When the heat is about to fade, it means that autumn is coming. Autumn harvest and winter storage, but the end of summer, since ancient times has been a good time for hunting, and this time is no exception.

The hunting grounds are in the plains formed by the alluvial rivers below the mountains, and it is now the harvest season, and the prey has escaped.

I didn't know how to ride a horse or read anything, so I sat in a small pavilion in the middle and watched the scenery. There are a lot of children of the nobles of Wang and Sun, they are heroic, and they all look like they are the pillars of the country, I didn't expect me to see Zhao Yi here again, but it's a pity that Zhao Fei didn't come.

The green hills in the distance are set against the background of landscape painting, and the theme of galloping horses and people on their horses is radiant. Although I don't know how to ride and shoot, at least I can understand it, and there is a faint voice in the distance, it is Jiang Yao who has always had the upper hand.

He is a young emperor, so naturally he is not easy to be compared with princes of the same age in various things, and others dare not compare, but it is one thing whether others deliberately release water, and it is another thing whether Jiang Yao has the strength to overwhelm the crowd, after all, it is not someone else's rumor to pacify the nineteen western states back then.

Jiang Yao is a person who is not inferior to Yu Jing in all aspects, the same outstanding, the same outstanding demeanor, he must be an irreplaceable existence in the hearts of people who love him, just looking at him feels that everything in the world is shining brightly.

If Jiang Yao's canonized queen is the person he loves, it must also be a rare good story in the world, the emperor and queen are loving, jointly creating the prosperity and strength of the country, seeking thousands of generations of blessings for future generations, and can work with him, and can also spend the moon with him.

The noon sun was a little too hot, I sat still, and there was a layer of fine sweat on my body, and I drank a pot of tea next to me, but it still did not quench my thirst and fever.

I really don't know how the people on horseback managed to hold on.

The prey picked up by the attendants is carefully classified, and which one belongs to is clearly marked. I saw that the group of people had gone a little far, and I couldn't find a point in my eyes to admire, so I pulled Changyun to see those prey.

This was originally a private hunting ground for the royal family, and naturally there were a lot of prey for hunting, if it was really a natural plain like Saibei, I am afraid that they have not found a single prey yet, let alone have so many harvests in such a short period of time.

The arrows of the arrows were fiercely pierced into the flesh of the prey, and the flesh that turned out was still bleeding out, and most of the prey was not dead, lying on the table as a victory, twitching weakly.

I don't think there's anything wrong with doing this, but I can't bear to look at the scene in front of me, and then I can't help but laugh at myself - what's so unbearable? Life is originally lived by devouring other lives, and it is just an ordinary truth in the world.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yao and the others had to go to the side close to the hills, the surrounding heights were undulating, and the field of vision that could be seen in front of them was no more than 100 meters, which was said to be the territory of captive deer.

Although there is no sense of participation, it is still good to see the scenery, I looked around, although this is only a transition zone from the plains to the mountains, but it is a very hidden place, and I may be able to see what kind of scenery I can see if I climb over a low hill, which is quite amazing.

The area that is easy to hide, naturally also to prevent someone from plotting against evil, I have more than twice as many guards around me than in the morning, all the people around me can see, and only a piece of the sky that can be seen when I look up is quiet.

Changyun saw that I was a little bored, and said: "The first emperor has also been assassinated by traitors here before, but fortunately, there is no danger, and it is always good to have an extra layer of protection." ”

The truth is theirs, what can I say, I am surrounded by groups here, it is better to go back to the palace freely, at least there will not be so many eyes staring at me every day.

Zhao Yi When they came back, I was bored playing with the tassels on my clothes, they were foreign ministers, of course there was a certain distance from me, but it was not very far after all, and I faintly heard their speeches.

It seems to say that Jiang Yao rode too fast, they didn't keep up, and several people worked together to hunt the deer, and they couldn't find anyone, so they simply came back first.

As he spoke, Zhao Yi glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at me for a moment, I shifted my attention slightly, and he withdrew his gaze.

I've heard that people always have this illusion, either because someone is calling your name or because someone is looking at you.

I always underestimated Zhao Yi before, when I saw him like a fish in water among the crowd, and he coped with it easily, I knew that he was not at all as prodigal as he seemed on the outside, although many things were taken care of by Zhao Fei, but the blood of family affection is melted into the bones, and it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Yi will not think about making contributions to Zhao Fei.

When there was chaos on the other side of the hill, I saw it, and in the distance I saw the yellow sand filling the place, and the chaos covered the chaos inside.

"There are assassins, escorts!" The voice of the chief guard pierced the relaxed atmosphere around him, and the tense atmosphere spread in an instant.

At the sound of the order, I was surrounded by the guards, but the young people who were resting for a while were all tense, eager to immediately rush to the front line with their swords and wipe out all the young people who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhao Yi and the others stood up, not daring to act rashly, and they were worried about the situation on Jiang Yao's side, and they only hated that they didn't spread a pair of wings so that they could rush over in time to support.

"Whoosh-"

A cold arrow came out of nowhere, and it landed in front of me, my heart trembled violently, and my brain turned blank with a "buzz".

The aftermath of that arrow still trembled in my head, and the half-cut body of the arrow shouted at the power of this man.

I took two steps back, surrounded by guards who were even more nervous than I was, and they didn't even know where the arrow was coming from, and they didn't know if the next arrow would hit them.

Even though the guards were risking their lives to protect me, I felt isolated at the center of the protection, defenseless to attack and defenseless to defend against.

If that arrow had gone half a foot further, it would have pierced through my body as effortlessly as it had passed through a piece of paper.

Jiang Yao was not there, and the people around him didn't dare to make any assertions to direct the guards to do anything, and the people on the other side didn't stop attacking, they didn't rush at others, every arrow was aimed at me, and every power wanted to take away my life with one blow.

Someone in front of me had already been hit, and with a cry of pain he fell to the ground, his trembling hands clutched the arrows in his body and struggled weakly, he didn't actually need to die, but I didn't have the courage to run out from behind others and face all this alone, my legs were shaking now, and I couldn't imagine what would happen to me if the person who was hit by the arrow.

Seeing that the frequency of arrows is getting higher and higher, the chaos on the other side of the mountain is gradually spreading to my side.

One by one, the people around me fell, and the arrows came out of no idea which direction, one moment in front, the other in the back, I was the target in this open field of vision, and there was no barrier in front of me to protect me.

Only Changyun protected me with his body and held my hand so that I should not be afraid.

Even if there is no one around me, Changyun will become my last barrier.

I don't know what the archer is thinking, a little bit with the fear of the unknown to consume my heart, the next arrow, will the person who fall, will it be me?

I held my head in my hands and curled myself up as much as I could, I didn't have the courage to face these dangers head-on, nor did I have the ability to protect myself.

Those arrows knocked down the people in front of me one by one, and gradually, I began to be exposed to what I could be attacked, the late summer wind was not cool at all, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on my body, if I could, I didn't mind the pain that came head-on, what I was afraid of was the unknown, and suddenly it came when I was not prepared, and I felt that I might not be able to bear it.

The chief of the guard rushed to Jiang Yao's side with his men and horses, there are not many people on our side, and there are still a lot of princes and nobles who need to be protected, so there is no time to allocate some more people to fill me.

My mind was racing in the middle of this, but it was useless, and I couldn't think of any safe and reliable way to get myself out of trouble.

Eyes unconsciously swept over the crowd, their expressions at the moment were the most real, some were tense, some were indignant, some were calm, and some were panicked, although not a single arrow was aimed at them yet.

I don't think that these assassins who suddenly appeared were really just assassins, they must have a close connection with someone here, otherwise who could know Jiang Yao's itinerary and actions so clearly, and set up an ambush here in advance.

The present situation is very unfavorable for the enemy, and we will definitely suffer if we continue to consume it for so long, but the hilly areas are not as free to move as the plains, and it is inevitable that there will be no chaos under the cramping of the plains again and again.

As long as there is a moment of loss, as long as there is a momentary opportunity, these people will seize it fiercely, assassinating the emperor is a capital crime, risking the determination to die, of course, it is better to break the jade than to complete it.

My ability to observe words and emotions has never been in place, just from their performance, I can't see a reason at all, at least no one shows pride, even if I am very happy, I have to do a little to cover up, where can I be so casual to see.

My eyes and Zhao Yi met for a moment, his eyes were different from others, I was not innocent about why Zhao Yi was so anxious, and even looked at me a little worried.

I know that Zhao Yi is worried about me, after all, among all the people here, only Zhao Yi has ever crossed paths with me, no matter what it is, at least I still have a friendship with him that I grew up with.

Although these situations can't get around a jade after all.

Zhao Yi rushed over suddenly, regardless of his identity and the constant arrows, and came to my side under the gaze of the people around him.

"Instead of waiting for death here, it's better to try to hide, although there is nothing to hide around, but it's better than waiting for death here." Zhao Yi looked at me and said earnestly.

"Zhao Yi, what are you doing!" The people on the side were obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's overstepping behavior, and in their opinion, I was the safe place to be protected in the crowd.

Zhao Yi ignored everyone's dissatisfaction and doubts, and stretched out his hand to me, his eyes kept looking around, as if looking for an opportunity to break through.

But there was still a hint of gambling in his expression, and he held a hole card in his heart that I didn't know, and I expected that the other party's people would not attack him easily - after all, these dangers have never reached anyone outside the royal family, perhaps out of position, maybe out of scruples.

Zhao Yi will be so firm in believing that I will reach out and accept his help, probably based on our familiarity with each other. I also trust this familiarity 100 percent.

Even if Changyun is by my side, even if there are so many people in front of me who are willing to be born and die for me, the sense of security is not given by others, but the stability of my heart.

Zhao Yi was holding me in one hand and a sword in the other, he didn't know where the assassin was, and he didn't know which direction an arrow would come unsuspecting again.

The person on the other side didn't know exactly where they were, or even how many people there were, and the few pieces of information they had brought were potentially unknown dangers. Zhao Yi was not completely sure, at least from his not so firm gaze, I saw a little tangled and wavering.

Perhaps before he rushed over, he had also experienced a long period of mental entanglement, and Zhao Yi's words and deeds had to take into account many things, including his family background. Zhao Yi is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, on the contrary, he has shown an unsatisfactory side on many occasions, and he is not conspicuous at all among many outstanding children of the family.

Probably this is what Zhao Fei hopes Zhao Yi to do, the golden mean of not fighting, not grabbing, not outstanding, and not falling behind, not wanting to be rich and noble all his life, and being a very good minister, but only wishing for a life of peace and joy and carefree.

Zhao Yi's move, no matter what the result is, he jumped out of his previous image and successfully saved me, which is indispensable to be recognized by everyone, if I am injured or encounter an accident, people with bad intentions will also grasp this point and put Zhao into a place of injustice.

In any case, I am very grateful that he was able to put aside these layers of worries and just save me according to his own wishes.

Without the protection of everyone in front, the assassins were even more unscrupulous, but fortunately, Zhao Yi's reaction was fast enough, and the arrow landed on my side, and the sound alone made people shudder.

When the arrow came at us head-on, I really heard the sound of the arrow piercing the air, Zhao Yi's movements were extremely fast, the light on the blade flashed, and the arrow body was hit by the sword, and it was able to dodge.

Zhao Yi's hands were trembling, and the power of this arrow was not easy to do at all.

The second arrow came like a shadow, not giving us a chance to breathe at all, even if Zhao Yi was able to take the first one, but he definitely didn't have the ability to react and follow the second one.

But the second arrow did not touch me, but was interrupted by another chasing arrow, and the arrow was steady and accurate, and in front of my eyes, it was like a divine weapon from heaven, saving me from danger.

What a sharp archery! Even though my life was hanging by a thread, I couldn't help but sigh. I glanced at Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi also looked at me, there was undisguised panic and shock in his eyes, he had something to say to me, almost to his mouth, and swallowed it again. I don't know what the reason for Zhao Yi's series of changes is, and then there is a strange feeling climbing in my heart, messy, and extremely uneasy.

Zhao Yi has an element of blockage, but obviously he made the right bet.

At that time, I only thought that the purpose of the assassins was obviously not a cowardly and incompetent queen like me, but Jiang Yao, I was in the middle of the crowd, it was easy for the assassins to mistake me for Jiang Yao, when they found out that they had found the wrong person, they naturally did not want to waste time and energy on me, after all, the sudden panic could only last for a short time, and they had to complete their purpose when Jiang Yao's side was not fully prepared.

Zhao Yi had other thoughts in his heart, if he didn't tell me, I naturally had no way of knowing.

Zhao Yi instructed the people around him to prepare the carriage and take me to a place where I could take shelter for the time being.

I got into the carriage with the support of the attendants, but Zhao Yi did not leave immediately, but suddenly shouted: "The queen mother ......"

I looked at him gloomily, and he smiled again, with a slight hesitation in his eyes: "It's nothing, pay attention to safety." ”

I nodded, and then glanced in the direction of the hill, there were no cold arrows around, and there was no movement, I don't think they had the guts to kill an emperor, even if there was anything wrong with killing me as an empress, so why would they stop? There was even someone who stopped the cold arrow that could kill me and saved me.

In order to prevent chasing soldiers, Zhao Yi asked people to prepare two carriages, one with me and the other with Changyun.

Even if someone really wants to make a move on me, Zhao Yi arranged it like this, and at least half of the risk was shared.

The carriage was speeding down the road, and I couldn't shake it in it, holding on to the railing with both hands to keep myself from falling. When the carriage came to a sudden stop, I fell unsteadily on the carriage, but fortunately there was a curtain in the way, and no one saw me so embarrassed.

I waited for the carriage to stop, straightened up and straightened my shirt, and then lifted the crooked hairpin on my head so that I didn't look so out of shape.

I don't know what's going on outside, but judging by the fact that no one around me reacted violently, it shouldn't be a big deal.

I heard someone say "the queen mother is in the carriage behind", the curtain in front of me was lifted, and the hand that came in was white and beautiful, and there was a shallow scar from the back of the hand down, I knew that it was Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao didn't show his face, and the hand only lifted the curtain and retreated.

"You're doing a great job, Zhao Yi." Jiang Yao's voice was still as calm and self-contained as ever, making it impossible to hear what kind of thoughts he was hiding inside.

"Yes." Zhao Yi replied cleanly, without prevarication and praise, at this moment he is outstanding, standing in the position that everyone desires.

Jiang Yao has never been a person who will retreat because of fear, on the contrary, the more he uses such violent means to force him to submit, the more he will face these dangers without fear.

Jiang Yao can appear here now, presumably not injured, otherwise this mess will definitely not end easily.

But I didn't see Jiang Yao with my own eyes, I just thought that he appeared, he was safe, I didn't care about him at all, if I could have taken the initiative at that time, even if I just lifted the curtain from the carriage and looked out, I would definitely not be so at ease and enjoy his protection.
