Chapter 69 Exactly Two Arrows

Yao Xuanci pursed his lower lip, restrained his thoughts and turned around, "Let's go to the place of exchange that Wen Boqing said first."

After dealing with An Wenlin and Zheng Ruyu, he will go to see Arjun again.

He quickly got on his horse, held the rein and turned around, looked back at the alley, and took a deep breath.

"Take all the horses and go to the send-off pavilion."

Outside Crane City, send away Pavilion.

Before noon, the sky was still gloomy and it seemed that it was going to rain. I don’t know when the dark clouds had dispersed, and the warm sunshine fell on the bushes and forests, dispelling a lot of loneliness and coldness.

Mo Ya was tied to the pillars of the pavilion by ropes, and the mottled tree shadow cast on him, his whole body was limp, and there was only a black-clothed dark guard holding a sword in the pavilion behind him.

Looking at the mountain road that was still empty, he took the opportunity to turn his head and whistle, "Hey, brother, it's about time, untie your ties."

He was sent by the young master to guard his wife. After being caught for so long, he had to be rescued by Mr. Wen in exchange for the second girl Zheng. It was shameful enough.

The dark guard said coldly, "Be honest."

This guy sleeps every day when he is full, and insists on chatting with others when he can't sleep. Right now, he can't stand the pain anymore.

Immediately, he glanced at the sky, counted the time secretly, and frowned.

The son of the Wen family has been late for almost 35 minutes, could it be that he has gone back on his word?

And Mo Ya was slapped fiercely, showing a bit of grievance and holding back his words, just turned his tightly bound wrists, when he heard the chaotic and rapid sound of horseshoes.

He turned his head with great effort, and saw a group of cavalry in light armor coming from the direction of Mocheng behind him, his eyes widened in shock.

What the hell do you mean, where did the crown prince's hidden guards find such a team of elite people?

As it was approaching, Mo Ya saw clearly the emblem flag raised by the leader on horseback, and his eyes almost went dark.

Fuck him, why did Wen Jiajun appear here?!

The prince succeeded in seizing the throne and sent someone to pick up Miss Zheng Er?It's over, once Mr. Wen comes, everything has to be explained here.

Looking at the winding mountain road in front of him, Mo Ya was burning with anxiety, and prayed anxiously that Mr. Wen must find out the abnormality of the sending away pavilion before he appeared.

But almost the next moment, a carriage staggered into view, and the hidden guard hiding in the dense forest behind him also showed his figure.

The cavalry leader at the head ignored the dark guards who were coming forward, got off his horse and threw the emblem flag to him to signal to retreat, waved to the brothers behind him, and ordered neatly, "Take them down."

The soldiers in light armor raised their swords and greeted them with murderous aura.

The secret guard was puzzled by his actions, "Are you sent by His Highness to rescue the second girl?"

The team leader glanced at him, "I was ordered by General Wen to come after Yao Xuanci. He secretly colluded with the Fourth Prince to assassinate His Highness, kidnapped His Highness and fled here."

The hidden guard hadn't received any news from the imperial city yet, so he was a little confused when he heard the words, but saw the team leader draw his sword suddenly with a murderous look, "There is an ambush!"

The Sending Pavilion is a pavilion built by Crane City along the mountain road down the mountain. It is next to the spacious loess mud road, and there are dense bushes on both sides.

Wen Bo arranged for the guards to arrive early in the morning to guard the place in advance. He originally wanted to hide the guards first, but who knew that he would witness the appearance of the Wen family army with his own eyes.

Now that the opponents are rushing over, it will be troublesome to hold back.

The men and horses of the two sides were entangled fiercely, and the clanking sound when the weapons clashed was extremely ear-piercing. Seeing this, the dark guard didn't ask much, and easily avoided the fighting place, and quickly and quietly approached the carriage.

Mo Ya was so anxious that he struggled harder in his hands to break free. He was so anxious that he was stabbed bloody by the porcelain piece in his palm and didn't care. He felt a little loose under the frantic struggle, and pulled hard with all his strength.

The hemp rope, which had been worn down a lot by the tiles, finally broke.

But there was a sneer from behind, "Want to escape?"

The sound of weapons breaking through the air followed.

A white shadow approached quickly, raised the knife to meet the sword.

The white crow kicked the opponent away, and took the time to shout at the stunned Mo Ya, "Don't look at the fool, just touch the knife and use it together!"

When the two of them finished fighting with one ruthless force, Mo Ya panted, "Why are you, when did you and Young Master arrive?"

"This group of chasing soldiers came after us." The white crow glanced at him and saw his jawline was much clearer. "Have you been starving and skinny after being locked up these days?"

Mo Ya nodded aggrievedly, didn't say much, and silently pulled up his pants, "Where is your son?"

"I'm looking for someone." Bai Ya let out a sigh of relief, "Your Highness the Fourth Highness has given a lot of people, today I have to beat this group of followers to death."

Mo Ya hastily pulled him back, "Where are Miss Zheng Er and the crown prince?"

...

The sound of fighting was very clear in the silent mountain road. Wen Boqing walked along the hidden path in the dense forest to the halfway up the mountain. The more remote he walked, the stronger the gaze from behind became.

He couldn't take it anymore, and turned his head to meet those cold phoenix eyes, "Can you stop staring at me like this?"

Yao Xuanci didn't say a word, his eyes glanced at the winding and steep rocks all around, and then fell back on him.

Wen Boqing immediately understood the meaning in his eyes, and immediately dismissed it, "Ah Shen found the place for Qiong'er, he likes to run around, it's none of my business."

"Qioner has already climbed two or three times by herself, and I am not familiar with this trail."

You can already see half of the Sending Pavilion here, and you can already see the bright red color clearly. Yao Xuanci noticed that someone was approaching the carriage, and it was the prince's secret guard.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to walk up, "You shouldn't let her get involved."

"How did I know it was such a coincidence that not only did you arrive, but you also attracted a group of pursuers."

Wen Boqing walked behind, and he also glanced at the fierce battle at Sending Li Pavilion, and even felt that the cold wind blowing just now was mixed with a faint smell of blood.

He followed Yao Xuanci's footsteps, "Can you leave the prince and Zheng Ruyu in the carriage?"

Yao Xuanci tilted his head slightly, "The prince is dead."

Wen Boqing was shocked immediately, "When?!"

"The night I arrived at the border town of Suzhou."

In the previous life, Yao Xuanci once again snatched back the control of his body, but he only chose to kill the prince with his own hands, and dived back into the depths of his consciousness again.

Yao Xuanci could vaguely guess that it was the reason why he was getting closer to Arjun.

He finds it ridiculous that Yao Xuanci in the previous life tried his best to compete with him, but now he feels timid when he wants to see her.

Probably this is their true reunion after their life and death in the previous life.

Yao Xuanci looked up and could already see the place Wen Boqing mentioned - a small hidden hill.

This place is not far from the straight line of the sending and leaving pavilion. You can clearly see everything that happens there. If you bend down a little, you won't be noticed, but there is only this small path up.

Good place for an ambush.

Wen Boqing had already fallen some distance away from Yao Xuanci, and was still shocked that the dignified prince had died quietly in an ordinary night.

As a result, there was no dark shadow flashing past behind him.

Wen Qiong stood on the hill, watching the fierce battle in the sent away pavilion, and looked down at the light bow in her hand.

"Shen." She looked at the young man beside her who was still fiddling with a bow and arrow, and said softly, "Are you sure?"

Ah Shen raised his chin confidently, "Don't worry, girl, it's fine!"

In the past few days Wen Qiong practiced arrows and knew that he was not strong enough, so he asked his elder brother to send someone to teach Ah Shen the essentials of archery.

Ah Shen has liked shooting birds and fishing since he was a child. His eyesight and talent are first-class, and he learns quickly and steadily.

Her eyes were good, and she saw Zheng Ruyu's red robe flashing through the curtain of the carriage that had been opened at a corner, and her panicked eyes looking out through the gap.

The horse was already dead, Zheng Ruyu wanted to leave, so he could only get off the carriage.

The thin white hand held the light bow tightly, "Are you afraid, Ah Shen?"

Ah Shen knew that Wen Qiong meant whether he was afraid of the tasks entrusted to him, he shook his head, "Young lady knows, Ah Shen has never been timid."

Wen Qiong let go of her hand slowly, as if convincing herself, "Then take an arrow."

Arrow out, no matter what the result is, we should look forward.

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the soldiers in light armor pulled Zheng Ruyu out, "Second Miss, be careful with swords."

As he spoke, he poked his head inside, "Where's Your Highness?"

Zheng Ruyu froze, jumped out of the carriage and hid behind the soldier, pulling him, "Your Highness seems to be in a coma, you find someone to carry him, let's go first."

The soldier didn't think much about it, he gestured to a brother, and then escorted Zheng Ruyu to escape to a safe place.

Wen Qiong pursed her lower lip, "Ah Shen, aim."

As soon as Ah Shen put on the bow and arrow, he was pulled away. The voice of the person behind him was low and familiar, "Leave it to me."

After hiding in a deserted place, the little soldier carrying An Wenlin on his back realized something was wrong. He fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and he was all too familiar with the image of the dead.

"His Royal Highness is dead!" The soldier's face was extremely ugly, "It's been a while since he died."

The general who led Zheng Ruyu to escape was startled, and immediately turned his head to stare at her, "Second girl?"

The second girl has been hiding in the carriage, it is impossible not to notice the abnormality of His Highness, and she lied to them just now.

"I don't know! He hasn't woken up since he was thrown into the carriage. I don't know if he is dead."

Zheng Ruyu desperately shrank behind the soldier leading her, saw a man in front of him fell to the ground after being slashed, his legs went weak from fright.

She grabbed the soldier's arm tightly and panicked, "I'm pregnant with His Highness's child, you can't leave me behind!"

The soldier general glanced at the prince who was obviously dead on the ground, and gritted his teeth, "You carry the prince on your back, go first."

After saying that, he pulled up Zheng Ruyu, who was so frightened that he had no strength, and was about to retreat in the same direction as he came, when he keenly heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the sky.

He reacted quickly, "Hurry up and hide!"

An arrow shot in the air, Zheng Ruyu saw the sharp arrow nailed into the tree trunk beside him, trembling all over, raised his eyes and saw the second sharp arrow coming, and without thinking, he pulled the soldier beside him to block him.

"Ugh—!"

The soldier had no time to react when a powerful arrow pierced through his chest, endured the severe pain and raised his head, his eyes were fierce, "You poisonous woman who will avenge her kindness!"

"I didn't do it on purpose, I...why do you look at me like this, protecting me is what you should do, is it enough to reward you with some gold and silver?"

He was furious at Zheng Ruyu's straightforward words, the strength of the soldiers was gradually disappearing, the battle was not over yet, this time he probably wouldn't survive, how could he spend gold and silver!

All these fools!

He was filled with hatred, and pulled out the empty arrow from the tree trunk. Seeing this, Zheng Ruyu ran away in a hurry, but was easily knocked down by the general.

"Don't, you stop! Ah——!!!"

...

"Just two arrows."

Yao Xuanci put down his longbow, his eyes dropped, "You shoot, I shoot, can I go back to the city now?"

"Mother-in-law should be very anxious when you come out this time."
