I originally thought that taking Xie Qingyi with me would make Cheng Ning angry.
But he didn't know whether Cheng Ning was angry or not. He was almost annoyed to death.
After shooting a prey, Xie Qingyi praised it from the side, and looked back with eyes full of admiration.
It's like he did something great.
If it was Cheng Ning...she never gave up, she would only shoot a prey that was more important than him to show off to him.
...But now Cheng Ning can no longer draw her bow.
Xie Qingyi thought that Wei Yanzhou was considerate and caring about her, and she smiled broadly: "I am not tired, I can accompany your majesty on hunting, it is too late for me to be happy."
Whatever, you've already provoked me, and if you ask someone to send him back, the woman won't be able to bear it.
Xie Qingyi glanced at the sun again, it had moved to the top of her head.
The spring breeze floats, the southwest corner——
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came through the air.
Before the figure could be seen clearly, an arrow shot out from the southwest!
All changes happened in an instant, although Wei Yanzhou had a keen reaction to the changes around him.
Almost at the moment the arrow in the southwest corner was shot, the arrow in his hand also shot out.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves stopped for a moment, and Cheng Ning's roar came: "Wei Yanzhou!"
"Your Majesty!" Xie Qingyi was even more frightened. Although she was sitting on the horse, she spread her arms wide to protect Wei Yanzhou.
Cheng Ning hurriedly hurriedly watched the arrow fly towards Wei Yanzhou, but she was too far away.
In desperation, she stopped her horse.
Seize the bow and arrow from the guard on the side who has no time to react, pick up the bow, and shoot at the arrow!
If it were Cheng Ning in the past, such a seemingly difficult rescue would not be difficult for her at all.
With her skills, she had a great chance of intercepting the arrow feathers in the air.
——But she is no longer the Cheng Ning she used to be.
Pulling a bow and arrow requires strong arm strength, but her wrist was destroyed.
Therefore, the arrow only flew out a few dozen meters softly and landed on a tree trunk nearby.
Cheng Ning watched helplessly as the arrow flew towards Wei Yanzhou - and landed on Xie Qingyi's back!
'Poof -' Xie Qingyi vomited a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse: "Your Majesty!"
"Escort! Escort!"
"With assassins, all defenses, southwest corner!"
At that moment, there was a commotion all around, and all the shields were guarding Wei Yanzhou!
Cheng Ning's legs went weak and he knelt down unconsciously.
I couldn't tell whether he breathed a sigh of relief or suddenly understood what Xie Zhiyun had planned.
Xie Qingyi... is really a useful chess piece.
Wei Yanzhou caught the falling Xie Qingyi, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
Not because of this sudden assassination, but because of Xie Qingyi.
He has always been able to remain indifferent to emotions that have no reason. No matter how crazy and entangled the other person is, he won't be much touched.
Such as Xie Nianyao.
He can play tricks on occasion, but he doesn't have true feelings.
Wei Yanzhou also felt that he was cold-blooded and ruthless.
But he didn't expect that Xie Qingyi would block the arrow for him so decisively, without even hesitating or blinking.
The guard circle was in chaos and fighting.
He placed Xie Qingyi on the ground and picked up his bow.
He could clearly see the direction where the arrow had been shot. At this moment, the man was holding a sword and kept trying to charge towards him.
There was deep hatred in his eyes.
"Wei Yanzhou! Give me back my father and brother, and give back the lives of the sixty-seven men in my Li family!"
It's Li Piao.
She was as brave as a gangster who didn't care about her own safety. She only had hatred in her eyes, and she clamored to kill Wei Yanzhou.
If you don't avenge your family, you will be a child in vain.
Wei Yanzhou's expression didn't loosen at all, and his arrow-shooting hand was steady, pointing straight at Li Piao.
"No." Cheng Ning yelled, "No!"
Wei Yanzhou heard clearly, but he still let go, and the arrow flew directly to Li Piao's chest.
No chance of survival.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the ground was littered with corpses.
Cheng Ning got up from the ground and shouted: "Keep alive! She is being used!"
But in the chaos, no one listened to her.
Li Piao fell to the ground, staring at the sky with big eyes, and kept spitting out blood.
Cheng Ning walked around Wei Yanzhou and walked towards her.
Wei Yanzhou's wrist was grabbed, and his eyes were full of blood: "Who are you going towards?"
"She was being used by others," Cheng Ning glanced at Xie Qingyi: "Without the help of others, how could she sneak into the guards smoothly? I asked you to spare her life."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, cough cough cough -"
Xie Qingyi was lying on the ground, gasping for air, with a wound soaked in blood on her chest.
She kept shedding tears: "Chen, will my concubine die?"
"No, I won't let you die."
Wei Yanzhou shouted sharply: "Where is the imperial doctor?!"
Wang Xigang arrived and almost fainted from shock when he saw this scene.
Fortunately, there were imperial doctors on standby at the hunting place, and they hurried forward to examine Xie Qingyi.
At this time, all the Imperial Guards came to report: "Your Majesty! All the assassins have been killed. The leader, Li Piao, the eldest daughter of the Li family, has died."
The aura on Wei Yanzhou's body was sinister and low: "All the female family members of the Li family have been sentenced to exile. Why is Li Piao here?"
The commander of the Forbidden Army kept dripping with cold sweat: "Yes, he escaped while in exile. Yu Mian, the Minister of Dali Temple, is investigating the reason."
When he heard that Cao Cao had arrived, Yu Mian rolled down from his horse and said, "Hui, your majesty, it's because the subordinates didn't investigate. The people below were afraid of disturbing your majesty and concealed the fact that Li Piao had escaped. Now he has committed suicide!"
As he spoke, his subordinates dragged up a corpse with its throat cut.
Cheng Ning took a look and saw that it was the one talking to Xie Zhiyun in the dense forest.
She laughed ferociously: "What a suicide. Is it really suicide, or is someone murdering someone to silence him?"
Kill and silence?
Yu Mian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean, my dear?"
"Just now in the grove, I heard that Prime Minister Xie had a secret conversation with your subordinate, and they said that they were going to act according to the plan."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Xie Zhiyun's voice came from far away: "Wei Chen has been drinking tea in the tent, how can he talk to others? What's more, Wei Chen doesn't even know the people of Dali Temple."
He knelt down in front of Wei Yanzhou, saw Xie Qingyi's injuries, and sighed: "If I am involved in this matter, what is my purpose? Is it possible that I want my daughter to get injured like this?"
After all, he had lost the opportunity and the witness was dead. As long as he insisted that it had nothing to do with it, Cheng Ning would not be able to put the blame on him.
Cheng Ning chuckled: "The Prime Minister is too humble. Your Majesty feels distressed when Hui Concubine is injured. How can you think of the Prime Minister?"
"Cheng Ning!" Wei Yanzhou shouted sharply: "Who would use their lives to plan the layout?!"
Xie Zhiyun lowered his eyes, curled his lips, and smiled successfully.
When he raised his eyes, he looked sad again: "What Wei Chen has not done, he has never done. Concubine Xi does not need to blame Wei Chen for the sake of past grudges."
When Cheng Ning was set on fire, he would not speak politely.
It was useless no matter how Wei Yanzhou scolded him: "The Prime Minister is determined that everyone is dead and no one can find out your thoughts, right?"
Fu Youting's voice appeared in the air, standing next to Cheng Ning.
He lowered his eyebrows and caught a glimpse of Cheng Ning's right hand shaking slightly, and frowned in displeasure: "What's wrong with the hand?"
