Chapter 116: Kicking the Fox's Nest

Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan rushed into the forest almost at the same time.

The two were equally good at horseback riding. Wu Lie couldn't help but glance at the dashing woman who was running at the same pace as him, then quickly looked away.

As soon as the two entered the forest, they saw from a distance dozens of foxes running around Helian Yue and his group. These foxes were big and small, and of different colors, but there were so many of them that at first glance they looked like they had poked a fox den.

The guards surrounded Helian Yue in the middle, and they were all alert. They originally wanted to shoot him with arrows, but Helian Yue stopped them.

Although he didn't know why so many foxes suddenly jumped out here, he could see that these foxes had no intention of hurting anyone. Instead, they seemed to be providing some kind of cover.

Helian Yue recalled the fox-like shadow that had just flashed before his eyes.

It is similar because it is as big as a foal, and obviously twice as big as a normal fox.

Helian Yue was just thinking about it when he heard the sound of two horses approaching. He looked up and saw Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan coming together.

Perhaps startled by the sound of the two horse hooves, the foxes and foxes that were running around in the surroundings instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

Helian Yue felt more and more confused. Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan had quickly come to his side.

"emperor."

"emperor."

The two spoke at the same time. Helian Yue looked at the two people in front of him, frowned slightly, and suddenly asked Wu Lie, "Where is Concubine Lang Gui?"

Wu Lie was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sharp neighing of a horse outside the forest, in the direction where the two people were coming from.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

Helian Yue had good hearing and also heard the horse neighing. He looked at Wu Lie's reaction and thought of the direction the shadow had fled. His expression suddenly changed and he pulled the reins without hesitation and galloped in the direction of the sound.

Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan obviously realized that something was wrong, and they quickly followed Helian Yue out of the woods.

After passing the bushes, they saw open space again. Helian Yue saw only a frightened and confused horse on the open dry grassland in the distance. Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan felt their hearts sink at the same time when they saw this.

They all recognized it; it was the pony that Concubine Lang Gui had just ridden.

She doesn't know how to ride a horse. Where can she go in such a short time in such a wide open space?

From a distance, Shu Hong was seen staggering towards somewhere.

Helian Yue and his entourage immediately turned their horses around and headed towards Shu Hong.

Shu Hong heard the noise behind her and turned to see Helian Yue. She knelt down in front of him as if she had seen a savior, looking anxious, "Your Majesty! Please save Concubine Gui..."

"Where is she?!"

Helian Yue asked directly, and Shu Hong pointed in the direction of another dense forest, "Just now a figure like a beast jumped out of the forest and took the noble concubine away!"

Because Si Linglong went to learn horse riding, she and Qinglu were watching from a distance from the tent.

However, in the blink of an eye, the concubine Lang Gui, who was originally on the horse, had disappeared. All that was seen was the silhouette of a wild beast with a touch of rouge red disappearing into the dense forest.

The more Helian Yue listened to Shu Hong's words, his handsome face became as cold as water. Without any hesitation, he threw the reins again and headed towards the dense forest.

This place is surrounded by mountains on both sides. Because the mountains in the direction of the dense forest are deep and the cliffs are high, the imperial army closed the mountain roads in advance before the winter hunting to avoid accidents caused by people accidentally entering the mountains during the hunting.

However, if people were trapped in the mountains, subsequent search and rescue would be extremely difficult.

But at the moment, Helian Yue obviously couldn't care less.

As he led his men into the mountain, he threw the jade token on his waist to Gu Qingquan behind him and ordered, "Quan Fei, go back and pass on my order to search the mountain."
