"Boom ~ ~ ~"

An arrow was stabbed into the tree trunk behind them. The arrow was extremely powerful. They could still hear it even from half a meter away.

Both of their faces instantly turned pale. Li Qingying looked around vigilantly. The surroundings were especially quiet, so quiet that not even the sounds of birds flying could be heard.

"Why …" Li Qing Ying muttered softly. His brows were knit together even more tightly. He held the bow in his hand, and looked around.

Shangguan Qian also had a serious expression on his face as he listened carefully to the surrounding noises, but the silence around him was terrifying.

However, from this, it could be determined that the person who used the bow and arrow was an expert. Who could it be?

"Let's go!"

Li Qingying gave her a deep look and turned his horse around anxiously. The trees in the forest were all over the place, so horses wouldn't be able to help.

In his panic, Li Qing Ying didn't know where to run, so she could only randomly find a small path.

But at this moment, a faint sound came from behind them. The moment the two's breath came in, they seemed to have discovered it.

"Qian'Er, bend down …"

Just as his voice faded away, the sound of wind breaking could be heard. The two of them had their expressions changed as they quickly sat on the horses.

But they were wrong. The arrows were not aimed at them, but at the horses.

The horse howled as it charged forward like a madman. Li Qingying quickly hugged her and pressed down. He pulled on the reins tightly, but it was useless.

The winding road, the mad rampage of the horses, their clothes torn by the branches, but the horse had no intention of stopping.

Very quickly, Shangguan Qian screamed: "Li Qingying, jump the horse, quickly jump the horse!"

Li Qing Ying did not even have the time to react before he fell down while holding Shangguan Qian's hand.

A mournful cry rang out, and then with a plop, the horse fell into the river at the bottom of the mountain.

Both of them tumbled down into the underbrush, Shangguan Qian felt as if his entire body had been grinded over.

The pain was excruciating, and his clothes were in a sorry state. The tree branches had cut all sorts of Dao Children.

Although the wounds were small, they were numerous and extremely painful.

"How are you?" Li Qingying seemed to fall hard. After a long while, he finally stood up and limped to her side to help her up.

Shangguan Qian furrowed his brow, looking at his feet, "What happened to your feet?"

"I twisted it a little. It must have been the wrong place." He opened his mouth and stood up. He looked around and whispered, "Qian'Er, how are we going to go back?"

"Li Qingying, don't you think it's strange?" Shangguan Qian said passively, standing up awkwardly, "When we were attacked, there were no guards around us, it was as if we were isolated by someone."

"You mean someone was after me?" Li Qingying looked at her with a surprised expression. However, he soon noticed that something was wrong.

However, the two of them were covered in injuries, and he didn't know what the situation was or who had done it. If he went back hastily and bumped into the person who had attacked them, wouldn't he be doomed?

Li Qing Ying stood at the edge of the cliff and said with a troubled tone, "What should we do? I can't go back, can I jump into a river? "

"Don't be depressed, there will always be a way." Shangguan Qian Qian furrowed his brow. She had not expected the other party to be so strong, and so blatantly as well.

It had to be said that Li Fengyi's methods were quite ruthless. He surrounded them and did not allow anyone to enter. Enter and slowly behead them.

Shangguan Qian was a little depressed in the bottom of his heart, he had thought that he would help Li Qing Ying, but he did not expect that he would be involved in this as well.

"Why don't we go back?" Li Qingying suggested, "Don't tell me he can surround us like this?"

"Yes, he did indeed use such a method. We can't go back." Shangguan Qian spoke word by word, his face solemn, "Forget it, we won't be able to leave anyway. How about we rest for a while and wait for them to arrive before we think of a way out."

"When they come, aren't we dead as well?" Li Qing Ying laughed at himself. Qian sat down beside her. "Qian'Er, did I implicate you?"

"Yes." Shangguan Qian didn't hesitate at all, "But it was my wish. I saw two guards sneaking around earlier and then secretly following them, and I saw them aiming at you."

"Silly girl, shouldn't you have run away when encountering this kind of situation?" The corner of Li Qingying's mouth hooked up into a smile, "You can't be fond of me, right?" Otherwise, why would you help me? "

Shangguan Qian glared at him, pursing his lips. "You're thinking too much."

"But dying together can also be considered fate. It's just that I feel that I'm rather sorry for you."

"Li Qing Ying, you …" You pestered me just to get close to Li Fengyi, right? " Shangguan Qian suddenly raised his head and asked coldly, without any hesitation or embellishment, and just like that, he asked the question straightforwardly.

Li Qingying gaped in shock at the woman in front of her, then let out a hollow laugh.

"It's not good for a woman to be this smart."

Shangguan Qian'er smiled faintly. He had guessed this long ago, when Li Qing Ying had climbed over the wall to look for her.

At that time, Li Qingying definitely wasn't here to look for her, but because someone saw her, he called her name.

Moreover, Li Qingying didn't seem to be indifferent on the surface. He was unruly and unruly, and these were just his masks.

"Hehe, aren't you curious about who sent this time?"

"Who else could it be other than him? It's just that I pity you." Li Qing Ying lowered his head, a profound look in his eyes.

"Don't be so dejected, how do you know we won't be able to get out?"

Shangguan Fei'er smiled faintly. She would naturally walk straight to the bridge, she did not believe that they would die here.

"Why did you choose to marry Li Fengyi?" he said suddenly, with a note of disappointment in his voice.

"Because I'm here to …" The rest of his words stuck in his throat, as he did not say them out loud. Instead, he silently sighed.

At this moment, light footsteps came from the bushes. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was clearly heard by the two people with tensed nerves.

The two of them looked at each other, Shangguan Qian pointed to the trees at the side, carefully moving towards them.

Li Qing Ying also carefully dodged the attack, her tone carrying a hint of nervousness, "They're here!"

"Don't make a sound."

The two of them held their breaths, their hearts pounding and their nerves taut.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and the two became more and more nervous. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

"Eighth Prince, are you here? I am Qin Wu, are you there? "

"It's Qin Wu." A hint of joy appeared on Li Qing Ying's face as she immediately stood up, "I'm here."

Shangguan Qian's expression froze, he did not expect Li Qingying to answer him directly.

"You're crazy!" She grinded her teeth as she cursed, and her face was so pale that it was completely devoid of blood.

"It's Qin Wu, one of us."

Li Qing Ying excitedly asked as she walked out of the forest, "How did you find me?"

"I was in the vicinity to begin with, and when I heard the howls of the horses, I came over. Eighth prince, what happened to your foot?" Qin Wu nervously asked.

"I twisted it a bit. It's fine, did you see anyone suspicious when you came here?"

Qin Wu shook his head, his expression was somewhat astonished as he asked, "What suspicious person? "Has eighth prince met with any thieves?"

At this time, Shangguan Qian also walked out and stood behind Li Qing Ying.

"So the princess is here too." Qin Wu stared at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"Yes, I am with the eighth prince."

"Then let's hurry back. They should be getting impatient."

Right now, the sky was indeed about to turn dark. The faint yellow sunlight shone onto Qin Wu's face.

Shangguan Qian stopped Li Qing Ying who was about to follow Qin Wu, asking with a sullen face: "General Qin, did you come here because you heard the horse's wails just now?"

Qin Wu's eyes flickered as he smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that's right."

"Then how are you so sure that it is the eighth prince? I remember the first thing you said was' Eighth Prince ', right, General Qin? "

The smile on Qin Wu's face immediately vanished, and a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. With a flash of silver blade light, he stabbed towards Li Qing Ying.

Li Qingying didn't react at all and just stood there blankly.

Shangguan Qian pulled him hard, throwing a handful of dirt on Qin Wu's face as he turned and ran.

But soon after, he felt a pain on his waist, and was kicked to the ground by Qin Wu.

"Qin Wu, you …" Li Qingying endured the pain, shielding Shangguan Qian behind his, "You're actually Li Fengyi's spy?"

A trace of a mocking smile appeared on Qin Wu's face. Holding a knife in his hand, he slowly approached them, "Eighth Prince, it's not too late to find out. At least, it's better than dying without knowing anything."

"You were the one who shot the arrow, right?"

"Of course it's me." Qin Wu approached them step by step, with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Originally, I had planned to spare your life. However, it was you who did not cherish it, so you can't blame me for this."

"Qin Wu!" The Crown Prince and I have treated you well, how dare you betray us! "It doesn't matter if I die, but Shangguan Qian has to live!"

"Now, no matter who it is, you will all have to die!" With a ruthless expression on his face, Qin Wu raised his knife and stabbed it ruthlessly at Li Qing Ying.

And right at this moment, a silhouette swiftly flew over and kicked off the dagger, grabbing Qin Wu's neck.

Gedeng, a light sound rang out as Qin Wu collapsed onto the ground.

And before they could recover from their shock, they stared blankly at the already dead Qin Wu.

"It's you?" Li Qing Ying screamed, his expression strange.

The one who came to save them was none other than the little eunuch beside Ouyang Jin, Little Sheng.

"If it wasn't me, then who was it? "Who would the eighth prince like?" Little Sheng spoke faintly, his gaze falling upon Shangguan Qian. "The people outside have been cleaned up."

Shangguan Qian'er furrowed his brow. Actually, he had thought he was dead for sure just now. When she had first received Nightingale's list of names, she had seen Qin Wu's name.

He just didn't expect Li Qingying to be so stupid as to actually go out when they called him!

However, the appearance of Little Sheng was really a variable, and he appeared in such a timely manner.

"Why are you here?" Li Qingying was probably still angry at him for feeding him snacks, and his expression was warm and angry.

Little Sheng glanced at him and spoke slowly, "If it wasn't for us rushing over in time, you would only have a corpse left."

"Besides, if you're not under the princess' wing, we won't care about you!"

Li Qingying looked at Shangguan Qian in surprise. He couldn't figure out the relationship between her and the Imperial Advisor. In the morning, she seemed to be especially afraid of the Imperial Advisor.

Shangguan Qian had a solemn look on his face as he said: "Little Sheng, Eunuch. He asked you to come."

"Of course, I have ordered me to come and save you. Hurry up and go, someone will find out about this soon."

Shangguan Qian Qian glanced at Qin Wu's corpse, a strange smile on his face. He walked over and shoved something into Qin Wu's arms.

"Where did you go?" Li Qing Ying quickly asked.

"Nothing." Shangguan Qian chased after Little Sheng with big strides, a profound look in his eyes.

Of course, there was still lingering fear. It seemed that she could not be so reckless next time. If Little Sheng Zi did not appear, she would already be dead.

"Princess, this grandpa has already made arrangements. He said that if you want to protect yourself, don't interfere anymore." Little Sheng spoke in all seriousness, his expression especially solemn.

Shangguan Qian'er nodded his head repeatedly. Of course, she knew the pros and cons. If Li Fengyi found out that she had participated, she would definitely not have a good ending.

"Qian'Er knows, Qian'Er has never met Li Qing Ying, you have never met me either, do you understand?" Shangguan Qian asked.

Li Qingying was obviously a little confused, so he asked with the corner of his mouth, "What is it?"

"You were the one who was attacked. I never appeared by your side." Shangguan Qian said seriously, a serious look on his face.

"Got it."

Only after hearing Li Qing Ying's affirmation did she dare to leave, and ran in the opposite direction.

Little Sheng nodded in satisfaction as he praised, "The princess is indeed an intelligent woman, she can handle it easily."
