"Wait a minute." Chen Nan quickly stepped back and said, "Your Highness, you are too ruthless. During the day, I knew your camp was in a weak position, but I still surrendered without hesitation. How could you do this to me?"
"Hey, you are such a slippery thief. You have already seen clearly that the Third Prince will definitely kill you after he takes action. Otherwise, would you be willing to risk your life to make a deal with me?"
"Ahem...well...you won't be able to kill me this way. Your guards have all been seriously injured, but I still have the strength to fight."
The little princess pondered for a moment, looked at him and smiled, and said: "Okay, in that case, I'll let you go for the time being. Now, take this on your back."
Looking at the box containing Hou Yi's bow handed over by the little princess, Chen Nan shouted: "No, just kill me." He understood that the little princess had made a decisive decision, and she reluctantly threw Hou Yi away.
Bow, divert everyone's target, and then find an opportunity to escape.
"Okay, I'll kill you." The little princess pulled out the sword.
"No, don't, I'll carry it."
In this quiet night, there is a murderous intention hidden in the forest. The third prince is quietly conferring with his men in the tent of the third prince, with swords and swords flashing.
Yang Chong, the commander of the guards under the third prince, said: "That old man Zhuge Chengfeng is definitely not around. We were all fooled during the day. Your Highness, please take action to avoid a long night and many dreams."
The third prince pondered for a while and said, "Don't rush yet. They have been surrounded anyway. Monitor them closely and don't act rashly. Let them be nervous for a night first. When they relax at dawn, we will take action again."
Yang Chong said: "Don't take them so seriously. Almost everyone there is seriously injured. No matter how powerful that little witch is, can she still be stronger than His Highness?"
The third prince said calmly: "Yang Chong, you are not experienced enough. You are so reckless, how can I trust you to take charge of your own affairs? Yes, they are indeed seriously injured, but a sick tiger can also show its strength. Never underestimate you."
Enemies. Since one night can dismantle their fighting spirit and weaken their strength, why don't we take advantage of it? The way to defeat the enemy is to do everything possible to create favorable conditions for yourself, and you have to study hard."
Yang Chong had sweat on his head. He respected and feared the Third Prince. He could always feel a vague domineering presence in the Third Prince, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
"Yes, I know my mistake."
The third prince walked a few steps in the tent with his hands behind his back and said: "Once we succeed, you will immediately return with Houyi's bow to worship the moon. There will be no delay on the way. Do you understand?"
"Your Highness, won't you leave?"
"I can't leave yet, I haven't gone to the Luofeng Mountains to see the unicorns yet." The third prince smiled.
Yang Chong said: "It is too dangerous for Your Highness to do this."
"It would be more dangerous if I rush back to worship the moon immediately. In that case, everyone can tell that I did it. Hey, if I stay here, there is no evidence. Who can say that I did it."
"Your Highness is wise."
"Okay, go ahead and make some arrangements. Tell them that when they do it at dawn, they must do it cleanly and not leave anyone alive." The third prince's face showed a cold look.
"Yes, I understand." Even though Yang Chong had experienced countless life and death tests, he still couldn't help but shudder.
The little princess Chu Yu summoned all her subordinates together. She changed from her usual smiling and cheerful image. Now she looked very solemn, like a calm general.
"That scumbag Chen Nan has told you everything about what is going to happen, right? 'Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.' The third prince of the Worship Moon Kingdom is ambitious and wants to take advantage of the Chu Kingdom's heirloom treasure, Hou Yi's Bow.
There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides. Even if I give them Hou Yi's bow now, they will never be merciful and will still kill people and silence them. But there are two ways to die, one is to die in humiliation without fighting, and the other is to die in humiliation without fighting.
One is a heroic death in battle, which one are you going to choose?"
From inside the tent, the guards lowered their voices and roared: "Heroic death."
"Yes! Although we have been forced into a desperate situation, we must not give in. We will fight to the end and make them pay the most painful price. Are you willing to defend the dignity of our Chu country with your blood?"
"willing!"
"We are willing to fight for the princess!"
"We are willing to shed the last drop of our blood for Chu!"
…
Chen Nan marveled at the little princess's ability. She obviously wanted to escape with the help of everyone, but she still spoke so impassionedly.
"Okay, now let's start setting up..."
The little princess designated a place for each guard and told them to sneak there and ambush them under the cover of night.
Then the little princess said to Chen Nan: "Scum, because of your low martial arts skills, I won't ask you to kill the enemy. You only need to take care of Hou Yi's bow."
Chen Nan: "..."
"Do you have anything else to add?"
A female guard stood up and said, "Princess, why don't we break out during the night?"
The little princess shook her head and sighed: "You all come here."
She lifted up a corner of the big tent, picked up a small stone from the ground and flicked it out. Not far away, there was the soft sound of the small stone falling on the grass. At the same time, there was a soft sound of bowstrings in the air, and dozens of flying bows were heard.
The arrow shot towards the grass.
"As you can see, they have already made arrangements and are ready to ambush us. Hehe, in that case, we will wait here until they fall into our ambush."
All the guards could not help but admire the little princess.
The little princess added: "I guess if they don't launch the attack within an hour, it may be postponed until dawn. You must be careful and don't relax. Okay, you go and prepare."
Chen Nan secretly sighed: I didn't expect the little devil to be so thoughtful. It's a pity that she has no usable weapons. If the power in her hands is comparable to that of the third prince, it's not certain who will win. This little girl is really scary!
When everyone was leaving, a guard suddenly knelt down and swore: "I will do my best to protect the princess from here."
When the other guards saw this, they also knelt down.
"I swear to protect the princess to the death."
"I am willing to save the last drop of blood for the princess."
…
Everyone present swore in a low voice that they would protect the little princess with their own lives.
Of course, there is an exception, which is the "scum" in the eyes of the little princess, the "stinky thief" Chen Nan. He secretly thought: Are you kidding me, guarding this little devil? She herself has already been prepared to escape. Damn it, you want me to carry you.
I am going to die with Hou Yi's bow. Alas, if Hou Yi's bow has not been sealed, who can stop me now?
After these guards exited the tent, they immediately ambush nearby.
Just as Chen Nan was about to walk towards the tent next to him, a female swordsman suddenly pulled out a long sword and put it on his neck, saying: "You must also stay to protect the princess and stay here honestly."
Chen Nan felt that he was more wronged than Dou E in ancient myths and legends, and was inexplicably involved in this vortex, putting him in danger.
Death is not painful, it is just a moment. The most painful thing is waiting for death. Every minute is torture, and the heartstrings are tightened little by little with time, until it can no longer bear the huge force and breaks and collapses.
Although the guards under the little princess were very skilled, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweats during the long wait. On the other hand, Chen Nan, the "unclear" figure in their eyes, was more relaxed. Chen Nan had been investigating the escape.
Route, he kept revising his escape strategy.
"Well, the first step is to throw Houyi's bow at the unlucky guy. The second step should be to run to that place, and then...well, the Nth step should be to pretend to be dead under that tree? I'll think about it again.
...Well, I finally escaped while they were at their most chaotic."
If these people knew what Chen Nan was thinking, they would kill him immediately.
There was only one dazzling morning star left in the eastern sky. Chen Nan knew that the moment of life and death was coming. He took out the dark Houyi bow from the box and gently touched it with his hand.
He whispered: "Old friend, do you still remember me? I am Chen Nan. I never thought that I would still be able to meet you again after ten thousand years."
A guard next to him pushed him and said, "What are you muttering about?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
At this moment, more than twenty figures surrounded the place in a ring. The guards under the little princess let out a long breath. The end of the painful wait was relief. No matter whether they survived or not, they were not willing to endure this kind of situation anymore.
torment.
At the end of the long night, murderous intent surged into the sky, and the twenty or so people rushed up like tigers and wolves. At the same time, the guards under the little princess had already pointed their bows and arrows at the intruders.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
…
A volley of flying feather arrows was fired, and there was a scream. Six people were killed by arrows on the spot and fell to the ground.
Yang Chong, the commander of the guards under the third prince, cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, this devil princess! It's already dawn, and she's still on guard."
When the ninth person was shot to the ground by a Feiyu arrow, the guards under the third prince had already rushed in front of Chen Nan and others, and their bows and arrows had lost their effect.
The guards under the little princess grabbed their weapons and rushed forward. Only two people stayed put. One was Chen Nan, and the other was a trainee magician who survived the giant snake battle. Chen Nan was looking for
Chance is preparing to escape, while the trainee magician is chanting a spell and preparing to cast magic.
There was a wave of magic elements in the air, and a huge ice cone formed quickly. The ice cone turned into a white light and rushed into the enemy group, piercing the chest and abdomen of two people in the blink of an eye, and finally stabbed the third person to death and then shattered.
Come.
The trainee magician was pleasantly surprised after he succeeded in the sneak attack. When he wanted to cast magic again, he found that there was no magic in his body. He was originally seriously injured, and it was very rare to be able to cast magic once. But at this time, he was unable to cast magic again.
Meaning death, a steel sword was thrown over and stabbed into the trainee magician's heart accurately. The trainee magician slowly closed his eyes with an unwilling look.
Chen Nan still didn't move. He was lying in the grass waiting for the best opportunity to escape.
Both sides were fighting with each other dead and wounded. Although the little princess's guards had been injured more and more, they were still struggling to hold on. They were completely fighting for their lives.
Suddenly, the little princess rushed out of the tent as fast as lightning and broke into the enemy group. She held a thin sword in her hand. Wherever she passed, someone would fall to death, leaving a string of blood flowers in the air.
Chen Nan was stunned. He originally thought that the little princess would take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he didn't expect that she would actually fight her way into the enemy group. However, it seems that she also changed her decision temporarily after a painful struggle, otherwise she would not have used Hou Yi's bow before.
Force it to him.
"I didn't expect that the little devil hasn't evolved to a real devil yet. Alas, she is a little girl after all, and her heart is not too hard. She can't bear to abandon her subordinates and run away alone. It won't be possible in a few years."
When the enemy group was in chaos, Chen Nan stood up with both hands holding the dark Houyi Bow. In an instant, he became the focus of everyone's attention, and more than a dozen murderous auras rushed towards him.
When the little princess saw that Chen Nan had successfully attracted the enemy's attention, a trace of unbearable color flashed in her eyes, but then she became extremely angry.
Chen Nan shouted loudly to the guards of the third prince: "Brothers, I have no intention of making an enemy of you. Don't you want this Hou Yi bow? Go on!" He threw the Hou Yi bow, but
However, the direction was deliberately deviated, and Hou Yi's bow fell beside the little princess.
"Kill!" The guards under the third prince swarmed forward. The guards under the little princess were eager to protect their master and rushed forward. The encirclement immediately collapsed, and everyone rushed towards the little princess or Hou Yi Gong. Both sides
The men and horses were fighting together.
The little princess stared at Chen Nan fiercely, her eyes almost bursting with fire. If eyes could kill, Chen Nan had already been burned to ashes. Extremely unwilling, she turned her gaze to the enemy who was charging towards her, holding the sword.
Welcoming him.
Chen Nan sneered and said, "Don't blame me. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. It was you who forced me to carry Hou Yi's bow to die in the first place. I was just trying to protect myself."
He bent down and picked up a long sword from the ground and stuck it on his body. He turned around and was about to run towards the depths of the woods when suddenly there was a clatter and Hou Yi's bow fell from the sky and landed at his feet.
"No way, you're back so soon!" Chen Nan looked back and saw that the little princess was sneering at him among the enemies. At the same time, several guards under the third prince had already rushed towards him.
"Little girl, you are so cruel." He had no time to throw Hou Yi back. He turned around and ran towards the depths of the woods, but just after running more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped again, and his body became cold.
The third prince led four guards out of the depths of the woods. With a faint smile on his face, he said: "Interesting, interesting, wonderful, wonderful. I didn't expect that Princess Yu would also miscalculate, and she would be taken advantage of by you."
I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted. I was originally waiting for Her Royal Highness Princess Yu here, but I didn't expect you to be the first to escape."
"Well... Your Highness, the Third Prince, I have never wanted to be an enemy of Your Highness. I did not come out of the palace with them, let alone a eunuch. That little devil, oh, is that Princess Yu. The reason why she is pestering me is,
It's because I know a huge secret, and she has been trying to get it out of me, but...she has never been able to do so."
"You call her a little devil? Haha... You are really interesting." The third prince laughed, but then his face darkened and he said: "You are just a cunning person in front of me. Don't play any tricks in front of me. What's more?
Don’t try to use some ‘big secret’ to beg me to let you go.”
Chen Nan's heart sank, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body, and he said: "It's true, I accidentally found a map in an ancient cave. Although I'm not very proficient in ancient culture, I still know those few words.
, there are three ancient characters "Xuanwu Jia" on it."
"What?" the third prince exclaimed, but instantly his face was covered with frost again, and he said in a cold voice: "You are so brave, how dare you talk nonsense in front of me!"
"Your Highness, everything I say is true and absolutely true, otherwise I wouldn't be chased by that little devil for thousands of miles."
The third prince's eyes let out two gleams of cold light, and he stared at Chen Nan coldly. After a while, he said, "Where is the map?"
"This... has been hidden by me in a secret place."
"Hmph!" The third prince snorted coldly: "Go and pick up Hou Yi's bow."
The guards who originally chased Chen Nan for Hou Yi's bow retreated after seeing the third prince. At this time, Hou Yi's bow was in the grass not far away.
The Xuanwu Armor, an immortal treasure that had never been obtained by anyone, was indeed very attractive. Although the third prince did not believe Chen Nan's words, he still spared his life for verification later.
"Hoo~~" Chen Nan let out a long breath. He held Hou Yi's bow in both hands and handed it to the third prince. The third prince's face showed excitement and he kept rubbing the dark back of the bow with his hands.
"The mainland's immortal treasure Houyi's Bow is finally in my hands, haha..." His eyes were radiating hot light.
At this time, the sky was already bright, a thin layer of mist floated in the forest, a pungent smell of blood filled the forest, and corpses lay scattered on the ground in the depths of the forest.
The little princess's white clothes had bloomed with more than a dozen blood flowers. Her eyes were full of evil, and her sword saw blood. She killed most of the third prince's guards. But almost all of her own guards were damaged, with only one or two.
The man lay on the ground and let out a few weak moans intermittently.
"Stop!" The third prince shouted loudly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yu is really amazing. All my guards are good at blocking ten with one, but I didn't expect that so many people were killed or injured."
The guard commander Yang Chong and the other three guards who were besieging the little princess retreated together.
The little princess put her sword on the ground and gasped for air. Her long black hair was soaked with sweat and the locks were stuck together. She was already exhausted, but the tragic death of her guards deeply hurt her heart.
She has been holding on until now with the anger in her heart.
The little princess glared at the third prince, scolded him, and said, "Renjian, aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the Chu Kingdom and the Moon Worshiping Kingdom by doing this?"
"Hey, Princess Yu, you should know clearly in your heart that what happened today will always be a strange case. No one will know that something unexpected happened to the little princess of Chu State here."
"There is no airtight wall. Sooner or later, this matter will spread throughout the mainland."
"There are no walls here, and there are no listeners."
The little princess pointed at Chen Nan and said, "Isn't he?"
"Haha, I think it's funny when I think about it. The majestic little princess of the Chu country and the famous little witch was actually tricked by such a small character."
The little princess stared at Chen Nan fiercely. If she could still move, she would have rushed over with her sword. Chen Nan was secretly angry that the little devil wanted to frame him at this time.
The third prince glanced at Chen Nan coldly, then looked at the little princess and said: "Princess Yu, what do you think I should do with you? I really can't bear to kill such a stunning beauty like you, but I can leave you here.
I have to be always on guard against you assassinating me. Sigh, what a headache. After much deliberation, I can only give you away quietly. I think some princes from other countries will be very willing to accept this gift from you."
The little princess seemed to have made some kind of difficult decision, with a trace of pain on her face.
The third prince said coldly: "Don't try to use the power of those princes to take revenge, or to make them soften their hearts and let you go. You will give it away as a personal favorite. You are just a gift for me to form an alliance with others."
That’s it. Hehe, I know you won’t commit suicide, and you won’t let go of any chance of survival. Only by surviving can you have a chance to take revenge.”
The little princess sat weakly on the ground.
Chen Nan, who was not far away, felt a chill in his heart. The third prince was really terrifying. He was definitely a hero.
Suddenly the little princess raised her head, glanced at Chen Nan fiercely, then turned to the third prince and said: "Ren Jian, why didn't you kill him?"
The third prince smiled and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this guy decided to give me the treasure map about Xuanwu Armor." Although he didn't really believe that Chen Nan knew the secret of Xuanwu Armor, he thought that Chen Nan and the little princess
His grudges arose over the treasure map, and he wanted to use this opportunity to attack the little princess.
"Haha..." The little princess suddenly burst out laughing very obscenely, tears streaming down her face.
"Ren Jian, you are such a big idiot, haha... I am really laughing to death. You actually believe that guy has Xuanwu Armor, how funny! Haha..."
The third prince Renjian's face was ashen and he looked towards Chen Nan coldly.
Chen Nan's heart immediately sank. He suddenly got angry and put a palm on the chest of a guard beside him, and snatched the Hou Yi Bow from the guard's hand. Chen Nan learned from the little princess's master Zhuge Chengfeng,
He used Hou Yi's bow as a club and swung it hard at another guard next to him. What happened was so sudden that before the guard knew what was going on, his chest collapsed from the blow and he died instantly.
"Haha, interesting, good job, scum!" the little princess gloated.
"Kill him!" Ren Jian roared.
The other two guards held steel knives and slashed at Chen Nan. He had no choice but to raise Hou Yi's bow to meet the enemy. Although at the beginning he relied on Hou Yi's bow to smash the steel knife in the hand of one guard, in the end he still could not support the two guards.
After a dozen moves, a guard slapped him on the back. He vomited blood and fell to the ground.
When Chen Nan's blood was sprinkled on Hou Yi's bow, a warm current rushed from the back of the bow to his hands. The dark Hou Yi bow began to emit a faint golden light, and the bow string trembled slightly.
"Isn't this... Hou Yi's bow like this thousands of years ago? Whenever I hold it, it will chirp happily and emit bursts of golden light. Could it be... could it be that its seal has been released?"
All this happened in an instant. At this time, a guard had raised his knife to chop down Chen Nan who was lying on the ground.
Chen Nan quickly grabbed a dead branch from the ground and put it on the bow string. He pulled the bow string a little harder, and golden light rushed towards the dead branch like mist, and a faint golden light left the string like lightning.
As they left, there was a strong wind in the forest, and there was a loud sound of wind and thunder.
The golden light hit the steel knife, bursting into a rain of light in the air. The steel knife instantly shattered into pieces and fell from the air. In the rain of light, a dead branch was like a spear of death, instantly breaking through the guard.
On his chest, blood spurted out from the blood hole like a spring, and the guard died with his eyes closed.
