After his companion was killed, two more assassins gave chase. The other person followed the direction of the arrow to search for the archer hiding in the dark.
However, he did not even have the chance to see the other partys appearance before his head was pierced by an arrow!
Looking at the assassin who flew out and fell to the ground, Qin Jiang’s hair stood on end!
When did the Divine Bow Camp… produce such a ruthless archer?
Su Cheng ran wildly ahead. He knew that someone was chasing after him.
He turned around.
One was missing.
He turned around again and saw that there were fewer of them.
When he turned around for the third time, all the assassins chasing him had disappeared.
It was… quite confusing.
After dealing with the last two assassins, Qin Jiang was also injured. He sat on the ground, panting.
Behind a vine in the distance, an ice-cold arrow was aimed at him.
Suddenly, a well-defined hand gently pressed on the arrow.
“We can’t kill him. If Qin Jiang dies, Uncle will look very suspicious. At that time, there might even be witnesses who will jump out and insist that Uncle instructed them to assassinate Qin Jiang. His Majesty doesn’t want Uncle to obtain military power. No matter how Uncle proves his innocence, His Majesty will use this opportunity to convict Uncle.” The bow and arrow slowly descended.
In the next second.
The big bow was suddenly raised. The arrow left the bowstring and hit Qin Jiang’s thigh!
Qin Jiang let out a miserable scream. “Ah!”
Su Cheng, who had already gone far away, looked at the startled birds in the forest. “Oh, why do I seem to hear Qin Jiang’s scream again?
“If something happens to Qin Jiang, will they suspect me?”
“But there are so manv of them. If thev kill me too. won’t I lose the chance to be
suspected… Forget it, I’ll save my life first!”
Several tents were set up at the entrance of the hunting ground.
In the largest tent, Emperor Jing Xuan was testing military tactics on sandtable with Qin Canglan and the Old Marquis.
This was the entertainment of Emperor Jing Xuan and the generals. It was more interesting than playing chess.
The princes, Princess Jingning, and Princess Hui An watched the battle from the side.
Princess Hui An felt bored and yawned repeatedly.
A figure flashed past the door. Princess Jingning gave Tao Zhi a look.
Taozhi understood and walked out with the empty fruit plate.
Not long after, she entered the tent and reported to Princess Jingning in a low voice.
Princess Jingning said to Xiao Zhonghua, “Third Brother, I want to eat oranges.”
Princess Hui An snorted coldly and said, “If you want to eat oranges, get someone to pick them yourself. Why are you asking my Third Brother?” Third Brother was hers!
Xiao Zhonghua looked at Princess Jingning without batting an eyelid and said with a smile, “Coincidentally, Hui An likes it too. I’ll go pick some for you.”
These words sounded like they were picked for Princess Hui An. Princess Hui An enjoyed it and let go of Xiao Zhonghua’s arm.
Xiao Zhonghua left the tent and saw Su Yu, who seemed to be passing by.
“Is it for the Duke of Zhenbei? The Duke of Zhenbei is deducing the sand table with my father. Don’t worry, I’ll remind him to take the medicine.” After Xiao Zhonghua finished speaking, he took the medicine bottle from Su
Yu.
Su Yu looked at the patrolling imperial guards and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
After Su Yu left, a young eunuch carried snacks into the tent.
Xiao Zhonghua looked at him meaningfully.
Not long after, Xiao Duye came out with an ugly expression.
Seeing Xiao Zhonghua at the door, Xiao Duye’s expression stiffened slightly.
In the next second, Xiao Duye smiled and said, “Third Brother, why are you standing outside?”
Xiao Zhonghua said warmly, “Oh, I’ll be going in soon. Why did you come out?”
Xiao Duye’s smile did not change. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that something might have happened to Lord Qin and the Protector Duke after going in for so long. I plan to bring people in to look for them.” Xiao Zhonghua said gently, “I’ll go with Big Brother.”
“There’s no need, Third Brother.”
“I’ll go report to Father.”
After Xiao Zhonghua finished speaking, he entered the tent without waiting for Xiao Duye’s reply.
“Father has agreed.”
Xiao Zhonghua said to Xiao Duye after he came out.
Xiao Duye put on a fake smile and said, “Then, I’ll have to trouble Third Brother to come with me.”
Princess Jingning walked out. “Wait, I’ll go too.”
Xiao Duye said seriously, “Jingning, don’t mess around. The forest is a hunting ground. It’s very dangerous.”
Princess Jingning said lightly, “I’m just going in to hunt a little rabbit. My two brothers can protect me, right?”
Xiao Duye’s mother was a Jade Concubine. She was one grade lower than Xiao Zhonghua’s mother and was currently attached to the Empress.
Furthermore, the power of her maternal family was not outstanding..
