Chapter 451: Responding to Chu Wenzhong, Encountering Poisonous Bees
"Don't worry Xi'er, I've already sent someone to take care of you. Brother Chu will be fine."
Jun Lingyun spoke to comfort him. But Chu Yunxi heard what he said. Why did he send someone to respond?
When my father returned to Beijing, he came back by himself. Why did his elder brother need someone to take care of him? Could it be that something happened to his elder brother?
"Ling Yun, if something happens to my eldest brother, you must not hide it from me."
"Don't think so wildly. Brother Chu should be reorganizing the new army, so he was delayed for a few days. You just need to worry about raising your baby, and I will take care of everything."
Calculating the time, Chu Wenzhong should indeed have arrived, but now the situation is unclear.
The secret guards he sent out had only been there for two days, and he still didn't know the specific situation at Chu Wenzhong's place.
"Bai Xiao, take the people yourself and go to meet them."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing that Bai Xiao was gone, Chu Yunxi felt a little relieved. I hope she really is overthinking.
Time passed day by day, and the people in the capital were anxious. Bai Xiao, who went to meet him, was even more anxious.
With ten secret guards, he has entered a large mountain forest, which is the only way to the northern border of Xizhao. If he bypasses this mountain forest, he will have to walk for several days.
Bai Xiao and his party were riding fast when a secret guard suddenly screamed and fell straight from his horse, rolling a few times before stopping.
Bai Xiao and others hurriedly tightened their horse ropes and stopped to check on the hidden guard.
"Ah, it hurts."
Bai Xiao saw that the secret guard was covering one side of his face and was in unbearable pain. He stretched out his hand and pulled away his hand, and saw that half of his face was extremely red and swollen.
When he looked carefully, he saw a poisonous bee in his hand that he had beaten to death. And the secret guard had already started to roll his eyes.
"This poisonous bee is so powerful!"
Several people were shocked.
Bai Xiao quickly took out two Baixiao Dan and gave one to the secret guard. He crushed one, mixed it with some water, and applied it to the red and swollen half of his face, and carefully applied the little poison
The thorn was pinched out.
After a while, the secret guard breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Xiao helped him up.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"咴——,咴——"
But before the secret guard could reply, their horses ran forward like crazy, causing the two remaining horses to kick on the ground restlessly.
Bai Xiao and others looked back and saw that the horse that had run out had fallen to the ground before it had run very far.
Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes, reacted, and shouted hurriedly:
"Sprinkle the remaining horses with deworming powder, quickly!"
Several of them were wearing insect repellent sachets given by the Queen, but the horse was not wearing them.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many poisonous bees in this mountain forest!
The secret guards obeyed the order and quickly took out insecticide powder and sprinkled it all over the horses' bodies.
By the way, I also smeared it all over my body, but in this way, most of the insect repellent powder had been consumed.
The secret guard was distracted and went forward to check on the fallen horses. Unfortunately, they were all dying.
People can rescue horses, but they can't also feed the Crown Princess Baixiao Dan, right?
How much do you need to feed to save a horse? Whether the horse can eat is another question. Even if it is saved, I am afraid that it will not be able to regain its strength for a while. I can only shake my head and sigh.
"Brother Bai Xiao, it's a poisonous bee again! I'm afraid the horse is hopeless."
The secret guard who had just been stung by a poisonous bee and fell to the ground now regained some strength.
Looking at those horses, I couldn't help but feel scared when I thought that I almost met the same fate.
"Thank you, Brother Bai Xiao."
He was also unlucky. As he rode forward on his horse, he could also hit the oncoming poisonous bees.
Fortunately, with the magic medicine given to them by the Queen, they were able to save their lives.
Bai Xiao and the others were observing their surroundings carefully. At this sight, they had goosebumps all over their bodies.
On the big tree next to them, between the branches half-hidden by the leaves, there were two hives as big as watermelons, densely packed with the same poisonous bees.
Climbing in and out, back and forth,
They hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at other trees, only to find several more of the same hives.
"Brother Bai Xiao, we have no horses. If we continue to move forward, we will not be able to get out of this mountain forest before dark. It will only be more deadly at night."
"Could it be that General Chu also realized that there was danger and took a detour?"
These words reminded Bai Xiao that this possibility was not impossible.
It wouldn’t be surprising if we took a detour and walked for a few more days.
But what if Chu Wenzhong is trapped in this mountain forest?
They came to meet Chu Wenzhong on the order of their master. If they made a mistake in judgment and retreated from the forest, they would most likely miss it.
Bai Xiao thought for a while, took out a signal bomb, pulled out the cap, and the signal shot into the sky.
If Chu Wenzhong was also in this forest, he would most likely see it.
I just waited for a while, but they were disappointed, there was no response.
Bai Xiao made a quick decision:
"An San will stay and walk through the mountains and forests with me. The others will go back the same way and go find Ma to meet them."
"yes!"
The secret guards are well-trained and accustomed to obeying orders. Although they are very worried about Bai Xiao and An San, no one will disobey orders, which will only waste time.
They just silently took off the pills and sachets from their bodies and handed them to Bai Xiao and the other two.
Bai Xiao took it away and threw half of the pills back to them, but kept the insect repellent sachet.
They had all been smeared with insect repellent powder just now, so it would be no problem for them to go back, and they had not gone very far into the forest.
On the contrary, he and An San need these things very much.
"Be extremely careful on your way back and don't be careless!"
"yes!"
The secret guards quickly used light skills to fly away, and they separated from Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao and An San didn't dare to ride too fast, for fear of running into a poisonous bee like the brothers who were tricked.
Every mile forward, a missing person signal would be emitted, lest he might cross paths with Chu Wenzhong, he would also send a secret guard in the forest to report that he was safe.
It's just that the further you go, the more snakes, insects, rats, and ants become.
And they discovered that even the ants in the forest were poisonous. If they were bitten, it would be extremely painful.
The two of them did not dare to stay any longer in the forest, so they could only continue on their way.
"Brother Bai Xiao, this is really abnormal. Even in a deserted place, there shouldn't be so many poisonous insects."
An San scratched his arm, knowing that with four or five insect repellent sachets hanging on his body, he should be safe. But mentally, he still felt a little itchy.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. In Bai Xiao's mind, he has already thought of a person. A person who can drive poisonous insects and even wild beasts.
"Uu——"
Thinking of this person, Bai Xiao suddenly stopped, turned over and dismounted.
When An San saw this, he also stopped.
"Brother Bai Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Have a rest before leaving."
"Here?"
An San looked around, seeing the big trees less than a foot away from him, and felt his body itching even more.
Bai Xiao took out the dry food and threw it to An San.
"Eat quickly and replenish your strength. There may be a tough battle waiting for us ahead."
