Chapter 699

Li Yuyun waved his hand lightly, "It's okay." When the flowers are picked, this son has his own way to bring them back to Beijing. ”

"No! it's too dangerous to go up the mountain!" objected the celebrant.

"This son is not afraid. After Li Yu finished speaking, regardless of the reaction of the others, he took the horse in the hands of the little gong guard, and turned over on the horse neatly, "This son of the world will take the first step, and we will meet in Xihuang." ”

Li Yu's move was too sudden, and before everyone could react, he had already galloped towards Tianyun Mountain on horseback.

Canaan secretly screamed badly, could it be that Li Yu had already noticed that they had set up an ambush in the canyon, and knew that it would be the place where his bones would be buried? This prince obediently followed them all the way, could it be that it was to lower their vigilance and want to escape at this time?

Thinking so, Canaan's eyes sharpened, and he gestured to his subordinates, "Stop!"

As soon as Canaan gave an order, dozens of his guards immediately turned on their horses and chased in the direction where Li Yu left. The forbidden soldiers who were ordered to guard Li Yu glanced at each other, and they also turned on their horses and chased after them.

All of a sudden, the horses' hooves were covered with snow and dust, and the civil officials of the Ministry of Rites raised their sleeves to cover their faces.

"This prince of Hengyang has no discipline in his heart, and it is too disagreeable!" This time, the deputy envoy looked angry and said to Xue Xingyi, "My lord, how can this be good?"

Xue Xingyi looked at Li Yu's distant back indifferently and did not speak.

Li Yu is worthy of having been trained in the Donglin military camp, and his riding skills are quite good. In this place where the water turned into ice, and if you accidentally stepped on it, the snow would reach your knees, but he rode like a horse, like galloping on the flat ground. The Daji people who were chasing after him were at least five horses behind him, and several of the forbidden troops, who were not accustomed to the terrain here, had already fallen into the snowdrifts with their horses.

Seeing this, the prince of Canaan was even more convinced that Li Yu's move had been planned for a long time, he couldn't stand still, and said to Xue Xingyi: "I'll go and chase Li Yu back, and I'll bother Lord Xue here." ”

Xue Xingyi didn't speak, Canaan thought he had acquiesced, and immediately took a few personal guards and turned over on his horse.

At this time, Xue Xingyi stretched out his hand to the entourage Mo Nong on the side, and Mo Nong immediately took off the bow hanging on the horse and handed it to Xue Xingyi. Xue Xingyi took out an arrow from his quiver, put it on the bow, and raised his hand to aim at Li Yu, who was about to disappear on the mountain road.

Seeing this, the faces of several ceremonial officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty changed, and they glanced at each other. They all knew in their hearts that the identity of the prince of Hengyang was embarrassing, and His Majesty must not want him to return to Beijing alive, but they didn't expect Lord Xue to dare to shoot the prince of Hengyang in public. If the prince of Hengyang really died at the hands of Lord Xue, after these witnesses returned to Beijing, they didn't know what would happen to them.

But none of the people present dared to stand up to stop Xue Xingyi, they were so afraid that it was not Lord Xue, but Emperor Tiancheng behind Lord Xue.

Xue Xingyi didn't mean to explain to anyone, the arrow in his hand shot out, the arrow grazed the arm of Canaan who had just run out, and the strong murderous aura instantly cut through the thick leather jacket on Canaan's body, and the horse under the crotch was so frightened that he raised his front hooves, and the inertia almost threw Canaan off the horse. Fortunately, Canaan's riding skills are also very good, and one leans over to stabilize the center of gravity.

Canaan's guards thought that someone was assassinated behind him and was about to protect the lord, but they found that the arrow was heading towards the prince of Hengyang. extraordinary

The arrow may have been blocked by Canaan, slightly off, and finally did not hit Li Yu, but shot at Li Yu's buttocks. At such a distance, Canaan blocked it in the middle, and one-third of the arrow body sank into the horse's hips, which shows how ruthless Xue Xingyi's arrow is.

Li Yu's forelimbs suddenly snapped and fell out heavily. Li Yu fell off his horse and rolled on the snow several times before he unloaded his strength. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and quickly turned over with the inertia of rolling, and immediately looked back in the direction where the arrow came from after standing firm.

Xue Xingyi missed an arrow, calmly stretched out his hand to the quiver, took out another arrow, and aimed at it with a bow, this time he aimed at Li Yu's eyebrows.

Although the distance was a little far, Li Yu still saw Xue Xingyi's movements clearly, he raised his eyebrows and did not move.

Xue Xingyi didn't shoot this arrow either, but looking at the cold killing intent in his eyes and the tense state of his arm, no one doubted that as long as Li Yu dared to take another step up the mountain, he would release the arrow.

Everyone felt this tense atmosphere, and the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were silent, and even Canaan reined in his horse's head and stopped.

When the two were at a stalemate, the guards and janissaries sent out by Canaan caught up with Li Yu and surrounded him.

Li Yu smiled at Xue Xingyi, pointed to a forbidden army and asked him to dismount, then turned over and got on the horse, and came back slowly on his horse under the vigilant eyes of everyone.

Canaan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yu, who was getting off the horse: "Shizi, if you want a snow lotus, it's a big deal that I will send someone to pick it for you." It's dangerous in the mountains, so why should you risk it yourself. ”

Li Yu glanced at the bow in Xue Xingyi's hand, smiled and said, "It's really dangerous." It's okay, you send someone, it's going to be dark when it's late, and this son doesn't like to walk at night. ”

Canaan said this casually, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Li Yu really asked him to send someone to pick flowers, but it didn't take much trouble for them to pick a flower, so he nodded to his guards and asked him to take someone there.

Anyway, let's stabilize Li Yu first.

"There is a son of Rau Canaan. The son of the world is worthy of being a person who is about to get married, and he is knowledgeable and interesting. Li Yu glanced at Xue Xingyi and said jokingly, "Unlike Lord Xue, his heart is as hard as iron and he has no interest, no wonder he is still single." ”

Li Yuming's swaying ridicule made everyone present look embarrassed, and they didn't dare to look at Xue Xingyi's face. Lord Xue's arrow just now didn't scare Li Yu, but it scared the others enough.

Xue Xingyi just glanced at Li Yu coldly, threw the bow to the attendant, and said to Canaan: "Let's go." ”

Li Yu raised his hand and flicked the snow particles stained on the fox fur cloak, and said in a casual tone: "What kind of journey are you going?

Everyone found out that if Lord Xue is as hard as iron, then the prince of Hengyang is as hard as iron. These two are really rivals.

Canaan advised, "I have already sent people, and when the time comes, they will catch up after picking flowers." ”

"That's not going to work. You also said that the flower will soon melt when it leaves the ice and snow, and your people are unprepared, so don't bring me a handful of water when the time comes. After Li Yu finished speaking, he unhurriedly took out a jade box slightly larger than the palm of his hand from his sleeve pocket, and he didn't know what it was made of.
