Qin Yining's horse was a tall yellow horse with a quiver on its saddle. There were thirty arrows in it, and her bow was the same half-stone bow that A Nari used.
Hunting was not a problem for Qin Yining. In her early years, she relied on hunting to survive in the mountains. At first, she would set traps to catch small animals, and identify herbs and wild vegetables. When she was older, she would go to the market at the foot of the mountain to sell some mushrooms and herbs in exchange for some money. She knew that there were people who bought furs, so she followed some hunters and learned some hunting skills and common knowledge.
Although she lived a carefree life for three years, she would not forget the skills she learned. However, shooting arrows while riding a horse was difficult. If she stood on the ground, it would be much easier.
However, Qin Yining did not want to overdo it. Her existence had already caused A Nari to fall into a vat of vinegar. If she showed her talent in hunting, A Nari would probably be angered to death. She only held the bow for self-protection.
Obviously, Lu Heng had the same thoughts as her. He also held the bow and reins with one hand as he followed Qin Yining.
Outside of the capital, there was a vast and boundless grassland.
In the October weather, the grass was yellow and there was frost on it. Occasionally, there would be patches of neat but sparse pine trees. The sky was full of clouds, forming a faint fog on the mountains in the distance. Even breathing seemed to be particularly humid.
The group of people ran for half an hour and arrived at the foot of a large mountain. Most of the trees on the mountain were pine and cypress trees unique to the cold north. Compared to the sparse trees on the way here, the trees here were particularly tall.
A Nari waved her hand and everyone stopped.
"We will hunt here! Let's see who has the most game! "
"Yes!"
Everyone, including the guards who rode their horses here, as well as the slaves who had been driven all the way here, all followed Anami into the woods, and scattered into several groups, walking on tiptoe.
Qin Yining and Lu Heng spontaneously walked beside Si Qin.
When A Nari saw that Qin Yining was' shamelessly 'clinging onto Si Qin, he was so angry that his face turned red. He was not in a hurry to hunt his prey, so he turned around and followed beside Si Qin.
Qin Yining quietly observed the surrounding terrain and did not make a move.
A Nari, on the other hand, was showing off his skills. Sometimes he would kill a pheasant, and sometimes he would chase after a hare.
After traveling through the pine forest for a while, A Nari felt bored. "We're not lucky today. We only got these. Why don't we ride outside?"
Si Qin originally wanted to make A Nari happy, so naturally she could say whatever she wanted. She whistled and called for everyone to leave the pine forest and return to where the slaves were guarding the horses. Everyone returned to their horses and began to search the grassland again.
After going around a gentle slope, they saw a herd of wild gazelles.
A Nari was interested and urged her horse to charge forward. The gazelles looked up in shock and ran away when they saw the people coming.
A Nari liked the feeling of being chased like this. She led her men and chased after them, shouting. Who knew that when the group of people chased over a slope, the herd of gazelles that were running in front suddenly panicked and ran away in all directions.
"It's a pack of wolves! Khan, it's a pack of wolves! "
The men shouted loudly.
A Nari excitedly said, "It just so happens that Ben Khan thinks that hunting gazelles is boring. Let's catch a few wolves to play with!"
A Nari thought for a while and suddenly had an idea. She stopped her horse and stood on a high ground to look at the fleeing gazelles. She smiled at Qin Yining and said, "Ben Khan has heard that Da Zhou's Prince Zhongshun is very brave. He is Da Zhou's God of War, Wang Ye. Even Wang Fei is a heroine and a rare talent. Wang Fei must have learned a lot from Prince Zhongshun. Go down and show us your skills."
As soon as she said this, Lu Heng was shocked and his expression changed. Before Qin Yining could speak, he stood in front of her and said in a low voice,
"Khan, please take back your order! Our Da Zhou is different from your country's customs. Women don't pay attention to learning how to ride and shoot. Wang Fei is a lady from a noble family. How can she fight against wolves? Not to mention Wang Fei, even the men of your country may not be able to fight against a pack of wolves. With Khan's order, it's hard to avoid suspicion of murder. "
A Nari was trying to murder! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that.
But she wanted to do it! This was Tatan land and she was the ruler of this country. That meant that she could do whatever she wanted. If she wanted someone to live, they would live. If she wanted someone to die, they would die!
Seeing Lu Heng so nervous that he jumped out to help Qin Yining, A Nari was unhappy. She sneered and said, "It's you again! Surnamed Lu, what's your relationship with Prince Zhongshun's Consort? Why are you always interrupting her every time something happens? "
At this point, A Nari deliberately raised her voice and said in a surprised tone, "Aiya, don't tell me that you two are in that kind of relationship? Surnamed Qin, you're really shameless. You dare to flirt with another man in front of everyone. Even if you don't care about your face, your husband does! "
Qin Yining clenched the bow in her hand tightly. Her fists and knuckles turned white.
A Nari had repeatedly slandered and provoked her. She really couldn't stand it anymore.
Qin Yining suddenly drew two arrows. She took two steps forward and took aim. She pulled the half-stone bow into a full moon shape.
At the bottom of the hill, the yellow sheep were scattered by the wolves.
The wild wolves were very smart and disciplined. They only killed a few sheep when they were driving them. A very strong adult gray wolf howled a few times, and the rest of the wild wolves cooperated and tried to drive the whole flock of sheep in one direction.
Qin Yining pointed the sharp tip of the arrow at the alpha wolf. After she steadied her mind and took aim, she released an arrow with a whoosh.
The wolf was very sensitive. It immediately sensed the danger and tried to dodge. However, Qin Yining's arrow had already arrived and hit its hind leg.
The alpha wolf howled and ran two steps with a limp. Then, it viciously looked in the direction of the arrow. When it saw Qin Yining nocking the arrow, it immediately bared its fangs and barked a few times.
However, the second arrow in Qin Yining's hand had arrived at this time and hit the head wolf again. The ferocious male wolf fell to the ground and blood flowed on the grass.
"Good!"
"Good archery!"
Lu Heng and Si Qin cheered at the same time. Even the guards and slaves who came with them couldn't help but look at Qin Yining. They didn't expect that such a delicate beauty could take down the alpha wolf with two arrows.
A Nari was so angry that her face turned red. She only wanted Qin Yining to lose her life and feed the wolves. She wanted her to go down and fight the wolves alone, but who knew that she would be so cunning!
"Khan," Qin Yining smiled and said, "The alpha wolf is injured. Khan, please let them open a gap and let the rest of the wolves leave."
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to command Ben Khan? Ben Khan must kill these wolves. Not a single one can be left alive! You! "
A Nari gritted her teeth and pointed at the group of slaves behind her. Then, she coldly pointed at the wolves and said, "Go, capture all the wolves for Ben Khan!"
When Qin Yining heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She rebuked, "What does Khan think his subjects are? Livestock that you can order around as you please! Look at these people. There are old and weak people, women and children. How can you be so cruel as to let them capture the wolves alive? You are sending them to their deaths! "
A Nari was furious. She glared at Qin Yining and waved her hand at the guards and attendants beside her.
These people immediately understood and rushed into the group of slaves with horsewhips. They drove the group of people towards the wolves. A few people who refused to go obediently were killed on the spot.
The screams of the slaves were filled with despair. They could only follow the orders of the guards and rush down with their eyes closed. It was as if they wanted to end this miserable and hopeless life.
In the pack of wolves that had lost their leader, another wolf had taken the place of the previous one. They seemed to be anxious to avenge their leader. Seeing so many people rushing over, they were not afraid at all. They ignored the yellow goats and rushed towards the slaves while howling.
The slaves were all unarmed. They had to work every day and did not have enough to eat. No matter how noble their status was in the past and how noble their treatment was, they were now all skin and bones. In addition, they had been running behind the group of horses and were running on their feet. Their physical strength had long reached its limit.
Under the furious attacks of the wild wolves, people quickly fell, and the frightened yellow goats ran away while bleating.
Qin Yining was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. "Khan! Please take back your order! Does Khan not want to accumulate merit? You are harming the people like this. Are you not afraid of being punished by the heavens? "
"Punished by the heavens? It is the will of the heavens for Ben Khan to be able to sit in this position. How can there be any punishment from the heavens? Even if there is, Ben Khan does not care about it! Look for yourself. Did those people die unjustly? They did not die unjustly! There are so many people. If the wolves can't even deal with them, how can they serve under Ben Khan? They are lowly slaves after all. They are not worthy of serving Ben Khan! They deserve to die! "
Qin Yining was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded, "I should have called all of you Tatan people. You are the Khan. Do you only want to enjoy life like King Zhou of Shang and not care about the lives of others?"
"Shut up!" A Nari angrily raised her hand and whipped at Qin Yining's face.
Qin Yining's reaction was very fast. When she saw A Nari raise her hand, she already wanted to dodge. However, her health was not good recently and she did not have enough energy. She wanted to dodge, but her body did not listen to her and she almost fell.
Seeing the whip flying towards her, Lu Heng did not care about anything else and grabbed the whip.
"Khan, please calm down!"
Lu Heng was born rich and came from the main branch of the Lu family. He had been in business for a long time and thought that he had seen all kinds of people. However, he did not expect to see such a cruel and inhumane person today.
One end of A Nari's whip was tightly grasped by Lu Heng. She tugged at it twice, but Lu Heng had no intention of letting go.
At this time, more slaves were being bitten by the wolves. Screams and cries could be heard.
A Nari wanted to tell Qin Yining that in her territory, disobeying her would only result in this. She even wanted Qin Yining to be eaten by the wolves.
