On this day, the empress and her ministers came to the suburbs in a mighty way, and General Chen sent people to clean up this place early in the morning, and the hunting grounds in the suburbs were already heavily guarded. The county lord rode behind the empress, just as he had done many years ago, with a sharp sword, a torch-like gaze, and an extraordinary bearing.

The empress led everyone to the royal tent that had been set up in advance, and the empress turned over and dismounted, and everyone behind her also dismounted and got out of the car. The empress walked to the front of the tent, holding an arrow in her hand, and said, "This is the arrow used by the emperor to kill the barbarians, it is extremely sharp, and if anyone wins the first place in the autumn hunt today, I will reward him with this arrow in my hand." ”

When everyone saw the arrow in the empress's hand, their eyes lit up and their eyes sparkled, and they shouted in unison, "Long live Her Majesty, long live, long live." ”

The county lord frowned slightly, secretly suspicious in his heart, "The Empress Aunt's reward this year is extraordinarily valuable than in previous years, and it seems that she has other purposes besides observing the movements of the ministers of the court. This suspicion made the county lord really uneasy.

At this time, Hu Qi, who was beside him, saw the county lord's thoughtful appearance, and deliberately poked the county lord with his arm, which was intended to make the county lord lose his posture in front of everyone. The county lord glanced at Hu Qi, which means that the county lord is not distracted, you give the county lord an point. Hu Qi got a warning and immediately kept a slight distance from the county lord, she didn't want to upset the county lord.

At this time, the empress saw that everyone's interest was particularly high, and she couldn't help but smile, "I announce that the autumn hunt has officially begun. ”

As a result, the generals and children of the family who participated in the autumn hunt went to select weapons and horses, and began to march towards the large forest ahead.

The county lord had already seen Li Ruofei among the people participating in the autumn hunt, and at this moment, Li Ruofei was riding a white horse and holding a halberd towards the big forest. So, she walked to Her Majesty the Empress, "Aunt Empress, Xuan'er also went, make do with the excitement." ”

The empress glanced at the county lord, and saw that the county lord looked like a gentleman, and she sighed slightly in her heart, "Go ahead, pay attention to safety." ”

The county lord deliberately took a short sword and rode a long-haired brown horse slowly into the forest.

On the way, the county lord did not kill the small prey, but dismounted and fought with the large prey, and then deliberately defeated and fled.

As she was about to reach the depths of the forest, she suddenly felt a trace of breath fluctuating behind her, so she deliberately slowed down her horse and watched with her sword.

When he reached the foot of a large tree, the county lord noticed that the breath was getting closer and closer. So, she deliberately walked towards the tree with her sword and circled the tree, but found nothing. At that moment, a sharp blade struck directly above the county lord, reaching the top of the county lord's head. At the critical moment, the county lord immediately took the sword in his hand and placed it on his head to block it, and for a moment, he only heard the friction sound of the weapon.

The county lord smiled evilly, "I've followed the county lord all the way, and I finally gave it up." ”

The man in black saw that the assassination was not successful, so he stepped forward to fight with the county lord, "Don't talk nonsense, take your life", after speaking, he took the sword and went straight to the county lord's throat.

Seeing the man in black approaching step by step, the county lord said angrily: "Then don't blame this county lord for being unkind." Then, the county lord shouted to the surroundings, "Don't hide, come out."

At this time, dozens of black-clothed people came out from the side, all with sharp blades in their hands, and came straight to the county lord. In the blink of an eye, the county lord was already surrounded by dozens of black-clothed people.

The county lord stood in the middle and sneered, "It seems that your master has put a lot of effort into taking the life of the county lord, but it's a pity, it's a pity, you all have to be buried here in vain today." ”

Dozens of black-clothed people approached the county lord with sharp blades in their hands, and attacked at the same time, and the county lord secretly said, "You little minions, you are really impatient, just you, you are not the opponent of this county lord." The county lord picked up the short sword in his hand and shook it hard, hitting the heart of the man in black, and the man in black immediately fell.

Seeing this, the other men in black were even more cautious, and they launched attacks on the county lord one after another. The county lord drew the saber at his waist, turned around, and most of the dozens of black-clothed people had fallen to the ground. Then, the county lord stabbed at the remaining men in black. When the black-clothed men saw the county lord coming, they struggled to meet it, and the county lord made two moves, sealing his throat with a sword, and the remaining black-clothed people also fell one after another.

The county lord looked at the sword in her hand, it was not bloodstained, it was extremely bright, and she was satisfied to insert the sword back into the scabbard at her waist.

Since she was assassinated by Li Ruofei in her previous life, she knows that her martial arts are not high, and she studies and practices hard every day, and now it seems that her efforts have not been in vain.

The county lord glanced at the corpse on the ground, pulled the throwing dagger from the corpse, and then walked to the horses not far away, and led the horses away.

It didn't take long for the lord to find a small river, and she carefully rinsed the bloodstained dagger with it. Then, she rode her horse to the edge of the forest.

If her estimate is correct, General Chen's situation should be very dangerous at this moment. So she hurried to get there.

The edge of the forest, behind is the bottomless cliff, the front of the cliff is five miles to the forest extended by the Praetorian Guard, it is said that no one dares to approach the edge of the forest, and the people who participate in the autumn hunt will not hunt here, so even if they take people's lives here, no one will find out for a while.

General Chen was forced here by several masked men, one of whom looked to be past middle age, but still couldn't hide her murderous aura.

"General Chen, I didn't want to kill you, but you don't know how to retreat, so don't blame me for being rude."

General Chen is a military general, arrogant, and has always been upright, "General Ben has no grievances with you, dare to ask who you are instructed by?" ”

"It doesn't matter who instructs you, you just know that today next year will be your death day."

After that, several masked people picked up big knives and slashed at General Chen, who sighed secretly that he was responsible for protecting everyone's safety, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even protect himself.

General Chen fought with the masked men with his bare hands, and every time she threw a punch, she went straight to the masked man's vital point. However, these masked men were obviously carefully selected, and their martial arts were strong, and after dozens of moves, General Chen not only did not take advantage, but was restrained everywhere.

Just as the men in black were fighting with General Chen, a masked man slashed at General Chen's back with a large knife, and when he was less than a few inches away from General Chen, the big knife quickly fell......

General Chen felt a chill in his back, because the front was pinched, General Chen had no time to care about his back, and in an instant, General Chen realized that he was about to die here.

Then, the cold breath slid down General Chen's back and fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Hearing the sound, General Chen subconsciously turned around, and she saw the county lord riding a brown horse, the long sword came out horizontally, and the left hand reined in the horse and quickly circled behind the masked man, and with a wave of his right hand, the long sword instantly slashed through the masked man's throat, and the masked man fell to the ground one after another.

General Chen was stunned by this martial art, and before the word "county lord" was shouted, he was lifted on his horse by the county lord and walked away.

When they arrived at a safe place in the forest, the county lord jumped off his horse and let General Chen down.

It was only today that General Chen knew that the county lord's martial arts were so high, which was beyond her expectations. I remember some time ago, when she heard that the county lord was the invigilator of this year's martial arts, she also raised questions, but now it seems that she is ignorant.

General Chen looked at the county lord wiping her sword, and stepped forward and said, "Thanks to the county lord's rescue today, the lower officials are grateful, and they will definitely serve the county lord in the future." ”

The county lord looked at General Chen's serious expression and smiled, "Could it be that General Chen has forgotten that you have been attached to my county prince's mansion?" Naturally, the lord of this county will save you. ”

When General Chen heard the county lord say this, it reminded her of the county lord's threat to her that day, and she always had a breath of anger in her heart. Now, she understands that the Junwang Mansion is far more than what she sees, and the Junwang Mansion is very deeply hidden. Judging from the current situation, if she is allowed to choose, the Junwang Mansion is undoubtedly the best choice.

The county lord polished his sword and threw the rags that wiped the sword in the distance, "General Chen, who do you think is going to kill you today?" ”

General Chen pondered for a while, "I don't know. ”

The county lord inserted the sword back into the scabbard, "As far as I know, Zheng Kai is likely to be from Shangshu Mansion, think about it yourself." ”

Some time ago, she was impeached by General Zheng, and the person who attacked her today seems to look very much like General Zheng, could it be ......

"Is it someone from Shangshu Mansion who wants to kill me?" General Chen blurted out.

The county lord pinned the sword back to his waist and looked at General Chen meaningfully, "It's good to understand." ”

General Chen remembered that she visited Shangshu Mansion a few years ago, and every time the people she sent disappeared, and now Shangshu Mansion came to kill her again, it seems that the death of her eldest daughter back then was really related to Shangshu Mansion. General Chen clenched her fists, she must find evidence to avenge her daughter.

General Chen looked at the county lord, hesitated for a while, and said, "County lord, the lower officials have something to ask for." ”

The county lord looked at General Chen and smiled, she had already guessed what was going on, "General Chen, please speak." ”

General Chen suddenly knelt down on one knee to the county lord, "Please ask the county lord to help the lower officials find out the old cases of the year, and the lower officials must not let the little girl die in vain." ”

The county lord helped General Chen up, "This county lord can't afford such a big gift from General Chen, besides, even if you find out, presumably Her Majesty the Empress will not admit it, after all, the events of the year were made by a holy decision, and you are challenging the authority of the royal family by doing so." General Chen, have you thought it through? ”

General Chen looked at the county lord and said firmly, "The lower official has already thought it through, and it's a big deal to die." ”

The county lord patted General Chen on the shoulder, "This county lord understands your feelings, but have you ever thought about your family?" You are not afraid that the entire General's Mansion will be destroyed. ”

"The county lord knows that the heirs of the lower officials are thin. It's just that when the time comes, in case the official ......is unlucky, he will ask the county lord to take care of the little daughter of the lower official, and the lower official will definitely thank the county lord for his great kindness. ”

When the county lord heard General Chen say this, he was even more sure of her determination to take revenge, so that he could not only gain General Chen's loyalty, but also use General Chen's mansion to solve Li Ruofei's big trouble, killing two birds with one stone.

"Since General Chen believes in the county lord so much, the county lord will promise you that the condition is that you will send one hundred taels of gold to the county king's mansion every month."

Since it is a transaction, it is far from enough to rely on favors, plus money, it can be unbreakable.

General Chen pondered that one hundred taels of gold was not difficult for the General's Mansion, and the county lord was undoubtedly showing that she would fulfill her promise, "Okay, the lower officials will send someone to give it every month." ”

The county lord jumped on his horse, "General Chen is refreshing. Walk. ”

"Where?"

The county lord suddenly had a bad premonition, and she rescued General Chen from danger in a hurry, as if someone behind her was silently watching all this.

"Hunting. Back to camp. ”
