It was similar to the previous assassinations, they were deadly and murderous, and left me with little room to retreat, but this time I was different, this time I did not show mercy as before, nor did I restrain my hands as before.

I let go very openly, jumping, turning, oblique, shooting, countless silver lights flashed around me, countless lights disappeared in my eyes, blood flowers flickered, instantly into my eyes, and then turned to ashes.

Gorgeous, or simply indifferent.

When I had only the last arrow left in my quiver, I simply fell from my horse to the ground.

Holding the tail end of the feathered arrow in one hand, I smiled at the enemy in front of me, but my eyes were very empty, not even the most basic indifference.

I'm not an ignorant wooden man, I can feel it when an arrow pierces my heart.

I'm not a homicidal either, I don't like to kill.

I'm not excited, and I don't want to be sentimental.

Maybe it's just numbness, or maybe I just want to get it done quickly.

But actually, I am the one who wants to stay here the most.

"You...... Really...... "People ......" slowly slid to the ground, and the last masked man stared at me with wide eyes, pain and shock.

I pulled the arrow out of him and plunged it into the blood-stained ground.

"I am."

That's why I killed you to save your lives.

The sun overhead was approaching noon, and the temperature in the forest began to rise, and the smell of blood everywhere was creeping, and it was floating in the air in a short time.

I was dizzy with the gore, but I quickly got used to the taste.

Turning over my horse, I looked up at the soft white clouds in the sky, my eyes deepened, and finally rode away.

By the time I came out of the hunting grounds, the first half of the day had already ended. In front of the tent, patrolling and patrolling, lighting fires, some people were talking about this morning's hunting experience, some people were showing off the prey they had hit, and some people had been waiting for me.

Or rather, I'm waiting for the deceased.

"Your Majesty Emperor Qi." I got off my horse and bowed to Emperor Qi.

Emperor Qi's complexion did not change, he was still gentle and gentle, he looked at me with an indifferent expression, and raised his hand slightly to help me up.

"Shen Xiang has only been back for so long, he must have hit something good?"

I lowered my eyes and said ashamedly, "Sure enough, I haven't practiced for many years, and my archery skills are very unfamiliar, and I can't even shoot a hare, so I have failed Your Majesty's expectations in vain." ”

As soon as I said this, the courtiers and guards below couldn't help but laugh secretly, and even worse, they directly mocked in front of me, "After all, Lord Shen Xiang is just a weak scholar, although this effort is powerful, but it lacks a little bit of a man's sassy and heroic spirit." ”

"What is Shen Xiang's problem, Qin Guo has always been holy to the fragrance of books, this knife, gun and stick, in case it hurts them."

"Yes, yes."

"I heard that Qi Guo is a good man......"

"Shhhh

The courtiers below talked more and more excessively, and the more they talked, the more presumptuous they became, and I raised my eyes to look at His Majesty Emperor Qi who was sitting down, but I only saw his calm and waveless eyes.

A faint tea mist swirled around his hand beside the cup, thin and pale.

"Lord Shen Xiang, where are your arrows?" Chen Kun came with me, he didn't go hunting, but he watched my every move closely.

As soon as I came out on horseback, as clean as if I had gone to drink a cup of tea, he noticed my strangeness.

I glanced at the horses being held by the soldiers, and a faint smile hung on my face, "It's all over." ”

Running out?

A quiver, thirty arrows, not one left?

Chen Kun couldn't believe my current understatement.

"Lord Shen Xiang's archery is not accurate, so naturally she has to use a few more, besides, with an identity like Lord Shen Xiang, do you want her to condescend and get off the horse to pick up arrows? General Chen, don't ask any more questions, let the adults go to the camp tent to tidy up, have a good meal, and replenish the physical strength lost in the morning. Chen Kun wanted to ask again, but an adult on the side came over and took him away half-persuaded and half-pulled.

With my eyes narrowing slightly, I confessed to Emperor Qi and entered the tent they had specially prepared for me.

After a quick shower, I changed into my original clothes, sat down behind the desk with my sleeves brushed, and chewed slowly for today's lunch.

The lunch was plentiful and I ate peacefully.

But outside the tent was not very peaceful, and the ministers were still talking about the matter of the future, and a soldier who was cleaning the hunting grounds rushed to the royal car with a pale face.

Without waiting for the guards to reprimand him, the soldier fell to his knees with a weak leg.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty......"

The soldier seemed to be anxious to say something, but the trembling of his whole body made it impossible for him to speak, so he could only pale his face and gesture desperately with his hand in the direction of the dense forest.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Qi sighed slightly, and waved his hand to let people take him down.

"Chen Kun, go take a look."

Chen Kun received the order, immediately jumped up on his horse, and galloped towards the dense forest in the distance. After only a few moments, he also came back with a very bad face.

"What's going on?" Emperor Qi asked him, and all the ministers were also looking at him. 123 Kanshu.com

Chen Kun glanced at Emperor Qi silently, leaned down and said, "In the forest in the northwest direction, there are dozens of corpses, and it seems that they have just died. ”

The woods of the Northwest?

Isn't that where Shen Xiang came out?

Don't......

The ministers were in an uproar, and the officials who had just spoken and mocked the most viciously shrank into the crowd with nervous expressions.

Emperor Qi saw all this in his eyes, but his tone did not change: "How did they die?" ”

Chen Kun recalled the scene he had just seen, only to feel that his heart was beating extremely fast, and his qi and blood were surging up rapidly.

"A feather arrow pierces the heart, killing with one blow."

There was no struggle, no heart-rending roars, everything looked like flowing water, as if it should be so, as it should be.

A large silence suddenly fell on the noisy hunting grounds, and the officials looked at each other with shock and fear in their eyes, but more often with suspicion.

"General Chen, in front of Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense." An official couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and stood up and accused Chen Kun: "Dozens of people were killed, but they were all hit with one blow, are you all fools when we are?" ”

"yes, that's not possible."

"It must be that the general is too nervous and misunderstood."

Many officials echoed it, as if Chen Kun was really overly nervous and misunderstood.

But only Chen Kun knew that what he saw was even more unbelievable than what he had just said.

"What are you all afraid of? Afraid of Shen Xiang's revenge? Chen Kun sneered at those hypocritical and timid officials, and his words were not polite at all, "If you don't believe it, just go and take a look for yourself, don't be scared of your legs and ask others to take you out." ”

"You!"

"Kun'er, how can you be presumptuous in front of the emperor?" Chen Xuan saw that his son's stubborn temper was coming up, and he didn't care if he would lose his manners, so he immediately came out and scolded Chen Kun.

Although Chen Kun disdains to be in the company of those people, in front of his father, he has no choice but to restrain himself a little and stop being aggressive.

"Your Majesty, these people suddenly appeared in the dense forest, and they died for no apparent reason, it should be thoroughly investigated." Chen Xu admonished Emperor Qi, "As for Shen Xiang's side, I'm afraid I still have to ask her to come forward and explain a thing or two." ”

Emperor Qi nodded, "What Aiqing said is very true, then it is up to Aiqing to invite Shen Xiang over, remember, when it is a tactful word, don't be too strong, Shen Xiang is my honored guest of Daqi." ”

Chen Xu responded with a "yes", turned around and glanced at Chen Kun as if admonishing, and then set off to go to Shen Qingzhi's camp.

"Shen Xiang, old man, can I disturb me?"

Although I didn't sound familiar with this voice, I could already guess who it was. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, I got up and walked to the tent door and welcomed him in myself.

"It was originally Lord Chen, the secretary of the ministry." I smiled and welcomed him to his seat, then reached out and poured him a cup of tea, "I don't know if Master Chen is here, do you have any advice?" ”

"How dare you, how dare you." Chen Xuan waved his hand again and again: "The old man is here to ask the adults for questions." ”

"Oh?" I looked at him with a puzzled face, "What question does Master Chen want to ask?" ”

Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment and took the tea I poured in his hand.

"When you were hunting, you went to the woods to the northwest?"

I smiled faintly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If you want to ask something, let's just say it."

Chen Xu glanced at me, but he was not polite, put down the teacup and said, "You killed those masked people in the dense forest?" ”

I nodded calmly.

Chen Xu's eyes sank instantly, but no matter how his face changed, he didn't dare to question me.

Even those people were the bravest soldiers of Great Qi.

"The safety of my lord is the most important thing for His Majesty, and next time, my lord must inform my Majesty."

I smiled at him, "Of course." ”

Chen Xuan didn't say anything else, got up and said goodbye to me.

I stood at the door of the tent and watched him leave, then returned to the tent and swept away the rest of the food on the table.

Wiped the corners of my mouth, I went out of the tent, and after a few glances in the direction of the hunting grounds, I handed a copy of my resignation to the guards guarding the door.

"Present it to His Majesty Emperor Qi on behalf of the prime minister."

After explaining this sentence, I went straight out of the hunting ground and returned to the inn with Bai Zhi, who had been waiting outside.

Emperor Qi didn't send anyone to keep me, and it wasn't until the next day when it was dawn that Chen Kun appeared outside the guest house.

"Your Majesty sent me to escort you away, and some ...... in return"

I laughed and interrupted him, "I'm leaving, so let's get acquainted and go out for a walk with me?" ”

Chen Kun glanced at me and nodded silently.

I walked out of the inn with him, and walked slowly on the street of Biancheng, during which I spent one or two dollars of silver to buy a fan pendant to hang on my fan, and bought a sword spike for Chen Kun.

It's not a valuable thing, but it's a heart.
