Chapter 277 Almost Laughed
Ni Kun rode on the dragon in the water, looked at Yun Chen quietly, and closed his eyes without regret.
Yun Chen had a serious murderous look on his face and shot an arrow.
The sharp tip of the arrow brushed past Ni Kun's ear—
It hit the hyena behind him right between the eyebrows as it was about to launch a sneak attack.
Ni Kun opened his eyes in surprise, looked back, and suddenly understood:
Yun Chen will not kill him.
After thinking for a moment, Ni Kun sighed heavily, not for himself, but for Yun Chen.
"You should have killed me. With the merit of killing me, you could probably be promoted to general. But if you go against His Highness's wishes, Yun Chen, your future life will be difficult."
Yun Chen didn't expect Ni Kun to know everything. "Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that I might really kill you just now?"
Ni Kun didn't care about these things at all, but asked with great interest:
"I'm very curious. His Highness must have summoned you for a meeting beforehand. What were your thoughts when His Highness asked you to kill me?"
Yun Chen said frankly, "I didn't think much of it. His Highness said you were a treacherous minister who was greedy, lustful, and partisan. He asked me to kill you, so I agreed. This is what loyalty to the emperor should do."
Ni Kun nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "Then why did you change your mind and not kill me?"
"First, His Highness ordered me not to tell Huo Gannian about this. I'm not as smart as him, but I trust him. Something that he can't know is probably not a good thing. Second, it's because..." Yun Chen hesitated, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly:
"When I was helping you onto the horse earlier, I accidentally noticed the coarse linen shirt you were wearing underneath your official robes. It was very old and had holes in it..."
Yun Chen looked at Ni Kun and said with a smile:
"Your Highness says you're a corrupt official. But as far as I know, corrupt officials wouldn't be so frugal and indifferent to money. If someone insists on vilifying someone in order to get rid of him, it just proves that 'vilification' is a lie."
After hearing Yun Chen's words, Ni Kun turned up his sleeve and took a look. There was indeed a hole on it. He couldn't help but laugh and said self-deprecatingly:
"Haha, if I had known this, I should have taken off this dress and hung it at the door!"
Yun Chen also laughed, "If that's the case, then it's fake, just for show."
"Hahahaha——" Ni Kun laughed with his head tilted back, his eyes full of admiration.
He seemed to know why the late emperor only saw Yun Chen before his death.
It was not only because Yun Chen, dressed as a man, had a heroic and feminine aura that was very similar to that of the Empress, which made these old ministers who were familiar with the Empress recognize it at a glance, and even a little dazed.
Moreover, because he had been immersed in this filthy and calculating world for too long, at his deathbed, he only wanted to see a ray of pure white.
It’s a pity that there is no room for pure white in this world.
Looking at Yun Chen's clear eyes, Ni Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"My child, your road is difficult..."
Yun Chen thought Ni Kun was talking about what was happening right now, and if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to explain to Nan Lijun.
She said to Ni Kun comfortingly:
"It's okay, I have my own way. If I can't take care of you for a while, don't panic, just hold on to the reins. Dog Xiaoliu will take you back to camp."
"'Dog Xiaoliu'?" Ni Kun looked at the water dragon sitting down with a sturdy body and shiny fur, and was amused by the name.
Two hours later.
When the hunting horn sounded again, twelve hunting teams returned one after another, loaded with prey.
When Yun Wang saw Ni Kun returning safely, his mouth opened in surprise.
On the high seat, Nan Lijun suddenly stood up and stared at Ni Kun in disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from far away.
Several members of the patrol team rushed over and carried the blood-covered Yun Chen and a dead gray wolf off their horses.
Everyone shouted "Call the imperial physician", and Nan Lijun personally rushed down from the viewing seats.
Yun Chen was covered in blood, his right arm and shoulder were all bloody from the wolf's claws, he was barely holding the bloody bow and arrow in his hand, he was already half unconscious.
Nan Lijun yelled, "Where is the imperial physician?!"
In other hunting teams, Huo Gannian and Duan Jie rushed over upon hearing the sound.
Su Zhengyang grabbed the imperial physician who rushed over and whispered:
"Carry the man inside the tent for treatment—carry him to Huo Gannian's tent!"
A large group of people surrounded Yun Chen in a panic.
But she didn't actually faint.
She had made a special calculation when hunting the gray wolf, and asked Wolf Claw to claw her right arm.
The catch wasn't deep, it just looked scary.
The blood covering her body was all wolf blood that she had deliberately smeared on her body.
To be honest, she felt very uncomfortable with so many people surrounding her and expressing their concern. She almost burst out laughing several times, and she had to pinch her thighs to bear it.
While everyone was busy lifting her, she secretly opened her eyes a little and looked out. She saw Huo Gannian sticking to her, his face dark and gloomy, holding her hand tightly. She gently shook his hand back.
Huo Gannian's expression remained unchanged, his eyes trembled slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, secretly tickling the palm of her hand with his fingers in response.
When she was carried onto the stretcher and about to leave the scene, she glanced at Ni Kun who was not far away.
The latter deliberately put on an angry face, like an old grandfather pretending to be fierce, glaring at her and motioning her to close her eyes! Act more like a real person!
She laughed out loud, then quickly covered it up with a cough, pretending to wake up in pain.
Huo Gannian immediately understood what she meant, hugged her head, buried it in his chest, hid her expression, and cried out in grief:
"Bear with it! The wound will heal immediately! The pain will go away immediately? What? You want to offer the wolf to His Highness? Fine, fine! His Highness will definitely be touched!"
