Chapter 49 An Arrow Through the Heart
Chapter 49 An arrow through the heart
In the forest, Shen Yuexi pretended to squat on the ground, slowly putting the foxtail grass growing near the roots of the tree into the medicine bag. At the same time, she raised her eyes and scanned the surroundings.
Anyway, Leng Shuang stood behind her and couldn't see what she was pretending to do.
The motorcade stopped at the edge of the woods fifty meters away. Xiao Beiheng and Lin Kui also got out of the car and stood on the edge of the woods talking. Xia Lan stood behind them.
Although there are few trees in her location, there are dense bushes about a hundred meters away. Once she escapes, it will be difficult for the pursuers to discover her whereabouts.
No matter what, she had to run. Not only for herself, but also for Xiao Zhuo.
Now the convoy is in the wild, and there are woods in front of it, which is the best chance to escape. Once it reaches the open area, even if it can fly, it is probably useless.
On that rainy night, Xiao Zhuo pulled her into the depths of the forest and escaped the enemy's pursuit. Now that Xiao Zhuo was gone, she had to do this by herself.
"I've finished picking here. I'll go over there to relieve myself. You wait here."
She stood up and pointed to the bushes in the distance.
The convoy is far enough away from her, and the only thing that can threaten her is the bow and arrow. She must first escape into the bushes. If Leng Shuang comes to catch her, she will attack Leng Shuang's broken wrist. Although it will definitely hurt Leng Shuang to death, but only I can say sorry.
Leng Shuang glanced at the bushes, then looked back at Xiao Beiheng at the edge of the woods, turned to Shen Yuexi and said coldly:
"Miss Shen, I sincerely advise you not to try to escape. No one can escape in the hands of His Royal Highness."
Shen Yuexi smiled as she walked: "I understand."
After all, if you don't run away, you'll be damned. With such a cruel guy, you might wake up one day and find that your hands and feet are gone.
She didn't care whether Leng Shuang ran or not, she was definitely going to run anyway.
She continued walking towards the bushes, Leng Shuang did not stop where she was and followed closely behind.
"This slave once witnessed a maid who was trying to escape... having her hands and feet chopped off... and being thrown into a pig pen. She screamed when she was eaten by pigs that had been starving for several days. This slave can't forget her until now. "
Shen Yuexi paused and said in a trembling voice: "How could he be so perverted?"
Although she already knew Xiao Beiheng's cruelty, she was still shocked when Leng Shuang told her about the past. She couldn't help but look back at Xiao Beiheng at the edge of the woods.
Xiao Beiheng seemed to have taken something from Xia Lan's hand. It was hard to see clearly from a distance.
Underneath such a handsome appearance, he is actually like this...
She turned around again, quickened her pace slightly, pointed ahead and said, "We'll be there soon."
…
"Xia Lan, report the number of steps for this prince."
Xiao Beiheng took out a wolf tooth arrow from the quiver at his waist and placed it on the bowstring. He straightened his left arm and slowly raised the bow.
Xia Lan's smile suddenly froze. She originally thought that the prince wanted the bow just to touch it, but when she saw the direction where the prince's bow and arrow were pointed, she suddenly became frightened and managed a smile:
"Your Highness, Leng Shuang still..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Kui interrupted sharply: "Master orders you to count!"
"Yes...yes!" Xia Lan turned to look at the two women in the woods, her eyes full of horror and said, "Your Highness, forty steps."
Xiao Beiheng smiled slightly and pulled the bowstring back with two fingers of his right hand, fully drawing the bowstring.
There was a "collapse" sound, and the wolf-fang arrow had left its string.
…
"Since you can see that the Crown Prince of Qi is such a person, why do you still serve him?" Shen Yuexi asked Leng Shuang strangely, "Just like Xia Lan, she is Dr. Lin's maid, and the Crown Prince is not What will happen to her?"
If you don't like this master, just find a way to change him.
Leng Shuang shook her head slightly and said:
"It is natural for a servant to serve his master. His Royal Highness, he..."
There was a "pop" sound, and Leng Shuang's voice suddenly stopped.
Shen Yuexi turned around instinctively and immediately saw the ferocious arrow coming out of Leng Shuang's left chest. This arrow accurately hit Leng Shuang's back heart.
Leng Shuang looked at her with wide eyes and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grab something.
"Leng Shuang!" Shen Yuexi threw away the medicine bag, rushed towards Leng Shuang who was slowly kneeling down, supported her body and shouted: "Hold on."
The green clothes on Leng Shuang's chest were dyed dark red in the blink of an eye. She stretched out her right hand to push Shen Yuexi and said weakly:
"……run!"
Shen Yuexi's body suddenly sank in his arms, and his raised right hand also fell.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Beiheng in the distance.
I always thought that I saved Leng Shuang, but in fact I didn't at all.
There was no time to hesitate. She saw Xiao Beiheng grinning and taking aim again. She was the only one left, and Xiao Beiheng obviously wanted to kill her too, and for no reason.
With fear taking over her body and mind, she got up and ran wildly.
…
Xiao Beiheng pulled the bow string fully, and the arrow pointed at Shen Yuexi in the distance. Both the left hand holding the bow and the right hand holding the arrow were as steady as a rock.
"Sixty steps."
Xia Lan lost her usual smile, and while counting, she used her sleeves to wet the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and reported the distance in a stiff tone.
"Seventy steps."
Xiao Beiheng still didn't let go of the bowstring. If the wind hadn't blown up his sleeves, he would have been a sculpture.
"Eighty steps."
Everyone in the motorcade turned their attention to Shen Yuexi, who was running wildly in the distance.
Lin Kui, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, became nervous and reminded: "Your Highness, we will soon be out of range!"
Although what His Royal Highness is holding is not an ordinary thing, the distance is already close to a hundred steps. From a distance, Shen Yuexi's figure is already a small dot. Wait a little longer...
Xiao Beiheng turned a deaf ear. He seemed to be extremely confident. Shen Yuexi would never be able to avoid this arrow.
"Ninety steps."
After Xia Lan finished counting, she also turned her nervous eyes to Xiao Beiheng. Seeing that Xiao Beiheng was motionless, she quickly turned her eyes to Shen Yuexi.
…
Shen Yuexi didn't have time to think about why the arrow didn't come for so long.
She didn't dare to look back at all, and rushed towards the bushes in front of her with all her strength.
Leng Shuang is dead, and she doesn't want to be stabbed in the heart by an arrow. She hasn't lived enough yet, and her dream retirement life hasn't begun yet, and it can't end like this.
After running a few more steps, you can enter the bush. No matter how powerful Xiao Beiheng is, can he still hit the target if he can't see it?
"One hundred steps!"
Xia Lan's voice sounded far behind.
This shout is a reminder and a warning.
Shen Yuexi turned around suddenly.
Time seemed to slow down instantly. The wolf-fang arrow drew a shallow arc in the air. The extremely sharp arrow reflected the midday sun, and the tail feathers at the end of the arrow shaft slowly rotated. It passed through the shade of trees and cast a shadow on the ground. There are winding and flickering shadows.
The arrow had flown halfway and was hitting her in the back of her heart. She would die in one second.
One second was only enough to shout out the word "Big Bear", it was too late.
It would be nice if you could use the Universal Making Machine to make yourself a shield or something like that from the beginning. It would be safer to run with a shield on your back.
But Xiao Beiheng suddenly attacked. She was caught off guard and had no time to think about anything else. All she could think about was running into the bushes.
It's too late to regret now.
She closed her eyes resignedly.
A "ding" sound sounded in her ears. It was like two long swords clashing in front of her, and the sharp sound made her ears buzz.
The expected heart-piercing arrow did not come, and she opened her eyes in surprise.
In front of me are flying black hair, a moon-white back, and a sharp sword.
