(5) The singing of geese

When I learned the news of the Son of Heaven's safari, I heard that His Royal Highness had inadvertently said it.

Safari ...... It's going to go out of Beijing!

In the Imperial City, it is a fool's dream to get close to the emperor, and even the top masters have very little chance of successfully assassinating the emperor.

However, if the emperor leaves the palace, it is a different matter.

Especially in the wild, as long as the time comes...... can take the life of the dog emperor in one fell swoop!

The dark iron found at that time was only half the size of a fist...... You can't hit a dagger or a dagger, but only one is more than enough—

Arrow.

The clusters of arrows made of dark iron were quickly driven out, with bamboo as the shaft and horned eagle feathers as the arrows. Quenched into ...... And there are only two of these black iron arrows.

But I know that there is only one chance in all, and if you don't succeed in one chance, you will never find such an opportunity again in this life.

I suspect that His Royal Highness should have known about my plans, and that is why he did not shy away from telling me everything. Moreover, he can be regarded as acquiescing. Yes, acquiescence. Now that he is in power, and Yi Beichen has the military power in his body, even if he is not a legitimate prince at this time, after the death of the old emperor, he will be the same...... Will be on one side.

There will always be dead men who will pave the way for the new emperor, and I naturally understand this. And it would be most appropriate for me to be such a person.

I hid in the woods, observing the movements of the people in the distance.

…… Here it comes.

Neatly pulled out an arrow feather from the quiver behind his back, and drew the bow to the fullest, just as eighteen years ago, when I was a young man, under the guidance of my father, I picked up the bow and arrow, and pulled it away.

The morning sun was a bit harsh, and the clusters of arrows in front of me glowed with a faint blue light.

I lowered my eyes, and only after a moment did I raise my eyes to see that the dog emperor in fine clothes was already hovering under my arrows.

This arrow is fired, and I know what the consequences will be.

But this is also the closest I've come to revenge...... One arrow will be my revenge! The souls of the 100 and 100 members of my Yong family can rest in peace!!

For some reason, my hands trembled slightly. My archery skills were taught by my father, and now I use them to avenge my father, so it's no better!

Dog Emperor! Come on!!

As soon as the hooked bowstring was loosened, only to hear a 'boom', the arrow flashed with a glittering blue light and shot towards the dog emperor's heart, and just before the arrow cluster was about to touch, a figure suddenly flashed, and with a wave of the long knife, it actually cut my arrow in two.

Elbechen ......!

I was shocked in my heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good! Now the emperor is not dead, but has attracted the pursuit of the Imperial Forest Army. I hurried to the horses that had been prepared, jumped on them, and rode away, but they were not to be discovered by the trees.

This place is densely forested and the terrain is complex, but fortunately, I have already explored it, and it is not difficult to get out of danger!

And just then, I heard a sharp neighing of a horse—and when I turned my head, I saw a white horse rushing straight out, as if frightened, and then at the man on the horse......

"Xinyi ......?"

You...... Why would you come to a place like this if you don't know how to ride a horse!

Looking back at the chasing Royal Forest Army, I gritted my teeth, turned the horse's head, and flicked the whip heavily: "Drive!" ”

Xin Yi, don't be afraid, I'll save you...... Big brother is coming!

Gallop all the way and see you struggle and flip on horseback. But the good thing is...... I finally caught up with ...... At the moment when you need me the most, I am here.

It's good I didn't lose you.

Thankfully, I can continue to protect you......

Even though the pursuers behind me were in hot pursuit, I was not afraid. Now it is impossible for Mu Fangjin to tell others about your acquaintance, so ...... In the eyes of others, you are my proton, and I think that no matter what Yi Beichen is, it is impossible to risk your life.

It's a pity that I misread him.

By the time I got off the horse, my legs were so bad that I couldn't walk around for long periods of time. But I'm still hoping that there will be a 1 in 10,000 chance of escaping. It wasn't until I looked back again that I saw the bow raised by the Imperial Guards, and the strings that were drawn.

I think...... I'm afraid I really can't escape this time. or overestimated Yi Beichen's feelings for you, or ...... I really didn't expect my skills to be so poor.

Are we going to die together? No...... No, you're innocent, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be buried with someone like me. You should have a better future...... It's just that in your future, I'm afraid that there will be no more me.

Your eyes seem to be terrified, and I roll over and press you against the trunk of the tree, blocking you with my own body. Try to make a gentle smile to soothe you: "It's going to be fine...... Xinyi. I paused and lowered my eyes. After all, this is probably the last thing I can say to you.

The Imminent Death of Man...... Is his words good?

I smiled bitterly: "There are still ...... I never blamed him. Tell him for me...... Your Highness is ready to do it, so you have to be very careful. ”

Straighten up, just as upright as I am a man. Take a few steps back and distance yourself away. "Xin Yi, and the last one. …… I want you to close your eyes until ...... He came to you. ”

As if you didn't understand what was going to happen, you still looked at me in a daze, and only then did you submissively reach out and put your hand over your eyes. You guessed it right, you were so ice and snow smart, you guessed it right or not.

The stinging pain of the arrow piercing into my body at first caused a cold sweat like an intuitive surge of blood and veins, and I couldn't help but let out a 'hmm'. But I know, I can't let you hear that...... If you hear it, you'll be worried, you'll be afraid.

Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to suppress even his heavy breathing. But the force of the arrow cluster piercing was so great that I almost couldn't stand on my feet.

No way...... If it falls, it ...... This stray arrow will hurt you......

Blood was already dripping from the corners of my mouth, and I stood still, looking at your hands that were trembling slightly over your eyes.

Don't be afraid...... Where is the big brother...... Big brother can protect you......

I laughed, but ...... You don't see it. Blood snaked down the corners of his mouth, like a wriggling flesh worm, which was unpleasant. I wanted to raise my hand to wipe it, but I realized that my arm was so stiff that it was hard to move.

The stinging pain of the arrows in my back gradually stopped, and I didn't know how many arrows I had just received. But the good thing is...... I'm alive...... Alive, aren't you?

Xinyi ...... Look, Big Brother is fine...... You can rest assured.

I wanted to say that to you, but I couldn't say anything when I pursed my lips.

I looked down, but saw that an arrow cluster had penetrated my body and popped up in my chest, and it was precisely because of the great power of this arrow that my body suddenly lost its balance, staggered, fell to the ground with a plop, and then fell down.

I struggled to see your face again, only to see your slightly trembling shoulders. "Big brother...... Yong Mingyan ...... Song geese? You answer me, are you singing, are you there? ”

I'm here. It's just that I don't want you to see what I look like now, I'm just afraid of scaring you, and I just hope that you can remember Yongmingyan when you ...... The person who can always think of it is the person who walked side by side and held your hand during the Midyear Festival.

At that time, the street was so long, as if we could walk down like that, and we could walk to our gray hair together.

So, Xin Yi, please don't open your eyes to look at me, don't be frightened by my appearance...... Allow me to give you ...... The Last Tenderness......

I slowly closed my eyes, and at the last moment of losing consciousness, I seemed to hear a string of geese singing high in the blue sky.
