The sky is blue and the leaves are yellow on the ground. The autumn colors are in waves, and the waves are green with cold smoke.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, enjoying the scenery and walking. After about a quarter of an hour, they stopped by a lake and started preparing lunch.
There is not much difference between the outings of ancient people and the outings of modern people. It seems that a meal outside is always necessary to make the trip worthwhile.
Ordinary people might bring their own food, but as Ning Qingyu's identity, he naturally had to prepare a meal of wild game using local materials.
Several guards were sent to hunt hares and pheasants in the mountains, while Wei Changtian followed Ning Qingyu to the lake to fish.
Wei Changtian's experience in this area was limited to fishing for goldfish in the park in his previous life, so he didn't have any expectations about whether he could catch a fish. After throwing the pole, he started looking around in boredom.
I have to say, the scenery is really good.
There is a vertical cliff on the mountain side of the small lake. After the water falls, it scatters white mist in the lake, forming a beautiful small waterfall.
If you look carefully, you can see a few long gray fish swimming bravely upstream along the waterfall.
What a touching scene!
The purpose of most fish migration is to reproduce. Even a fish can do this to give birth to children. As a human being, how can I "be second to the fish" in terms of the desire to reproduce!
Wei Changtian sighed in his heart and couldn't help but look at Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuke who were sitting by the lake and fishing.
The former was hugging his knees and kept peeking at himself. He didn't even know that the fishing rod was dragged away by the fish.
In comparison, the latter looked more like a real fisherman, looking at the lake seriously all the time, but unfortunately no fish bit the hook.
Is this what is called the flowers planted intentionally but not blooming, but the willows planted unintentionally to create shade?
He shook his head and looked away, but his fishing rod still didn't move.
Should we directly fry the fish internally?
Wei Changtian had almost lost his patience, but at this moment, the lake not far away suddenly rippled, and soon a big fish jumped out of the water.
It was Ning Qingyu who caught the fish.
"Hahaha! Good!"
The prince was easily satisfied. He was so happy after just catching one fish that he immediately stood up and started to finish fishing.
Although he was very sick, it was not a big problem for him to deal with a fish. After several efforts, he dragged the big fish very close to the shore.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the big fish, but at this fleeting moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the forest.
The arrowhead of this arrow must have been specially processed, so that the arrow did not make any sound and went straight to Ning Qingyu's back like a silent black lightning.
"Your Majesty!!!"
A sudden scream exploded in the air, it must have been shouted by one of the guards.
If he could run as fast as the sound, he might be able to block this arrow.
It's a pity that he can't "supersonic", so the arrow finally hit Ning Qingyu directly without any obstruction, who still didn't know what happened.
"father!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
"Plop!"
Amid shouts of panic, Ning Qingyu fell headlong into the lake, causing a huge splash in an instant.
Except for a few well-trained guards who had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, everyone else was stunned on the spot, staring at the rippling waves motionless with their eyes wide open.
A dignified prince just...died?
The scene fell into a very brief but frightening silence.
Until a black shadow suddenly shot towards the place where Ning Qingyu fell into the water.
"He's not dead!! I'm going to save him!!!"
"Others leave the edge of the forest immediately!!"
This black shadow is naturally Wei Changtian, and he did not say this casually.
Although he did not notice when the sharp arrow was shot, he could clearly see the scene when Ning Qingyu was hit by the arrow——
The arrow didn't enter Ning Qingyu's body at all. It must have been blocked by something!
This is actually not surprising, after all, how could a prince not have anything to protect his life?
"Plop!"
Plunging into the water and grabbing Ning Qingyu who had not yet sunk very deep, Wei Changtian rushed out of the water again almost instantly.
But when he finished all this, the others were still stunned in place, obviously not having recovered yet.
Hold!
Feeling impatient, Wei Changtian even yelled out national curses for a while.
"Damn you!! Run! Are you all waiting to be killed by assassins?!"
"call out!"
As if to verify the correctness of his words, a scream sounded in everyone's ears almost at the same time, and then they became one.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Nearly a hundred sharp arrows shot through the air again, instantly covering everyone.
I’m really convinced!!
Wei Changtian didn't have time to think too much, he held the unconscious Ning Qingyu in one hand, drew his sword with the other, and went straight to Ning Yuke who was closest to him.
In this moment of life and death, I don't even have to worry about choosing a partner. I can save whoever I want.
"Ding! Ding ding ding!"
The dragon roared out of its sheath, and the shadow of the sword swayed like an umbrella, and a cloud of arrows flew out.
Several guards finally reacted at this time and rushed towards Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling respectively, blocking the second round of attacks for them.
The important people were all saved, but the others...
"ah!!"
"Princess save me!"
"I, I don't want to die!!"
"Pfft pfft!"
The shrill, desperate wails came and went as quickly as they came.
The accompanying servants, retainers, maids... more than a dozen people were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and all died in the blink of an eye at the foot of the beautiful Nanshan Mountain.
However, the few people who were lucky enough to survive had no time to feel sad for them.
Because at the next moment, perhaps feeling that the crossbow was no longer effective, the assassin finally appeared from the forest.
Yellow clothes, white sword, masked face.
Nearly a hundred people suddenly appeared like locusts crossing the border. Apart from being different in height, short, fat and thin, there was no sign of identity at first glance.
They didn't say anything, let alone yell. After coming out of the forest, they quickly rushed towards Wei Changtian and others in a surrounding manner to kill them all.
The faces of the three women instantly turned pale, and the five or six guards subconsciously took a step back.
Only Wei Changtian calmed down at this time, and after thinking for less than a breath, he shouted in a deep voice:
"Quick! Get to my carriage!!"
carriage?
Everyone didn't know why Wei Changtian did this, but they didn't hesitate this time.
The guards immediately picked up Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling and ran towards the carriage, while Wei Changtian followed closely with Ning Qingyu in his left hand and Ning Yuke in his right hand.
"Don't be stunned! Throw the person into the carriage!"
Rushing to the side of his carriage, Wei Changtian shouted as he took the lead in throwing Ning Qingyu and Ning Yuke into the axle, and then pushed Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling in as well.
This was the only solution he could think of.
Although the carriage's carriage doesn't look special, it actually has a three-inch-thick layer of immortal stone inside, making it look like a riot-proof carriage.
The three-inch Immortal Locking Stone, if there are no masters of level three or above in this group of assassins, it would take at least one stick of incense to break it open.
The secret sentry who was able to protect himself arrived.
The plan is good, but there is a problem now.
The car is very sturdy, but it has doors.
Then of course someone needs to guard the car door.
"..."
Looking up at the yellow-clothed assassins approaching from all directions, Wei Changtian turned around, closed the car door with a bang, and asked several guards in a deep voice.
"Hold the car door and the people in the car will survive!"
"Are you keeping it?!"
"..."
Several guards were just stunned for a moment, then gritted their teeth and shouted in unison:
"We will swear allegiance to the prince to the death!!"
"good!"
Wei Changtian pulled out Dragon Yin with a "cang clang" sound and took a deep breath.
