As he spoke, he angrily drove away Li Donglai, Yang Guanglin and the rest. Only then did Fatty Niu look suspiciously at Xiang Yun, who spoke in surprise.
"Boss, what's going on? How did these guys from the An Lin Party end up like this? Could their riding skills be this bad?"
When this person saw Xiang Yun smiling at him earlier, he had guessed that Xiang Yun should know the reason behind it.
Xiang Yun waved his hand towards Fatty Niu, gesturing for him to come over.
The fat cow hurriedly rode over to Xiang Yun's side. The latter told him in a low voice about Li Dong Lai and his men drugging their horses. The fat cow was instantly shocked and paled, wanting to jump off his horse and run away.
Xiang Yun couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "What are you running for!"
"Boss, didn't you say that our horse was drugged? If we don't run now, we'll be knocked over by this beast. I don't want to be pressed down by it."
Xiang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "I reckon that you're the only one suppressing it. He definitely wouldn't dare to touch you."
Xiang Yun then waved his hand towards Fatty Niu, quietly taking away the medicines left by Li Donglai and his men. He then did the same to their horses.
"Shh!"
"Hahaha, boss, you're too awesome!"
At this moment, Fatty Niu finally realized that the hundred people from the Eastwoods Sect were all the masterpieces of his boss. He was so excited that his fat body was shaking. His chubby face was smiling like a chrysanthemum!
"Hey, wait a minute. It's one thing for the big boss's war horses to go crazy from aphrodisiac, but it's also the horses that should be venting their anger. Why would they go after Li Donglai and the others?"
"Oh, could it be that there is some mystery behind the tea?" Fatty Niu's eyes immediately lit up!
"No, there isn't. I just found a beautiful mare's fresh horse to p.i.s.s on, and watered its body for a while." Xiang Yun said with a calm smile.
Upon hearing these words, a layer of gooseb.u.mps rose all over Fatty Ox's body. At first, he was sweating profusely, but soon after, he burst out into laughter!
After he finished laughing, he did not forget to give Xiang Yun a big thumbs up, saying from the bottom of his heart, "This is too high! Boss, my admiration for you is truly like a torrential river, endless and endless.
"Scram to the side, stop flattering me!"
As he said this, Fatty Niu and Xiang Yun turned their heads to glance at the group of Eastwoods men who were howling like ghosts and happily chasing after the hunting army!
In the middle of the campsite, in the camp's Long An's tent, Xiang Chang'an was seated at the head of the troop, clad in golden armor. Beside him were Yang Guanglin, Li Concealed, and a few core members of the An Lin Party.
There were several stretchers on both sides of the tent. Li Donglai, Deng Huan and a few others were sitting in the middle of the stretcher. They were all moaning and groaning.
Everyone, including Xiang Changan, had extremely ugly expressions at the moment. The tent was filled with dark and gloomy clouds and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing!
Hearing the screams of the injured, Xiang Changan's gloomy face turned uglier and uglier. His delicate and pretty brows were tightly knitted together, and his breathing became heavier.
Yang Guanglin was observing the situation and immediately looked at Li Donglai. He shouted, "Enough, we are all grown men. We can't endure any pain. Don't grumble!"
Yang Guanglin was the second in command of the An Lin Party. Plus, his status was very high, so he naturally had some prestige. With this shout, the people on the ground immediately shut up and looked at the latter with a wronged expression.
However, Yang Guanglin said coldly, "Li Donglai, what are you doing, kid? Didn't you say that you had already drugged the horses of Xiang Yun and Niu Yaotian? Why didn't anything happen to the two of them? You guys have all fallen, and yet …"
At this point, Yang Guanglin was speechless. The scene just now was too hard to describe.
Upon hearing these words, both Li Donglai and Deng Huan's tears flowed down their faces.
Deng Huan, who was lying on the stretcher beside her, was also sobbing.
Li Donglai also used his hand to wipe his tears as he fiercely cursed, "Right, I'm going to burn my dog-s.h.i.+t Ferghana Horse red too!"
They were both ashamed and angry at the same time. Recalling the scene of being trampled on by the horses in front of the crowd in the hunting grounds, they couldn't help but want to fall down from the sky and smash them to death.
The others were still alright, especially Li Donglai and Deng Huan. Since they were the closest to Xiang Yun and had the most 'tea' on them, the warhorses that took care of them were the most. One could imagine how much of a trauma they were feeling!
After listening to their tearful narration, Xiang Chang An finally couldn't help but angrily yell at them to shut up.
He took a sip of the tea in annoyance. The tea was extremely bitter and smelly. The latter spat on the ground with a 'pui'. His anger could not be quelled!
Xiang Changan was still a young man after all. His emotions could be seen from his expression. At this moment, he could only feel that his subordinates had thrown away all their face, and was extremely displeased!
On the other hand, Yang Guanglin was different. Beneath his swarthy, honest skin was a deep, ruthless, and scheming mind. He was the leader of many things for Xiang Chang An.
When he heard Li Donglai and the others' wails, the latter thought for a moment and then understood in his heart.
"Looks like they have already noticed your movements. They probably swapped their medicines and drugged our horses!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, Yang Guanglin's nose twitched, he frowned, "What smell is it, why is it so smelly!"
Li Donglai lowered his head and sniffed the air as well, saying rather awkwardly, "It's probably the smell of my tea just now. When Xiang Yunan was drinking his tea, he spilled all over me. I really don't know what kind of s.h.i.+tty stuff he's drinking. It smells awful!"
Yang Guanglin stepped forward to Li Donglai's side, lowered his head and took a careful sniff, then suddenly said in a low voice.
"This is horse pee!"
And when he heard this, the one who had the biggest reaction wasn't them, but Li Donglai. When he heard Yang Guanglin say it was horse p.i.s.s, he suddenly remembered that he even took a sip!
In an instant, Li Dong Lai's stomach was in a mess, and with a "Wah", he immediately vomited in the tent!
"Quick, get them out of this palace!" Xiang Chang An couldn't stand such a scene and immediately gave the order to carry Li Dong Lai and the rest out.
After a while, only Xiang Chang An, Yang Guanglin, and Li Yin were left in the tent. Xiang Chang An covered his nose and frowned as he looked at Li Yin!
"Now that Li Dong Lai's plan has failed, how's your plan going?"
Back then, after the Exquisite Pavilion had been forced to leave with their tails between their legs, Xiang Changan and the rest had discussed their plans for revenge. Among them were Li Concealed and Li Donglai. Each of them had offered a plan for revenge.
Xiang Changan felt that the two of them had a good plan, so he let them carry it out. He didn't think that Li Donglai would cause the entire frontline to crumble and Xiang Changan could only place his hopes on Li Concealed!
At this moment, Li Yin had the feeling of being a hero who saved his life 'when he was under orders from the defeated army'. He immediately straightened his back and spoke with full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, a smile broke out on Xiang Changan's worried face. He stood up; even though he wasn't very tall, he could still pat Li's shoulder as he stood on the stage.
"Aiyo, Your Highness, what nonsense are you saying? To be able to do something within your capabilities for His Highness is my honor. How could I dare to expect anything in return?"
Li Yao's s.h.i.+fty eyes made a gesture of righteousness, but in reality, the hands behind his back were already trembling so much that they couldn't take it anymore!
He really had to thank Li Donglai and the others for their failures, which was why he had given himself such a great opportunity. Tonight, he had to make this matter beautiful, make that Crown Prince lose his reputation, and humiliate him thoroughly!
At the same time, deep within the dense forest, in the beginning of spring, the snow had just begun to melt and everything was reviving. Fresh shoots had just emerged from the gra.s.s, and new branches had just sprouted out from the branches.
It was now the beginning of spring. The beasts that had hibernated for the entire winter had finally come out to look for food. There were lively and jumping sika deer that were grazing on the ground. There were also nimble squirrels and wild monkeys that shuttled back and forth on the branches.
By the lake, he could even see the wild boar drinking water with its head down. It then turned around vigilantly and ran into the depths of the forest. The whole forest was full of life and spring!
Xiang Yun followed Fatty Niu into the forest. Fatty Niu was busy drawing his bow and shooting arrows, searching for prey. This fellow did look quite impressive, just that his clumsy hands and feet were unable to even fit a bow.
Furthermore, the Sunflower Water Bow was extremely powerful. Often, Fatty Niu would grind his teeth and pull the bowstring, causing the prey he saw to flee far away.
Therefore, after walking for half a day, not to mention fierce beasts, he hadn't even managed to kill a fat hare.
Fatty Niu seemed to feel that he had lost some of his ill.u.s.trious reputation as a wolf from the northwest. He was so angry that he was sighing endlessly.
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, had his hands around the back of his head and was leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain with a piece of dog-tailed gra.s.s in his mouth.
At that time, he was still very young, yet his grandfather had placed him on the back of a wide cow with a piece of dog-tailed gra.s.s in his mouth, while his grandfather was leading the ox while telling him a story.
Xiang Yun often asked curiously, "Grandfather, why do you have so many stories to tell? Could it be that you've read many books before?"
Grandfather would always smile without saying a word. Sometimes when he was happy, he would laugh out loud and reply, "Who is Grandfather? Grandfather has crossed more bridges than you can read, and Grandfather has seen all of these stories with his own eyes!"
Every time this happened, Xiang Yun would pout his mouth and spit out the dogtail gra.s.s in disdain, "Grandfather's bragging again!"
"Boss! Boss! Quick! Look!" Suddenly, Fatty Niu's hurried voice woke Xiang Yun up!
