Chapter 13: Three Arrows

Mu Junning met Yu Wenxuan's forced gaze and nodded firmly: "Okay, I promise you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Unexpectedly, Mu Junning answered so refreshingly, Yu Wenxuan was surprised for a moment, and laughed out loud after coming back to his senses, the gentleness and elegance of the past had long since disappeared, and it was replaced by a cold and bloodless one, with smiling eyes like knives.

At this time, the soldier who had left earlier returned with a white horse and a cloak.

Yu Wenxuan waved his hand at the soldiers below, and the city gate slowly opened under Mu Junning's gaze, raising a gust of wind and sand loess. She squinted and looked out of the city gate, and there was a huge open space in the background, estimating that there was an area of more than ten acres of land, which should be the place where the palace practiced on weekdays, and at the end of the open space was a city gate, with the opening of the White Tiger Gate, the outer city gate also slowly opened at the same time.

Tong Chuhan is right, there is indeed a dense forest outside the city gate.

There were two loud bangs, the two city gates were opened, the wind passed through the training ground, the yellow sand on the ground was rolling, and the lush green of the outer city gate suddenly disappeared.

Everyone dispersed, Mu Junning took the cloak and reins handed by the soldier, put them on, turned over and got on the horse, and the action was like flowing water.

Seeing Mu Junning riding a horse out of the White Tiger Gate, Yu Wenxuan walked to the other side of the city wall, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "As long as you avoid the three arrows and ride out before the outer city gate is closed, then I will let you go and never break my word." ”

Mu Junning glanced back at Yu Wenxuan on the city tower, silent, she pulled her gaze back to the outer city gate, not wanting to delay any longer, her right hand pulled the reins, and the white horse jumped out and flew towards the outer city gate like an arrow. At the same time, the newly opened outer gate also slowly closed, but the closing speed was slower than when it was opened.

On the top of the city tower, Yu Wenxuan also picked up a bow and slowly wound the bow, and the arrow pointed directly at Mu Junning's heart.

Mu Junning moves very fast on horseback, and a breath is a distance of tens of meters, but Xirong, who was born in Yuwenxuan, has always ruled the world on horseback, so it is not difficult to target people who are riding horses and galloping, not to mention that Mu Junning walks in a straight line in order to get out of the city gate early, so it is better for him to shoot a feather arrow after estimating the distance and speed.

The feather arrow is moving forward at a rapid speed of breaking through the air, when she hears the wind, the feather arrow is only a few meters away from Mu Junning, at such a speed, it is almost impossible to steer the horse to turn, between the thoughts and thoughts, the feather arrow is imminent, she can't care too much, hurriedly wraps her hands around the head of the white horse, leans over the horse's back, just as she is lying down, the feather arrow "swoops" and grazes her hair, falling on the loess not far ahead.

An arrow failed, and Yu Wenxuan took another feather arrow.

The arrows grazed the hair, the bun spread out, and the three thousand ink hair were draped behind him like a waterfall, and with the posture of the white horse galloping, it crossed a graceful arc. Mu Junning sat up from the horse, holding the reins tightly in his right hand, panting violently, his internal strength had not recovered much, it was reluctant to avoid the first arrow just now, if he continued like this, it would be difficult to resist even the second arrow. As she thought, she clamped her legs around the horse's belly and tugged on the reins to turn.

Yu Wenxuan was not surprised by this, and the direction of the arrow moved smoothly with the rotation of the horse, almost exactly the same.

Against Yu Wenxuan, who had practiced riding and shooting since he was a child, Mu Junning's every movement basically couldn't escape his eyes.

At this time, the city gate was already half closed, but Mu Junning was still more than half a distance away from it, and if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to go out before the city gate was closed.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the corners of Yu Wenxuan's lips hooked a sneering arc, and the full bowstring was about to be loosened, however, a dazzling light suddenly lit up from the rolling yellow sand, and he was suddenly shocked, and the feather arrow immediately lost its head, and flew crookedly less than ten meters in front of the city tower.

Seeing the second arrow falling, Mu Junning breathed a sigh of relief, just now, in a moment, she remembered that there was still a pair of pink crystal earrings hanging on her earlobes, thinking that it might refract a little light and confuse Yu Wenxuan, so she took it off and threw it into the air.

Unfortunately, this plan is no longer possible.

While Yu Wenxuan was preparing the third arrow, Mu Junning galloped wildly, his speed was more than twice as fast as just now, and the distance from the outer city gate gradually decreased.

was plotted, Yu Wenxuan's face turned pale with anger, and the anger that he had been holding back couldn't help but burst out, he threw the bow in his hand to the side, and personally took another heavy bow that looked golden, compared to ordinary bows, this beautifully carved bow, the range is three times higher, if it is paired with special arrows, it is even more powerful, even if it encounters a strong wind, it can move forward without being affected at all.

The outer city gate was in front of him, and Jun Ning no longer went around in circles and went straight to the past. The dark cloak was blown to the sound of hunting, and in order to reduce resistance, she was about to lie on the back of the horse, but her eyes were unwavering to look ahead.

Fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters......

Little by little, the distance decreased, and the outer gate was already closed for the most part, leaving only the width of two horses.

Yu Wenxuan held the big bow in his hand, looked at Mu Junning's back with a fierce face, and the hand holding the feather arrow was bruised because of nervousness, and suddenly, as soon as the strength of the hand was loosened, the feather arrow flew out with a whirlwind, which was sharper than the first arrow.

Feeling the urgent and strong force behind him, a flash of horror flashed in Mu Junning's eyes, and she wanted to lean over to avoid it, but in this way, the horse's speed must have slowed down, and the outer city gate was only the width of a horse's body, so she couldn't worry too much. So, she reined in the horse, and the white horse had to raise its head and neigh, taking this opportunity, Jun Ning clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward, and the horse jumped out of the city gate from a height of several meters.

Just as the horse had fully rushed through, the outer gate finally slammed shut, and the feather arrow fell to the side, almost half of which was lost to the ground.

It may be that the last leap is too strong, the white horse suddenly jolted violently after leaving the city gate, Jun Ning was thrown off fiercely for a while, his back fell to the ground, and he was almost shocked to the point that a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Suddenly, a burst of sharp pain came from the abdomen, Mu Junning was stunned, slowly lowered his head, and saw a cloud of red constantly spreading on the cyan, like a delicate peony, blooming.

She couldn't dodge that arrow after all......

***

"Commander, you go and get the third arrow back, I want to see if that woman has been hit by the arrow." Yu Wenxuan ordered with a cold face.

"Yes." The commander of the capital took the order, but in a few moments, the feather arrow was retrieved.

Yu Wenxuan took the feather arrow, only to see that there was only a little loess dust and sand on the arrow made of refined iron, and there was no mottled bloodstain, his condensed face suddenly relaxed a little, and he raised his eyes to look into the distance, unable to tell whether he was sad for himself, or the comfort of the person who did not hit the last arrow, inexplicable emotions were mixed together, and his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.

The commander stood quietly aside, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yu Wenxuan's movement of brushing the feather arrow, and his heart was about to burst out, until the emperor returned the feather arrow to him without any suspicion, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that this feather arrow was not sent by Yu Wenxuan at the beginning, but was given to him by a certain adult on the order of the Queen Mother.

As for the real feathered arrows, he had seen them, most of them were stuck in the ground, and the remaining exposed parts were almost stained with blood, and the feathers at the end of the arrows were scattered and sparse. There is no doubt that Concubine Ning must have been hit by an arrow, and it was the kind that pierced through the body.

It's just that the lord confessed that the emperor must not know about this, so he replaced it with an arrow that was exactly the same as the blood-stained feather arrow......

***

The dense forest outside the west gate is not very big as the hunting place of Xirong monarchs and ministers on weekdays, the shadows of the trees are sparse, the sunlight reflects a beam of light through the leaves, there are occasionally smaller animals on the side, the cicadas and birds are singing endlessly, it is very quiet and beautiful and comfortable.

Mu Junning clicked a few big points on his body, and after barely stopping the bleeding, he walked deeper. Suddenly, a strange wind moved, and more than a dozen figures with sharp swords in their hands fell from the sky, each wrapped in black clothes, revealing only two sharp eyes.

By the time she realized that something was wrong, she was already surrounded by everyone.

"Who are you?" Mu Junning wrapped her cloak tightly and said with a light smile, if she didn't pay close attention, she would never find a trace of pain flashing on her cold face.

The man in black did not answer, but slowly narrowed the encirclement, and when he was still about ten feet away from Mu Junning, he suddenly attacked in groups, blocking all her retreats. Seeing the tip of the sword approaching, just as he was about to pierce into the skin, he took a deep breath and quickly turned sideways to avoid the stabbing move, and at the same time, his right hand slashed at the back of the neck of one of the men in black and snatched the weapon in his hand.

There was a man in black who did not join the battle formation, but held his hands and watched, he keenly noticed that when Mu Junning avoided the killing move, the air around him did not have obvious internal force fluctuations, and his movements were slightly clumsy, as if he was powerless. In this way, she is not as confident and calm as she seems. The corners of the black-clothed man's lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were fixed on Mu Junning's movements.

Mu Junning wielded a long sword and assassinated three black-clothed men who carelessly underestimated the enemy, but there were eleven people left, and she really couldn't beat them. In addition, the wound in the abdomen was gurgling and bleeding a lot, almost staining the dark cloak on his body, his face was already pale, and he was leaning on the trunk of the tree and panting.

"She was seriously injured, and she was quick to solve the problem." The man in black, who had never joined the battle formation, suddenly spoke, looking at Jun Ning with contempt.

When the black-clothed men heard this, their fighting spirit was suddenly aroused, and they attacked again.

Mu Junning held a sword in his hand and resisted desperately, but because of excessive blood loss, his head was dizzy, his vision gradually blurred, and the black-clothed man who was watching began to ghost. Relying on the fluctuation of the wind and internal force, she barely took a few more moves, and suddenly, a fierce wind came towards her, and all the people in black avoided it, and the palm of the man in black containing ninety percent of the internal force hit her chest hard.

Jun Muning took a few steps back sharply and unloaded part of her palm power, but her internal organs were still severely frustrated, and the remaining internal strength was rampaging in her body, forcing her to spurt out a mouthful of blood, staggering and falling to the ground, but she still barely supported it with her sword body. Seeing this, all the men in black stepped forward one after another and put their swords on her neck, and the man in black who took the lead also drew the soft sword at his waist and pointed the tip of the sword at her throat.

"Is it the Queen Mother or Yu Wenxuan who wants to take my life?" Mu Junning spoke calmly, and slowly stood up with all the strength of his body. The dark cloak that was originally tightly wrapped was scattered on the ground, revealing the clothes that were originally cyan but now red.

The man in black who took the lead was slightly stunned, frowned lightly and simply said two words - "Queen Mother".

"It's her......" Hearing the answer, Mu Junning suddenly smiled lightly, threw down the sword in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes with a comfortable expression, "Then let's do it." ”

She was actually really glad that this time, it wasn't Yun Shuhua's hand, it was really ......

Dying here like this might not be a bad thing. Anyway, this life owed to him has to be repaid after all, isn't it?

The man in black who took the lead slowly moved his sword down, and finally stopped at Mu Junning's heart and stabbed it fiercely......
