Rebirth of Weak - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Hunting banquet




In a blink of an eye, the north wind is getting stronger, and the day of winter hunting is approaching.

The emperor called Father Gu to the study after the incident.

Grandpa Gu saluted the emperor, and then waited silently for the emperor's instruction.

The emperor smiled and said, "I have something I want you to do."

Father Gu bowed and said, "The slave and maidservant will die."

The emperor said lightly: "It's not time to die. It's this winter hunt. You can follow the three princes."

Grandpa Gu was expressionless at first, but then he said: "The slave and maid obeyed the order." But he didn't immediately retreat, as if he was waiting for the emperor's further explanation.

The emperor knocked his knuckles on the handle of the chair a few times and waved his hand: "Go down, do your work. If something goes wrong..."

Father Gu bowed and said, "The crime of slaves and maids deserves ten thousand deaths."

The emperor laughed and said, "Why do you always die?" With another wave of his hand, Grandpa Gu retreated silently.

That night, the prince got the news and frowned at a house of officials and confidants: "How did the emperor give Father Gu to the third child?"

An staff member said: "Is the emperor aware of the prince's plan?"

Another staff member hurriedly said: "This matter is very confidential, and the emperor must not know it."

One person said: "Not necessarily, but I know, the emperor didn't say anything, is it just acquiescence?"

Another humane said: "The emperor will not give Grandpa Gu, who is highly skilled in martial arts, to the third prince. Is this a warning to your highness"

The prince pondered: "Maybe, the emperor wants to get rid of Duke Gu by this."

One of his palms said: "Yes! A eunuch, no matter how high his martial arts, how can he resist the combined attack of so many people, besides, those people still have the Yu Poison Needle! Maybe the emperor just wants to use His Highness Killed him by his hand."

Another person lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness, you must be careful about Xu Chundao. Someone heard him talk privately that His Highness was not generous and acted ruthlessly for fear of causing trouble."

The prince frowned and asked: "Does this person know what we are doing this time?"

Everyone shook their heads: "He took refuge only after his Royal Highness canonized the prince. We are cautious. He has not been involved in many things."

The prince laughed: "I didn't even intervene and said I was not forgiving and acted harshly. What did he mean?"

One person whispered: "He thinks that the death of Concubine Chen must be related to His Royal Highness. The Queen's marriage for the three princes is also the meaning of His Royal Highness."

The prince shot the case and said: "Asshole thing! I haven't figured out anything, just talk nonsense here!"

Everyone quickly persuade: "His Royal Highness, calm down!" "This person doesn't know the heights of the sky..." "Quiet a word..." "Don't be serious..."

The prince inhaled, calmed down, and asked, "Is he going to winter hunting this time?"

One person answered: "Should be there."

The prince sneered: "That day, let him be by my side!"

Someone quickly agreed. Another said: "I heard that the fourth prince will also go to Winter Hunt this time..."

The prince laughed: "Why did that **** go there?"

Immediately someone smiled and said: "Naturally, he is going to see the excitement. He always goes out to play chess every day, and he probably wants to go out of town now."

The prince exhaled from the nose: "It doesn't matter how you look at it, don't worry about him, those things are ready and checked repeatedly."

One person nodded and said: "Exactly, at the beginning of the banquet that day, the prince and the third prince were seated as the chief, and the fourth princess would call the second daughter of Zhenbeihou to sit together. At that time, the only **** who knew martial arts was next to the third prince. , There are about forty guards scattered around His Royal Highness, who will act on the meeting machine. The guards in the other palaces will not be at the banquet. The more than 30 people will pretend to be villagers who help carry the prey and send the prey to the prince for the prince to see. …"

The prince frowned: "Why not be among the guests"

Someone explained: "The guests who can enter the banquet are all people with a face and a face. They have to go through the Imperial Forest Army's pass to verify their identity before they can enter. These people of the rivers and lakes are swordsmen who lick blood with the tip of a knife. They cannot look like those family members. You can only pretend to be servants. If you are at the table, you must have a family or a powerful family as a cover, otherwise there is a fear that someone in the Imperial Forest Army will study it. If you entrust a family, you will easily leave traces..."

The prince waved his hand impatiently: "As a villager, I am not afraid of being eye-catching. Will I be chased afterwards to find out how they brought weapons in"

The staff explained: "The winter hunting place spans four or five villages. Villagers from all over the world will come to help for small profits, such as selling vegetables and rations. There are not many guards in each province, and they are also sufficient. It’s easy to disguise your identity. It’s very easy to disguise your identity. Afterwards, there is no way to track down. They have to be searched when they pass the Imperial Forest Army. The weapons will be hidden in the bodies of the hunted beasts. Those sergeants should not destroy the body of the beast to save its fur."

The prince nodded slowly: "Then I will be fine as long as I call them to the table when the time comes."

The staff said: "Exactly. When we get there, we will make those people familiar with the appearance of the third prince and the second Miss Shen in the Zhenbeihoufu. They will not miss these two people."

The prince said: "I also need to add that much of what you said and that father-in-law Gu and you just now, of course, let them not give up on the things! They should know who is the first person to do it! Don't just let the time come. Kill a guy with the surname Gu and Xu, everyone else is fine!"

Everyone is busy Nuno. The prince did not know that in the previous life, because of the resistance of Gu Gonggong, he was ten, and finally took his life. Adding that Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo came in time, the result really became what he said-only Gu Gonggong and Xu Chundao, the civil servant beside him, was killed, and the third prince was really fine. Of course, that time, the prince only wanted to kill the third prince, and this time, he also brought Shen Wen with him.

Two days before departure, Su Wanniang arrived in Shen Xiang's courtyard.

Chunlu smiled and said, "Sister Wanniang is here." Although Su Wanniang's "house name" is Xia Wan, Shen Wen insisted on calling her "Sister Wanniang", and several people close to them followed suit.

Su Wanniang also laughed: "I have to ask Miss a few moves. I haven't practiced it for a long time, and I forgot it!"

Chunlu covered her mouth: "Is it a bit late at this time, let's set off the day after tomorrow, right?"

Su Wanniang sighed: "Isn't she busy a while ago? Our lady doesn't care about anything."

Chunlu drew the curtains for Su Wanniang and said, "Miss will wipe those swords and things, and the others will be ignored."

Shen Xiang inside was really playing with one of her swords. He raised his head and smiled and said, "Speaking ill of me so blatantly! You guys are really bold enough."

Chun Lu smiled: "This is a good thing, saying that you and the second lady are sisters."

Shen Xiang smiled and greeted Su Wanniang in, and said to Chunlu: "You know that you are stubborn, don't hurry up and get someone to pour tea." This is what she meant to leave, Chunlu understood, put down the curtain and went outside to instruct Xiao The maid went.

Su Wanniang and Shen Xiang sat at the table together, and said in a very low voice: "This winter hunting, something will happen."

Shen Xiang just sat down and stood up abruptly: "Why are you talking now! We're going to leave, let's not go anymore..."

Su Wanniang gently pulled her, motioned her to sit down, and then whispered: "Of course we must go, and we only need..." She whispered in Shen Xiang's ear for a while.

Shen Xiang blushed and nodded.

Su Wanniang went on to say: "If those people come, they are definitely here to deal with the third prince. You have to tell the second and third princes, if the prince and the third prince are together, naturally you must protect the two people. If the prince and the third prince are separated Now, at that time, we must not protect the third prince, but to protect the prince. Moreover, try not to kill the assassins in front of them, but to stay alive."

Shen Xiang nodded again and said: "I understand!" She sneered: "Since he arranged such a thing, he should stay alive and let others find out that he can be worthy of him."

Su Wanniang said again: "I will be with the second lady, no matter what happens, you don't have to come to the second lady."

Shen Xiang said with some worry: "Are you successful? You haven't practiced martial arts for a long time."

Su Wanniang said: "This time the prince has to deal with it, it must be the third prince, and the second lady should be fine." That's strange! It's just that she doesn't want you to see what she did.

After two days, a team of horses and wagons began to go to the winter hunting spot in the capital. About ten carriages and ten horses from Zhenbeihoufu also set off.

Shen Jian led Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang on horseback, while Shen Wen was sitting in a blanket-covered car with a small stove, shaking his head with the bumps of the carriage as if not awake.

Su Wanniang, Xia Zi and Shen Wen were sitting in the same car.

The convoy walked for two days before reaching the hunting ground. On the hilly plain outside the bush forest, felt shed curtains have been tied up, and in some places there are brocades to enclose corridors or empty fields. Shen Jian first sent people to patrol around and found the felt shed of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and set a tent nearby.

Shen Jian took Shen Zhuo and the other males to set the curtain, Shen Xiang and the maids were all on the side to help, only Shen Wen was lying in the car, saying that he was uncomfortable, and he was too bumpy to vomit and couldn't move.

Su Wanniang went to help, leaving Xia Zi in the car to take care of Shen Wen.

Xia Zi added carbon to Shen Wen's hand stove, and asked Shen Wen with a smile: "Where do you want to go for a walk, miss these two days?"

Shen Wen said weakly, "I was so overwhelmed that I was about to fall apart. It's all a mother, but you and Sister Wanniang, persuade me to come here. I think I'm going to be sick. I'll stay in the tent for these two days. Now, I don’t want to go anywhere."

Xia Zi smiled and asked, "Miss made so many good clothes, which one should I wear today"

Shen Wen said in a puzzled way: "I don't see anyone, so why don't I put on my clothes and leave them alone? I'll go to meet someone someday, so I'll pick it up when the time comes."

Xia Zi was a little sad.

After a long time, it was said that the curtains were well supported, and the lady could get out of the car to rest. Shen Wen held Xia Zi's hand and got out of the car swayingly. There was a charming charm of Concubine Yang supporting her weak. Su Wanniang came over to help Shen Wen's other arm, and tried to lower her head to prevent herself from smiling. Shen Wen's light work can return to the palace, and he can use internal force to break the iron lock at the age of seven. Now it is not shy to pretend to be this way!

Shen Wen really did what he said. In the next two days, the horns rang out and the voices were noisy, but he couldn't get out of the account. He sat on the cot with several layers of bedding, and kept crying cold.

Ginger soup is always boiled on the small stove, in order to drank the eldest sons and elders who had returned from riding in the cold winter wind to get rid of the cold, but Shen Wen also cried and wanted to drink it. After drinking a bowl on the first day, my face turned red, and I stopped eating dinner, saying that my heart was very burning. I stopped drinking for the next two days and just continued to hold on to it.

On the third day, the last day of the hunt, Shen Wen, under Xia Zi's repeated persuasion, wore a full set of brocade jackets and cloaks with hats, and the two maids were helped by them, and they were sick. With a crooked look, he walked out of the curtain.

The winter was shining outside the account, and Shen Wen couldn't help but raise his head to face the sun, letting the warm light shine on his face-it made her bored these days! At night, because she was sharing the same account with Su Wanniang and Xia Zi, she couldn't go out, which really annoyed her to death.

While she was raising her head, Xia Zi by her side seemed to raise her hand unintentionally, knocking off the hat of her cloak, and Shen Wen's head was completely exposed to the sun.

Su Wanniang frowned and said: "What are you doing!"

Xia Zi rushed to accompany and carefully said: "I was not careful, but the young lady should also be basking in the sun."

A vacant lot was surrounded by coarse cloth outside the tent. Several guards of the Zhenbeihoufu were hunting with Shen Jian. Only two servants were left here, guarding the gate of the fence.

There are eyes in the gap between the coarse cloth, and a villager-like person is picking up branches and leaves outside the curtain to fill the firewood.

Shen Wen basked in the sun for a while, then went back to the tent, let Su Wanniang go out, and greeted Zhang Yunjin, who was near the tent.

Su Wanniang went out of the area of ​​the Hou Mansion in the north of the town, and arrived in the middle of a large area of ​​tents and curtains. She went to the tent surrounded by brocade in Pingyuan Hou's Mansion and asked if she could meet Miss Zhang's Sixth. Unsurprisingly, she was told that all the ladies had gone to watch the hunt. Su Wanniang asked for directions, and slowly continued to stroll.

On the gentle hillside, wind barriers and soft chairs are set up for the spectators, where they can sit and watch the men riding horses and hunting prey in the distance. The female guests wore veils and sat aside. The men are on the other side. There is also a barrier in the middle.

But Su Wanniang didn't want to go there, she needed to find the tent of the third prince. When she was thinking about how to inquire, she heard her steps in a mess. She raised her head hurriedly, and saw that the fourth prince helped Ding Nai waiter to look up into the distance, looking like she didn't see herself, and was walking towards her.

Su Wanniang lowered her head and stopped, letting her to one side, pursing her lips. Sure enough, the fourth prince staggered not far from her, and with the help of Ding's inner servant, he slowly fell to the ground.

Su Wanniang secretly sighed--Why do you have no other way except for diving, on the surface as if you had only discovered the situation, walked up a few steps, bowed and asked: "My son is okay," then lowered her voice and rebuked: "What are you doing here! Do you know if it's not safe here, your legs are not good, what should you do if you catch a cold!"

Someone from behind said: "What's wrong with that son?"

Su Wanniang hurriedly said: "What's the matter, don't walk around, you can't run fast, you have to hide, remember!"

The fourth prince didn't insert any words for a long time, but looked at Su Wanniang blankly with his mouth half-opened. Su Wanniang asked urgently: "Where is the third prince's account, don't use your fingers!"

The fourth prince finally found his own voice: "From then on, more than five hundred steps eastward, and then three hundred southward..."

The people behind have already arrived, Su Wanniang hurriedly saluted and said, "If there is nothing wrong, I will leave."

The fourth prince made a gesture to let her go. Su Wanniang left, and the others surrounded the fourth prince and helped Ding Naibu to help him up.

The fourth prince looked ashamed, as if embarrassed that he fell in public, thanked everyone, and walked away with the help of Ding Naibu.

In this winter hunting, he knew that all the children from Zhenbeihoufu would come, so he would naturally follow him too, and wanted to take the opportunity to see Su Wanniang. For two or three days, he was turning around with his lame leg, and never touched Su Wanniang. It was easy to see today, Su Wanniang scolded herself, but the last thing she asked was the position of the three princes. But looking at the direction she left, she didn't go there. Reminiscent of Su Wanniang's warning to herself, the four princes have already determined: this time there will be a match in Winter Hunt! The hidden chess player can do a trick. He was very excited and walked back to his drapery to be in a daze. For a while, he thought about Su Wanniang's words and felt hot and stretched in his heart. For a while, he thought about what the rest of the day would be like.

Walking away from the fourth prince, Su Wanniang no longer went to the tent of the third prince, and went straight back to see Shen Wen. She told Shen Wen that Zhang Yunjin had gone hunting on the hillside, and Xia Zi hurriedly said, "Then let's go too!"

Shen Wen shook his head lazily: "It's too cold, I feel very tired, don't go."

Xia Zi smiled and said, "Miss, going for a walk is good for your body."

Shen Wen asked: "I've been out for a trip now, isn't that enough?" These words seemed to have other meanings, Xia Zi was shocked and did not dare to speak any more. But looking at Shen Wen carefully, he still had a boring expression, and he was relieved again.

With an excuse, Xia Zi went out. Su Wanniang told Shen Wen about the location of the three princes' curtains.

That night, when everyone gathered for a meal, Shen Wen asked ignorantly: "Did my brothers and sisters catch prey, why didn't I see any big animals?"

Shen Jian smiled and said: "The small ones were brought back and made to eat. The large ones were piled up in the wild. The weather was cold and it was frozen hard. When the banquet tomorrow, the villagers will carry them to the table, and the prince will look over. Pick the top spot."

It is recorded by the villagers to the pre-historical book that the assassin was disguised as a villager and offered to hunt the prince. Take the blade from the hunt and make trouble in front of the table... Someone holds an iron tube, which can send a rain poison needle. The victim is paralyzed, and the poison is killed afterwards... The third prince of the head, the badly injured **** surnamed the valley to protect each other. Die...

Shen Wen nodded and sighed: "There is going to be a banquet." It's really the same as historical materials, great.

Shen Xiang said: "You haven't come out for a few days, so surely you won't miss the banquet."

Shen Wen yawned: "I can't sleep well these days, I'm so tired."

You don’t know how many times you are tired after hearing Shen Wen's words. Shen Xiang said with contempt: "You are lazy. You have to go to the banquet tomorrow. You can get a good night's sleep."

At night, when Shen Wen was about to go to bed, Su Wanniang "kindly" reminded: "I also brought the sleeping fragrant cakes that the lady took from the old lady, and the lady won't burn a little."

Shen Wen said hurriedly: "Then let go! This bed is so small and hard, I really can't sleep."

Su Wanniang broke a small piece of fragrant cake and placed it in the incense cage. I went to lie down too, and after a while, both Xia Zi and Su Wanniang in the tent were asleep. Shen Wen, who had already closed his breath a long time ago, got up quietly, took off the robe outside, exposed the black clothes he had worn inside, and walked out of the curtain.

The cold night was icy, but for Shen Wen, who had been hot for several days, he only felt cool. She walked through the shadows, and after a short while, she reached the tents of the third princes.

She didn't risk approaching, but grabbed a handful of sand outside and let it hit the satin surface as a fence like water. At night, it sounded like the usual sound of wind and sand. Only people with excellent martial arts. To notice the difference.

Shen Wen was not disappointed as expected. After a while, the side of the curtain was blowing like a breeze, and a dark shadow fell over the fence. Seeing his figure, it was Father Gu. Shen Wen took out a paper ball and slapped it softly. Father Gu stretched out his hand to take it, and Shen Wen turned around and ran. This time, Father Gu did not chase him.

Father Gu unwrapped the paper ball, inside it was four slanted words: "Tuanyu Poisonous Needle". Father Gu held the paper ball, returned to the tent, placed it on the charcoal basin, and watched the paper ball burn out with good eyes.

The next day, only those who were particularly keen on hunting went to the hills and woods again, and everyone else was preparing for the evening banquet.

Hundreds of thick felts were spread on a gentle **** next to the mountain, and wind screens were erected in some places, which seemed to be for the women's family members to sit down. Bonfires were set up sporadically in the middle to illuminate the entire site.

In front of the seats, two small tables and chairs were set up in the main seat. They were specially prepared for the prince and the third prince. The seat for the fourth prince was placed in the lower seat. Not far from the seat of the prince, there is a barrier, and there are tables and chairs for the two princesses.

Shen Wen and others woke up after noon, but Shen Xiang rushed into the tent and shook them up angrily!

Shen Xiang said loudly: "The banquet is all set up. The banquet is in the evening, not at night! The banquet opens when it's light, and it's gone when it's dark. You are still sleeping here! Are you planning to go!"

Xia Zi screamed and got busy preparing.

Shen Wen opened his eyes, yawned and said, "So sleepy!"

Shen Xiang said unhappily, "When are you still sleepy! You are taking the wrong medicine!"

Su Wanniang suddenly said: "Oh, I used some sleeping fragrant cakes last night..."

Shen Xiang said angrily: "Give it to me! Don't use it anymore, you will know what happened!"

Su Wanniang obediently gave a small packet of fragrant cakes to Shen Xiang, and whispered: "It's really amazing!"

Shen Wen shouted on the bed: "It's mine, I want to keep it..."

Shen Xiang ignored her at all, put the fragrant cake in his arms and said, "Look, I'm all dressed, hurry up!" Then he walked out with the curtain.

Shen Wen hummed and chose the most eye-catching bright green clothes, and Xia Zi was overjoyed. Su Wanniang also wore a new jersey that Xia Zi had seen. The outside was inconspicuous dark blue.

When the sun was getting thinner, the blankets were gradually filled with men and women in colorful clothes. The servants of each house brought cups, plates, chopsticks, and snacks to and fro. The fire was lit one by one, and the scene began to lively.

The sky is blue and purple, and the setting sun is blood red.

The prince smiled and walked into the venue, followed by a group of eunuchs, staff, and Donggong civilian officials. Behind him was the third prince with a lazy look, accompanied by an expressionless eunuch, limping and following the fourth prince from a distance.

They sat at the small table. The prince was naturally the chief, and the prince’s staff sat on a mat closest to the prince. The third prince sat not far from the prince, and the fourth prince took the first seat.

On the side table not far away, the four princesses with arrogant face walked in front, and the five princesses who looked like an angry bag walked behind and sat on the side table.

Everyone in front of them got up and saluted the prince in the singing and drinking of the eunuch. The scale was very grand.

The prince smiled with satisfaction and motioned for everyone to sit down. An **** came to pour wine for the prince, and then one after another on the banquet.

Bottles and lanterns jingle, just like musical instruments. Not long after, the musicians also sat behind and began to play.

The men from the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei were on a seat at the front. Shen Xiang, Shen Wen, and Zhang Yunjin, the girls, were on a felt mat far from the prince’s seat, surrounded by silk wind screens. .

Surrounded by the barrier, in the afterglow of the setting sun, several girls whispered and laughed among the maidservants who were drinking and serving food.

"I have never drunk alcohol before!"

"It's winter now, you can get warmer."

"This plate of venison is very tender, try it..."

Shen Wen just wanted to taste the water wine, Shen Xiang said to her sternly: "You are too young! Don't drink it!" Shen Wen aggrievedly put the glass down.

Zhang Yunjin smiled and said, "Is it okay to drink a little?"

Shen Xiang took the opportunity to complain: "Don't let her drink at all! You don't know, they used sleeping pancakes yesterday, and they didn't get up until noon after they slept. Drinking more, they won't fall asleep again for a while."

Zhang Yunjin laughed...

Everything was so relaxed and happy, but Shen Wen saw tension in the eyes that Xia Zi frequently looked out.

The fourth princess said to the palace people next to her: "Go and invite the second lady from Zhenbeihou. This princess hasn't seen her for a long time. Let's see how she is."

The palace man bent his knees and agreed, and asked the location of the female relatives of Zhenbei Hou, and went on a small walk. The fourth prince heard it, and sat up slightly, just as he would always do when watching people play chess in Guanyi Pavilion, focused and quiet.

The fifth princess frowned, her expression even more melancholy.

The palace man arrived in front of the women's seat of the Zhenbei Houfu and said: "The fourth princess asks the second lady of the Zhenbei Houfu to come for an interview."

It's really coming! Su Wanniang lowered her head to avoid showing a different color.

Shen Wen pouted: "I don't want to go, I want to play here with my sisters!"

The palace man shouted sharply: "Bold! How dare you not follow what the princess said?"

Shen Xiang showed obvious displeasure and coaxed Shen Wen and said, "I will accompany you."

Gong Ren said: "The four princesses did not come forward with Miss Xuan!"

But Shen Wen pulled Shen Xiang's hand and said, "Sister, follow me, otherwise I won't go!"

Shen Xiang pulled Shen Wen to get up, motioned Su Wanniang and Xia Zi to follow him, walked out of the curtain, and said to the palace man: "We will go with you."

The palace man looked at Shen Xiang, who was taller and stronger than the usual girl, and turned helplessly to lead the way, leading them to the table of the Fourth Princess.

Shen Xiang and Shen Wen saluted, and the fourth princess sneered and said: "It's pretty good, you seem to be grown up!"

Shen Wen looked up stupidly, looked at the fourth princess, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the fourth princess has also grown into an adult, a bit old..."

The fourth princess was about to violently violently depress, turned her head and said to the fifth princess who was sitting at a small table: "You get out of the way and give this second lady a seat!"

What an insult to give up the seat of the princess to others. But the fifth princess took the handkerchief and wiped her face, stood up obediently, and whispered to Shen Wen: "Sister, come and sit down."

Shen Wen hid behind Shen Xiang: "I don't dare to sit there, it's for the fifth princess sister..."

The fourth princess patted the corner of the table: "Sit down!" and said to the fifth princess: "You go to their table!" Let you taste the shame of sitting with the minister's daughter, and watch you join them again near!

The fifth princess really had tears in her eyes. Shen Xiang looked uncomfortable, and went up to pull the fifth princess: "Go! Go and go, our place will be fun!" She said to Su Wanniang and Xia Zi again: "Take good care of you. Miss!"

Su Wanniang and Xia Zi are busy answering. The fourth princess scolded: "I have no place for the maids, take them back!"

Shen Xiang said angrily: "Then you follow me." Su Wanniang hesitated, but still followed Shen Xiang with Xia Zi.

After walking some distance, Su Wanniang said, "I'll still look at the lady here. If there is anything, I can go over immediately."

Shen Xiang agreed, and then took the five princesses away. The third prince saw it from a distance, and got up halfway. The prince smiled and said: "That's the eldest lady in Zhenbeihou, right? I took the five princesses to the table to play. Don't worry, come and have a drink!"

The third prince smiled reluctantly, raised his cup, and squeezed his lips, but did not drink.

The prince cursed secretly, and then looked at the people in front of the table in the last light of the setting sun.

Shen Wen trembled and watched Shen Xiang hummingly pulling the fifth princess away from the two maids. The fourth princess looked at her contemptuously and scolded again: "Sit down! Why do you do such a stupid thing! How many times did I say it!"

Shen Wen tremblingly sat on the edge of the chair of the five princesses, and said with a crying voice: "I don't want to sit here, I want to go back and play with my sisters, babble..." sobbed.

Su Wanniang entered the clean room surrounded by the woman, turned her tan, exposed the light lotus lotus color inside, and waited for a long time before she walked out. No one noticed her.

The prince made a gesture, and some **** shouted: "Presenting the proceeds of the hunt, please look over the prince!"

At the edge of the field, a group of villagers came to the front seat carrying or carrying the big and small deer, deer, fox and other animals shot and killed these days.

They had just walked to the middle of the field, a long way from the seat of the prince, suddenly a woman screamed: "They are assassins! Assassins!"

Her voice was as clear as a bell, and it was so bright and far away that Shen Wen couldn't help but sigh: It's no wonder that Su Wanniang in the previous life has become an oiran who can sing and dance. This voice will be a singer in the next generation.

The four princes also heard who this was, and his body was tight for a while, and he didn't pant: the chess game is about to begin!

People are in chaos in the venue! Those who came to the banquet were all aristocrats of the family, and few warriors didn’t say anything. When they came to the banquet of the prince, whoever could bring a weapon and sound like an assassin must run away! The crowd scrambled and ran away from the villagers, leaving these people in the center of the field all at once, barely exposed to everyone's eyes.

The leading assassin had to shout: "Copy guys!" These people drew their swords from their prey and ran towards the table.

As soon as the "Assassin" shouted, the third prince stood up. At the same time, Shen Xiang, who had just sat firmly in the banquet, said to the fifth princess: "Hurry up and call your brother over! It's safe here!"

The fifth princess couldn't think about it, crying loudly: "Brother! Come on!"

The three princes heard his sister's voice all the way far away. After the mother's death, in the dangerous deep palace, their brother and sister depended on each other. The younger sister looks a lot like his mother, and he also deliberately imitated her mother's behavior, which made him want to protect this younger sister more and made up for his inability to keep his mother's guilt.

Without hesitation, he flew towards the Zhenbeihou women's seat on the edge of the field, and Mr. Gu followed behind. The assassins saw the main target escaping over there, so they had to chase him.

Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo suddenly jumped up when they heard the sound, shouting: "Protect the prince!" They ran to the prince's seat together, facing the chaotic field like a major enemy.

But most of those assassins didn't come here, only three people rushed over.

The dozens of guards behind the prince were a bit at a loss: these people are too few, and they can be killed by swarming them all. But they have been told not to do it before they kill...

If an assassin didn't come to assassinate the prince, it was as if he knew someone on the table near the prince and stabbed him with a sword. Shen Jian saw it, took a plate and flew over, and cut it to the assassin's head. The assassin fell to the ground, and was stopped by people next to him, and the civil official was spared. He looked pale, and looked at the assassin for a long time, and he couldn't say anything.

Another one saw that there were too many people in front of the prince, but he didn't even come forward. He turned around and chased those who were looking for the third prince.

The last assassin went straight to the princess's side seat and kicked the barrier. Shen Wen continued to tremble all over, crying and trying to run back, but was grabbed by the four princesses, and said viciously: "Don't want to run!" He pulled Shen Wen to his side, trying to push her out.

Shen Wen stepped back desperately, as if to stick to the fourth princess. The fourth princess squeezed Shen Wen's shoulders firmly, and faced her like a shield to the sword blade stabbed with cold light...

Although being pulled by Shen Jian and sitting with Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, Zhang Yunming did not protect the prince like they did when he heard the shouts. Instead, he pulled away and ran towards the women's seat of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

He arrived at the table almost at the same time as the three princes. The maids had already cried into a ball. Shen Xiang shouted to them: "You all want to avoid." While pulling the five princesses with one hand, Zhang Yunjin said, "Let's go. Avoid here!" After finishing speaking, before people could answer, he pulled two people and ran up the gentle slope.

It stands to reason that this tactic is correct. When you encounter an assassin, you should run to the outside. The third prince and Zhang Yunming have no objections, and immediately follow. But soon they discovered the problem. Many assassins jumped over the messy mats, rushed past the chaotic and fleeing people, and rushed toward them.

Someone in the field looked back and found this strange situation: there were only two or three assassins rushing to the prince, and they had not yet assassinated the prince! But there was a large group of assassins rushing to the Third Prince! This is too obvious!

The third prince said coldly: "They are here for me!"
