Chapter 46 Autumn Hunting (2)

Heavy rain came suddenly.

Qin Zhiheng's hand holding the bow and arrow turned white, with a look of disbelief and faint regret.

Qin Mian stood on the horse, looking down at him from top to bottom with a cold expression.

Qin Zhiheng's jaw tightened, and he stood up slowly: "Do you know what you're doing?"

Qin Mian looked at him coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"King killing is a serious crime of losing your head! Now I don't have to pursue it later."

"Heh..." Qin Mian sneered: "Is it a big crime to lose your head... Why is it a big crime for me to take back what belongs to me?"

The two brothers looked at each other in the rain.

"Father's edict to pass on the throne is in your hands, Qin Zhiheng, let's open the skylight and speak brightly, I am not as good as you in playing tricks, you have been pretending so well all these years that I always feel that you are not as good as me, even my father thinks so, Who would have thought that you could endure for more than 20 years!"

Qin Mian looked at him, with hatred and sadness in his eyes, but now that he had set foot on this road, he could not turn back. Today, he either walks out alive, or he is buried here. The point of living one.

Qin Zhiheng's eyes were deep, he scanned the surroundings slowly, and said, "Father has no edict at all."

"You talk nonsense!" Qin Mian angrily said, "The throne is mine! It's you! It's you who resorted to despicable means! You let Meng Fanzhong frame me, made me condemned by the world, and made me fall into the quagmire. It's all because of you!" What the hell!"

Qin Zhiheng took a deep breath: "Okay, if you want the throne, I'll give it to you."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the next moment, Qin Mian laughed loudly, his voice was sharp: "You give it to me? I need it from you? After today, the throne will be mine. Do you think I will cherish your charity?"

Qin Zhiheng said coldly: "Are you going to be charged with killing the king?"

"Killing the king?" Qin Mian sneered: "There is an edict, I don't call it killing the king, but setting things right. My good brother..."

Qin Mian exhausted his patience, drew out his long knife, and pointed at Qin Zhiheng: "Brother, I will personally send you on the road!"

The long knife was swung suddenly, Qin Zhiheng despaired, closed his eyes, but heard a sound of sharp blade piercing the air mixed in the rain, and swung the long knife on the spot, he opened his eyes suddenly, Qin Mian turned his head immediately, but saw a knife in the air Short crossbow arrows shot towards him. This kind of arrow crossbow was extremely fast within a certain distance. Qin Mian couldn't dodge and was hit by an arrow on his left shoulder. He couldn't help but grunted and looked around.

Lu Chengfeng flew down from the tree, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, his sharp eyes fell to this side.

Qin Mian covered the wound, eyes resentful: "Who are you!"

Lu Chengfeng didn't answer, the rain drenched her clothes, she pursed her lips tightly, and walked forward step by step.

Qin Mian ordered: "Kill her!"

More than a dozen masked guards rushed forward bravely. Lu Chengfeng's footsteps were blocked, and his eyes burst out with cold killing intent. She moved very fast, and the man in black who stepped forward was cleanly cut his throat. Her eyes followed the surrounding people Man in black.

Lu Chengfeng hadn't smelled the smell of blood for a long time, she was in a state of extreme excitement and high tension, she seemed to see Subei, but these were just unknown people.

"Do you want my life..." Lu Chengfeng smiled darkly: "Come and take it, as long as you have the ability!"

More than a dozen people surrounded the people, the distance was too close and arrows and crossbows were no longer the best weapons for attacking, everyone rushed forward, Lu Chengfeng dropped the crossbow, raised his long knife in his hand, wrapped the first striker and pushed him forward Then, with the knife in his hand, he slashed his way through the quagmire covered in scars.

She didn't say anything, her body was stained red with blood, she was panting heavily, her eyes slowly shifted from Qin Zhiheng to Qin Mian, he looked at Lu Chengfeng coldly at the best shooting distance of the crossbow.

He said fiercely: "Guess, is your sword faster, or my crossbow faster?"

Lu Chengfeng really stopped in his tracks.

She raised her gaze for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "His Royal Highness Su Wang..."

The heavy rain washed over the wound on her body, her whole body was shivering and hurting, she held on, and said with a smile: "Look back, where is the emperor..."

Qin Mian turned around suddenly, but saw that Qin Zhiheng was still there, and the two of them were startled.

Suddenly, the sound of a long knife piercing the air came from behind, Qin Mian turned back and pressed the crossbow without hesitation, and suddenly a person rushed up from behind, and before he could even see his face clearly, the man had already put the knife on Qin Mian's chest.

The situation suddenly changed.

Lu Chengfeng fell heavily on the ground, she was exhausted, the heavy rain made her have to close her eyes, the first rain after autumn, it was freezing cold.

Xie Jiuxiao rushed to the front and saw that she was wounded all over, with a short crossbow stuck in her chest, her head was empty, her face was pale and she knelt down, her voice trembling: "Sister... sister..."

She wanted to speak, but her body hurt everywhere. She had never been injured so badly in her life. Her hands were clenched tightly. She tried hard to open her eyes, but she fainted heavily again.

Xie Jiuxiao picked him up and looked back. The guards who followed Xie Jiuxiao had already controlled the situation. He looked gloomy and led him away without saying a word.
-
This hunting was accompanied by an imperial doctor, Xie Jiuxiao was waiting by the bed, the imperial doctor burned the dagger hot, drew the lamp closer, and told the people nearby: "Hold her down, I'm going to draw the arrow."

Lu Chengfeng was held down by someone, and he groaned in pain as the imperial doctor moved. The veins on his forehead bulged, she couldn't help but grasp something, her nails were embedded in her flesh, Xie Jiuxiao held her hand tightly, not daring to vent her breath.

The treatment went smoothly, and Lu Chengfeng fell into a coma.

When Qin Zhiheng came in, the imperial doctor was preparing a prescription. Xie Jiuxiao was sitting by the bed, and when he heard the movement, he glanced over, but didn't respond.

Qin Zhiheng approached and looked at the pale-faced person on the bed, the imperial doctor stepped forward with great insight: "Your Majesty."

Qin Zhiheng said: "How?"

"It's very dangerous. If the crossbow misses half an inch, it won't be able to save it."

Qin Zhiheng didn't say anything, just looked at the person for a while, and then went out without a sound.

All the people who were hunting today have been ordered to leave, Qin Mian was imprisoned in the prison, and all the people are waiting to be punished.

When Xie Yunqian arrived after receiving the news, it was already dark, the carriage entered the paddock, Xie Yunqian came with an umbrella, Qin Zhiheng changed into clean clothes, and stood waiting under the porch.

"I have met the emperor." Xie Yunqian saluted.

Qin Zhiheng said: "You are here."

Xie Yunqian nodded and said, "I'll go in and have a look."

Qin Zhiheng nodded, Xie Yunqian pushed the door open and entered.

The lights in the room were dim, and Lu Chengfeng lay quietly on the bed. Xie Jiuxiao seemed tired, and leaned against the bed with his eyes closed. He held Lu Chengfeng's hand with one hand, and the back of his hand was puddled with blood.

Xie Yunqian stared at the hands tightly held by the two with deep eyes, but Xie Jiuxiao woke up when he noticed the movement: "Brother..."

Xie Yun said kindly, and approached a little closer, the person on the bed had already changed into dry clothes, but even after changing into clean clothes, there were still a few spots of blood seeping, she frowned slightly.

The matter was already like this, it would be superfluous to ask any more, Xie Yunqian just exhorted a few times and didn't say anything more.

Xie Jiuxiao's eyes fell on Lu Chengfeng on the bed, he unconsciously clenched it tighter, and let out a low cry, Lu Chengfeng groaned and frowned in pain.

She was dragged into a sea of ​​blood, and the sky was filled with bloody heat. She couldn't break free, and couldn't wake up.

Tens of thousands of dead souls in Pingyong City stared at her quietly, and the sharp knife stabbed her body into tens of thousands.

Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng heard someone calling her.

She turned her head suddenly, but it was the elder sister and the third younger sister who opened their mouths: "Why are you still alive?"

elder sister……

ride the wind... ride the wind

Someone is calling her.

Lu Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes, panting violently in the suffocation, she settled down for a while, then looked into a pair of worried and joyful eyes, Xie Jiuxiao said softly: "Sister..."

It was him.

Lu Chengfeng smiled weakly and said, "Jiuxiao."

Xie Jiuxiao clenched his hands, "I'm here."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help looking over it, stared at it for a while, and said in a daze, "Did I get hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes, opened them again with difficulty, and said, "...well done."

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't speak, but just stared at the person.

Lu Chengfeng pulled his lower lip and said: "...I lost, I didn't catch a single prey, do you have any request? Or if you want to ask anything, now... I can answer you."

In this endless exhaustion, she quietly looked at Xie Jiuxiao.

Ask something.

she thought to herself.

Let's go after asking.

Her eyes flickered unobservedly, the fragility of that moment flashed by, her hands were covered with blood, her thoughts were not right...

"I want you to promise me one thing." Xie Jiuxiao stared at her intently, his eyes were strangely thick, the eyes were too naked, and Lu Chengfeng sank into them.

"You said."

"From now on, my own life will come first in everything. His life may be precious, but it is far less important than you...not as important as you."

Lu Chengfeng looked directly at the person, remained silent for a while, and said, "...OK."
