Seeing that it was effective, Li Xian quickly covered the sachet more tightly.
When the smell that could be smelled by the nose was completely occupied by the scent of the sachet, Lightning finally became quiet.
"Stop."
Pulling the horse's reins, it stopped next to a stone that was just right for the horse's stone. Li Xian kept covering Lightning's nose and dismounted awkwardly.
After getting off the horse, he immediately untied the saddle and threw it aside, then took out some herbs from the sachet and rubbed it hard on Lightning's back.
After completing all this, he tried to loosen the sachet.
After the sachet left, Lightning's nose started to buzz again, and he looked at his master, obviously wanting to get closer, but he just didn't dare.
Seeing Lightning's movements, Li Xian understood immediately.
But....
He glanced at the armor he was wearing and saw that taking it off wouldn't help unless he stripped naked.
But in this weather, if I just go back to the camp, I will definitely catch a cold.
As a last resort, Li Xian had no choice but to temporarily give up trying to appease Lightning. Instead, he walked to the saddle and watched it warily.
There is no doubt that the mystery lies within.
Fortunately, the smelly things are not directly harmful. The person who did this secretly probably just wanted to frighten Lightning so as to achieve the purpose of causing harm.
However, he did not expect that Lightning was still more interested in its master. Although he ran wildly under the stimulation of the smell, he did not run at the fastest speed. After suppressing the fear in his heart, he even slowed down.
If it had been a different horse, he might have been unable to control it at this time and fell off the horse.
It would be fine if it were land....
No, at that speed, even the land would probably lose half its life.
Moreover, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and it is not uncommon for someone to fall off a cliff.
In this case, the other party's goal is his own life.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a chill on his spine.
There is a big difference between being mentally prepared and actually experiencing it.
From the day he became the prince, he had been mentally prepared to be plotted against.
However, when he actually encountered such a situation, he found that he was still afraid.
You only have one life, and no one can do it again!
Thinking of this, he retracted his outstretched arm without hesitation, sat on the ground on the side, and began to use the medicinal materials in the sachet to wipe it on his armor, buttocks and other places.
As the smell on his body weakened, Lightning dared to get closer, but he never dared to get really close. Instead, he lay down directly on the ground three or four meters away.
The sound of horse hooves sounded like raindrops from far to near. When he saw Li Yun from a distance, Li Xian immediately stretched out his hand to signal him not to come close.
Li Yun was not an idiot. When he saw His Highness the Crown Prince's gesture, he immediately ordered everyone to stop, jumped off his horse, and approached quickly.
Kneeling down on one knee, Li Yun said angrily: "My slave was in a bad position to protect me. I came late because I was drunk. I really deserve death!"
After saying this, blood stains appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, don't hurt yourself. If you want to be forgiven, go and see what's going on with that saddle."
Hearing this, Li Yun walked towards An Chan who had fallen to the ground without hesitation.
As soon as he got closer, he smelled the fishy, stinky and mixed smell. He suppressed the urge to cover his nose. He resisted the discomfort and smelled hard. Just one breath made him frown.
As a master of martial arts and a connoisseur of medicine, he could smell that there was something poisonous like five insects in the smell. As for the rest, he didn't know what it was.
Pulling out the horizontal knife from his waist, he stepped forward firmly and began to look through the saddle.
No problem here, no problem there.
When there were only two cushions belonging to the Empress left to check, he hesitated for a moment and then cut the cushions in half with a knife.
There was nothing wrong with the queen's cushion, but the cushion given by the emperor was soaked inside, and there was a pouch in the middle that looked wrong.
He took out a pair of deerskin gloves from his arms and after putting them on, Li Yun took out the bag without hesitation.
It's not that he didn't check Lightning's saddle yesterday, but because these two pads were given by the Empress, he just looked through them without paying attention to more details. Who knows, the problem lies in this.
He slashed the bag into pieces with a knife, causing black water to splash everywhere.
As the smell spread, Lightning, who had calmed down and was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. After running a few steps towards his owner, he couldn't resist the fear and ran out again.
The horses of the people a dozen steps away also went crazy again.
With a gloomy face, Li Yun walked to the bag, thought for a while, then reached out and tapped it, then brought it to his mouth to taste.
Just a little taste made him spit.
After kicking the soil a few times to cover the liquid a little, Li Yun turned back and reported: "Your Highness, someone put a bag inside the mat that Your Majesty gave you, and there is a small prickly ball in it. As long as you keep riding the horse, With friction, the bag will burst and the fluid inside will come out.”
"poisonous?"
"Poisonous, but the toxicity is not particularly severe. At most, the poisoned person will cut off a little bit of flesh. The slave guessed that in addition to poisons such as the Five Poisons, there is also beast urine in the liquid, so the smell comes out. After that, all the horses were frightened. Your lightning is the best horse, and it can run at full speed, as fast as lightning. Therefore, those who secretly want to make you fall off the horse and die."
Glancing at the dark-faced Li Yun, Li Xian smiled slightly and asked, "What was the result of the interrogation of those two people last night?"
Li Yong knelt down on one knee again and said: "The slaves are incompetent. One couldn't bear the punishment and died. The other didn't let go. He even wanted to commit suicide when he got the chance. It seems that he is a specially trained death warrior."
"A specially trained death warrior."
Looking in the direction of Chang'an, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
The interior of the palace, which is already as deep as the sea, doesn't look that simple.
How come anyone can sneak in some people? In other words, it is precisely because it is useful to sneak in, so everyone wants to sneak in?
"Don't make any noise about this matter for now. Let's continue hunting. When we get back to the camp, I will personally interrogate that tough-talking guy."
"Your Highness, as for the servants..."
"Okay, I can't blame you entirely for this matter. I know your loyalty very well."
Seeing that the prince had left, Li Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but when he looked at the saddle again, he changed into a ferocious expression like a devil.
Anyone who dares to threaten the prince will die!
I hope this time, the person behind the scenes can be caught!
