"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li was out of breath, as if he had come running all the way.

"What happened?" Duanmu was a little displeased. When did Eunuch Li, who always knows how to measure, make such a fuss.

"Your Majesty, yesterday's prey are all, all, gone!" Panting badly, it was hard for Eunuch Li to explain clearly.

"What does it mean that it's gone?" Duanmulu instantly remembered the two dead tigers that disappeared.

"Because they were worried that the prey might rot, the royal chefs prepared to use those edible animals as meals this morning, but they found that all the prey that had been filled had disappeared." Thinking of a group of people standing in astonishment Staring blankly there, Eunuch Li felt as if he was doing it, why did all the good things disappear?What the hell.

"That's right! Let's forget about this matter. When someone asked, he said that he was worried about the corruption of the prey and had already dealt with it." Duan Muzhen decisively came to a conclusion.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li has been following Duanmu for decades, and he knows what to say and what not to say.

"How was the investigation of yesterday's matter?" Eunuch Li withdrew from the account, and An Chen immediately appeared.

"The subordinates did not find any bloodstains around. It may be that someone has already disposed of the corpse on the spot, or someone transported the corpse away with a strong insulator, but there are no footprints around, and no one complains. So much effort was just to remove the two tigers' corpses. Therefore, the first possibility is relatively high, it should be that something disposed of the two tigers in place, and most likely they were eaten." An Chen Report your own investigation in detail and analyze it.

"And, if it's correct, those prey may have been swallowed by something, and it may be the same guy." Combined with the situation this morning, An Chen made a further hypothesis.

"Starting from today, strengthen the security of the camp and find that thing for me!" After hearing An Chen's words, Duanmu was very excited. One time completely provoked Duanmu's warlike psychology.Duanmu's eyes burst out with a look of excitement.

"Yes!" As soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared.

"Come here!" Duanmuxi suddenly had another calculation in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li, who was waiting outside the tent, came in immediately when he heard the summons.

"Call Ning'er here!" Duan Muze knew that this was an opportunity, a chance for Duan Mu Ning to stand up again.

"My son sees my father! I don't know why my father is looking for my son?" Duanmu Ning still looked unfazed, but he knew very well in his heart that according to Duanmu's love for him, the crown prince and even the throne would be his. .

"Do you know about the disappearance of all the prey you got yesterday?" Duanmuxi didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point when he came up.

"I've heard about it, but there's something strange about it." As the most likely heir to the throne, Duanmu Ning didn't just rely on Duanmu's favor.

"Since you know, then I'll leave this matter to you, and let me investigate what's going on." Duan Muxi not only asked the dark guard to investigate this matter, but also asked Duan Mu Ning to investigate this matter.

The reason for the dark guard to investigate is because Duanmu Ning himself knew it was strange just in case, and the reason for Duanmuning to investigate is to let Duanmuning make contributions to establish his prestige, and also to investigate how capable Duanmuning is and whether he can be the crown prince. .Duanmu Ning was loved by Duanmu, but he would not joke about the Duanmu Dynasty. Choosing a qualified heir is a very important thing in an emperor's life.

"My son takes orders!" Duanmu Ning didn't say much, and accepted it directly.

Although Duanmu ordered that the prey be disposed of, it still attracted everyone's attention and eagerly discussed in private.Some people feel fear, some people are eager to try to find that thing out, and some people think it's just that the prey disappears and it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't eat people.

In the next few days of hunting, many young gentlemen ran deep into the forest, trying to test their tone to see if they could run into that thing.Some of the more daring ones directly wanted to set a trap and wait.They spent a day hunting, and then by evening they circled all their prey somewhere in the outskirts of the forest, and then lay in ambush not far away with weapons.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!—" Eunuch Li yelled as he ran, even more yelling than last time. Duanmu was in the tent and heard Eunuch Li yelling from far away, and his heart became even more displeased, and his brows frowned even more Tuan, "What's the noise! ​​What a shame to shout!"

"The emperor forgives the sin! The emperor forgives the sin! The emperor forgives the sin!" Eunuch Li heard Duanmu's voice as soon as he entered the imperial tent, and he knew that Duanmu was in an extremely unhappy situation, and this displeasure might be because of him As soon as his knees were bent, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Seeing Eunuch Li kowtow non-stop, with blood oozing from his forehead, Duanmu couldn't bear it. After all, he had been with him for so many years, "What's the matter?"

"The guards heard the screams just now, and after looking for them, they found that the second son of the general's family, the young prince of Prince Yu's mansion, the eldest son of Chen Shangshu, and the second lady of the right minister were unconscious in the forest. It's like going crazy." Eunuch Li immediately reported the matter to Duanmu in a concise manner.

"What are they doing in the woods so late!" For the four of them unconscious, Duanmuxi didn't show any worry at all.Participation in hunting is voluntary, and if you act willfully without knowing what is good or bad, you may die at any time.Still wandering around in the forest so late, it can be said that this kind of fate is what they asked for.

"They set up a trap in the forest to catch that prey-eating thing, so they—" Eunuch Li also felt very ashamed.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Although Duanmu had no feeling, he still wanted to ask on the surface.

"The imperial doctor said that they were overly frightened and stimulated, and they may get better after recuperating slowly." The other part of the imperial doctor did not say, and Eunuch Li knew what it meant: it might get better, and it also meant that they might be so crazy for a lifetime.

"And what's in their mouths are 'birds!', 'birds!', 'birds!'." After the four people were woken up by the imperial doctor, the four people kept shouting birds, birds, Moreover, they all huddled into a ball, with a terrified expression, as if something would come to kill them at any time.

"Bird?" Duanmu muttered playfully in his mouth.Could it be that that thing is a bird?But what kind of bird could scare those four daredevils into that?

"Your Majesty! The Eldest Prince seeks to see you!" It seemed that Duanmu Ning had also received the news.

"Xuan!" Duanmu Ning wanted to know which step Duanmu Ning had found.

"Son, please pay respects to Emperor Father!" Duanmu Ning strictly abided by etiquette, he was obedient before and after, and there was no arrogance at all.

"I wonder what's the matter with Ning'er?" Duanmu Ning was very satisfied with Duanmu Ning's performance.

"My son got the news that just now the second son of the general's family, the young prince of Prince Yu's mansion, the eldest son of Chen Shangshu, and the second lady of the right prime minister have gone crazy, and they all called 'bird' in their mouths. My son suspected these things It's all related to birds." Duanmuning is not stupid either.

"Then what does the emperor want to do?" Duanmuning nodded with appreciation in his eyes.

"Birds are not easy to catch. A bird that can frighten four people like this is not an ordinary bird. I think I should find out what kind of bird it is first. Then act according to the situation!" Duanmu would rather not be like those four people who didn't know It's as easy as life and death to set up an ambush to catch birds.

"Okay, just do as the emperor said, I will give you the free dispatch of a team of imperial forest troops. I must get rid of that bird!" Duanmu Ning is looking forward to what kind of results Duanmu Ning can handle. .

"Thank you, Father! My servants lead the decree!" The Imperial Forest Army is all elites, and Duanmuning's actions are even more powerful after being given the right to dispatch a pair of Imperial Forest Army.

"Dark morning!" As soon as Duanmu Ning stepped out of the imperial tent, Duanmu called out the dark guards.

"The subordinate is here!" An Chen still moved quickly as before, "The subordinate found many traces of broken branches on the trees around the camp, and there were also many broken branches around the place where the tiger said by the fourth prince died. From From these traces, the size of this bird is very large! It is not clear where the nest of this bird is, and it is not clear whether it is one or a group!" One is still difficult to deal with, if it comes so A flock of giant birds would be a big problem.

"Moreover, the size of this bird is beyond ordinary people's imagination. This subordinate guesses why the bird has become so huge. As for the reason, my subordinates have not found out yet." Duanmuxi didn't speak, Anchen just Can go on.

"My subordinates speculate that if this bird has somehow become enormously large, there are likely to be other animals that have changed for the same reason, but it is not at all clear how many of this size will be in the hunting grounds. animal."

After An Chen's report, she still didn't hear any expression from Duan Muchen, so she could only kneel there motionless.

"Continue to investigate!" An Chen only heard such a sentence, and had no choice but to continue to explore the unknown world.

But Duanmulu twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly, "Things are getting more and more interesting!"

On the other side, in Duanmuze's prince's tent, while listening to Morey's report, Duanmuze caressed the ice doll and fantasized about what Shang was doing in the Shadow Pavilion.It just went in one ear and out the other, and I couldn't hear what Morey said.

"Your Highness!" Morey yelled unbearably when he saw that his master, who was usually wise and mighty, was actually in a nympho.
