Chapter 153: Assassination
Prince Shen Xuan, who was already preparing to take another road, suddenly heard two loud 'Drive!' Immediately turned around to look, only caught the backs of Shi Qingqian and Shen Shu, and suddenly sneered on his face, and said in his heart Shen Shu This is a way to heaven, he doesn't go, and hell has no door.
Today's bureau is actually prepared for Shen Mi, but no matter which prince dies on the road to the west, Shen Xuan is happy. After all, one less person is one less obstacle to one's own way to the throne.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that Shen Xiaowang has gone 'over there'."
Fan Jinglong, the son of Lord Fan of the Ministry of Households, is fifteen this year, because Lord Fan has always attached himself to the queen, so he sent his son to the palace as the prince's companion. said that he was a companion, but Fan Jinglong's talent was not high, and it was thanks to the blessing of the prince that he was able to enter the Hanlin Academy to study with mediocre qualifications.
The prince looked down on him, and the queen didn't look at him very much, and the mother and son just used Fan Jinglong as a bargaining chip to contain Lord Fan.
Shen Xuan's popularity in the palace is very poor, and no one wants to be his companion, because every time Shen Xuan hunts in winter, he has to bring an extra team of attendants. The rules say that the two of them are together, except for Shen Xuan, no one has the courage and identity to break the rules.
So only Fan Jinglong was in a group with Shen Xuan. At this time, he also came over to talk to Shen Xuan.
"Prince Ben has seen it!" Shen Xuan glanced at him, didn't pay attention to him, and directly beckoned the team of guards to walk towards the mountain.
Leaving it in place, Fan Jinglong's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, but it disappeared very quickly. He kicked his legs and hurriedly rode after him.
Shen Xuan was beaming with pride in his heart, the annoying silence had passed, and Shen Shu had also passed, so he would let them bury themselves here today! On Huangquan Road, it's good to be a companion!
Let's talk about Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian's side.
After all, cabbage is a rare BMW, and it quickly caught up with Shen Shu.
When Shen Shu saw that Shi Qingqi was chasing after him, he was immediately a little restless, "Er! What are you doing here? β
"I don't worry about you......" Shi Qingqian was a little weak-hearted, she knew that she really couldn't help much, and she might even cause chaos, but as soon as she saw Shen Shu walking away, she subconsciously rode a horse and chased after her.
Shen Shu looked at the quiet path behind Shi Qingqian, it seemed that this road was only walked by the four of them.
The road they had come from was so narrow that the towering trees seemed to form a natural barrier, and the dead brown of the lifeless trunks had been removed from the glaring snow white. They chased after the horses, and had already walked for about a stick of incense, and when they came, the horses and the animals in the mountains and forests had not yet reacted, but they might not be so safe when they returned.
Thinking like this, Shen Shu didn't worry about letting Shi Qingqian go back alone. In case a brown bear keeps popping up there, Shi Qing can't resist it.
"Forget it, you go with me, and if there is any danger, turn the horse's head and go back." Shen Shu instructed, Shi Qingqian hurriedly nodded again and again, and then he continued to walk forward.
Afraid that Shi Qingqian would not be able to bear the rush, Shen Shu slowed down his speed a little more. The two of them walked in the silent woods, except for the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow, only the sound of small animals passing through the snow 'rustling' and 'creaking'.
After walking for almost a stick of incense, suddenly, the two of them heard two screams not far ahead, which were the voices of Shen Mo and the fifth princess!
Shen Shu didn't have time to say more, and as soon as the whip in his hand was whipped, the chestnut horse rushed out like lightning. Shi Qingqian also hurriedly chased after him.
Stepping over a thick tree that had fallen in the middle of the road, a flat clearing suddenly appeared in front of me. Shen Mo stopped the fifth princess behind him, and covered his right arm with one hand, where a feathered arrow was inserted, and the blood was already oozing out, staining the place where they were slumped red.
And one of them had fallen to the ground, and he also had a feathered arrow stuck in his neck.
The two of them arrived, and at the same time, four big men in black jumped down from the surrounding trees, each carrying a wooden bow and arrow, and holding a long knife in their hands.
When they were about to surround Shen Mo viciously, they suddenly noticed Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian who broke in, and immediately set up a battle.
It is estimated that the murderous aura on Shen Shu's body shocked them, and they completely forgot about the two people who were sitting paralyzed on the ground on the side, but hunched over and slowly surrounded Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian.
"Shen Shu ......"
"Don't be afraid." Shen Shu was not flustered at all. He drew the long sword on his back, like a leopard that sees its prey, and stared at the four people in front of him with dead eyes, "Son, go around and take them out." β
After that, Shen Shu didn't wait for Shi Qingqian's answer, the figure was so fast that he couldn't catch it, so he directly relayed the stirrup and flew out.
The four of them were well-trained, quickly changing their steps and forming a circle. However, Shen Shu's sword shadow was extremely fast, and as soon as he came out of his body, he went to the throat of one person, and when the others changed their steps, the person barely blocked the blow with the knife in his hand, and Shen Shu did not stop, quickly turned the blade of the sword, and the moment he landed, the sword pierced into the throat of another person.
When the sword was drawn, the tip was already stained red.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of the man's mouth, and his body was like a puppet that had lost control, and he fell to the snow-white ground.
Shi Qingqian was amazed in his heart, and he didn't feel scared at this time. Shen Shu is really a hero who came down from the battlefield, he didn't change his face in the face of four killers, and he took the life of one person in a very short time!
No longer worried about whether Shen Shu could parry the four of them, Shi Qingqian hurriedly dismounted, got into the bushes, and walked behind the fifth princess and Shen Mo.
"Five princesses! Four Highnesses! Taking advantage of the anxious fight on Shen Shu's side, Shi Qingqian secretly shouted, attracting the attention of the two.
"Shi, Miss Shi......" Shen Mo reacted first, and hurriedly pulled the fifth princess and slowly moved towards Shi Qingqian.
None of the three of them paid attention, and their small movements were fully observed by the black-clad masked man standing on the tree. His eyes...... Shine as deep as obsidian......
"Sister ......" finally walked into the bushes where Shi Qingqi was hiding, and the fifth princess was so frightened that she clenched Shi Qingqi's hand, "What's going on?" β
"I don't know." Shi Qingqian thought that he had no evidence, so he couldn't just say that it was everything arranged by Shen Xuan so easily, otherwise he would only bring death to himself.
She didn't care to appease the fifth princess, so she took out the handkerchief she used from her arms, wanting to bandage Shen Mo. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched Shen Mo's arm, he retracted as if he was electrocuted, "No, don't bother Miss Shi!" β
A dignified prince, who was so cowardly and incompetent by Shen Xuan's mother and son, Shi Qingqian really mourned for Shen Mo. couldn't help but refuse again, Shi Qingqian directly put his handkerchief on the silent arrow wound, and only pulled the arrow off after stopping the bleeding.
Shen Mo's face was distorted in pain, but he didn't dare to shout, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, but after a while, the smell of blood came from his mouth.
"You go back on a horse first, and remember to call someone over immediately!" Shi Qingqian glanced at Shen Shu worriedly, and seeing that he was already having some difficulty dealing with the three of them at the same time, he eagerly retreated from Shen Mo and the fifth princess.
I don't know how the people fighting over there noticed the movements of the three people, but they heard one of them shouting: "Those two little cubs have run away!" β
Immediately afterwards, Shi Qingqian couldn't see what was happening in front of him clearly, but there was a heart-rending voice from Shen Mo: "Sister Wan'erββ"
The long knife stabbed into Silence's chest, and when it came out, it had turned blood-red.
Shi Qingqian opened his eyes and saw that Shen Mo's arm around the fifth princess slipped down weakly, his eyes were still open, and then his head fell weakly to the side.
"Third brother!"
