Chapter 97: The frightened horse loses control, and his life hangs on a thread

Ji Qingwu thought with his toes, and knew that this jackpot was not that easy to win.

Logically speaking, five grown men need to besiege a beast to have a chance of winning. These weak women hunt it. This is not the same as a sheep entering a tiger's den.

Princess Qingyun was still overconfident. Ji Qingwu said kindly: "Your Highness, the beast should be nearby, so it is better to be careful. Why don't we retreat temporarily? If Mr. Li finds out, he will definitely do something for us. You're worried."

She also specifically mentioned that person, hoping that Princess Qingyun would take care of her own safety.

When Princess Ke Qingyun heard Li Chengxun's name, her face became even more depressed: "Don't mention him to me, how can he care about me."

Did the two of them quarrel? Ji Qingwu did not expect that Li Chengxun would dare to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The girl in bright blue clothes, named Huo Shaofang, comes from a family of military commanders. She said confidently: "What does the princess want to do? When will it be your turn to teach me? If you are timid and scared, just stay aside. Go, I will clear the way for the princess."

Huo Shaofang was the first to get into the forest, and the others followed him into the depths of the forest to chase the prey.

Ji Qingwu knew that he couldn't dissuade them, and he had already informed them of the danger, so he just let them do whatever they wanted. The beast might go far away.

She got on her horse and walked back slowly.

But halfway through, she sighed, still feeling uneasy.

I heard Mrs. Qiao talk about why Princess Qingyun developed such an arrogant and unruly temperament. In addition to the reason why the Queen Mother loved her too much, the Emperor also overtly and covertly manipulated this sister.

If something really happened to Princess Qingyun, she is Emperor Wu Su’s sister after all.

Although one more thing is worse than one less thing, but one less thing is worse than no trouble at all.

Ji Qingwu suddenly thought of something. She could let the news out and ask for help.

She suddenly reined in her horse and stopped halfway, calling to the deserted vegetation: "Sanchuan, are you there? I have something important to ask you, can you show up?"
< br>She was answered by silence.

Ji Qingwu looked up at the tall branches above his head, and tried to call again: "Sanchuan?"

Suddenly, a person jumped down from the tree, he It was hidden among the leaves before, but there was no flaw at all.

Ji Qingwu asked in astonishment: "Why is it you?"

Looking closely, the man was not Sanchuan, but the younger Sihai.

Sihai said with a straight face: "Sanchuan has other things to do. He is not here. If you have any questions, just tell me the same thing."

Ji Qingwu nodded: "It's okay if you are here. Princess Qingyun has encountered a ferocious beast and may be in danger. Please find someone to come over. Keep an eye on her, or ask someone to persuade her to go back. "

It's okay if he's here. It's so embarrassing. Sihai said in a bad tone: "Miss Ji Wu, this matter is the result of Her Majesty's insistence. Why are you doing this? Control?”

He had seen everything that had just happened in secret.

Ji Qingwu said: "I don't want to take care of it, I just fulfill my responsibility to inform you."

Sihai knew very well who he wanted to protect and refused directly: "I was ordered to take care of you. I am not responsible for anyone else’s safety.”

Ji Qingwu really didn’t know what instructions the emperor had given him, so that he could ignore his sister’s life and death, and was a little speechless for a moment.

She frowned and said: "Is this someone else? Princess Qingyun is your Majesty's sister, and the matter is subject to authority. Since you were sent to protect me, will you listen to my orders? ”

"Furthermore, Princess Qingyun was injured or eaten by wild beasts during the hunt. When the news spreads, who in Beili will be disgraced?"

The whole world looked embarrassed, and Sanchuan was sent. He had to deal with other matters, but before leaving, he reiterated that an exception could be made for this Ji Wu girl.

After a moment, he disappeared.

Seeing Sihai obeying orders to move reinforcements, Ji Qingwu also felt relieved.

She rode for a walk and was not in a hurry to return to the camp. It would be nice to enjoy some fresh air. But not long after, Ji Qingwu heard the screams of women coming out of the forest, as well as the dangerous roars of beasts.

She twitched her lips, and it was really good but not bad.

The shouts became more and more shrill. Ji Qingwu raised his whip and turned the horse's head resignedly, and walked a certain distance in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, someone rushed out from the passage. It was Huo Shaofang in bright blue clothes. Among them, she was the best at riding and shooting.

But she was the only one who escaped.

Ji Qingwu asked: "Where is Princess Qingyun and the others?"

Huo Shaofang's hand holding the reins was shaking, and he said in panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness's horse was frightened, she is still inside, everyone is Scattered away."

Leaving Princess Qingyun alone? Ji Qingwu didn't know what to say.

She asked: "What kind of beast is it?"

If it is a large beast, she does not want to go there and die.

Huo Shaofang said: "I didn't see it clearly. As soon as the beast roared, we retreated, but His Highness's horse was frightened and couldn't control it. It ran wildly in all directions."

Ji Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief. This result is not bad. , the horse was frightened and ran away, it was better than being so frightened that it could not move and stayed in place, waiting for the beast to come and be bitten to pieces.

She asked: "Can you see which direction the princess's horse ran?"

"It seems, it seems to be over there." Huo Shaofang pointed in the direction.

Over there

Ji Qingwu had seen it when he was wandering back and forth before. It was a desolate cliff. Although it was surrounded by guardrails, a frightened horse could step over it at any time.

If you really run crazy and rush over, you can't waste this time.

Ji Qingwu clamped the horse's belly with both feet and galloped away, the whistling wind blowing across her cheeks.

The horse she was riding was an adult horse. It was faster than Princess Qingyun's pony, but it almost reached the edge of the hunting ground. Only when the shadow of the guardrail was vaguely visible did she catch up. Go up.

The maroon pony is still galloping.

Princess Qingyun's body had fallen close to the ground, and she was about to be thrown off the horse.

Her Highness the Princess had a lot of mud splashed on her face, and her bun was messy. She was trying to straighten her body, but the power of the horse was too great, and the direction of her running was swaying, making it difficult to move.

Ji Qingwu saw that the land ahead was wider, and his men controlled the horses hard, trying to keep the two horses running at par.

Princess Qingyun saw her coming from the corner of her eye, and said in horror: "Fifth cousin, help me."

She could hear the cousin's voice this time. It's true and sincere.

Ji Qingwu had a sullen face, hooked his left foot hard on the stirrup, turned his waist sideways, saw the right moment, grabbed Princess Qingyun's belt, and lifted her back onto the horse.

The horse was forced to slow down, breathing heavily from its nostrils, and was extremely irritable. It suddenly charged forward and then pulled away again.

Ji Qingwu was afraid that she would be dragged off the horse, so she could only let go first.

"Fifth cousin, ah ah! Save me!"

The bay red horse neighed, raised its front legs and was about to stand up, when Qingyun was about to be lifted up and thrown backwards. .

Ji Qingwu said in his heart that it was not good.

She made a prompt decision, loosened the reins in her hands, and flew onto the bay-red pony.
