For the aristocratic family and the soldiers, autumn hunting is a way to show their abilities to the emperor, but when the guards and soldiers guarding Ye Di dispersed and were about to start the autumn hunting, an accident happened.

There was a buzzing sound from the crossbow strings, and a row of black arrows shot straight at Ye Di.

It has to be said that this timing was cleverly chosen. Some of the imperial guards guarding Emperor Ye were going to join the autumn hunt, and the minds of those who stayed behind were negligent for a moment, and the crowd would not disperse.Hidden in the dark, the crossbow fired repeatedly, and the murderous intent locked onto Ye Di with the arrows.

"Escort!"

The sudden assassination was beyond everyone's expectations, but Ye Di had a battle-tested veteran beside him, and he shouted the moment he heard the buzzing of the crossbowstring.

Although Ye Di was old, he was also a fierce general who had led troops to charge when he was young. Hearing the sound, he immediately rolled off his horse and hid in the protection of the guards with agility.

Some of the crossbow arrows were blocked, but some of them broke through the defense. Although Ye Di himself was in a panic, he was fine, but the imperial horse under his crotch was shot by the crossbow arrows, bleeding profusely, and it seemed that he could not survive.

The crowd was confused by this sudden assassination, let alone the horse.Although the horse Ye Liuyuan was riding was docile, he was unlucky because a crossbow arrow that was parried away pierced the horse's buttocks. This time, the severe pain made the horse neigh, raised its front hooves, and rushed towards the forest like crazy. Run away.

If someone who is excellent at riding and shooting might be able to control the frightened horse that is in pain, but Yeliuyuan can't do anything, he is stiff all over, he can sit on the horse steadily, control the horse slowly, how can he control this startled horse.

The original owner's muscle memory and survival instinct saved Ye Liuyuan at this moment. He wrapped the rein with one hand, hugged the horse's neck tightly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and fixed himself on the horse with the help of the saddle.

As the horse galloped all the way into the woods, Ye Liuyuan could hear the whistling wind, and he didn't dare to raise his head.Because there are many branches and vines protruding horizontally in the forest, if he dared to raise his head, it would be a trivial matter to scratch his face, but if he scratched his eyes, it would be over.

Ye Liuyuan also thought, no wonder the system said that he can't ride and shoot the predicament will be resolved soon.If someone assassinates Emperor Ye, the autumn hunting will basically be ruined, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he can ride and shoot.

Moreover, not only the sound of the wind, but also the sound of the bow strings humming and the crossbow arrows piercing through the air.

Ye Liuyuan cursed secretly, and immediately knew what happened.

The assassins split up and came after him.

There is no need to shoot him, he is lying on the horse at the moment, the startled horse is fast, and there are many branches and leaves in the forest, it is difficult to aim.But the horse is big, as long as you aim at the horse, once the horse suffers again, there is a high probability that he will be thrown off the horse. If he falls off the horse at such a fast speed, how can he survive?

Some of the crossbow arrows shot from behind missed, but a few arrows also pierced the horse's buttocks and legs, which made the horse even more crazy.

It just so happened that there was a big stream in front of it, and the galloping frightened horse jumped up, trying to escape across the stream.Ye Liuyuan knew that this horse had to be abandoned at this time, his own strength was limited, if he crossed the stream, he would no longer be able to fix himself on the horse's back, and if he fell to the ground, he would be close to death.

Moreover, the horse didn't run too far now, and the terrain of the Beichuan jungle was complicated. If he was taken too deep, and he fell off the horse's back and got seriously injured, then no one could find him, and he would really have to wait to die.

Seeing the horse soaring into the air, Ye Liuyuan gritted his teeth and did the most daring thing he did - he let go and turned over and let himself fall into the stream.

On Yedi's side, after the initial chaos, the situation quickly stabilized. There were not no unlucky people like Yeliuyuan, but they were more unlucky than Yeliuyuan, and some were directly thrown off by injured horses. Horseback, broke a bone in his body.

And when the prince saw Ye Liuyuan being led into the forest by a startled horse, he said inwardly that he was sorry, and he immediately said to the guards on the left and right: "Leave some to protect His Majesty, and the rest will follow me."

The direction of the crossbow shot just now was in the forest, and Ye Liuyuan was led into the forest by the startled horse, not to mention the danger itself, if he ran into those assassins, he would definitely die.

The prince is not the same as the half-baked man who changed the core in Yeliuyuan. The Ye family will win the world immediately, and riding and archery is a compulsory course. Zhong is also happy and not afraid.

The prince knew very well that staying outside the forest was just a target for crossbowmen in the dark.Moreover, if the assassins failed to kill with crossbow arrows, the guards around Ye Di must be tighter. If the best opportunity is lost, the assassins will most likely retreat today.

If you can't catch them, then no matter whether Emperor Ye stays to continue the autumn hunt or returns to the palace, the whole process will be exposed to the eyes of the assassin in the dark.

There is still a sparseness in the hundred secrets, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and passively wait for someone to assassinate.On the one hand, the prince broke into the forest to save Ye Liuyuan, and on the other hand, he turned defense into offense.Compared with the youngest son who has been crippled in the eyes of outsiders, the prince is obviously a better assassination target.

The prince wanted to attract the attention of those assassins. If he bumped into those assassins, whether he killed them or captured them, he would always make them incapacitated.

After the prince led people to chase into the forest, Ye Di also reacted and said angrily: "Guards, follow the prince, catch the assassin for me!"

In the forest, sure enough, after the crown prince entered the forest with his personal guards, the assassin's target shifted.Under the protection of the guards, Emperor Ye outside the forest has no chance, and the prince who brought his guards into the forest is obviously easier to win.

However, the prince is not Ye Liuyuan, he listened to the voice to identify his position, and the assassin who used the crossbow arrow behind Ye Liuyuan exposed himself.Originally, it was for autumn hunting at this time, and the bows and arrows used for hunting were all around, and the weapons were ready-made.

The prince took out an arrow from the arrow basket, bent the bow and set the arrow, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, opened the bow with both arms, aimed at the assassin, let go, and the arrow that left the string hit an assassin in an instant.The prince was also surrounded by guards who were skilled in riding and archery. As the prince set up a bow and shot arrows, the assassins who had exposed their positions were shot and killed one after another.

The environment of the jungle greatly restricted the performance of the crossbow arrows. Trees and branches were natural obstacles, and the sound was too loud when fired.In contrast, the bows and arrows used by the crown prince and his personal guards are precise and flexible.

The assassin was not stupid either, and immediately retreated after weighing the pros and cons.

"Chase! Catch them!" The prince said coldly: "The imperial guards will not sit idly by, there is a siege outside, you chase them and catch them alive."

"Leave two and follow me!"

Following the prince's personal guards, they divided into two groups, one went to chase the assassin, and the other followed the prince's trail in the forest to find Ye Liuyuan.

Following the traces of the startled horse in the forest, the prince chased to the stream, and saw Ye Liuyuan fell in the stream at a glance.

Yeliuyuan let go and fell into the stream at that time. Fortunately, the depth of the stream is moderate, and the deepest point probably reaches the waist of a person.When Ye Liuyuan fell down, she instinctively turned her back downwards. When she fell into the stream, she felt that her internal organs were displaced, and she climbed to the bank of the stream with her last breath.

Seeing this, the prince immediately got off his horse and walked to Ye Liuyuan's side to check his injuries.

Ye Liuyuan had many wounds from branches and leaves, but she was not hit by a crossbow arrow, and her body was not broken.

"Seventh brother? Seventh brother?"

The prince checked him before he dared to help him up, trying to wake him up.

Ye Liuyuan was still conscious, he fell into the stream, the water in the late autumn was icy cold, and his whole body was drenched.The wound didn't hurt that much after being soaked in cold water, but the leg bone hurt.

The brook in late autumn, the drenched clothes, and the wind in the forest made Yeliuyuan shiver from the cold, and the legs felt as if there was a cold air penetrating inward, causing a heart-wrenching pain.

"Brother...leg, my leg...it hurts, it hurts...the flesh wounds on my body are trivial, but my leg really hurts too much.

Ye Liuyuan thought of his female classmate in the same class in college, she wished she could commit suicide by cutting herself apart when she had dysmenorrhea, now he can somewhat understand.

The prince stretched out his hand and pressed his leg, making sure there was no fracture, but Ye Liuyuan was in so much pain, it must be the relapse of an old injury.The prince had asked the prince, and he knew that his legs could not catch the cold, and now Ye Liuyuan was soaked, so it would be impossible to take people on horseback out of the woods, and see the wind develop into a cold.

The prince made a decisive decision, and said to the guards who followed: "Which one of you has brought a clean cloth?"

The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Take off your coat for me."

These personal guards are loyal to the prince, not to mention taking off their robes, even if they give their lives to the prince, they will not frown.

The two guards obeyed and took off their outer robes for the prince, and the prince himself took off his middle coat and outer robe, and put on the outer robes of the guards himself.

The two guards looked at each other, thinking that the prince asked them to take off their outer robes for the seventh prince, but the prince actually put them on himself.

The crown prince didn't care, he said he had no clothes, he shared the same robes with his son, he had been in the military camp and lived with the soldiers, and he didn't feel bad about wearing the robes of his personal guards next to his body.

But if he wanted to wrap the willow garden with the robe of his personal guard, the prince felt a little conflicted in his heart.

He cut open the middle coat he took off with a dagger, then took off Ye Liuyuan's wet clothes, and quickly dried his body, especially his legs, with the middle coat.Then wrap her outer robe around Ye Liuyuan's body, and then wrap her personal guard robe around her outer robe.

He took off Yeliuyuan's soaked shoes and socks, dried them with the remaining strips of underwear and wrapped them up.The cold came from the feet, and the prince did not ignore this.

After everything was dealt with, with the help of the personal guards, he led people onto the horse.

"go!"

The prince beat the horse and took Ye Liuyuan out of the forest. When he got out of the forest, he met the guard who was going to catch the assassin, but the guard brought back only the corpse.

"His Royal Highness, these assassins saw that the situation was not good and bit the poison sac in their mouths." The personal guard stepped forward and replied, "They came prepared."

From hiding in the forest to assassinate, to shifting the target to the prince, to recognizing the situation and retreating, seeing the situation is not good and killing himself, this is not so much an assassin as a dead man.
