Well... she is not alone, don't yell at her, I asked her to come hunting with me." The fourth princess who was still trapped in the tree was unhappy.
Xu Laiqing looked up and saw that the air was cold and thin without a trace of warmth. Although she didn't say anything, the Fourth Princess shivered inexplicably. It felt like a biting cold wind drilling into her bones.
She suddenly disliked Xu Laiqing. Why was he so mean for no reason?
Qin Huo patted Xu Laiqing's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be angry, it's good for her to be naughty."
After saying that, he strode forward: "Father, please save my fourth brother!"
The fat tyrant's tense nerves relaxed from the moment he saw Tianbao was safe and sound. When Tianbao looked at him in confusion, he began to look around to avoid her gaze, completely forgetting to check the deep pits.
After being rescued, the terrified Fourth Prince burst into tears: "It's so terrible! I almost won't see the sun tomorrow!"
"The Observatory says there's no sun today. It's cloudy, so you can't see it anyway." The fifth prince interjected honestly.
The Fourth Prince glared at him fiercely.
"Father! Save me!" The voice of the eldest prince Qin Wang came from another deep pit.
Soon, the eldest prince and the third prince who had already died were also fished out.
Qin Wang bit back at the very moment of death. He pointed at Qin Huo, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "Father, it was this little devil who pushed me down. He wants my life! I'm no longer the crown prince, yet he still sees me as a thorn in his side. I beg you to intervene for me and my deceased third brother!"
The Fourth Prince looked over with a strange expression and said abruptly, "Brother, I'm not dead yet. Have you forgotten me?"
Qin Wang shuddered and added, "Father, my fourth and sixth brothers are accomplices! They deliberately jumped into the trap to rid themselves of suspicion. Otherwise, why did only my third brother suffer misfortune, while he remained unharmed?"
The Fourth Prince had a sorrowful expression, his swollen purple hand trembling. "Brother, do you think I'm safe and sound? I was almost bitten by a snake just now...Brother, your lies are becoming more and more perfect! I'm not dead, I'm a witness. It was clearly you who set up these traps, intending to catch Third Brother, me, and Sixth Brother all at once! Sixth Brother was so capable that he actually climbed out of the pit and pushed you in. You're so lucky!"
"Don't forget, Fourth Sister in the tree also saw it clearly, and Princess Nanqiao is also a witness!"
“…” Qin Wang’s smile froze.
His body couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't utter a single word with his half-open mouth for a long time.
These changes today were really beyond his expectations!
"Hahaha... you idiot, you can't beat that little evil demon, why are you so proud? Sooner or later you will..." Qin Wangkuang was laughing halfway when he was knocked unconscious and dragged away by the imperial guards at the tyrant's signal.
The tyrant frowned, and his chubby face instantly turned into a terrifying pile of flesh.
The fourth prince lowered his head and said timidly, "My mother hasn't hit me for three days."
Everyone: ???
The Fourth Prince continued to grumble in grievance, "So I've gotten a little bolder these past few days, a little overconfident. I thought I could hunt that tiger, so I... rode my horse right into this trap..."
"Tiger? There is a tiger in the hunting ground?" The tyrant was stunned.
"Roar~" The whistling sound, accompanied by a sharp breeze, pierced everyone's eardrums.
"Yes, yes, yes! Father! Tianbao and I were so scared when we saw the tiger that we climbed up the tree to hide!" The fourth princess finally remembered the reason why she climbed the tree.
