Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 12: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (11)

On this side, Xiao Huai walked in shortly after Bai Yu left.

"Why is the emperor here? Why don't you continue practicing martial arts in the training grounds?" Sui Ning asked casually.

Xiao Huai took a sip of tea and said rather proudly, "Whether you practice or not, it won't make much difference to the results."

"Ok?"

Eunuch Fu, who was standing by, immediately understood the meaning and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Emperor is an excellent rider and archer. He has always won the championship in the royal hunting competitions since he was the Crown Prince."

Sui Ning was slightly surprised, "Is the Emperor so powerful?"

But in the original owner's memory, Xiao Huai's presence has always been very low, while Xiao Hechuan is very popular among the noble ladies in Kyoto.

Eunuch Fu continued, "At that time, many women in the capital admired and admired the emperor, but later... rumors spread, and the emperor only had the queen in his heart..."

gossip?

It must be something that Xiao Huai was inhumane about.

Sui Ning had a headache, thinking that the rumor must have spread from the original owner!

The man, who had secretly shown off, felt relaxed and at ease at the moment. "Ningning, Bai Yu just asked you if there's any new activity on King Cheng's side?"

Sui Ning nodded and handed the letter written by Xiao Hechuan to Xiao Huai.

After opening the envelope, Xiao Huai's face suddenly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.

His eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, filled with murderous intent. The air around him seemed to freeze, making people dare not breathe.

Sure enough, he knew that Xiao Hechuan didn't know what it meant to be law-abiding. He had just been released from house arrest and he was already trying to seduce Ningning again!

He won the championship with his chicken-like body?!

Is he worthy of giving the prize to Ning Ning?

Eunuch Fu rubbed the goose bumps on the back of his hands and thought to himself that it was a sin.

What was written in this letter? It actually made the emperor so angry.

"Xiao Hechuan is likely to tamper with this spring hunt. Your Majesty needs to think of a countermeasure in advance."

"Well, Ningning, don't worry, he won't have this chance."

In the end, Sui Ning was still worried, so she took out a sachet and gave it to Xiao Huai.

"This is a talisman given to me by a high monk from the Huguo Temple. I'm told it's very effective. This royal hunt is fraught with danger. Keep this item close to you. It might help you turn danger into safety."

Xiao Huai looked at the sachet in his hand and chuckled, "I think Ning Ning also gave one to Minister Jiang last time. Has the amulet in the hands of the monks in Huguo Temple been mass-produced?"

"The monk and I have a connection, so he gave me a few extra. If you don't want them, just return them to me."

Looking at the mischievous smile on Xiao Huai's face, Sui Ning knew very well that he was deliberately teasing her.

As he said this, he was about to take the sachet back.

But how could Xiao Huai really return it? He immediately put the sachet in his hand neatly into the lapel of his shirt.

"How can you take back a gift you've given?"

"I know Ningning is worried about my safety. I will keep the amulet safe. I will definitely come back safe and sound from this hunt and will never let Ningning become a widow."

Sui Ning was silent.

How could such inappropriate words come out of his mouth?

Afterwards, Xiao Huai said seriously, "Ningning, let me keep this letter. If it's seen by others in the palace, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact."

Sui Ning had no objection, so she just let him do as he pleased.

The all-seeing Eunuch Fu: ...

Is it the kind of storage that is put in the wastebasket?

------

Time flies, and soon it is the day of spring hunting.

The Spring Hunt was a large-scale royal hunt.

The people of the Xiao Dynasty were open-minded. Every time the royal hunting trip took place, the sons of nobles and some noble ladies from famous families would participate, while some noble ladies and children would wait in the tents.

Beside the royal tent, the Royal Guards were lined up in an orderly manner to guard the left and right, making it as solid as an iron fortress.

In order to facilitate the movement, everyone participating in the hunt today changed into riding clothes, talked and greeted each other.

When Xiao Huai and Sui Ning slowly appeared in front of everyone on horseback, the sound gradually died down.

Sui Ning, dressed in a silver-white suit, with his black hair tied up high and a longbow in his hand, looks heroic.

At this moment, she was riding a white horse and standing side by side with Xiao Huai, who was dressed in black. The black and white complemented each other, just like a perfect pair.

Arriving before the crowd, everything was ready, and Xiao Huai announced, "The rules are the same as in previous years. The one who hunts the most and the most valuable prey will be the champion of this spring hunt!"

As he spoke, a pair of resentful eyes secretly stared at Xiao Huai on the high platform.

Xiao Huai, I hope you can leave this hunting ground alive today!

Jiang Suining, please don't let me down~

At a command, Xiao Huai took the lead and led everyone into the jungle, with Sui Ning following closely behind.

Xiao Huai drew the bow and put the arrow in one go, and every arrow hit its target.

The deeper into the forest they rode, the more prey they found. In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed.

Sui Ning frowned, today's hunt has truly begun.

After a while, rustling sounds began to appear in the surrounding grass.

The imperial guards around Xiao Huai were all on high alert.

At this time, two colorful long snakes in the grass pounced on the crowd and bit them.

The guards quickly swung their swords and cut the snake in half.

Pan Tu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it was a false alarm. It was just two poisonous snakes."

Having said that, Sui Ning felt a little uneasy.

Sure enough, the next moment, a "hissing" sound continued to be heard in the surrounding grass.

Countless poisonous snakes emerged from the bushes in all directions, some even hung upside down on the treetops, spitting their tongues at everyone.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt their scalps tingling, the horses jumped up in fright, and the scene fell into chaos.

Xiao Huai pulled Sui Ning behind him and said in a deep voice, "Ning Ning, follow me closely."

"Everyone, take out your insect repellent powder!"

In order to avoid accidents, everyone is asked to wear an insect repellent bag every time they participate in hunting, just in case.

However, when everyone sprinkled insect repellent powder on the snakes, it did not work to disperse them, but instead made the snakes even more crazy.

Something is wrong!

These snakes cannot be dispersed by ordinary means.

It's like being controlled by someone!

Usually in situations like this, there is a manipulator behind the scenes.

After thinking it through, Sui Ning listened carefully and indeed heard a long and distant flute sound.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Liu's voice of collapse and wailing rang in his ears, "Ahhh! How could this happen? How could a poison controller appear here?!"

"A Gu controller?"

Liu Liu quickly explained, "It's a kind of witchcraft that uses music to control poisonous insects and beasts. This is just a low-level feudal plane. Witchcraft like this usually only appears in slightly higher-level planes!"

Isn't this the novice plane?

Logically speaking, this kind of loophole should not appear!

Thinking of this, Liu Liu felt that the data in his body was almost garbled!

"There's no time to worry about that now!" Sui Ning then instructed the system, "Liuliu, I'm going to deal with that Gu controller. You help me keep an eye on Xiao Huai. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Sui Ning didn't wait for everyone to react. He swept his sword across to clear the way and galloped towards the place where the flute sound came from.
