"Not long after we entered the forest, my sister chased the sika deer. My sister wanted to chase the sheep, but unexpectedly someone shot an arrow and forced her to chase her!" Wei Ning'er whispered. [ ]

"This..." Concubine Jia couldn't believe it.

"Has sister noticed anything unusual about the sika deer? An ordinary animal, when being chased by someone, would definitely run away in panic, but the sika deer has been running this way unhurriedly, and now it suddenly disappeared!" Wei Ning'er said!

He paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked around.

The trees here were low, but extremely dense, and the weeds were overgrown, almost reaching their feet. It should be noted that they were riding horses.

"Sister, since you noticed something strange, why didn't you call me just now?" Concubine Jia also felt that something was wrong, especially when it was getting late and the surroundings were not clear enough, she was even more worried.

"Just now, sister was focused on the sika deer. She called her several times, but she didn't stop. She had no choice but to chase after her!" Wei Ning'er said helplessly.

"I always feel that this place is eerie. Sister, let's go back quickly!" Concubine Jia said and rode back.

At this moment, the horse she was riding neighed and did not listen to her command and retreated.

Wei Ning'er took a closer look, froze suddenly, and shouted: "There are snakes, there are many venomous snakes, hurry up!"

"Ah——." Concubine Jia also saw the snakes scurrying in front of her. She couldn't help but shudder, screamed, turned her horse's head and ran after Wei Ning'er.

Their escape route had been blocked, and they could only run forward. Wei Ning'er gradually realized that she and Concubine Jia had fallen into a trap.

Ahead, there may be something more terrifying waiting for them.

In order to avoid those venomous snakes, the two of them whipped their riding whips and ran forward desperately. When they realized that they had thrown away the snakes behind them, they no longer knew where they were.

"We're lost!" Concubine Jia took out the paddock map she had on her and looked at it for a while under the moonlight, but she didn't know where they were.

"Sister has been to the paddock many times, but have you ever remembered whether the place where we are is outside the paddock?" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and asked.

Concubine Jia shook her head: "Although I have come with the emperor many times, but... I have never run so far! It's dark, and I can't see clearly around me. I'm not sure, but the size of Mulan Paddock is a bit scary. We

After running for a while, we will not leave the paddock. What's more, in order to allow the beasts in the paddock to thrive and not be wiped out, the emperor chooses a place to set up a fence every year. When we get to the edge, we will definitely see it.

The Eight Banners soldiers responsible for guarding the paddock."

Wei Ning'er heard this and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. What happened today is too strange. To prevent changes, let's move forward quickly!"

"The only one who has the ability to set a trap for us is Concubine Xian. I didn't expect her to be so vicious. I didn't agree to cooperate with her, so she attacked me!" Concubine Jia said angrily.

Wei Ning'er didn't answer, and rode her horse forward slowly. Today was a day of hunting, and although the horse they were riding was strong, it couldn't withstand the torment. At this time, the horse was tired and hungry.

"Sister, my concubine, I think the horses are too tired. There is a hillside in front of them. There are no trees on it and there is a lot of grass. Let's rest for a while!" Concubine Jia pointed to the front and said.

"Just follow my sister's words!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly. They had no other choice at this moment. If the horse was tired and fell down, they would be in even greater danger.

Outside the dense forest, the emperor was looking at Concubine Xian who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression. After a while, he said: "Why didn't you send someone to report it to me earlier?"

Concubine Xian was shocked, and then said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it is my concubine's negligence to calm down your anger. I thought that the two sisters would come out in a short time after entering the forest, but unexpectedly..."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "That's enough!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Wu Shulai said tremblingly.

"Here comes someone, convey my decree, and order all the soldiers of the Eight Banners to immediately surround this dense forest and look for the concubine and the concubine!" the emperor shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai responded and ordered the people around him to convey the order.

"Fu Heng, Ening, you follow me into the dense forest!" After saying this, the emperor flew onto his horse.

"Your Majesty, it's better to wait for the commanders and their people to arrive before going in!" Wu Shulai said with some worry.

"No need!" The emperor has already rode in. There are thousands of personal guards around the emperor. This is the royal hunting ground and there are Eight Banners generals everywhere, but there are also hidden dangers.

Fu Heng and E Ning followed closely beside the emperor, their faces full of solemn expressions, especially Fu Heng, who was even more worried. Although he had deliberately tried to forget what happened in the past few days, when he heard that Wei Ning'er was missing,

His heart suddenly lifted.

"Fu Heng, I will stay close to the emperor to protect him. Look around and see if there is anything suspicious?" Ening said and leaned towards the emperor.

Fu Heng immediately ordered the people around him to mount their horses and disperse to investigate. A moment later, everyone heard screams.

"Where did the sound come from?" The emperor immediately stopped his horse and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, a trap was found ahead. Someone fell down with his horse. There were dozens of venomous snakes in the trap." Fu Heng rode over and reported.

"Trap!" The emperor paused suddenly, and then shouted: "How can there be a trap in the paddock? Where is the steward?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Upon hearing this, the official in charge of the paddock was so frightened that he fell off his horse and rolled up to the emperor.

"I ask you, where did the traps and poisonous snakes come from?" The emperor was furious.

"Minion...I don't know. Your Majesty knows it. When I set up the siege, I checked every corner of the enclosure and found no traps or poisonous snakes!" The steward shivered with fright.

"Useless slave, here comes someone, pull him down!" The emperor was already extremely angry at this time.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, it's important to find the two empresses!" Wu Shulai said respectfully.

The emperor then ordered everyone to continue moving forward, but this time they were much more careful and the speed slowed down.

…

On the hillside, Concubine Jia and Wei Ning'er wanted to get on their horses and continue moving forward after the horses had eaten enough grass.

"Sister, your concubine, let's go forward. If we can't find anyone, we will look in another direction." Concubine Jia was not sure whether they ran out of the paddock. She was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Paddock, keep going forward, but you don’t know where you are going.

"Yeah!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly and was about to get on the horse when a strange sound rang in her ears.

"What's the sound?" Wei Ning'er was startled, and then glanced around, but found nothing strange.

"What happened?" Concubine Jia was frightened by the poisonous snake just now.

Wei Ning'er was afraid that something terrible would appear again, so she stood there quietly and looked around. However, it was too dark at night and she couldn't see clearly even with the help of the moonlight.

At this moment, Concubine Jia shook her finger and pointed forward, shouting sternly: "Over there, over there!"

"What?" Wei Ning'er was so frightened by her, but she still forced herself to calm down and look around, but found nothing.

"It's right there...look..." Concubine Jia's hand changed places again.

This time, even Wei Ning'er saw a dark shadow. She didn't know if it was a human or a beast. If it was a beast, it would be better, but if it was a human, they would be in danger.

The black shadow flashed very fast. In the blink of an eye, it flashed into the trees and came out again a moment later.

"It's... it's a beast, more than one!" Concubine Jia took a breath of cold air.

"Hurry up and get on your horse!" Wei Ning'er also saw it, but she didn't know what kind of beast it was. Not only was it extremely fast, it could even jump on trees.

The two rode their horses and ran forward, but the wild beasts chased them and kept jumping on the trees.

"Is it a monkey?" Jia Fei shouted.

If it was really a monkey, it wouldn't be scary. Monkeys never hurt people.

"No!" Wei Ning'er was very sure. Although she couldn't see it clearly, the black shadow was flashing very fast and it didn't look like a monkey.

"They are catching up! Run!" Jia Fei looked back and shouted loudly.

Wei Ning'er turned around after hearing the words and took a breath of cold air. She didn't know what kind of beast they were. They actually jumped down from the tree and ran faster on the grass than on the tree. In just a few jumps, they actually jumped.

Caught up with them.

The horses were already tired. Although they had rested just now, they were not running very fast. In a short time, Wei Ning'er and the others were overtaken by a dozen wild beasts.

"It's a wolf!" Concubine Jia screamed.

They had to stop their horses because the beast ran too fast and surrounded them.

"It's not a wolf, it's a tiger!" Wei Ning'er's words were full of fear. At this time, she was also scared, but she still picked up the bow and arrow with trembling hands.

"Hurry up and take out your bow and arrows!" Wei Ning'er shouted to Concubine Jia, who was still stunned.

Concubine Jia was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sister, don't worry, put away your bow and arrow quickly. This is not a tiger, this is a leopard. There are some in the paddock, but they are usually separated to the east of the paddock. Why do they appear here now?"

There are so many more here?”

"Leopard!" Wei Ning'er was stunned, and then she calmed down and said, "Do they eat people?"

Hearing this, Concubine Jia looked at her in astonishment, and then said for a moment: "Don't eat it... Leopards are alert in nature. They can swim, climb trees, jump and run. They usually don't appear in groups. They often appear in groups.

It wanders back and forth in the forest and has a ferocious nature, but it usually doesn't hurt people, and it won't eat people!"

"But why do I look at them? They seem very hungry. They really look like tigers!" Wei Ning'er still held the bow and arrow.

"Sister, have you ever seen a tiger?" Concubine Jia couldn't believe it.

"I once saw a tiger painted by an artist at a painting stall on the street!" Wei Ning'er returned.

When Concubine Jia heard this, she was a little surprised, but when she heard the leopards roaring, she shouted urgently: "Sister, put down your bow and arrow quickly, lest they think we are going to hurt them, and it will be terrible!"

"Okay!" Wei Ning'er immediately put away her bow and arrows.

"Get off the horse!" Concubine Jia shouted.

"Why?" Wei Ning'er was a little confused.
