Now that Jing Qi was heavily injured and Feng Ning Yan was poisoned, it was unknown if the sword that came from Shen Ling Jue's back had injured his internal organs. Under the heavy encirclement, it was already impossible for them to escape.

Feng Ningyan had never felt so sad before. Even in her past life, when she had been beaten to such a state, she hadn't felt such heartache.

As she heard the deafening waterfall behind her, sparkling tears rolled down her face. She hugged Shen Ling Jue tightly, "We agreed to share life and death together … I'm glad I'm back... "Young master …"

"Idiot …" "I said that I will protect you for the rest of your life. You must live well …"

Shen Ling Jue gently stroked her hair, looking into her eyes, wanting to deeply imprint her into his mind.

From his sleeve, he took out an arrow that had sounded out from a subordinate of the Summoning Speaker Pavilion, and stuffed it into Feng Ningyan's hands. If you jump into the river as a last resort, there is still a slim chance of survival … "

"I'll never leave you again!" Feng Ning Yan fiercely bit her lips, holding back her tears, "My father, Ah Yao, and Chu Zhao will avenge us …" "I just want to be with you, be it in this world or in the underworld …"

She knew that the Pavilion of Interpretation specialized in gathering intelligence. The killing power of the crowd was incomparable to that of these assassins. Even if they managed to arrive in time, they would only be courting death.

"Yan'Er …" Hearing her words, Shen Ling Jue felt both surprised and sad.

"Same life as a Lovers, I truly hope that Your Highness can also see the pain and confession before your death!" "Haha!"

Pei Shi laughed out loud and slowly raised his right hand.

As long as he waved his hand, the crossbow arrows would shoot towards Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan.

At this moment, a tear silently fell from the corner of Jing Qi's eyes. He used all his strength and placed his finger in his mouth, letting out a sharp and long whistle.

When Pei Shi heard this whistle, he immediately understood what Jing Qi was trying to do.

He immediately turned his head around and saw Jing Qi and Feng Ningyan's warhorses galloping over from the other side of the forest.

It was because the whistling sound meant that the master was being rescued by the enemy.

Seeing the two horses galloping over, Feng Ning Yan was both surprised and happy. "We have reinforcements …"

"Don't be happy too early!" Pei Shi laughed coldly as he pulled the trigger.

The concealed weapon struck the neck of the two war horses. Before the war horses could run any further, they crashed onto the ground like two small hills. After twitching a few times, they stopped moving.

"Pei Shi you beast!"

Feng Ning Yan was filled with hatred as she swung out her only weapon. However, before it could reach Pei Shi, it was blocked by the assassins.

Shen Ling stared at his two war horses in despair. His vision blurred as well.

Pei Shi jumped down and stood on the body of his horse. He stomped on it fiercely and said, "Let's see where else you can run to! Crossbowmen, get ready! "

The sound of a machine opening rang out as dozens of crossbow bolts were released.

Shen Ling Jue picked up the chess piece with one hand, and held onto Feng Ning Yan with the other. He shouted, "Yan'Er, hug me tight!"

As he spoke, he turned around to jump off the cliff.

Only now did Feng Ningyan understand. Just now, he had mentioned the situation of the three of them on Skeleton Island.

If he jumped into the water, he would at least be able to dodge attacks.

A sliver of survival was better than sitting still and waiting for death.

At this time, he heard a sad and long cry of a horse. It was full of fighting spirit.

Everyone looked back in surprise, only to see dust filling the sky in the forest.

From the fluttering leaves and dust, a handsome blood-colored horse galloped over. Its iron hooves stomped heavily on the killers who were blocking its way, charging towards Shen Ling Jue and company.

"Your horse!"

With a glance, Feng Ning Yan could see that the horse's stomach had been pierced through, and its intestines were flowing out. It was precisely the horse that they had seen when they had entered the forest earlier.

It was already on its last breath, but when it heard the "Master is facing an enemy and is quick to rescue" whistle, it struggled to stand. It even had the strength to rush to its master's side like a bolt of lightning.

"Well done, brother …" Shen Ling Jue's eyes were already filled with tears and dust. He carried Feng Ning Yan onto the horse's back.

"Yan'Er, follow it!"

Feng Ning Yan fearfully grabbed his hand and refused to let go. "Don't let me go …"

At this moment, Jing Qi slightly opened his eyes and saw that Shen Lingjue only allowed Feng Ning Yan to ride on the horse. He knew that the Prince was not willing to abandon him.

However, if they did not abandon him, all three of them would be killed on the spot!

Jing Qi knew that he was severely injured and it could only be a burden to them, so he pushed Shen Ling Jue away fiercely: "Your highness, Jing Qi failed in his duty … … "Let's go first!"

Shen Ling Jue felt his arm being pushed away fiercely, and his hands became empty. He subconsciously turned around to fish, but he only managed to grab a few pieces of dried up yellow leaves.

In the cold wind, Jing Qi had already fallen towards the cliff.

Blood dripped from the wound on his chest, drawing a trail of death in the air …

But on his face, there was an incredibly satisfied smile.

"Jing Cha!"

Shen Lingjue was fast and nimble as he knelt on the side of the cliff, yet he could not even touch Jing Qi's clothes …

With a smile as bright as the sun, Jingqi followed his figure, gently falling into the mist flying from the mouth of the river.

The crossbows were released in unison!

Shen Ling Jue mounted his horse and sat behind Feng Ning Yan. With a shake of the horse's reins, he shouted: "Jia!"

That steed gave a long cry and took a few steps back before leaping into the air, carrying Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan with him as they headed towards the other side of the river.

Pei Shi did not expect that Jing Que would kill himself in exchange for an opportunity for Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan to ride their horses and escape to the other side. You bunch of trash! Don't let them get away! "

A wooden arrow shot first, piercing through the horse's belly.

The horse whinnied in pain and fell heavily into the river about ten feet away from the other side.

Clenching his teeth, Pei Shi ran to the side of the river and watched the snow-white splashes in the water. He gave the order unwillingly, "Quickly go down the waterfall and search! If he is alive, I want to see him, if he is dead, I want to see his corpse! "

The killers obeyed, and swarmed down the waterfall.

The wind had stopped and Lin Jing had stopped.

Only the rushing river still roared angrily, taking away the blood, sweeping away everything …

A few days later, Shen Youhuang led her convoy back to the capital.

Shen Youhuang wore her brand-new armor as she sat on her horse, watching the officials welcome her from both sides of the road. The grand buildings of the imperial palace in the distance made her unable to help a proud smile from the corners of her lips.

After entering the capital, Shen You Huang first arranged for Hua Ruyu to bring Duan Hua Yin to the inn to rest, before entering the palace.

Inside the palace, when the emperor heard the news of Prince Cheng's triumphant return, he immediately perked up and summoned the emperor by decree.

There were several other officials and Shen Yu Su, the ruler of the Kingdom, waiting in the hall.

Shen Youhuang walked in with large strides and knelt down, saying in a clear voice, "Your son greets royal father!"

"Rise!" The emperor gave a hollow raise of his hand, allowing Shen Youhuang to stand up and report. "It has been hard on you, Prince Cheng. You have done a great deal to pacify the southern army this time. "But you said in the imperial report that King Yu and Princess Hua-Yang were enemies, just what in the world is going on?"
