MTL - Denghuaxiao-Chapter 172 Injuried

Chapter 172 Injured

In the long forest, a horn suddenly sounded.

When the sound of the horn reached the tent outside the hunting ground at the foot of the mountain, the expressions of the guards waiting outside changed.

Lu Zong was sitting in the tent and asked Lin Danqing: "What happened?"

Lin Danqing stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of Huangmaogang: "...not good."

 “Blow the trumpet…”

 She murmured: "It means there is an emergency in the hunting ground."

If it was as Lin Danqing said, within a moment of burning incense, a group of guards came down from the mountain and went straight to the camp of the Medical Officer's Hospital with nervous expressions. Lu Yan and Lin Danqing stood up and heard the leading guard talking to Chang Jin.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly encountered a tiger in the forest. The tiger has been killed and his Royal Highness is fine. However, the guards around him are injured. The doctor is asking for a medical officer to go up the mountain for diagnosis.”

Chang Jin was very anxious when he heard this. The prince did not dare to delay the matter, so he immediately ordered half of the medical officers to go up the mountain with the imperial guards. Ji Xun also went.

Since Lin Danqing and Lu Zhen were new medical officers, Chang Jin asked them to wait in the camp and could not send all the medical officers away at the same time.

 After Chang Jin left, Lu Zhuo asked Lin Danqing: "How can there be tigers in the mountains?"

Before Xia Miao in Huangmaogang, there will be a squad of guards to search the mountain and drive away lions, tigers and bears to ensure the safety of the mountain. After all, Xia Miao's military defense is now not as grand as when the late emperor was still alive.

Shengjing Xia Miao has not seen ligers and tigers for many years, and there are even very few leopards. How could it suddenly appear and almost hurt the prince?

Lin Danqing shook his head, looking a little worried: "I don't know."

Now the two factions in the DPRK and China are at odds with each other. The prince encountered this accident while hunting, but the third prince was also present...

While he was silent, the tent curtain was raised from outside, and two more guards hurried over and said: "Master Zhongcheng, the censor, fell from his horse and cannot leave. Please ask two medical officers to go into the mountain for emergency treatment."

Mr. Zhongcheng, the censor, is now in his mid-forties. At this age, his legs and feet are prone to fractures, and a fall would be serious. Among the remaining new medical officers, only Lu Zhuo and Lin Dan had the best results in the youth examination. After hearing the news, they didn't say much and immediately started packing the medical box.

Lin Danqing put a roll of gold-creating medicine into the medical box, frowned and said to himself: "Strange, it's only the middle of the day, why have so many accidents happened to Xia Miao this year?"

Lu Zhen's heart moved and he looked towards the mountain forest. He quickly looked back and said to Lin Danqing, "Let's go."

 …

 The forest is filled with dust.

The Longwu Guard Imperial Army galloped past on horseback. As the silver sword light flashed, the figures lurking in the darkness rolled down one after another. The next moment, Xiao Zhufeng quickly took action. Cold light passed by, and the throat of the man in black moved, and the corners of his lips softened. A trace of dirty blood slowly overflowed and he fell to the ground.

 “Commander of the palace!” the guard shouted: “He is a dead soldier!”

Those who take poison so decisively will definitely be killed.

Pei Yunying pulled the reins and turned the horse's head: "Protect His Highness, I will chase him."

　He rushed straight into the forest.

Yuan Yao was protected by the imperial guards and retreated. There were not many dead soldiers in this wave. Long Wuwei noticed it and fought with him. After the rain of arrows, he was already defeated. However, as soon as he was subdued, he immediately bit the poison in his teeth and committed suicide. In an instant No breath at all.

 There were corpses scattered all over the ground, some belonging to the Longwu Guards, and most of them belonging to the dead soldiers. Pei Yunying went after the last one. Yuan Yao was protected and fled to the flying spring outside the pine forest. He heard a low horn coming from the forest in the distance.

 horn?

The news of his assassination has not spread yet, so why are the trumpets blown?

The sound of rapid hoofbeats was heard again, and the black horse went away and came back. The young man on the horse reined in his horse and looked back. Yuan Yao looked at him hurriedly.

“How is it?” he asked anxiously, “Did you catch anyone alive?”

Pei Yunying shook his head: "He committed suicide."

Yuan Yao punched the stone and cursed in a low voice.

 The last living person is gone, which means that all witnesses are lost.

 Duan Xiaoyan checked the dead bodies one by one and returned to Pei Yunying: "Come back to the palace, Commander, there are ten dead soldiers in total, and they all committed suicide."

 There were only ten dead soldiers, which was not a large number.

 But how these dead soldiers bypassed the paddock and sneaked into this place is very intriguing.

It’s okay if the method is clever, but if it’s a traitor...

"I know who it is even if it's not alive." Yuan Yao sneered, "You can guess who Shengjing wants me to die the most."

These words were so explicit that the guards around him lowered their heads and said nothing, pretending not to hear.

 Yuan Yao and Yuan Zhen fought openly and secretly. In the past, they only fought in the court. Yuan Zhen is a sinister bird of prey, and Yuan Yao is arrogant. If Yuan Yao determines that Yuan Zhen is behind the assassination, he is afraid that the imperial city will be **** again after he returns.

 The surroundings were quiet, Xiao Zhufeng's eyes fell on the young man's left shoulder: "Do you want your injury to be taken care of now?"

Pei Yunying glanced sideways and said, "It's a minor injury. Let's talk about it after we get down the mountain."

When the rain of arrows rushed towards Yuan Yao, he pulled Yuan Yao to escape, and was almost shot from behind. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the arrow would have penetrated his heart by now.

 It was only shot in the shoulder, so the injury was not serious.

Pei Yunying dismounted from his horse, walked up to Yuan Yao, and said, "Your Highness, something happened during the hunt. I'm afraid there are other ambushes in the forest. It's better to stop the hunt and go down the mountain to make a decision."

Yuan Yao’s expression changed several times.

After experiencing the fight just now, how could he still be in the mood to continue hunting? He wished he could leave now. He no longer had the energy to rush wildly before, so he just said a faint word and glanced at Pei Yunying: "Just do as Pei Dianshuai said."

"yes."

Pei Yunying turned around and ordered the guards behind him: "Take away the bodies of these dead soldiers." Then he climbed on the saddle and mounted his horse.

 “Get down the mountain!”

 …

 The horn echoed in the long valley.

 When it reached the depths of the dense forest, the lingering sound also became faint.

Qi Yutai reined in the reins and looked into the distance with confusion: "Is there any sound?"

The guard beside him listened attentively for a while, then his expression changed slightly: "It's the horn sound, Master, there is danger in the paddock!"

 “What’s the danger?”

 Qi Yutai disagreed.

　　Participating in Xia Miao every year, Qi Yutai heard the horn sound for the first time every time when the weather was calm. However, anything that can happen when hunting in the mountains is most likely due to someone being unlucky enough to encounter an uncommon wild beast.

Qi Yutai glanced at the heavy guards around him.

With so many guards, the two most skilled guards in Taishi Mansion are by his side, not to mention Capture the Tiger.   To capture the tiger…

 Qi Yutai looked forward.

After half a day of hunting, the gray dog ​​became more and more energetic. The gray fur on its body was almost stained red with blood, and its eyes glowed with cold light, waiting to kill the prey that appeared in front of it at any time.

On the horseback of the guard beside him, two large leather bags have been bundled tightly. Rabbits, wild badgers, foxes, deer... The blood of a tiger is like a wolf's blood. It is murderous and ferocious. When it encounters its prey, it bites it firmly until it drags the prey to its last breath.

 Qi Yutai stared at the fruits on the horse with satisfaction in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard faint voices coming from the front. When he looked forward, he was suddenly startled.

In the shade of the trees, several horses were parked, and people were coming and going around. However, there were two women in medical officer's robes among the crowd. One of them had a beautiful jade face, a slender figure, and a familiar face.

 Lu Zong?

Qi Yutai's heart moved and he called the guards beside him: "Why is she here?"

He hadn't asked anyone to lead Lu Zhu up the mountain yet, so he spared her for half a day so that he could sharpen her claws with the tiger, but he didn't expect to meet her here first.

The guard quietly retreated, and came back after a while, reporting in a low voice: "It was Master Zhongcheng who fell off his horse and asked Lu Zhuo to go up the mountain for medical treatment." He then looked at Qi Yutai tentatively: "Young Master wants to..."

Qi Yutai was silent, his eyes falling on the bloodstained leather bag on the horse. After a moment, he turned to look at the vague figure in the forest and touched his chin.

“After running for half a day, it’s almost time.”

"All right."

 He yawned, his eyes flashing.

 “Start hunting—”

 …

 Under the tree, Lu Yan was handing the white silk to Lin Danqing.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng is not very old, but because he doesn't move much on weekdays, he obviously hasn't known his destiny yet, but his body looks like he is in his sixties. He is more fragile than glass, and will crack in a mess at the slightest touch.

He frowned under the tree and showed pain. Sometimes he said his leg was broken, sometimes he said his head hurt. Lin Danqing bandaged up quickly and listened to his comforting words. His forehead was covered with sweat while he was busy.

After the bandage was finally finished, Yushi Zhongcheng asked Lin Danqing to check if there was any problem with his horse. He said that the horse's hoof slipped for no reason, and maybe the horse also suffered a fracture. It would inevitably make the same mistake again when he went down the mountain.

Lin Danqing took a breath and walked towards the horse resignedly. At this moment, someone hurriedly ran up from the dense forest in front of him. He was a guard and said to Lin Danqing and the two of them: "My lord, the doctor in the driving department, was bitten by a wild wolf just now." Right foot, which of the two medical officers is free, please go with your subordinates for consultation. "

Lin Danqing was holding up the handkerchief and walked up to Lao Ma. Hearing the words, he said to Lu Huan: "Go ahead and leave this to me."

 Staying here is just to listen to the censor Zhongcheng's unreasonable troubles, but there is no need for the two of them to be tortured together.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhuo put the medical box on his back, gave Lin Danqing a few instructions, got up and left with the guard.

 The mountain road is winding.

Lu Zong followed this man forward. The road seemed not very good and was quite bumpy and difficult to navigate. After walking for about a few miles, the woods on all sides gradually deepened, and there were weeds and rocks, but there was still no injured person.

Lu Zhen asked the guard leading the way: "Excuse me, how far is it from where the doctor of the driving department is?"

The guard said: "Hurry, right in front."

 Lu Zong frowned.

　　This person had already said this before burning the incense.

She looked around, and saw cliffs on all sides, which happened to surround the jungle here. Facing the cliff, a cluster of waterfalls rushed down, as loud as thunder.

 A trace of uneasiness emerged in her heart.

 Lu Zhuo stopped for a moment.

Seeing her stop, the guard turned around and asked curiously: "Why doesn't Dr. Lu leave?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhuo's heart gradually sank.

 He knew that his surname was Lu.

 But from the moment this person appeared to the time she followed him to this place, from the beginning to the end, she never said her name.

 A thick smell of blood and a sticky smell gradually floated in the air, which was just covered by the flying spring. At this time, it was like a finely woven silk net, slowly covering her.

Lu Zhen took two steps back, turned around suddenly, and ran behind him like crazy.

 A huge gray shadow jumped out from between the trees and knocked her to the ground.

 …

 The peaks are deep and deep.

There seemed to be faint sounds of human screams coming from the trees, accompanied by a few dog barks.

A medical officer wearing a medical officer's robe stopped and looked suspiciously in the direction of the sound: "What was that sound just now?"

Ji Xun put the last jar of medicine back into the box and tilted his head when he heard the words.

The sound of splashing water from the waterfall can be heard faintly among the trees.

A medical officer next to him said: "It's nothing, just the sound of the waterfall."

Ji Xun put away the medicine bottle and helped an injured Long Wuwei stand up.

The prince suddenly encountered a tiger in the forest. The incident occurred suddenly. The prince was unharmed, but several of the Long Wu guards around the prince were injured. A group of medical officers entered the mountain as usual and first treated the seriously injured Longwu Guards. The remaining lightly injured ones were bandaged by the medical officers in the tent at the foot of the mountain after they followed the prince down the mountain.

Yuan Zhen's face was already very ugly when something unexpected happened in the forest. He was protected by the guards in the middle, and his expression was uncertain. A group of medical officers did not dare to express their anger, for fear that the anger would burn them.

　　Why did a ferocious tiger suddenly appear in Huangmaogang, where the Forbidden Army had driven away ferocious beasts, and it happened to be bumped into by His Highness the Crown Prince...

Chang Jin coughed lightly and signaled the medical officers to get up. The prince had already gone to the front with the guards, leaving only a few medical officers and the seriously injured Long Wuwei behind.

 When this happened, the hunting naturally could not continue.

Everyone stood up and prepared to go down the mountain. The medical officer who spoke first scratched his head, still a little suspicious, and said to himself: "I really thought I heard someone calling for help just now..."

 After saying this, he saw that no one cared, so he had to pick up the medical kit and follow him.

Ji Xun raised his head and glanced in the direction the man was pointing.

 The dense forest is quiet, except for the sound of water.

 He listened carefully for a moment and made sure no one was calling, then he picked up the medical kit and walked away.
