Zhongyuan brought bowls and chopsticks. After Jiang Yuhuan and Mrs. Zhen finished their fast meal, Mrs. Zhen said that she wanted to go to the Buddha to worship and stood up to leave.
Jiang Yuhuan also planned to leave and go down the mountain after Sanqi and Zhongyuan had finished their meal.
"Go faster. Master Kongchen only lectures on Buddhism once a year. This is the easiest way for us to see Master Kongchen. If you go late, you won't be able to get a seat."
"Yes, yes, I have to fight to be at the front, so that I have a chance to be selected by the master. I have to ask if my family has a fortune."
Jiang Yuhuan and the three people walked down the mountain, in sharp contrast to the bustling people going up the mountain.
The Dharma chants that frequently appeared in their words kept coming to Jiang Yuhuan's ears. She thought that maybe this was an enlightened monk, but unfortunately her confusion could not be explained by Buddhist principles.
Outside the stable, the coachman was talking to the young monk who was watching the horses.
When he saw Jiang Yuhuan coming, he immediately stopped talking and turned around to fetch the horse.
"The princess of the county."
"Are you ready for dinner?"
The driver nodded, "I've used it."
Jiang Yuhuan looked around, "Has the horse always been in your sight?"
"That's not true. People have three urgent needs, and there are always times when the little one doesn't see me. But when I left, the little master was always there."
The young monk heard that he was mentioned and looked at Jiang Yuhuan, "Yes, donor, the young monk has been watching."
Jiang Yuhuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
The coachman brought a footstool. Before getting on, Jiang Yuhuan took a special look at the horse and entered the carriage after seeing nothing.
As the carriage drove a few miles away from Fuhua Mountain, Jiang Yuhuan still felt uneasy.
"parking."
"What's wrong, princess?" Zhongyuan asked.
"Sanqi, did you get on the bus here today?"
"yes."
When they arrived, Sanqi didn't get into the carriage with her. Instead, she rode behind her horse and got into the carriage with them when they were near Fuhua Mountain.
Since she knew that Ning Guogong wanted to kill her, she had to be more cautious.
She was very familiar with the situation of horses running wild and falling off cliffs when traveling, so she had to be careful.
Today I happened to meet Mrs. Ning Guogong again, and I couldn't help but wonder if they would take action.
Although the coachman and the young monk said that no one came close to the horse, she still felt uneasy in her heart.
Anyway, Sanqi is riding a horse just in case, just to be on guard to the end.
"Call the horses out and change them."
Sanqi's horses are different from carriage horses. They are spiritual and obey the call.
Sanqi followed his usual style and got up and got out of the car without asking any questions.
Zhongyuan looked at Sanqi's back and asked: "Princess Princess, do you suspect there is something wrong with the horse?"
When Ning Jun made the appointment, Zhong Yuan was still investigating the matter of Le Ji Sheng Sad, and did not know the plans of Ning Guo Gongfu.
She was surprised and puzzled by Jiang Yuhuan's sudden behavior.
"I'm uneasy, please give me peace of mind." Jiang Yuhuan said.
"oh."
Sanqi got out of the car and blew a whistle with his finger on his lips. After a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
She switched the two horses and mounted the other one.
"Princess Princess, servants are following on horseback."
Jiang Yuhuan was worried, "What if there is something wrong with the horse?"
"I know martial arts and can jump off my horse at any time."
"Well, be careful."
The carriage moved forward again, but Jiang Yuhuan did not feel relieved because of the change of horses.
She opened the corner of the curtain and secretly observed her surroundings.
A stick of incense passed and I didn't notice anything strange.
She thought she was overthinking it, and was about to put down the curtain when she suddenly heard Sanqi's tight voice, "Zhongyuan, protect the princess!"
Immediately, a piercing sound and a sharp wind passed by Jiang Yuhuan's ears.
Jiang Yuhuan took a closer look and saw an arrow nailed to the carriage.
Zhongyuan opened his arms to protect the frightened Jiang Yuhuan behind him.
Suddenly, there was a muffled groan from the front, and with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the horse neighed and began to run wildly. Jiang Yuhuan was shaken, and Sanqi's anxious shouts were far behind him.
"County... Princess Princess, protect yourself. I will go and restrain the horse."
Zhongyuan reluctantly moved forward amidst the violent shaking. She opened the curtain and the coachman was gone.
The horse ran forward crazily. Seeing a curve ahead, the horse had no intention of changing direction.
She took the reins and pulled back hard, and the horse shook its head wildly. It didn't stop for a moment, but ran faster.
Zhongyuan was unable to stop him, so he took out his dagger and cut off the reins immediately.
The horse lost control and rushed straight towards the cliff.
The carriage lost the support of the horse and fell to the ground. Jiang Yuhuan was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
"Princess Princess!" Zhong Yuan fell to the ground and hurriedly turned around to look for Jiang Yuhuan.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yuhuan stretched out a hand on the side of the car with difficulty.
Zhongyuan walked over quickly and pulled her up. Jiang Yuhuan held her injured waist and gasped.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The rain of arrows continues.
Zhongyuan curled up to protect Jiang Yuhuan, and the two of them took advantage of the carriage to hide.
Jiang Yuhuan quietly stretched out his head and finally saw clearly what was happening outside.
There are mountains on one side and cliffs on the other.
The road was winding, and the mountain to her left was where the arrow had come from.
There were so many trees on the mountain that it was impossible to see where the people were hiding.
Sanqi was standing on the ground now, her horse had fallen. She raised her long sword and cut off the arrows while approaching them.
"Boohoo!"
An arrow was inserted sideways at their feet, and Jiang Yuhuan pulled Zhong Yuan back.
Zhongyuan also held a dagger in her hand. She stood in front of Jiang Yuhuan to deal with the arrows that kept coming.
"Zhongyuan, be careful!"
Jiang Yuhuan watched as several arrows were shot from the side, but Zhong Yuan was too busy dealing with the arrows in front of him to pay attention.
She reached for her waist, pulled out the dagger, and blocked the arrow.
But daggers are short-range weapons, and she is not good at them.
Just as she blocked an arrow, another one passed across the back of her hand and stabbed straight into Zhong Yuan's left arm.
"Zhongyuan!"
Zhongyuan's posture did not change, as if he was not aware of the pain, and he still stretched out his hands to firmly protect Jiang Yuhuan behind him.
"Princess, my slave is fine."
"Let's hide!" The place where they were standing was a raised mountain. As long as they retreated to the concave part, the archers would not be able to shoot.
"good!"
Zhongyuan protected Jiang Yuhuan and backed away, while Sanqi gradually came closer.
She holds a long sword in her hand and can share Zhongyuan's pressure. Zhongyuan only needs to kill the fish that slip through the net, and they will be safe and sound.
The archers hiding in the mountains seemed to be aware of their intentions, and the number of flying arrows gradually decreased.
The three finally got a breather and leaned against the mountain wall to inspect their injuries.
"Sanqi, help me chop off the arrow, please."
Without saying a word, Sanqiu cut it off with his sword, leaving only a few inches exposed.
Jiang Yuhuan looked at Zhongyuan's wound distressedly, "Have you brought any medicine? Why not take off the bandage now?"
"Take it with you. Let's escape first." Zhong Yuan replied.
"It's not safe here, I'll send a signal to the master."
Sanqi touched her arms. Suddenly her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked up.
"Rumble--"
A huge stone is rolling down from the top of the mountain.
"Run!" Sanqi held Jiang Yuhuan in one hand and swept forward.
Before they could run far, the ground suddenly shook and a lot of gravel fell at their feet.
Zhongyuan looked up and said solemnly: "No! There are huge rocks in this area!"
As he spoke, a stone fell behind him, making a huge noise.
Sanqi held Jiang Yuhuan tightly, constantly dodging falling stones.
Stones were piled on the ground and they had to stand on them.
Zhongyuan's face was condensed, "Sanqi, you are good at qinggong, take the princess out with you!"
Sanqi said without hesitation, "Okay."
"No!" The rocks were one after another, and the front of them was already blocked by rocks. Sanqi and her not only had to avoid falling rocks, but also had to cross an unknown length of road in front of them, so they might not have a chance to get out.
Besides, she couldn't let Zhongyuan stay alone.
Sanqi and Jiang Yuhuan flew away and kicked away a falling rock, "It's too late, the road is blocked."
She had just used Qinggong and already saw a long pile of stones in front of her. To take the princess out was equivalent to climbing over a mountain of stones.
If there were no falling rocks, she could do it, but now... she couldn't.
"Ah..." Jiang Yuhuan's exclamation brought Sanqi back from her thoughts. She turned around and saw Jiang Yuhuan's forehead was bright red.
"Princess Princess!"
Jiang Yuhuan felt like her head was buzzing. She saw Sanqi's anxious look and opening and closing of her mouth, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.
She felt dizzy and her vision became blurred.
Sanqi kept dodging with her, and there were more and more stones under their feet.
No, she needs to wake up!
Sanqi and Zhongyuan were busy avoiding falling rocks and had no time to think about their escape. She must find a way as soon as possible to lead them out of this predicament!
She bit her lip and soon tasted the smell of blood.
The pain on her lips made her temporarily conscious, and she quickly looked around for a way out.
Fortunately, there were stones to help her break through the blind spots and find a way to escape.
"There's a tree there, let's go there!"
Zhongyuan looked at where Jiang Yuhuan pointed and was surprised, "Princess, that's a cliff!"
Jiang Yuhuan said quickly: "It's better to be on a cliff than to be smashed to death. The three of us are not heavy, so the tree should be able to withstand it."
"Listen to the princess!"
Sanqi took Jiang Yuhuan and flew towards the cliff. Zhongyuan stamped his feet, kicked away the falling stones beside him, used Qinggong and followed them.
The three of them landed on the tree, and the tree trunk trembled.
Jiang Yuhuan hugged the branch, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Darling, this is a cliff of ten thousand feet!
"call out!"
The flying arrows struck again, giving them no time to rest. Sanqi waved her long sword to resist.
Jiang Yuhuan had no time to sigh. She saw the vines hanging on the cliff and gritted her teeth and said, "Zhongyuan, you are close and you can try to see if the vines are strong."
Zhongyuan instantly understood Jiang Yuhuan's intention. She reached out and pulled the vine. Seeing that the vine was not loose, she tried to hang her entire body weight on the vine. She slowly detached from the tree trunk and her whole body was suspended in the air.
Hanging steadily, she showed an expression of surprise and quickly tugged on the vines next to her.
It was not far away from the tree and still within shooting range.
Zhongyuan moved aside while confirming the firmness of the vines.
It wasn't until she avoided the range of the feather arrow that she shouted to Sanqi: "Sanqi, this one is also strong!"
Sanqi had just cut off an arrow, nodded, took Jiang Yuhuan and flew over to hang him on the vine.
Jiang Yuhuan pulled another vine and tied it around his waist, "Okay, Sanqi, let me go."
Sanqi carefully released her and turned to face Zhongyuan, "I have Xiujian in my arms."
Zhongyuan understood and reached out to take out the arrow from his sleeve.
She grabbed the vine's hand a few times and wrapped it tightly around her hand. She put the sleeve arrow in her hand and pulled the valve with her other hand.
The sleeve arrows spurted out, bursting into red smoke in the sky.
