"Hey! Look over there, isn't that the deer His Highness the Crown Prince wanted!"
Sure enough, not far away stood a sika deer with glossy fur and a rather robust appearance.
Yao Yao drew her arrow and gave chase.
In the dark
"Ha, what a good-for-nothing prince."
Gradually, Yao Yao drifted further and further away from the crowd. The sika deer would run and stop; it would run when Yao Yao chased it and stop when it stopped.
Soon, the noise gradually subsided, and the sika deer disappeared without a trace.
Yao Yao looked around
"I wonder who you all are. You're hiding like petty scoundrels. Why don't you come out and meet us?"
A dozen or so men in black appeared in a flash, each holding a short sword that gleamed with an eerie light.
Yao Yao remained calm and asked, "Who sent you? Prince Wen? Or are you henchmen of Consort Yuan?"
The man in black knew very well that villains die from talking too much, so he ignored Yao Yao and attacked without saying a word.
Then, just as they set off, the Qilin Guards, whose numbers were several times their own, appeared around them.
This is an armored army that the original owner's maternal grandfather trained on the battlefield.
Because Yaoyao was wary of the autumn hunt, she borrowed some money from the old man to save her life. The old man naturally agreed without hesitation.
The man in black, clearly the leader, suddenly looked at Yao Yao and asked, "You knew about us all along?"
Yao Yao spread her hands innocently and said, "No, no, how would I know? I just happened to borrow some Qilin Guards to protect me and then you ran into me."
Seeing that they could not escape, the group rushed straight at Yao Yao, intending to perish together with her.
However, the Qilin Guards were faster and captured before they could even get close.
The leader's jaw was dislocated, preventing him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.
Yaoyao strolled up to him leisurely. "Now can you tell me who your master is?"
The man in black glared at Yao Yao, clearly unwilling to say anything more.
“Heh,” Yao Yao sneered, “Kill everyone except him. Take him away, and I will find a way to make him talk.”
"Yes," the Qilin Guard general clenched his fist, his eyes filled with admiration.
When the Duke asked them to protect this good-for-nothing prince, they were initially reluctant, because they were valiant and courageous warriors.
They would rather go to the battlefield than face the Crown Prince, who was rumored to treat human life like dirt.
However, it seems that the crown prince is not as incompetent as rumored.
Where is the Crown Prince?
"Maybe they ran too far while chasing the deer."
"The Crown Prince is simply showing his filial piety. Hahaha..."
Upon returning to the camp, the young masters remarked, "Ha, a bunch of fools." Mo Yun, who had dismounted nearby, overheard them and scoffed.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out ahead.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is back..."
"Why is there so much blood..."
"Ah! There's a dead body, move away..."
Mo Yun was overjoyed; could it be that it had succeeded?
With such a commotion, it was natural that the emperor would be drawn to it.
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? Come with me to take a look."
Reaching the center of the crowd, he saw the row of dead bodies and exclaimed in shock, "What's going on? How come there are so many dead people?"
Then, seeing Yao Yao standing to one side, he asked, "Your Highness, tell me, what's going on? How come there are so many dead people?"
"Father, you don't know, I just survived a great calamity."
The Emperor of Qi frowned, only then realizing that these people were dressed in the clothes of assassins.
"What...what's going on?"
"It's like this, Your Majesty. When I saw a sika deer, I naturally wanted to hunt it down for you. But who knew that the sika deer was just bait!"
