This person hasn't spoken a word since entering the woods. Somehow, Qin Jiang vaguely felt that the other person's eyes were a little too cold.

But when he thought of the other party's identity and responsibilities, Qin Jiang felt relieved.

To put it bluntly, Qin Jiang has been protected too well by Qin Canglan and the old marquis over the years. He has learned some skills, but lacks the instinct to detect crisis.

Su Cheng crawled out from a pile of dead bodies during a famine. At that time, the craziest thing was to eat one's own children, but he was no one's son, so there was no need to eat him. If he was caught, he would be dead.

In order to survive, he had to develop a beast-like crisis instinct.

He may not be able to tell who has bad intentions towards him, but he can sense it.

There's something wrong with this guard.

"Haha, isn't that why you are so annoying?"

Qin Jiang responded sarcastically.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's better to be annoying than to be useless. So, is it that the effect of the medicine from yesterday is still in your body and you haven't cleared it out? So you don't even have the strength to hunt today?"

When this was mentioned, Qin Jiang's face quickly darkened.

He was forced to use a hidden weapon on the field, but instead of hurting Su Cheng, Su Cheng snatched the weapon away and hurt him.

In front of so many people, I lost all my face!

Qin Jiang's hatred and jealousy towards Su Cheng had reached its peak. If it weren't for the two guards guarding him, Qin Jiang would have had a life-and-death duel with Su Cheng on the spot.

Su Cheng didn't take Qin Jiang's words to heart. Although he held grudges, he would not be easily angered by a few words.

What he cared more about was the guard beside Qin Jiang.

Su Cheng took out the dagger that his daughter asked Su Qi to give him, played with it in his hand for a while, and then put it back into the sheath at his waist.

He was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, a white shadow whizzed by not far away, at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in a flash.

Su Cheng turned his head sharply and just saw a white tail disappear into the grass.

It's that white-tailed fox!

To be honest, this white-tailed fox doesn't match its name at all. It is completely white with only a little red on the tip of its tail.

Su Cheng felt that it would be more appropriate to call it a white fox or a red-tailed fox.

This is my mission today. If I can accomplish it, I will be able to defeat Qin Jiang.

He jumped onto the horse swiftly.

Qin Jiang also discovered the prey, so he quickly mounted his horse and chased the white-tailed fox.

Qin Jiang has experience in hunting, and he is confident that he can catch the white-tailed fox before Su Cheng.

However, what he never expected was that Su Cheng's horse suddenly rushed towards his horse!

His horse was frightened and raised its front hooves and turned to the side!

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth and pulled the reins.

Although he managed to pull him in time, he was thrown away by Su Cheng due to the short delay.

Qin Jiang looked at Su Cheng's back as he rode away on his horse, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

If he was not mistaken, the horse just now... was Qin Canglan's mount!

Qin Canglan! I've been his son for twenty years, but I've never ridden his mount! Su Cheng has only been back for a month, and he gave the mount to Su Cheng!

Why! They are both Qin Canglan's sons, why is Qin Canglan so partial to him!

He hates!

Not only did he hate Su Cheng, he also hated Qin Canglan! In fact, he hated Qin Canglan even more! He wanted to gain military power, to trample Su Cheng under his feet, and to let Qin Canglan open his eyes and see what the fate of his biased son was in the end! He would not let any of them have an easy life!

Qin Jiang, with a raging rage in his heart, rode his horse and took a shortcut to chase after Su Cheng.

What's the use of having the mount given by Qin Canglan? Su Cheng's riding skills are not as good as his, and his familiarity with the terrain is not as good as his -

The guards behind him looked coldly at Qin Jiang and Su Cheng who were going deep into the forest, and got on their horses expressionlessly. - "Look! There are horse hoof prints here."

Su Qi pointed to a patch of wet soil under a big tree and said, "Why do the footprints seem to go in different directions? One is heading south, and the other is heading southeast. Which one is my uncle's?"

Su Cheng was the cousin of these brothers, but the brothers all removed the courtesy name without any prior agreement.

"Southeast." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"How do you know?" Su Qi asked puzzledly.

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the horseshoe prints on the soil and said, "There are a few horseshoe prints here that are the deepest."

Su Qi suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand. The horse my uncle rode today was my great-uncle's horse. That horse is stronger than ordinary horses, and its hoof prints are the deepest."

This little cousin is very observant.

Su Qi said: "From the horseshoe prints, the two teams have separated. Uncle is safe for the time being."

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, "No, it would be disadvantageous if we were separated."

When the four of them were together, it would be inconvenient for the archers to attack, but if they were separated, they could kill Qin Jiang first, then Su Cheng and the other companion...

Or there is the worst possibility - the two guards are in the same group.

In that case, Su Cheng would really be no match for four hands with just two punches.

After listening to Su Xiaoxiao's analysis, Su Qi felt a chill down his spine.

Yes, the Royal Guards are under the jurisdiction of the eldest prince. If he can place one confidant in the army, he can naturally place a second one as well.

Su Qi had hoped that Qin Jiang would die earlier, but now he hoped that Qin Jiang could live, at least to help his uncle bear some of the damage, otherwise it would be too much for his uncle to bear two against one! He frowned and said, "Let's go! Hurry up and catch up!"

On the other side, Su Cheng caught up with the white-tailed fox, but the white-tailed fox was extremely cunning. Su Cheng almost caught it several times, but it escaped from his hands every time.

Qin Jiang was actually not far away, he could hear the movements of Su Cheng and the other guard.

Qin Jiang felt that the guards behind him were getting farther and farther away. He turned around and said, "Don't follow if you can't catch up! I'll meet you here later!"

The other person's hand subconsciously went to his waist: "Got it."

Qin Jiang turned his head.

Is it an illusion?

That person just now... was holding a bow?

Qin Jiang rode his horse a few steps and looked back again suspiciously, but unexpectedly, there was no guard on the horse.

Qin Jiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The next second, a dark shadow loomed.

He looked up and saw the guards appear on the branches above him.

When did the other party perform Qinggong? I didn't even notice it! Wait, this is not the point. The point is why the other party wanted to -

The guards held long swords and stabbed Qin Jiang's Baihui point on the top of his head!

Qin Jiang rolled over and fell off his horse.

The Royal Guard's sword pierced Qin Jiang's mount, and the mount let out a painful roar.

Su Cheng frowned oddly.

What happened? Why did he hear... the screams of horses?

Qin Jiang knew that Su Cheng was not far away. After falling to the ground, he was about to call Su Cheng, but the other party moved too quickly and kicked him in the mute point!

"Oops! The prey escaped!"

The moment Su Cheng was distracted, the little thing crawled into the grass again.

Should we go after the prey or go to see Qin Jiang? Is that guy safe?

If something goes wrong, will it be blamed on him?

Su Cheng didn't care whether Qin Jiang lived or died, but he couldn't let Qin Jiang's death affect his own performance.

Su Cheng is usually loud and heartless, but when it comes to serious matters, he has his own judgment.

He thought about it and decided to go and see Qin Jiang first.

As soon as he tightened the reins and turned around, the guards beside him also moved.

The guards followed Su Cheng silently, and a big hand quietly reached for the dagger at his waist.

"You——" Su Cheng turned around.

The imperial guards shot the flying knives in their hands towards Su Cheng!

Su Cheng's eyebrows jumped! However, the flying knife did not hit Su Cheng, but flew past Su Cheng's head and shot straight at another guard who was holding a sword and was coming to kill Su Cheng!

Clang! The opponent blocked the flying knife with his long sword, but because of this action, he missed the best opportunity to assassinate Su Cheng.

"Oh shit!" Su Chenghu's body trembled, and he realized that he was almost killed.

He hurriedly spurred his horse a few steps and drew the big knife from the saddle.

The guard who assassinated Su Cheng flipped several times in the air and landed steadily on the open space in front of the two of them.

Su Cheng looked at him, then at the guards beside him. It was this guy who saved him just now.

"What's going on?" he asked.

The guard beside him said calmly: "You go ahead and chase your prey. Leave this to me. Don't worry—"

Su Cheng rode away on his horse! A certain guard: "..."

A certain guard finished his words with a look of death: "Heart, I."

Another guard watched Su Cheng walk away, his face darkened, and he looked at his companion: "You are not Guard Cheng, who are you?"

Someone sneered, raised the corner of his lips, adjusted the human skin mask on his face, drew out his sword, turned around and slapped him on the back of his head, and said in an extremely arrogant manner -

"How can you, mere mortals, be worthy of asking God's name!"

Imperial Guards: “…”

This person might be seriously ill!

Hahaha, who is this! Have you guessed it?
