The Praetorian Guards looked behind one's head like a fool, and at one point had the urge to beat him to death.
It took him a lot of effort to pull his mind back: "Do you think if you stop me, you'll be safe?"
A black... eh no, Yuchixiu said coldly, "Stop you? Oh, I can crush you to death with one hand!"
Shu!
The imperial guards were extremely fast, dodging behind Yuchixiu, and stabbing Yuchixiu in the back with a sword.
Yu Chi Xiu: ".." - Yu: "..."
Yu Chi Xiu turned his head and looked at the armor he had broken through. He frowned unhappily: "I really like this armor! You're bothering me!"
The Guards were shocked.
This guy ... wasn't he really hurt?
Yu Chixiu's arm poked backwards, her fingertips clamping down on her long sword, folding it gently, breaking the blade.
The Imperial Guards immediately did a light job and retreated ten steps away.
He came to the saddle and took off his bow.
He was the best in archery, no one could survive under his arrow!
He quickly made a bow and pulled an arrow, and shot Yu Chixiu fiercely!
…
But Su Cheng went after the white-tailed fox, and met a savage who came out from behind a big tree.
Su Cheng was so frightened that his hair exploded, and he thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
He raised his nails and was about to go down——
"it's me!"
The other party said in panic.
Su Chengle tightened his control and turned to the side. After stabilizing his figure, he fixedly stared at the man who was unkempt, covered in mud, with almost green leaves like a meadow.
"Eh... Qin Jiang?"
Qin Jiang took a deep breath: "It's me."
Su Cheng looked at him from top to bottom, and his expression was indescribable: "How do you make yourself so virtuous? By the way, I just saw the Guards beside you. He's gonna kill me. Did you tell him to?"
At the end of the question, Su Cheng's expression gradually became serious.
Qin Jiang glared at him speechlessly: "If I could call Janissari, would I make myself like this? I almost got killed, okay? If I don't run fast—"
In the middle of his words, he stopped in time.
I cannot lose face in front of Su Cheng.
"You jumped into the shit hole?" Su Cheng asked.
"It's a mud hole!" Qin Jiang corrected him.
not an ordinary mud pit, but a mud pit under the poison, at first glance it looks like a swamp.
The praetorian guard did not jump in with him for this reason.
If not, he would have been dead a long time ago.
"How did you escape?" Qin Jiang looked at Su Cheng suspiciously, he clearly remembered that the Guards killed him towards Su Cheng.
Su Cheng hummed: "Heh, just a small imperial guard, how could they be my opponent? Grandpa dropped it with one punch!"
Nothing can affect my arrogance!
Qin Jiang said sharply: "Are the Guards with you? You are so lucky!"
There were two Guards, but he was assigned to one with ill intentions.
Where in the world are there so many coincidences? But there are people who prepare carefully beforehand.
Qin Jiang and Su Cheng knew nothing about Wei Ting's arrangements.
Qin Jiang lost his horse, so he wanted to snatch Su Cheng.
However, before he could do so, another wave of assassins appeared, this time not one, but a real wave.
Qin Jiang said firmly, "Su Cheng, it's better for us to train to face them—"
Su Cheng snorted: "Dealing with your uncle! Make it a target!"
Su Cheng pinched the horse's belly with his feet and walked away!
Qin Jiang is half dead!
The assassins that appeared were all covered, and roughly calculated, at least ten.
It is determined to kill him and Su Cheng!
Why would the other party do this?
Could it be.. The other party also wanted the military might of the Qin family?
Apart from this, Qin Jiang could not think of any other possibility.
Although Qin Canglan was still alive, his age was already dusk. As he grew older, his heart would also be fragile. If Qin Canglan lost his parents and son again at this time, he would definitely not be able to bear the blow.
The other party was to defeat Qin Canglan and destroy the Duke Protective House.
While thinking about it, some assassins greeted him with long swords, while others did light work and chased after Su Cheng.
He thought Su Cheng would be stopped, but a strange sight occurred.
An arrow shot from the depths of the dense forest, hit the head of the person in the middle of the heart, and shot the person from the air.
Immediately after, three more arrows were fired, and the arrows did not miss, and the three assassins were shot down in the air.
Qin Jiang was surprised.
In the forest ... are there still archers ambushing?
Very precise archery ... Even he sighed.
Could it be someone from Shengong Camp? !
His partner was killed, and two more assassins chased after him, and the others followed the direction of the arrow in search of the archers hiding in the darkness.
However, he had no chance to see the other party's appearance at all, and was shot in the head by the other party's arrow!
Looking at the assassin who flew over and fell to the ground, dying, Qin Jiang's hair stood up!
The Shen Bow Camp... A cruel archer in time?
Su Cheng ran far ahead, he knew someone was chasing him.
She's looking.
Huh huh?
There is one less.
turn around again, some less.
When he turned around for the third time, all the assassins who were chasing him had left.
...Right, it's a mystery.
Qin Jiang was injured after finishing the last two assassins He sat on the ground panting.
Behind the vine in the distance, an ice arrow was aimed at him.
Suddenly, a hand with clear joints pressed the arrow lightly.
"Cannot be killed. If Qin Jiang died, uncle's suspicions would be great, and there would probably be witnesses who would jump out by then, insisting that his uncle ordered them to kill Qin Jiang. His Majesty did not want his uncle to gain military power, no matter who his uncle was. If you prove your innocence, Your Majesty will take this opportunity to punish your uncle."
The bow and arrow fell slowly.
Seconds next.
The huge bow lifted suddenly, the arrow flew away from the rope, and hit Qin Jiang's thigh!
Qin Jiang screamed loudly: "Ah—"
Su Cheng, who had gone far away, looked at the surprised birds in the forest: "Well, why do I seem to hear Qin Jiang yell again?"
"If something happens to Qin Jiang, will you suspect me?"
"But there are so many of them, if they kill me together, don't I not even have a chance to be suspected .. I don't care, save my life first!"
…
At the entrance of the hunting grounds, several tents were set up.
In the biggest tent, Emperor Jingxuan was doing a sand table game with Qin Canglan and Laohou Ye.
This was the entertainment of Emperor Jingxuan and his generals, which was more interesting than playing chess.
Several princes watched the battle with Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an.
Princess Huian felt bored and often yawned.
Peach Branch understood and walked out with an empty fruit plate.
After a while, he entered the tent and whispered to Princess Jingning.
Princess Jingning said to Xiao Chonghua: "Third brother, I want to eat an orange."
Princess Hui'an let out a cold snort: "You want to eat oranges and let someone pick them yourself. What are you asking my third brother to do?"
The third brother is his!
Xiao Chonghua calmly glanced at Princess Jingning and said with a smile, "It just so happens that Huian also likes to eat, so I'll choose it for you."
These words sounded like being chosen for Princess Hui'an Princess Hui'an was very useful and released Xiao Chonghua's arm.
Xiao Chonghua came out of the tent and saw Su Yu who seemed to be passing by.
…
"Is that for the Marquis of Zhenbei? Marquis Zhenbei is at the sand table with my father, don't worry, I will remind him to take medicine."
Xiao Chonghua finished speaking as usual, and took out the medicine bottle that Su Yu handed over.
Su Yu glanced at the guards patrolling nearby and said, "Your Majesty Laosan."
After Su Yu left, a small eunuch entered the tent with snacks.
Xiao Chonghua looked at him meaningfully.
After a while, Xiao Duye came out, his face slightly ugly.
Seeing Xiao Chonghua at the door, Xiao Duye's expression froze slightly.
The next second, Xiao Duye smiled and said, "Third brother, why are you standing outside?"
Xiao Chonghua said warmly: "Oh, I went in for a while, why is big brother coming out?"
Xiao Duye's smile did not change: "It's nothing, I thought, if Master Qin and Duke Huguo have been here for a long time, would something happen? I plan on bringing someone to look for her."
Xiao Chonghua said warmly, "I'm with my elder brother."
"No need, third brother."
"I'll report to the royal father."
Xiao Chonghua said that, regardless of whether Xiao Duye agreed or not, he entered the camp without hesitation.
"Dad agrees."
Xiao Chonghua said to Xiao Duye after he came out.
Xiao Duye said without a smile: "Then, the third brother from hard work will come with me."
Princess Jingning came out: "Wait, I'll go too."
Xiao Duye said solemnly: "Jingning, don't be silly, the forest is a hunting ground, it's very dangerous."
Princess Jingning said lightly, "I'll just hunt a little rabbit. Those two brothers won't be able to protect me, will they?"
Consort Xiao Duye's mother was a jade concubine, one rank lower than mother's concubine Xiao Chonghua, and was currently tied to the queen.
And the strength of Yu Fei's mother clan was not extraordinary.
In short, Princess Jingning should not have an accident under Xiao Duye's nose.
Otherwise, the empress would have killed Consort Yu, and of course, she would have also angered Xiao Chonghua and Consort Xian.
"I'm going, I'm going too!"
Princess Hui'an was determined not to let Jingning take the top spot. If Jingning could do it, she would too!
Xiao Duye clenched his fists silently.
"The concubine said that you cannot be allowed to enter the hunting grounds. Did you forget your injury from the last hunt?"
Xiao Chonghua adhered to the principle that Princess Hui'an could not be taken to the forest, and persuaded his sister with a nice voice.
Princess Jingning was in no hurry, and waited quietly, sarcastically from time to time, and told Hui'an not to be embarrassed.
Princess Huian was so angry that she almost got into a fight with him.
"Third Brother, come and judge!"
"Brother, you also come to judge."
Princess Hui'an moved away from Xiao Chonghua, and Princess Jingning sacrificed Xiao Duye.
back and forth, and the problem of entering the forest was delayed.
Finally, when Princess Hui'an was so angry that she wanted to complain to Emperor Jingxuan, the little eunuch at the entrance rang a gong.
This means that the riding and shooting competition has ended, and someone has come out.
coming out is Su Cheng.
He wore cold armor and rode on a high-headed horse, like a victorious general on the battlefield.
The sunset rays shone on his handsome face, emitting a golden and cold light.
He held the reins in his right hand, a long knife in his left hand, and a man in his saddle.
As they approached, everyone realized that Qin Jiang was unconscious.
Xiao Duye's eyes blinked.
Xiao Chonghua asked, "Prince Protector, what happened?"
Su Cheng said solemnly: "The story is long, let me report to His Majesty."
In the tent, Emperor Jingxuan called out to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng first took off the cloth bag hanging in the saddle and showed the white-tailed fox he had captured alive.
The legs of the white-tailed fox were covered with seals, which could not be forged.
In this competition, Su Cheng deserved to win.
Qin Canglan and the old marquis were on the verge of tears - the military power of the Qin family, Cheng'er was guarded!
The officials were speechless in surprise.
Su Cheng, the blood of the Qin family who grew up in the countryside, had completely defeated Qin Jiang.
Not only was the martial art higher than Qinjiang, but even horse riding and archery were above Qinjiang.
There was only one war art left to announce the outcome, but Su Cheng, who had won two consecutive sentences, had secured victory.
What about the farmer? What about the cowherd baby? What about the good state bully?
This man was clearly shining brightly!
"Dad..."
Princess Jingning reminded Emperor Jingxuan gently.
Emperor Jingxuan returned to the cage with his consciousness, and he sat down. He did not immediately announce the end result, but asked, "What happened to Qin Jiang? Why is he hurt? Did you hurt him?"
This hat is buttoned, so it's not too flashy.
Qin Canglan and the old man's face sank.
Princess Jingning lowered her head and did not speak.
Su Cheng said without changing his face: "Report to His Majesty, Qin Jiang was not injured by me, but by an assassin."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned and asked, "Killer? Where did the killer come from?"
Su Cheng sighed: "There was an assassin in the Imperial Guards, the one who followed Qin Jiang. Shortly after we entered the forest, he attacked Qin Jiang. Then he attacked me again, thanks to Guard Cheng who sacrificed himself by my side. I just hurt a little."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bloody right arm.
Qin Canglan and the old man's expression changed!
Su Cheng pulled his sleeve after the performance, for fear of revealing its contents even a second later.
Emperor Jingxuan said coldly, "What about those two guards?"
Su Cheng said with great sadness: "I finally managed to break the Guards, but who would have thought another group of masked assassins, I lead some of them, Qin Jiang will deal with two, the rest ... The guards Cheng and They perished together, and the corpses were in the forest."
Emperor Jingxuan said to Xiao Duye and Xiao Chonghua, "Just look for it."
They both said: "Yes!"
The two took a team of people and found everyone's bodies according to the route suggested by Su Cheng.
There were two people in praetorian armor, one was an archer in the forest that night, and the other was the original Guard Cheng.
Moreover, there were more than ten corpses of black-clothed men.
Xiao Duye looked at the corpses in disbelief and muttered, "How could this happen ..."
Xiao Chonghua looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Duye calmed down and said, "I ... I said, who did it? How did this happen? Now that the body is found, come back quickly."
