Lu Xiya, who was wearing a blue riding uniform, rode her horse and scanned the surrounding environment casually. She found that the trees in Yiguo seemed to be generally thicker than those in Moguo, and it was easier to hide some crises.

When they reached the outskirts of Yishan Mountain, Lu Xiya suddenly stopped and said bluntly that she could just hunt some rabbits here, and she didn't care about the outcome.

Li Xiaoji nodded and was about to separate from Lu Xiya, but at this moment he heard a tiger roar, which made him want to roll his eyes. Can't these people try a new trick?

As soon as the tiger's roar came out, it instantly aroused tension inside and outside Yishan. What's going on? Shouldn't tigers and other ferocious beasts be driven elsewhere?

Shen Yu walked out of the tent, looked at the top of Yishan Mountain, and smiled. Sure enough, some disobedient mice appeared. I hope they can have fun soon!

Princess Eleven, who was chasing the prey on horseback, was first panicked and then eager to try when the tiger roared out, because she mistakenly thought it was a gift arranged by Shen Yu for her.

Who made her a satisfactory candidate for concubine Shen Yu? Didn't he want to build momentum for her? Once the news spreads that the future crown princess of Yiguo has hunted a tiger, it will definitely attract the attention of the world.

Thinking about it, Eleven actually turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of the sound. She was so shocked that all the people accompanying her tried to stop her. For her safety, she had to retreat in time.

At this moment, a sharp arrow shot out, hitting Eleven's back. Eleven didn't have time to react, but the guard on one side reacted quickly and blocked it with a horizontal sword, but the lightning-fast arrow hit the hilt of the sword. Get rid of it.

"There are assassins, protect Princess Eleven!" shouted angrily, and the guards protecting Princess Eleven arranged their formation flexibly to protect her in the middle.

He San and others who were silently throwing prey in the dark for Princess Eleven to shoot also appeared helplessly and cooperated with the actions of the guards to resist the assassins.

Subsequently, a hail of arrows flew out from the dense branches and leaves. The guards used their shields to resist, and He San even sent a signal in time to call for support.

Princess Eleven was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that her face turned pale. After she regained her composure, she became furious and said, "Why Fang Xiaoxiao dares to assassinate this princess?"

No one responded, only the sound of arrows flying out and hitting the blade, the rapid breathing, and the shouts of death from both the enemy and ourselves were heard, causing Princess Eleven to silently shut up.

On Li Xiaoji's side, the moment Lu Xiya heard the roar of the tiger, she turned her horse's head and fled without hesitation. Li Xiaoji was a little surprised, but she nodded and smiled.

This is how a person with a normal mind should react when faced with danger. Well, even a person with an abnormal mind cannot have a good relationship with Liu Yuening and become an indispensable figure in Qin Xi's life.

Shaking his head, Li Xiaoji rode and led people to the place where the signal was sent. When he rushed over, Shen Yu's ambush came out first.

Another burst of arrows shot out, but it firmly protected the eleventh princess and her party. Then, the sound of fighting rang out, and before everyone could react, several assassins appeared and fell to the ground helplessly.

"Princess, go away!" He San understood that what happened today was a carefully designed trap, and the Eleventh Princess was used as bait to lure out the assassin. He didn't want to get entangled. After shouting, he slapped the horse on which the Eleventh Princess was riding.

Princess Eleven had no time to react, so she had to instinctively clamp the horse's belly tightly, and quickly ran towards the foot of Yishan Mountain under the cover of everyone.

Behind him, the secret guards sent by Shen Yu were fighting to the death with the assassins. He San and others were unable to intervene and did not want to get involved. They retreated decisively and chased Eleven to avoid the mantis stalking the cicada or the oriole behind.

But in just a moment, the eleventh princess disappeared. He San and others were so shocked that their expressions changed drastically. Oh no, they still fell into the trap!

When Princess Eleven was running away on horseback, she didn't care to see her surroundings clearly. Suddenly a big pit appeared, causing her to fall down together with her horse, and she fell unconscious.

There was actually a tunnel hidden under the pit. At the moment she was unconscious, a pair of hands pulled her into the tunnel. It was Qin Xi's men.

It turned out that when Qin Xi and Liu Yuening realized that the enemies of Mo State also wanted to destroy the alliance between Yi State and Mo State, they made two preparations.

One is to allow the enemies of the Mo Kingdom to assassinate the Eleventh Princess and fish in troubled waters; the other is to directly kidnap the Eleventh Princess and frame the fault when the Mo Kingdom's enemies fail to assassinate her.

As mentioned before, Qin Xi was familiar with the secret passages inside and outside the imperial city, and there happened to be a secret passage hidden in Yishan. This was also the confidence for him to boldly formulate the second plan.

Qin Xi's men succeeded in one move and did not dare to delay. He carried the eleventh princess and ran through the secret passage, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

When He San and others arrived, there was only an injured horse left in the pit, but there was no sign of Princess Eleven.

He San and others had no time to think about it, thinking that Princess Eleven had been kidnapped by the assassin, so they sent out the signal again. Unexpectedly, a black shadow flashed past, but it was a guard with a square face with a token hanging on his waist.

The guard had no intention of talking to He San and the others. He jumped down into the pit and struck the entrance of the secret passage he just saw with his palm. The force was just right to break the stone door, but it would not cause a landslide.

This person is Shen Yu's real back-up man. He has been following the Eleventh Princess in the dark, watching the Eleventh Princess fall into the trap and then be captured by the hand stretched out from the secret passage.

He waited until now to confuse the assassin and gain access to the secret passage.

Shen Yu had known that people like Qin Xi would not sit back and watch the marriage between Mo and Yi, so he arranged everything and deliberately showed extraordinary love to the eleventh princess, using her to lure out the rats in the gutter.

The purpose is to dig out the secrets hidden by those mice and cut off another path for those mice.

He San and the others watched in stunned silence as the guard walked into the entrance. You looked at me and I looked at him, realizing that this was not something they could interfere with. They turned around to leave, but Li Xiaoji arrived at this moment.

After learning that there was a secret passage hidden under the pit and that someone was already chasing the assassin and the kidnapped Eleven Princess, Li Xiaoji frowned and ordered He San and others to wait here while he jumped into the pit regardless of dissuasion.

After touching the injured horse, Li Xiaoji raised his head and ordered He San and others to pick up the horse, and then got in along the entrance.

Although the secret passage is not considered narrow, it has nine twists and turns and many forks in the road, making it difficult for people in it to know their direction no matter how good their sense of direction is.

Li Xiaoji relied on her spiritual consciousness, and the guards relied on sniffing the fragrance of the jade bracelet worn by Princess Eleven to avoid getting lost.

Qin Xi's men, who were dragging Princess Eleven forward, suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned around and stopped, moved their ears, listened carefully to the sounds in the secret passage, and realized that they had been exposed.

After taking a look at the eleventh princess, Qin Xi's men gritted their teeth and immediately stuffed a poison into her, forced her to eat it while she was in a coma, left her and ran away.

After running a certain distance, Qin Xi's men reached for the mechanism, intending to destroy the half-exposed secret passage. However, at this moment, they heard a sound piercing the air, causing him to instinctively dodge, but the guards were chasing after him.

The bodyguard who was entrusted with the important task by Shen Yu was Qi's cousin Qi Ming. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was very talented in martial arts. If Gao Yingran hadn't killed Qi, he would have become another general of the Li Kingdom.

After Shen Yu usurped the country, in order to protect the Qi family, he deported their entire family to a small country near the border of Yi State and severed ties with each other.

Qi Ming did not follow the tribe, but chose to stay with Shen Yu and serve him.

The world reviled Shen Yu for stealing the country, so what if they hated him for being cruel? In Qi Ming's view, Shen Yu, who risked everything to avenge his cousin, was a person worthy of his admiration throughout his life.

Everyone's perspective is different.
