Chapter 23 His Highness is Missing
"Pei Wuyou!" The girl's light voice called Pei Wuyou back to his sight.
It sounds so nice when my sister calls my name. She always pays attention to me like this.
"Mr. Chen, you'd better stay with Mansheng, otherwise it would be so boring for Mansheng to be alone. No more talking, let's go. Manman, you have to cheer up, go!" Ling Qingyan rode away.
Pei Wuyou and Han Qi also followed behind.
"Sister, there is a wild rabbit over there. Can you shoot it? If you can't shoot it, I can help you." Pei Wuyou is very good at riding and shooting.
The rabbit was not very close to him. It seemed that it was stopping to eat its food. Although it did not move, this distance required a lot of skill from the archer.
"No need." Ling Qingyan's eyes were sharp and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She wanted to get rid of these two people.
One is one of the male protagonists she wants to capture, and the other is the guard left to her by the prince.
It was very inconvenient for her to take these two people to rescue Ling Yu.
Ling Qingyan was dressed in a red dress as dazzling as the sunset, with her ponytail tied high, a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind, and her expression was sharp. The Lihuo bow given by the prince was fully drawn. The beautiful bow and the beautiful person formed the most moving picture in this spring forest.
The girl's strength is unknown, but her posture and expression are very bold.
“Whoosh—”
Pei Wuyou's eyes flashed with surprise.
Probably hit it.
"You go and take a look." Ling Qingyan said to Pei Wuyou.
"Okay, sister." This arrangement was exactly what Pei Wuyou wanted.
Pei Wuyou got off his horse and walked towards the distant mountains and forests.
Just after Pei Wuyou left, Ling Qingyan pulled out another arrow and shot it at another place. It was a deer, which was farther away than Pei Wuyou's rabbit.
Even Han Qi didn't expect Ling Qingyan's archery skills to be so good. She didn't look like a beginner who had only learned for a few days.
"Go and get it back to me quickly, don't let anyone else pick it up." Ling Qingyan ordered Han Qi.
Han Qi obeyed the order and left Ling Qingyan to pick up the prince's prey.
Pei Wuyou was ordered to pick up rabbits, but of course he didn't just pick up rabbits.
He walked slowly to the rabbit shot by His Highness, picked it up, and slowly touched its white and smooth fur. The rabbit was not dead, but dying. He looked at the wound on the rabbit, his eyes deep and dim.
"Being killed by someone as wonderful as my sister must be the best fate for a rabbit."
"Master." A man in black appeared from behind a tree in the forest.
"Is everything done?" Pei Wuyou just stroked the rabbit, and his hands were stained with blood. He didn't react much and was in a good mood.
"It's done. Prince Yong will definitely not leave Qingluan Mountain today."
"It's such an auspicious day, let's get rid of the brother and sister from Duke Chen's Mansion. They're an eyesore." The disgust in Pei Wuyou's eyes was obvious when he mentioned these two people.
The secret guards seemed to be accustomed to such a master, so they didn't ask too many questions and just did their job.
"Yes, Master."
The secret guard was always alert to see if anyone was approaching. When his eyes swept over the place where his master came from, the look in his eyes paused.
"master……"
"What else?"
"His Highness Tang Ning seems to have disappeared."
*
Ling Qingyan rode alone on horseback and headed towards the location the system had previously informed her of.
There were bloodstains and signs of a fight on the ground.
Ling Qingyan kept going.
Following the traces, we arrived at the top of a mountain.
The man I met at the banquet was now fighting with five or six masters. He had several wounds on his body and was at a disadvantage.
Ling Qingyan's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Now that she no longer has a system, she truly exists in this world. When a person dies, he is dead, and life is fragile.
She drew her bow and shot at one of the assassins.
Other people's lives are fragile, and her life is equally fragile.
Her hands holding the bow and arrow were shaking violently.
The assassin she shot fell to the ground, and she didn't know whether he was dead or unconscious.
The other assassins noticed her, and Ling Yu naturally noticed her as well.
The girl was dressed in a fiery red dress, with a beautiful face and eyes that shimmered like spring water. She sat high on her horse against the light, overcoming the fear in her heart and shooting an arrow.
However, the girl reacted very quickly. She ignored the turbulent emotions in her heart and almost jumped off the horse at the moment when no one could react. She used all her strength to grab Ling Yu and pulled him off the cliff together.
Ling Yu didn't even have time to react before she jumped down.
There are many vines growing on the cliff.
The imagined pain did not come.
Instead, it landed steadily on a flat ground.
There was a cliff cave hidden under the vines. Ling Qingyan knew about it in advance, otherwise he would not dare to jump off the cliff even if he had ten times the courage.
Although I landed safely, it was still thrilling when I think back on it.
Now that she has safely fallen into the cliff cave and survived the disaster, her heart is still not at peace.
My hands couldn't stop shaking.
She couldn't immediately think about how to conquer Ling Yu, so she needed to calm down for a while.
She walked into the cave and found a place to sit down.
Is the assassin dead? Did she kill someone?
Ling Qingyan, you killed someone.
So what if she kills people? If she doesn't kill people, they will kill her. She can't survive if she is too soft-hearted, and she can't complete the mission.
The world is different, and you should accept that sooner rather than later.
Ling Qingyan's mind was as clear as a mirror, but her hands couldn't stop shaking.
Ling Yu looked at the distraught girl and slowly walked to her side.
"The assassin is not dead, he just fainted. You didn't hit the vital point." Ling Yu said concisely.
Ling Yu's words slowly calmed Ling Qingyan's uneasy heart.
When she had completely calmed down, she said, "Tang Ning greets the Emperor's uncle."
"Tang Ning? Concubine Yuan's daughter?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a scrutinizing look.
He had some understanding of the love-hate relationship between Concubine Yuan, his royal brother, and his royal brother's friends.
After General Mu died, his good brother the emperor took care of his wife and daughter and brought them to the palace. He continued to favor them and even treated this daughter who was not his own as his own.
No, it is to regard oneself as superior.
However, the news he heard on the frontier was that Princess Tangning was cowardly and gentle, and the person in front of him—
Although he was afraid when shooting the arrow, his movements were free and easy, and he reacted very quickly and pulled himself off the cliff.
Ling Yu looked at the hand she had just held his, his expression gloomy.
"How did Tang Ning know it was safe under the cliff?" Ling Yu asked.
"I don't know, I bet on it."
She couldn't tell him that it was the system that revealed to her that she saved him on purpose.
Ling Yu obviously didn't believe it, but since the girl didn't want to say it, he didn't ask.
After all, she saved herself.
Ling Yu sat down. He was seriously injured and his face did not look good at the moment.
"Uncle, here's some medicine for you." Ling Qingyan handed him the best medicine for wounds.
Ling Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He didn't expect that Ling Qingyan actually had golden medicine with her, so he took it.
"Thank you very much."
Ling Qingyan also suffered some minor injuries. Her leg was hooked by a vine when she came down. Compared to Ling Yu, it was a minor injury, but for the little girl who had never been hurt before, it was a piercing pain.
