Chapter 399: Stepping on Dog Shit When Going Out
Shen Shuyi curled her eyes and said, "Thank you, sir, don't worry. If we are in danger, I will run faster than anyone else."
Xie Jingchi glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Miss Shen is really ruthless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xueqing came back from not far away carrying a rabbit, and Shen Shuyi was stunned.
"Cousin, is this something I'm confused about?"
Zhao Xueqing smiled and said, "No, I found it in the woods when I followed Bao Peng to collect prey just now."
"Dead?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi moved forward and stared at the fat rabbit. The rabbit had grayish-white fur, and a red diamond-shaped birthmark between its eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.
Zhao Baokun asked immediately: "How do we calculate what we picked up? Does it count as what we hunted?"
Zhao Baopeng glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Zhao Baokun paused, sighed and said, "How about roasting it and eating it?"
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "He died in an unclear way, yet you dare to eat him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Baokun opened his mouth and asked, "Is it poisonous?"
Shen Shuyi was not sure either, so he took the rabbit and threw it to a roe deer that Zhao Baokun had hunted before. The roe deer was already wounded by an arrow, so it jumped up and down as soon as it saw the rabbit.
Shen Shuyi squatted in front of him and stared at it for a while.
Soon, the roe deer was foaming at the mouth and groaning on the ground.
But perhaps because the toxicity had weakened, the roe deer did not die, but it just did not look very good.
Zhao Baokun: “!!!”
"Cousin, from now on if you tell me to go east I will never go west, and if you tell me to beat a dog I will never chase a chicken!"
Shen Shuyi: "..."
Shen Shuyi didn't have time to pay attention to him. He just felt that the death of the marked prey was really strange.
Logically speaking, the prey that Emperor Qianwu ordered people to release into the mountains and forests should be fought over by everyone because they are relatively "valuable".
But before they got too deep into the forest, they picked up a ready-made one.
This kind of luck is like stepping in dog shit when going out.
If you step on it a few more times, it won't be easy to get the first place, but you can get a lot of rewards from Emperor Qianwu.
"There seems to be some weeds in the rabbit's mouth." Lian Qiao was bored in the tent and had never participated in autumn hunting, so she pretended to be Shen Shuyi's maid and came to join in the fun.
Shen Shuyi looked up and saw that the rabbit was already a bloody mess, making it difficult for Lian Qiao to see it carefully.
"What can be distinguished?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Lian Qiao studied it carefully for a while and said, "I'm not sure, but the rabbit must have died because it ate this grass."
Zhao Baokun asked: "So, the rabbit's death was purely bad luck?"
"Let's go in and take a look." Shen Shuyi didn't jump to conclusions too early. After all, this autumn hunt involved too many people.
As long as one is a human being, he or she will have his or her own thoughts.
No matter whether one is in a high position or a slave ant, no one knows how those plots will end.

Now, on the other side.
Chai Bin and other confidants followed Xiao Heyu. After hunting a deer, Xiao Heyu collected the arrow with satisfaction, and his confidants immediately cheered.
Xiao Heyu tightened the reins, turned the direction, and asked faintly: "Is it arranged?"
Chai Bin immediately stepped forward and whispered, "It's all arranged. I'll make sure Xie Jingchi never comes back this time."
Xiao Heyu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Chai Bin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, Shen Shuyi... I am worried that she has noticed something."
Although Chai Bin is domineering and reckless, he is also a man with a delicate mind.
Shen Shuyi's words that day always bothered him.
Once unfaithful, never forgiven?
Doesn’t the Chai family look like loyal ministers and good generals?
How could she, a girl in the boudoir, have the courage to say such a thing? What was she seeking?
"Shen Shuyi?" Xiao Heyu narrowed his eyes, obviously quite impressed by this name.
"Yes, she has tested me before, and I was worried..." Chai Bin hesitated to speak, suspecting that Shen Shuyi knew something, but he didn't know what she knew.
But no matter what, in Chai Bin's opinion, a woman like her really shouldn't get involved in men's affairs.
Now that he dares to offend the Third Prince, he is probably courting death!
Hearing this, Zhou Qiwen and Xiao Tingshan also turned to look at him.
Xiao Heyu's eyes were gloomy, and he thought of the girl who had played him around in the hunting ground that day.
He was accompanied by many men that day, and the girl was alone. Although she looked weak, she was ruthless when she attacked.
So much so that in the end, more than a dozen of his horses died, six or seven of his trusted attendants died, and seven or eight were injured.
"If I remember correctly, he entered the hunting ground with the people from Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion." Xiao Heyu said quietly.
"Yes." Chai Bin responded.
"Kill her! There are so many jackals and ferocious beasts in this forest. This is not a place for her to be." Xiao Heyu's peach blossom eyes were soft and dark, but his words were merciless.
Zhou Qiwen's heart immediately dropped, and she did not interrupt rashly.
Xiao Tingshan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this woman is cunning and scheming. Shen Jingyu once sent assassins but failed. I also fought with her but failed to get any benefit. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to succeed."
Chai Bin sneered, "Prince Song, you are just a woman. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I, Chai Bin, can't do it!"
Xiao Heyu raised his hand and Chai Bin immediately fell silent.
Xiao Tingshan then continued, "Not only that, this woman has a poison expert by her side, and several other experts are secretly protecting her."
Xiao Heyu asked: "What do you suggest?"
Xiao Tingshan's eyes were warm, but his words were merciless: "If Lord Chai wants to succeed, he has to lure the tiger away from the mountain and make a feint to the east and attack in the west."
Chai Bin narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"The people around her must be separated from her." Xiao Tingshan said slowly.
"Tell me in detail." Xiao Heyu said patiently.
Xiao Tingshan: "I think that the revival of Qingyuan Marquis Mansion this time is closely related to Shen Shuyi. It can be seen that whether for personal reasons or for profit, Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is of great use to Shen Shuyi."
Xiao Heyu said slowly: "You mean, we should attack the Zhao brothers first, force out the people behind her, and then attack her when we are at our wit's end."
"That's right. The Zhao brothers are useful to Shen Shuyi. She will not sit idly by. If she is in danger, she will definitely help her. Now is the best time to take action."
Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly. To this day, he still remembered the scene when she used herself to block the sword. He also remembered his loss and unwillingness when Liancheng recognized her as his master and treated him coldly.
Shen Shuyi, I want to see if you can keep winning?
Chai Bin already disliked the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he was even more unwilling to accept his previous defeat by Zhao Baopeng. Naturally, there was no reason for him not to respond now.
"Go do it." Xiao Heyu said coldly.
"Yes." After receiving the order, Chai Bin rode away.
Xiao Heyu looked at Xiao Tingshan's pale face and said quietly, "You leaked the news of the black bug appearing on the prayer wheel, and you lost the archery competition in public. Father already has a bad impression of you."
