Chapter 396: Fierce Wasps
Chapter 396: Fierce Wasps
But what they didn't expect was that the hornet was still chasing them closely.
Although the horses were fast, the wasps were not slow either. Before long, Xiao Yuncheng and his group rushed to Xiao Heyu's team in front.
"Third Prince, be careful!" Chai Bin spoke first, looking at the person behind him warily.
Xiao Heyu rode on the horse and said quietly, "What's the matter, is Eighth Brother in trouble?"
Xiao Yuncheng didn't bother to speak at this moment. He just heard him start to ridicule him, and simply led his men into Xiao Heyu's team.
Without waiting for anyone to speak again, Zhou Qiwen, with her sharp eyes, said immediately: "Your Highness, it's a wasp!"
The group looked up and saw a dense swarm of hornets chasing after them like a cloud of black smoke.
Xiao Heyu cursed in a low voice and said in a deep voice: "Disperse!"
Xiao Heyu's group of people immediately spread out in all directions, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close. Xiao Yuncheng originally wanted to let Xiao Heyu also have a taste of being chased, but unexpectedly, the swarm of bees really didn't chase them.
Xiao Yuncheng cursed inwardly, feeling that he had encountered some evil spirit. This swarm of bees was actually following them.
"Scatter!" Xiao Yuncheng spoke in a deep voice, also imitating Xiao Heyu's orders.
The group also dispersed in all directions, but Shen Jingyu didn't know martial arts, so naturally she had to follow Xiao Yuncheng.
The number of hornets chasing after other people gradually decreased, but the entire swarm was still chasing in the direction of Xiao Yuncheng and Shen Jingyu.
Shen Jingyu held the reins tightly with both hands, her palms were full of sweat, and she felt that if she was not careful, she would be thrown off the horse.
The strong shaking made her already injured legs even more painful, and the buzzing sound of the wasps seemed to be always in her ears and never went away.
After the group dispersed, Xiao Heyu and others followed from a distance to watch the fun.
Xiao Yuncheng felt annoyed. The more he tried to shake off the swarm of bees, the more he couldn't. Unconsciously, he sped up his horse again.
However, since the group ahead was probably Emperor Qianwu and his court officials, Xiao Yuncheng could not rush forward and simply went around in a circle.
Not long after, Shen Jingyu fell behind. After all, she was not good at riding and shooting. It was already good enough for her to be able to catch up with the team on horseback. How could she compare with the already irritated Xiao Yuncheng.
"Your Highness!" Seeing the sounds of the hornets getting closer and closer to her, Shen Jingyu's usually calm expression finally showed some fear.
"Get out of the way to the left!" Xiao Yuncheng turned around and saw a hornet like black smoke, about to pounce on Shen Jingyu's back.
He tightened the reins. He couldn't just abandon the woman who followed him in front of everyone, so he immediately scolded in a deep voice.
In a panic, Shen Jingyu could only tighten the reins and try to turn the horse around.
But the horse was galloping, and she suddenly wanted to change direction. She lost her balance and was thrown off the horse.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yuncheng frowned, spoke urgently, and ran towards her.
Shen Jingyu fell hard and subconsciously loosened the reins. The horse ran away. Shen Jingyu became a little flustered and immediately comforted herself: No, nothing will happen!
There are so many people on the field now, and she has mosquito repellent lotion on her body, so the wasps will not chase her!
Shen Jingyu comforted herself in this way, but what she didn't expect was that the next moment, a swarm of bees swarmed towards her.
"Ah——!!!" Shen Jingyu let out a cry of pain.
Then, she no longer cared about her image and ran around, trying to ask for help, but the hornets followed her like a shadow.
Soon, Shen Jingyu was submerged in the swarm of bees. She couldn't run and felt as if she was about to be swallowed by the swarm.
Shen Jingyu fell to the ground and rolled around, with a dense layer of hornets covering her body.
Patches of burning pain spread instantly.
Shen Jingyu covered her face with both hands and rolled on the ground in pain: "Get out! Get out!"
The noble lady who was famous in the capital now has no image at all.
At this moment, Shen Jingzhen, Lou Yulan and their group also caught up, and Shen Shuyi, Zhao Baokun and others followed closely behind.
In addition, there were several teams of people who didn't know what had happened and just thought someone was in danger, so they rushed over to help.
When Zhao Baokun saw this scene, he felt his scalp tingling. He swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Cousin...cousin...will she die?"
Zhao Baokun has always felt that death is nothing to be afraid of.
But if this is the way to die, it is really frightening.
For Shen Jingyu, it was probably like being tortured in public both physically and mentally.
At this point, the most noble lady in the capital would probably become a laughing stock.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were clear and her voice was calm: "Normally not, but... she can't say."
"Why...why?" Zhao Baokun continued to ask.
Zhao Xueqing whispered, "Ordinary people wouldn't be stung so many times by wasps, and you can imagine how painful it would be afterwards."
Zhao Baokun laughed dryly and said, "Cousin...cousin, if there is anything that makes you unhappy, just tell me, you're welcome! If there is anything that requires my life, I will do my best!"
Shen Shuyi turned to look at him and couldn't help but smile: "What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Baokun was speechless. He just looked at Shen Jingzhen and Lou Yulan who were secretly happy over there. He inexplicably felt that his cousin, who played everyone in her palm with just a smile, should not be offended.
Zhao Baokun cleared his throat and said in a flattering tone, "Cousin, I am your biological cousin! I will always stand by your side!"
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Is there a saying that cousins are legitimate relatives?"
"Uh..." Zhao Baokun hugged the mosquito repellent sachet that Lian Qiao had specially prepared on his body, and looked at Shen Jingyu who was rolling on the ground with sympathy.
In just a moment, the jade crown on Shen Jingyu's head fell off, and her black hair spread out.
She was fine, after all, her winter clothes were always thick, but the wasps had no idea where to attack, so they pounced on her exposed skin.
When Xiao Yuncheng saw her fall off her horse, he ran towards her, trying to pull her onto his horse's back.
But when he ran halfway, he saw a swarm of bees running towards Shen Jingyu. Xiao Yuncheng was stunned immediately, tightened the reins and stopped where he was.
For a moment, everyone could see clearly.
"Your Highness, please stay away. Those hornets are heading for Shen Jingyu!" Someone bravely came to Xiao Yuncheng's side, his eyes also fell on Shen Jingyu who was not far away.
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't understand it at this moment. Just as his subordinates said, these swarms of bees were attracted by Shen Jingyu!
"Your Highness! Save me... Save me..." Shen Jingyu struggled to look at Xiao Yuncheng, her beautiful pupils full of desire.
She didn't care about anything else and could only protect her face.
But with such a huge number of bees, how could she protect them just because she wanted to?
When Xiao Yuncheng saw this scene, his throat also tightened. After all, wasps are not very ferocious, but they are more difficult to deal with than many wild beasts!
