Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 169.2: One Arrow

Jing Wan frowned. Whenever she interacted with Jin Qinwang, she always felt that there was something out of place. Even if she tells herself, just let nature take its course, and don’t think too much, but sometimes, it was very difficult to not overthink.

The ones that left with Li Hong Yuan were An Yi and the Commander of the Imperial Guards. Out in the desolate wilderness, who knows whether or not mishap will occur. Although there weren’t that many accidents in the world, but all things should have a preparation. If by chance something were to happen to Jin Qinwang, even if they had ten heads, it still wouldn’t be enough to shoulder the blame.

When they caught up, they just saw Li Hong Yuan’s cold and solemn back, standing there with his hands behind his back. The two of them subconsciously froze, feeling that the current living Enma was just a true living Enma. Just a rear view, yet it already made one numb in the head.

Li Hong Yuan turned around, and the two of them subconsciously knelt down on one knee in the most deferential manner, waiting for his order.

Reality proved that Li Hong Yuan’s mood right now was considerably bad, his dark aura practically materializing. And even he himself was all somewhat losing control of it, seemingly unable to suppress it. Jing Wan’s words, at first, just stung a little, but that feeling didn’t disappear that quickly, instead intensifying. Just, right now, he was actually unable to describe what kind of feeling it was. If he didn’t leave quickly, he was worried that he’ll do something irreversible to Jing Wan. Although, he definitely wouldn’t go as far as to injure her.

Li Hong Yuan suppressed his urge of wanting to have these two before him kicked to death, “Have the forest thoroughly searched.”

“Yes.” The two didn’t dare slight. Regardless of what reason, in any case, the him right now, they couldn’t afford to provoke.

Once they left Li Hong Yuan’s line of sight, their tensed nerve finally relaxed a little.

The sixth prince, Jin Qinwang, his temperament gloomy and violent, moody and temperamental. The Great Commander of the Imperial Guards has never experienced it more deeply than in this moment. Turns out, in the palace, he had actually restrained himself a lot already. He glanced at An Yi. Following such a master, one really can’t help but feel pity towards him.

An Yi had his expression taken in. Pity me? You best worry about yourself. As the Commander of the Imperial Guards, you think master will let you off? Just wait, there will be a day, where you will be the same as me, in an abyss of suffering.

“Wangye’s side cannot lack people. The situation in the forest, I’ll take people to investigate.” The Commander said, not giving An Yi a chance to refuse.

An Yi didn’t insist either, staying in his original spot, turning back to look over, faintly seeing his master still standing in the same spot.

As expected, it was the most normal for master to be this way. That person a moment ago that was feeling a bit hurt, a bit wronged, and even showing weakness, when facing the future wangfei, definitely wasn’t their wise and valiant master. Alright, that was their master, just their eyes were broken, that’s all.

Hei Mei stood in the waters, unsure whether or not she should continue. “Miss…….”

Jing Wan smiled, “Find a target yet? Your miss, I, is waiting to eat fish, you know.”

Hei Mei became energetic again, “Miss, just wait, as long as there are fish in the waters, will definitely be able to let you eat.”

Jing Wan let out an expectant expression, and seemingly as if having thought of something, turning her head back and finding Bai Shao. She was the same as Qing Zhu, belonging to the relatively composed type. However, Jing Wan felt, in her heart, she should have the same kind of way of thinking as Hei Mei. Thus, “Bai Shao, go down and help Hei Mei, this way it’ll be faster.”

“Yes.” A pleasant surprise flashed across Bai Shao’s eyes. However, in the end, she wasn’t energetic like Hei Mei.

The two sisters must have often joined hands, because even if they didn’t say anything, they still appeared very coordinated. And even if the waters were muddy, unable to see anything clearly, after feeling around, Hei Mei suddenly raised her hands. A more or less only three fingers wide fish was swaying its tail between her two hands, its gills opening and closing non-stop.

Li Hong Yuan’s bodyguards silently facepalmed. So embarrassing, a bunch of grown men, yet can’t even compare to two delicate looking girls.

The main purpose of catching fish was just for satisfying Jing Wan’s ‘craving’. Things for their master to eat, at most, it was just Jin Qinwang, who would also get to taste. That’s why, only catching four was still because of their small size, else at most they would’ve just caught two.

The two climbed ashore, then went along the shore and walked upstream. In the fresh water, they had the fish cleaned. After taking them back, they used the water in the water sack to rinse again, cutting a tree branch and separately skewering. After propping them up against the fire to roast, it became Qing Zhu’s turn to work, flipping them as she had the seasoning sprinkled on top. Very soon, the aroma permeated in all directions………….

Eunuch Mu watched on, really wanting to go die. Previously, he was still thinking that this was a good chance to curry favor with the female master, but looking at it now, that was practically just embarrassing oneself. Look at the other party, that was what a considerate and attentive good servant should be like. Earlier, they were actually just being laughed at by the other party…………..

Jing Wan was also rather speechless. Coming out for a stroll with her, having a mat cushion, that was easy to explain, perhaps needing to sit for while; having a water sack was also easy to explain, getting thirsty in such hot weather and wanting to drink water was very normal. But, this dagger, this seasoning for roast meat, and also the fire starter earlier, even having these things, was there a need to be this complete? “How come thought of bringing these?”

Qing Ju moved her nose. The things roasted by big sister Qing Zhu were just fragrant. “It’s mama that let us bring, saying just in case.”

It really was……Should say, as expected of mama, just impressive.

“Hei Mei, Bai Shao, why don’t you two go back first to change clothes.” Jing Wan said. Actually, she wanted to let Li Hong Yuan’s bodyguards also go back, but in the end, they weren’t her people, so it wasn’t good for her to overstep and meddle in their affairs.

“It’s fine miss, in such hot weather, just need to stay by the open fire and it’ll dry shortly.”

“It’s not good to dry it while wearing it on the body, the moisture will enter the body. It’s fine now, but once you get old, you’ll suffer.” Jing Wan didn’t approve. Actually, Jing Wan rather wanted to directly go back, but seeing how Jin Qinwang was still nowhere to be found at the moment, just leaving like this seemingly wasn’t too good. Moreover, the fish were just put up to roast. To walk away just like this, wouldn’t that be wasting their hard work.

Qing Zhu thought for a moment, lifting her head, “The big brothers over there are also wet, how about going to find a place to start a fire and dry one’s clothes.”

This was a suggestion, and also trying to shoo them away. Thus, they just swiftly got lost. In any case, the Imperial Guards were still nearby, and they also just needed to move a little farther away to keep away for a bit.

Once the group of men left, they rapidly started another fire to the side. The sisters took off their shoes and socks. As for their dress and trousers, they didn’t get that wet, so this while, for the most part, were already dry. Even if they weren’t dry, one still can’t take them off here to dry.

Not long after, they just swiftly tidied up again, and the fish in Qing Zhu’s hands were also ready. The outer skin was roasted into a golden yellow, yet not the least bit burnt. Afterwards, Jing Wan saw Qing Zhu take out a plate from somewhere, and judging from that stance, this was wanting to have the fish taken off the skewer, peel the skin to remove the bones, then letting her elegantly and gracefully enjoy?

Black lines ran down Jing Wan’s forehead, directly taking the branch from Qing Zhu’s hands, and biting down on the fish, “Roasted fish like this is the most fun when eaten in this way.”

Jing Wan was the master. If she wants to eat it this way, then that’s just how it’s eaten. In any case, there weren’t outsiders here either. As for whether or not she would secretly get seen by people in the dark. Who cares, it’s fine as long as their miss feels comfortable and content.

Jing Wan quickly finished eating the fish. Even if the fish was relatively small, she still left behind a rather intact skeleton.

“The flavor is indeed pretty good.” Jing Wan rather wanted to let them have a taste, but unfortunately, each and every one of them all very much abided by the rules.

Jing Wan wiped her mouth and washed her hands. That wangye still haven’t returned? To say Jing Wan didn’t care at all about Li Hong Yuan’s reaction earlier, that was definitely a lie. After hesitating for a moment, she still decided to go have a look. “I’ll go have a look. You all don’t need to follow.”

“But miss………..” Gong mama had asked them to watch over miss at all times, can’t be too far away, and further can’t let her leave their line of sight.

Jing Wan waved her hand, “Don’t worry, there’s quite a few people nearby, so there definitely won’t be any mishaps.” Then, she helpless sighed, “Since I made the other party unhappy, then naturally need to have the person coaxed back.”

Jing Wan patted her hands and went looking in the direction Li Hong Yuan previously left in.

Not long after, Jing Wan saw someone. Looking at that outfit, should be Jin Qinwang’s bodyguard. That person stood with their back to Jing Wan, and hearing the slight movement sounds, immediately turned around. Seeing Jing Wan, his heart froze, “Miss Luo, master is inconvenienced right now, asking to please turn back.”

Jing Wan stopped, slightly surprised inside. In the forest ahead, there seemingly were some abnormal sounds. What was he doing? However, since the bodyguard blocked her, Jing Wan naturally won’t continue over.

Just as she was planning to turn and leave, a dark shadow rapidly charged in this direction.

Even if she didn’t know what was going on specifically, Jing Wan still knew that this was not good. Without a second word, she immediately turned and ran.

Jing Wan was never a true delicate young miss to begin with, so when she needed to run, her speed naturally wasn’t slow, and didn’t stagger in her steps, nor tripping and falling over branches and rocks. .

Additionally, that bodyguard wasn’t useless either, drawing his sword and slashing in the direction of the shadow. The two very quickly fought into a lump.

Moreover, it was very clear, the other party’s skills were still a level higher, but even so, he still wasn’t able to step away. And nearby, two imperial guards also rushed over, a three against one situation. Against one, the man in black was at an advantage, but even against two he’ll fall to a disadvantage, let alone against three. However, before the two rushed over, the man in black suddenly took out something from his waist. That clearly was a hand crossbow. Abandoning one arm to deal with the bodyguard, he fired the crossbow towards Jing Wan.

“Wan Wan be careful———-”

That fearful panic, even carrying sorrow and lament………..

Without even thinking, and further disregarding what the situation on the ground was like, Jing Wan slid her foot, rolling onto the ground. With a ‘swish’, an air-cutting sound shot across from above. Jing Wan saw an arrow firmly nailed into the tree, with more than half buried into it.

If this arrow shot onto the body, nine times out of ten, it’ll penetrate right through.
