Chapter 36: Attacked
Zhongyuan brought dishes and chopsticks, and after Jiang Yuhuan and Mrs. Zhen finished fasting, Mrs. Zhen said that she still had to go to the Buddha to worship and got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Yuhuan also planned to leave, and after Sanqi and Zhongyuan had eaten, he would go down the mountain.
"Go faster, Master Kongchen only talks about Buddhism once a year, this is the easiest way for us to meet Master Kongchen, and there will be no place if we go late."
"Yes, yes, I have to fight for the top so that I can have a chance to be selected by the masters. I have to ask if my family has a rich life. ”
Jiang Yuhuan and the three of them walked down the mountain, in stark contrast to the bustling people going up the mountain.
The frequent appearance of the Dharma in their words kept drifting into Jiang Yuhuan's ears, and she thought, maybe this is a high-ranking monk, but unfortunately her confusion is not something that Buddhism can solve.
Outside the stable, the coachman was talking to the little monk watching the horses.
Seeing Jiang Yuhuan coming, he immediately stopped talking and turned around to lead the horse.
"The princess of the county."
"Have you eaten yet?"
The coachman nodded, "Yes." ”
Jiang Yuhuan looked around, "Has the horse been in your sight all the time?" ”
"That's not true, people have three urgencies, and there is always a time when you don't see it. But when I left, the little master was there. ”
When the little monk heard that he was mentioned, he looked at Jiang Yuhuan, "Yes, donor, the little monk has been watching." ”
Jiang Yuhuan bowed his head and signaled, "Okay, let's go." ”
The coachman brought a footstool, and before going up, Jiang Yuhuan deliberately glanced at the horse, but he didn't see anything before entering the carriage.
The carriage drove away a few miles from Fuhua Mountain, and Jiang Yuhuan always felt uneasy.
"Stop."
"What's the matter, princess?" Nakamoto asked.
"Sanqi, you got on the bus here today, right?"
"Yes."
When she came, Sanqi didn't get into the carriage with her, but rode back on horseback, and only got in the carriage with them when she was close to Fuhua Mountain.
Since she knew that the Ningguo Mansion was going to kill her, she had to be cautious.
She was very familiar with the fact that the horses galloped and fell off the cliffs, and she had to be wary of them.
I happened to meet Duchess Ning Guo today, and I couldn't help but wonder if they would make a move.
Although the coachman and the little monk said that no one approached the horse, she always felt unsteady in her heart.
Anyway, Sanqi rode a horse just in case, so he simply took precautions to the end.
"You call the horses out and change them."
Sanqi's horse is different from the horse of the carriage, it is spiritual and obeys the call.
Sanqi adhered to his usual style, didn't ask much, got up and got out of the car.
Zhongyuan looked at Sanqi's back and asked, "Princess Jun, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the horse?" ”
When Ning Jun made an appointment, Zhongyuan was still investigating the sad matter of Leji, and he didn't know the plans of the Ning Guo Mansion.
She was surprised and puzzled by Jiang Yuhuan's sudden move.
"I'm restless, so I want peace of mind." Jiang Yuhuan said.
"Oh."
Sanqi got out of the car, put his finger to his lips and whistled, and after a while he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
She swapped the two horses and rode the other herself.
"The princess of the county, the slave and maid are riding horses and following aside."
Jiang Yuhuan was not at ease, "What if there is a problem with this horse?" ”
"I know martial arts, and I can jump off the horse at any time."
"Well, be careful."
The carriage moved forward again, but Jiang Yuhuan did not feel at ease because of the change of horses.
She lifted a corner of the curtain and stole a look around.
Time passed with a stick of incense, and I didn't notice anything unusual.
She thought about it for herself, and was about to put down the curtain, when she suddenly heard Sanqi's voice tense, "Zhongyuan, protect the princess of the county!" ”
Immediately, a sound of breaking the air and a fierce wind swept past Jiang Yuhuan's ears.
Jiang Yuhuan fixed his eyes and saw that there was a feather arrow nailed to the carriage.
Zhongyuan opened his arms and protected Jiang Yuhuan, who was palpitating, behind him.
Suddenly, there was a muffled snort from the front, and with the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, the horse began to gallop with a neigh, upsetting Jiang Yuhuan and leaving Sanqi's anxious cry far behind.
"County ...... The princess of the county, protect yourself, and the slave and maid go to restrain the horse. ”
Nakamoto barely moved forward in a violent shaking, and she lifted the curtain, and the coachman was nowhere to be seen.
The horse ran forward frantically, seeing that there was a curve ahead, but the horse had no intention of changing direction.
She pulled back the reins, and the horse shook its head frantically, and instead of stopping for a moment, it ran faster.
Zhongyuan was powerless to stop it, so he had to take out a dagger and cut the reins immediately.
The horse lost its restraints and rushed straight towards the cliff.
The carriage lost the support of the horse and fell to the ground, and Jiang Yuhuan was knocked into the eye.
"The princess of the county!" Zhong Yuan fell to the ground and hurriedly turned around to find Jiang Yuhuan's figure.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yuhuan stretched out a hand with difficulty and grabbed it on the side of the carriage.
Zhongyuan walked over quickly and pulled her up, and Jiang Yuhuan held her waist that was injured and gasped.
"Whew! Woohoo! ”
The rain of arrows continues.
Zhongyuan hooked his body to protect Jiang Yuhuan, and the two hid in the carriage.
Jiang Yuhuan quietly stretched out his head and finally saw the situation outside.
It is surrounded by mountains on one side and cliffs on the other.
The road winds, and the hill to her left is where the arrows come from.
The mountains are so full of trees that it is impossible to see where people are hiding.
Sanqi was standing on the ground at the moment, and her horse had fallen. She slashed arrows with her sword as she approached them.
"Woohoo!"
A feather arrow was stuck diagonally at their feet, and Jiang Yuhuan pulled Zhongyuan back away.
Zhong Yuan also held a dagger in her hand, and she stood in front of Jiang Yuhuan to deal with the arrows that kept shooting.
"Zhongyuan be careful!"
Jiang Yuhuan watched several arrows come from the side, and Zhongyuan was in a hurry to deal with the arrows in front of him and had no time to take care of them.
She reached for her waist and drew her dagger, blocking the arrow.
But the dagger is a short soldier, and she is not good at it.
As soon as she blocked an arrow, it grazed the back of her hand and stabbed straight into Nakamoto's left arm.
"Zhongyuan!"
Zhongyuan's posture did not change, as if he didn't notice the pain, and he still stretched out his hand to protect Jiang Yuhuan firmly behind him.
"Princess Jun, the slave is fine."
"Let's hide!" They were now standing on a raised mountain, and if they had retreated into the recessed part, the archers would not be able to reach it.
"Good!"
Zhongyuan escorted Jiang Yuhuan to retreat, and Sanqi gradually approached.
She holds a long sword in her hand, and she can share the pressure of Zhongyuan, and Zhongyuan only needs to kill the fish that slips through the net, and they will be safe and sound.
The archers hiding in the mountains also seemed to sense their intentions, and the number of arrows gradually decreased.
The trio finally got a respite and leaned against the mountain wall to examine their injuries.
"Sanqi, help me cut off the arrows, it's troublesome."
Without saying a word, he swung his sword and cut it off, leaving only a few inches exposed.
Jiang Yuhuan looked at Zhongyuan's wound distressedly, "Did you bring medicine?" It's better to pull out the bandage now. ”
"Take it, run away first." Nakagen answered.
"It's not safe here, I'll send a signal to my master."
Sanqi touched into her arms, and suddenly her eyes were slightly condensed, and she looked up at it.
"Boom—"
A huge stone is rolling down from the top of the mountain.
"Run!" Sanqi carried Jiang Yuhuan in his hand and swept forward.
Before they had gone far, the ground suddenly shook, and a lot of gravel fell at their feet.
Zhongyuan looked at it and said solemnly: "It's not good! There are boulders all over the area! ”
As he spoke, a stone had fallen behind him, making a loud noise.
Sanqi dragged Jiang Yuhuan tightly, constantly dodging the falling stones.
The stones were piled up on the ground, and they had to stand on them.
Zhong Yuan's face condensed, "Sanqi, you are doing a good job, you take the princess of the county out!" ”
Sanqi didn't hesitate, "Okay." ”
"No way!" Stone after stone, besides, the front of them has been blocked by stones, Sanqi and her not only have to avoid falling stones, but also cross the road in front of me I don't know how long it has been blocked, and there may not be a chance to get out.
Besides, she couldn't let Zhongyuan stay alone.
Sanqi took Jiang Yuhuan to fly and kicked away a falling rock, "It's too late, the road is blocked." ”
She had already seen a long pile of stones in front of her just now, and if she wanted to take the princess out of the county, it was equivalent to climbing over a stone mountain.
If there were no falling rocks, she could, but now ...... No way.
"Ah......h
"The princess of the county!"
Jiang Yuhuan only felt that her brain was buzzing, she saw Sanqi's anxious appearance and the shape of her mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.
She felt dizzy, and even her vision became blurred.
Sanqi took her to dodge non-stop, and there were more and more stones under their feet.
No, she's going to have to come to her senses!
Sanqi and Zhongyuan were too busy dodging falling rocks to think about the way to escape. She must find a way to get them out of this predicament as soon as possible!
She bit her lip and soon tasted blood.
The pain in her lips gave her temporary lucidity, and she quickly looked around for a way out.
is also glad that there is a stone to step on, allowing her to break through the blind spot and find a way to escape.
"There's a tree there, let's go there!"
Zhong Yuan looked at Jiang Yuhuan and was surprised, "Princess Jun, that's a cliff!" ”
Jiang Yuhuan said quickly: "The cliff is better than being stoned to death, the three of us are not heavy, that tree should be able to withstand it." ”
"Listen to the princess!"
Sanqi took Jiang Yuhuan and swept towards the cliff, Zhongyuan stomped his feet, kicked away the falling stones beside him, and carried light skills to follow.
The three of them landed on the tree, and the trunk trembled.
Jiang Yuhuan hugged the branch, and his hands couldn't help shaking.
Obediently, this is a cliff!
"Whew!"
The flying arrows struck again, and without giving them time to rest, Sanqi waved his long sword to resist.
Jiang Yuhuan didn't have time to sigh, she saw the vines hanging on the cliff, gritted her teeth and said, "Zhongyuan, you are close, try if the vines are strong." ”
Zhongyuan instantly understood Jiang Yuhuan's intentions, she reached out and dragged the vine, seeing that the vine was not loose, she tried to hang the weight of her entire body on the vine, she slowly broke away from the trunk, and the whole person was suspended in the air.
Hanging steadily, she showed a surprised expression, and quickly tugged at the vine next to her.
It's not much from the trees, it's still within range.
Nakamoto checked the firmness of the vine as he moved to the side.
It wasn't until she avoided the range of the feather arrows that she shouted to Sanqi: "Sanqi, this root is also strong!" ”
Sanqi just cut off an arrow, nodded, and took Jiang Yuhuan to fly over and hang on the vine.
Jiang Yuhuan dragged another vine and tied it around his waist, "Okay, Sanqi, you let me go." ”
Sanqi carefully let her go, turned to face Zhongyuan, "I have a hidden arrow in my arms." ”
Zhongyuan understood, and reached out to take out the sleeve arrow.
Holding the vine's hand a few times to wrap the vine firmly around her hand, she placed the Hidden Arrow in her hand and pulled the valve with her other hand.
Hidden arrows erupted, bursting into the sky with red smoke.
