Chapter 191 Someone wants to kill her!
The sudden change made Wen Yao panic. She wanted to ride her horse to catch up, but her riding skills were too poor.
Not only did the foal not move at all, it also threw her off effortlessly.
Ignoring the pain, Wen Yao got up from the ground and ran as fast as he could, trying to catch up with Xu Rongrong.
But...how is this possible?
In her anxiety, a dark shadow flashed past her.
It's Mu'ai.
Several pieces of news arrived from the capital today, all concerning the Eastern Palace and the Duke of Ning's residence. Even within the palace, news emerged that Concubine Shu had begun to take action. With so many things happening at once, Mu Rong had no time to spare.
After knowing that Xu Rongrong was coming to the farm, he thought for a moment and finally decided to let Mu Ai protect her in secret.
After receiving the order from his lord, Mu Ai followed from a distance.
Because of this, when the incident happened so suddenly, he had no time to take action and could only watch Xu Rongrong being carried away by the violent horse.
He hurriedly spurred his horse to catch up, and when he passed Wen Yao, he only had time to shout out four words: "Go find the Marquis!"
In this way, the two horses galloped towards Lie Mountain, one in front and one behind, and soon disappeared from sight.
Wen Yao gritted his teeth and limped towards the manor house.
Xu Rongrong's mount galloped at full speed and soon arrived at the foot of Lie Mountain.
The dark mountains did not daunt it. It snorted, roared, leaped onto the mountain path, and whizzed through the mountains and forests.
The road in the forest was bumpy and rugged, and Xu Rongrong felt dizzy.
The horse riding tips that I had memorized before were now forgotten.
The dead branches flying through the forest made it impossible for her to open her eyes. She bent down and hugged the horse's neck tightly, unable to make a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, the horse under him finally ran out of energy.
It let out a long roar, and suddenly knelt down with its front hooves. The huge inertia threw Xu Rongrong out.
The severe pain came and Xu Rongrong fainted.
……
When I woke up again, it was completely dark.
Night is coming.
Xu Rongrong sat up and moved her arms and legs. Perhaps it was because she was wearing too many clothes in winter, but apart from some scratches and bruises on her exposed arms, she was fine.
Even so, she gasped in pain.
She gritted her teeth, supported her body with her right hand, and slowly stood up while holding onto the big tree beside her.
I walked forward a few steps without knowing the direction, and vaguely saw a huge shadow lying motionless on the ground not far away. I thought it should be the body of the horse.
She walked over slowly. The horse lay dead among the branches and leaves, with dark red blood flowing from its mouth and emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
Xu Rongrong sniffed twice and then covered her mouth and nose - it must have died of poisoning.
Recalling what had just happened, Xu Rongrong's eyes dimmed: When did it get poisoned for no reason?
This horse was chosen by Mu Rong for her, so she thought there would be no problem. Besides, she had ridden it once before when Mu Rong took her out to hunt deer. The horse was docile and well-behaved, which suited her temperament very well.
When I came out of the house today, the horse was harnessed by Mrs. Xiao. It was as docile as usual when I led it out, without any abnormality.
When it reached the ridge of the field, although it was a little happy, it also obeyed her instructions and did not look like it was poisoned.
Just as she was about to turn her horse around and return to the farm, it suddenly behaved strangely.
But at that time, there was no one else beside her except Wen Yao. How did she get poisoned?
Xu Rongrong picked up some dry branches and weeds from nearby, tied them into torches, and then took out a tinderbox to light them.
Then, she suppressed her nausea and held a torch to carefully examine the body of the little white horse.
Finally, a small wound was found on the back of the horse, near the tail.
Judging from the shape, it looks like it was caused by a long, thin hidden weapon like a sleeve arrow. It must be man-made!
Someone wants to kill her!
Xu Rongrong quickly extinguished the torch.
Whoever it is, they must be looking for her at this moment, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.
What's more, if the horse's corpse is left here for a long time, it will definitely attract hungry wolves or wild beasts that have been unable to find food for a long time.
So, she took advantage of the moonlight and groped her way down the mountain.
No one had been seen on Lie Mountain for a long time, and the ground was covered with dead leaves. She walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, which was very difficult.
She didn't stop to rest until a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
She thought she had walked a long way, but when she looked back, she found that the place she was just in was still vaguely visible.
Xu Rongrong: "..."
It seemed that it would not be easy to get down the mountain quickly. As night fell, it was about to get colder. Winter nights in the mountains can be freezing.
She found a sheltered place, wrapped her cloak tightly around her, and picked up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, trying to make a temporary hiding place for herself with her arrows.
But as soon as she finished pulling away the branches and leaves in front of her, she was stunned.
Without the obstruction of dead branches and leaves, she could clearly see the tufts of red hair emerging from the ground...
She was ecstatic.
But it’s also a little unbelievable!
She bent down and kept comparing the red in front of her with the records in the book in her memory.
Finally, she was so excited that tears were about to flow:
Yuhong, I finally found you!
At this moment, what cold! What ferocious beast! What hungry wolf!
She had forgotten all about it. She crawled on the ground, prying up the fluffy grass bit by bit with her fingernails, then... tore off a whole piece and carefully put it into the medicine bag.
Then, continue...
……
As Mu Rong followed the traces of the galloping horses and galloped all the way.
What I saw was Xu Rongrong's selfless look.
The medicine bag around her waist was already full and bulging, unable to hold anything else.
So she took off her cloak, spread it on the ground, turned over new dead branches and leaves, and picked at the red grass underneath.
When Mu Rong saw this scene, his heart, which had been out of control, fell back into his chest. He was anxious and angry: "Can't you just stay in the house obediently? Do you know that you are almost scaring me to death!"
Xu Rongrong ignored him and continued with her somewhat mechanical movements. "Rongrong..." Mu Rong called out twice more.
Finally, he realized something was wrong and pulled Xu Rongrong up.
The girl's face was already red from the cold, and her body was also a little shaky. What frightened him even more was her gaze...
Full of confusion and distraction.
"Rongrong! What's wrong with you!" Mu Rong called her desperately, but the girl seemed to be deaf to his words.
The heart that had fallen back into his chest was lifted up again. He hugged Xu Rongrong tightly in his arms: "I won't say anything about you, Rongrong, don't scare me."
Under normal circumstances, she would have started to resist long ago.
But now, he is unusually well-behaved.
Mu Rong's heart sank to the bottom again in an instant.
He looked at the girl's bewildered face, quickly took off his cloak, wrapped her tightly, picked her up and ran down the mountain.
The girl's fair face was buried in her cloak, and her eyes were still empty.
