15, attacked

The two of them were drinking tea quietly. At this time, talking is to destroy this quiet atmosphere, which is really a big disaster. It was not until a pot of water was finished and the firewood in the stove was burned out that the two looked at the slightly dark sky and understood that they quickly went back.

The water tank has been filled with a whole can of spring water taken from five feet. Because it was quite heavy, the seventh prince was afraid that Cheng Yuanjia would be tired and did not let her hold it, but hung it behind the horse.

The two still ride together and go back along the way they came.

When he was about to walk out of the forest, Cheng Yuanjia suddenly asked the seventh prince to stop his horse and said, "Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"What bet? What to bet on?" The seventh prince said curiously.

Although there was a smile on Cheng Yuanjia's face, this smile was a little mysterious: "When I count to ten, there will be five people in black. Their purpose is to kill us."

The seventh prince was stunned and said with a wry smile, "This bet is not fun."

"It's not fun, because they want our lives." Cheng Yuanjia sighed, "I think some people can't wait, and they can't wait."

"I'm sorry, I'm negligent and I'm going to involve you." The seventh prince said sadly, "I know some people don't want me to grow up. In the past few days, my second brother is very nervous about me. He even took me to sleep in a tent with him, and I felt that they were going to get rid of me. When I came out with you, I didn't say hello to my second brother. This is a good opportunity for them.

"What are you talking about? You'd better run for your life." Cheng Yuanjia gently pushed him and pointed to the back and said, "Go that way."

There was a faint sound of horses' hoofs in the west. The seventh prince didn't even think about it and hurriedly turned the horse's head and galloped.

Going west is the way back to Shanglin Beiyuan, and going east is a small forest. Out of the forest, it will be a grassland. Earlier today, the seventh prince and the king of Qi returned to the Shanglin courtyard from this grassland. Although it would be a detour in this way, they would not get lost.

The five people in black chasing behind saw that the seventh prince actually found them in advance and turned around and fled. They urged the horse more urgently, and even someone took out a bow and arrow and shot an arrow. Fortunately, the man's riding and shooting kung fu had not yet arrived home, and the feathers and arrows were crookedly nailed to the tree trunk far away.

The seventh prince's handsome face was tight, and he protected Cheng Yuanjia in front of his chest, for fear that the sudden character of the archery behind him would burst out and shoot her. However, Cheng Yuanjia, who was protected by him nervously, did not feel the consciousness of running for his life. Instead, he mocked the pursuer: "Such a bad archery is still shot out with good intentions. Is there too many arrows to be useless? Or is there no mark on his arrow? Aren't you afraid that we know who sent him? I really don't know myself at all. I really dare to come out and be a killer. I'm not afraid of being killed by anti-humans.

"I said, these people are here to kill us. Is it good for us if they are good at archery?" The seventh prince was speechless to Cheng Yuanjia and said, "You'd better think about how we can get out of danger."

"As long as we go in this direction, we can get out of danger." Cheng Yuanjia is not worried about safety. For her, it is a dream that these men in black want to kill her, a Mahayana practitioners.

The seventh prince was shocked and said, "How do you know that we can get out of this direction?"

"Some people want us to die, and of course, some people want us not to die. The current situation is that the people who want us to die find us first. If they can see us alive and smoothly, it means that they have not met people who want us not to die, so as long as we go in the opposite direction, we will always meet people who want us not to die. Cheng Yuanjia was here and said, "The road we came from only needs two directions. If you cross the forest to the west, you can go to another courtyard. If you are a little closer, to the east is the grassland. There is no obstacle on the grassland. You can also go to the other courtyard, that is, it is far away. There are forests to the south and mountains to the north, and there is no way to pass. Since these assassins come from the west, we have to go east to find our rescuers.

When the seventh prince thought about it, he also felt that Cheng Yuanjia's analysis was very reasonable. Once the second brother, the king of Qi, found that he went out alone, he would definitely send someone to protect him, but because he didn't know where he had gone, he was most likely to look forward along the route back to Beiyuan in the afternoon, which happened to be from Coming from the east, the direction they are running for their lives is indeed towards the people who are looking for them.

"However, you'd better be ready to fight." Cheng Yuanjia looked back and suddenly said, "There are only four people behind us, and another person must have circled in front of us. It seems that they are more familiar than us."

The seventh prince's face was cold. He hugged Cheng Yuanjia's arms tighter and whispered, "If that's the case, wait for me to stop them, and you go first."

"Go? How to get there? Riding a horse? I won't." Cheng Yuanjia shook her head vigorously and said, "There is a bigger problem. I don't know the way back to Bieyuan. Aren't you afraid that I will get lost in the forest?"

The seventh prince frowned and there was nothing he could do. Cheng Yuanjia can't ride a horse. There are only two possibilities for her to leave alone. She either falls off the horse halfway or doesn't know where she has gone. At that time, even if the emperor sends all the imperial army to find her, he may not be able to find her who is lost in the forest. The forest at night was so gloomy and horrible that even he didn't dare to spend the night in the forest. What's more, Cheng Yuanjia, a delicate daughter from Jiangnan Water Town.

"Then when we fight, you hide behind me. As long as I'm not dead, I won't hurt you." The seventh prince looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and said, "Yuanjia, if it is possible, you can take my horse. Even if you don't know the way back to Bieyuan, as long as you let the horse go, my horse will take you back."

"What should you do if I leave?" Cheng Yuanjia's bright eyes stared at the seventh prince.

The seventh prince sneered and said, "Since they are here to kill me, how can I cross up if I don't die? As long as I restrain them, you will have a chance to escape." He also looked down at Cheng Yuanjia and did not hide the affection contained in his eyes: "As long as you can go back safely, I have nothing to complain about even if I die."

Cheng Yuanjia's heart was moved. From the beginning, she decided that the seventh prince was not Qianyun and rejected him. Therefore, in the past two years, she only regarded him as a confidant and friend, and never regarded him as a candidate for a lifelong partner. The seventh prince also concealed his infatuation with her and was always polite to him, even if she couldn't help it. When he wants him to hug himself, he is like performing business, never presumptuous, and never takes the opportunity to underestimate her. Now at the juncture of life and death, he no longer hides, but is willing to use his life to find a way to live for her. She has never experienced this kind of affection even with Zhou Qianyun in those years.

For a while, Cheng Yuanjia was confused. She struggled to find Zhou Qianyun's reincarnation right or wrong. She couldn't give herself an answer to whether it was worth giving up the people around her who really loved her for Qianyun.

Before Cheng Yuanjia could figure it out, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded in front of them, and the disappeared man in black had really circled in front of them. Together with the four people chasing behind, they surrounded them in the middle.

"Seventh Prince, you escaped very fast." One of the four people who chased, who was obviously the leader, smiled proudly and said, "It's a pity that no matter how fast you escape, you can't escape from the palm of our hands. This is the place where you are buried today. Oh, no, we just kill and bury it.

The other four people laughed when they heard their leader's words. In their opinion, the five of them were dispatched to deal with the two half-year-old children, and they had been surrounded by them. It was simply a matter of pinching snails with three fingers. .

The seventh prince silently jumped off the horse and took Cheng Yuanjia down from the horse. He was worried that the horse would be shocked to lift her down in the fight. It was better to let her lead the horse. At the same time, he whispered in her ear, "Remember my words. If you have a chance to lead the horse to escape immediately. Don't worry about me."

After saying that, he pulled out his sword and stood upright, guarding Cheng Yuanjia behind him and sandwiched between him and the horse.
