Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

An hour later, the carriage arrived at Ningxiang Village.

On the way, Feng Qingluan asked Xie Jin about the situation and learned that the prince had entrusted the task of hunting down the red-branch monkey to Xie Yan.

Since the Crown Prince took over the post of Chief Director of the Dali Temple, Emperor Xia Ming established a separate deputy chief in order to gain experience in thanking banquets, and let the two work together to handle various cases.

Xie Yan and Li Gu chased the red-branched monkey into Yue Mountain. The red-branched monkey was fleeing towards Niufu Mountain.

Uncle Xu has the habit of hunting. Ge Ming doesn't stay in the yard every day when he lives here. Uncle Xu will occasionally take him into the mountains.

For example, today, Uncle Xu went to Niufu Mountain and took Ge Ming with him.

The people arranged by Xie Jin to protect Ge Ming in secret, after learning the news that the red-branched monkey was coming here, sent a message back to the capital to report to Xie Jin.

"How long has Uncle Xu been in the mountains?"

Aunt Xu didn't know about the red monkey. When she saw the two important people coming, she asked her husband:

"I went into the mountains after lunch and usually come back in the evening. Miss Feng, what happened?"

Seeing that they were coming in a hurry, Aunt Xu became a little nervous.

Feng Qingluan asked, "I have something to ask Ge Ming. Which direction did they go into the mountain?"

Aunt Xu said, "He went up from the path on the left side of the house. There are ferocious beasts in the deep mountains, so he wouldn't go very deep. He brought Xiao Ming with him, so he should just wander around the entrance of the valley."

Feng Qingluan said: "Thank you, Auntie."

Ge Ming was secretly placed here, and it was not appropriate to let too many people know about it. Feng Qingluan brought Xue Zimo with her this time, and Xie Jin only brought Jiang Qu.

Xie Jin was still injured, so he asked Jiang Qu to go into the mountains with them.

Feng Qingluan said: "Our mission is to find Uncle Xu and Ge Ming. If we encounter a red-branched monkey, we should capture it alive if possible. Don't let it scratch or bite you."

Xie Jin said: "In addition to these two points, we must also be careful of other people, Feng Qingluan, don't forget why the red mortar monkey escaped from the Hundred Flower Valley."

Feng Qingluan almost forgot what he mentioned.

Someone wanted to take the red-branched monkey away. Li Gu knew that the monkey was coming this way, and the person who wanted it might have tracked it down. She nodded and said:

"I see."

After entering the mountain, the three of them headed towards the valley entrance as Aunt Xu had instructed.

While they were looking for Uncle Xu and Ge Ming, the two men caught some prey in the mountains and were preparing to go back.

Ge Ming held two rabbits in his arms and exclaimed with joy:

"Uncle Xu was awesome today. He hunted pheasants, rabbits, and a little wild boar. Auntie can cook a lot of delicious food tonight."

Uncle Xu laughed and said, "Haha, I never encountered so many prey when I went into the mountains alone before. It was Xiao Ming who brought me good luck."

The two walked in the woods.

Suddenly, a sound came from the grass next to me, as if something was passing by quickly.

Uncle Xu stopped and told Ge Ming to be quiet.

He stared at the bushes in front of him on the right and saw a small red figure sitting not far away. When he got closer, he saw that it was a red monkey.

Uncle Xu's eyes lit up; he had never seen this kind of monkey before and wanted to get closer to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the red-mortise monkey heard the noise behind it, turned around, and without any warning, bared its teeth and pounced towards Uncle Xu in the face.

"what!"

Uncle Xu was startled. The red-mortar macaque stretched out its arms and suddenly scratched his face. Uncle Xu's hands were faster than his brain, and he raised his arms and crossed them in front of his face to protect it.

"Uncle Xu!"

Ge Ming was frightened and grabbed the rabbit in his hand and threw it at the red-branch monkey.

The red-necked monkey was frightened and fell to the ground, then quickly ran into the bushes and escaped.

"Uncle Xu, how are you?"

The claws of the red-eared macaque are sharp. After a few scratches, Uncle Xu's sleeves were torn and four or five bloody marks appeared on both arms.

Uncle Xu didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, just a minor injury, it will be fine after applying some medicine. That monkey was too fierce and violent."

His wound was still bleeding, Ge Ming was a little worried, so he pulled up his sleeve to wipe it for him.

"Uncle, let's go back quickly. Your wound hasn't stopped bleeding yet."

Uncle Xu took a look, wrapped it with his sleeves, and the two of them picked up the prey and went down the mountain.

"He's heading that way, chase him!"

Xie Yan, Li Gu and their men had been chasing the red-branched monkey. When they saw it rushing into the bushes over here, they chased after it from another direction.

"You go over there and surround them from both sides!"

"Two more people to the right."

"Be careful, don't let it run into the grass under your feet!"

"Archers, get ready. Once it jumps onto a tree, shoot. Don't kill it, just injure it!"

The guards divided the work and worked together, spreading the net and waiting to force the red-necked monkey into the net.

The red-necked macaque screamed and looked in horror at those who were trying to catch it.

Feng Qingluan came looking for someone. When she heard the cry of a monkey in the forest, she ran over and saw the guards led by Xie Yan had trapped the red-mortar monkey in the middle of an open space.

The first time Feng Qingluan saw the red-branched monkey, its fur was as red as fire and it looked stunning and unique.

Xie Yan also saw Feng Qingluan and was a little surprised. Why was she here?

Feng Qingluan glanced at the people present and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Uncle Xu and Ge Ming.

I guess those two people didn't encounter the red-branched monkey.

The red-mortise monkey was very dangerous, so since they had seen it, Feng Qingluan pointed left and right, and Xue Zimo and Jiang Qu surrounded the red-mortise monkey from the left and right.

When Xie Yan saw such a big man like him here, Feng Qingluan didn't even give him a glance. He felt choked up in his heart and made a gesture to take action, asking everyone to move closer to the red-mortar monkey.

The red-mortise monkey was frightened and squeaked. Seeing that there were few people on Feng Qingluan's side, it quickly rushed towards her.

It is very fast and smart. There is a slope on Feng Qingluan's side. As long as it gets into it, these people will not be able to catch it.

Feng Qingluan sensed its purpose, and when it turned to the side, she rushed towards it with the anesthetic needle prepared in her sleeve!

Xie Yan's pupils tightened, "Danger! Feng Qingluan, you are crazy!"

He subconsciously threw the sword in his hand towards the red monkey!

"Don't kill it!"

Seeing this, Li Gu quickly threw a hidden weapon at Xie Yan's sword.

"Keng!"

The sword was knocked to the ground.

Next to the sword, a red-mortar monkey also fell from the sky and hit the ground, making a strange "chi chi" cry and was caught in the rope net.

Xie Yan and Li Gu rushed to Feng Qingluan's side.

Li Gu saw the red monkey struggled twice and then stopped moving, and asked in surprise, "Did you kill it?"

Feng Qingluan said: "No, just anesthetize it temporarily."

Li Gu's nervous heart calmed down, "That's good, I don't have to worry about it hurting anyone when I take it away."

Xie Yan's face was not good. Feng Qingluan's rush towards the red monkey made his heart tighten. Seeing that she was talking to others without even looking at him, he said dissatisfiedly:

"What are you doing here? The red-eared macaque has bitten someone in Pingxi Village. The entire Pingxi Village has been blocked. It's very dangerous."

Feng Qingluan seemed to notice him and said, "I know, that's why I'm here."

The red-branched monkey was caught, so Uncle Xu and Ge Ming had nothing to worry about even if they were still hunting in the mountains. Feng Qingluan said goodbye and led their men away.

Xie Yan was blocked by her, this woman...

Still being rude to him as always.

Forget it, don't argue with her.

Seeing that he was staring at Feng Qingluan, with his facial expression constantly changing, Li Gu asked curiously:

"Your Highness Prince Chu, you seem to be very familiar with Miss Feng. Do you know each other?"
