Chapter 65: The Doll is Missing
Xin Hongying lashed the horse's buttocks with the scabbard in his hand fiercely. The black horse neighed loudly and ran out suddenly, and the cold arrow shot into empty space behind them.
Shen Tingyu and Xin Hongying rode together, galloping through the bamboo forest in the mountains.
Fortunately, there was only one arrow left from the assassin's arrow.
On the horse's back, on the ground where Shen Tingyu couldn't see, the blood color on Xin Hongying's lips disappeared and turned pale, and his face no longer looked calm.
When he was pulling Chen Tingyu onto the horse just now, he pulled the wound on his shoulder, and blood continued to seep out. The excessive blood loss made him feel extremely tired and weak.
The reins were suddenly stuffed into her hands. Shen Tingyu was startled and was about to turn back when a cold and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, "The reins are given to you, don't look back."
A pair of bony hands had already covered her fair hands, pressing tightly against them, their knuckles slightly cold. Their slender fingers taught her step by step, "Pull the reins like this. Loosening and tightening are both important... If you want to be as fast as lightning, you can kick the horse's belly or whip its rump..."
Shen Tingyu was slightly startled, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Your Majesty, why... why are you suddenly teaching this fairy these?"
"That's right, I worried too much. How could a fairy not know how to ride a horse?" Xin Hongying laughed out loud in his chest, and Shen Tingyu's ears felt numb.
She really couldn't ride a horse! But this was her contracted mount. Because of the wrong timing, she didn't have time to tell the tyrant, so he didn't know.
His voice was a little weak but full of vigor: "Remember, hold on to the reins. Don't stop until you see the Imperial Guards and Luo Hun. Go!"
Just as she finished speaking, while Shen Tingyu was puzzled, a body pressed heavily on her back, with its chin resting on her shoulder, tightly pressed against half of her cheek, and its hair lightly tickling her, causing a slight itch on her face.
Shen Tingyu was panicked for a moment, “Your Majesty, what’s wrong with you!”
She urgently called out to Xiao Qi in her mind: "Check on the tyrant's life..."
"I'm not dead... I just have no strength left. I want to take a nap..." Xin Hongying's voice was weak and her breath was barely moving. Shen Tingyu looked terrified, "No, Your Majesty, you can't sleep... Please don't sleep..."
They walked deeper and deeper into the mountains and forests and could no longer find their way back. After walking for a long time, they still did not encounter any familiar roads.
Shen Tingyu was worried about getting lost in the mountains and forests, so she fled along the river. She hugged Xin Hongying's arms with both hands, and when she looked down, she saw a bright red bloodstain on her arm, and her gorgeous clothes became tattered.
But they could only give his wounds some simple treatment.
They rode together, Shen Tingyu kept talking to the tyrant, and the distance between the two was very close, leaving their figures leaning against each other on the water.
…
"Luo Hun!" The Regent's voice grew increasingly angry. "How long are you going to follow me?"
Luo Hun chuckled and remained silent. He aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the sika deer that had just emerged from the woods and shot through its hind leg.
"I have hunted with my own ability. The Regent doesn't need to shout. I can hear him."
The branches were touched, and they both saw at the same time that the Regent's riding and shooting skills were also good, but definitely not as good as Luo Hun.
In order to get the prey first, he drew his bow and shot the arrow without even looking.
The sharp arrow was shot first.
A dark shadow was looming behind the tree. It didn't look like any wild animal, but more like a human figure.
Luo Hun's pupils contracted violently, and he quickly shot out the arrow in his hand. The speed of the arrow was much faster than that of the Regent, and it caught up with the Regent and collided with each other, slightly changing the arrow's attack trajectory.
The Regent's expression changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he pointed with trembling fingers, "Luo Hun, you actually openly took my prey by force! You've gone too far!"
Luo Hun turned to the shadow of the tree and shouted, "Who!"
Gao Tang finally got rid of the assassin and rushed towards the hunting ground guards. The blood-stained whisk in his hand was almost crushed by him, and his feet were flying.
bite!
One arrow shot at his head and another shot at his feet. Gao Tang lowered his eyes vigilantly and saw that the arrow feathers were made of the same material as the hunting ground, and there was also the hunting ground's logo on them.
His eyes lit up and he suddenly smiled.
Gao Tang, holding a whisk, finally emerged from the shadows of the tree and said, "It's the old slave."
"Eunuch Gao! Why is it you? You..." The Regent was surprised, his eyes flashing with a gleam. "Why are you alone? Where is His Majesty?"
"Eunuch Gao! How are you injured? His Majesty is in danger!" Luo Hun rode forward, pushing past the Regent, and demanded, "Where is His Majesty? Why are you alone?"
"There are assassins lying in ambush in the woods, about thirty to fifty of them, all elite soldiers, in..." Gao Tang spoke very quickly, telling all the information he knew.
"General Luo, quickly lead the Imperial Guards to rescue His Majesty."
Luo Hun's eyes were like those of a ferocious wolf as he finally opened them from his sleep. He rode a tall horse, looking down from above, and cast a sharp light.
"Eunuch Gao, there's a small group of imperial guards patrolling three hundred meters away. Go find them and lead them into the woods to search for the person."
He made the arrangements in an orderly manner, his eyes gleaming with a strange light as he looked to the side: "Prince Regent, do you dare to follow this general into the forest immediately to find His Majesty?"
The warhorse under Luo Hun's feet smelled his master's bloodthirsty mood, and its hooves moved slightly, spraying a turbid breath from its nostrils, and shaking back and forth in place.
The regent's expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips and sneered, "What do you mean by this, Luo Hun? Do you think I'm a coward who wouldn't dare to rescue him? You underestimate me!"
"If your majesty is in trouble, I will do my best to save you. Even if the general doesn't say so, I will save you."
"Then follow this general!"
Luo Hun retracted his complicated gaze and said, "Go!"
He kicked the horse's belly, and the warhorse galloped out like an arrow from a bow. The Regent followed behind him with an uneasy look on his face.
According to Gao Tang's words, they found the place where His Majesty was assassinated. There was no one nearby, only corpses scattered on the ground.
Luo Hun rushed around searching, shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
The Regent also saw it. He rolled up his luxurious sleeves, covered his nose with his hands in disgust, his face turned as black as ink, his eyes were full of disgust, and there was a hint of other strange light, but it quickly disappeared.
Luo Hun was riding on his horse, looking at the cruel corpse on the ground. He clenched his fists and gripped the reins, his expression changing slightly.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately dismounted and walked across the bloody mud in his military boots.
"It's the brocade bag on His Majesty's waist." Luo Hun squatted down, reached out to pick up the large brocade bag with exquisite embroidery that had fallen to the ground, and flipped it with his slender fingers.
The sachet was empty, and he was slightly surprised. "The doll inside is gone too!"
"Something's happened to His Majesty! He must still be nearby."
Seeing that the doll was gone, Luo Hun felt a little relieved. His Majesty cherished this doll so much, and the assassin was able to take the doll away when he attempted to assassinate him, which showed that the matter was still under his control.
