Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 28 The Racecourse Attack (1)
As soon as Chu Ning got into the carriage, Xie Ziyu grabbed him and fell into his arms, but seeing him put his lips next to her ear, he asked in a low voice, "Did you enjoy watching the show?"

"I would also like to thank Your Highness for your cooperation." Chuning smiled softly.

"If I don't come, how will this play be performed?" Xie Ziyu asked, putting his arms around her waist.

"Three women in one play, not to mention so many women, is your Highness still worried that the play won't last?" Chu Ning blinked, "But Chu Yan has a deep affection for Your Highness, and as a younger sister, I don't even like watching it." I can bear it."

Xie Ziyu kissed Chuning's lips, curled his lips together and said, "Madam is really kind, if I see someone who is deeply in love with Madam, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to lock my wife in the room and have fun every night." Xie Ziyu whispered in Chuning's ear, his voice was soft and charming.

Chu Ning stretched out his hand and squeezed Xie Ziyu's waist hard, causing him to cry out in pain. Chu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness is such a beast, I don't know if people know about it. Can you keep your fame in this life?"

"What do I want to be famous in this life?" Xie Ziyu chuckled, turned over and pressed Chuning on the thick and soft blanket, only to hear him say with a smile, "I only want you."

The mask on her face was torn off, and a pair of slender hands penetrated into her skirt. Chuning quickly grabbed his hands, her voice was lowered, but it sounded like she was gnashing her teeth: "Xie Ziyu!"

"Huh?" Xie Ziyu responded, leaning over and kissing her lips.

Chu Ning was breathless from the kiss, and managed to break free from him, put his hands on his chest, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What did you promise me?"

"Before you formally marry into Prince Rong's mansion, won't you have intercourse?" Xie Ziyu asked after thinking about it.

"Then what are you doing now?" Chuning raised an eyebrow.

"This is not a room, this is a carriage." Xie Ziyu chuckled.

Chu Ning never expected Xie Ziyu to answer so shamelessly, and suddenly felt powerless.

Xie Ziyu smiled, stretched out his hand to help her up, and straightened her skirt and hair, then said in a low voice: "Okay, I won't trouble you anymore, they intend to target you today, so be careful."

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me yet." Chuning nodded.

"Your Highness, the racecourse is here." After a while, the coachman's voice rang out from outside the car.

Chu Ning put the mask back on, Xie Ziyu got out of the car first, Chuning lifted the curtain, leaned out, handed Xie Ziyu his hand, and got out of the car easily, without looking up, she could already feel the full meaning of all roads gaze.

This horse farm is a royal horse farm, built outside the imperial capital city, covering a very large area, specially for dignitaries and nobles to spend their leisure time, so although all the daughters don't know martial arts, many of them have learned how to ride horses.

"Ye Qingyan, I heard that you picked a good horse from here a few days ago? And gave it to Ning Chu?" Xie Lingshuang suddenly thought of something and asked.

"So what? Do I have to tell you who I'm going to send?" Ye Qingyan pouted and asked back.

"Hey, what happened to us Qingyan recently? Don't you love beauties and love Ning Chu?" Huo Heng ran up to join in the fun, with his fat arms on Ye Qingyan's shoulders, almost crushing him.

Xie Ziyu looked at Chuning with a half-smile.

Chu Ning felt a little guilty for no reason, and only frowned and looked at Ye Qingyan.

Ye Qingyan's face was a little stiff, he pushed Huo Heng aside, and said: "Even if I don't love beauties, I only love you, Xiao Hengheng!"

"Hey... I can't bear it..." Huo Heng ran away, his fat body trembling.

Everyone laughed.

"A-Ning, what do you think of this horse? It's small and docile, so it won't throw you off." All the daughters had already picked out their own horses. Xie Ling pointed to a brown pony in the stable and asked. .

"Okay." Chuning smiled.

Xie Lingran glanced at the little brown horse, but didn't speak.

The servants of the racecourse led the horse out and handed the reins to Chuning.

"It's rare to come to the racecourse, why don't we have a competition." Xie Lingshuang led a red horse and said.

"Okay, I wonder who the princess wants to compare with?" Chu Yan also led a horse and came over.

Xie Lingshuang blinked: "You and Aning are sisters, why don't you have a competition, let's see the Chu family, who is more powerful?"

Chu Yan looked at Chu Ning, and it was rare that she didn't show the emotion on her face. Instead, she smiled slightly: "I have no objection. I wonder if Third Sister is willing?"

"Why not?" Chuning raised the corners of his lips slightly, making a "please" gesture.

As soon as Chuning jumped on the horse, her legs caught the horse's belly, and the little brown horse ran out.

The sound of hoofbeats came from behind, and Chu Ning knew that it was Chu Yan who followed her. She didn't look back, and kept galloping forward.After about a cup of tea, she arrived at the entrance of a dense forest, which is one of the tracks of the racecourse. The playful dignitaries were not satisfied with the vast flat ground. In order to increase the difficulty, they deliberately opened a road in the forest, which was only enough The two horses drive side by side, satisfying the desire of the dignitaries to compete.

Chu Ning glanced back. Chu Yan was catching up with her horse. A few figures could be vaguely seen in the distance. Someone had already mounted a horse and was chasing after them.

Chu Ning raised his whip, and rode the horse towards the woods. There were many bends in the woods. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves behind him did not come again. Chu Ning concentrated his attention and pulled the reins.

The forest is very dense, the light in the forest is a little dark, only the faint sunlight shines through the layers of leaves.

Quiet, too quiet, even the sound of the wind could not be heard, Chu Ning slightly retracted his hand holding the rein.

Hearing a "whoosh", a sharp weapon came through the air. Chuning rolled back, and a sharp arrow pierced into the tree trunk behind her. She glanced at it and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Just as she sat up straight, she heard "swish" again, this time it was no longer an arrow, but countless arrows, those arrows came straight to her from the depths of the woods, clearly intending to kill her.

Chuning jumped up from the horse's back, whipped the whip lightly in his hand like a sword, and knocked down the arrows one by one. The little brown horse was shot by the arrows and fled in panic, but it was a pity that he fell headfirst before taking a few steps. fell to the ground.

Chu Ning's eyes froze. She didn't know how many people were ambushing in the surrounding area. She turned her head and looked at the way she had come. Chu Yan hadn't followed. Did she encounter danger, or did she foresee the danger?

She hoped it was the latter, the Chu family only had their two daughters, and she would rather Chu Yan harm her than both of them being in danger at the same time.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Chu Ning turned around. When he saw that it was Chu Yan, he couldn't help being shocked.

"Ah!" Chu Yan screamed in fright when she saw an arrow coming through the air.

"Go back!" Chuning rushed over to help Chu Yan knock the arrow to the ground, and shouted.

Chu Yan's horse was frightened and suddenly ran wildly. Chu Yan screamed in fright. Fortunately, Chu Ning saved her so that she would not be thrown to the ground.

Chu Ning protected Chu Yan behind him, seeing the arrows coming continuously, he couldn't help but frowned, turned his head and said to Chu Yan: "When the arrows stop, you stay behind this tree and don't move, I'll go up have a look."

She looked up at the tall tree trunks, she wanted to see where these people were hiding.

"Third Sister, you have to be careful." Chu Yan said suddenly, her voice was calm instead of the fright just now.

Chu Ning's eyes paused, the whip in her right hand did not stop, but her left hand was quietly held. She turned around suddenly, and grabbed Chu Yan's wrist with one hand. At this moment, Chu Yan's hand was raised high, while her hand held It was a sharp dagger.

"You are not Chu Yan!" Chu Ning gritted her teeth. At this time, Chu Yan could not be so calm. Even if she wanted to kill her, Chu Yan would not dare to do it at this time.

The expression on the man's face remained unchanged, but he suddenly reached out to grab Chuning's right hand, but Chuning barely avoided it, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his back, and there was a "chuck" in his ear, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh and blood.

She staggered a step forward, holding on to "Chu Yan" without letting go, she turned around abruptly, grabbed "Chu Yan" by the neck, and blocked her in front of her, that person's expression finally changed slightly.

Hearing only a few "swish", the arrow shot at the man, and the man groaned a few times, and then there was no movement.

Chuning didn't care, just dragged that person to the edge of the dense jungle, instead of being a target on the road, it's better to take a gamble and see if those arrows can find her.

Chu Ning threw the man on the ground and touched his back with his hand. Blood flowed from the wound. Two arrows were shot in his back. She couldn't pull it out, but chopped off the arrows.

With cold sweat on her forehead, she gritted her teeth, reached out to take the man's dagger, and ran quickly into the depths of the jungle.

Every step he took, the pain in his back increased by one point, and Chuning's complexion gradually turned pale, but his feet never stopped.

There was a voice in the wind piercing through the air, and Chuning didn't need to look back, he also knew that what was following behind him was not an arrow, but a person.

She concentrated her attention, and when she felt that the man was about to grab her, she stopped suddenly, turned around quickly, and threw the dagger out.

Hearing a "chuck", the dagger pierced into the body of the man in front. Chuning watched the man fall, and then saw a tall man in black standing behind him. The man was wearing a black mask and a pair of There was a trace of unknown taste in the cold eyes.He spoke slowly, his voice deliberately pretending to be hoarse: "I didn't expect the third lady in the general's mansion to be weak, but she possesses unique skills."

Chuning looked at the man, with an indifferent smile on his pale face: "Your Excellency is disappointed."

"Master, have you found him?" A few more men in black flew towards him, and when they reached the man's side, they couldn't help asking in surprise.

"I said why are my people so useless? It turns out that Miss San is hiding her secrets."

The man in black said a few words, and several people behind him knelt down one after another: "Master, forgive me."

Chu Ning looked at them, his eyes suddenly fell behind them, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he relaxed and leaned against a tree beside him: "Your Highness, you have come."

The man in black looked back quickly, and at that moment, Chuning ran away.

Chu Ning resorted to her life's best skills, and disappeared in front of the man in black in the blink of an eye. The lightness kung fu taught her by Mu Lianzhi was really first-class, so she was able to escape from death again and again.

But this time, she faintly felt that she was not so lucky.

His back was already wet with blood, and the pain was so extreme that he was numb, not to mention that Chu Ning, who was on the verge of life and death, didn't have the energy to pay attention to the injury at all.

Fleeing, running away non-stop, stumbling, panicking.

She couldn't die, at least not yet.

Chu Ning's strength was gradually exhausted, and his consciousness was gradually withdrawn. Behind him came the lingering voice of the man in black: "Miss San, what's the point? Since today is your death date, how can you live until tomorrow?"

Chuning didn't listen, and just ran forward regardless. As long as he delays a little longer, he may win a chance for himself.

She knew she was going to die, but she didn't believe that she would die this way.

With a "bang", she bumped into a solid chest, she raised her head suddenly, a familiar face came into her eyes, Chuning's eyes showed great joy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: " Mu Jian..."

He closed his eyes and passed out.

Mu Jian embraced Chu Ning who was fainted in his arms, drew his long sword out of its sheath, pointed it at the men in black, and said in a cold voice, "The date of her death is not up to you to decide."

When Chu Ning woke up, he found himself lying on a pile of dry straw, with pain in his back, the two arrows had just been pulled out by Mu Jian.

Chuning took a breath and let out a muffled snort.

While helping her treat the wound, Mu Jian said, "I won't go to Prince Jin's Mansion anymore."

It's not a negotiating tone, it's purely a declarative sentence.

Chuning smiled bitterly: "Okay."

If he hadn't appeared in time today, I'm afraid she wouldn't be alive now.

"Why did you appear suddenly?" Chu Ning asked when he suddenly thought of something.

"Yesterday I heard that someone was going to kill you."

Chu Ning shuddered in his heart: "Are you from Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Mu Jian did not speak, and acquiesced.

"People from Prince Jin's Mansion want to kill me? Is it Xie Lingshuang or Xie Lingran? Although Xie Lingshuang doesn't like me, there should be no reason to kill me. Could it be Xie Lingran? Are they really from the Ninth Prince?" Chu Ning murmured to himself.

"Don't think about it, take a good rest first." Mu Jian said, he bandaged Chuning's wound, looked at the blood-stained clothes aside, thought for a while, and took off his outer shirt, Gently covered Chuning's back.

"En." Chuning replied, she was really exhausted today, she looked around and found that it was a hidden cave, the entrance of the cave was covered by Mu Jian with stones and grass, blocking the firelight in the cave.

With Mu Jian by his side, Chu Ning felt at ease. He was a real master. In that competition at the Prince Jin's Palace, she had already exerted a lot of skill, but he only scored three points. As long as he was with her, she could sleep in peace.

Chu Ning closed his eyes and fell asleep until the early hours of the morning.

A voice suddenly came from outside the cave, Chuning opened his eyes suddenly, and Mu Jian had already picked up the sword.

He squatted in front of Chuning and said softly, "Come up."

Chuning straightened his clothes, lay on Mu Jian's back, and said softly, "Be careful."

"Master, do you think it is possible to hide people here?" There was a voice from outside the cave, but it was a bit inaudible.

"How can people hide in this kind of place? What's more, with Chuning's small body, how can he move so many stones to the entrance of the cave?" The voice was a little louder this time, and Chuning's eyes flickered. It was Ye Qingyan's sound.

"Split." Another voice sounded, calm and unparalleled in familiarity.

Surprise burst into Chu Ning's eyes. She hugged Mu Jian's neck tightly and said softly, "It's Xie Ziyu."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "boom", the sword light flashed, and the stones fell down one after another. In the dust, Chuning squinted his eyes and saw a row of people standing outside: Xie Ziyu, Su Ye, Ye Qingyan , Huo Heng, and Xie Lingran.

The people outside the cave were obviously a little surprised when they saw the situation inside, especially Ye Qingyan, who immediately widened his eyes and said, "It's really hidden inside?"

Seeing Chu Ning, Xie Ziyu's tense face finally relaxed slightly. His eyes fell on her and Mu Jian. Mu Jian's face was expressionless. Chuning.

Xie Ziyu walked forward a few steps, seeing the tired look on Chuning's brows, he couldn't help frowning, and asked softly, "Are you injured?"

"No problem." Chu Ning smiled slightly, and responded softly.

Xie Ziyu glanced at Su Ye: "Go and prepare the carriage, and the doctor."

Seeing this situation, Su Ye didn't dare to delay any longer, and disappeared in a flash.

"I'll carry you." Xie Ziyu looked at Chuning and said softly.

Ye Qingyan and Huo Heng who were standing at the entrance of the cave widened their eyes when they heard this.

Xie Lingran's eyes flickered slightly, but no expression could be seen.

"No need, just carry Mu Jian on my back." Chu Ning said weakly, lying on Mu Jian's body.

When Huo Heng heard this, he was even more surprised. He moved to Ye Qingyan's side and asked in a low voice, "Did I hear you right?"

Ye Qingyan ignored him, just looked at Chuning, touched her chin and pondered, "Who do you think is going to put her to death?"

"Master, the carriage is here!" Su Ye ran back very quickly and roared at the top of his voice.

Mu Jian didn't look at Xie Ziyu, and walked out of the cave with Chu Ning on his back. He put Chu Ning on the carriage, then looked at Xie Ziyu, and said, "Take care of her, I'll go find the doctor."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xie Ziyu to speak, Mu Jian performed lightness kung fu and left.

Xie Ziyu got into the carriage, and said, "Go back to the Rong Palace." After a pause, he lifted the curtain and looked at Ye Qingyan and the others, "It's been a hard night for you all, go back."

Huo Heng watched the carriage drift away, bit his lip and said, "Hey, Your Highness just left us behind?"

Ye Qingyan patted Huo Heng's shoulder, and said earnestly: "You should also lose weight."

In the carriage, Chuning was lying on the soft blanket. She glanced at Xie Ziyu's serious expression, and knew that he was worried about her, so she smiled and pretended nothing happened: "If you survive a catastrophe, there will be future blessings." , you said if I go to gamble today, will I win everything?"

Xie Ziyu didn't seem to hear her words, just looked at her back and said, "Let me see your wound."

"No need, Mu Jian helped me deal with it, it's just a minor injury."
