260.Chapter 260
Hearing that the Grand Duke was mainly competing with Mu Xiaofeng for riding, the track was immediately filled with people.
Mu Xiaofeng walked slowly to the runway, and from time to time the corner of his eyes swept over the crowd that was becoming more and more crowded, looking at the elated appearance of those people. Secretly hooked his lips, these people are lively.
But she thought, most of them were drunkards who didn't mean to be in the bar.
The girl narrowed her eyes, her gaze clear and cold. Also, if there are fewer people, how can it be good to create an accident for her in the arena
If Mu Xiaofeng doesn't walk fast, it is even more impossible for the eldest princess to walk fast. It is impossible for Chu Zhenlie to wait for Mu Xiaofeng on the runway with the dignity of a princess, not to mention that the eldest princess is still arrogant and domineering.
The reason why Mu Xiaofeng walked over slowly was to take advantage of this time to take a look at the people watching from the sidelines.
The periphery was crowded with people, and it seemed that they were all ordinary people watching the excitement. But when Mu Xiaofeng passed by a man with an ordinary appearance but wearing light gray clothes, a sharp cold tingling sensation suddenly surged in his heart. There was a strange faint feeling of anger that spread endlessly, her eyes flashed, and she immediately withdrew her gaze.
My heart slowly became more like falling into an ice cellar, and I was chilled to the bone.
"Mu Xiaofeng, don't you have to wait until the sun goes down to come over to compete?"
Mu Xiaofeng glanced over, it was a girl with a sneering face but used to look at people from the corner of her eyes, she remembered that this girl had always walked with Li Liyan during the wind appreciation banquet, her name was Xue Youru, and her father was seeking a job under Mrs. Li.
She smiled faintly, it seemed that someone wanted to fight for Li Liyan. Or, she wants to take the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule her, so that Princess Celestia will look at her differently.
Mu Xiaofeng naturally didn't pay attention to this kind of cat-to-dog barking, she slowly led the horse to the runway and waited, and after a while, the eldest princess also appeared.
The warden didn't have much to say, but when he saw that both of them were ready, he immediately gestured and shouted, "Begin." ”
Mu Xiaofeng will not deliberately fight for the first and second, but he is not willing to fall too far behind, so as not to let people get sick in Mufu. So this will be her speed is neither fast nor slow, only keep a certain distance from the eldest princess and follow unhurriedly.
In addition to controlling the speed, she also has to secretly pay attention to the black hand of the eldest princess hidden in the crowd to watch the excitement, when she will make a move, and how to create an accident for her.
Of course, although Mu Xiaofeng is dual-minded, he will definitely not look absent-minded on his face. She knew the temper of this eldest princess very well, and if she dared to show a trace of disrespect, she was afraid that Chu Zhenlie would immediately find an excuse to attack her.
Although Chu Zhenlie could see that she was running hard, he was obviously very dissatisfied with her mediocre running mode, and after snorting coldly in front, he suddenly patted the horse's back and sped up.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes were slightly cold.
It can't be seen that she is not doing her best, and it is not possible for Princess Celestia to see that she intends to fall behind. Her brows furrowed, and she slapped her horse and chased after her with a slight groan.
However, just as she was about to catch up with Celestia, there was a sudden flash of light in the crowd. At this time, the sun was just right, and it stands to reason that Mu Xiaofeng would not notice this random flash of light.
However, her six senses were sensitive to ordinary people, and at the same time as the bright light passed, her eyebrows jumped, and she felt a slight murderous aura from the crowd that she was trying to rein.
The body suddenly tensed. But I was sneering in my heart, and finally came.
An inconspicuous small short arrow was placed on the bow, Mu Xiaofeng squinted, and secretly guessed that it should be a short arrow made of fine iron.
The small bow that covered the cold light with a black cloth suddenly and silently pulled up from the crowd and aimed directly at Mu Xiaofeng, who was galloping forward.
Mu Xiaofeng sneered, according to the current situation, that short arrow would definitely be able to pierce her head with one arrow. At hunting conventions, it is not uncommon for an arrow to hurt or accidentally shoot someone to death, and even if her family realizes that something is wrong, there is no reason to stand up for her in a righteous and solemn manner.
Besides, even if her family stood up at that time, Emperor Chu would not pay attention to it.
It's no wonder that the Grand Duke chose to kill her on such an occasion.
The man in light gray clothes who was hidden in the crowd must have been very strong in his arms if he was sure to shoot her with such a short bow at such a long distance.
Mu Xiaofeng squinted slightly, and his heart suddenly became colder and angrier.
There is no doubt that that person is the murderous killer who directly kills Hongyu.
Ahead, the distance between Celestia and her widened again.
Mu Xiaofeng lowered his eyes and sneered lowly. No longer distracted from the man in the light gray robe in the crowd, nor did he care if he had drawn the short bow in his hand, ready to give her a fatal arrow at any moment.
Instead, he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled lightly, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and chased after the eldest princess with a clear voice.
Just as she was about to catch up with Celestia, she heard the faint sound of a cold blade breaking through the air.
Before the short arrow could get close, she suddenly stabbed the dagger hidden in her wrist into the horse's back, and the horse was in pain, and suddenly galloped wildly under her feet, and only crossed the eldest princess in an instant.
Almost at the same time, the short arrow, which could not penetrate the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, flew behind her in a thrilling way.
According to Mu Xiaofeng's calculations, after the castration short arrow was not blocked by her, it would definitely hit the eldest princess with the most ferocious force.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was also a good person, and after seeing her cross her at first glance, she was shocked, but she immediately changed her body and quickly fell forward.
The short arrow that flew from Mu Xiaofeng's back did not hit Mu Xiaofeng, and naturally it did not hit the eldest princess, but passed through the eldest princess's back.
After a slight sound, Mu Xiaofeng saw that the eldest princess slapped her horse again to catch up with her.
And when the eldest princess crossed her, she also showed her a slight appreciation but excited and cruel eyes, and then she saw that the eldest princess's delicate riding costume had been torn on her back, and the straight hole was faintly oozing dazzling red blood.
Mu Xiaofeng pursed his lips, not too surprised by the result of taking risks and fighting for courage, but not causing great harm to the eldest princess.
She knew that Chu Zhenlie was not as arrogant as he looked; On the contrary, this woman is first-class and difficult in terms of her ability to change and her brain.
Even though her back was injured, Princess Celestia still insisted on running the whole distance, and did not take the opportunity to make a fuss because of her status as a princess.
This made Mu Xiaofeng both surprised and expected.
At the finish line, Mu Xiaofeng looked at the eldest princess who had crossed the red line and turned the horse's head to look at her with unknown meaning, carefully got off the horse, stood in front of the eldest princess, and said slowly, "Eldest princess, you won the game." ”
However, in other life-and-death races, you may not be the final winner.
The eldest princess was on the horse, still in a haughty and domineering posture, looking at her condescendingly with half-squinted eyes, and said meaningfully, "Mu Xiaofeng, you are not bad." ”
was able to dodge an arrow that the gray armor would have hit.
Mu Xiaofeng smiled modestly, "The eldest princess praises falsely." ”
Princess Celestia's eyes swept over her face, and then she haughtily raised her head and rode away.
When the eldest princess walked away, Mu Xiaofeng silently breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped the fine sweat that slowly oozed from his forehead. When life and death are at stake, she will be nervous in her heart.
However, since she wants to use the calculation of the eldest princess to find out the mad demon who really killed Hongyu, it is worth taking some risks.
Mu Xiaofeng thought that the eldest princess would take at least a day and a half off before continuing to trouble her, however, she obviously underestimated the princess's stubborn temper.
After the game, she had just gone down to change into her riding clothes, when she saw the maidservant girl who had introduced her to the eldest princess before, holding a more luxurious and exquisite riding costume, and said, "Miss Mu, the eldest princess, please change into this new riding costume, and go to the hunting area of the right mountain to wait." ”
Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said lightly, "The eldest princess invited me to go hunting together."
The handmaid nodded expressionlessly, "This is the order of the eldest princess." ”
The implication is that whether you like it or not, Her Royal Highness the princess has ordered, and you have to go.
Mu Xiaofeng sneered in her heart, it seems that the eldest princess has already thought of using her identity to block her retreat, she will just say that she can't shoot arrows, and this excuse is not useful.
She motioned for Qing Ruo to take the riding suit from the handmaid, and said lightly, "Please go back and report to the eldest princess, I will definitely participate on time," she glanced at the obviously expensive riding suit in Qing Ruo's hand, and said, "Well, please be sure to convey my gratitude to the eldest princess for me, I like the clothes she gave me very much." ”
The maidservant pursed her lips, not hiding much of her contempt for Mu Xiaofeng in her heart.
nodded without being salty, and responded, "The slave will tell me, please ask Miss Mu to change her clothes quickly." ”
After that, he retreated after blessing Mu Xiaofeng.
This etiquette is standard, but the attitude of arrogant disdain above the top is really flattering.
When she walked away, Qingruo couldn't help frowning, and whispered, "If there is really a master, there is a servant." ”
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, chuckled and corrected leisurely, "Oh, Qingruo, I think the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, this statement is more reasonable." ”
Qingruo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and her face, which was originally cold and taut, immediately became a flower that bloomed after the snow melted in spring.
But when she saw that Mu Xiaofeng had already changed into the riding clothes that the eldest princess had sent by herself, she couldn't help but worry at once, "Miss, do you really want to wear this outfit?"
Qing Ruo's voice was kept very low, although their master and servant were in the dressing room right now, who knew if there would be countless ears on the partition wall.
Mu Xiaofeng blinked her bright and sparkling eyes, looked at her innocently and said, "The riding costume sent by the eldest princess is much more beautiful than the one I originally prepared, of course I have to wear it." Besides, this is a good intention from Princess Celestia, how can I live up to it"
