As autumn enters, the days gradually become shorter. Just after Shenshi, the sun begins to set in the west, and the daylight gradually becomes less bright. Groups of people who went into the mountains to hunt also returned to the camp one after another.
Wei Zijian led his escort back with a full load, and each person's saddle was hung with many prey, including hares, roe deer, deer, and even a rare fire fox.
The fur of the fire fox is soft and delicate, as smooth as silk, and its color is bright, red like fire, like burning flames. Its big tail is even more eye-catching, as fluffy as a cloud.
A sharp arrow shot from the left eye and out from the right ear without damaging the integrity of the entire fur.
Wei Zijian presented the fire fox to Emperor Zhengyuan. Emperor Zhengyuan was very happy and rewarded him with a hundred gold.
When Wei Zijian received the reward and returned to his tent, he saw Wei Qian waving her whip at a few small trees outside his tent.
"Who made you angry again?" Wei Zijian stepped forward with a smile.
"It's not you, brother." Wei Qi said, venting her anger and whipping her a few more times.
"What did I do wrong? Isn't it enough for me to correct it?" Wei Zijian reached out and took the riding crop from Wei Qi's hand, and then took her into the camp.
"As promised before, brother was going to teach that little devil a lesson for me. But when we got to the paddock, you only focused on hunting by yourself." Wei Qi said aggrievedly.
"I take my promise to you very seriously. Just wait and see." Wei Zijian poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wei Qi.
"I want her to be ruined! She will never be able to marry!" Wei Qi said bitterly as she took the tea cup.
"Okay, okay, brother, I have remembered everything Si Qian said." Wei Zijian smiled to appease her.
After Wei Qian left the tent, Wei Zijian clapped his hands twice. A man dressed as a sentry walked out from behind the tent and saluted Wei Zijian.
"Have you found anyone?" Wei Zijian asked.
"Go back to your lord, I found it. But the situation is a bit complicated." The sentry replied.
"Long story short." Wei Zijian said while cleaning his hands.
"Miss Shen and the others left the hunting area and entered Que'er Ridge in the inner mountains. They bumped into Wei Ziyuan and was assassinated. They accidentally saved Wei Ziyuan. Later, they divided into two groups and came back all the way to bring in reinforcements. They took Wei Ziyuan to hide along the way. Enter a cave," the sentry concluded briefly.
"Wei Ziyuan was assassinated?" Wei Zijian wiped his hands and smiled, "This is interesting."
"Where could you possibly find their hiding place?"
"Go back to your lord, my subordinates have sent people to guard outside the cave."
"How many people are in the cave?"
"In addition to Wei Ziyuan and one of his personal guards, there are Miss Shen Si, Miss Zhang Er, the Minister of Rites, and Miss Lu from the Zhongyi Hou family."
"We are all here together. It really takes no effort at all." Wei Zijian sighed slightly, "Since they have ruined Sissi's reputation, let them accompany her to ruin her reputation."
"Take a few people and go quickly. You must arrive before their reinforcements and blow more 'Fushengsan' into the cave. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, withdraw and don't let anyone notice."
"Yes." The sentry took the order and left.
"Fu Sheng Powder" is a medicine commonly used in dusty places. It is extremely effective. A few dollars can make people lose all their sanity and stimulate their mating instincts.
When wisps of smoke drifted in from the entrance of the cave, everyone in the cave felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The sweet smell shocked Wei Ziyuan, and he immediately said: "Hurry and hold your breath! Soak the handkerchief and cover your mouth and nose."
Shen Zhuo and others hurriedly took out their handkerchiefs, soaked them with a water bag and covered their faces. Just as the cave was busy, the sound of swords clashing at the entrance of the cave was heard, as if someone was fighting.
In less than a moment, the outside was quiet again, with only a faint smell of blood floating in the air, and the previous sweet aroma completely disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what happened.
Lu Waner held a dagger in her hand and Shen Zhuo walked in tandem, boldly exploring the entrance of the cave. Under the setting sun, the two of them could only see that the weeds at the entrance of the cave had been trampled on, and there were a lot of blood stains on them. Other than that, there was nothing. No ambush, no swords, no people, nothing.
The two felt strange and fearful, so they quickly ran back to the cave and told others what they saw.
"I heard that the mountains are often haunted by spirits. Could it be that you encountered a mountain monster?" Zhang Jingyi was so frightened that she clutched Wei Ziyuan's sleeves.
Wei Ziyuan glanced at her and said helplessly: "It's not a spirit, it's a human being."
"How do you know it's human?"
"Who is it?"
Zhang Jingyi and Lu Waner asked questions at the same time.
"There should be two groups of people outside. The smoke that was blown into the cave earlier was 'Fu Sheng Powder', which is a commonly used sex medicine in Chunlou." At this point, Wei Ziyuan paused, "The person who used the medicine knew what was going on inside the cave. Yes, it seems our whereabouts have been exposed."
"The people coming from behind stopped their actions. From the sounds, it seems that the latter group of people captured the first group of people alive. As for why they didn't show up..." Wei Ziyuan smiled, "Maybe they wanted to wait and see."
"Then aren't we safe?" Shen Zhuo asked.
"At present, maybe so." Wei Ziyuan nodded.
"How do you know it's 'Fu Sheng San'? Are you familiar with it?" Zhang Jingyi didn't care about any weird things at this time and just stared at Wei Ziyuan and asked.
Wei Ziyuan hesitated and felt embarrassed. Talking about aphrodisiacs to a group of eleven or twelve-year-old girls didn't seem to be a good idea?
"The folk customs in Mobei are fierce, and the women are bold and aggressive. That 'Fu Sheng San' is not a rare thing, and many women often use it on their lovers. My general has been drugged many times, so he is familiar with it." Jiang Yan saw The situation was wrong, so I hurriedly came forward to explain.
Wei Ziyuan glanced at Jiang Yan silently, his eyes bright, asking you to talk more.
Knowing that there was an unknown person guarding the outside of the cave, the nerves of the people in the cave relaxed.
"Who do you think will be guarding outside?" Lu Waner asked curiously.
"Why don't they come in?" Zhang Jingyi also asked curiously.
"Because the enemy is still in the dark. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so I am easily attacked." Shen Zhuo could figure it out.
"Oh, I understand. We act as bait and they catch big fish." Lu Waner said suddenly.
Shen Zhuo paused: "Well... you are right to think so."
Wei Ziyuan twitched his lips and showed a smile. These little girls were quite interesting. However, he roughly guessed who was outside the cave. Nothing more than three little girls’ families. As for the person who wants to kill him, he has a vague idea in his mind, and he will only confirm it after he successfully escapes.
The medicines Shen Zhuo brought were all of the best, especially the Jinchuang medicine from Nanshan Hall, which was really miraculous. As time went by, Wei Ziyuan and Jiang Yan's spirits had recovered to some extent.
When you feel relaxed, time is no longer difficult. Shen Zhuo and others chattered around Wei Ziyuan and Jiang Yan, asking them to talk about strange things in Mobei.
Just as Wei Ziyuan was coming to the end of "Desert Fox", there was another sound from the cave entrance. It was a deep and deep voice, with a hint of anxiety.
"Wan'er, are you there?"
Lu Waner jumped up and ran towards the entrance of the cave, shouting: "I'm here, brother, I'm here."
