comeback [rebirth]

The flying arrow was in front of him in a blink of an eye, Cen Yuan didn't wear a sword, so he had to block it with the bow in his hand at the critical moment.

--clang!

There was only a loud collision, and the tip of the arrow just hit Cen Yuan's bow, with great remaining force, Cen Yuan felt his palms go numb, and he was forced to turn over and get off the horse.

As soon as he stood firm and raised his head, he saw arrow feathers shot out again from the direction of the sneak attack, flying towards him in unison.

—Someone wants his life!

Cen Yuan sneered in his heart, and swiped the arrow with precision again with the bow in his hand.On the other side, Yan Xuan didn't lower the whip without saying a word, and immediately took out several arrows and straightly pulled the bowstring and shot, only to hear a muffled sound coming from behind a certain tree, someone was hit by an arrow because he didn't have time to completely hide behind the tree.

Cen Yuan looked at the back of Yan Xuan galloping away on Ge Ying, only regretting that he didn't bring a saber, he didn't have other weapons in his hand, and the only bow he held was dented for a while because of the head-on collision with the arrow just now. , only barely enough.

He went back to the horse to get the arrows, but suddenly spat out - just now when he competed with Yan Xuan, he was too flamboyant, and every time he shot two or three arrows at the same time, there were only three arrows left in the quiver.

He directly took out the three arrows together, but Yan Xuan shouted urgently: "Cen Yuan! Be careful!"

Without waiting to raise his head, Cen Yuansi rolled on the spot from the direction the arrow came from just now, and in the next moment, several bows and arrows "swipe" pierced the soil, and another one hit the horse.The horse immediately groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

Cen Yuan didn't pause at all, and after rolling over, he bit the two extra arrows between his teeth and pulled the bow string.Not far away, Yan Xuan had already dismounted, and the Mingyu sword was unsheathed with a clang. At some point beside him, several men in different clothes appeared beside him, wielding broadswords in their hands, and there was a loud clang when they collided with the Mingyu sword.

When Cen Yuan saw the costume at first glance, he felt familiar, but at this moment, the scene did not allow him to think too much, so he aimed quickly and shot the arrow suddenly.

The arrow feathers pierced the sky, bringing out the awe-inspiring sound of the wind hidden under the sound of the clash of swords.Yan Xuan on the other end looked sideways slightly, held the sword in his hand against the knife of one of the big men, turned around slightly, and led the big man's back to the direction of the wind.

- Pfft!

The arrow pierced through the flesh in an instant, and the arrow pierced the big man's left shoulder, leaving only a bloody hole that cannot be ignored.The big knife he couldn't hold in his hand fell to the ground, almost shaking the ground.

"what!--"

- Whoops!

Suddenly there was a sound in the forest, the branches and leaves danced wildly, and the birds fluttered their wings and flew towards the sky.

The fifth prince, Cen Yi, still kept his bow, raised his head suddenly, looked in the direction of the flying birds, and asked, "What happened?"

Beside him is Duan Meng, Lieutenant of the Northern Army who is in charge of Xia Miao's guard this time. Strictly speaking, Cen Yi can still call him uncle.

Duan Meng also looked in that direction, and said disapprovingly: "Probably some prince or young master is chasing prey."

Cen Yi didn't say a word, but at this moment, a soldier came on horseback, and the voice came before the man arrived:

"Master Duan! It's bad! There are assassins breaking into Bailu Forest!"

Duan Meng took a look at Cen Yi, and then his expression became condensed: "How is it possible! I checked the fence this morning and there is nothing wrong!"

"It's true!" shouted the soldier, "There are more than ten people from the other side, they broke in from the northwest corner, and the second prince and Lord Yan happened to be nearby, and they have already fought with them!"

Cen Yi: "!"

Without waiting for Duan Meng to say anything, he put his bow behind his back and swung his whip: "Drive!"

"Your Highness!" Duan Meng shouted, seeing that the other party didn't even turn his head back, he turned to ask the soldier, "Who else is there besides Second Prince and Lord Yan?"

The soldier replied: "Xu Zhonglei is leading people there!"

Hearing this, Duan Meng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, but was quickly suppressed by him.He quickly ordered: "You find some more people, and go find the other princes and sons together, and don't let others get close to the place where the assassin is."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Duan Meng took the reins and drove away towards the northwest corner.

·

Yan Xuan on the other end pushed away the big man covering his shoulders, turned around and raised his hand to raise his sword, directly blocking the other two big knives that came down on him.Mingyu Sword's body is thin and slender, and at first glance it seems to be nothing more than gold and jade, but I didn't expect it to be able to firmly catch the offensive of the two big knives at this time.

The two big men tried their best to approach, but one of them suddenly said: "It's not him, don't waste your time here!"

The other person suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly withdrew his attack, spinning his feet to run in the direction of Cen Yuan.Unexpectedly, before he took a few steps, Cen Yuan shot the remaining two arrows at the same time, and the arrow feathers flew towards the two people respectively.Before the big man had time to dodge, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and the pain of his body being pierced forcibly entered his mind in an instant, as if hundreds of millions of needles were pierced into acupuncture points all over his body at the same time.

His feet were weak, and one leg slammed to the ground.

Blood flowed out from the wound on the shoulder, and not long after, the big man forced himself up again, replaced his uninjured hand and continued to hold the big knife, and swung it towards Cen Yuan who was approaching him.His eyes were almost bleeding, and he yelled, "Today I will cut off the heads of you Han people and avenge my people!"

Cen Yuan frowned, and turned to one side in a fast gallop to avoid the knife from the opponent, then his figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared behind the big man.He lifted his foot and kicked the big man's knee, while drawing the bowstring, put it into the opponent's head, and clasped the opponent's throat with the bow.

The big man was tall and burly, but after being hit by this blow, he fell to his knees on the ground again, his body was firmly controlled by Cen Yuan's arms, and he couldn't even make a slight struggle.

Cen Yuan pulled his bow and asked in a deep voice, "Are you from the Exian tribe?"

"Hmph." The big man's voice was hoarse, and he wanted to turn his head, but because of being restrained by Cen Yuan, he couldn't even turn his head.

He said: "I didn't expect someone to remember it."

Cen Yuan asked: "Who asked you to kill me?"

"If we want to kill, we will kill, how can anyone instigate it!" The big man shouted, "You Han people deserve all this!"

Cen Yuan wanted to ask again, but in an instant he caught an unusual sound of wind behind him, and immediately grabbed the big man in front of him and rolled to the side, but when he looked back, they were not where he expected. Generally inserted by arrows.

He walked around and saw that the arrow had been broken in two and fell not far from him.

——In the flash, it was Yan Xuan who swung his jade sword towards the void, just in time to cut the arrow aimed at Cen Yuan into two pieces!

In the next moment, Yan Xuan turned around to resist again, Ming Yujian made a clanging sound, and forcibly blocked the two machetes!

Cen Yuan realized that now is really not a suitable time for slow interrogation, so he drew the bow around the big man's neck upwards, and then hit the back of the opponent's neck with one blow, and the latter passed out directly.

"Yan Xuan!" Cen Yuan suddenly shouted towards the battlefield on the other side, and the next moment he heard Yan Xuan's deep but steady answer: "I'm fine."

I saw that Yan Xuan resisted the attack of nearly ten people by himself, but if someone wanted to bypass him, the next second the mingyu sword would strike head-on with a strong killing intent!During the struggle, no one was able to approach Cen Yuan beyond his side.

The used arrow fell to the ground with blood on it. Cen Yuan picked it up, drew the bow and released it again, and shot straight into the arm of the big man who was swinging the knife down behind Yan Xuan.

"Yan Xuan!" Cen Yuanfei rushed into the battle, knocked the injured man unconscious in the same way, and tilted his head slightly, "Don't kill, keep alive."

Yan Xuan pressed against his back, and replied in a deep voice, "En."

For a while, the forest was so quiet that even the sound of falling leaves could be heard. The assassins who were still standing stared at the two of them, surrounded them, and approached them step by step.

Yan Xuan had a good time, threw the Mingyu Sword into his left hand, and handed the hilt back: "Hold the sword."

Cen Yuan said without turning his head: "No need." He threw away the deformed bow in his hand, and pulled out the folding fan he carried with him from his arms.

Seeing this, an assassin snorted, "Looking for death!"

As soon as the voice fell, the remaining few people seemed to have received the signal to start the war, and they swung their knives forward together!

"--stop!"

Just at this moment, dozens of army horses rushed over, and dust rose everywhere under the rumbling sound.The voice of the leader came first, and the sword had already been unsheathed when it arrived on the battlefield.

As soon as the soldiers behind him reined in their horses, they rolled over and drew their swords one after another, the situation in the field changed instantly.Seeing that their side fell into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye, the assassins didn't even retreat or escape, and they were about to smash their cans and fight to the death.

The leader—Northern Army center base Xu Peng slashed a sword on the arm of one of the assassins, and rushed to the field shouting: "Catch them all alive!"

What responded to him was the increasingly intense sounds of swords, lights and swords colliding with each other. Although the assassins were all big and three thick, they were still not as good as the professionally trained lieutenant soldiers, and they fell short after a while.

Cen Yuan slammed the folding fan on the wrist of an assassin, and the assassin only felt numbness in one arm, and the big knife fell to the ground with a bang.The surrounding soldiers immediately stepped forward and clasped the big man's hands behind him, and pressed his head to the ground.

Cen Yuan withdrew his hand, seeing that all the assassins were subdued, but there was no trace of relief on his face.

Xu Peng inspected those murderers, then turned to Cen Yuan and Yan Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Second Highness, Lord Yan, please forgive me for the late rescue."

Cen Yuan remembered that this person seemed to be the nephew of the third prince's biological mother, Xu Jieyu, who got such a mid-base official position a few years ago when the third prince married his concubine.

He inserted the folding fan into the jade belt casually, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"Are you two injured?" Xu Peng said, "The subordinate has just sent another person back to the palace first, so that the imperial doctor is on standby."

Cen Yuan shook his head again.

Except for rolling a few times on the ground, and when the tiger's mouth was shaken when he blocked the arrow with the bow at the beginning, he didn't have a single skin on his body.

But then he looked at Yan Xuan, who immediately said, "No problem."

Hearing this, Cen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xu Peng and said, "Take these people back to the palace first, and ask Father to deal with this matter."

"Yes!"

Xu Peng led the soldiers of the Northern Army and dragged a dozen assassins towards the White Deer Forest Outer Palace.

Before Cen Yuan could take a good breath, he heard several horseshoes coming from a distance again.

Someone came from a distance and shouted, "Second Brother! Master Yan!"

Cen Yuan followed the prestige and saw that it was Cen Yi who came, with Duan Meng behind him.

As soon as Cen Yi got off her horse, she rushed up and asked, "Second brother! Lord Yan! Are you all right?"

Cen Yuan shrank back and rubbed his ears on purpose: "I'll be deaf if I have nothing to do."

"Second brother!" Cen Yi became even more impatient because of his irrelevant attitude, and turned to confirm with Yan Xuan: "Master Yan, I just saw that those assassins have been taken away, are you all right?"

Yan Xuan stood behind Cen Yuan, and only after asking him did he speak: "It's nothing."

"That's good!" Cen Yi shouted.

"Second Highness, Lord Yan." The other Duan Meng also got off his horse, and after saying hello, he turned to Cen Yi, "Fifth Highness, you rushed over so recklessly, if there is anything, how should I report to Duan Zhaoyi?" Confession."

Without waiting for the fifth prince to speak, Cen Yuan laughed softly: "Yes, fifth brother, if you have any troubles, some people will die." He looked at Duan Meng, "You say so, Mr. Duan .”

Duan Meng lowered his head and said: "How to deal with those assassins is up to His Majesty to decide."

Cen Yuan smiled and did not respond, but Duan Meng felt that the other party's gaze fell on him, as if a pair of invisible hands had peeled off all the clothes he used to disguise, and directly stripped all the things in his mind to the naked eye exposed in full view.

Duan Meng couldn't help swallowing, and secretly raised his eyes, only to see that Cen Yuan had withdrawn his aggressive gaze and was looking away with his hands behind his back.

"So what's the danger?" The fifth prince said at this time, "Second brother and Master Yan are in danger, how can I sit idly by as Prince Daning. Moreover, this time the assassin broke into the White Deer Forest while hunting. Your Excellency, as a lieutenant of the Northern Army, cannot escape his responsibility."

Duan Meng immediately responded kindly: "Your Highness is right."

"Fifth brother, that's it." Cen Yuan raised his hand to stop him, "Master Duan said just now that his father made the decision, so don't let the fifth brother do it for him."

Only then did Cen Yi compromise: "Understood, second brother."

"Then hurry back to the palace." Cen Yuan said, "Be careful when Father asks."

"What about the second brother and Lord Yan?"

Cen Yuan said: "You go first, we will return later."

"Okay, then my brother will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Cen Yi turned back and got on her horse, and said to Duan Meng, "Let's go first."

The latter quickly bowed to Cen Yuan and the two, turned around and left as if fleeing.

Not long after, the two horses stepped on the broken branches and leaves, and gradually disappeared.

It wasn't until this moment that Cen Yuanfang let out a long breath, and the aftertaste of the fight still left a buzzing sound in his ears.He squeezed the tiger's mouth that had been shaken just now, looked up at Yan Xuan, looked at Yan Xuan from top to bottom with his eyes, and asked, "Are you injured?"

The Mingyu sword has been put into the scabbard, and Yan Xuan put one hand on the hilt: "No. What's wrong with your hand?"

"Oh." Cen Yuan shook his hand, "I was shocked when I took the bow just now, it's nothing, it will be fine in a while."

Yan Xuan didn't say a word, her sword eyebrows were slightly raised.He looked at the other party intently, and saw that there were indeed no visible wounds on the other party's body, so he nodded slightly, raised his hand and whistled.

When Ge Ying heard the sound, Cen Yuan also went to look for his own horse. After finding it, he found that the poor nameless pony was hit by an arrow and collapsed on the ground long ago, unable to get up.

Cen Yuan: "..."

He squatted down, stroked the little pony who had been fighting with Ge Ying just now, and sighed silently.

The death of the horse is a minor matter, but it is a major matter to go back to the palace.

Cen Yuan was not a belligerent person, this fight almost made him physically and mentally exhausted, he just wanted to find a place to lie down.Originally there were still horses that could carry him back, but now that there was no horse, he didn't even want to take a step.

Why don't you find an excuse to say that you have sprained your ankle, find a place to sit for a while, and then go back?

But in this way, what if Yan Xuan gets angry again?

He was thinking wildly, when the sound of branches and leaves being trampled suddenly came from his ears.

He raised his head, and saw Yan Xuan stretching out his hand towards him, and said softly, "Get on the horse."
