Chapter 218 Are there assassins?
Xie Yuan ran briskly in the withered grass, avoiding other people's sight along the way, until he saw Prince Mu He wandering aimlessly on horseback with many people in the distance.

She's far away, but she can't get any closer.

If you get closer, you can easily be spotted when you make a sound.At this time, taking advantage of the distance, it is difficult to distinguish the direction of the sound.Stop when it makes a noise, and then hide in another place.

Xie Yuan squatted down, really like a small animal, allowing himself to hide silently in the grass.Through the gap between the blades of grass, I looked at the crowd in the distance.

A gust of wind blew by, and the withered grass leaves trembled, scratching her face itchy.

Xie Yuan slowly found the whistle from the interlayer of his belt, looked at it, took a deep breath, and blew it by his mouth.

A crisp and childish voice came out, much louder and louder than she had imagined, Xie Yuan was so frightened that he quickly relaxed, bent down, and observed the people in front of him.

Several people heard it... looking around for the source of the sound with their necks raised.Then discuss with your partner.

After the discussion, he reported to Prince Muhe, and saw that person pointing in the direction where Xie Yuan was.

Everyone, including Prince Mu He, looked towards Xie Yuan.Then he shook the reins and galloped here...

They all rode horses, and Xie Yuan had only two legs.

When Xie Yuan watched them riding strong horses, holding bows and arrows, and approaching her in a line, a sense of fear naturally rose in her heart.

The feeling of being a prey is too bad...

She lowered her body, moved quickly from the grass with her hands and feet, and ran with all her strength.

Be sure to distance yourself before they catch up!Otherwise, once they got close, it would be easy for people to find that she was a person, not a prey, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

Fortunately, the mountainous terrain is complex. Although the terrain is relatively flat, it is still difficult for the horses to keep running on it.

Xie Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and ran non-stop, choosing places with complicated terrain to hide.She waited until the pursuers had strayed off course, or moved away, before she blew a second time.

That's it...after blowing three times in a row.Those people are already very close to the place where the trap is set.

But... too many people followed.

Xie Yuan lay on the ground, looked at them, and couldn't help frowning with a headache... Not to mention that it is impossible for so many people to fake an accident.

The key is that she alone, against so many people, whether she can win or not is a question.

She was stumped, lying on the ground without moving for a long time... I don't know if I should blow the whistle for the last time, and how to blow it...

At this moment, Xie Yuan felt a slight sound of dry grass being trampled on the other side.

She hurriedly looked behind vigilantly, and saw a black figure in the distance carrying a bow and arrow, stooping, and retreating furtively towards her.

Xie Yuan held his breath, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he could recognize it from the side face that occasionally appeared when the man occasionally looked around.

Isn't he the assassin who assassinated Shen Liuzhen?
That assassin was hunted down by Shen Liuzhen's guard of honor... Could it be that he was never caught, but instead chased here?

Xie Yuan looked into the distance... Sure enough, the guards of honor were riding horses to the east and looking around.

And to the south, Prince Muhe and the others are also slowly approaching her...

Xie Yuan cursed in his heart...there are too many fucking people!

The trap is nearby, but it is estimated that she will be discovered before Prince Muhe is lured there!
Xie Yuan gritted his teeth anxiously, looking at the slowly approaching assassin for a while, and Prince Mu He and the others for a while.

If things go on like this, the assassin will find her first, and then alarm the others.

Xie Yuan's heart was beating "thud-thump" in his chest because of tension, it was deafening, and it felt like the ground was startled by her heartbeat.

No...you have to act first!
Before the assassin finds her, shoot that person to death with one arrow!Anyway, he is hiding his head and tail now, if he can die quietly in the local area...

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan stared at the assassin without blinking, and slowly and cautiously took off the bow on his back.

She raised her body, drew out an arrow, and set it up silently, fully drawing the bow, aiming at the one not far away through the gaps between branches and weeds, because she was so focused on avoiding the guard of honor that she didn't realize that she was Assassins in danger.

Xie Yuan's hand was very steady, the wind gently brushed through the weeds and rustled, her slender and strong fingers were hooked on the bowstring, as soon as she let go... the opponent would be shot in the neck by an arrow and die instantly!

The moment she was about to let go, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind, and a thought suddenly came to her, and she immediately stood up from the grass, with a tall and straight figure, like a rainbow, and loosened her fingers that were full of bowstrings...

The arrow shot towards the far away, closer and closer Prince Mu He!
I saw the arrow piercing through the air, and with a "swish", it pierced a tree next to a general!The arrow tail made a low humming due to the violent shaking.

Xie Yuan immediately squatted down and lay down in the grass, his whole body stuck to the ground, his eyes gleamed with a deep light like a leopard, looking at the assassin not far away.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!" The generals who reacted shouted, the voices were full of voices, and it was a mess.

The assassin who wanted to avoid the guard of honor was startled when he heard this movement, and turned his head to look to the south. Many people who saw Prince Muhe shouted and looked in this direction.

He quickly looked in the direction of the guard of honor...

Because someone shouted, the honor guard who was looking for people in the west was also attracted at this time, and they all looked here.

The assassin was stunned, he didn't seem to understand why he was suddenly discovered.

But there was no time for him to think about it. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around immediately, and ran towards the north under the cover of the terrain.

How can there be no reason for such a large movement and movement not to be discovered?Instantly attracted two people to hunt together.

The members of the guard of honor and Prince Mu He's people gathered together, shouting something to each other in Xianbei language from a distance on the horse.

Xie Yuan thought to himself: Don't even think about it, it must be exchanging information, saying that the assassin's previous assassination of the imperial envoy Shen Liuzhen failed, and they hunted all the way to this place or something.

Xie Yuan, who had been lying on the ground nervously, had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

She looked back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart without guilt: It's not easy to be an assassin, so you can ask for blessings, brother.

A burst of rapid and intensive sound of horseshoes quickly passed by Xie Yuan's right...

The "buzzing" sound of the ground vibration overwhelmed Xie Yuan's tense heartbeat, which miraculously made Xie Yuan's muscles relax and his heart became more peaceful.

She looked at Prince Muhe with deep and calm eyes like a leopard.

And at this moment... there are only four soldiers left by his side...
