Chapter 18: "Joining" If You Can't Beat It

Hunting grounds

"Put on the clothes of the man in black and save your life."

You Qingyun pulled out two black clothes from the killer and quickly put them on his body.

"Qingyun, what should I do? There are hundreds of them armed with such crossbows..."

After You Qingyun got the situation from the man in black, he stunned him with one palm, and looked around with a solemn expression, Yuan Xingyu was a little flustered, holding the military crossbow he had just taught himself, some couldn't put it down, and some felt chills in his heart, and there were repeated scenes in his heart of being shot into hedgehogs by dozens of people.

"We have to find a way to get a whole horse, thousands of miles around the hunting ground, it's too slow to walk, put all the crossbow arrows in the quiver, let's go back first."

You Qingyun sorted out all the captured crossbow arrows, and this sharp weapon would be the life-saving guy for the two of them.

"Qingyun, Qingyun, there are people with us who are being hunted down."

"Brother Jie..."

You Qingyun, who was lowering his head to sort out the crossbow arrows, was shaken by Yuan Xingyu for a while, and looked up to see that it was Xie Feng, who had entered the hunting ground with him before, and at this time he was also embarrassed to avoid the crossbow between the trees.

You Qingyun watched them keep approaching here, a distance of about a hundred steps, You Qingyun turned back to Yuan Xingyu in a low voice and said:

"Lie here and don't move, I'll save him, give me the dagger."

"Hey, hey, they've got seven or eight... Seven or eight people! ”

As soon as Yuan Xingyu lowered his voice and spoke, You Qingyun, who took the dagger, slowly walked there with a hidden figure.

"Xie Feng, Xie Feng ,..."

"Who?"

"I'm You Qingyun"

You Qingyun hid twenty steps behind Xie Feng's tree, and whispered his name, Xie Feng looked at it suspiciously, he didn't expect to meet this guy here. I saw You Qingyun pointing at him first and then to the right, and then pointing to himself, signaling from the left.

The corners of Xie Feng's mouth were a little wry, and then the two looked at each other and nodded, and the man in black gradually surrounded Xie Feng under the launch of crossbow arrows. I saw that he was holding a hunting bow and arrow, and he leaned over and shot but did not hit the man in black like You Qingyun, so he could only move to the right to change direction, divert the man in black, and create an opportunity for You Qingyun, the man in black chased extremely fast, and felt that Xie Feng was about to run out of food, and the speed was even faster, and it didn't take long to chase You Qingyun to the place where the big tree was hiding.

"Good opportunity..."

The man in black was facing away from You Qingyun, his mind was all on the person he was chasing, You Qingyun hurriedly covered it, and just kept up with the pace of the man in black, at this time You Qingyun was running side by side with the last man in black who was running slower, and the eyes of the two people crossed their heads.

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were raised, as if he was asking in his heart what was the number of people just now? How can this be an extra one?

You Qingyun saw that the man in black wanted to see the person in front of him, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, and the dagger flashed, slashed from the neck of the man in black, and then gently placed it in the dense grass, wiped the blood of the dagger on the clothes of the man in black, and covered his face again.

"Hurry up, you have delayed the big thing, you have died ten times..."

Slightly because of the penultimate man in black, seeing that You Qingyun was still more than ten steps away from him, he urged fiercely with fierce eyes, and kept rambling, You Qingyun, who frowned, saw that he was still about to say, the dagger quickly swiped the man's neck, and then gently put him on the grass, the man in black probably didn't expect that he would die from talking too much.

"There are five people left..."

You Qingyun's eyes glowed with evil light, and he would not feel any pity and softness for all the enemies who swung his sword at him, this was what his father told him since he was a child, and it was also the truth that he had always adhered to. At this time, You Qingyun was like a soul envoy who incarnated into hell, and then solved another person in the same way, a man in black closest to You Qingyun, seemed to have found something, stopped and looked back, You Qingyun directly raised the crossbow and came with a shot, which penetrated the throat of the man in black and fell to the ground.

"Bastard..."

There were still three men in black who ran at the front, and finally found out that a spy had mixed in behind them, and quickly scattered and hid behind the trees. Xie Feng, who was tactically transferred in front, also discovered the situation and hid behind a tree, and the three parties were separated by twenty or thirty steps.

"Brother Jie, let's have a double-sided attack."

shouted, and threw the general's crossbow and quiver hard, and the man in black suddenly became uncalm, and hurriedly transferred, but the man in black behind couldn't dodge, and fell another, and Xie Feng's crossbow arrow was also fired instantly, straight into the back of one of the remaining two, and only one person did not dare to run again. You Qingyun and Xie Feng exchanged glances, Xie Feng continued to fire, You Qingyun rushed forward in two steps and one step at a time, a tumbling crossbow was sent directly into the throat of the man in black, You Qingyun was slightly tired and lay on the ground, seeing Xie Feng's somewhat embarrassed figure, he reached out and pulled You Qingyun up, and said with gratitude:

"This is a favor I owe you."

You Qingyun patted the dust on his body, glanced at Xie Feng, and smiled a little proudly;

"No, you owe me twice."

Xie Feng smiled bitterly:

"Brother You said yes, that is, let's go! I feel like the danger isn't over. ”

After listening to this, You Qingyun cleared his smile, and told Xie Feng all the information he had taken with a solemn expression, Xie Feng also put on black clothes, and the two ran towards Yuan Xingyu's place.

"Qingyun, you're back, guess what I saw just now."

After a while, You Qingyun led Xie Feng to the place where Yuan Xingyu was staying, and as soon as he approached, a head emerged from the grass, Yuan Xingyu exhaled, and got up and stepped forward excitedly as if he had seen a savior, and looked at the people behind him curiously, Xie Feng hurriedly introduced the two of them.

"This is Yuan Xingyu, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he is Xie Feng, the second prince of Libei."

The two nodded to each other, and Yuan Xingyu continued:

"I just saw that the prince was chased and killed by many people in black, and the guard next to the prince was also loyal, and in order to save the prince, he was shot in the back like a hedgehog."

After Yuan Xingyu finished speaking, he patted his chest with palpitations, You Qingyun's expression became a little more solemn after hearing this, and Xie Feng said:

"It seems that the prince is much worse than us, do you need to be saved?"

You Qingyun chuckled:

"How to save it, we still cross the river with mud bodhisattvas!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up, maybe there will be a man in black later."

Yuan Xingyu also stepped forward at this time and hurriedly echoed.

……

"Who are you, so bold that you dare to assassinate the crown prince of the dynasty?"

A moment later, You Qingyun and the three of them were walking on the way, when they suddenly heard a loud shout, and hurriedly searched for the source of the sound, they saw that the prince Nanxu was full of anger, covering his bleeding left arm and questioning the group of people in black.

"Prince..., we killed the prince."

The deep voice of the man in black sounded, and twenty or thirty men in black raised their swords in unison to besiege and kill.

"Stop!"

At this moment, the commander of Yulinwei led hundreds of elite horsemen, armed with bows and arrows, and fired them in unison, but no one injured the prince, and the black-clothed man was wiped out in front of him, and the dust brought up by the horse's hooves did not disperse for a long time.

"Great, help, let's get out!"

The three people who were hiding not far away, Yuan Xingyu wanted to walk over when he saw Yu Linwei, but as soon as he got up, he was pulled back by You Qingyun.

"You take off your black clothes first, otherwise you will be killed indiscriminately, and we had better not go over, if we fall into the charge of not saving the prince when we see it..."

You Qingyun's solemn expression gradually stretched, it should be much safer next, Xie Feng turned his head curiously and asked You Qingyun:

"Who are these men in black?"

"I don't know, I don't know what it has to do with the group of people in black in Tianyang Mountain? I'm sure I'll know when I go back to Beijing. ”

You Qingyun shook his head, also full of doubts.

"They're already far away, we're following behind, it's safer."

Yuan Xingyu saw the back of Yu Lin guarding the back of Prince Nanxu walking away, stood up, interrupting their conversation and contemplation.

A moment later, You Qingyun and the three of them met a pair of Yu Linwei head-on, from which they lent two horses, and Yuan Xingyu and You Qingyun shared one.

"Why not three?"

"I've got to keep you safe, in case the man in black suddenly pops up again!"

"All of them have been killed, the killer who came, I think you just want to take advantage of Miss Ben..."

"It's noisy."

Yuan Xingyu was fixed on the horse by You Qingyun's hands, chattering endlessly, and wanted to say something, but he was stunned by his palm.

Xie Feng smiled and quipped at You Qingyun:

"You Qingyun, you really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Without Yuan Xingyu to speak, the speed of the two was much faster, and they came to the entrance of the hunting ground through the dense woods, and saw that the emperor was standing between the civil and military officials with an angry face, and the second prince Nan Yu and the crown prince Nan Xu were being treated by the imperial doctor and bandaging their wounds.

"See the Emperor."

"It's okay, Qingyun, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the general."

You Qingyun and the three of them immediately bowed and saluted, and the emperor stretched out some smiles, and turned his head sideways to ask the eunuch calmly:

"How many people have not yet come out, send someone to find them as soon as possible. Leave some alive, you must find out the background of this group of people for me, and dare to assassinate the royal bloodline. ”

The eunuch bowed and replied:

"It's still being counted for the time being, Your Majesty, you go back to the palace first, and we'll deal with the rest of the matter."

The emperor nodded with a sigh, and when the eunuch was answered, he shouted and drove back to the palace, and the mighty procession set off.

"Your Highness, is there a big problem?"

"Thank you for your concern."

On the way back, You Qingyun deliberately came to Nanyu's sedan chair and asked with concern, only to see that his face was pale, lying in the spacious sedan chair, his weak voice slowly spoke, and his left chest was bandaged with a white cloth.

"Isn't it him?"

You Qingyun rode a horse and lowered his head in contemplation, not paying attention to Xie Feng also riding a horse side by side with him, seeing that he was muttering alone, he whispered in his ear:

"This assassination is not something you and I can find? Curiosity kills cats. ”
