Chapter 35 Wildness

The horse was napping, but when he saw Shu Yao sitting on it, he spread his hooves and was about to run. Li Mingji grabbed the reins and glanced coldly. The horse roared and became docile again.

Li Mingji led the horse and took Shu Yao into the depths of the woods.

Shu Yao came to relax and had no intention of participating in autumn hunting, so although the horse was hung with a quiver and a longbow, it had hardly been used. The only rabbit that was roasted for eating was killed by Li Mingji.

This is strange. Is it because she is in a good mood today that her luck has improved a lot?

The two climbed a hillside with a wide view and saw the mountains and forests. Shu Yao stretched comfortably and suddenly saw several clusters of swaying black shadows in the bushes below.

"Li Mingji!" She grabbed Li Mingji's sleeve and signaled him to look down, "Look at what that is?"

Seeing clearly what the black shadow was, Li Mingji narrowed his eyes, his voice became a little cold, and he said confidently: "It's a wolf."

"Wolf?!"

Shu Yao widened her eyes and looked incredible, "How could there be a wolf?"

She came to Shangyang Mountain Hunting Ground almost every year. This is the royal hunting ground with a designated area. The royal family also built fences and sent officers and soldiers to guard it. The large beasts had long been cleaned up. Therefore, although Shu Yao was a little scared when entering the mountain this time, she was more curious and excited because she knew that Shangyang Mountain was safe enough and there were few accidents.

Li Mingji knew the reason.

How many wild wolves are there?

The wild wolf escaped from the other side of the mountain. Someone deliberately broke the fence and asked the wild wolf to escape into the royal hunting ground.

In his previous life, Xie Yanzhou took Shu Yao to ride a horse. Both of them fell down the mountain. Shu Yao was injured, and the smell of blood attracted the hungry wolf pack.

At that time, Li Jin, the Minister of Personnel, was accompanied by the minister as a minister. Li Mingji disguised himself as a guard and was also in the Li family's team. He just wanted to get into the autumn hunting team to find out the news, but someone took the wrong move and deliberately created an accident.

Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou did not return all night. Emperor Yong was furious and sent someone to search the mountain overnight. Li Mingji took advantage of the chaos to come to Shangyang Mountain, killed the wolf pack, and saved Shu Yao.

The little princess fainted in a coma in a panic. Li Mingji was not able to reveal her identity, so she placed her in an open space. Then she saw Xie Yanzhou riding a horse and carrying Shu Yao away.

Everyone watched Xie Yanzhou come out with the disheveled little princess, so he openly asked to marry Shu Yao, so even Emperor Yong was not willing to refuse and agreed to let them get engaged first.

Li Mingji stood in the dark, watching the whole process with expressionless face, and no one noticed his existence.

Recalling his past life, Li Mingji's eyes were slightly cold, and the man came for Shu Yao.

Although the wolves were not found out in the previous life and only dealt with them as accidental, he could guess who it was.

This time, he stood by Shu Yao's side without leaving him, not letting Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou be with him, but the man in the dark still took action.

Shu Yao had never seen such a situation. Her little face was pale and her heart was tightened. She grabbed Li Mingji's sleeve anxiously, "Li Mingji, let's go back now, I'll ask my uncle to send someone to deal with these wolves..."

"Prince, please be content with peace of mind," Li Mingji said, "I have a way."

In his previous life, he could rescue the little princess who was surrounded by wolves with only one person. Now they are standing on the platform, and the wolves are in the bushes at the foot of the mountain, far away from them. It is naturally not difficult to deal with them.

Putting the reins into Shu Yao's palm, Li Mingji took off the longbow hanging on the horse's back, pulled out three feather arrows and put them on the string, squinting his eyes lightly.

In the bushes, several wild wolves were walking around. They had been hungry for many days and fled into the royal hunting ground before finding their prey. However, their prey was limited and they were not enough to be dried fruits. Instead, they became more hungry and wandered anxiously, with mottled blood on their furs, which looked very fierce.

As if he noticed the danger approaching, a wild wolf suddenly raised his head and howled: "Aowu--"

Li Mingji let go of his hand.

Three arrows left the string together, two shot into the wild wolf's abdomen, one directly inserted into its eyes, and the wild wolf died on the spot. The strong smell of blood spread, and the companions around flocked to eat its corpse.

People will burst out in adversity, not to mention the already hungry beast.

A trace of almost invisible mockery streaked through Li Mingji's eyes, and his slender fingers were casually placed on the longbow. He asked softly: "Can the princess help Mingji to get the arrow?"

Before Shu Yao could come back from the shock just now, she nodded blankly and pulled out an arrow and handed it to him.

She sat on the horse, and Li Mingji stood in front of her. The young man's broad and slender shoulders almost blocked her vision, giving her the illusion that he was more dangerous than these wild wolves.

However, the wild wolf would fight to eat his companion's corpse, but he handed his back to her, as if a tamed beast, lowering his noble head gentlely.

Another arrow shot out, and a wild wolf fell down. The other wolf had realized something was wrong, raised his head from eating, his sharp teeth with bloody internal organs, grinned at the direction where Li Mingji and Shu Yao were, and let out a fierce roar, and he was about to run towards them.

Li Mingji suddenly laughed.

He turned over the horse, picked up three feather arrows, and slapped the horse's back, "Princess, sit firmly."

As if driven by tension, the fierceness deep in the horse's blood was aroused, and the pupils were burning with raging flames. With a neigh, the horse's hooves were raised high.

The reins were still in Shu Yao's hand, Li Mingji's arm was crossed in front of her, and his warm palm tightened her hand. Behind him was the young man's broad and warm chest, and the sound of wind in his ears made her feel the blood in her body boiling.

The horse swiftly dived down the mountain.

Li Mingji let go of his hand, and three arrows flew away from the string, with such great force that it penetrated the body of the wild wolf.

"Aowu--"

The last wild wolf whined and closed his eyes unwillingly.

The wild wolf, which was previously majestic, turned into a corpse in a blink of an eye. The horse walked to the corpse of the wild wolf with agile steps. Li Mingji jumped off the horse, stepped on the wild wolf's sharp claws, and pulled out the feather arrows.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, soaking the surrounding grass.

Li Mingji's fingers were also stained with the blood of the wild wolf, and only the silk handkerchief tied to his palm was as clean as before. He casually inserted the feather arrow into the wild wolf's corpse, looked up at Shu Yao, and his voice was low: "Are the princess scared?"

If Shu Yao and Li Mingji looked at each other, they would find the wildness and excitement burning in his eyes, which was a completely different expression from his warm appearance.

However, she was shocked and did not notice Li Mingji's strangeness. Instead, she felt that with him by her side, she felt very safe. "I have learned archery since I was a child. I have seen many such scenes, so I am not afraid."

She refused to admit that she was scared by the wild wolf just now and almost pierced into Li Mingji's arms.

"What the princess said is very true," Li Mingji smiled, his eyes with a profound meaning. "The princess has learned the art of controlling beasts very well."
