C49 Traitor

"Boom ~ ~ ~"

An arrow was stabbed into the tree trunk behind them. The arrow was extremely powerful. They could still hear it even from half a meter away.

The faces of the two instantly paled. Li Qingying vigilantly looked around him, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, outrageously quiet, to the point where he couldn't even hear the sounds of flying birds.

"Why ?" Li Qingying muttered softly, his eyebrows knitted together even more, holding onto his bow and arrow, looking around.

Shangguan Qian's expression was especially solemn as he listened carefully to the surrounding sounds. However, the surroundings were so quiet that it made people feel afraid.

However, from this, it could be determined that the person who used the bow and arrow was an expert. Who could it be?

"Let's go!"

Li Qingying looked at her deeply, and turned the horse around anxiously. The trees in the forest grew all over the place, so the horses were unable to play a role in it.

Furthermore, in his panic, he did not know where to run to, so Li Qingying could only randomly find a small path.

But at this moment, a faint sound came from behind them. The moment the two's breath came in, they seemed to have discovered it.

"Qian Er, bend down..."

Just as his voice faded away, the sound of wind breaking could be heard. The two of them had their expressions changed as they quickly sat on the horses.

But they were wrong. The arrows were not aimed at them, but at the horses.

The horse howled as it rushed forward like a madman. Li Qingying quickly hugged her and pressed down on her. He pulled on the reins tightly, but it was useless.

The winding road, the mad rampage of the horses, their clothes torn by the branches, but the horse had no intention of stopping.

Very quickly, Shangguan Qian's scream came out, "Li Qingying, jump horse, quickly jump horse!"

Li Qingying didn't even have time to react before he fell down while pulling Shangguan Qian along.

A mournful cry rang out, and then with a plop, the horse fell into the river at the bottom of the mountain.

The two of them rolled in the grass, Shangguan Qian's entire body felt like it was being crushed.

The pain was excruciating, and his clothes were in a sorry state. The tree branches had cut all sorts of Dao Children.

Although the wounds were small, they were numerous and extremely painful.

"How are you?" Li Qingying seemed to fall hard enough as well. After a long while, he finally stood up, limped to her side, and helped her up.

Shangguan Qian frowned, and looked at his feet, "What happened to your feet?"

"I twisted it a little. It must have been the wrong place." He stood up, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Qian Er, how do we go back?"

"Li Qingying, don't you think that's strange?" Shangguan Qian said in a bland voice, as he stood up in a sorry state, "When we were attacked, there wasn't even a single guard in the surrounding area. It was as if we were isolated by someone."

"You mean someone was after me?" Li Qingying looked at her in shock, his expression somewhat astonished, but he quickly discovered that something was amiss.

However, the two of them were covered in injuries, and he didn't know what the situation was or who had done it. If he went back hastily and bumped into the person who had attacked them, wouldn't he be doomed?

Li Qingying stood at the edge of the cliff and asked with some distress, "What should we do? I can't go back, can I jump into a river? "

"Don't be depressed, there will always be a way." Shangguan Qian frowned, she did not expect the other party to be so strong, and so brazen at that.

It had to be said that Li Fengyi's techniques were ruthless enough to trap them in the outer circle, preventing everyone from entering. Enter and slowly behead them.

Shangguan Qian was more or less depressed in the bottom of his heart. He had thought that he would help Li Qingying, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in this as well.

"Why don't we go back?" Li Qingying suggested, "Could it be that he can surround us like this?"

"Yes, he did indeed use such a method. We can't go back." Shangguan Qian spoke word by word, with a solemn look on his face, "Forget it, I won't be able to leave anyway, so I might as well rest for a while, until they come, before thinking of a way out."

"When they come, aren't we dead as well?" Li Qingying self-deprecatingly said. She sat down beside her, "Qian Er, did I implicate you?"

"Yes." Shangguan Qian didn't hesitate at all, "It was just my own choice. Earlier, I saw two guards sneaking around secretly and then following them secretly, and I saw them aiming at you."

"Silly girl, shouldn't you have run away when encountering this kind of situation?" Li Qingying's mouth hooked up into a smile, "You can't be liking me, right? Otherwise, why would you help me? "

Shangguan Qian glared at him, curling her lips, "You're thinking too much."

"But dying together can also be considered fate. It's just that I feel that I'm rather sorry for you."

"Li Qingying, you are right. You pestered me, just so that you could get close to Li Fengyi, right? " Shangguan Qian suddenly raised his head, and suddenly asked a question without any hesitation. He did not hesitate at all, and without any modifications, he asked the question straightforwardly.

Therefore, Li Qingying was stunned, he stared at the lady in front of him blankly and laughed dryly.

"It's not good for a woman to be this smart."

Shangguan Qian smiled faintly. She had already guessed it when Li Qingying had climbed over the wall to look for her.

At that time, Li Qingying definitely did not come to find her, but because someone saw her, he called her name out of desperation.

Furthermore, Li Qingying did not seem like he was indifferent on the surface. These were just his masks.

"Hehe, aren't you curious about who sent this time?"

"Who else could it be other than him? It's just that I pity you." Li Qingying's eyes were deep as he lowered his head.

"Don't be so dejected, how do you know we won't be able to get out?"

Shangguan Qian laughed, she did not believe that they would die here.

"Why did you choose to marry Li Fengyi?" he said suddenly, with a note of disappointment in his voice.

"Because I'm here to ?" The rest of his words stuck in his throat, as he did not say them out loud. Instead, he silently sighed.

At this moment, light footsteps came from the bushes. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was clearly heard by the two people with tensed nerves.

The two of them looked at each other, and Shangguan Qian pointed to the trees at the side, carefully moving forward.

Li Qingying also carefully dodged it, and his tone carried a bit of nervousness, "They're here!"

"Don't make a sound."

The two of them held their breaths, their hearts pounding and their nerves taut.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and the two became more and more nervous. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

"Eighth Prince, are you here? I am Qin Hao, are you there? "

"It's Qin Hao." Li Qingying's face revealed joy, he immediately stood up, "I'm here."

Shangguan Qian's expression froze, she never thought that Li Qingying would actually reply directly to him.

"You're crazy!" She grinded her teeth as she cursed, and her face was so pale that it was completely devoid of blood.

"It's Qin Hao, one of us."

Li Qingying happily opened his mouth and directly walked out of the forest, asking, "How did you find me?"

"I was already nearby to begin with, and when I heard the howls of the horses, I came over. Eighth Prince, what happened to your leg?" Qin Hao asked nervously.

"I twisted it a bit. It's fine, did you see anyone suspicious when you came here?"

Qin Hao shook his head, his expression was a little surprised as he asked: "What suspicious person? What kind of thieves did Eighth Prince encounter? "

At this time, Shangguan Qian also walked out and stood behind Li Qingying.

"So the princess is here too." Qin Hao stared at her deeply with a strange expression.

"Yeah, I'm with Eighth Prince."

"Then let's hurry back. They should be getting impatient."

Now, the sky was indeed about to turn dark, and the dim yellow sun was shining on Qin Hao's face.

Shangguan Qian pulled Li Qingying, who was about to follow Qin Hao, and asked with a serious face: "General Qin, did you come over because you heard the horse's howls?"

Qin Hao's eyes flashed, and nodded while smiling, "Yes, that is indeed the case."

"Then how are you so sure it's the Eighth Prince? I remember the first thing you said was Eighth Prince coming out, right, General Qin? "

Qin Hao's smile immediately disappeared, his eyes revealed a trace of viciousness, the silver blade flashed and pierced towards Li Qingying.

Li Qingying didn't manage to react at all, and stood blankly in place.

Shangguan Qian fiercely pulled him, then threw a handful of dirt on Qin Hao's face and turned to run.

But very quickly, he felt a pain on his waist, and was kicked to the ground by Qin Hao.

"Qin Hao, you..." Li Qingying endured the pain, placing Shangguan Qian behind him, "You're actually Li Fengyi's spy?"

Qin Hao's face revealed a mocking smile, holding onto the blade, he slowly approached them, "Eighth Prince, it's not too late to learn about this now, it's at least better than dying without knowing anything."

"You were the one who shot the arrow, right?"

"Of course it's me." Qin Hao approached them step by step. With a sinister expression, he looked towards Shangguan Qian.

"Originally, I had planned to spare your life. However, it was you who did not cherish it, so you can't blame me for this."

"Qin Hao! The Crown Prince and I have treated you well, how dare you betray us! It doesn't matter if I die, but Shangguan Qian has to survive! "

"Now, no matter who it is, you will all have to die!" With a ruthless expression on his face, Qin Hao raised the blade in his hand and ruthlessly stabbed at Li Qingying.

Just at this time, a human figure rushed over, with one kick off the dagger, he grabbed Qin Hao by the neck.

With a light thump sound, Qin Hao collapsed onto the ground.

Before they could recover from the shock, they stared blankly at the dead Qin Hao.

"It's you?" Li Qingying shouted, his expression was strange.

The one who came to save them was none other than the Young Eunuch beside Ouyang Jin.

"If it wasn't me, then who was it? Who does Eighth Prince wish it to be? " Xiao Shengzi spoke indifferently, his gaze landing on Shangguan Qian, "We have dealt with the people outside."

Shangguan Qian frowned, in truth, she felt that she was dead for sure. When she first got the list from Nightingale, she had already seen Qin Hao's name.

It was just that he did not expect Li Qingying, that idiot, to actually get out after being called by others!

It's just that the appearance of the Xiao Shengzi was really a variable and appeared in such a timely manner.

"Why are you here?" Li Qingying should still be angry at him for feeding him snacks, her expression carried warmth and anger.

Xiao Shengzi glanced at him and spoke slowly. "If it wasn't for us rushing over in time, you would only have a corpse left."

"Besides, if you're not under the princess' wing, we won't care about you!"

Li Qingying looked at Shangguan Qian in shock, unable to guess the relationship between her and the Kingdom Advisor. In the morning, she seemed to be especially afraid of the latter.

Shangguan Qian's expression became serious, "Eunuch Xiao Shengzi, he asked you to come."

"Of course, I have ordered me to come and save you. Hurry up and go, someone will find out about this soon."

Shangguan Qian glanced at Qin Hao's corpse, his face had a strange smile, then he walked over and stuffed something into's arms.

"Where did you go?" Li Qingying asked quickly.

"Nothing." Shangguan Qian caught up with Xiao Shengzi with big strides, his eyes revealing a trace of profoundness.

Looks like I can't be so reckless next time. If Xiao Shengzi doesn't appear, she would already be dead.

"Princess, this grandpa has already made arrangements. He said that if you want to protect yourself, don't interfere anymore." Xiao Shengzi spoke in all seriousness, his expression extremely solemn.

Shangguan Qian nodded her head, of course she knew the advantages and disadvantages, if Li Fengyi realized that she was involved, she would definitely not have a good ending.

"Qian Er knows, Qian Er has never met Li Qingying, and you have never seen me either, do you understand?" Shangguan Qian asked.

Li Qingying was obviously a little confused, his mouth twitched, "What is it?"

"You were the one who was attacked. I never appeared by your side." Shangguan Qian said in a serious tone with a serious expression.

"Got it."

Only after hearing Li Qingying's affirmation did she dare to leave, and ran in the opposite direction.

Xiao Shengzi nodded his head in satisfaction and praised, "Princess is a smart woman, you can do it easily."
