The prince ran out, and the assassin behind him was tripped up and did not immediately chase after him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was also thinking about who had done it.
As he fled, he failed to notice a dark figure lurking in the trees he passed.
Whoosh! Another arrow pierced the sky and flew through the air. The Crown Prince had nowhere to dodge, so he ducked forward, and the arrow went astray and pierced Yinreng's calf.
"Hmm!" Yinreng grunted, but didn't speak. His heart sank; there were still assassins lying in ambush.
He didn't know how many people were hiding in the shadows. His guards were almost all gone, and if there were too many people hiding, he wouldn't be able to resist.
"Your Highness, you are injured!" The guard beside him exclaimed in surprise when Yinreng was injured.
Yinreng shook his head, indicating that he was alright and that everyone should not worry about him and should run away quickly.
With a sense of unease, everyone ran quickly outside, glancing warily around for fear that more arrows might appear.
As soon as it happened, another sound rang out, and a sharp arrow flew in. Everyone was prepared, and the arrow was blocked without harming anyone.
The arrows weren't flying fast, and just when everyone thought there was only one person, three arrows flew in quick succession.
Oh no, there's more than one person hiding in the shadows, everyone thought the same thing.

The excellent terrain makes it easy for assassins to run fast and far.
Several more arrows were shot down, but this time the arrows hit not the man, but the horse.
Yinreng was riding his horse when it was hit by an arrow. Stimulated by the pain, the horse neighed twice and began to go mad.
Yinreng tried his best to grab the reins and calm the horse, but to no avail. In the end, he was thrown off by the frenzied horse and fell heavily to the ground.
Yinreng already had a leg injury, and this fall made his injury even worse, causing him excruciating pain all over his body.
When the prince fell to the ground, the other guards quickly dismounted. One of them checked the prince's injuries, while the others protected him.
This is what the pursuers saw when they arrived.
Seeing this, Yinreng clenched his fists, feeling somewhat unwilling. Was he, the Crown Prince of the Great Qing, going to perish here today?
