Chapter 44: An Assassination
Spring is getting late, and at noon, the sun is shining and the trees are getting greener.
The dense forest is deep, and there are occasional merchants passing by on the official road, Zhao Ping and his party are all following on a light horse, and when pedestrians on the road see it, they only think that it is the eldest lady of a large family who travels.
No wonder everyone thinks so, it's really Ning Yu's carriage that is too eye-catching, but people can't notice the still gorgeous prince's car.
As the carriage drove away, the purple veil fluttered in the wind, leaving a fragrant breeze, and the golden bells rang in bursts, crisp and pleasant as the sounds of heaven.
In the sunlight, the pearlescent jade color shimmered, and soon drove out of the sight of the shipper.
Eye pain.
The merchant closed his eyes and opened them again.
"He's so rich!" The merchant was speechless and took the water bowl handed over by the servant.
The rest of the people looked at the place where the carriage disappeared and nodded thoughtfully, yes, yes, it's really rich.
"Alas~" The merchant poured two mouthfuls of water, wiped his mouth, and spoke again with a disapproving face: "These rich people, it's just different, this one who is out of the house, and still sits in such a swaggering carriage, isn't this clearly telling the bandits and thieves 'I have money, come and rob me'?" ”
The rest of the people continued to nod their heads thoughtfully, yes, yes, it makes sense, this family is really stupid.
Someone spoke: "Maybe people think of it, but they are not afraid, look at those guards, they don't look like bullying masters." ”
"People have misses, horses have stumbled, in case they encounter some powerful bandits." Merchant Road.
The rest of the man nodded again, yes, yes.
After sighing and sighing, the group drove forward again.
……
……
Zhao Ping raised his head and covered his eyebrow bone, squinted at the sun, looked back at the rushing car, and raised his hand, "Rest in place for a while, eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and set off in half an hour!" ”
"Yes, General." The soldiers laughed and jumped off their horses, relieving their muscles, having galloped all morning on their horses.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to come down for ventilation? The general said that he would have to walk for an afternoon to reach the post station in the evening. A soldier asked by the window of Ning Ze's car.
Ning Ze lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”
Ning Yu's car was not far from Ning Ze's car, and he could hear the sound over there, and Phantom handed over a piece of pastry, and asked Ning Yu with a smile: "Does Wang Ji want to go down to ventilate too?" ”
"Good ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yu took the pastry's hand, the smile on his face was slightly reduced, and his eyebrows twisted slightly.
Someone is approaching.
The slightest sound would never have been made by the escort soldiers, they were above board, and they didn't need to be so careful.
"Wang Ji?" Phantom color is a little unclear.
"Shh
She raised her hand to signal a few people in the car to be quiet, leaned her head out of the car wall, and looked for Zhao Ping's figure while listening to the argument.
Zhao Ping was riding on the inky black horse, talking to the soldiers under the horse, with a casual smile on his face, holding a dark longbow in his left hand, flipping his wrist with a longbow at will, as if playing, and his right hand was intentionally or unintentionally touching the quiver behind him.
From this angle, Ning Yu could only see Zhao Ping's handsome face with a smile, and did not notice his tense body and outstretched hands.
"Zhao ......"
Ning Yu only had time to utter a syllable, and Zhao Ping had already found five arrows, and in an instant, the arrows were already on the string.
Zhao Ping's long legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse roared, ran forward, Zhao Ping shot the arrow sideways, five arrows in succession, without the slightest pause, after a few "poof" sounds, there were several heavy objects falling to the ground, and the lurking figure fell from the tree, or poured out of the grass, smashed to the ground, and raised a burst of dust.
At the same time as Zhao Ping sent out the arrows, there were already two arrows coming from Ning Yu's right front, heading straight for Ning Yu's front door.
"......" Ning Yu looked confused.
Kill her?
Shouldn't it have been the assassination of the beautiful brother? After all, he's the crown prince, isn't he? She is a little Wang Ji, or hot, what did she do to assassinate her?
Thinking like this, Ning Yu reacted quickly after years of practicing martial arts.
She spun around the wheel, and the gold-encrusted knife slipped out of her sleeve, slashed through the sheath, blocked the flying arrow, missed the arrow, hit the bejeweled wall, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"......."
I didn't think this carriage would have such an effect.
Ning Yu was simply dumbfounded.
At this time, the soldiers seemed to react, and they all took up their weapons and surrounded the prince's chariot, shouting that there was an assassin escort!
Ning Yu: "......" these fools!
The target of the assassination was her, hey!
Is Wang Ji so worthless? Don't even give a few people to her! She doesn't need it much, but it's one thing whether she needs it or not, and it's another thing whether you can share it or not.
Ning Yu's toothache.
It seems that only the father, queen mother, and brother regard her as a treasure, and others ...... Even this group of soldiers doesn't take her seriously. Hmph, I'm not afraid that she will turn around and sue.
Ning Yu grabbed the knife, lifted her skirt and jumped out of the carriage.
Luyun Xiaosi Phantom shouted: "Wang Ji (Sister Yu) is dangerous, come up quickly!" ”
"It's not dangerous." Ning Yu said and walked straight in the direction where the arrow came from.
Xiao San didn't speak, grabbed the sword and jumped down, following behind Ning Yu, Lu Yun and the others saw this, no matter how scared they were, they had to follow.
The master and son all went down, and the slave had no reason to be in the car.
Ning Yu took the sword handed over by Xiao San, pushed aside the weeds, and saw a killer in ordinary clothes who was no different from a passerby lying on the ground, still holding a bow and arrows in his hand, and a shears came out of his vest.
When the chest is an arrow, do not give the killer the slightest chance to live.
Ning Yu hugged his arms, leaned over slightly, raised his feet and straightened the killer over, with a plain face, his eyes were round, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Ning Yu pursed her lips and turned to look for another.
Several people are seeing dead people for the first time in the real sense, and they are all scared, Luyun Xiaosan is okay, except that his face is paler, he doesn't react much, and the Phantom Colors Xiaosi reacts a little more.
"Ahhh Phantom screams.
"Sister...... Sister Jade ...... I'm scared! Xiao Si cried.
"If you're afraid, go back." Xiao San looked at Phantom Xiao Si and said a word, turned around and followed Ning Yu forward.
The movement here attracted the attention of the soldiers surrounding the prince, and the soldiers reacted that An and Wang Ji also followed.
"Wang Ji, it's dangerous there, come back quickly!" There were soldiers shouting.
Ning Ze also heard the sound and hurriedly leaned on the window to look out.
"Jiaojiao!" Ning Ze saw Ning Yu running around, and he was in a hurry, "Come back, Jiaojiao, it's dangerous!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to get out of the carriage when he was stopped by the guards.
Ning Ze couldn't, so he hurriedly shouted: "Go and pull her back!" ”
"Yes!" The two soldiers hurriedly ran towards Ning Yu.
At this time, Ning Yu had already found the location of another killer, who was also dressed like an ordinary passerby, looked like a passerby, and his eyes were round, which was also unbelievable.
It is also an arrow in the chest.
It's worthy of a beast, in such a short period of time, five arrows in a row can still hit the red heart, and these killers don't even have the slightest room to block.
Competent!
Convinced!
Ning Yu squatted down, looked at the corpse and sighed wistfully, obviously Daddy said that she was also a martial arts wizard, how could she be as weak as a scum compared to the surname Zhao.
What's going on? Is she too weak?
No, no, how can she be weak??
Yes, it's Daddy who can't do it, delaying her, a martial arts prodigy.
