Zhi Xuan

Most of the spring pools are soaked in blood, with red waves, and it will take time to restore clarity.

Zhixuan got off his horse and walked through several places, focusing on observing the springs where schools of fish gathered, and found that the wart corpses that fell into the springs had been bitten clean, leaving only a layer of fur wrapped around the white bones.

There are three similar springs, and there are no less than a thousand small fishes.

Zhixuan summoned a soldier and gave serious instructions. The latter took the order and returned quickly with his slaves. He made simple fences with felled trees and erected them beside the three springs to prevent people from entering by mistake.

The rest of the springs are normal, if the spring water is not still red, Zhi Xuan would like to go down and soak for a while.It would be better if Zhao Hao could be brought in.

The beauties take a bath together, and the lotus comes out of the water. It is very exciting to think about it.

Probably because Zhi Xuan's eyes were too hot, Zhao Hao, who was being stared at, noticed something, and almost lost his footing when he dismounted.When he turned his head, the instigator had already withdrawn his gaze and continued to inspect the hot spring as if nothing had happened.

The battle between wolves and male tigers is not over yet.

The medicine bag Zhi Xuan threw was specially made by the witch doctor, and it was extremely effective against wild animals like tigers and leopards.It was originally prepared for the tigers in the fief. I didn't want to have twists and turns in the middle, and the matter was delayed again and again, and it has never been used.

This time I came to the forest to search for hot springs, and by chance, I used it on this male tiger.

The wolves surrounded the male tiger and blocked the opponent's way, but they did not attack immediately.

The male tiger had a full stomach and couldn't bear the temptation of the medicine package, but he never dared to relax his vigilance.

The wolves were dominant in number, the male tigers were huge, and they were evenly matched with each other. For a while, they fell into a stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other.

The soldiers guarded behind the wolves, ready to deal with the attack of the male tiger at any time.

There are rumors in the tribe that there is an evil god in this forest who can eat people.Legend has it that there is a group of monkeys, so the tiger must be innocent.

The medicine package was torn open, and the medicine powder was scattered all over the place, blown away by the cold wind, and the efficacy of the medicine gradually weakened.

After the temptation disappeared, the male tiger became extremely ferocious, its roar resounded through the forest, full of bloodthirsty rage.

Realizing that the male tiger was about to attack, the wolves roared in unison, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they bared their sharp fangs, tacitly narrowing the encirclement, looking for an opportunity to bite.

Seeing this, Zhi Xuan left the spring, took off the crossbow from the horse's back, put it on the arrow box again, and aimed at the male tiger opposite.

Tigers are difficult to tame, especially as adults.Even with the witch doctor around, he is not very sure that he can tame a full-grown male tiger.If you can't tame it, you can only keep it in a cage. It has no other use except for viewing. It is a waste of meat.

Zhi Xuan is not Nan Youhou, so he can't understand the other party's habit of building animal gardens.

If you can't raise it and you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain, you can only shoot it.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xuan couldn't help thinking in his heart, in his previous life, he would definitely be quite a judge if he dared to do this.

Zhi Xuan raised his crossbow and aimed at the male tiger in the encirclement.

The beast's intuition is so keen, the male tiger sensed the danger, raised his head and roared, grabbed the ground with all four claws, and jumped up suddenly, trying to rush out of the encirclement.

The wolves in the front were forced to retreat, and the encirclement appeared to be broken.

The male tiger continued to charge forward, and when the tiger's claws were about to slap a wild wolf, the sound of breaking wind came suddenly.

The sharp crossbow bolts were nailed to the male tiger's body, two of them pierced through the male tiger's eyes and penetrated into the male tiger's head, causing blood to splatter immediately.

"color!"

The armored soldiers cheered in unison, affirming that Zhixuan's archery skills are superb.Counting arrows in a row, the arrows hit the target, and the shooting skills are wonderful.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Amidst the applause, the seriously injured tiger was unwilling to lose, and forced himself to pounce forward for a certain distance.

The wolves seized the opportunity and quickly surrounded them.The two giant wolves cooperated tacitly, one left and one right pounced, and bit the male tiger's neck tightly.The pack of wolves bite hard, vowing to end the target's life.

The blood of the tiger sprayed out, and the male tiger fell to the ground exhausted and died on the spot.

The wolves shorten the hunting time, but damage the tiger skin in the bite.Zhixuan stepped forward to check and found that the male tiger had bite marks all over its body. Except for the tiger's head, which was still intact, the whole body was stained red with blood, and there was almost no intact place to be found.

The giant wolf leaned over and rubbed against Zhixuan's leg, blood was still dripping from the wolf's mouth, looking very frightening.

Zhi Xuan didn't take it seriously, he patted the giant wolf's head, and immediately ordered the wolves to disperse, ready to take over the tiger carcass.

Stimulated by the blood, some wild wolves bared their teeth at Zhi Xuan, and were immediately bitten by the neck by the giant wolf, whimpering for their lives, and did not dare to provoke again.

Although the tiger skin is damaged, the tiger meat and bones are good things.

Zhixuan summoned soldiers and soldiers, lifted the tiger up, rolled it twice in the snow, and waited for the wounds to freeze completely before being transported out of the forest by slaves.

During this period, some slaves ran back to report that when they cleaned up the dead monkeys, they found several tree holes with a lot of wild fruits hidden in them.There are also large and small snowdrifts under the trees, and when you open two of them, they are all full of bones.

The slave was quite surprised, and he dared not hide it. He left the wild monkey and ran back to report.

"Lead the way." Zhi Xuan frowned, thinking of some possibility, he immediately ordered the slaves to lead the way.

Zhao Hao was curious, so he handed over the horse to the soldier, and walked with Zhi Xuan.

The place where the tree holes and snowdrifts were found is not far from the hot springs, but the road is narrow, and there are broken branches and shrubs hidden under the snow, and you will trip if you are not careful.

Slaves are accustomed to walking in the snow, so they lead the way carefully and avoid potentially dangerous road sections.

Passing around a huge broken log, the slave stopped and pointed forward. Sure enough, there were large snowdrifts of different sizes scattered here and there.

Beside the snowdrifts are tall old trees, most of which have withered and looked lifeless.It's just that the trunk is extremely thick, and the middle part is sunken inwards, with tree holes as big as bowls.

The two snowdrifts at the edge were dug up, revealing several broken bones.

Zu Wu stepped forward to check, and shoveled away several snowdrifts one after another, and there were human bones besides animal bones.

From a larger snowdrift, Zuo Wu dug out half a skull.The surface of the bone is covered with bite marks, and a few strands of hair remain on the edge.Bone beads hang from a strand of hair, and the unique shape and pattern of the beads prove that the skull belongs to a Di.

"Continue digging." Zhi Xuan ordered the soldiers to continue.

The snowdrifts were dug up in twos and threes, and large pieces of bones came into view.Except for the smashed and corrupted ones, all the identifiable bones have signs of gnawing on the surface.

"Wild monkeys eat meat." Zhao Hao said.

Zhi Xuan frowned, even though he had guessed before, he couldn't help but feel chills when it was confirmed.

A group of people walked through the snowdrifts and approached the withered giant tree.

The closer the distance, the more obvious the taste of fruit fermentation.

When he came to a tree, Zhi Xuan took a closer look, and the pungent smell hit his face, making him subconsciously take half a step back, and raised his hand to cover his nose.

There are a lot of wild fruits piled up in the tree hole, the upper layer seems to be intact, but the lower layer is rotten, otherwise it would not emit this smell.

"Cut it off." Zhi Xuan took a few steps back and ordered the soldiers to cut down the tree.

Zhao Hao didn't understand Zhixuan's move, but he didn't ask any questions on the spot, but also took a few steps back and stood side by side with him, and when the tree was cut down, he would naturally have an answer.

Zu Wu carried an ax with him, and following Zhi Xuan's order, he hacked along the sides of the tree hole.

The trunk was very hard, but luckily the inside had been hollowed out, and the ax fell one after another, soon splitting a big hole.

The tree body began to tilt and creaked, but it did not fall down for a long time.

A large number of wild fruits rolled out from the fracture, and a cloudy liquid flowed out. In an instant, the air was filled with the pungent smell of wine.

"liquor?"

The tree-cutting soldier, Wu Wu, was surprised when a liquid splashed on his face. He wiped it off with his fingers, put it to his mouth and licked it, his eyes widened instantly.

It turned out to be wine!

The taste is not as good as the fine wine in the city, it is obviously sour, but it is indeed wine, there is no mistake!

"The tree is about to fall, get out of the way!"

Seeing the tree shaking but the people around him standing still, Zhi Xuan had no choice but to sound a warning.

The soldiers and soldiers woke up like a dream, and immediately retreated and dispersed.

The tall tree trunks continued to tilt, and smashed to the ground with a loud noise, flattening several snowdrifts and splashing a large amount of snow.

When the danger was lifted, everyone continued to check. The big break of the millstone was filled with liquor, which soaked a large amount of fermented wild fruits. The strong smell of alcohol could almost make people drunk.

The quality of this kind of wine is so poor that Zhi Xuan completely despised it, and was very disappointed with the legendary monkey wine.

Others are not,

All the soldiers who had tasted the wine couldn't move their feet, staring at the tree hole and swallowing unconsciously.

These wines are naturally formed and have not been filtered, so there is no guarantee that they are completely harmless to the human body.It would be a pity to ignore it.After Zhi Xuan thought about it, he decided to take it back to the city first, and hand it over to the witch doctor and Sang doctor for inspection before disposing of it.

This trip is to find hot springs, so naturally there will be no wine containers in the team.Fortunately, soldiers and soldiers wear water bags. If it is not enough, you can make wooden barrels from local materials, which can also hold wine.

In order to bring back as much as possible, everyone was very motivated.

The soldiers and slaves took turns logging, hollowing out tree holes one after another.It's a pity that not every tree hole has fruit wine, most of them only have wild fruits.

If this is the case, everyone is not discouraged, and it is no small gain to pick out the intact fruits.

There is a lack of vegetables in winter, let alone good fruits.No matter what the taste is, if you bring it back to the city, you can sell it at a sky-high price.

The soldiers were divided into two teams, one team was responsible for vigilant defense, and the other team continued to search for tree holes.

There are a large number of monkeys in the forest, so there are naturally many places to store food.Surrounding the hot spring, three or four places where wild fruits were hidden were found one after another. The water bags carried by everyone were filled one after another, and most of the newly made wooden barrels were used up.

Busy time always flies by.

After clearing a batch of tree holes, the sun went down, the sky became dark, the evening wind swept through the dense forest, and the temperature became colder and colder.

Such weather is not suitable for spending the night in the forest. Even if they are reluctant, everyone has to go back home and wait for tomorrow.

Walking out of the dense forest, Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao boarded the same carriage.

The car door was closed, and Zhi Xuan picked up the hand warmer placed in the corner of the car, but too much time passed, and there was no longer any warmth.

Zhao Hao sat next to him, saw Zhi Xuan moving his fingers, held his hand, and found that the fingertips were cold, so he stretched out his cloak and embraced Zhi Xuan in his arms.

Take the initiative to deliver the door-to-door heater, not hugging for nothing.

Zhi Xuan leaned forward, resting his chin on Zhao Hao's shoulder, wrapping his arms around Zhao Hao's waist.While his body was getting warmer, a certain image suddenly flashed in his mind, his heart beat faster, and he subconsciously licked his lips.

"You knew something was different in the forest?" Zhao Hao said suddenly.

"No, I met by chance." Zhi Xuan warmed up, and didn't want to move lazily.

"The hot spring is really useful?"

"Indeed." Zhi Xuan affirmed, but he didn't intend to go into details. He rubbed Zhao Hao's neck, and felt that the other party's breathing was stagnant, so he couldn't help chuckling, "You came here in a hurry because you were worried about me?"

"Naturally." Zhao Hao tightened his arms, "Your Majesty doesn't know Hao's heart?"

Zhi Xuan raised his head, met Zhao Hao's eyes, and scratched his chin with his fingertips.When Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes, he blocked his lips.

During these days of marriage, he can feel the sincerity of the other party, and he is also trying to give.

It’s just that sincerity is true, there are still many temptations.Zhao Hao is like this, so is he, no one needs to say anything, let alone feel sorry.

If one day Zhao Hao suddenly becomes a love brain, he will not adapt well, and it will not be of any benefit to this marriage.

However, based on his feelings during this period of time, the word "a faint king cannot do without wine and sex" is indeed a wise saying, and it couldn't be more accurate.
