On the second day, the wind picked up, the clouds in the sky were thick, and the sun was covered with a layer of darkness.
On the hillside, Yu Xinyi came on horseback in a military uniform with sleeves on, and said to Yu Lingxi, "Sui Sui, the weather has changed suddenly today, and there may be heavy rain at night. Let's go back to the camp after one more hunt, otherwise the mountains will rain, and we will eventually die." Easy to catch cold and wind."
The purpose of Yu Lingxi's trip was not hunting. After thinking about it, she said, "Okay."
Behind the tent, the tethered snow-treading red horse let out a low chirping sound.
This good horse has always understood human nature, but for some reason today it is a little restless, not letting strangers get close, and keeps pawing its front hooves slightly.
"Woo—" Yu Lingxi reached out and stroked the red horse's soft and shiny mane, trying to comfort it.
But the red horse flicked its head and struggled desperately for the rein. Yu Lingxi hurriedly took a step back, and was about to call the guards to come to help, but saw a powerful arm coming across, grabbed the rein and pulled it down forcefully, the red horse snorted, and obediently bowed its head and did not move.
Yu Lingxi looked at Ning Yin's horse-taming profile, with a little surprise in her eyes.
The red horse recognized its owner and had a fierce temper. Apart from herself and her father, Yu Lingxi had never seen it bow its head in the hands of a third person. Usually, even if Auntie touches it, it still sticks its hooves.
"Miss, it's alright." Ning Yin turned his head, the wind blew past, and a strand of hair from his temple brushed against his light-colored thin lips.
Today, the wind is strong and the spring is cold. He is wearing very thin clothes, and the knuckles holding the rein are slightly red.
It happened that Hu Tao sent a set of red cotton cloaks for the master to wear to prevent the wind.
Yu Lingxi shook off the bright red cloak, but instead of putting it on, she put it on Ning Yin's shoulders.
When tying the rope for him, Yu Lingxi could feel the tightness and stiffness of his figure, but only for a moment, he relaxed obediently, with a little doubt in his eyes.
Hu Tao also looked confused, glanced at the young man who was favored by the master, pouted and said sourly: "Then, servant girl, go get another one for the young lady..."
"No need, I don't know how hot it will be when hunting later."
Yu Lingxi looked Ning Yin up and down, and thought, Ning Yin is really suitable for such a bright color, with a very visually striking beauty.
"The cloak is a bit short, you just wear it."
Grabbing the saddle, Yu Lingxi turned onto the horse and said, "Since the person I brought out, he shouldn't dress too poorly, lest he lose face to the Yu family."
Ning Yin was still looking at her, her eyes were pitch black, and she didn't hand over the reins of the horse to her.
Yu Lingxi looked at the empty palm and frowned.
Hu Tao coughed dryly, and said in a low voice: "You beggar is so rude, you actually look at Miss like this!"
Only then did Ning Yin part her thin lips slightly, calling out: "Miss."
Yu Lingxi concentrated, thinking that he wanted to thank him for the cloak, but after waiting for a while, he heard the young man's voice with a smile: "It's raining today, so it's not suitable for hunting."
The cold wind rolled in, and there was a continuous sound of horns in the distance.
The hunting has already started, and Yu Xinyi raised his whip in the distance to urge him, but Yu Lingxi ignored his endless words, and raised his whip and said, "I will return before it rains."
Clouds cover the sun and shadows cover the earth.
Looking at Yu Lingxi's figure in the distance, Ning Yin's eyes seemed to be clouded with darkness, indifference and indifference.
In the forest, the hounds barked wildly, and the frightened birds flew.
The one who came out on top today was actually the humble adopted son of the Zhao family.
Zhao Xu threw the deer he had hunted in front of the crowd, and stuck the arrow with the Zhao family emblem on the ground as a sign, but his eyes fell on Zhao Yuming, who was in the outermost circle, with obvious flattery.
Sparse congratulatory sounds came one after another, Zhao Yuming finally showed a smile on his face, and his back straightened.
Ningzi, the king of Nanyang Xiaojun, was so angry that he dropped his bow. It was fine to lose to Yu Xinyi yesterday. After all, she was born in a hairpin and has extraordinary skills.
But what if he lost to an unknown adopted son of the Zhao family today?
Obviously the prey was right in front of them, but their steed was too sick to run, so they could only watch helplessly as Zhao Xu rode Juechen and snatched the prey away.
"Years old."
Yu Xinyi frowned, led the horse over, and asked in a low voice, "How is your Lie Xue?"
Yu Lingxi shook her head, and patted the red horse that kept pacing under her: "I've been a little restless since this morning, and I can't control it."
Yu Xinyi looked around at the sleepy horses and said, "It's strange, why did our horses have problems overnight."
Before he could figure out what went wrong, he suddenly heard a shrill neigh.
Everyone looked back in panic, and saw that the white horse under Ning Zizhuo's seat suddenly bulged its eyes, foamed at the mouth, raised its hooves high, and wanted to knock Ning Zizhuo off the horse like a madman!
With such a high horseback, falling down is no joke!
"Stop! Stop!"
Ning Zizhuo tugged on the rein, but it was in vain, so he shouted hastily, "What are you still doing? Help!"
Xue Cen was the first to react, and hurried forward, trying to help.
But before he got close to Ning Zizhuo, the horse under him was also foaming at the mouth, and went on a rampage like crazy.
Then the second horse, the third horse...
All the horses went crazy, hoofbeats, neighing, and panic shouts, and the woods were in chaos.
Except for the horses of Zhao Mansion.
Yu Lingxi tried her best to appease the neighing and frantic red horse under her. When she raised her eyes in a hurry, she saw Zhao Xu and Zhao Yuming's horses standing in the outer ring unharmed, looking very abrupt among the crowd of crazy horses.
Zhao Yuming's face turned pale, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xu beside him.
"Impossible, impossible..." Zhao Xu murmured, with obvious guilt and panic flashing across his face.
He obviously only added medicine to the Yu family's fodder last night, so that the Zhao family could win the leader today... But for some reason, all the horses went crazy.
Could it be haunted?
There was chaos in the forest, screaming, Yu Lingxi couldn't hear what the Zhao family was saying.
But they are so obvious in a group of crazy horses, and their expressions are different, even a fool knows that there is something wrong with the Zhao family.
Then, Zhao Xudao said something, raised his whip and lashed Zhao Yuming's buttocks, and led her away from the scene.
At the same time, Ning Ziyan couldn't control the crazy horse and fell off the horse!
In the blink of an eye, a figure jumped on the back of a horse. Yu Xinyi grabbed Ning Zizhuo's luxurious skirt with one hand, and led him to the ground firmly.
Ning Zizhuo's eyes turned red with fright, and before he had time to thank him, he saw the crazy horse raised its front hooves and stomped down on Yu Xinyi's back!
Yu Lingxi was so terrified that she didn't care about chasing Zhao Yuming, so she hurriedly twitched her hips and ran towards Aunt Sister!
Lie Xue rushed forward with a neighing sound, and knocked Ning Zizhuo's crazy horse away. The horse's hooves could barely touch Yu Xinyi's shoulder and fell, avoiding the fatal blow...
Yu Lingxi didn't have time to be happy, but saw that the pain made the crazy horse that was knocked away completely riot, and gnawed on Lixue's neck with red eyes!
In an instant, the blood on Lie Xue's neck was pouring, and she stood up in pain, carrying Yu Lingxi and ran away into the depths of the dense forest.
"Sui Sui!"
"Second sister!"
Yu Xinyi's exclamation and Xue Cen's exclamation sounded at the same time, and they had no time to react, so they chased after him.
But the forest is full of crazy horses, and Yu Lingxi rides one of the best horses from the Western Regions, how can he catch up with manpower alone?
This is what Ning Yin saw when he came to the forest.
Yu Lingxi's horse was very vigilant. Last night, he noticed that the forage tasted bad, so he stopped eating it. The poisoning was much lighter than other horses. As long as she strives to protect herself and stays out of her own business, she won't be in danger of her life.
Can…
"It's better to meddle in other people's business." Ning Yin snorted.
The familiar and slender figure jolted on the horse's back, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, leaving Yu Xinyi and Xue Cen far behind.
No one knew better than Ning Yin what it meant for Yu Lingxi to be alone.
His cold and indifferent eyes fell on Ning Zizhuo, who was still in shock, who was his prey on this trip.
Just one step forward, a corner of the cloak was caught by a thorn.
Then, the sound of hoofbeats came, and it was the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family who escaped.
Ning Yin's eyes fell on the warm cloak, she tilted her head, and weighed her benefits.
The footsteps changed direction, and he walked towards the middle of the avenue.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhao Xu yelled loudly, but he didn't slow down the speed of the horse, but rushed straight towards the person blocking the road!
Instead of dodging, the boy was laughing.
Yes, he was smiling, the line of his lips was raised, but his eyes were cold, as if he was staring down at a dying ant.
An ominous omen of being stared at by wild beasts enveloped his heart, Zhao Xu didn't have time to rein in his horse, but saw the young man dragged him off the horse and smashed him to the side of the road.
That boy even used only one hand.
"Zhao Xu!" Amidst Zhao Yuming's screams, Zhao Xu rolled into the ditch like a dead man's sack.
Ning Yin snatched the Zhao family's horse, quickly reined in the horse and turned around, raised his hand and stabbed the dagger into the horse's buttocks, the pain made the gray horse run desperately towards the forest.
Halfway through Yu Xinyi's pursuit, she saw a flying arrow passing by her side, running towards the direction where her sister disappeared.
The scarlet cloak on the horse's back fluttered in the wind. It was a young man she didn't know.
…
The wind in my ears was like a knife slicing by, and the branches of the dense forest kept whipping against my body, causing burning pain.
Yu Lingxi crawled on the horse's back, not daring to let go of the rein.
"Stop, Lixue..."
She tried her best to maintain her sanity, and her palms were so painful that she had just uttered four words when she was bitten on her tongue by the violent jolt.
His stomach was churning, his mouth was filled with a faint smell of blood, and his whole body ached.
nothing.
She comforted herself: When Lie Xue gets tired from running, she will stop...
But soon, her extravagant hope was shattered.
At the end of the forest, there was a faint light in front of it, but it was a jagged cliff.
Lie Xue rushed out of the woods and came to a stop less than three feet away from the cliff. The crushed stones rolled down to the bottom of the cliff one after another. The extreme fright and pain made it spit and hiss.
The strength of the jump threw Yu Lingxi into the air, and the rein was released from her hand. She fell straight to the bottom of the cliff like a bird with broken wings.
Before the thrown heart fell to the bottom, a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision, tightly grasping her falling arm.
