The ecstatic battle gradually came to an end.
Jiuyao Palace won a complete victory and captured a lot of ferocious and rare beasts. The fly in the ointment is that the two Snow Wing Treading Cloud horses escaped in the end and were not able to be brought back.
This made the disciples regretful. If these two can be captured and left descendants in Jiuyao Palace, it will be considered a dream!
Lu Mingshu was seriously injured, so he handed over the cub to Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang looked at it and sighed: "The Xueyi Treading Cloud Colt is gone, so I picked up a silly roe deer. It's still cute when it's small, but if it grows up and still has this virtue, it will be so ugly."
The cub barked weakly twice, as if protesting.
Lu Mingshu just laughed: "Why don't I give you that silver-armored rat from before, so I can just make a pair."
"Okay, anyway, you have this silly roe deer."
After the battle subsided, Teacher Zuo led them back to their temporary shelter. They were greeted by everyone's amazed gazes, especially Lu Mingshu. Many people pointed at her.
Lu Mingshu turned a blind eye and followed Gao Xiang to find his master.
When An Tongchen saw them, he was a little surprised, and then said: "It's good that the people are not lost, let's talk about it when we go back."
Returning to the camp on a snow lion, An Tongchen called his followers over and took them to wash and treat the wounds.
After a while, Gao Xiang came back.
An Tongchen had already changed into white clothes, with loose hair, and sat behind the table.
Looking at the master like this, Gao Xiang's cold and hard breath dissipated a lot, and he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, and he walked over: "Master..."
An Tongchen was expressionless, and pointed to the cushion opposite: "Don't think that you can avoid punishment, sit down."
Gao Xiang touched his nose, sat down obediently, and bowed his head to lead the training.
"what happened?"
Gao Xiang didn't dare to make mistakes, and told about today's experience one by one, including the fact that he deliberately provoked Fu Mingtang to bet.
Who knew, An Tongchen was not interested in how he bet with Fu Mingtang, and only asked Lu Mingshu repeatedly how to appear.
Gao Xiang said it several times, confused: "Master, what's wrong?"
An Tongchen didn't answer, but knocked on the table silently.
Don't care about the bet at all. Although there was a lot of trouble, to put it bluntly, it was just a few juniors fighting for leisure.
However, Lu Mingshu disappeared in the canyon outside, but appeared in the depths of the beast den. This is quite a mystery. Listening to her words, it seems that I met a certain expert who happened to be in the Yaoxi Mountain Forest... There are a lot of articles that can be done here!
He didn't suspect that Lu Mingshu was lying. She was a young disciple who participated in the spring hunt for the first time. Her strength was limited, she didn't know much about the Yaoxi Mountain Forest, and she was only a third-class disciple. Even if she colluded with outsiders, it would be useless.
He was not surprised that outsiders came in and out of the Yaoxi mountain forest. Yaoxi Mountain Forest is said to be the back garden of Jiuyao Palace, but it doesn't really enclose the courtyard wall. Other mountains can also be climbed, but it is not as convenient as Jiuyao Mountain.
However, when they were hunting, this person entered the animal den without anyone noticing, and he didn't know what he was doing under their noses, so there was a problem. The back garden allows people to walk over it at will, is it still called the back garden
An Tongchen thought about it, suddenly his expression changed, and he stood up abruptly: "Not good!"
Gao Xiang was taken aback by him, and stood up: "Master, what's wrong?"
An Tongchen didn't answer, he put on his robe and went out, Gao Xiang hurriedly followed.
An Tongchen went straight to the camp of his followers, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw only the maid he had brought inside.
"Where's Lu Mingshu?"
The servant girl hastily lowered her body and saluted: "The little servant girl was about to report to the elder, but someone just came over and took Miss Lu away."
"who?"
"It's from the Essence Institute..."
An Tongchen didn't finish listening, he flung the curtain, turned around and left.
"Master!" Gao Xiang chased after him with a panicked expression, "Why did the Jingyiyuan take Mingshu away?"
Jingyiyuan, in charge of the precepts of Jiuyao Palace, can arrest and punish disciples.
An Tongchen sneered: "What else could it be? Of course it was caused by today's competition."
Gao Xiang was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I provoked Fu Mingtang to participate, I'll explain it clearly!"
An Tongchen glanced at him: "I'm afraid it's too late. Fu Mingtang has a part in the betting, even if he is fined, he won't be punished severely. But if we find out about her disappearance and reappearance, it won't be good .”
Gao Xiang wasn't stupid, and when An Tongchen pointed it out, he immediately understood the chain of events. He shouted: "They want to make a fuss about Mingshu's disappearance? Inventing charges for her? That expert... wants to say that she colluded with outsiders?"
An Tongchen thought to himself, this disciple of his is not too stupid, and he can still save him.
As soon as he finished thinking this way, Gao Xiang immediately rushed over and grabbed his hand, and said anxiously: "Master, explain to her, how could she collude with outsiders? She is in Bixi Valley every day, and she hasn't even gone down the mountain in the past few years." But, where do you know any outsiders?"
An Tongchen didn't come up in one breath, he really wanted to strangle the apprentice who thought he could be saved just now, and replace him with another one!
He whispered, "Are you stupid? Does it matter if she colludes with outsiders?" The important thing is that someone wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"Master, please help her! Master said that Ming Shu's master was kind to him, so he has to take care of her. Master..."
"Enough!" An Tongchen rubbed his eyebrows, "You go back."
"Master!"
An Tongchen said helplessly, "I'll try it."
Gao Xiang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
An Tongchen shouted: "Go back obediently, don't cause trouble again!"
"Understood, I promise not to cause trouble."
Watching Gao Xiang go back, An Tongchen sighed and walked towards the big tent in the center.
At this time, Lu Mingshu was being pushed into the tent.
The wound on the shoulder had just been wrapped up, and because of this push, it was burning and painful. She endured it, and before the pain subsided, a familiar voice sounded: "Lu Mingshu?"
This woman's voice has been echoing in her dreams since four years ago. It sounds gentle and gentle, but in reality it is contemptuous and arrogant, treating others as superior to ants.
She closed her eyes, not only to suppress the pain, but also to suppress the hatred in her heart. When he raised his head again, his eyes were calm as usual.
There are four people in the big tent, Fu Shangqing, Zhou Yinru, and the other two elders who participated in the hunt this time.
"Yes, disciple Lu Mingshu."
Zhou Yin lowered her chin slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, why did you collude with outsiders?"
Surprise flashed across Lu Mingshu's eyes, but he already knew it in his heart. Yan Wugui said that it is impossible to completely erase his traces, so someone will definitely ask her about this matter, but the current situation is much worse than she expected. She originally thought that there was no evidence for this matter, and her strength was poor, so at most she would be embarrassed, but Zhou Yinru's posture was more than just embarrassing.
"The disciple doesn't understand Section Master Zhou's words." She said.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Zhou Yinru's mouth, "Keng", a dagger was thrown in front of her, "The evidence is here, how dare you deny it?"
