Chapter 175 Annual Hunting Day
In the sedan chair, Mo Xiaoru frowned and was still thinking about what Master Wuhong had just said. She was still immersed in her thoughts, but unexpectedly, suddenly, the sedan chair stopped. It seemed that the sedan chair man was frightened and made the sedan chair crooked. Then, he heard a shout from outside the sedan chair: "Leave the people in the sedan chair, you can go, or..." It seemed to be a leading man. He opened his mouth with a threat in his voice, and the expression on his face became a little fierce with the threat in his voice. However, because his face was covered with black cloth, the expression on his face was a little unclear.
The men in black were a little stunned when they saw such a beautiful woman coming out of the sedan chair. Why didn't they know that the man asked them to solve such a woman? With a beautiful face and such an indifferent temperament, they couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Who are you?" Shen Qingning said lightly, as if she hadn't heard what they had just said. Her face was still so faint that the men couldn't help looking at each other, and then looked at the man who had just opened his mouth. Is this woman really the target they are going to assassinate today?
"We..." One of the men stared straight at Shen Qingning, as if he was stunned by the woman in front of him. He was about to say something, but the leading man stared at him fiercely. So, he closed his mouth sadly. If he really said something just now, I'm afraid the boss will really kick him out. Just now, he didn't know why, looking at her time, he couldn't help answering her question. It's okay, it's really okay!
"Who we are, just don't worry about it." The leading man said rudely to Shen Qingling after staring at the man who would ruin their affairs if he didn't stop him. You just need to know that the task of our trip is to kill you. The man suddenly said in a bad tone.
Shen Qingning frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Mo Xiaoru came out.
"Who wants to assassinate us?" Mo Xiaoru's face was a little confused. She thought that she had never had a grudge against others, but who sent these people today to take their lives?
"It's not our turn to manage it. We are only responsible for completing this deal. As for the person behind the scenes, have you ever heard that the killer will tell the seller?" The man's tone revealed a strong dissatisfaction. This woman is really talky!
"Since you want to take our lives, at least let us know who hates us so much, and even buy the killers to take our lives." Mo Xiaoru frowned slightly. Is it possible that, as Master Wuhong said, there was a disaster in front of him?
"What are you talk about?" The leading man was finally asked impatiently, and he made a color to his accomplice: "Go."
When those people saw their boss's look like this, they were surprised that they did not have the same tacit understanding as in the past. They tacitly saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. Do they really want to take the life of the woman in front of them? How can they have the heart to do such a woman? However, even if they can't do it, since they have taken over this task, they naturally have to complete it without hesitation.
"Isn't it yet?" The leading man raised his eyebrows and said angrily. Don't these men listen to him, the boss?
"Yes, boss," those men finally answered with one voice when they saw their boss very angry. Even if there are some regrets in the bottom of their hearts that such a woman is about to die here, but they still haven't forgotten their task.
Those people approached Shen Qingning and Mo Xiaoru step by step, pulled out the silver sword and cut at them. Seeing this scene, Shen Qingning and Mo Xiaoru did not have much shock and fear. Both of them had no expression on their faces. They looked at the men who threatened their lives step by step, but did nothing.
"Mom, be careful," Shen Qingning raised her hand gently, and then several people saw something powder suddenly flying out of her sleeve. In just a moment, the people who had just threatened their lives fell down unwillingly with some unbelievable eyes.
"Ninger, let's go!" Mo Xiaoru glanced at the men who fell to the ground, and then reached out and took Shen Qingning's hand. Just now, she also thought that they might really be unable to escape today's disaster, but she didn't expect to be so lucky to escape. Fortunately, Ninger has nothing to do.
Shen Qingning nodded.
Lufu.
"What? What are you talking about?" Lu Xiner patted the table in front of her angrily, and the anger on her face was obvious. It's really useless. You can't do such a small thing. What else do you want those people to do? He was very angry, so Lu Xiner's face was also a shadow.
"Miss, I don't know how they failed," she really didn't expect it. Although the young lady asked her to find someone to assassinate Mrs. Shen at that time, she was indeed a little reluctant. However, she has always obeyed Miss Wei's orders. How can she be the opposite of Miss? And since she had the last lesson, she has never looked for that organization again. This time, she was looking for the people who were said to have never failed at any time, but she didn't expect that she had failed after all.
"You don't know? Why don't you know? Didn't you find those people?" Lu Xiner said angrily that this series of failures has failed twice. How can she be willing?
"Miss, who asked me to find these people, but I don't know that they will miss this time!" Joan said with some fear.
"Qionn, tell me the truth, don't you want her to lose her life, so you casually find a few people to pretend, so you arranged all this?" It seemed that Qiong'er had some unbelievable expressions on her face when she heard that she was looking for someone to take Mo Xiaoru's life.
"Miss, it's not like that. How can you think so? The maidservant will never have such an idea, and the maidservant will never do so. You have to believe the maidservant. How can the maidservant disobey your orders? Joan shook her head repeatedly. How could she do this? Even if she really had a little objection to the young lady's idea, she would never go against the young lady's will. Seeing the expression on Lu Xiner's face, she thought she would not go against it.
"Really? Joan, didn't you really lie to Miss Ben?" There was obvious disbelief on Lu Xiner's face. She continued, "Actually, Qiong'er, if you really do this, then confess to Miss Ben, then Miss Ben will be yours." Lu Xiner looked at Qiong'er, and the expression on her face seemed to say that as long as she was honest, nothing would happen.
"Miss, I really don't have a maidservant. You have to believe in me!" Qiong'er continued to shake her head, and then continued to say, "Miss, if you really don't believe in me, I can swear. I can really swear. Miss, you must believe in me. Looking at me being so loyal to you for so many years," Qiong'er seemed to be afraid that Lu Xiner would not believe in herself. Make a look like you want to swear.
"Okay, okay, Joan, since you have said so, the young lady will believe you for the time being," Lu Xiner waved her hand. Looking at Joan's appearance, she should not have been lying, so she should not have her own words. In this case, that's good. What's more, Joan is right. Joan has been by her side for so many years. How can she not understand her loyalty? It's just that she was really too angry just now, that's why she was like this.
"Miss, are you telling the truth?" Joan looked at Lu Xiner in surprise, and the expectation in her eyes was obvious.
"Well, of course it's true," Lu Xiner nodded.
On this day, the faint sunshine fell on the branches, which made people not see it very clearly.
Finally, it's the annual hunting conference again.
On this day, those officials and their daughter are dressed up, looking forward to being taken care of by the powerful men on the hunting ground. In this way, there is no need to worry about anything in this life. Among them, Si Shao and Nan Gong He in the capital have the most hearts of those women. If you can be like by one of them, the glory and wealth will be one step closer than them.
Therefore, how can they not take action on such a day? Or, more definitely, they have been looking forward to this day for a long time. This hunting conference is held once a year. If you miss this time this year, you can only wait for another year.
In fact, in Lingying Kingdom, the annual hunting day is passed down by ancestors. Originally, before the hunting day was confirmed, Lingying Kingdom hundreds of years ago was in war, and it was also such a war that almost made the people of Lingying Kingdom cry, which almost made the people lose confidence. However, later, with the intelligence and excellent leadership of its ancestors, Lingying Kingdom was able to be freed from the sad war.
And it was the day of victory in that war that the ancestors announced that the day of each year was the hunting day of Lingying Kingdom, and this day was passed down from generation to generation. In fact, the reason why the ancestors announced such an extraordinary day at the beginning is to let the people of Lingying Country understand how difficult it was for their ancestors to win this country. At the same time, it can also make them firmly remember this exciting day, this unforgettable day. This is a very memorable day.
And today, the day that was so remembered by the people hundreds of years ago naturally has its value. Therefore, even after so many years of wind and rain in Lingying Kingdom, the heart that remembers the difficulties of the ancestors to fight such a country has never given up.
On that day hundreds of years ago, the hunting day meant to celebrate all over the world. Therefore, whether it was the children of the officials or the ordinary people, they vented their hatred for the war that almost made them lose their confidence on that day, and prayed that Lingying Kingdom could last forever in the future. Calm down and show your excitement about the war that has disturbed them for many days on that day. Therefore, on that day, people went crazy all night, just for the end of the war, which heralded that their new life was finally about to begin. How can we not make them happy?
And after the transmission of that generation, such a relationship has never been broken. Even at the most difficult moment for the people of Lingying Kingdom, although they have had hatred and anger, in the end, they have not forgotten the lessons of their ancestors. Since they know that they are a part of Lingying Kingdom, they should take this responsibility well. Because this is the responsibility of the people of Lingying.
This day of every year is always the most exciting day for the people of Lingying. Although it has been passed down from generation to generation, now the people can no longer celebrate the annual hunting day with the children of those officials. However, among the people, they still have their own way to celebrate this rare hunting day of the year. In the hearts of the people, the ancestors exist in their hearts like gods. Therefore, they have absolute respect for their ancestors, just as they absolutely believe in the gods in their hearts.
As the emperor, Nangong He will definitely be present. No matter how unwilling he is, he still has no choice but to do it. If it's just a simple hunting day, it's okay, and he won't be so disgusted. However, today's hunting day has long changed. Nangong He glanced aside. When he saw a faint smile on Liu's lips, he couldn't help but have another headache! His mother, on the day of hunting every year, will never let go of such a good opportunity. Yes, on such a good day, all the officials will be present. She can choose some women to go to the palace for Herr. However, in the days of previous years, He Er always found all kinds of reasons to make her give up this idea.
And today, Herr's promise to herself that day was still in her ears, so she was naturally smiling and looking forward to today's hunting.
Nangong He sighed deeply in the bottom of his heart. Today, it seems that he can't avoid it anyway. If it was in previous years, he could refuse for all kinds of reasons, and this year, he knew that he could not refuse his mother's 'good intentions' anyway.
There are a lot of people gathered on the hunting ground. At a glance, people can't help but be amazed. Even the most lively temple fair in Lingying Kingdom, it is not as lively as it is today! Such a scene is always surprising.
Those women in gorgeous clothes all show their most beautiful side, so that they stand out among this group of women. Only in this way can they have the opportunity to get close to the man they want to get close to most! Therefore, for their own wishes, they basically racked their brains to figure out how to show their best side in this hunting party. Moreover, they heard that the Empress Dowager will also come today. It seems that they want to choose a few concubines for the emperor! If this is really the case, it will be even better. They can also behave better in front of the Empress Dowager and then be favored by the Empress Dowager, then they can enter the palace in the future. They can't ask for such wealth no matter how much they ask for it.
"Participate in the Empress Dowager, participate in the emperor," when the people gathered in twos and threes saw the figures of Liu and Nan Gonghe, they knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!" Liu nodded gently.
"Today, it's still the same as in previous years. If anyone wins, I still have a lot of rewards," Nangong He said softly.
"Yes," all the people below answered with one voice.
On the hunting ground, you can see the outstanding posture of those men, riding on horseback and running. Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, he shot at the target he was looking at.
"Mo Wang, do you see that one over there?" A man drove a horse to Nangong Mo's side and looked at Nangong Mo proudly. That was his goal just now. As he spoke, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot at the target. However, he didn't know whether he was not good at shooting or too proud. The target easily escaped from his hand and watched it disappear at the end of the forest. The man with a proud face just now looked a little ugly at this moment. He glanced at Nangong Mo, but found that there was no Nangong Mo around him for a long time. He didn't even know when he left.
He patted the horse with some angrily to vent the anger in his heart. However, the anger in his heart had not been vented, but the horse ran faster and almost threw him out of his horse. The anger in his heart was not vented, but he couldn't do this anymore.
"Mo, do you still want to win the first place today?" Du Yiwen rode to Nangong Mo's side and asked with a smile on his eyebrows. On the hunting days of previous years, Nangong Mo was basically the first. It's just that except for that time, Mo didn't come. Which other time, he is not the first? In fact, it should be the same. After all, Nangong Mo's shooting ability is obvious to all. Therefore, it is natural for him to take the first place.
"Where," Nangong Mo had a faint smile on the corners of his lips. He glanced at the other three men beside him, and a deep meaning flashed through his eyes.
