Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance, Section 79
The horse was stunned for a moment - this horse has a docile temperament, and it is carefully selected layer by layer, just because she is afraid that she will startle the horse if she is not careful.
She didn't do anything, and Ning Xun was watching from the sidelines, how could the horse suddenly go crazy?
Every step after the horse was frightened tried to throw off the person on his back, constantly moving and dodging, and shuttling through the woods, several times almost throwing her off the horse.
Ning Xun clamped her with one hand and restrained the reins with the other, the speed was too fast to make people dizzy, and before she could fully react, she heard Ning Xun say in a deep voice: "Don't look up." ”
With a flick of his hand, he pushed her head down, almost crouching on the horse's back—all the while, several arrows in the woods!
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air made her face turn white for a moment.
She hugged the horse's neck tightly, not knowing whether her heart was beating too fast and the wind was blowing, or remembering the night she was dying in her previous life, her heart and lungs hurt as if they had been torn apart by life.
First send the horse back, and then design to frighten the horse, and lead the people into the dense forest, so that the archers can wait in the forest......
It was a premeditated assassination.
He closed his eyes, trying his best to calm himself down and get rid of distractions.
- At this time, she couldn't help Ning Xun with anything, let alone let him be distracted and cause trouble.
But I still trembled unconsciously.
The sound of the wind was violent, constantly pouring into her ears, the horses shuttled and brought the rustling of leaves, from time to time there was a crisp sound of branches not breaking, arrows were nailed into the ground and trees, clanging, in the chaos, she heard Ning Xun say to her in a calm voice: "Adjust your breathing, don't move, and leave the rest to me." ”
His voice was calm, and she could hear her heartbeat slow down a little.
The rain of arrows was intensive, and he didn't let her look up, and the pond really didn't move, only to hear that he seemed to stab the horse with something, and the horse neighed and rushed out.
The wind in my ears became more intense for a while.
I don't know how long it took to run before I shook the archer off a bit.
— but not far. She could also hear the footsteps of the men, and without any conversation, silently outflanked them.
There seems to be the sound of water, which is getting louder and louder.
Assassination in the hunting ground, and only the use of a bow and crossbow, it is difficult to find directional evidence even if it is checked.
These people are well-trained, and they have a mortal heart, who should raise the dead.
"Hold me tight."
As soon as Ning Xun's words fell, the chichi did not hesitate at all, immediately let go of the horse, and turned around and hugged him tightly in the bumps that could be thrown down at any time.
He reined in so suddenly that the horse was almost upright and leaned back. Ning Xun's eyes were quick, he abandoned the reins, wrapped one hand around her waist, and the other hand protected the back of her head, flipped to the side, rolled to the ground, and unloaded the strength.
There was no road ahead, and the horse neighed and turned back into the dense forest from which he had come.
The palms of your hands are sticky.
She touched the arrow feather on his back, and her pupils shrank.
Ning Xun cushioned under her, restrained and slowly exhaled.
She immediately rolled over and pulled him up, seeing his wounds in the cool moonlight.
It was a small crossbow arrow, not long, and when it was fired, it should have been blocked by a branch, and it was unloaded, so it avoided the vital point and did not pierce it.
The pool was a little at a loss for a while.
Also.
He didn't have any blade at hand, and the horse was completely uncontrollable from the fright, and even distracted to protect her.
The rain of arrows just now was so dense, and mixed with such an imperceptible little crossbow, how could he completely dodge it?
Ning Xun held her wrist that trembled slightly, "I was hit by this arrow, it's no big deal." ”
"Find a place to hide, they're coming at me, I'll lure them away."
As soon as he shook his head, he felt the hand on his wrist tighten, "They don't dare to kill me, you hide it, and when they are all gone, go and call someone." ”
In the hunting ground of spring hunting, outsiders can't enter, if it's just an injury, the saint has always been not very concerned about Ning Xun, and he turned a blind eye and passed, maybe he wouldn't be able to track it down.
But if the crown prince is assassinated, it is not of the same nature. If everyone dares to kill the prince in full view, will the next one dare to kill the monarch's father?
In the future, whoever takes over this position will be rebuked by the saints and criticized by the subjects.
This truth is understood by the pool, but she also understands that even if she can't kill it, the people behind the scenes will not let go of such a good opportunity.
Since it is an injury, where is the injury not an injury? An arrow piercing his leg or a broken arm is also a wound.
He didn't respond, but looked up and quickly glanced around.
He had just stopped because there was a river in front of him, and there was a waterfall at their feet.
Listen to the sound of the water, the water in the pool below is very deep - you should be fine if you jump to this height.
It's just that the water is very urgent, and if one is accidentally washed away, I'm afraid that he will choke to death, and the water is almost there, and he loses consciousness by the impact of the current, and he is also a death.
The river is wide, and I want to swim against the shore, which is very human.
Rank Chi looked at Ning Xun again—but if they stayed here, they wouldn't be able to get out of the way.
In fact, she is very water--talented. Jiangnan is a water town, and when she was a child, the Chi family almost didn't care whether she lived or died, she often slipped out, and for a while she was almost soaked in water - otherwise she would not have been able to save Shen Che, who was two years older than her, at the age of six.
Although she hasn't swam in the water for a few years, she has practiced dance diligently over the years, and her endurance is far beyond ordinary people, not as soft as it seems.
When she came back to life, she began to be afraid of water.
Even the water in the soup pool is afraid.
She took a deep breath and faintly heard the sound of rustling gradually coming closer.
There is no time left.
"Your Highness believes in me." Holding his hand with his backhand, he resolutely helped him to get up, and said firmly before he opened his mouth: "Hold your breath and jump down." ”
She didn't have time to explain, and the moment she heard the bowstring open, she hugged Ning Xun and jumped down from the edge of the hanging waterfall.
Almost as soon as they leaped down, a rain of arrows fell and nailed to the ground—loud but still a short distance from where they had just stood, apparently dead.
Seeing that the two of them jumped down almost as if they were dying, a group of black-clothed and masked people looked at each other, among which the leader raised his hand, and the rest immediately collected their bows and crossbows.
The man stepped forward, black-robed and masked, with a slender figure, a gilded longbow in his hand, but the quiver on his back was empty. The man squatted down where Ning Xun had stood, wiped a handful of wet mud soaked in river water on the ground, twisted it, and put it under his nose to smell it, confirming that it was mixed with blood.
Xuan even raised his hand and made a gesture, and the rest of the men in black received the order in silence, slowly retreated, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The man took two steps forward and looked down at the pool below.
The water is turbulent, and there will be no one in an instant.
The moment you sink underwater, there is silence all around.
She could feel the water go overhead, the force ripping at her, dragging her deeper.
At night, the spring is cold, and the streams and rivers in the mountains are even more cold and miserable. Even if you don't open your eyes, you know that there is no light around you.
She didn't have to take the initiative to recall it, and her body remembered similar scenes.
The back lake of the Guogong Mansion is pitch black, and the silence is so quiet that it makes people panic. Like an abyss from which it will never return, it will not fall to the end.
The feeling of near-death suffocation was overwhelming, and she even forgot for a moment how to swim in the water, without any movement, and forgot to struggle, slowly sinking to the bottom.
The heartbeat slowed down, as if it was about to stop.
But suddenly he jumped again.
She opened her eyes in the water.
Ning Xun.
Ning Xun was still waiting for her.
Can't keep him waiting too long.
The author has something to say:
Ma: I was the one who was shown affection, and I was the one who was thrown away, and I finally got it back by myself, and I was the one who was forced to go crazy, and I was the one who was stabbed. Horses' lives matter! You only care about yourself, does anyone care about horses!
Grass trampled by horses: grass (referring to itself), a plant.
A branch that was broken by a horse: ?

Chapter 68
◎ "It's true that I like His Highness. ”◎
The pool jerked out of the water.
The moonlight was hazy, and she saw Ning Xun at a glance. He seemed unconscious, and she swam past, and before he was swept away by the current, she grabbed him with a quick hand.
No matter how much the crossbow arrow in Ning Xun's heart avoided the vital point, it was still not lightly injured, and it was soaked in water, and the blood did not stop until now, and a red mark snaked out of the water.
She swam his arm around her shoulder and struggled toward the shore.
- Naturally, it didn't go so well. She ignored the difference between her and Ning Xun's body shape. When she rescued Shen Che, although she was also a child, there was still a world of difference between dragging a child and dragging an adult man.
She was able to hold Ning Xun and prevent him from sinking or being swept away by the water, and she had done her best.
Fortunately, there was no movement on it, and the people who had just ambushed them should have retreated.
But if this continues, Ning Xun's wound has been soaked in water, and he can't stop the bleeding, and after a long time, I'm afraid it will be bad.
She was swimming against the current, and the cold water could easily wash away her strength. Her fear of water is still there, especially now that all the heat in her body has been taken away by the current.
But she had no way back.
Ning Xun's state, if he is swept away by the water, he will choke to death if he is not careful.
Her heart was full of his injuries, and the low temperature around her froze her thoughts, and she had no time to fear anything, only the strong desire to take him up.
The pond led him a little bit towards the shore - occasionally he was washed back in a flash of water.
She held him to the death, not daring to relax for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, her hands and feet were numb, and her body was almost out of strength, before she pushed Ning Xun ashore.
The moment she pushed him up, her heart relaxed, her calf suddenly twitched, and she couldn't cope with it, and her whole person sank down—someone suddenly grabbed her hand before the river swallowed her.
