Shengjing Noble

Chapter 420 It's Not My Fault

After running for a while, I couldn't find a fox, let alone its shadow.

Fu Mingheng asked doubtfully, "Did you really see the fox running here?"

"This forest is so big, I forgot... How about we dismount and take a rest first?"

"Alright."

Fu Mingheng stopped the horse, helped her get off the horse, and tied the reins under a big tree nearby.

Su Lanyin glanced at the river not far away, her eyes flashed, and she said hurriedly: "Sir, I am thirsty."

Fu Mingheng took out a water bottle from the bag beside the horse and handed it to her: "Drink it."

"Thank you, sir."

Su Lanyin unscrewed the lid and poured water into her mouth, then pretended to be careless and loosened the kettle.

The water splashed all over her.

"oops!"

Su Lanyin looked aggrieved and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it. What should I do now?"

Fu Mingheng frowned, a little impatient, but when he saw her clothes soaked by water, outlining her seductive curves, he swallowed subconsciously.

"It's okay...um...your clothes."

"Ah?" Su Lanyin looked down and quickly put her hands over her chest, pretending to be angry, "Sir, what are you looking at? Turn away!"

"Feel sorry……"

Fu Mingheng quickly turned around, picked up the kettle on the ground and said, "I'll go get some more water."

Seeing him walking towards the river in the distance, Su Lanyin immediately untied the reins tied to the tree, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards the wild beast area.

When Fu Mingheng came back with the kettle, he found that the place was empty, even his own horse was gone.

Suspicion flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted: "Miss Jasmine? Jasmine! Where is she..."

Could it be that he ran away?

Or is there some danger?

All kinds of suspicions flashed through Fu Mingheng's mind, but the most important thing at the moment was, how could he get out without a horse?

"hateful!"

……

Su Lanyin didn't care whether Fu Mingheng lived or died. She hoped that he would get lost in the woods and be targeted by wolves.

She rushed to the wild animal area without stopping. Once she entered the forest, the atmosphere around her was completely different from the outside world.

The trees here are tall and lush, blocking the sunlight, making everything dark and hazy.

It is also difficult to tell the direction. Once you miss a road sign, you may end up taking the wrong road and never be able to get out.

No one knows how many people have died in this hunting area. If you look carefully, you may find various skeletons in some corner.

If there are animals, there may naturally be humans.

The horse under Su Lanyin seemed to sense the approaching danger, so it slowed down its pace and swayed its head from side to side, looking for something.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the haystack, and the horse immediately took several steps back.

Then, Su Lanyin saw a huge python coming out and accelerating towards her.

Without time to think, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and galloped in the other direction.

But the giant python didn't seem to want to let her go and kept chasing her.

Even though she smelled like a tiger, the snake showed no fear, which meant it was a good thing.

But Su Lanyin is not a pushover either. She made the best preparations before coming.

With one hand he took out a black pill the size of a fingernail from his pocket, and with the other hand he took out the slingshot hidden in his sleeve.

With the reins tied around his arm, he kept himself steady while turning and pulling the slingshot.

The python jumped up and pounced towards her with its bloody mouth wide open. Almost at the same time, Su Lanyin fired the slingshot in her hand, and the black pill flew directly into the python's mouth.

Then, the python fell to the ground with a bang, raising a lot of dust.

Su Lanyin stopped by pulling the reins, then turned around and walked over to check.

The huge python was almost thicker than the small tree next to it. Its long body curled up into a ball, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.

Su Lanyin jumped off the horse, pulled out a dagger stained with extremely poisonous venom from her boots, thrust it fiercely into the snake's vital point, and then cut it in half.

This dagger can cut through iron like mud, and she spent a lot of money to make it.

Not to mention snake scales, even hard stones can be easily cut through with the help of internal force.

I encountered such a big snake as soon as I came in. I don’t know what the situation is over there.

Su Lanyin put the snake's head into a cloth bag and hung it on the saddle, then climbed on the horse and continued on her way.

……

Su Shengyan had killed three wolves, and the severed wolf heads were hanging on the saddle. These were all trophies and he would take them back later.

This time, the judging is entirely based on the number and ferocity of the prey.

Wolves can be considered mid-level ferocious beasts, but are not as good as bears and tigers.

However, it is very difficult to hunt black bears and tigers on your own, and you can only cooperate with others.

So when Chu Yan proposed an alliance, he readily agreed.

The two men came to the place where the bears were active, one was responsible for acting as bait, and the other was responsible for giving the bear a fatal blow in the dark.

As for who is the bait and who is the hidden one, it is a bit difficult.

After all, they had just met and were not sure whether they could trust each other.

The one who acts as bait is risking his life, and no one would be willing to do that.

However, before Su Shengyan could speak, Chu Yan said coldly, "I'll be the bait."

"Why?"

"I believe you won't lie to me."

As Chu Yan spoke, he took the rabbit out of the bag, drained its blood, and rubbed it on his clothes.

Bears have a very keen sense of smell and will definitely come if they smell blood.

"Why do you believe me?" Su Shengyan was puzzled.

Chu Yan threw the rabbit to the ground and turned to look at him: "You saved me."

"I?"

Su Shengyan thought of something and explained, "What if I say that I didn't do that?"

"Are there other people besides you? I know you don't want to admit it. After all, this incident has offended the An family and the prince. But it doesn't matter. I understand you and I believe in your character."

"..."

Su Shengyan knew that no matter what he said, he would not believe it.

After all, things had already happened, and that sachet... he knew in his heart that it was Su Lanyin who put it there.

If I don't take this risk, the An family will blame my sister.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "You are right. Whether I admit it or not, I did it, and I never thought of harming you. Since you trust me now, I promise that I will not let you down!"

After saying that, he gripped the bow and arrow tightly, jumped on his horse, ran behind a big tree not far away, and hid himself.

Chu Yan sat there, his face expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

He took a deep breath and carefully listened to the sounds around him.

Finally, there is movement!

The woods were rustling, but everything around was too dark. A thin layer of fog rose up, making it even harder to see things in the distance.

However, the footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
