Chapter 46 Digging a Trap
Because they had known about the existence of the cliff in advance, Yun Shu and his group deliberately paid more attention to the small paths without forks when they were climbing the mountain.
As for Yun Shu himself, he continued to repeat the words of the guard just now:
"You just said that you are familiar with this hunting ground?"
"Yes."
The guard said honestly:
“The hunting ground is large and there are always many dangerous places.
On weekdays when the masters are not here, our task is to walk through every corner of the hunting ground and memorize it by heart.
When the masters come, we will be assigned to their side and lead the way for them."
"I see."
Looking around casually, Yun Shu asked casually as if on impulse:
“Is there any hidden cave on this mountain?
I've read in storybooks before that many protagonists accidentally fell off a cliff and fell into a cave, where they found a particularly powerful martial arts secret manual!"
"How powerful?"
Before the guard could answer, Yun Chuhuan, who accidentally picked up an ear, became excited:
"Can I defeat Tang Muzhi?"
Yun Shu: “?”
She turned her head in confusion:
"Does your cousin have a grudge against you?"
"without……"
It was just a casual question, but she didn't expect Yun Chuhuan to be so hesitant as if he was really hiding something that she didn't know about.
With the tip of her eyebrows raised slightly, Yun Shu skillfully used the move of "100% seduction of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince" -
"Want to eat hot pot? It's really delicious!"
Yun Chuhuan: “…”
"It's really nothing."
Yun Chuhuan, who usually looks like a cocky kid, now looks particularly shy.
The look of a shy young wife gave Yun Shu goosebumps, but at the same time, she suddenly had an idea -
"Could it be... because Cen Yiyi praised my cousin's kung fu last time?"
"certainly not!"
Yun Chuhuan subconsciously retorted, and after he said it, he probably realized that he was too excited and his intentions were exposed.
He pounded the saddle in annoyance, his face full of displeasure:
"I just feel that that idiot Cen Yiyi always praises everyone she meets, but never says anything good about me. I just feel a little unhappy about it!"
"Pfft~"
I originally wanted to save some face for the child and not be too obvious.
Unfortunately, Yun Shu had not received any special training, and his ability to hold back his laughter was quite poor, so he laughed out loud on the spot.
"what's so funny!"
Yun Chuhuan became even more unhappy:
"I am the son of my father, the emperor. How can I be worse than others?
That Cen Yiyi has no vision at all!"
"Well, you are right."
Yun Shu nodded seriously.
I never expected that when Yun Chuhuan was in the study, he was always looking down on Cen Yiyi. It turned out that it was because people praised everyone but didn't praise him?
Tsk, according to Yun Chuhuan's arrogant character, if things continue to develop like this,
I’m afraid that the plot of chasing my wife to the crematorium ten years later will be even more difficult than the original plot!
She can reserve the best seat for watching the melons in advance!
The malicious man didn't speak to wake up the little fool. Yun Shu happily skipped the topic.
Looking back at the guard from before:
"So is there any cave in this mountain?"
"Yes." The guard had not expected that the Fifth Princess' topic would go around in circles and finally come back to the topic.
He scratched his head and pointed in a direction honestly:
"There is a small cave over there, but we have been there many times before, and we can be sure that there are absolutely no martial arts secrets in it."
"That's right, I forgot you've been everywhere."
Pretending to sigh with regret, Yun Shu quietly moved the reins and controlled the pony under him to move towards the direction of the cave.
In the original plot, the white "divine deer" used to lure the prince was originally hidden in a cave.
In other words, in the original book, the path that the "divine deer" was about to lead the prince on must be near the cave!
"Fifth Princess, the cave is over there."
We walked forward for about a quarter of an hour.
The guard suddenly said:
"Would you like to go take a look?"
"No need for that. Didn't they say there weren't any martial arts secrets in it?"
Are you kidding? If I go there at this time, what if I run into the eldest prince's men?
Isn't that just forcing others to take action against them?
Yun Shu shook his head decisively:
"Let's continue looking for a path without any forks. Once we find one, we can prepare two more traps. Who knows, we might be able to catch a brown bear or a tiger?
Then won't we be able to directly take first place in this autumn hunt?"
Guard: "..."
That must be impossible.
Fierce beasts such as brown bears and tigers have long been driven to the wild animal area, and only those who are very confident in their hunting skills will go there.
If such a ferocious beast could appear in any place, what would happen if it accidentally hurt your precious person?
But he should not say such spoiling words.
I lowered my head obediently and continued to follow the path that Yunshu mentioned.
Another quarter of an hour later, he couldn't help but say:
"Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, the path we are walking on now seems to have no forks."
"is it?"
Yun Shu recalled:
"It seems to be true!"
"So are we going to dig a trap?"
Yun Chuhuan pulled the reins and excitedly turned around to greet the other guards:
"Hurry up and get off your horse with your stuff! Dig one right here first!"
"Yes!"
Several guards quickly got off their horses and started working with shovels.
In just a few moments, a pit more than one meter deep was dug.
"Fifth Princess, is this size okay?"
"It has to be deeper and bigger!"
It's still a deer after all.
Yun Shu's impression of deer is that they have long, thin legs and can jump long distances with a light leap.
It’s just a small pit, and you still want to catch a deer?
What a fuss!
Yun Shu shook his head, and before he could speak again,
Yun Chuhuan, who was standing by, rebuked him with a sullen face:
"Didn't you hear what my fifth sister just said?
This is a pit for catching brown bears and tigers! It’s such a small place, do you think you can fit a bear’s butt in there or something?”
Guards: "..."
It is really impossible for there to be brown bears and tigers here!
But what can be done?
Since the young masters insist, they have to keep digging!
