Chapter 124: Assassination
The wind whispered in his ears, the scenery passed out of shape in his eyes, and under his body was the jolting of the horses as they galloped, delicate, but frightened cries, accompanied by the galloping all the way.
And Griffith followed, galloping wildly, the white horse and silver helmet like a streamer, under the shade of the trees, between the autumn winds, chasing and saving the princess who was already panicked and could only instinctively hug the horse's neck.
"Please!! Please stop by~~!! Princess Charlotte was already frightened and lost her backbone, and Zhu Hui shouted brainlessly, how could the flowers in this greenhouse cope with such an emergency.
However, in such a situation, two fast horses, one in front and one behind, along the downhill terrain, unconsciously came to a small stream.
Fluttering and fluttering, the horses' hooves stepped from the relatively solid ground into the cool water, and rushed into the stream between the translucent splashes.
But Griffith pulled the reins, turned the horse sharply, and ran over Princess Charlotte's horse, which had slowed down a little when it entered the stream, and accelerated on the shore to catch up.
Then, when the two reached a feasible distance in parallel, with a snort, Griffith kicked the stirrup, jumped suddenly, and the snow-white cloak that spread out with the wind, like the wings of a bird, set off Griffith's light and sharp came behind Princess Charlotte.
The sound of the cloak shaking in the wind, with the sound of the wind, Griffith sat down behind Princess Charlotte, and at the same time grabbed the reins with a swift hand, covering the princess's slender jade hand, which was holding the reins so tightly.
This sudden sense made the princess break away from the screams at this moment, and felt the power and gentleness that reassured her under the cover of the big hand.
Then, with a lovely snort, he looked back at the person behind him, and Nagriffith, who was close at hand, had an extraordinary demeanor, and his handsome and unusual face was in front of him, and even snorted...... Smell each other.
"It's all right!" , Griffith's gentle voice was a little overdone, closer to the princess's face, and spit out firmly and surely, stabilizing the girl's heart.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop......", and then, under all kinds of commands, he calmed the horse and slowed down, while on the other side was his war horse, which followed in the shade of the trees.
And the moment the horse stopped, the princess turned back sharply and hugged Griffith, not caring about the defense of men and women, nor considering the status of the child, the simple girl threw herself into his arms at this moment, whimpering as if sobbing.
"You're not hurt, are you? ~"Griffith's voice was intoxicatingly soft.
This caused the girl to tighten the arm that was holding Fez's neck, as if she were about to squeeze her body into the other's chest.
But the next moment he let go, first crying and then laughing, and the delicate body of the laugh shook, so that Griffith was a little unsure of the situation.
"What's wrong with you?" , Griffith asked with concern.
But it shows the princess's lively laughter, the joy of the rest of her life, and at the same time, like the excitement of a city child after suddenly encountering an exciting experience, "I was so scared just now!!" My heart is still pounding, I, I'm so ......"
Before he could finish his slightly excited words, Griffith suddenly withdrew and dismounted, stepped into the stream at the depth of his legs, and smiled at the princess.
"A little flustered? ~", the princess blushed slightly, "Okay, let's go back, shall we?" Everybody's worried about you......"
But he didn't realize that from a higher position, a malicious gaze was being cast obscurily through the cracks in the branches.
But at this moment.
Gerry ...... Fez ~~~!! An urgent cry sounded from afar, and then from a distance it approached at a rapid pace, and the sound of horses' hooves like a tide surged in.
"Griffith!!" Gus's voice was loud, full of concern, and behind him the Eagles' Brigade of Men and Horses followed closely behind him.
Then, seeing this, Griffith directly faced the direction from which the voice came, "Gus-", and Griffith took two steps forward to meet the sound of wading water.
However, just as he was about to raise his right hand to say hello, he ————!!!! , The sharp scream of his life was extremely fast from far to near, and then at the moment when Griffith didn't have time to react, it directly pierced through his silver-white breastplate, and a stubby arrow sank into most of it in a daze.
Burst!!! uh——!!! Griffith's body rose and fell in an instant, and then a mouthful of red blood foamed into a mist, staining the air red for a small bit.
With a plop, the back of the jade pillar of the Golden Mountain was slapped into the water, splashing a few feet high, shining in the sun chillingly.
The princess watched Griffith fall into the stream in a daze, and then she was so shocked that she covered her cherry mouth with her little hand, and let out a gaping and useless scream of panic.
"Griffith !!!!" When Gus saw such a scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and shouted loudly, pulling the reins fiercely, and spurring the horses under him to speed up.
Puff !! He didn't stop his horse at all, jumped straight into the water, and hurried forward, but he carefully slowed his movements as he approached, and looked around, searching for the direction in which the damned arrow might be shot, and the abominable ones.
The scene in his eyes was like a phantom, and Gus scouted his hand on the handle of the sword behind his back, as if he was overreacting and searching.
"Abominable !!" , but found nothing, and turned to look at Griffith, who had been lifted up by Casgaard.
"Griffith !!" Kasgar called out to her head in a panic, while the princess was stunned, her mouth trembling and unable to make a sound.
"Hey!! Princess!!!!! But the next moment, the princess was frightened by the yelling on the side, but it was Gus who was angry and angry because he was anxious about Griffith.
"What the hell is going on?!!!" The poor princess was grabbed by Gus's shoulders, and he asked aloud with a hideous face.
"Where did the arrows fly from!!" In a fit of rage, Gus had no control at all, and he shook the petite princess like a doll.
"It hurts~~~", the princess said weakly.
"Griffiths!! Griffith!!!! Kascarlett called with tears in her eyes, and then whimpered and lowered her head to cry, and the sadness suddenly pervaded.
But the next moment, Griffith, with his head bowed and silent, slowly patted him on the shoulder with his right hand and shook his hand.
"Don't cry...... ahem, ahem, ahem!! …… Kascarlet~~", in Casgart's surprised gaze, Griffith coughed slightly painfully, the corners of his mouth were red, and he looked at her with azure eyes.
"Griffiths!! Oh!!!!! ..................", there was a cheer ...... all around, and everyone immediately put aside the grief and tension in their hearts and gathered around their leader.
However, a little farther away, the hunter who was hiding behind a tree, the attendant of the White Dragon General, clenched his fists a little unwillingly.
"The wound of the arrow...... Does it matter? Jiedu looked concerned.
Griffith shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and coughed a few times with a painful face, without blood, and brought a trace of abnormal flushing.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the people around him, he grabbed the arrow and pulled it out with a brush, which made everyone's heart jump suddenly.
"Ahem!! Don't touch it~", Griffith dangled his arrow, and in the eyes of Jet and Casgar who looked at it with wide eyes, "probably poisoned ......".
"Isn't that more ......," said Jie Du, frowning slightly.
"It's okay, ahem, this thing helped me stop ......," Griffith said with a relaxed expression as he reached down the neckline and pulled the silk rope to reveal the blood-red oval in front of everyone.
Yes...... There were exclamations from all around.
But Gus muttered in a condensed voice, "Overlord's Egg ......"
"Liar, huh?!"
"How could such a thing happen!!"
"It's good that the dog is lucky!! ~”
"It's incredible!! ~~~”
Everyone's strange sighs of emotion were endless, but Gus was not overjoyed, and while relieved, he tightened his brows a little solemnly.
"This is no ordinary luck......
"It's a ......miracle," I don't know who shouted, and it happened to pick up the next sentence that Gus muttered to himself.
"I'll take my men to search the woods over there." Gus walked to the periphery without looking back, and reliably put down this sentence.
Griffith's azure eyes looked at him with a slight smile, and he was pleased with Gus's obscure tacit understanding.
"Griffith, take off your armor and see how far it hurts, right?" Casgard looked at the blood foaming at the corner of Griffith's mouth and said worriedly.
With a gentle smile, even though his ribs had broken twice, Griffith looked at Casgard and smiled silently, but in the next moment!!!
Swipe it!! As if intuition, he shook his head violently, and his sharp gaze like a falcon pierced directly in one direction, sharp as substance.
Crossing the boundaries of space, his gaze passed through the branches of the fallen trees, and the unwilling, but frustrated and annoyed face of the White Dragon Jianjun.
The icy shivering gaze did not show any fluctuations in the other party, and the other party also intertwined Griffith's gaze for a moment, but as if nothing had happened, without any burden, he left in the bump of acceleration on horseback.
"Hmph~ The price will be very high, this poison is ...... with injury", Griffith let out a cold sneer.
