Chapter 20: The Shadow of the Cold Moon

I don't know when the mustache was crooked, maybe when he fell down the hill, or maybe when he was racing against the grizzly bear...... was actually seen by Yuan Xi!

Zhao Jiu put the mustache back in a weak heart, and began to secretly worry about whether Yuan Xi would think that she had any bad intentions and needed to put a mustache to cover it up? No wonder Yuan Xi's tone of voice with her today has changed, he must have misunderstood.

Zhao Jiu felt that he needed to find an opportunity to explain to Yuan Xi.

Li Jingxi's horse was left to Zhao Jiu, who rested briefly for a while before turning over the horse, patting the horse's neck and saying, "Brother, it's time to go back." ”

The horse neighed in high spirits and set off with Zhao Jiu hoofed his hooves. However, this horse has the ability to carry Li Jingxi into the river, and he didn't get rid of the brown bear when he walked around the valley, so he had the ability to bring Zhao Jiu back to his original place.

Zhao Jiu looked at the brown bear lying on the ground with three arrows stuck in his back, and covered his forehead speechlessly: "Brother, don't you know how to go back?" ”

The horse said happily, "I know, aren't we going back?" ”

"You're turning back on the! You're turning back! Look at that brown bear! ”

The horse continued to say happily, "Ah, brown bear, what's the matter? ”

Zhao Jiu was angry and helpless, how could she meet such a stupid horse, if only Ferrari Lamborghini and Land Rover were here.

Suddenly, the horse said angrily, "Zhao Jiu, you liar! ”

Zhao Jiu's face was inexplicable: "Hey, I didn't say you were stupid, but you talked about me first?" What did I lie to you? Cheating money or sex? ”

The horse snorted, "You said it was a brown bear, but it was a black bear!" ”

Black bear?!

Zhao Jiu went to look at the brown bear, only to see that its body had begun to turn black, but the three arrows on its back told her that this was the brown bear that was shot by Yuan Xi just now.

Wrong......

Her golden needle......

Could it be that not only did she shoot this brown bear with a golden needle, but there was still poison on this golden needle?!

Zhao Jiu thought back to the fact that the brown bear could attack Yuan Xi more fiercely after being hit by two arrows, but Yuan Xi's third arrow still hit the brown bear in the back, but the brown bear fell to the ground and died at once. It can only show that the brown bear was not killed by Yuan Xi's arrow, but was poisoned because he was hit by her golden needle.

Damn, it's amazing, this dark ring ......

Zhao Jiu couldn't help but touch the things on her wrist, secretly sighed and thanked Hong Qian for giving her such a good self-defense baby.

But now is not the time for her to be happy that the baby is amazing, but to think about how to get back to camp.

Zhao Jiu looked around for a while, then determined a direction and drove his horse forward. This is a valley area, and the camp is in the mountains, so she just needs to follow the terrain and go up.

And as she expected, she drove her horse to a junction quickly, and there was only a row of horseshoe prints at that intersection, which was Yuan Xi and them. Zhao Jiu happily followed the horseshoe prints and continued walking, estimating that he would soon be able to return to the camp.

Probably because Princess Jingxi had been found, the news spread back to the camp early in the morning, and the guards who were sent out to find it also evacuated, and the silence of the night returned to the forest.

The mountain was brighter than the valley, and Zhao Jiu could see the situation ten meters away, but the horseshoe prints were quickly broken, and she could only rely on the stars in the sky to make out the direction. But even so, she walked around the great forest and did not find the way she came.

Zhao Jiu felt that there was no way to go on like this, she saw a high cliff, so she planned to go up to it to see if she could find the direction of the camp. But when he encountered a fresh meadow on the way, Li Jingxi's horse refused to go.

Zhao Jiu had no choice but to get off the horse and walk up, and instructed the greedy stupid horse: "Brother, you just eat here slowly, eat well, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come down." ”

The horse chewed happily: "No problem. ”

Zhao Jiu glanced at it, and knew that Yuan Xi would leave her a smarter horse.

The wind on the cliff was much stronger, whistling and blowing, and Zhao Jiu couldn't help but shiver when he came up, not because he felt how cold it was, but more likely because this place was too high, and people couldn't help but shiver.

But standing on a high vantage point, he could see the mountains at a glance, and Shojiu soon spotted the light of the fire in the distance, which was where the camp was. She confirmed the direction, and was about to go down the mountain to find Li Jingxi's horse with joy, when a strange rustling sound suddenly sounded in her ears, and she suddenly looked at the dark place, only to see a cold light flash, several cold lights flashed, shaking her eyes painfully.

Men in Black......

A dozen men in black!!

No wonder she couldn't help but tremble from the moment she came up, not because of the cold and high, but because of so many ambushes, her body already felt it!

Zhao Jiu felt that he was simply unlucky today, either by mistake into the bear's den or by mistake into the ambush circle of the man in black.

"What's that...... Brothers, I really didn't mean to see you, you just treat me as invisible, transparent, and non-existent, okay......"

Zhao Jiu retreated while discussing awkwardly, but where was that group of black-clothed people so easy to discuss, and they came to chase Zhao Jiu with a knife first.

Zhao Jiu took out the horse whistle to summon Li Jingxi's horse while running, and saw that he was about to be caught up by the man in black, but fortunately Li Jingxi's horse rushed over in time, and Zhao Jiu dodged a blow from the man in black, skillfully turned on the horse's back and continued to escape. Several arrows came from behind, and Zhao Jiu successfully dodged them, and when she was in the Cloud Shadow Palace, she practiced the ability to listen to the sound of arrows and dodge arrows in the game of archery with Li Yun on horseback, and she used it at this moment.

However, since it was an ambush circle that had been prepared for a long time, a rope suddenly rose horizontally in the middle of the road, and Zhao Jiu saw it from a distance, and shouted with his horse: "Jump, brother!" ”

Helplessly, the horse reacted slowly, and in the middle of the ambush of the people, a man and a horse tripped over the rope, Zhao Jiu flew out at once, and his body rolled for two weeks and hit the stones on the side of the road, and his bones were almost broken.

The three or two men in black who were chasing arrived, and they seemed to see that Zhao Jiu was powerless, and slowly approached with a knife, Zhao Jiu struggled to support himself, and he didn't have time to turn the dark ring on his wrist, and the murderous face and big knife of the man in black were already in front of him.

"Ahh

The screams continued continuously, Zhao Jiu stared in a daze, watching several black-clothed people fall straight down like dead trees, revealing a pale cold moon behind him, and between the moon bends, a person riding on a black horse, with a handsome face, cold eyes, and the silver sword in his hand dripping with scarlet blood, which made people tremble with fear even more than when she stood on the high cliff.

Lee Yoon.

The picture in the dream flashed in front of him, almost coinciding with this moment, the shock was only in his heart for a moment, and the strange "rustle" sound sounded in his ears again, Zhao Jiu was so anxious that he shouted: "Be careful!" ”

In an instant, two black shadows drew an arc in the air and fell into the cliff, and before Zhao Jiu could see the way Li Yun made a move, he fell back on the horse, and when he drove the horse past her, he carried her on the horse's back and rushed down the mountain with her.

Riding a horse in such a posture hanging on the back of a horse is not too exciting, Zhao Jiu closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to hold on, and the sound of arrows kept flashing in her ears, she knew that it was those people in black who were going to kill them by throwing arrows, but she was no longer as scared as Fang Cai, because she also knew that Li Yun was there, as long as Li Yun was willing to save her, then she would be able to live.

*

The royal camp, because Li Jingxi was recovered, all returned to their original order.

Guo Qi drove his horse back, but he didn't see Zhao Jiu. He hurried to King Ning's tent and met the guard Ziyu who was about to go out.

"Ziyu, have you seen Zhao Jiu?"

"No," Ziyu said hurriedly, "where have you been?" His Royal Highness has a secret order, hurry up and follow me. ”

Guo Qi was slightly stunned, and drove his horse with him without saying a word.

Most of the guards left, and the guards at the back of the camp to watch over the prisoners naturally relaxed. A dark shadow quietly fell, knocking out the two guards who were guarding it, and when they reached Yu Fang, who was bound hand and foot, he used a dagger to pick his rope.

Yu Fang hugged his body in fear and glared at the visitor: "You, who are you?" ”

The black-clothed man who infiltrated said: "Don't be afraid, I'm a friend of Zhao Jiu, and I'm here to rescue you." ”

It sounded like a woman's voice, Yu Fang looked at those beautiful eyes, and it didn't seem like he was lying to him, so he nodded hurriedly, planning to run away with the woman.

"Who?"

As soon as the woman opened the curtain and went out, she was spotted by the guards who were patrolling by, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she jumped and disappeared into the darkness. A group of guards chased after her, and Yu Fang, who was left behind, didn't know what to do for a while.

Will he run away or not?

Suddenly, Yu Fang found the small bottle that had fallen on the ground, which looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. He picked up the bottle and put it in his sleeve and returned to where he was being held.

It's better not to escape, and I don't know where to flee. Moreover, the bottle of medicine he took to give Ferrari was originally just ecstasy soup, and drinking it would only make Ferrari sleep for a few days and nights, and would not poison it. When King Ning came back, he explained it well, and maybe King Ning could let him go. But if he escapes, it will be a fear of crime and absconding, and it will not be clear when the time comes.

The more Yu Fang thought about it, the more reasonable it became, picking up the broken rope on the ground and tying himself up again.

The woman in black was on the way to avoid the pursuit of the guards, when she was suddenly pulled into a dark tent by a person, she instinctively wanted to struggle, but after seeing the man's face, she slowly lowered her raised hand.

Outside the guards gathered in front of the tent, looking for her whereabouts.

"What about people? You go over there, you come with me. ”

"My lord, don't you search this tent?"

"This ......"

The man hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward, when a guard suddenly fell from the tree and drew his sword to block the front: "Bold, dare to trespass on the tent of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, but an assassin has infiltrated the camp, and we are searching, but I don't know that Your Highness is resting in the tent, and I have offended Your Highness, so I will leave after this."
