Chapter 171

Huo Jin just nodded lightly with an indifferent expression.

Not long after, the black bear was seriously injured and died because he could not see.

With a bang, it fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. This big guy was really troublesome.

King Huai laughed and said, "I failed to catch the sika deer, but killing a bear is not bad."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Someone said, "Your Highness, should we chase after it and see if we can find the sika deer we saw earlier?"

King Huai waved his hands and said, "You are all injured, how can we continue to chase you?"

Someone smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's just a minor injury. It's our blessing to be able to share your worries."

"Yes!" someone echoed.

King Huai smiled and looked at everyone, saying, "Even so, I would like to thank you all in advance."

"Your Highness, I don't think it's appropriate." Huo Jin said coldly: "The lunch banquet is almost here. If I go back late, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be worried."

King Huai felt upset. If it weren't for the fact that Huo Jin had just saved him, he really wanted to let Huo Jin go. The people he arranged haven't arrived yet, how can I go back now?

He raised a smile and was about to say something, but saw Huo Jin push him sideways and avoid the dart shot from the dark.

"careful!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw the dart nailed to the tree.

When the guards realized what was happening, they shouted, "There's an assassin!"

Everyone quickly drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.

"call out!"

"call out!"

A hail of arrows flew towards them.

"Everyone be careful!"

After the rain of arrows, many men in black came from all directions.

The black-clad man's gaze was clear; he was heading for King Huai.

No one expected that someone would be so bold as to assassinate Prince Huai in broad daylight.

"There's an assassin!"

King Huai looked at the man in black in front of him, whose every move was aimed at killing him, and he began to panic. This was not right. This is not the person arranged by my uncle. It is very likely that he was sent by the prince.

The guards protected King Huai loyally, but the enemy had too many people and each of them was very skilled, so it was obvious that they were all death knights.

When King Huai saw the guards around him falling one by one, his heart tightened, Prince! We are brothers after all. I didn't expect you to kill me without mercy.

Huo Jin fought hard to the side of King Huai and said in a deep voice: "We will be the rear guard, Your Highness, hurry up!"

King Huai nodded, turned around, and rode away.

When the assassins saw that he was trying to escape, they swarmed forward and attacked him, blocking his way.

When King Huai saw that the road was blocked, he gritted his teeth and spurred his horse towards the cliff.

"Chase!" shouted the leading assassin.

Soon King Huai was caught up by the assassins.

Huo Jin quickly dealt with the assassin around him and rode his horse to catch up.

The horse that King Huai was riding was hit by the assassins. The horse whimpered a few times and then fell to the ground.

King Huai also fell to the ground. Seeing the assassins raising their knives and about to stab him, he rolled over to avoid them and then swung his sword at the assassins.

Huo Jin took the opportunity to ride his horse up to him.

Upon seeing this, King Huai quickly reached out his hand to him.

Huo Jin grabbed his hand, pulled him onto the horse, and ran forward.

"Chase!"

The assassins were hot on their trail.

Not long after, Huo Jin brought King Huai to the edge of the cliff.

King Huai was shocked and said, "What should I do? There is no way forward."

Huo Jin looked around, and a bird's cry was heard in the air.

He looked up and saw Yingwu!

Yingwu lowered his altitude and slowly flew to Huo Jin's side.

Huo Jin thought for a moment, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from his wound, wrote the word "cliff", and then tied it to its feet.

"Yingwu, it's up to you!"

Yingwu flapped his wings and quickly flew into the sky.

Prince Huai's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "Huo Jin, this is... a Saker Falcon?"

Huo Jin nodded slightly. Seeing some vines on the edge of the cliff, he remembered a storybook his wife had told him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, I have a way that may help us escape the pursuers."

King Huai was delighted and asked, "What's the solution?"

Huo Jin pointed at the cliff and said coldly, "Let's jump down."

"You... Huo Jin, there is an abyss below the cliff!" King Huai thought Huo Jin might be crazy.

Huo Jin dismounted, walked to the edge of the cliff, pulled out a long vine, and tied it around his body.

He said in a cold voice, "I want to live." If anything happened to him, my grandmother and others would not be able to bear it.

King Huai heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind and knew that the pursuers were approaching. He gritted his teeth and now he could only trust Huo Jin.

When the assassins arrived, they only had time to see their horses fall off and the sound of horses neighing echoed from the cliff.

The assassins looked at each other. Those two people jumped down?

The leading assassin got off his horse and looked around. Seeing bloodstains on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, he frowned and said, "One team will search the bottom of the cliff, and the others will search the surroundings carefully. If they are alive, we must find them. If they are dead, we must find their bodies."

A little below the cliff, Huo Jin and King Huai held the sword stuck in the cliff wall with one hand and held the vines with the other. The two of them are now hanging on the half wall.

Fortunately, there were many vines on the edge of the cliff, blocking the assassins' view. Now they can only wait.

…

Luo Chaoyan, Yin Miaoshan and others were still chatting when they saw Su Yi waving his hand towards them not far away.

They looked at Yin Miaoshan teasingly.

Yin Miaoshan ignored their teasing and walked towards Su Yi.

Su Yi said: "You and Su Qian stay here. I heard that something happened to King Huai. I am worried about Huo Jin, so I am going to take people to find them."

Yin Miaoshan was startled and said, "Wait a minute!"

Having said that, she hurried back to Luo Chaoyan and repeated Su Yi's words to her exactly as they were.

Luo Chaoyan's heart tightened. She heard Huo Jin mention that he was with King Huai today, and if King Huai was assassinated, he would definitely not stand idly by.

"Su Qian, could you please ask Hero Jiang to help look for him?" This hunting ground is so big, and no one knows how Huo Jin is doing now.

Su Qian nodded.

At this time Yingwu flew down from the sky.

"Brave!"

Huo An pointed at its feet and said, "There's something tied to Yingwu's feet."

When Luo Chaoyan saw that the handkerchief tied around Yingwu's feet was the one she embroidered for Huo Jin, she hurriedly untied it and saw the two bloody words on it, her eyes slightly reddened.

She said to Yin Miaoshan, "Cousin, keep an eye on them."

Huo An was very uneasy. He tried not to cry and said, "Mother, I want to go with you."

Luo Chaoyan said with a serious expression, "Be good, mother promises you that she will definitely bring your father back."

Huo An pursed his lips and then nodded.
