Large beasts would not only target him, Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying. If that stupid fish really did that, who knows how many people in the hunting ground would suffer. Isn't he afraid that the matter would be exposed and the Lu family would not be able to protect him?
As Yu Zizhen rode forward, he said to Chen Hushan and Fang Huaiying, "He's not crazy, but he's definitely brainless."
Chen Hushan rode his horse to catch up with Yu Zizhen, "Why are you still moving forward?"
Yu Zizhen looked back at him and Fang Huaiying, "I want to go and find out what's going on. You two don't follow me, let's go back together first."
She was going to do a mission, but there was no need for Chen Hushan and Fang Huaiying to go with her.
However, neither Chen Hushan nor Fang Huaiying was willing to leave. Chen Hushan was still brooding over Lu Yu's previous arrogance, so he wanted to find something to hold against that guy so that he would never be able to act arrogantly in front of him again. Fang Huaiying was worried about Yu Zizhen acting alone.
The two refused to leave, and Yu Zizhen couldn't give direct orders like she would to her subordinates, so she could only sigh inwardly with some regret - she had spent a lot of points to redeem these useful skills, and with so many eyes watching her, she had to be extra careful when using them.
Seeing this, the three guards immediately surrounded the three of them, especially Chen Hushan's guards, who accompanied him to protect him while continuing to persuade him to leave.
Chen Hushan just thought he was singing, and his words went in one ear and out the other, not taking his chatter to heart at all.
A group of ten people, led by Yu Zizhen, who had the "best hearing", rode their horses straight to the place where the black bear appeared.
"Bang, bang, bang..." As the distance continued to close, Chen Hushan and Fang Huaiying also heard the dull sounds coming from the front. Their faces changed slightly, and they quickly took up their bows. Chen Hushan bent the bow and put an arrow in while whispering, "It's a big one."
Yu Zizhen took the spear she carried from her horse's back and said, "Hushan, you and Huaiying will shoot arrows from the side. Each of your guards will leave one to protect you, and the other two will come with me to face the enemy head-on."
Chen Hushan's eyes widened. "No, you can't put yourself in danger! You and your female guard will join us in shooting arrows on the sidelines. The close combat will be left to the six guards we brought with us."
Yu Zizhen shook his head. "No, you have limited time to practice martial arts, and this is your first time encountering such a large beast. If there's no one to protect you, and someone takes the opportunity to hurt you, wouldn't you just become dead meat on someone else's chopping block?"
Chen Hushan and Fang Huaiying: ...Thank you so much for thinking about us!
Chen Hushan's mouth twitched slightly, "Have you forgotten that you are younger?"
Yu Zizhen shot him a look that was sincere but irritating, full of power. "How can I be the same as you? I'm at least three times more hardworking than you are, okay? I'm not bragging, but even a female guard like me can take down both you and Huaiying by herself."
Chen Hushan and Fang Huaiying: ...
Well, they were stabbed directly in the lungs.
Seeing that the black bear was less than a hundred meters away from reaching them, Chen Hushan had no time to argue with Yu Zizhen whether this division of labor was reasonable. He looked at his captain of the guards, who was also the best martial artist around him, and said, "Uncle Fan."
Captain Fan nodded, "Don't worry, sir."
Fang Huaiying also sent out his best martial artist at almost the same time, "Uncle Yong, prioritize protecting the Crown Prince of Zhenbei."
Fang Yong was one of the guards carefully selected for him by his adoptive father, Duke Weiguo. His martial arts skills were secondary. The most important thing was that he would always carry out Fang Huaiying's orders without compromise. Only by letting him protect Yu Zizhen could Fang Huaiying feel a little relieved.
Chen Hushan had sharp ears. Hearing Fang Huaiying's instructions, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Zizhen, if you can't hold on any longer, remember to shout for us to come over immediately."
"Okay." Yu Zizhen agreed readily, but he had no intention of asking Chen Hushan to come over for help later.
If she didn't want to be too shocking, she actually didn't need the two guards of Fang Huaiying and Chen Hushan.
She brought the brave and skilled Yaoguang, Feng Yuan and Lu Mingxuan, plus she also had the system plug-in. The four of them were enough to hold back a blind bear and create archery opportunities for Chen Hushan and others.
Thinking of this, Yu Zizhen was about to call Yaoguang and others to take action, but a sharp arrow suddenly shot out and went straight into the black bear's left ear.
Yu Zizhen, who had already received the system's reminder, of course knew that someone was riding a horse approaching from the left side of the black bear, but Yu Zizhen had never expected that the other party could shoot the black bear's left ear so accurately.
There was a little person in her heart staring with round eyes and shouting, "Good boy, this is really good boy."
"Hey there, it's dangerous here, hurry up and leave!" From a distance, a middle-aged man holding a bow and arrow and riding a horse shouted to Yu Zizhen and others.
While shouting, he did not forget to continue shooting arrows at the black bear on his galloping horse.
The black bear originally came straight to Yu Zizhen and the others. After all, there were a lot of delicious snacks here. It had been hungry for a long time, and now its appetite was very good, and it urgently needed a lot of delicious food to fill its stomach.
However, after being shot by several arrows by the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, the black bear, sensing the danger and being completely enraged, roared, turned around, and rushed straight towards the middle-aged man.
Yu Zizhen:!!!
Yu Zizhen didn't bother to say anything more to the man. When she saw the black bear rushing towards the middle-aged man, she immediately hung up the spear.
On horseback, Yu Zizhen took out his bow and arrow again, "Everyone, shoot arrows together!"
Without her reminder, Fang Huaiying, Chen Hushan and the two guards beside them had already quickly shot several arrows.
Like Yu Zizhen, several people who originally planned to be responsible for close combat also replaced their melee weapons at the same time Yu Zizhen picked up the bow and arrow.
Everyone shot ten arrows, although not all of them hit the black bear, but the black bear still realized from the number of arrows that these few small snacks were more threatening to it.
However, this time it did not turn around and run towards Yu Zizhen and the others, but continued to rush towards the middle-aged man, as if it was determined to treat him as a soft persimmon.
Yu Zizhen sighed and continued to urge his horse towards the black bear.
This handsome, masculine, and skilled middle-aged man who generously helped them was exactly her target this time.
He came from a family of military generals and was once one of the most famous heroes in Kyoto. However, he was unlucky that when he was of marriageable age, he was chosen by the Empress Dowager Da Lu, who was the Queen at the time, and was forced to become the son-in-law of the Empress Dowager's only daughter, the current Princess Anqing.
