The scenery of Linxi is excellent.
The bleak wind in winter blows off the dead leaves, flying one after another and falling on people's shoulders. There are also some relatively cold-resistant trees that are still growing with greenery.
Cheng Wanwan rode directly to the west, because the east mountain of Linxi had been cleared by the King of Qin, so it was unlikely that He Ling's people were hiding here, and she had to go to the west mountain for a walk.
A trace of worry appeared on Yan Hong's face: "Dear lady, there are deep mountains and old forests over there. Is there any danger?"
Cheng Wanwan observed the terrain and said: "This is obviously a small road. There should be people entering all year round. Since there are people, there is a high probability that there will be no wild beasts coming in or out. And it is winter now, and wild beasts only come out in ten days and a half." If you forage once, the risk factor is within control, so don’t worry.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded behind her.
At the same time, an arrow passed by her side and hit the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Oops, it ran away again!" A charming voice came from behind, "The lady must be scared. My archery skills are very good and I won't hurt the lady. I just wanted to shoot a deer. It's not my fault that the lady was frightened, I'm sorry..."
Cheng Wanwan slowly turned around, met a pair of smart eyes, and said in surprise: "It's you..."
The pretty girl never expected that the lady in front of her was Sui Shuren. She was so frightened that she immediately picked up her sleeves to cover her face and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not me, it's not me. Sui Shuren got it wrong!"
Cheng Wanwan couldn't laugh or cry.
This girl was the white-faced soldier who followed the hussar general that day. Unexpectedly, he met her at the hunting party.
Seeing that her eyes were full of smiles, the girl put down her sleeves dejectedly, sighed and said: "Okay, I admit that Ruan Cheng is me, I am Ruan Cheng... Sui Shu, please do well, I have nothing to do with entering the military camp." Don't let anyone know that if this gets to my mother's ears, I will have my legs broken. Even if my legs are broken, my father will definitely be kicked out of the bedroom by my mother. He will sleep in the study every day. It’s not easy to get older..."
She turned over and dismounted, holding Cheng Wanwan's sleeves and begging.
"Ms. Ruan, let go first." Cheng Wanwan held his forehead, "Mrs. Ruan and I don't know each other. Even if we did, I wouldn't mention this matter too much, okay?"
"Xie Suishun!" The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile on her face, "Then let me introduce you again. My name is Ruan Mingzhu, and my nickname is Xiao Zhuzhu. I am the daughter of General Hussar. In the capital, I am a talented woman named Ruan who is outstanding in cavalry and archery. Miss, in the military camp is Ruan Cheng, the attendant of the General Hussars!"
Cheng Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Xiao Zhuzhu, my eldest granddaughter has the same name."
"No, Sui Shu even has a granddaughter." Ruan Mingzhu looked in disbelief, "Sui Shu looks younger than my sister-in-law, and she is actually a grandmother."
Cheng Wanwan was numb from being praised for her youth all the time. She smiled and said, "This is Xishan. Why are you here alone? Go back quickly."
"Aren't the people from Sui Shu also here?" Ruan Mingzhu rubbed her hands, "Dongshan was cleared by the prince, so there must be no big prey. If you want to hunt, you have to come to Xishan. I just saw a deer, and Roe deer, there are so many prey, let’s go for a walk, Suishu people, let’s go together and try to get the top spot today.”
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She finally got rid of the large army, but was entangled by a little girl. How could she explore the truth of the He family?
Ruan Mingzhu had already sat on the mount excitedly and kicked the horse's belly: "Drive!"
The horse immediately moved forward.
Cheng Wanwan had no choice but to follow.
If she sees the prey later, this girl will definitely chase after her regardless. When the time comes, she can just take the opportunity to "get away".
However, it is really dangerous for a little girl to come to the deep forest alone.
Cheng Wanwan gave Yan Hong a look and asked Yan Hong to follow Ruan Mingzhu.
It will be easier for her to move alone then.
A group of three people were walking deep in the dense forest. From time to time, big birds flew overhead, and some rabbits and squirrels ran quickly...
However, Ruan Mingzhu looked down upon these small prey and continued walking deeper into the forest on horseback.
Cheng Wanwan gradually fell behind, constantly observing the terrain...
She found the right moment, turned the horse's head, and planned to go straight into the interior of Xishan from a trail...
However, a piercing sound suddenly came from the side.
She turned around suddenly and saw a small hidden weapon coming in her direction, but the hidden weapon was not aimed at her, but at the horse beneath her.
Before she could order the horse under her crotch to run quickly, the hidden weapon was stuck in the horse's butt.
The horse neighed in pain and suddenly sped up. Cheng Wanwan quickly grabbed the reins, lowered his body, and crawled on the horse's back.
"Lady!"
"Sui Shu people!"
Behind her, the screams of Yan Hong and Ruan Mingzhu came, and they followed.
But a normal horse cannot match the speed of an out-of-control horse.
The usually docile horse was probably going crazy with pain right now. It was running wildly in the forest. It bumped its head against the tree trunk several times and failed to stop it. Instead, it became even crazier. Its body swayed greatly. Cheng Wan I was so dizzy that I almost fainted.
She knew that this was not the way to go, either she would be thrown off and fall to death, or the horse would rush off the cliff and they would both fall to death.
This horse was the first horse in her family to buy a carriage. It has been in her family for four years. It has a docile personality and listens to its owner...
A dagger appeared out of thin air in Cheng Wanwan's hand and he raised it high.
As long as the dagger is inserted into the horse's aorta, the horse will die in a short time and she will be saved.
However, she couldn't do it.
She has never been a cold-blooded person, so how could she kill her partner who had been with her for four years...
The horse continued to neigh and run, venting the pain in its body.
Cheng Wanwan closed her eyes and finally chose to take back the dagger.
Firstly, she was reluctant to part with it, and secondly, she was afraid that she might not be able to stab the horse correctly, which would only cause the horse to be more irritated, and even the gods would not be able to save her...
She could only save herself in another way.
That is, vaulting horse.
She held the reins tightly with one hand, and searched the system store for tools, a helmet with the highest safety factor, and a suit of armor with the other hand. Then she bought a lot of quilts and threw them on the ground after the quilts came out of the system. At that moment, she made a decisive jump and her body landed on the quilt accurately... However, due to the inertial movement, she rolled several times on the ground, and her body inevitably suffered some scratches...
However, it was much better than she imagined.
The moment she got up from the ground, the injured horse had already run far away and quickly disappeared from her sight.
Cheng Wanwan pursed her lips and put the helmet, armor, and quilt back into the storage room.
Don't let her know who did it, otherwise, she will never show mercy.
Suddenly, voices came from the woods.
"I just heard the sound of horse hooves. Wasn't the hunting party held by King Qin in Dongshan? How could a horse come to Xishan?"
"Someone must have broken in here by mistake. If the cave is discovered, everything will be over."
"Cover the cave, let's evacuate first!"
"yes!"
Cheng Wanwan's eyes turned cold.
She actually stumbled into the He family's secret base by mistake, so it wasn't all a gain.
