Jiaochu

Chapter 99 Chasing Beasts in Nanshan Paddock ([-])
Ye Lanchen thought of Ye Lingxi first. Worried that her little girl had sneaked into the woods for fun, she immediately ordered to find someone.The mud on the shoes was still very wet. Commander Wu judged that the man had not gone far and ordered the accompanying imperial troops to search within a five-mile radius.

When Yanfei saw the shoe, he also thought of Ye Lingxi. Yanjiang saw through his eldest nephew's thoughts at a glance. After reporting to Ye Lanchen, he called Yanfei and then Su Shi who was next to Yanfei. , Ye Xingye and Zhao Ce also said they were going, Yanjiang took two more people with him, Ye Lanchen added five more guards to Yanjiang, and a group of ten people went to search nearby.

Xiao Hei looked up at the direction Zhao Ce left, then lowered his head and sniffed the puddle. He seemed to be very interested in the puddle. He circled around the puddle and barked. Ye Lanchen was not at ease and asked people to go. After fishing in the puddle, a body was fished out.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, many ministers were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Shen Ning boldly stepped forward to take a look. Judging from the clothes the body was wearing, it should be a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to go back first." Prime Minister Zhou said.

Shen Ning said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. There are so many of us afraid of cheating."

Prime Minister Zhou: "."

Ye Lanchen looked at the corpse with a somewhat solemn expression. After asking someone to clean the mud on the corpse's face, they discovered that the deceased turned out to be Eunuch Wei.

Two months ago, Eunuch Wei was sent to the Nanshan paddock to raise horses, but now he is gone and his body is still hidden in such a remote place.

The original thrilling atmosphere was cast into a layer of suspense.

Suddenly, a minister exclaimed, and the horse he was riding suddenly fell to the ground. Then, another horse fell to the ground... Exclamations came one after another, and in a moment, more than a dozen horses fell to the ground.

The atmosphere became even more frightening, and the timid minister was so frightened that he almost drifted out of his mind.

Suddenly, a long whistle sounded in the forest, and the next moment there was rustling movement all around, as if something was flying towards this direction in groups, which made people's scalp numb.

"Father, be careful." Ye Lingjue quickly took action and shot down a group of black shadows that were swooping over. The black shadow fell to the ground. It turned out to be a crow.

The next moment, a large dark figure enveloped them, enveloping everyone like a black cloud. The strange cries of crows and panicked calls for help intertwined noisily.

Commander Wu swung his sword to chop left and right, and black figures kept falling at his feet. He found that these crows seemed to have been trained and knew the tactics of defeating them.

A large black shadow first circled into a ball to disturb everyone's sight, and then divided into small groups to widen the distance between them and attack them one by one. Those civil servants with no martial arts background were caught in the air by these crows and thrown to a place three meters away. One after another, like dumplings, they fell on the grass for a long time and could not recover. They screamed in pain, and some of them had several beards missing.Zhou Jing also almost tried dumplings once. Fortunately, Hu Yuhan grabbed his feet in time and pulled him off. However, he used too much force and was pulled directly to the ground. As soon as Zhou Jing raised his head, he was pushed into the grass by Hu Yuhan. , a crow leaned over and was killed by Hu Yuhan with a knife. Then, Hu Yuhan accidentally stepped on Zhou Jing's hand. This prime minister's son was really worse than a dumpling.

On the other side, when Yanjiang led people around the bushes, they found signs of breaking, as if someone had passed through them. After searching for a while, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

Ye Xingye said to go this way, and Zhao Ce said to go that way. The two of them couldn't argue. Yanjiang only looked at the traces of vegetation on the roadside and made a judgment, choosing the path on the left. Zhao Ce proudly pointed at Ye Xingye. Raising his eyebrows, Ye Xingye asked Yanjiang unconvincedly why he chose this side. Yanjiang raised his hand in a silencing gesture with a smile on his face, and both of them fell silent.

Ye Xingye suddenly discovered that Yan Fei's third uncle could be quite scary sometimes.

After walking forward for a while, Yanjiang noticed a trace of clothing peeking out from the grass. He dismounted and walked over, pushing aside the grass. It turned out to be his nephew.

Yanheng was lying in the grass and fell asleep, with a shoe missing on his foot.

Yanjiang first opened his nephew's eyelids and took a look. Then he took the water bag placed on the saddle and flicked a few drops of water on his face. Seeing that the nephew was still awake, he pinched the nephew again. .

When Yan Heng opened his eyes and saw Yan Jiang's face, he shouted "Uncle San?" in confusion, and the next moment Yan Jiang grabbed his ear.

"Who told you to come here? Do you still dare to run around?"

Yan Heng cried out in pain and shook his head, but Yan Fei lifted him up onto the horse by his ears.Ye Xingye and Zhao Ce both looked a little hurt and subconsciously wanted to touch their ears.Yan Fei's expression remained unchanged, as if he was used to this. Su Shi gently asked Yan Heng why he was sleeping in the grass. Yan Heng replied that he chased a big colorful rooster there and didn't know who was beating it with something on the tree. After touching him, he fell asleep.

Hearing Yan Heng's words, Ye Xingye's first reaction was that there was an assassin in the forest, and he couldn't help but become nervous. Yan Jiang half-joked that it was a monkey on the tree. Zhao Ce believed it to be true, and looked around to see if there was a monkey on the tree. Suddenly, he His eyes widened in surprise, he raised his hand and pointed in the right direction: "What do you think that is?"

A large group of crows rushed over everyone's heads, like a large dark cloud.

Yan Jiang's expression tightened, and the next moment a flock of crows rushed over. Ye Xingye and Zhao Ce were so frightened that they and their horses fell to the ground. The next moment, the horses ridden by Yan Fei and Su Shi also staggered and fell to the ground. Crowds of people swarmed up. Yan Fei made a decisive decision and pushed Su Shi down on the grass. He immediately drew out his dagger and killed the crowd of crows that came up.

A few crows seemed to have a special liking for Ye Xingye's hair and kept pecking at his head. The pain made Ye Xingye roll over with his head in his arms. Zhao Ce was not much better. His shoes were all snatched away by the crows. What was even more unfortunate was that, The longevity lock he had worn around his neck since he was a child was also targeted by crows. One man and one crow started a fierce competition. Soon, several more crows flew over to help. When Zhao Ce was about to be unable to resist, a whooshing sound The black shadow rushed over and bit the crow that was fighting for the longevity lock. When Zhao Ce saw that it was Xiao Hei, he was so happy that he almost hugged the dog and gave it a kiss. Before he was happy for a second, he was lifted onto the horse by a hand. , Yan Fei slapped the horse's butt, and the sweaty horse rushed out like lightning. Zhao Ce was so jolted that he almost fell down, and regardless of losing face, he opened his arms and hugged Ye Xingye, who was sitting in front of him, tightly. Ye Xingye hugged Yan Heng who was sitting in front of him again. The three of them screamed and were quickly taken out of the sight of Yan Jiang and others by the sweaty horse. Xiao Hei also ran away.

As a result, Crow Crow also rushed over, which gave Yan Jiang a headache. He originally wanted the three of them to break out of the encirclement first, but unexpectedly, they became bait instead.
