Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The roar of the tiger echoed throughout the valley.

The emperor was so frightened that he returned to the tent non-stop, and the imperial guards surrounded him one after another, looking nervously at the forest.

The howling of tigers one after another, and the startled birds all showed what happened in the woods.

The emperor stood nervously behind Li Dehai, wishing everyone could stand in front of him.

After a while, the tiger roar suddenly disappeared.

The forest also returned to calm again. A team of imperial guards quickly led people into the forest to check. Seeing the messy horseshoe prints and the tiger's paw prints, their faces became ugly.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed tigers in the woods."

Hearing the squad leader's report, the emperor's face turned pale and green again.

"Didn't it mean that this valley has been cleaned up long ago, and there are no beasts?" The emperor kicked the captain away angrily, and said angrily, "How do you all do things?"

He looked around, and found that he was the only one who was the most frightened, almost losing face, and couldn't stop his killing intent.

At this moment, Jiang Taifu strode out from the crowd: "The emperor calms down, the most urgent thing is to ensure your safety. As for why the tiger appeared..."

He looked around, but didn't see that figure, and a thought emerged.

"Where is Commander Xie?" Jiang Taifu frowned displeasedly, and said in a deep voice, "He is the deputy commander of the capital personally appointed by the emperor, and should personally protect the emperor. Why didn't you see him at such a critical moment? Could it be that he was hiding somewhere? gone?"

Hearing this, the emperor also narrowed his eyes, subconsciously looking in Pei Anlin's direction.

It's just that on Pei Anlin's bearded face, there was no abnormality at all.

Jiang Taifu was furious, and the imperial guards dared not answer: "The commander said that he would go to patrol the forest, lest any beasts that were missed appear and hurt the emperor's dragon body."

The emperor nodded secretly. He really wanted to do this. The tiger that suddenly appeared today is a perfect example.

"Since we are on patrol, why is there still a beast? It's still a huge tiger!" Taifu Jiang said sharply, "It must be because he was slacking off that such a big omission occurred."

When Pei Anlin heard this, he was furious.

Cleaning up the hunting grounds is the work of another team of forbidden troops. Even if a tiger appears, it has nothing to do with Xie Yan. feast.

He glanced at Jiang Taifu coldly, raised his head and was about to go to the emperor and have a good talk.

But the eldest princess stopped him at this moment, and winked to the right: "The thank you banquet is here."

When Pei Anlin heard this, he immediately looked to the right.

A thick bloody smell pervaded the entire camp, and the calm woods began to fluctuate again, and the birds were startled one by one.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the place with the most movement, each one dumbfounded.

"This...could it be the tiger just now?"

"Commander Xie actually hunted back a tiger!"

Jiang Taifu saw clearly the tall and straight figure of the leader, and his face instantly became ugly.

How could it be him?

Xie Yan was carrying the tiger's body with one hand, and whose blood was stained on his face, which added a bit of hostility to this handsome and fair face.

The ladies onlookers looked at it, their eyes following Xie Yan all the time.

The unmarried ladies have to restrain themselves a lot, but they will cast a shy and excited look at Xie Yan from time to time.

Under these gazes, Xie Yan walked to the emperor calmly but firmly.

"Just now when I heard the roar of the tiger, I led people to hunt it down, but the escort came late, and I begged the emperor to forgive me."

The emperor looked at the tiger's body, his face turned pale, but he was excited: "You hunted this tiger?"

"It was our commander who killed it! There were two arrows in total, one blinded the tiger's eyes, and the other passed through the tiger's eyes!" Yue Rong said loudly, "We saw it with our own eyes!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the forbidden soldiers brought by Xie Yan echoed one after another, and the echoes were extremely sincere, full of respect for Xie Yan.

Jiang Taifu was overturned halfway through the game, and his face was extremely ugly.

He didn't want to let Xie Yan go, so he winked at the people around him, and immediately someone knelt down and impeached Xie Yan: "Your Majesty, even if Commander Xie hunts a tiger, it can't cover up his crime of dereliction of duty." ! As the deputy capital commander, he should follow the emperor and protect the emperor's safety, instead of hunting tigers for credit."

Xie Yan lowered her phoenix eyes, and coldly glanced at the person kneeling on the ground.

"According to Qin Yushi's words, I killed this tiger for merit?" Xie Yan's thin lips curled up slightly, and he said with a sneer, "Qin Yushi's ability to talk nonsense, the officials really admire."

As he said that, he bowed deeply to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please be aware that I led a patrol today to protect your safety, but during the patrol, I found a tiger chasing the Gu family. The eldest lady ran away, seeing that the eldest lady of the Gu family was about to die, the minister had no choice but to save her with an arrow."

The guards around him knelt down and explained.

"That's right, you can't just ignore death!"

"It's clear that he saved someone, so how come these civil officials say it's credit for it?"

"Civilian officials are full of thoughts, but they are not on the right path."

The emperor appreciated Xie Yan, even if Xie Yan really went to hunt the tiger for credit, since he was able to bring the tiger's body back, it was enough to prove his ability, and there was proof from the imperial army, he was so cautious about Qin Yushi. I can't even look down on it.

"I also think Xie Aiqing is young and promising." The emperor smiled, "He is a rare talent, Qin Yushi, can you kill a tiger with two arrows?"

The emperor's cold words made Qin Yushi's back soaked in cold sweat.

He didn't dare to say any more, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I can't do it."

"Since you can't do it, don't talk nonsense here." The emperor glanced at him angrily, "I haven't spoken yet, why are you so anxious to convict Xie Yan?"

"I know my mistake." Qin Yushi said hastily.

The emperor never looked at him again. Contrary to this indifferent attitude, he patted Xie Yan's shoulder with relief: "Good job, not only can you save Miss Gu's family, but also get rid of this harm. It's really young and capable." Why! From now on on the battlefield, you must be as heroic as you are today!"

"The humble minister will definitely not disgrace his life!" Xie Yan replied loudly.

The emperor laughed heartily, walked around in front of the huge tiger's corpse several times, and kept nodding his head in praise of Xie Yan. Anyone could see his appreciation for Xie Yan, and many people who were hiding their thoughts focused their attention on When it came to Xie Yan.

Pei Anlin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

He left the crowd together with the Eldest Princess, with an ugly look on his face: "Mother, if this continues, Xie Yan will be at the Emperor's..."

"He's a smart kid, and it's more beneficial to know what to do, so you don't have to worry." The eldest princess patted the back of his hand, "Besides, the emperor is stupid, and his prestige in the court is not as good as before. Just wait until he gets rid of Jiang himself." Home, the country of Chu...is about to change hands."

It is common for the emperor to have no talent or virtue, and he is greedy for the beauty of his ministers' wives, so it is common for them to be taken into the palace by force. Those ministers whose wives were taken away by him were all sent to miserable places like Lingnan or Yuezhou He is not allowed to return to Beijing for life, and the minister who is favored in the capital treats him respectfully and respectfully on the surface, but who doesn't have a trace of uneasiness in his heart, who knows if he will be the next person to have his wife taken away?

What's more, these days, disasters have been happening all over the state of Chu, and people's anger is endless, but a group of officials headed by the Jiang family ignore the people's grievances and fight against dissidents with one heart, so as to turn the court of Chu into their own.

The king is fatuous and the people complain, all of them are signs of subjugation.

The more capable Xie Yan is, the more convincing he is. Once he succeeds in the future, regaining that position will be a powerful cornerstone for him to consolidate his position.

The Eldest Princess had a calm attitude and did not regard the emperor's favor for Xie Yan as a scourge.

Seeing her attitude, Pei Anlin sighed quietly: "No matter what your plan is, my son will send Anyang and Ning'er to Yuezhou when the time comes."

"It's fine to send them to Yuezhou." The eldest princess nodded slowly, "Even if the incident fails, they still have a way to survive."

"Since that's the case, then the matter of Gu Zhiyuan can't be delayed any longer." The eldest princess said with sharp eyes, "Send that mother and child to the capital, and peel off Gu Zhiyuan's layer of skin!"

"Mother, don't worry, the people I sent to Yuezhou have been guarding the mother and son for a long time." Pei Anlin cheered up, "I'll let someone do it!"

Not far away, Gu Ning emerged from the woods.

She was carrying the most important map, and she was in a very happy mood. Seeing the eldest princess and Pei Anlin looking at her from afar, she had a bright smile on her face, lifted her skirt and ran towards them.

"Grandmother! Uncle! Why are you here?"

There was a smile on her brow and eyes, and she walked briskly in front of the two of them.

The eldest princess heaved a sigh of relief, but she did not forget to take a good look at her. Seeing that her clothes were in good condition, she was relieved: "I heard that Gu Qingqiu met a tiger, and Xie Yan saved her."

Gu Ning nodded: "Yeah, she was riding a crazy horse at the time, and it directly drove her off the cliff. If there were not many trees growing on the edge of the cliff, maybe her life would have died gone."

The eldest princess didn't speak for a long time, she stared at Gu Ning and spoke abruptly.

"You did it?"

Gu Ning coughed a few times and quickly waved his hands: "You think highly of me, I just happened to pass by."

With that said, Gu Ning moved closer to the Eldest Princess and whispered, "I guess Jiang Ruzhu did it."

"The second young lady of the Jiang family?" The eldest princess frowned, and immediately understood, and said disgustedly, "For Chu Yunyi again?"

Gu Ning nodded: "I found this in the woods."

As she spoke, Chunyu wisely took out Gu Qingqiu's outer garment that was thrown on the way, and explained: "This was thrown on the way by Miss Gu, the maidservant has checked it, and there is animal attractant powder on it. "

"The hearts of the Jiang family are exactly the same." The eldest princess snorted coldly, "In a hunting ground full of wild animals, such a trap was set, even if there was no tiger that suddenly appeared, just a few small ones Wild beasts are enough to seriously injure Gu Qingqiu."

Gu Ning agreed very much: "You are right, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the rapid sound of horseshoes stopped beside her.

Chu Yunyi stared at Gu Ning angrily, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are Qingqiu's clothes here!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to grab Gu Ning, but was stopped by Chunyu.

"You poisonous woman! You actually tried your best to harm Qingqiu!" Chu Yunyi gritted his teeth and scolded, "You and I have already broken off the engagement, why do you still chase after Qingqiu?"

Gu Ning rolled his eyes, and slapped Chu Yunyi on the face.

"I should be the one who said that!" Gu Ning said coldly, "We have already broken off our engagement, why are you still pestering me? Gu Qingqiu blamed me for crying, and blamed me for getting hurt. If you sneeze or fall on the road, blame me?"
