They continued to stroll along the road slowly, with no intention of returning to the center of the hunting ground. Bai Feng talks about how conscientious he is, but in fact no one hates his current job more than him.
The road was deserted except for Bai Feng and Yu Ke.
The long horn sound continues to play and can be heard from a long distance away. This sound drives the indigenous people in the forest to hide quickly to avoid being caught by the hunters who come, and the hunters have to find the designated location in the shortest possible time. of prey to show off their abilities.
Huge locust trees and ancient cypresses stood quietly on both sides. The branches were too high and the branches could not bear the strength, so they naturally drooped. Looking from a distance, they seemed to be bowing to welcome them.
Between the dense forests, the road ahead seems to extend infinitely, at least that's what Yu Ke thinks in his heart.
"Brother, are you really not planning to go back?" Yu Ke probed cautiously.
Bai Feng held the reins, and the horse behind him carried the little girl slowly on the road: "They don't need me anyway. Everyone in the Gao family army has more experience on the battlefield than I do. I'm just a foil, nothing." An impossible mascot.”
"Then how long do you plan to walk?" Yu Ke asked: "Don't you feel tired after walking for so long? Why don't you sit up too... Actually, I want to hold the reins, and my sworn brother is sitting behind to protect me. That’s good!”
Bai Feng looked sideways and smiled, immediately got on the horse, put the reins on Yu Ke's hand, and said: "The most important thing to avoid when learning something is to be impatient. You are still young and cannot control the power of a horse. If you don't believe it, why not feel it for yourself?"
Yu Ke flicked the reins lightly and was almost taken out by the horse's bit. Fortunately, Bai Feng was prepared and grabbed her hands first.
"Look, it just moved its head, but you can't hold it anymore?"
Yu Ke smiled with a blush on his face: "When I grow up, I won't be like this!"
If a mirror were placed in front of her now, Yu Ke would definitely feel unbelievable at her charming expression. Her small body longed to be protected, and she had inadvertently leaned tightly against Bai Feng's chest.
After a moment, the horse suddenly neighed for no apparent reason, and then immediately started galloping forward for no reason, stumbling along the way, and its pace was messy.
"What's going on? Stop!" Bai Feng tried his best and almost pulled off the horse's bridle, but to no avail.
The horse seemed to have lost its vision and crashed into a huge ancient cypress. Bai Feng took advantage of the situation and hugged Yu Ke, threw him to the ground and rolled several times. Fortunately, both of them were not seriously injured, but the horse died on the spot. .
"Why did this horse suddenly become like this?" Bai Feng's experience told him that such an unprovoked thing would not happen. He walked around the horse's body and suddenly saw a piece of paper on the horse's butt. The arrow, judging from its shape, should be a heavy crossbow arrow.
"What is this?" Bai Feng immediately came back to his senses and rushed towards Yu Ke, yelling: "Ake, get down quickly!"
In an instant, there was a sound as the arrow passed through the gap, hitting the gap between Bai Feng's armor-covered arm and ribs, and inserted into his body horizontally. Bai Feng fell down and soon died.
"Brother!" Yu Ke was lying on the ground and crawling away. He was about to go over to check the situation: "You were hit by an arrow? Who, who is there?"
"Don't touch it, this arrow is poisonous!" Bai Feng grabbed Yu Ke's shoulder and whispered: "Leave me alone and call for help. The assassin must have run away..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Feng fell into a brief coma due to severe pain.
Yu Ke immediately looked for reinforcements in the direction he came from, asking for help everywhere. Soon, Gao Yang and his party were the first to realize something was wrong, and they immediately came to Bai Feng's side.
"Mr. Bai, can you hear what I'm saying?" Ajuan took a step forward and inadvertently hooked her long skirt with a narrow train onto the branches nearby, but she didn't stick to the details and simply tore off that part of her clothes. , prepared to treat Bai Feng's wounds.
"The arrows are poisonous, be careful." Bai Feng reminded again.
"The slave family also has medicinal powder here to make you feel better." Ajuan opened a small cloth and spread a colorful powder on Bai Feng's wound. The fragrance was fragrant and pleasant.
"Is it the pollen of that poisonous flower?" Bai Feng asked.
Ajuan replied: "Tao Wu used Mr. Tao to make a new mixture for the slave family. Now it can be used as a superior wound medicine."
"Then it's also a 'poisonous flower'. I don't want to become a madman." Bai Feng laughed at himself. After speaking, Gao Yang also came to the young general and asked, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, it was an assassin who did it! Everyone, please end today's safari as soon as possible..." After the wounds were briefly treated, Bai Feng was immediately escorted to the carriage by the servants, and went to report the assassin's incident with Gao Yang.
Everyone came to the most prosperous place of the hunting ground. At that time, Zhao Kuo and the emperor were having a great time. The two competed in archery. They were equally superior and far surpassed the other sons of powerful men. It was really difficult to find an opponent until Gao Yang brought people to report. News, this hunting game has ended.
"Father, there is an assassin in the forest!" Gao Yang pointed to the carriage behind him and explained: "Just now, General Bai Feng fought with the assassin. Unfortunately, he was injured and his life is now in danger. Please return to Jinyang as soon as possible to recover."
After hearing this, Gao Huan and Zhao Kuo said in unison: "What!"
Zhao Kuo immediately dropped his bow and arrows and came to the carriage. Seeing that Ajuan was also covered in blood, he couldn't help asking: "Are you okay, Sister Juan?"
"Nang Zhi, I just ruined my clothes, Mr. Bai's life is what matters! The slave family knows that there are deep conflicts between you, but!"
"What trouble has this guy caused again..."
After meeting Bai Feng, Zhao Kuo also admonished the emperor: "Your Majesty, please order the Gao family army to investigate this matter thoroughly! I think the assassin did not come for the Emperor or His Highness, but to take the life of General Bai Feng."
Gao Huan nodded and immediately ordered two thousand Gao family troops to search the entire forest. He then headed back home and hurriedly ended today's trip.
Zuowei General Bai Feng was ambushed by assassins only half a month after taking office. It would be a disgrace to the emperor and his relatives to spread this incident. Therefore, the Gao family army and the imperial court were trying their best to conceal it and prevent the news from being exposed. But Bai Feng, Naturally, he was temporarily placed in Gao Xijun and Gao Gao's mansion.
After two days and two nights of diagnosis and treatment, more than a dozen imperial doctors from both the imperial court and the imperial court took turns to look after her, but they still could not cure the poison in Bai Feng's body. Even more than half of the doctors said that Bai Feng was incurable. In order to relieve Bai Feng's pain, Ajuan could only keep feeding him the medicinal powder she brought so that he would not fall into a long-term coma.
However, this will ultimately treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
In desperation, Fu Wentao could only plead to Gao Gao and Gao Xijun in private: "Now, only Miss Murong can save Brother Bai, let me bring her out!"
Gao Gao and Gao Xijun couldn't bear to lose a good helper like Bai Feng, but they couldn't afford to completely become enemies with Sima Tu and Taiping Dao under the current situation.
"I can only take you outside the Taiping Dao Taoist Temple, and the rest is up to you... If Fu Shaoxia can really bring Murong Yan out, I will definitely send someone to pick you up." Gao Gao raised his hands and said in respect: "This matter, Only you people in the world can do it."
