Chapter 134 For Her Reputation

The next moment, several long arrows tore through the sky and came roaring down from the opposite hill.

The sharp arrows brought about a fierce attack, reflecting a terrifying cold light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Murong Che's eyes narrowed and he instinctively looked sideways at the long arrow that was shot from behind him.

He unexpectedly discovered that the arrow was not aimed at him.

However, before he could do anything, Xue Youli grabbed his arm and pulled him towards her.

"There's an assassin! Protect the car!"

Upon seeing this, the guards in the camp immediately took up their shields and swords and stood tightly in front of Murong Che, protecting him completely.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The long arrows hit the shield and fell to the ground one after another.

Jiang Rushui, who was hiding behind the shield, heard the sound of the arrow being blocked and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shixue, why are you…"

She turned around to check on her daughter, but found that behind the shield were only Murong Che and Xue Youli, mother and daughter, but Ye Shixue was missing.

"Shi, where is Shixue? Where is she?" Jiang Rushui looked around behind him desperately, but still couldn't find Ye Shixue.

Xue Youli looked at her anxious expression, walked to the shield, and looked outside. "She's over there."

Jiang Rushui imitated Xue Youli's movements and carefully stuck his head out. He immediately saw Ye Xueshi running around a few feet away from the shield like a headless fly.

She was so anxious that she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my! Why did this girl go there?"

There was no other way. Ye Shixue was too scared to death. In order to avoid the arrows, she ran alone with her head down, fleeing for her life in panic.

As a result, the guard's defensive shield was missed.

At this moment, Ye Shixue looked at the long arrow shooting towards her again, and her legs went limp with fear.

She wanted to dodge, but because the hairpin on her head was too heavy, she moved slowly and stepped on the long hem of her skirt.

Ye Shixue was caught off guard, staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Fortunately, she put her hands on the ground and stabilized her body in time.

Ye Shixue was sticking her butt out, trying to get up.

At this moment, with a muffled sound of "puff", she froze and screamed, "Ah! It hurts!"

Hearing the voice, everyone poked their heads out from behind their shields and looked behind Ye Shixue.

There was a long arrow stuck straight into Ye Shixue's butt, and the arrow tip had completely penetrated her butt.

Before she could catch her breath, several more arrows shot towards her at an astonishing speed.

"Mother! Mother! Save me! Save me quickly!"

Ye Shixue was frightened and limped away, enduring the severe pain.

But after she ran for a while, she found that the arrows seemed to have eyes and were only shooting at her, without attacking anyone else.

"Help! Who can help me?"

"What's up with these arrows? Why do they shoot wherever I run?"

"Mom! Quick! Think of a solution!"

Then, everyone saw Ye Shixue walking back and forth in the open space with the long arrow on her butt.

Her face turned pale with pain and she cried and asked Jiang Rushui for help.

As Ye Shixue limped around, the arrow that had pierced her flesh rubbed against her wound again and again, soon staining the skirt around her buttocks dark red.

Jiang Ruyun looked at Ye Shixue's clothes, then turned his head to glance at his daughter. He vaguely guessed why those hidden arrows were only aimed at Ye Shixue.

However, Jiang Rushui had no idea what was going on.

She grabbed Xue Youli's sleeve, her eyes red with anxiety, "Li'er! Quick! Save your cousin!"

Her daughter had finally managed to talk to the emperor. If she died like this, what could she expect for the rest of her life?

Before she finished her words, dozens of long arrows shot towards Ye Shixue.

This time, the arrow came faster, and the arrow tip glowed with a eerie blue color.

Is the arrow poisoned?

Xue Youli noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Ye Shixue! Get down!"

Although her cousin was greedy for fame and fortune, her crime did not deserve death.

But Ye Shixue didn't have such a sharp reaction.

Xue Youli's mind was working at high speed, and he was about to pull out the sword in the guard room to save the person.

Someone was already moving faster than her.

It’s Chu Xinyue.

She heard the noise and walked out of the tent. From a distance she saw a figure dressed in gold and silver, who was frightened by the hidden arrow and ran away.

She looked at the man's clothes and felt they looked familiar.

However, at this critical moment, Chu Xinyue didn't have time to think too much. She picked up the stone at her feet with her toes and kicked it hard.

The stone flew out with a "whoosh" sound and hit Ye Shixue's back knee accurately.

"ah--!!!"

Ye Shixue screamed in pain and prostrated herself on the ground.

The poison arrows missed.

Nailed deeply into the ground.

Ye Shixue slowly raised her head and looked at the poisonous arrows that were less than ten feet away from her. She was almost scared to death.

At this time, Chu Xinyue strode towards Xue Youli, glanced at her, and after confirming that she was not injured, she asked in a low voice, "Ali, what's the situation with that woman outside? Did she rob all your jewelry?"

Xue Youli winked at her and said, "I'll tell you in detail later."

Chu Xinyue nodded, "Okay! I have good news to tell you too!"

Behind the shield, Jiang Rushui waited for a long moment, making sure that no more hidden arrows were shot at him, before rushing towards his daughter.

"Shixue, my lady, how are you?"

Ye Shixue’s experience just now could be regarded as a trip back to the gates of hell. After surviving the disaster, she hugged Jiang Rushui’s legs and lay on the ground crying, “Wuwu… Mother… I thought I would never see you again… Wuwu… Those arrows are so scary… The assassins are so scary too… Wuwuwu…”

Jiang Ruyun looked at this scene, gently tugged at Xue Youli's sleeve, and asked her in a low voice, "Li'er, tell me honestly, what is going on?"

Xue Youli had previously found out that Xue Qingyao had spent a large sum of money to hire a killer, so she took precautions in advance.

However, even with the book of secrets in hand, it is impossible to find out the exact time of the killer's action.

And it happened that at this time, Ye Shixue came to the door on her own initiative.

Xue Youli took advantage of the situation and used Ye Shixue to lure out the killer.

Now she has used the Book of Secrets to find the exact location of the killer's ambush.

"Mom, this group of killers was probably coming for me, but my cousin was wearing my clothes and was mistakenly targeted by the killers."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Ruyun guessed this was the result. After confirming the answer from her daughter, she felt mixed emotions for a moment. "Li'er, was your life in the palace so dangerous?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I can protect myself."

Xue Youli comforted Jiang Ruyun and immediately walked up to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, King Kang's people received news that the assassins are on the opposite mountain. Please send people to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible. Don't let these assassins go!"

[Her best friend and Murong Nan were attacked yesterday. I can use their relationship as an excuse to openly tell Murong Che where the assassin is.]

[The killers that Xue Qingyao hired with her own money are indeed quite capable. They must be wiped out and Xue Qingyao's money will be wasted. It makes her so sad! ]

Murong Che's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded in agreement, "I have already asked the former guard commander to lead people to search the mountain opposite. As long as there are living creatures in the mountain, no one will be able to escape."

Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue's encounter with the assassins made him realize that he had sealed off the mountain too hastily before. In order to prevent more assassins from ambushing in the mountain, he asked Xuan Ming to lead the best Dragon Shadow Guards yesterday to try to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Xue Youli was completely relieved when he heard this, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Murong Che asked the guards to disperse, looked up at Ye Shixue who was crying while hugging Jiang Rushui, and raised his eyebrows, "I will send someone to take your cousin to the hospital for treatment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Che immediately called Wang Defa over and said, "Princess Xue's cousin is injured. Take her to the female doctor for a checkup."

The part of Ye Shixue's body that was injured was rather special, so for the sake of her reputation, it would be better to let a female doctor treat her.

"I obey your command."

Soon, Wang Defa found two strong palace maids and carried Ye Shixue, who had an arrow in her buttocks, to find the female doctor.

Along the way, the area where Ye Shixue was shot by an arrow attracted many people's attention.

For the sake of her daughter's reputation, Jiang Rushui quickly took a handkerchief to cover her face.

As long as they can't see the face, they won't know who the person with the arrow in the butt is, and it shouldn't affect her daughter's marriage... right?

But her daughter had made such a disgrace in front of the emperor that there was no chance of her entering the palace.

Fortunately, the arrow in Ye Shixue's buttocks was not poisonous. After the female doctor pulled out the arrow for her, she comforted Jiang Rushui who was standing by, "Don't worry, Madam Ye, Miss Ye only had a flesh wound, not a vital part. She only needs to stay in bed for a month or two, and she will be fine."

Hearing that her daughter's injury was not serious, Jiang Rushui's heart finally settled down, "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless me, it's really the Bodhisattva's blessing!"

The female doctor bandaged Ye Shixue's wound and left the tent.

As soon as the doctor left, Ye Shixue couldn't wait to ask Jiang Rushui, "Mother, where is the emperor? I was injured, why didn't he come to see me? Doesn't he worry about me?"
