Chapter Thirty-Six: An Ambush in the Forest
The forest is getting denser, and the horses that could still run happily have gradually slowed down. Chai Xuan stayed on his horse, and when he looked around, there was no one around, and the empty forest was a little silent, and there was not even a birdsong.
was about to get off the horse to identify the direction, but he saw a gray rabbit in his side, and his heart was suddenly excited, and he directly drew an arrow and a bow. But after aiming, he couldn't put his bow and arrow out again, so he put it down again. I was surprised to find that the rabbit's gray fur seemed to have blood stains on it.
Could it be that this rabbit is hurt?
Chai Xuan quickly turned over and dismounted, heading towards the rabbit. Just before he could bend down, the soles of his feet suddenly collapsed, and a rope popped out. When Chai Xuan came back to her senses, the two-finger-thick rope quickly shrank and pulled!
"Ahh
With Chai Xuan's scream, the whole person fell straight up like an upside-down onion, and his head was instantly bloodshot. Hanging in the air, swinging back and forth.
What's going on!
Chai Xuan dizzy, looking blankly at the completely upside-down world, supporting her two hands, only to feel that her two feet were strangled by the tighter and tighter ropes.
The violently shaking rope gradually stabilized, and Chai Xuan's dizzy head gradually sobered up. Apparently, the fixer is starting to work again.
Chai Xuan rolled her eyes, crossed her head to look at the horse not far away, and then looked at the gray rabbit above her head, the question mark was about to be poured out of her head.
How can this good person have a trap and put it in front of a wounded rabbit impartially, is it to catch the rabbit or to catch the person who picks up the rabbit?
Chai Xuan, who grabbed the air with both hands, sat up vigorously and tried to see if he could hook the rope, but unfortunately his ability was limited, and he fell back out of breath every time he was halfway through. The rope that he still carried swayed back and forth, like a yo-yo that had dropped the line.
"Mom~ Someone's coming, help-"
Chai Xuan, who really had no choice, began to try to call for help, thinking that she was at most lost, but she didn't expect to be hung in such a place where there was no one else, this luck was too bad! Why, it's just me alone.
Just when Chai Xuan was shaking helplessly, an arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere and came straight towards Concubine Chai Xuan. Chai Xuan was startled for a moment, looking at her shoulders getting closer and closer in amazement, her eyes closed, and she thought to herself, this time I am afraid that my life will be over!
But I only heard a clang in my ears, my body fell suddenly, and I subconsciously roared from my throat, but the next second I fell firmly into a solid embrace.
"Xuan'er, are you okay?"
Chai Xuan, who was frightened, cautiously opened one eye to look at the face in front of him, and stood up instantly.
"Zihuan, why are you here?" It seems that his little life was saved by Cao Pi this time!
"Noble, you're not hurt!"
Before Cao Pi could answer, another sentence suddenly came from behind him. Chai Xuan turned around and saw that it was Bai Yu. And several soldiers came behind him, and they stepped forward to protect Cao Pi and Chai Xuan.
"White Feather."
Seeing Bai Yu with the sword on his side, Chai Xuan was slightly surprised, it seemed that it was Bai Yu who had just blocked the sword and cut the rope, and it was Cao Pi who caught him.
The horror was momentary, but suddenly several dark arrows flew out from behind the trees. A few soldiers who did not have time to react were unfortunately hit by arrows and fell to the ground, causing everyone to retreat in fright. But Cao Pi tightly protected Chai Xuan behind him, staring nervously at the direction where the dark arrow was flying.
"Who, come out of me!" Cao Pi said in a deep voice, his sword eyebrows were heavy, and his sharp eyes stared in a certain direction in the distance.
Cao Pi's killing intent made Chai Xuan tense, and unconsciously grabbed Cao Pi's sleeves, staring nervously at Bai Yu who was standing at the front.
"Chai Xuan, don't come unharmed!"
Before you see him, you hear his voice first. The cold voice made Chai Xuan's eyebrows tighten, only to see a black dress slowly come out, and a group of people holding arrows and wearing people's clothes also slowly stepped forward from the depths of the forest, surrounding Chai Xuan and the others.
Chai Xuan moved out from behind Cao Pi slightly and couldn't help but be surprised, "Yuyan, why are you?" ”
"How, are you surprised?" The smoke eyebrows were slanted, revealing a cold killing intent, and the red lips were half-hooked, "I thought I could only catch a shrimp, but I didn't expect to fall into a big fish." ”
"You did something to that horse!" Bai Yu stepped forward with his sword, his cold eyebrows sank, and his starry eyes were angry.
Horse? Is it your own flame? Chai Xuan looked for the red horse with a confused face, but the red figure was nowhere to be found.
With cold eyes, Yu Yan slowly pulled the long sword out of its scabbard, pointed it at Bai Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, how can I lead you here." Not only that, but there is also Emperor Wei, God really helps me! ”
"With the Tiger Ben Army and layers of guards all around, how did you get in."
Cao Pi's eyes were cold, and the hand protecting Chai Xuan tightened unconsciously, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the cold sword that Bai Yu turned in his direction.
"If I don't even have this means, how can I kill you!" His eyes suddenly sank, and Sen Sen's killing intent instantly oozed from between his slightly tight eyebrows.
It turns out that Yu Yan is not just a well-trained undercover agent, but also a horse trainer. The horse had already been trained, and then he used the equestrian technique to let the horse take Chai Xuan to the designated place according to his own requirements.
For this, she had already let her subordinates infiltrate the barracks, and then let her people pretend to be Cao Bing, getting closer to the paddock little by little. At this time, Liu Quan was leading another pair of men and horses, and led the soldiers guarding the paddock in the opposite direction.
Bai Yu couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand and looked at Yu Yan intently. It seems that she must have thought that Cao Pi would let Man Chong follow Chai Xuan throughout the whole process, so she used her as a lure to lure people to the bait. It's just that she didn't expect that it would be herself and Cao Pi who would follow.
Chai Xuan looked at the two sides in a fog, there were dozens of people on the opposite side, surrounded by a few of them, and a few fell to the ground*, this force is too disparity, isn't it, maybe it will hang in this place!
Chai Xuan couldn't help swallowing and foaming, and looked at Cao Pi with a calm face with her eyelids, and she was sure in her heart. It is said that although Cao Pi died early in history, he still has to pay back a few years. That also means that Yu Yan will definitely not be able to kill Cao Pi today.
"Yu Yan, I advise you to stop it quickly, otherwise assassinating Emperor Wei is a big crime for the Nine Clans!"
The starry eyes were resolute, Bai Yu stared at the iron-faced man in front of him tightly, the long sword was held horizontally, and the nerves in his whole body began to tense. Cold eyes swept over the people with bows and arrows around them, and a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from their foreheads.
"That's it, you're still so quick to talk! Bai Yu, today is the death day of you and Cao Pi! The butterfly's eyes grew cold, and her slightly raised eyes were full of murderous intent.
Seeing that Yu Yan slowly raised her arm and wanted to issue an order, if she was any longer, it was estimated that she would be stabbed into a hornet's nest. Although it is unlikely that he will die, it is estimated that it will hurt for a long time if he is blown up like that!
"Hey, Yu Yan has something to say, something to say!" Chai Xuan left Cao Pi and rushed to the front with an arrow step, horizontal in the center of the two groups of people.
"Chai Xuan, what do you want to do!" Yu Yan looked at the person who rushed forward in front of her vigilantly. The hand raised into the air was also put back.
Seeing Chai Xuan suddenly rush to the front, not only did Bai Yu be a little surprised, but also Cao Pi's face was full of panic. Cao Pi, who was worried about Chai Xuan, wanted to follow forward, but was stopped by Bai Yu.
"White Feather!" The sword eyebrows tightened, and the puzzled Cao Pi glared angrily at Bai Yu who was blocking in front of him.
Facing Cao Pi's angry eyes, Bai Yu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please believe in your nobles. Don't go and disturb her plans. ”
Cao Pi looked at Bai Yu suspiciously, raised his eyes to look at Chai Xuan's back, and slowly froze between his eyebrows. Now, she is the target of the enemy, if she stays by Chai Xuan's side, it is estimated that the enemy will also take her as the first target. So, it makes sense to stay away from her.
Looking around at the masked soldiers around him, as well as the posture of the arrows on the string, Chai Xuan sighed helplessly. "Yu Yan, when is the time for retribution, do you have to kill Bai Yu, kill Cao Pi, and then become a wanted criminal in Wei before you give up?"
"I will not take revenge and will never give up. Chai Xuan, I said that you can't get rid of Li Niang's death either, so I won't let you go if you are talking about it today! Yu Yan looked coldly at the guy on the opposite side with his eyebrows and eyes huddled together, and said stiffly.
She is somewhat afraid of Chai Xuan's skills, she can rush out so recklessly, either delaying the opportunity or having some premeditation, she can't be fooled again.
"Yu Yan, I know that Li Niang is even more important to you than life. But do you know that you are the same for Li Niang. ”
As Chai Xuan spoke, she secretly looked at Yu Yan's cold face, and seemed to be gradually moved. Sure enough, Li Niang is still the biggest softness in her heart. In that case, you have to play the emotional card.
"Actually, after I went back that time, I asked General Manzhong. Before Li Niang died, she once left a sentence about you. ”
"What are you talking about, Li Niang, she has something to leave for me?" Yu Yan's originally calm face began to get excited, and her frosty eyes also showed signs of moistening.
Seeing that Yu Yan's emotions finally reacted, Chai Xuan suddenly remembered that when she persuaded those who were looking for death in her TV series, she usually found some excuses to wait for an opportunity to approach, if she could also think of a way to get close to Yu Yan, then she would be able to defeat the enemy with one move.
Her eyebrows sank, and Chai Xuan deliberately put on an emotional look, "Yu Yan, I don't like to see Li Niang's tragedy, at least I don't know her...... Don't you want to know what she said when she was dying? ”
As soon as she mentioned knowing, Chai Xuan felt uncomfortable. Obviously, Li Chunye is a hard-working woman, but she has to treat those women in the Spring Pavilion like that. I don't understand the principle of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, and exchanging the suffering of others for your own value can only be a cycle of cause and effect.
"This sword in your hand is what she left you!" Chai Xuan pointed to the long sword in Yu Yan's hand and said. "Don't you really care!"
Chai Xuan glanced at it and seemed to touch Yu Yan's heart, her eyes gradually oozed tears, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble slightly.
I'll go, this random guess can also bump into it, it seems that we are lucky. It seems that as long as you continue to know it with reason and emotion, there is hope for your own salvation.
Just when Chai Xuan was a little happy, she saw a ruthless look in Yu Yan's eyes, and hatred was strong. With a twist of his wrist, the cold sword that was still standing on Yu Yan's side instantly crossed Chai Xuan's neck!
The sudden killing intent made Chai Xuan's body cold and completely stunned! Why doesn't this guy come out according to the routine, it seems that the kung fu on TV can't be trusted!
"Xuan'er!"
"Don't move!"
Cao Pi was frightened by that sword, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately. But the figure hadn't moved yet, but was stopped by Yu Yan's shout. But staring at the blade that was getting closer and closer to Chai Xuan's thin neck, he could only stand in place angrily.
Looking at the blade of the sword across the side of her neck, Chai Xuan's heart couldn't help but rise. What I am most afraid of is cutting off my head, because this wound can heal, and if my head falls off, can I sweat when I grow up?
"Chai Xuan, don't play tricks on you. No matter what Li Niang said in the end, you must die today! Shoot the arrows! "My eyes are like ice, and I am cold to the bones. At the sound of an order, everyone drew their bows and strings.
I only heard the sound of swishing, and everyone fell to the ground in response. It's just that it's not Cao Pi's people, but Yu Yan's subordinates!
"What's going on?" Yu Yan looked in horror at the people around her who were hit by arrows and fell, and the whole person was not good.
Seeing this, Bai Yu seized the opportunity to step forward quickly, and blocked the sword that was lying under Chai Xuan's neck with a sword.
Chai Xuan, who was shocked by such an impact, subconsciously protected her face and stepped back, but the next second she fell into an embrace.
"Xuan'er, are you okay?"
Chai Xuan, who fell into Cao Pi's arms, shook her head slightly and quickly stood up. saw that Bai Yu was firmly in front of him.
Didn't he say that it would never matter again, what would he do to work so hard for himself. Bai Yu, how much do you want me to owe you?
Yu Yan, who was bounced away, quickly retreated. And those people began to quickly surround Yu Yan, and they were all nervously looking at Cao Jun who was slowly surrounding him.
"Your Majesty, the minister's escort is late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! Seeing that he quickly stepped forward and bowed at Cao Pi's feet, he seemed to be very frightened.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhen lightly and motioned for him to get up. Her eyes swept over Chai Xuan beside her, but her gaze fell on Bai Yu's body.
Looking at more and more Cao Jun around her, Yu Yan panicked. These people should all be chasing after the people of Willow Springs, how could they all come here.
"You rebels and thieves, do you think that a small plan to attack us will attract us to the past!" Suddenly, a person stood with a shout, staring at Yu Yan with round eyes, and looked at Yu Yan menacingly. But it was Yu Yan's teeth that were ruthless, and her eyes were about to split.
Impartially, standing on the opposite side of the crowd is the person he hates the most - full of favors!
"Come on, give General Ben to take down this group of rebellious ministers and thieves!" Cao Zhen paused, and his strong voice seemed to be about to submerge the entire forest, which made people's hearts chill.
As soon as the order came out, in an instant, the black smoke in the forest was everywhere, and everyone was instantly confused, and they all looked around in a panic. Almost everyone started shouting "It's on fire!" ”
In an instant, the smoke filled the air, and everyone began to mess up. The people around Cao Pi shouted to protect His Majesty, and gathered towards Cao Pi and Chai Xuan.
