The Imperial Guard looked at the back of someone's head like a fool, and at one point had the urge to beat him to death.
It took him a lot of effort to pull his thoughts back: "Do you think you can be safe if you stop me?"
A certain little black... Uh no, Yu Chixiu said coldly: "Stop you? Heh, I can crush you to death with one hand!"
Swish!
The imperial guards moved extremely fast, dodged behind Yu Chixiu, and pierced Yu Chixiu's back with a sword.
Yu Chixiu: "..."
Yu Chixiu turned his head, looked at the armor he had pierced through, and frowned in displeasure: "I like this armor very much! You've angered me!"
The Imperial Guard was taken aback.
This person...isn't he injured?
Yu Chixiu stretched his arm back, clamped his long sword with his fingertips, folded it lightly, and broke the blade.
The imperial guards immediately performed lightness kung fu and retreated ten steps away.
He came to the saddle and took down his bow and arrows.
He is best at archery, no one can survive his arrows!
He quickly drew the bow and arrow, and shot fiercely at the officer Yu Chixiu!
...
But Su Cheng went to chase the white-tailed fox, and he ran into a savage who came out from behind a big tree.
Su Cheng was so frightened that his hairs exploded, and he thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
He raised his hooves and was about to step down——
"it's me!"
The other party said in panic.
Su Cheng tightened the reins and turned sideways. After stabilizing his figure, he fixedly looked at the man who was unkempt, covered in mud, and covered in leaves almost as green as a grassland.
"Uh...Qin Jiang?"
Qin Jiang took a long breath: "It's me."
Su Cheng looked him up and down, his expression was indescribable: "How did you make yourself so virtuous? By the way, I just saw the guards next to you. He wants to kill me. Did you instigate him?"
At the end of the question, Su Cheng's expression gradually became serious.
Qin Jiang stared at him speechlessly: "If I could command the imperial guards, would I still make myself like this? I was almost killed, okay? If I hadn't run fast—"
In the middle of speaking, he stopped in time.
He must not lose face in front of Su Cheng.
"Did you jump into the cesspit?" Su Cheng asked.
"It's a mud pit!" Qin Jiang corrected.
It's not an ordinary mud pit, but a mud pit under miasma, which looks like a swamp at a glance.
That's why the Praetorian didn't jump off after him.
Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
"How did you get away?" Qin Jiang looked at Su Cheng suspiciously, he clearly remembered that the imperial guards had killed in Su Cheng's direction.
Su Cheng snorted and said, "Heh, the mere Imperial Guards, are they my opponents? I knocked him down with one punch!"
Nothing can affect my bragging!
Qin Jiang hit the nail on the head and said, "Is it the Imperial Guard who was with you who made the move? You are really lucky!"
There were two imperial guards in total, but he was assigned to the one with bad intentions.
Where in the world are there so many coincidences? It's just that someone has prepared meticulously and thoughtfully in advance.
Qin Jiang and Su Cheng knew nothing about Wei Ting's arrangement.
Qin Jiang didn't have a horse, so he wanted to snatch Su Cheng.
But before he could make a move, another wave of assassins appeared, this time not one, but a real wave.
Qin Jiang said seriously: "Su Cheng, we'd better practice dealing with them—"
Su Cheng snorted: "Treat your uncle! Keep it as a target!"
Su Cheng clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and left in the dust!
Qin Jiang was so angry that he was half dead!
The assassins who appeared were all masked, roughly counting, at least ten of them.
This is determined to kill him and Su Cheng!
Why did the other party do this?
Could it be that...the other party also wants the Qin family's military power?
Apart from this, Qin Jiang couldn't think of any other possibility.
Although Qin Canglan is still alive, he is in his twilight years. When he gets old, his heart will become fragile. If Qin Canglan loses his parent and child again at this time, he will definitely not be able to bear the blow.
The opponent was to defeat Qin Canglan and destroy the Duke Protector's Mansion.
While thinking about it, several assassins raised their long swords and greeted him, while the others chased Su Cheng with light kung fu.
He originally thought that Su Cheng was going to be stopped, but a strange scene happened.
An arrow shot from the depths of the dense forest, directly hit the heart of the leader, and shot that person down from mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, three more arrows were shot, and all the arrows were fired, and the three assassins were shot down in the air.
Qin Jiang was shocked.
In the woods...is there still an archer in ambush?
Such a precise archery... Even he can't compare it to himself.
Could it be someone from the Divine Bow Battalion? !
The companion was killed, and two more assassins chased after him, while the other followed the direction of the arrow to search for the archer hiding in the dark.
However, he didn't have a chance to see the opponent's appearance clearly, so he was shot through the head by the opponent's arrow!
Looking at the assassin who flew out and fell to the ground, dying with regret, Qin Jiang's hairs stood on end!
The Divine Bow Battalion... came out with such a ruthless archer in time?
Su Cheng ran all the way ahead, he knew someone was chasing him.
He turned around.
Huh?
one short.
Looking back, there are a few less.
When he turned back for the third time, all the assassins chasing him had disappeared.
...That's right, it's quite fascinating.
After Qin Jiang dealt with the last two assassins, he was also injured and sat on the ground panting.
Behind a vine in the distance, a cold arrow was aimed at him.
Suddenly, a hand with well-defined joints lightly pressed on the arrow.
"I can't kill him. If Qin Jiang dies, my uncle's suspicion will be great. At that time, some witnesses may come out and insist that my uncle ordered them to assassinate Qin Jiang. Your Majesty doesn't want his uncle to get military power, no matter what he does. If you prove your innocence, His Majesty will take this opportunity to convict uncle."
The bow and arrow fell slowly.
next second.
The big bow was raised abruptly, and the arrow flew away from the string, hitting Qin Jiang's thigh with a whoosh!
Qin Jiang let out a miserable scream: "Ah——"
Su Cheng, who had already walked away, looked at the startled birds in the woods: "Well, why do I seem to hear Qin Jiang screaming again?"
"Something happened to Qin Jiang, will you suspect me?"
"But there are so many of them, if they kill me together, wouldn't I have no chance of being suspected... Never mind, save my life first!"
...
At the entrance of the hunting ground, several tents were set up.
In the largest tent, Emperor Jingxuan was conducting a sand table deduction with Qin Canglan and Laohou.
This is the entertainment of Emperor Jingxuan and the generals, which is more interesting than playing chess.
Several princes, Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an watched the battle from the sidelines.
Princess Hui'an felt bored and yawned frequently.
A figure flashed past the door, and Princess Jingning winked at Taozhi beside her.
Taozhi understood, and walked out with an empty fruit plate.
Not long after, she entered the tent and whispered to Princess Jingning.
Princess Jingning said to Xiao Chonghua: "Third brother, I want to eat oranges."
Princess Hui'an snorted coldly: "You want to eat oranges and ask someone to pick them yourself, why are you calling my third brother?"
The third brother belongs to her!
Xiao Chonghua glanced at Princess Jingning calmly, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Hui'an also likes food, so I'll pick it for you."
These words sounded like they were picked for Princess Hui'an. Princess Hui'an was very useful and let go of Xiao Chonghua's arm.
Xiao Chonghua got out of the tent and saw Su Yu who seemed to be passing by.
...
"Is it for the Marquis of Zhenbei? Marquis of Zhenbei is in the sand table with my father, don't worry, I will remind him to take medicine."
After Xiao Chonghua finished speaking in a normal tone, he took the medicine bottle handed over by Su Yu.
Su Yu glanced at the guards patrolling nearby, and said in a loud voice, "His Highness Lao San is here."
After Su Yu left, a young eunuch entered the tent with snacks.
Xiao Chonghua looked at him meaningfully.
Not long after, Xiao Duye came out with an ugly expression on his face.
Seeing Xiao Chonghua at the door, Xiao Duye's expression froze slightly.
The next second, Xiao Duye smiled and said, "Third brother, why are you standing outside?"
Xiao Chonghua said warmly: "Oh, I went in after a while, why did the eldest brother come out?"
Xiao Duye's smile remained unchanged: "It's nothing, I was wondering if something would happen if Mr. Qin and Duke Hu have been in for so long, I plan to take people in to look for it."
Xiao Chonghua said in a gentle and jade-like way: "I'm with Big Brother."
"No need, third brother."
"I'm going to report to my father."
After Xiao Chonghua finished speaking, regardless of Xiao Duye's answer or not, he went into the tent.
"Father agreed."
After Xiao Chonghua came out, he said to Xiao Duye.
Xiao Duye said with a half-smile: "Then, Third Brother and I will go for a walk."
Princess Jingning came out: "Wait, I'll go too."
Xiao Duye said seriously: "Jingning, don't mess around, the forest is a hunting ground, it's very dangerous."
Princess Jingning said lightly: "I'm just going in to hunt a little rabbit, the two elder brothers won't be able to protect me, right?"
Xiao Duye's concubine mother is Concubine Yu, one level lower than Xiao Chonghua's concubine mother, currently attached to the queen.
And Concubine Yu's mother clan is not outstanding.
In short, Princess Jingning must never have an accident under Xiao Duye's nose.
Otherwise, the queen would kill Concubine Yu, and of course, anger Xiao Chonghua and Concubine Xian.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!"
Princess Hui'an is determined not to let Jing Ning take the top spot. If Jing Ning is capable, she will do it too!
Xiao Duye secretly clenched his fists.
"The concubine mother said that you can't be allowed to enter the hunting ground. Have you forgotten what happened to you when you were injured last time?"
Adhering to the principle of not taking Princess Hui'an into the forest, Xiao Chonghua coaxed his sister nicely.
Princess Jingning was not in a hurry, she waited calmly, sarcasm from time to time, telling Hui'an not to embarrass herself.
Princess Hui'an was so angry that she almost got into a fight with her.
"Third brother, you come to judge!"
"Brother, you also come to judge."
Princess Hui'an moved out Xiao Chonghua, and Princess Jingning sacrificed Xiao Duye.
After coming and going, the matter of entering the forest was delayed.
When Princess Hui'an was finally so angry that she wanted to go to Emperor Jingxuan to complain, the little eunuch at the entrance rang the gong.
This means that the riding and archery competition is over and someone has come out.
It was Su Cheng who came out.
Wearing gleaming armor and riding a tall horse, he looks like a triumphant general on the battlefield.
The afterglow of the setting sun hit his handsome face, casting a golden and cold glow.
He holds the reins tightly in his right hand, and holds a long knife in his left hand, and there is a person lying across the saddle.
When they got closer, everyone realized that it was the unconscious Qin Jiang.
Xiao Duye's eyes flashed.
Xiao Chonghua asked: "Duke Protector, what's going on?"
Su Cheng said solemnly: "It's a long story, please allow me to report it before His Majesty."
In the tent, Emperor Jingxuan summoned Su Cheng.
Su Cheng first took off the cloth bag hanging on the saddle, and showed everyone the white-tailed fox he had captured alive.
The legs of the white-tailed fox are stamped with a seal, which cannot be faked.
In this competition, Su Cheng deservedly won.
Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye were almost so excited that they burst into tears—Cheng'er defended the military power of the Qin family!
The officials were all shocked and speechless.
Su Cheng, the blood of the Qin family who grew up in the countryside, actually defeated Qin Jiang completely.
Not only is his martial arts higher than Qin Jiang's, but even his riding and archery is higher than Qin Jiang's.
There is only one art of war that has not been announced yet, but Su Cheng, who has won two sentences in a row, has already secured the victory.
What about the farmer? What about the cowherd boy? What about the country bully?
This man is clearly radiant!
"Father..."
Princess Jingning reminded Emperor Jingxuan softly.
Emperor Jingxuan regained his consciousness and collected himself. Instead of announcing the final result immediately, he asked, "What happened to Qin Jiang? Why was he injured? Did you hurt him?"
The hat is buttoned, so it shouldn't be too obvious.
Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye's expressions darkened.
Princess Jingning lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Su Cheng said without changing his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Qin Jiang was not injured by me, but by an assassin."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned and asked, "Assassin? Where did the assassin come from?"
Su Cheng sighed: "The Imperial Guard has an assassin infiltrated, the one who followed Qin Jiang. Not long after we entered the forest, he attacked Qin Jiang. Then he came to attack me again, thanks to the guard Cheng beside me who sacrificed his life." Help, I was only slightly injured."
After finishing speaking, he opened his sleeve, revealing a bloody right arm.
The expressions of Qin Canglan and Old Hou Ye changed!
After showing off, Su Cheng pulled up his sleeves, afraid of revealing his secret even if he was a second late.
Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "What about the two guards?"
Su Cheng said very sadly: "It was hard to deal with the imperial guards, but unexpectedly a group of masked assassins came, I distracted some of them, Qin Jiang dealt with two, and the rest...Cheng Shiwei and They all died together, and the body was in the woods."
Emperor Jingxuan said to Xiao Duye and Xiao Chonghua: "Go and find them."
The two replied: "Yes!"
The two led a team and followed the route suggested by Su Cheng to find everyone's bodies.
There are two wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard, one is the archer who was in the woods that night, and the other is the real Cheng guard.
In addition, there are more than a dozen corpses of men in black.
Xiao Duye looked at the corpses all over the ground in disbelief, and murmured: "How could this be..."
Xiao Chonghua looked at him puzzled: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Duye calmed down and said, "I... I said, who did it? How could this happen? Now that the body is found, let's go back quickly."

Qin Jiang corrected.It's not an ordinary mud pit, but a mud pit under miasma, which looks like a swamp at a glance.That's why the Praetorian didn't jump off after him.Otherwise, he would have died long ago."How did you get away?" Qin Jiang looked at Su Cheng suspiciously, he clearly remembered that the imperial guards had killed in Su Cheng's direction.Su Cheng snorted and said, "Heh, the mere Imperial Guards, are they my opponents? I knocked him down with one punch!"Nothing can affect my bragging!Qin Jiang hit the nail on the head and said, "Is it the Imperial Guard who was with you who made the move? You are really lucky!"There were two imperial guards in total, but he was assigned to the one with bad intentions.Where in the world are there so many coincidences? It's just that someone has prepared meticulously and thoughtfully in advance.Qin Jiang and Su Cheng knew nothing about Wei Ting's arrangement.Qin Jiang didn't have a horse, so he wanted to snatch Su Cheng.But before he could make a move, another wave of assassins appeared, this time not one, but a real wave.Qin Jiang said seriously: "Su Cheng, we'd better practice dealing with them"Su Cheng snorted: "Treat your uncle! Keep it as a target!"Su Cheng clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and left in the dust!Qin Jiang was so angry that he was half dead!The assassins who appeared were all masked, roughly counting, at least ten of them.This is determined to kill him and Su Cheng!Why did the other party do this?Could it be that...the other party also wants the Qin family's military power?Apart from this, Qin Jiang couldn't think of any other possibility.Although Qin Canglan is still alive, he is in his twilight years. When he gets old, his heart will become fragile. If Qin Canglan loses his parent and child again at this time, he will definitely not be able to bear the blow.The opponent was to defeat Qin Canglan and destroy the Duke Protector's Mansion.While thinking about it, several assassins raised their long swords and greeted him, while the others chased Su Cheng with light kung fu.He originally thought that Su Cheng was going to be stopped, but a strange scene happened.An arrow shot from the depths of the dense forest, directly hit the heart of the leader, and shot that person down from mid-air.Immediately afterwards, three more arrows were shot, and all the arrows were fired, and the three assassins were shot down in the air.Qin Jiang was shocked.In the woods...is there still an archer in ambush?Such a precise archery... Even he can't compare it to himself.Could it be someone from the Divine Bow Battalion? !The companion was killed, and two more assassins chased after him, while the other followed the direction of the arrow to search for the archer hiding in the dark.However, he didn't have a chance to see the opponent's appearance clearly, so he was shot through the head by the opponent's arrow!Looking at the assassin who flew out and fell to the ground, dying with regret, Qin Jiang's hairs stood on end!The Divine Bow Battalion... came out with such a ruthless archer in time?Su Cheng ran all the way ahead, he knew someone was chasing him.He turned around.Huh?one short.Looking back, there are a few less.When he turned back for the third time, all the assassins chasing him had disappeared....That's right, it's quite fascinating.After Qin Jiang dealt with the last two assassins, he was also injured and sat on the ground panting.Behind a vine in the distance, a cold arrow was aimed at him.Suddenly, a hand with well-defined joints lightly pressed on the arrow."I can't kill him. If Qin Jiang dies, my uncle's suspicion will be great. At that time, some witnesses may come out and insist that my uncle ordered them to assassinate Qin Jiang. Your Majesty doesn't want his uncle to get military power, no matter what he does. If you prove your innocence, His Majesty will take this opportunity to convict uncle."The bow and arrow fell slowly.next second.The big bow was raised abruptly, and the arrow flew away from the string, hitting Qin Jiang's thigh with a whoosh!Qin Jiang let out a miserable scream: "Ah"Su Cheng, who had already walked away, looked at the startled birds in the woods: "Well, why do I seem to hear Qin Jiang screaming again?""Something happened to Qin Jiang, will you suspect me?""But there are so many of them, if they kill me together, wouldn't I have no chance of being suspected... Never mind, save my life first!"...At the entrance of the hunting ground, several tents were set up.In the largest tent, Emperor Jingxuan was conducting a sand table deduction with Qin Canglan and Laohou.This is the entertainment of Emperor Jingxuan and the generals, which is more interesting than playing chess.Several princes, Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an watched the battle from the sidelines.Princess Hui'an felt bored and yawned frequently.A figure flashed past the door, and Princess Jingning winked at Taozhi beside her.Taozhi understood, and walked out with an empty fruit plate.Not long after, she entered the tent and whispered to Princess Jingning.Princess Jingning said to Xiao Chonghua: "Third brother, I want to eat oranges."Princess Hui'an snorted coldly: "You want to eat oranges and ask someone to pick them yourself, why are you calling my third brother?"The third brother belongs to her!Xiao Chonghua glanced at Princess Jingning calmly, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Hui'an also likes food, so I'll pick it for you."These words sounded like they were picked for Princess Hui'an. Princess Hui'an was very useful and let go of Xiao Chonghua's arm.Xiao Chonghua got out of the tent and saw Su Yu who seemed to be passing by...."Is it for the Marquis of Zhenbei? Marquis of Zhenbei is in the sand table with my father, don't worry, I will remind him to take medicine."After Xiao Chonghua finished speaking in a normal tone, he took the medicine bottle handed over by Su Yu.Su Yu glanced at the guards patrolling nearby, and said in a loud voice, "His Highness Lao San is here."After Su Yu left, a young eunuch entered the tent with snacks.Xiao Chonghua looked at him meaningfully.Not long after, Xiao Duye came out with an ugly expression on his face.Seeing Xiao Chonghua at the door, Xiao Duye's expression froze slightly.The next second, Xiao Duye smiled and said, "Third brother, why are you standing outside?"Xiao Chonghua said warmly: "Oh, I went in after a while, why did the eldest brother come out?"Xiao Duye's smile remained unchanged: "It's nothing, I was wondering if something would happen if Mr. Qin and Duke Hu have been in for so long, I plan to take people in to look for it."Xiao Chonghua said in a gentle and jade-like way: "I'm with Big Brother.""No need, third brother.""I'm going to report to my father."After Xiao Chonghua finished speaking, regardless of Xiao Duye's answer or not, he went into the tent."Father agreed."After Xiao Chonghua came out, he said to Xiao Duye.Xiao Duye said with a half-smile: "Then, Third Brother and I will go for a walk."Princess Jingning came out: "Wait, I'll go too."Xiao Duye said seriously: "Jingning, don't mess around, the forest is a hunting ground, it's very dangerous."Princess Jingning said lightly: "I'm just going in to hunt a little rabbit, the two elder brothers won't be able to protect me, right?"Xiao Duye's concubine mother is Concubine Yu, one level lower than Xiao Chonghua's concubine mother, currently attached to the queen.And Concubine Yu's mother clan is not outstanding.In short, Princess Jingning must never have an accident under Xiao Duye's nose.Otherwise, the queen would kill Concubine Yu, and of course, anger Xiao Chonghua and Concubine Xian."I'm going too, I'm going too!"Princess Hui'an is determined not to let Jing Ning take the top spot. If Jing Ning is capable, she will do it too!Xiao Duye secretly clenched his fists."The concubine mother said that you can't be allowed to enter the hunting ground. Have you forgotten what happened to you when you were injured last time?"Adhering to the principle of not taking Princess Hui'an into the forest, Xiao Chonghua coaxed his sister nicely.Princess Jingning was not in a hurry, she waited calmly, sarcasm from time to time, telling Hui'an not to embarrass herself.Princess Hui'an was so angry that she almost got into a fight with her."Third brother, you come to judge!""Brother, you also come to judge."Princess Hui'an moved out Xiao Chonghua, and Princess Jingning sacrificed Xiao Duye.After coming and going, the matter of entering the forest was delayed.When Princess Hui'an was finally so angry that she wanted to go to Emperor Jingxuan to complain, the little eunuch at the entrance rang the gong.This means that the riding and archery competition is over and someone has come out.It was Su Cheng who came out.Wearing gleaming armor and riding a tall horse, he looks like a triumphant general on the battlefield.The afterglow of the setting sun hit his handsome face, casting a golden and cold glow.He holds the reins tightly in his right hand, and holds a long knife in his left hand, and there is a person lying across the saddle.When they got closer, everyone realized that it was the unconscious Qin Jiang.Xiao Duye's eyes flashed.Xiao Chonghua asked: "Duke Protector, what's going on?"Su Cheng said solemnly: "It's a long story, please allow me to report it before His Majesty."In the tent, Emperor Jingxuan summoned Su Cheng.Su Cheng first took off the cloth bag hanging on the saddle, and showed everyone the white-tailed fox he had captured alive.The legs of the white-tailed fox are stamped with a seal, which cannot be faked.In this competition, Su Cheng deservedly won.Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye were almost so excited that they burst into tearsCheng'er defended the military power of the Qin family!The officials were all shocked and speechless.Su Cheng, the blood of the Qin family who grew up in the countryside, actually defeated Qin Jiang completely.Not only is his martial arts higher than Qin Jiang's, but even his riding and archery is higher than Qin Jiang's.There is only one art of war that has not been announced yet, but Su Cheng, who has won two sentences in a row, has already secured the victory.What about the farmer? What about the cowherd boy? What about the country bully?This man is clearly radiant!"Father..."Princess Jingning reminded Emperor Jingxuan softly.Emperor Jingxuan regained his consciousness and collected himself. Instead of announcing the final result immediately, he asked, "What happened to Qin Jiang? Why was he injured? Did you hurt him?"The hat is buttoned, so it shouldn't be too obvious.Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye's expressions darkened.Princess Jingning lowered her eyes and said nothing.Su Cheng said without changing his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Qin Jiang was not injured by me, but by an assassin."Emperor Jingxuan frowned and asked, "Assassin? Where did the assassin come from?"Su Cheng sighed: "The Imperial Guard has an assassin infiltrated, the one who followed Qin Jiang. Not long after we entered the forest, he attacked Qin Jiang. Then he came to attack me again, thanks to the guard Cheng beside me who sacrificed his life." Help, I was only slightly injured."After finishing speaking, he opened his sleeve, revealing a bloody right arm.The expressions of Qin Canglan and Old Hou Ye changed!After showing off, Su Cheng pulled up his sleeves, afraid of revealing his secret even if he was a second late.Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "What about the two guards?"Su Cheng said very sadly: "It was hard to deal with the imperial guards, but unexpectedly a group of masked assassins came, I distracted some of them, Qin Jiang dealt with two, and the rest...Cheng Shiwei and They all died together, and the body was in the woods."Emperor Jingxuan said to Xiao Duye and Xiao Chonghua: "Go and find them."The two replied: "Yes!"The two led a team and followed the route suggested by Su Cheng to find everyone's bodies.There are two wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard, one is the archer who was in the woods that night, and the other is the real Cheng guard.In addition, there are more than a dozen corpses of men in black.Xiao Duye looked at the corpses all over the ground in disbelief, and murmured: "How could this be..."Xiao Chonghua looked at him puzzled: "Brother, what are you talking about?"Xiao Duye calmed down and said, "I... I said, who did it? How could this happen? Now that the body is found, let's go back quickly."Off Topicfat chapter7017k
