Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 132 Tiger in the Mountain

For five days, nothing happened.

On the sixth day of the autumn hunt, the emperor had lost his energy and no longer summoned his ministers from time to time. Pei Xu took Gu Jiaorong out of the tent.

Pei Xu knew that many people were secretly watching them, but they couldn't do that and didn't even dare to leave the tent.

Moreover, if they don't go out, how will the other party have the opportunity to take action?

Gu Jiaorong and Pei Xu had already discussed it and decided that instead of being so passive, it would be better for them to take this step first.

"Your Highness, I haven't ridden a horse yet. Chu Fenghua said I can ride a horse. Please let me experience it once."

Gu Jiaorong looked at him with sparkling eyes, and after entering the dense forest, she also became lively.

Pei Xu naturally couldn't bear to refuse her request, but he also felt uneasy asking her to ride alone, so he thought for a moment and said, "You can ride, but I have to lead you."

"That's okay too."

Gu Jiaorong nodded. She didn't know how to ride anyway, but she just wanted to experience it. With Pei Xu leading her, she felt more secure.

Seeing that she nodded, Pei Xu carried her onto the horse's back and then climbed onto the horse himself.

Pei Xu did not ride fast, but took her forward slowly. Chu Fenghua, Shaoyao and a group of servants followed closely behind them, and there were guards on both sides.

"The scenery here is beautiful, with natural beauty and fresh air. No wonder it became a royal hunting ground."

Gu Jiaorong leaned against Pei Xu somewhat relaxedly, her tone leisurely.

The breeze blowing gently past her ears seemed to agree with her words.

"However, there are so many birds of prey that His Majesty rarely comes here in previous years. I never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually clean up this hunting ground so cleanly. I haven't seen any tigers or wolves while hunting these past few days."

There was something else behind Pei Xu's words, and Gu Jiaorong understood it clearly.

He suspected that there were birds of prey here, not because there were no birds of prey, but because they had not been released and were probably kept to deal with him.

Today is a good opportunity, but I don’t know whether the prince will take action.

"I believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has put a lot of thought into this. After all, the Emperor is here, and if something goes wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a hard time explaining it."

Gu Jiaorong curled her eyes and spoke casually.

Then, she turned her head slightly and whispered softly into Pei Xu's ear.

"Your Highness, guess whoever is hiding behind us has already spread the news."

Gu Jiaorong had a keen sense. Ever since she left the tent, she knew that someone was staring at them like a poisonous snake, which made her feel unpleasant for no reason.

Pei Xu held the reins with one hand and held her slender jade fingers with the other. He bit her ear and laughed softly, "Of course it has been spread a long time ago. We are about to fall into a trap. Is Rong'er scary?"

They still looked affectionate, as if they were unaware of the crisis.

But they knew, and the servants around them also knew, that they could not let their guard down easily at this time.

Even though they are only at the edge and have not gone deep into the jungle, the depths of the jungle are the best place to take action.

Therefore, they would certainly try every possible means to drive them into the dense forest.

Gu Jiaorong seemed relaxed, but she was already on guard.

Just at this moment, an arrow pierced through the clouds and flew straight towards Gu Jiaorong. She didn't need to think too much to know that this man really wanted to kill her.

Pei Xu drew his sword and cut the arrow in two. Fu An immediately dismounted to investigate. But before he could get a closer look, countless more arrows were launched at him.

Fortunately, except for Gu Jiaorong, everyone else has the ability to protect themselves. Even Shaoyao knows some martial arts.

"The other side wants to force us into the forest."

Gu Jiaorong was protected by Pei Xu and suddenly spoke.

It would be difficult to kill them if we just rely on bows and arrows. Even though Gu Jiaorong is holding us back, Pei Xu's guards are not pushovers either.

If you want to achieve your goal, the beasts in the forest are your best helpers.

After all, everyone knows that wild beasts often appear in this hunting ground, and it is built on the mountain. It is possible that some of them were missed or came down from the mountain.

Pei Xu died at the claws of a wild beast, so no one needs to take responsibility.

Pei Xu also thought of this, but he was equipped with muskets and caltrop fireballs, so he was not afraid of the wild beasts. The enemy's rain of arrows continued, and if they continued such a hard battle, Shaoyao and Chu Fenghua would definitely not be able to hold on. He was also afraid of hurting Gu Jiaorong, so he took his subordinates into the forest first.

"Rong'er, hold me tight. If you get scared later, just close your eyes."

Pei Xu did not forget to comfort Gu Jiaorong, even though he knew that she was not as gentle as he thought. However, this kind of assassination was also the first time for Gu Jiaorong.

"Don't worry about me, Your Majesty. It's better to be careful."

Gu Jiaorong knew that this was not the time to act coquettishly, so she reminded Pei Xu.

The other party really just wanted to force them into the jungle, and after they entered the depths of the jungle, they stopped chasing them.

"Your Highness, be careful and don't fall into the enemy's trap. This forest is definitely full of traps."

Gu Jiaorong looked around carefully, a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, and it was just as they had guessed.

"I know."

Pei Xu responded in a low voice, and he tightened his arms around Gu Jiaorong.

Since he decided to enter the jungle, he had already prepared himself mentally. Moreover, even if he really encountered a ferocious beast, he could deal with it with his muskets and caltrop fireballs.

"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."

In Pei Xu's eyes, nothing is more important than Gu Jiaorong.

Even so, Pei Xu slowed down and carefully observed his surroundings to avoid causing casualties to his subordinates due to negligence.

Fu'an also brought a small group of people, walked in front of them, and surrounded them in the middle to better protect Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong was held in Pei Xu's arms, and with so many guards around her, she felt a little more at ease.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be able to get through this disaster safely.

"Your Majesty, there's movement."

Fuan had good hearing and soon realized that something was approaching them.

Pei Xu naturally heard it as well. His expression was calm and serious, no longer as indifferent as before.

"Be careful, don't forget the weapons we brought."

Pei Xu didn't mind using it in advance, even if there was a risk of exposure. After all, this could reduce many unnecessary casualties.

Although they only brought one musket, they brought a lot of caltrop fireballs.

"Don't be wary."

Gu Jiaorong only said four words. Although her hearing was poor, she was able to analyze the current situation based on her experience of reading novels.

I'm afraid that some ferocious beasts really came down the mountain or were released.

"Yes."

Fuan responded and grasped the hilt of the knife slanted at his waist.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and soon, a huge monster came into Gu Jiaorong's sight.

“It’s actually a tiger.”

Gu Jiaorong murmured in silence. Even though she was mentally prepared, there was still a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's just a big bug, just kill it."

Pei Xu patted her hand and said casually, "I can peel off the skin and make a blanket for you."
