Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 209 The Archer

However, what was faster than the blade was a sharp cry that pierced through the air.

It was a sharp sound that almost stung everyone's ears, followed by a miserable howl.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see the steel knife in the hand of the Imperial Guard soldier who raised the knife to kill him fell to the ground, he held his wrist and howled, and when he looked closely, he found that his wrist was actually shot by an arrow. Wearing it, the blood kept flowing out.

This is--

Shang Ruyi's eyes widened in amazement, while another imperial guard beside her shouted in horror: "There is an enemy—"

Before the word "enemy" was finished, it stopped abruptly with a muffled sound. Shang Ruyi looked up and saw that his eyes were protruding like dead fish, his body was stiff and straight, and on his neck was an arrow. It shot straight through his throat, and there was a rattling sound in his throat, and finally, he fell limply to the ground.

The eyes of a guard next to him were red, and he immediately turned to look at the other side: "Who—"

Before he finished speaking, another arrow shot directly between his eyebrows.

"There are assassins!"

"careful!"

At this moment, the people around them fully reacted, but their reaction was not as quick as the arrows that responded to the sound. In just a split second, several cold lights came over the wind, surrounding the guards around Shang Ruyi. Jun fell to the ground.

All of a sudden, her side was empty!
Shang Ruyi was stunned by this sudden change, she subconsciously turned her head and looked across the river.

The people around may not have seen it clearly, but just now, the people who were hit by the arrows were all around her, and she saw more clearly than anyone else where the arrows came from - just to the north of the barracks, In the dark night on the other side of the river.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's gaze was as sharp as a falcon, and he found a spot in the dark night.

That bit of cold light was like the only star in the dark night sky.

Then, she saw clearly that around the cold light, a tall and straight figure was gradually revealed. It seemed to be a thin man. At this moment, he was leaning sideways, drawing his bow and nodding his arrows. The arrows on his fingertips were like starbursts. It shines brightly in the dark night, but it also condenses the power of Wanjun Thunder. As soon as he lets go, someone will fall under his arrow again immediately!

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised.

Not only was she astonished at why this person appeared, and why this person shot and killed the guards around her, more importantly, after a closer look, she found that there seemed to be many black shadows moving on the other side of the river. There is more than one person, but there is only one point in Hanguang!
In other words, all the arrows just now were shot by him alone!
In such a short period of time, shooting the targets in the dark one after another, without missing a single one, without any deviation - this, I am afraid, is not much worse than the descendant Yang Youji!

Could it be Yu Wenye?
As soon as this name came to mind, Shang Ruyi's heart beat a little heavy, but immediately, she denied the guess.

Although they are all sharpshooters, Yu Wenye's archery is more outstanding in terms of strength, he is a domineering existence that can shock the world with one arrow on the battlefield, and this person's arrow style is more light, agile and ingenious.

But who is he?

Only this thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately put it behind her. At this moment, it was too late to care about who the others were. The most important thing right now was——

run!
Seeing the people around her back away in horror, she hastily kicked away the corpse in front of her, and rushed out while taking advantage of the chaos!

When Kou Yunliang saw that she was about to run away, he immediately shouted: "Don't let her run away, kill her!"

Although the imperial guards and soldiers who were still on the outskirts heard the panic screams at the door of the big tent, they didn't know what happened for a while. They only saw the general's wife rushing out of the crowd, and the superintendent shouted to kill her again. Naturally, she didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly chased after him.

Suddenly, another cold light came through the sky.

The imperial guard who was chasing the most closely screamed and fell down clutching his neck, but the few people chasing behind were stunned by this scene, and fell several steps for a while.

At this time, Shang Ruyi completely understood one thing.

This ghostly archer in the dark night is here to help me!

As if to prove her idea, a few more arrows flew towards him, and the people behind Shang Ruyi all screamed and rolled over while covering the places where the arrows were shot on their bodies. The screams resounded throughout the valley!
Although she didn't know who the other party was, but at this moment, at least she was given a way out. Shang Ruyi let her heart down a little, but she didn't stop walking. She ran forward quickly, and rushed sideways from the middle of the two fences in a short while. out.

And the barracks behind him had long been frightened into chaos by the rain of arrows.

Especially Kou Yunliang, he screamed for the people around him to protect him, but when he saw Shang Ruyi rushing out of the crowd, he immediately pointed at the people around him and yelled at them to chase after him, the guards and soldiers around him were at a loss, In the chaos, Shang Ruyi had already rushed out of the barracks, leaving the hustle and bustle far behind.

She ran desperately, the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing seemed to be amplified countless times at this moment, and it seemed so harsh in this valley.

And inexplicably, she could still hear footsteps on the other side of the river.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that little cold star, which was walking alongside her all the time!
This is--

Shang Ruyi was puzzled, but she understood a little better that this person was definitely not Yu Wenye, and even though he had rescued herself just now, he had been holding the arrow alongside her now, obviously, his target was also himself!

However, he does not shoot arrows at himself, so what is he going to do?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi raised her head and looked forward again, and suddenly understood - this Luo River will suddenly make a huge turning point after passing Luokoudu, flowing northward, and Huangtuling is just after the turning point of the river. To the east, so after crossing this turning point, people who were originally on the south bank of the Luo River can get close without having to cross the river, and even climb Huangtu Ridge!

And Huangtu Ridge is where Xingluocang is located.

A flash of light flashed in Shang Ruyi's mind, as if she understood something. Of course, she kept walking, while running, searching quickly in the dark. Soon, she saw a small road ahead. Turn to the south!

She immediately ran to the path.

However, the moment she just turned the corner, she saw a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and an arrow was directly nailed to her foot!
Shang Ruyi's breathing became heavier, she stopped, and slowly turned around to look at the other side of the river. The night was getting darker, and the night was getting darker. She watched a little cold light cross a beautiful arc, and she stopped again. .

Once again, aimed at myself!
This is the other party preventing her from running down this path!
Therefore, the other party wanted to force her to move on!
And now, she has already guessed who the other party is—even if she doesn't know who it is, she also knows where this sharpshooter with a hundred shots comes from.

Just ahead, the majestic and tall Huangtu Ridge!

He is a person from Xingluocang, that is, a member of Wang Gangjun!

Shang Ruyi held her breath, watching the arrow flashing coldly in the night, but it was aimed at herself motionlessly. In the silent mountain, only the dull beating of her heart was left, which almost made her stand still. unstable.

what to do?She cannot escape.

Although she escaped from Kou Yunliang's pursuit, she came here this time to find Yu Wenye. Now Yu Wenye's whereabouts are unknown, and she doesn't even know how miserable Yuwen's family will fall under Kou Yunliang's trap, but if she If he is captured by Wang Gangjun again, then the next thing, I'm afraid it will be so terrible that he dare not think about it anymore.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi gritted her teeth and turned to leave again.

However, this time, the arrow did not fly over!

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, thinking that the other party let her go, and hurriedly turned to run away, but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a tall black figure, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"what!"

She let out a quick low cry, but before she fell, one hand grabbed her, pulled her back violently, and fell into a solid chest!
In a hurry, Shang Ruyi looked up——

A pair of shining bright eyes looked at her with a smile in the night.
