Chapter 48: Forcibly Honoring Others
He looked back vigilantly, and there was nothing but the eerie shadows of the trees.
Pei Xuanling continued to ride forward, and he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow again.
At the same time, there was a strange sound in my ears, like an arrow cutting through the air.
"Whew!"
Pei Xuanling rode a horse and dodged keenly.
"Bang!" An arrow was shot at the trunk of a tree near his ear.
Pei Xuanling looked in the direction of the arrow, the light was too dim, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and only saw the assassin wearing a blue Northern Desert robe.
Just then, another arrow came straight at him!
Pei Xuanling quickly pulled out the long knife from the right side of the horse's back, staring at the arrow with his eyes, his body was slightly on one side, and the long knife quickly and ruthlessly cut it.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" In the distance, the sound of Huang Dechang and others shouting loudly was heard.
"This way!" Pei Xuanling responded loudly.
Seeing a large number of men and horses approaching, the Assassin turned and rode into the depths of the forest.
Soon, Huang Dechang and others arrived on horseback.
When Huang Dechang saw the arrows on the branches and the broken arrows that were broken on the ground, he was so frightened that he immediately dismounted and walked to the prince to check the situation.
Huang Dechang: "Your Highness, what's the matter with these arrows?" ”
"There were assassins, but they didn't hurt Lone." Pei Xuanling looked in the direction the assassin left, "When you came just now, did you see any suspicious people?" ”
Huang Dechang recalled, "There was a man in a blue Northern Desert costume who rode past us on a horse. ”
"That's him." The assassin Pei Xuanling saw was also wearing such a costume, "Have you seen his face clearly?" ”
"He rode so fast that we couldn't see what he looked like." Huang Dechang looked annoyed, "I knew that he was an assassin, and the minions should have stopped him at that time." ”
"That's it, let's go down the mountain first." Pei Xuanling took the guards down the mountain together.
When they arrived at the grassland below the mountain, a minister was registering the number of people hunting.
Today's shooting, Dongliang and Beimo each sent 20 people to compete.
Now there are two piles of prey piled on the grassland, and some of them are a little higher, which are the prey shot by the Dongliang Kingdom.
There was a pile of half-shortened ones on the side, which were the prey of the Northern Desert envoys.
There is no need to count at all, and a discerning person can know at a glance that Dongliang has won.
Pei Xuanling and the others handed over the prey to the minister who specially registered it, and sat aside to rest.
One after another, ministers and princes came down the mountain, and they also sat on the side to rest.
After a while, Battle and Emperor Jianyuan also came to the scene.
When Battle looked at the two hills piled up by prey, he knew that the Northern Desert had lost, so he forcibly saved his respect.
"In the end, it is in the territory of Dongliang, you are more familiar with this forest, if it is in our Northern Desert Prairie, the victory or defeat is not certain."
Emperor Jianyuan didn't speak, just found a seat and sat down.
Half an hour later, the results of the hunt came out, and Dongliang had half more prey than the Northern Desert.
At this time, most of the princes and ministers returned from the mountain.
Taking advantage of the large number of people, Huang Dechang knelt down in front of Emperor Jianyuan with a "poof", "Your Majesty, when I was in the hunting ground today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was almost assassinated!" ”
When Emperor Jianyuan heard this, he immediately cared about the prince's situation.
Knowing that the crown prince was not injured, he asked, "Did the assassin catch it?" ”
"It was getting dark, and the Assassin hid in the shadows, allowing him to escape." Pei Xuanling recalled the Assassin's attire, "However, Erchen saw that the Assassin was wearing a blue Northern Desert robe. ”
"Northern Desert Robes?" Emperor Jianyuan turned his head to look at Battle beside him.
