humble minister

Running all the way, Lian Ying couldn't help being startled: I have traveled so far before I knew it, if there is a vision, it must be a conspiracy.

Faintly, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, but it was too late to repent at this time, and he had to investigate to the end.

The place I arrived at last was actually very close to the edge of the land controlled by the royal family. If I go further out, I don’t know what dangers I will encounter. There are all kinds of wild animals in the mountains and strange plants in the forest. These are all dangers that cannot be guarded against.

"It's...too far away..." As soon as he stopped, Lian Ying couldn't help but frown as he looked at the surrounding scenery.

"Hey, we came here after chasing and chasing, but if we hadn't arrived here, some things really wouldn't have been discovered." Shi Xiang rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"Indeed, it's too quiet here."

All four of them knew that in such a fringe place, they should always hear the roar of wild beasts deeper in the forest, how could it be so quiet like this moment, not even a faint sound could be heard.

"Look at the feet, there are too many footprints here." Jiang Bailang continued.

Lian Ying heard the sound and saw that there were many complicated footprints in such a small place, and many of them were obviously not left by people, so...

The four of them looked at each other, and they all understood a bit. It turned out that the plan was to use the lured wild beasts from the forest to attack the hunters in the paddock. Unsurprisingly, the person who was attacked should be the current prince—after all, this place has always been the place where the prince likes to hunt.In this way, if something really happened to the prince, he could still shift the full responsibility to the people who arranged and inspected the paddock, saying that they did not do a good job in safety work. Wouldn't it be safe?

As for the person who would do such a thing...it's almost clear after thinking about it.

"The third and the fourth are crazy about the throne." Even though Shi Xiang was normally personable, he couldn't help feeling a little angry at this time.

"It's just a fool who pretends to be smart. Do you really think that this will remove the obstacle of the prince? I'm afraid it's in the arms of the emperor." Shi Yu snorted coldly, and Lian Ying was surprised when he heard these words. Having said that, looking at the expressions of the other two people, I couldn't help laughing: It seems that everyone thinks so, it really is to lure the snake out of the hole, but I don't know if it can be eradicated...

"But even so, these matters still need to be notified to the emperor." Lian Ying replied again.

"Well, that's natural. Our guesses are one thing, but I'm afraid that the third and fourth princes have other preparations, so they must report back." Jiang Bailang nodded in agreement.

Several people turned their horses' heads and were about to go back, but Lian Ying saw Shi Yu standing still on the spot with a serious expression on his face, and his black cockroach was also a little anxiously digging the soil under his hooves.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Shi Yu rode on the horse, although he looked steady, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, showing a trace of worry.

"What do you mean?" Shi Xiang didn't have time to turn around and ask, Jiang Bailang seemed to realize something, his face changed suddenly——

"There is an ambush near here, it seems that we can't leave for the time being."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen black shadows sprang out from the surrounding area, and someone was ambushing. It seems that this is the last move of the third and fourth princes. If the beasts in the mountains are not good, then these dozen or so black-clothed assassins will be foolproof, right? It's time to blame these mountain beasts again.

The four of them gradually gathered together, and the dozen or so men in black slowly surrounded them, only a pair of fierce eyes remained on the black veiled face, staring straight at the four in front of them.

"I didn't expect to meet the second prince and the fifth prince here. It seems like a coincidence." The voice of the person who spoke was hoarse, and he seemed to be the leader of these people. The murder is over."

Lian Ying frowned, knowing that these people really wanted to kill, didn't they say something, take people's money for sex, the four of them are afraid... especially myself, it is simply a burden to them, and this is Hunting, most of the other three people will not bring any useful weapons, and now they are really in trouble.

"Aren't you afraid that you will be killed after the incident is revealed after doing such treacherous things for the third and fourth princes? Do you really think that the third and fourth princes will be the masters? They will not succeed!" Jiang Bai While talking, Ron unobtrusively touched the dagger at his waist.

"Hmph, we took the money and finished the work and left. We're not under the two of them, so what are we afraid of?" The leader said, but his eyes moved to Jiang Bailang's waist, and he smiled contemptuously, "Advise that little Young master, don't struggle recklessly, the dozen or so of us here are all extraordinary in martial arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black beside him shook his hand, only to see a dark light slashing towards Jiang Bailang's waist hand, but it was a hidden weapon.Jiang Bailang quickly withdrew his hand, his face gloomy.

"Looks like we have to fight." Shi Xiang's complexion also sank, and the folding fan in his hand was slightly opened.

"That's natural, everyone must die!" The leader gave an order, and immediately several people around him flew up, directly approaching the four people in the center, making moves to kill them, all of which were deadly moves.The rest of the people stood in place, watching the fight in the middle coldly, unexpectedly these people were very conceited.

Seeing this, Shi Xiang, Shi Yu, and Jiang Bailang made their moves one after another, and at the same time they did not forget to ride their horses back to defend and protect Lian Ying behind them.

Lian Ying, who was guarded by three people in the center, could only see the shadow of swords and swords in front of him, with a murderous aura.At first the three of them still had the power to defend, but they had no weapons in their hands, they were outnumbered, and gradually fell into a disadvantage. After a while, all three of them were injured.

The three of them were gradually surrounded, getting closer and closer, and the men in black attacked more and more ruthlessly.

"It seems that we have to find a way. If this continues, we will all die here." Shi Xiang said while retreating and blocking.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, the point is what can we do at this time?" Jiang Bailang rolled his eyes and became anxious for a while, "This group of bastards, if it weren't for the fact that the young master didn't have a weapon in his hand, they could still tolerate it." Are they arrogant?"

"Just play lip service, how can we deal with these people now!" Shi Xiang refuted him mercilessly.

"Hey, stop bickering, you two, let's think about what to do at this time." Lian Ying hurriedly stopped the argument between the two.

The two were silent, and for a while they could only hear the sound of swords and swords.

"I have an idea." Shi Yu said at this moment.

"What do you think, tell me quickly!" Shi Xiang hurriedly asked while resisting with the folding fan in his hand.

"Two people rushed out to report to Father, and asked Father to send troops to help, and the remaining two stayed behind to hold them back." Shi Yu said simply.

"Good idea, the chances are better for two people to rush out, and the remaining two people will be safer." Jiang Bailang immediately agreed, without forgetting to compliment, "Brother Shi Yu is really smart."

"It's just who rushes out and who stays?" Shi Xiang continued to ask.

"Second brother and Bai Lang rushed out, while Ah Ying and I stayed."

"No, Ah Ying can't stay, it's too dangerous for him to stay!" Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang objected together, making Lian Ying feel warm.

"No matter who he rushes out with, it's a burden. I'm afraid he won't be able to rush out, so it's better to stay." Shi Yu said coldly.

Uh, although this is telling the truth, it is really annoying to listen to such a straightforward truth, Lian Ying is silently embarrassed.

"But……"

Jiang Bailang wanted to say something more, but Shi Xiang interrupted him: "Stop talking, Xiao Lang, just do it like this, but fifth brother, you must protect Ah Ying well, if there is any damage..."

"Don't worry, second brother, I will protect Ah Ying thoroughly." After Shi Yu finished speaking, the offensive became more fierce, and Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang also became fierce together. Those few people never thought that these three people still had spare strength. All are taken aback.

Just this moment of stupefaction, Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang looked at each other, and under the cover of Shi Yu, they tore a hole in the encirclement circle, and rushed in the direction they came while everyone was in a daze.

The leader was stunned and reacted instantly, and ordered the rest of the standing people sharply: "Hurry up and chase!"

The rest of the people used their lightness kung fu one after another, and hurriedly chased him away.

"Okay, how dare you play tricks!" The leader seemed to trust the abilities of his subordinates, so he didn't look any further, but glared angrily at Shi Yu and Lian Ying, who were still in the encirclement, and laughed strangely again , "Although these two people have rushed out, they must not be far away. With the two of you alone, I see how long they can last!"

Shi Yu saw that Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang were drifting away, but they would soon be overtaken by the rest of them. Under such circumstances, even charging would be difficult, so he couldn't help shouting to Lian Ying: "Give me your hand! "

Lian Ying was puzzled, but still stretched out his hand.Shi Yu grabbed hold of it and exerted all his strength. Lian Ying was dragged by him and flew onto his horse. Before he could catch his breath and calm his heartbeat, he was covered by something. The cloak wraps itself around itself.

Seeing the men who were attacking more and more fiercely, Shi Yu couldn't help but raised his lips, pulled the horse that Cai Lianying was riding just now, took out an arrow, and thrust it hard behind the horse's buttocks, the horse immediately neighed in pain, and then ignored He jumped up without hesitation, and went on a rampage, injuring two of the men in black.

Taking advantage of the concerns of the others, Shi Yu quickly drew out three more arrows, bowed his bow and set the arrows, and the arrows went towards the men in black who were chasing Shi Xiang and the others, killing the three of them in an instant. Shi Yu and Jiang Bailang took advantage of this golden opportunity to whip their horses and go further.

When the leader saw this, he became angry from embarrassment, and immediately shouted: "You guys, hurry up and kill these two!"

As soon as these words came out, those men in black rushed forward desperately, and Shi Yu's pressure suddenly increased.

Lian Ying was well protected in Shi Yu's arms. I don't know what the current battle situation is, but it is definitely not optimistic.In a blink of an eye, Shi Yu groaned, and he hurriedly asked, "Shi Yu, are you injured?"

Shi Yu clutched his bloody left arm, and his cold eyes swept over the men in black, making them hesitate.

"It's okay." He replied coldly, but Lian Ying didn't believe it, but what can the two of them do at this time?

Hearing the sound of fighting, Lian Ying became even more worried, and the arms holding Shi Yu's waist tightened even more.Shi Yu seemed to feel the tension and anxiety of the person in his arms, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and put Lian Ying's head on his chest. Looking at the people in front of him, he said calmly——

"Don't be afraid."

After a pause, he made up his mind and then asked the person in his arms in a low voice: "Now we can't hold on any longer, there are only two options, one is to continue fighting them to the death, until the second brother and the others bring rescuers; it's you and me People are now fleeing into the depths of the autumn forest, and the encirclement behind them is weak, if they escape, they dare not pursue deeply, it's just..."

Hearing these two choices, Lian Ying felt terrified, fearing that even if they escaped into the depths of the autumn forest, there would be many dangers in the depths, after all, they would be close to death, but if they chose one...they wouldn't be able to survive at all. At that time, it will be a dead end. If so, it is better to choose the second choice. Anyway, there is still a glimmer of life!

Shi Yu saw that he didn't answer, and when he was hesitant, he continued, "I still hope that Ah Ying will believe me."

Hearing the calmness and composure in his words, and feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat in his chest, for some reason, Lian Ying miraculously calmed down, and he actually let go of his heart, thinking that if he was with him, even if he was in trouble, so what? ?Naturally, he can rush out a bloody path!

Then he smiled slightly and said——

"Why does Shi Yu ask me, your choice is my choice!"

Shi Yu was calm when he heard the smile in his words, knowing that he had misunderstood earlier, and hearing his words again, the smile on his lips grew even bigger.

At this moment, he stopped hesitating and turned the horse's head around, startling the people behind him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he drove the crow and jumped over the head of the man, and rushed straight to the depths of the autumn forest behind the man.

The rest of the people reacted immediately, but were stopped by the leader before they could catch up.

"There's no need to chase them. If they break into the depths of the autumn forest, they will surely die. Let's get rid of those two brats who ran away. Let's go!"

With an order, the place where the fights continued just now fell silent, leaving only traces of fighting and blood on the ground...
