Chapter 121: Earth-shaking Changes
Blue sky, yellow leaves on the ground. Autumn colors on the waves, cold green smoke on the waves.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, strolling along the way and enjoying the scenery. After about a quarter of an hour, they stopped by a lake and began to prepare lunch.
The outings of ancient people are not much different from those of modern people. It seems that they always have to have a meal outside to make the trip worthwhile.
Ordinary families might bring their own food, but given Ning Qingyu's status, he naturally had to use local ingredients to prepare a meal of wild game.
Several guards were sent to the mountains to hunt some rabbits and pheasants, while Wei Changtian followed Ning Qingyu to the lake to fish.
Wei Changtian's experience in this regard was limited to fishing for goldfish in the park in his previous life, so he didn't have any expectations of whether he could catch a fish. After casting the rod, he began to look around boredly.
I have to say, the scenery is really nice.
There is a vertical cliff on the mountain side of the small lake. After the water falls down, it disperses into white mist in the lake, forming a beautiful small waterfall.
If you look closely, you can see several long gray fish swimming bravely upstream along the waterfall.
What a touching scene!
Most fish migrate for the purpose of reproduction. Even a fish can do this to give birth to a child. As a human being, how can I be "behind" the fish in terms of reproduction desire! Wei Changtian sighed in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuke who were also fishing by the lake.
The former was hugging his knees and stealing glances at himself, and didn't even notice that the fishing rod had been dragged away by the fish.
In comparison, the latter is more like someone who is really fishing. He keeps looking at the lake very seriously, but unfortunately no fish takes the bait.
Is this what they mean by "planting flowers with care but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident and they grow into a shade"?
He shook his head and looked away, but his fishing rod remained motionless.
Should I use my internal energy to fry the fish? Wei Changtian was almost out of patience, and at this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake not far away, and then a big fish jumped out of the water.
Ning Qingyu caught a fish.
"Hahaha! Great!"
This prince was easily satisfied. He was so happy just by catching one fish that he immediately stood up and started to reel in his rod.
Although he was sick, he had no problem catching a fish. After some effort, he dragged the big fish very close to the shore.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the big fish. However, in this fleeting moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the forest.
The arrow's tip must have been specially processed, so that it did not make any sound. It went straight to Ning Qingyu's back like a silent black lightning.
"Your Majesty!!!"
A sudden scream exploded in the air, probably from a guard.
If he could run as fast as sound, he might be able to block the arrow.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t reach “supersonic speed”, so the arrow went straight into Ning Qingyu’s head without any obstruction, and he didn’t even know what was happening.
"father!!"
“Your Majesty!!”
“Plop!”
Amidst a cry of terror, Ning Qingyu plunged headfirst into the lake, instantly splashing huge amounts of water.
Except for a few well-trained guards who had already drawn their swords, everyone else stood there in a daze, staring at the rippling waves with wide eyes without moving a muscle.
A prince, just died like this?
The scene fell into a very brief but fearful silence for a moment.
Until a black shadow suddenly shot towards the place where Ning Qingyu fell into the water.
"He's not dead!! I'm going to save him!!!"
"Everyone else, leave the forest immediately!!"
The black shadow was naturally Wei Changtian, and he did not say this casually.
Although he didn't notice the arrow when it came, he saw clearly the scene of Ning Qingyu being shot.
The arrow didn't even penetrate Ning Qingyu's body. It must have been blocked by something! This is not surprising. After all, how could a prince not have something to save his life?
“Plop!”
Wei Changtian dived into the water and grabbed Ning Qingyu, who had not yet sunk too deep, and rushed out of the water again almost instantly.
When he finished all this, the others were still standing there in a daze, obviously they had not yet come to their senses.
Damn! Wei Changtian was so impatient that he even yelled out Chinese curses.
"Fuck you! Run! Are you all waiting to be killed by the assassin?!"
"call out!"
As if to verify the correctness of his words, a sharp scream rang through everyone's ears almost at the same time, and then it became a continuous scream.
"Swish! Swish, swish, swish!"
Nearly a hundred sharp arrows broke through the air again, instantly covering everyone.
I am really impressed!!
Wei Changtian didn't have time to think about it. He held the unconscious Ning Qingyu in one hand, drew his sword with the other, and ran straight to Ning Yuke who was closest to him.
In this life-and-death situation, there is no time to pick and choose, just save whoever you can.
“Ding! Ding ding ding!”
The sword came out of its sheath with a dragon roar, and the sword shadow swept away a group of arrows like an umbrella.
The guards finally reacted at this time and rushed towards Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling to block the second round of attacks for them.
The important people were saved, but the others... "Ah!!"
"Princess, save me!"
"I, I don't want to die!!"
“Puff, puff!”
The shrill and desperate wails came and went quickly.
More than a dozen servants, retainers, and maids who came with them were shot like hedgehogs in an instant. In the blink of an eye, they all died at the foot of the beautiful Nanshan Mountain.
However, the few people who survived by chance had no time to feel sad for them.
Because in the next moment, perhaps feeling that the bows and crossbows were no longer effective, the assassin finally emerged from the forest.
Yellow clothes, white sword, and mask.
Nearly a hundred people suddenly appeared like a swarm of locusts. Apart from their different heights, weights and body shapes, at first glance there was no sign of any identity.
They didn't say anything, nor did they yell. After coming out of the forest, they immediately surrounded Wei Changtian and his men and rushed over to kill them.
The three women's faces turned pale in an instant, and five or six guards subconsciously took a step back.
Only Wei Changtian calmed down at this time. He thought for less than a breath before shouting in a deep voice: "Quick! Get to my carriage!!"
carriage?
No one knew why Wei Changtian did this, but this time no one hesitated.
The guards immediately picked up Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling and ran towards the carriage, while Wei Changtian followed closely with Ning Qingyu in his left hand and Ning Yuke in his right hand.
"Don't just stand there! Throw the man into the carriage!"
Rushing to his carriage, Wei Changtian shouted as he threw Ning Qingyu and Ning Yuke into the axle first, and then pushed Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling in.
This was the only solution he could think of.
Although the carriage looks nothing special, it actually has a three-inch thick layer of Immortal Locking Stone inside, making it a riot-proof carriage.
The three-inch Immortal Locking Stone, if there is no master above the third rank among this group of assassins, it will take at least an incense stick of time to break it.
The secret sentries who were capable of protecting themselves arrived.
The plan is good, but there is still a problem.
The car is very solid, but it has doors.
Then naturally someone has to guard the car door.
“.”
Looking up at the yellow-clad assassins approaching rapidly from all directions, Wei Changtian turned around, slammed the car door shut, and asked the guards in a deep voice.
"Guard the door, and the people inside will survive!"
"Are you going to defend it or not?!"
“.”
The guards were stunned for a moment, then they gritted their teeth and shouted in unison: "We will swear to be loyal to the prince until death!!"
"good!"
Wei Changtian pulled out the Dragon Roar with a "clang" and took a deep breath.
"I'm with you!!"
