Chapter 271: High Hopes

The emperor's face hidden in the shadows moved slightly, and after a while, he suddenly waved his hand.

"Zhu Yanshun, tell me the situation again."

"Yes."

Zhu Yan complied, and then said with a solemn face.

"At the beginning of the fog, we were worried about His Majesty's safety, so we found this cave for temporary repairs. Later, he met His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince one after another. โ€

King Yu and King An each responded.

"I learned about the changes in the hunting ground from the mouths of the two highnesses, and after waiting for the other highnesses, we thought about escorting Your Majesty out first."

When Zhu Yanshun said this, his face became ugly.

"But there seemed to be a lot of people hiding in the fog, and as soon as we wanted to go out, they came out and attacked. Knowing that we can't get hurt, we can't help but be afraid, neither too far away nor too close to His Majesty. Therefore, it is difficult to move an inch. โ€

"What the hell are these thieves trying to do by trapping us here?"

The Nine Emperors asked in a flustered tone.

"Ninth brother, with my father and Zhu Commander here, what are you afraid of?"

King Yu snorted coldly, and a hint of mockery appeared on his handsome face.

Although King An's face was solemn, his tone was still gentle and calm, and he smiled slightly.

"The second brother knew that the ninth brother was timid, why did he scare him? However, what the second brother said is also reasonable, such thieves really deserve death. โ€

The two princes began to earn favor in front of the emperor again, but Tianquan felt that his heart was a little heavy.

If that's what they say, it's a problem.

Because he knew that even if he wasn't injured in the red mist, once he stayed for more than two hours, he would die here.

And from the beginning of the spring hunt to the present, a full hour and a half has passed.

The purpose of those men in black was obviously to trap them here, and when the hour came, they didn't need to do anything.

He tugged at the hem of his shirt, and then said in a respectful tone.

"Then the subordinate will send a signal first to inform the prince where His Majesty is."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and just when Tianquan began to feel apprehensive in his heart, he finally nodded.

After the two retreated, Tianquan came to the edge of the cave, and when he looked up, he found that Shaoguang was looking at him with a puzzled gaze.

"Don't talk about it for two hours, even if we don't know. Look at these pampered young masters, if they hear the news, they may not know what will happen. โ€

"Rush out now, isn't that someone's target?"

Shake Light frowned.

"Your Majesty."

"Yes, the emperor can't die. The red signal flare, wait for a stick of incense, and if the fog has not cleared by then, the emperor will be taken out after all the people here are dead. โ€

Shake the light is noncommittal, anyway, it is Tianquan who makes the decision at this time, he pulled out the red signal flare on his waist and sent it out without thinking.

It seems that he completely ignores the phrase "everyone is dead", including himself.

Tianquan looked at the cold side face of Shaoguang and sighed. At the same time, I felt that there was no moment in my heart that I hoped that the Shaoyang County Lord would go smoothly more than now.

"I decided."

Shaking the light and glancing at Tianquan, the latter said with a solemn face.

"If the county lord can dissipate the red mist before the matter is irreparable, I will turn a blind eye to her and the prince's affairs!"

"Poof! Ahem! โ€

Shaking the light was choked by his own saliva.

And at this moment, Shangguan Li, who had high hopes, was struggling to dodge attacks from all directions.

No one came over just now, and now the other party must have known that there was no one behind her, so she was no longer as timid as before, vowing to crush this troublesome insect to death.

Shangguan Li made a difficult lower waist movement and dodged a cold arrow.

Then without looking, the silver needle in his hand was thrown out. There was a sudden panic in the distance, and the offensive slowed down, and she was able to catch her breath and change places.

It would take about twenty minutes for her poison to take effect, but it was less than an hour before the final poison of the Red Mist.

Although she didn't know the situation on Tianquan's side, she guessed that these people would not let people out easily if they engaged in such a big battle.

If things really come to the point where they have to make a decision, Tianquan will definitely choose to fish out those royal families at all costs.

The hunting ground is very large, but the emperor and his entourage can't go too deep, and they should still be on the periphery. If the direction of the team of black-clothed people just now was the guide, it would take Tianquan or so for them to take people out in about thirty minutes.

Coupled with some errors and preparation for the unexpected, if Shangguan Li was Tianquan, he would act after waiting for a cup of tea at most.

That is, she can't wait for the poison to take effect.

"That's it."

Shangguan Li bit the knife in her mouth, which she didn't take advantage ofโ€”Qiushui was left in the carriage by her. Now that I think about it, it is really a taboo in her profession.

She raised her eyebrows, and the cold light was refracted through her pupils, which seemed to be becoming more and more transparent.

Let's fight it.

In the rain of arrows and rubble, Shangguan Li did not retreat but advanced, like a dexterous cat moving around the trees. As soon as she appeared, those who hid their heads and tails really couldn't sit still, shooting arrows and chasing pursuits.

She wanted to dodge, the speed was not too fast, and she was about to be caught up in the blink of an eye, when suddenly, several screams rang out.

The few people who came to chase him fell in response, and the companions next to him suddenly jumped three feet away, for fear of being touched.

"It's a trap, be careful!"

Shangguan Li turned a deaf ear to the movement behind him, and rushed straight towards the central water.

"Stop her!"

She rushed too close for a moment, and the arrow was not easy to aim, so several people lunged at her.

Shangguan Li shot out the last four silver needles on his body, and without looking at the results, he kicked the tree trunk, and the dagger in his mouth cut through the black cloth on a person's face.

Blood splattered a little and landed on her face.

"You're dead!"

The black-clothed man whose face was slashed was like a dead man, and his eyes were surging with madness.

Shangguan Li took a sip, spit out the dagger, and said coldly.

"Don't worry, you will definitely outlive your master."

As soon as the words fell, she felt a chill behind her, it turned out that these people had realized that letting her get close was basically a dead end, so they gave up holding on to the water and retreated a distance.

At the same time, because the range was vacant, dozens of arrows were aimed at her back at once.

"Die."

Someone screamed fiercely.

"Wait, there's someone else...... Yes! โ€

"It's reinforcements, uh!"

Shangguan Li, who hid behind the tree with a slow beat, did not usher in the imaginary rain of arrows, and only heard the screams that suddenly sounded in the forest.

After a few moments, the forest, which had just been lively, fell silent.

Someone came to help?
