Chapter 841: Who Allowed You to Hit Her
The trees, flowers, and plants here were almost the same, and the surroundings were particularly dark. The torches had been lit several times, but the speed at which they were extinguished was extremely fast, making it difficult for them to move an inch.
With them doing this, Xie Qiao was still nowhere to be found.
Zhao Xuanjing observed the movements around him and suddenly heard rustling in the forest. In the blink of an eye, a pheasant passed by not far from him.
It was in the middle of the night, so something was obviously wrong.
“Capture it,” Zhao Xuanjing ordered concisely.
He sat on the horse and wore a white robe embroidered with gold for the first time that night. He looked elegant and handsome. In the dark night, he was much more eye-catching than the others.
With his order, Zhou Weizong and the others immediately took action.
The subordinates with night vision were useful at this moment, so it was not difficult to capture the pheasant.
They got it in a short while.
“Get it to lead the way,” Zhao Xuanjing said.
Wen Lancheng looked at the pheasant with a confused look, not understanding what he meant.
Xie Pinggang thought about it and came to a realization.
In the middle of the night, this kind of harmless little animal should hide in its nest and sleep, not daring to run around. However, the pheasant passed them by as if there was no one around just now.
He and His Highness had gone to Xun County with Master Mo before, and they knew that the evil spirits in this world could affect these animals.
So, it was very likely that this pheasant was influenced by evil spirits, and that was why it ran around.
He immediately did as His Highness said.
After tying its legs, he let the pheasant go.
It fluttered in the air, sometimes flying and sometimes jumping, and flew straight in a direction.
“Oh no! I heard a lot of sounds, like the sound of horses’ hooves. I wonder what kind of beast it is!” Yu Xian’s ears were close to the ground as she listened to the sounds, and then her face turned pale.
Feng Yingying buried her head in fear, and her voice trembled. “The light is going out…”
As soon as she finished her words, the fire in the lamp became smaller and smaller.
Yu Xian immediately stood up with a blade in her hand, ready to kill.
At this moment, the sound of fights was heard first.
“It’s not a wild beast?” Yu Xian’s hand that was holding the blade was trembling. “It’s midnight, it can’t be a bandit, right?”
“It’s coming to our rescue.” Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She had performed divination, and today was indeed a day of bad luck.
However, there was always a variable, and they would definitely survive.
Moreover, even if no one came, she would try her best to survive until the end. At worst, she would use all the things in her bamboo basket and exhaust all her energy, and she would not let anything happen to Yu Xian and Feng Yingying.
Before Zhao Xuanjing and his people got close to these beasts, they could already vaguely see some lights, so they came over without saying anything.
They were beasts, but they were actually not that scary. There were two or three wolves, and there were more wild boars. Other than those, there were also some small animals, such as snakes, insects and rats. They could deal with them.
Animals were more timid than humans. Initially, Xie Qiao and the other two were delicious meat, but now that other people had suddenly appeared, these animals began to flee in all directions. In a short while, the surroundings were empty.
Zhao Xuanjing held a sword in his left hand. The sword was stained with blood.
His pair of handsome eyebrows were full of killing intent, and he looked quite scary.
It was difficult to fight in such a dark place. Fortunately, these guards had been trained. Otherwise, if they attacked blindly, they would probably hit their own people.
Yu Xian sat on the ground and said, “I thought I was going to die today.”
Xie Pinggang rushed up, he hit Xie Qiao on the head and said, “You just won’t admit it that you’re a fool. Do you think you are Master Mo? I have to bring people to save you in the middle of the night. If you won’t stop behaving like this, I will tie you up in the future and you’re prohibited from going anywhere!”
Xie Qiao’s head hurt.
What could she do?!
If she did not chase after the evil spirits, she would die!
Moreover, she did not know that this place was so scary. She was innocent, right?
Her foolish brother did not comfort her and even attacked her!
“Minister Xie, what did you do?” Zhao Xuanjing’s cold voice drifted into Xie Pinggang’s ears. “This is my princess consort.. Who allowed you to hit her?”
