BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122: See Deer in the Forest
Chapter 122
Bringing a fleeting sense of coolness, dispelling the remaining drowsiness in the body.
Qin Zhao opened her mouth without any sign: “Qi Yan Su Luo, I will win the Night Glowing Pearl for you.”
Qi Yan Su Luo was very close to Qin Zhao, every breath she could smell the fragrance emanating from Qin Zhao.
She did not respond to Qin Zhao\'s words, only asked: “What incense did you use? It smells really good.”
Qin Zhao said: “It is duskflower.”
Qi Yan Su Luo lowered her eyes and whispered to herself: “Duskflower...is ephemeral?”
Qin Zhao didn\'t hear clearly, “What did you say?”
“Nothing, there seems to be a deer ahead.”
Qi Yan Su Luo pointed to the southeast.
Qin Zhao looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a tame deer with antlers on its head, looking at them!
"Seeing a deer deep in the woods, we seem to have wandered far from the camp."
Qin Zhao drew an arrow and shot it at the tame deer!
The tame deer leapt forward nimbly to dodge the arrow.
Run deeper into the forest.
Qi Yan Su Luo asked: “You don\'t want to take its life, so you deliberately missed, right?”
“Yes, such a beautiful creature full of vitality should not die meaninglessly under my arrow.”
The two continued on their way, and suddenly heard rustling sounds coming towards them!
Followed by the sound of hooves!
In a moment, Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo were surrounded by more than a dozen people!
The person was Qin Cong, he and Zhao Yang were originally unrelated.
But Qin Lie detested Zhao Yang, and asked him to teach Zhao Yang a lesson at Fengming Mountain.
In the past, Qin Cong would not let Qin Lie order him around.
But Qin Lie is different now, he might inherit the throne!
If Qin Cong wanted a good ending after he took the throne, he could only choose to rely on him.
Qin Cong rode his horse forward, wearing a gold filigree hemmed russet dark floral robe, looking quite noble.
Unfortunately his neck was too short, the upper body looked like a turtle sticking out its head.
Making him and the dozen or so guards he brought with him, lacking in oppressiveness towards Qin Zhao and the two.
Qin Zhao calmly said: “Fifth brother is worried about the safety of the imperial sister, so came to escort?”
Qin Cong\'s mouth twitched, “The Ninth Princess knew it was unsafe, yet still ran into the woods.
Was it deliberately giving ill-intentioned people an opportunity?”
“That’s right, it was to give the Fifth Prince a chance to perform in front of the younger sister.”
Qin Cong smiled drily, “You meant well, and I do have this intention.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked up and slashed the hindquarters of the horse they were riding on!
The horse neighed and rushed forward!
Qin Cong watched Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo bouncing on horseback, and continued:
“Today I chased prey here and saw the Ninth Princess struggling with a horse that refused to walk and just wanted to eat grass.
The Ninth Princess lost her temper in a moment and slapped the horse\'s head a few times.
The horse suddenly went mad and galloped wildly, crashing into a tree.
The Ninth Princess fell off the horse and was seriously injured.
I caught up and took the Ninth Princess back.”
That would suffice as an explanation to the Father Emperor.
A guard walked up and asked, “Your Highness, shall we chase after them now?”
Qin Cong said, “Search again tomorrow morning, it would be best if Zhao Yang died in the mouth of a beast, sparing me from lying to Father Emperor.”
Qin Zhao was briefly panicked on horseback, but soon adjusted her state of mind.
She was quite skilled, and Qi Yan Su Luo also knew some martial arts, so both could jump off the horse.
Qin Zhao held the reins tightly and tried her best to control the direction the horse was running in.
The horse was timid, although it wasn\'t seriously injured, it ran more and more frightened, causing the situation to spiral further out of control!
Qin Zhao felt like her buttocks would be jolted into two halves if she didn\'t jump soon.
She was about to speak to tell Qi Yan Su Luo to jump off, but suddenly felt a tightening around her waist, and Qi Yan Su Luo hugged her and grabbed the reins!
Under Qi Yan Su Luo\'s miraculous maneuvering, the horse actually slowed to a stop!
Qin Zhao suddenly realized, Qi Yan Su Luo was a princess of the grasslands, how could she forget something so important?
Her words "This is the right position for you and me" were verified here.
Qin Zhao\'s not-too-tense heart completely relaxed. After the horse stopped,
Qi Yan Su Luo got off the horse first and reached out to help Qin Zhao get off.
Stepping on solid ground, Qin Zhao felt the sense of security coming back.
As other bodily sensations gradually returned, she realized her inner thighs hurt so much she could barely stand!
She swayed unsteadily, almost falling over. Qi Yan Su Luo supported her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Zhao said, “My legs hurt.”
“People not used to riding for long periods will get this.
It will be fine after resting for a few days.”
Qin Zhao: “It\'s not like that. You bit my legs last night and broke the skin.”
Qi Yan Su Luo: “......”
“Ahem.” Qi Yan Su Luo argued slyly, “Your skin is too tender. Biting it more will get it used to it, then it won\'t hurt.”
Qin Zhao was speechless, what kind of nonsense was she saying?
Qi Yan Su Luo helped Qin Zhao sit leaning against a tree trunk, looked at the darkening sky, and said,
“It’s not good to find our way in the night, we can only go back tomorrow.
You stay here and wait for me, I’ll go find some hay and branches to make a fire and keep warm.”
“Okay, you’re so thoughtful.”
Qi Yan Su Luo raised her eyebrows, turned and left.
Qin Zhao listened to the gurgling stream, and stared at the horse.
Its hindquarters still seemed to hurt, it kept using its tail to sweep the injured area.
Qin Zhao felt the horse was pitiful, and wanted to help it.
She looked around, trying to find medicinal herbs that could relieve pain.
Behind the horse, she happened to see a plant of Ligusticum chuanxiong!
Qin Zhao pushed herself up and slowly made her way to the Ligusticum chuanxiong, bent down and picked it.
When she looked up, she met a pair of fierce eyes!
A tiger over 4 meters long stared intently at her!
Qin Zhao\'s heart skipped a beat. She only had a dagger on her, and with her injured leg, she probably wasn\'t a match for the tiger now!
She slowly moved her hand towards the dagger, preparing to fight the tiger with all her might!
But the tiger looked away, and continued on its original path.
Qin Zhao reluctantly watched the tiger leave.
This tiger appeared at the wrong time.
If it had shown up in daylight, or after she had rested, it would have become her prey!
At this moment she could only let it go far away.
Qin Zhao brought her attention back, tore off the stem of the Ligusticum chuanxiong, and put it in her mouth to chew.
The bitter juice made her already not great mood even worse.
After chewing the Ligusticum chuanxiong, Qin Zhao spit it out and applied it to the horse\'s wound.
The horse seemed to know Qin Zhao was helping it. Even though it hurt a lot, it didn\'t make a sound.
After Qin Zhao finished applying, the horse gave a satisfied snort.
Qin Zhao backed away in disgust, afraid the horse\'s mucus would spray onto her.
The horse: "......"
Qin Zhao went to the creek to wash her hands clean.
She scooped up a handful of water, wanting to rinse her mouth.
When bowing her head to drink the water, a flash of inspiration suddenly stopped her actions!
She went back to the tree trunk.
Qi Yan Su Luo happened to be back too, carrying branches and dead leaves.
She sat down next to Qin Zhao and said, "We have firewood but no fire."
Her tone was full of helplessness.
Qin Zhao looked at the branches, pondered briefly, and asked, "Do you have a knife?"
