Chapter 289 Looking for Death
"Your Highness, it's poison! Please leave immediately!" The doctor came forward to examine and spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Heyu obviously didn't expect Shen Shuyi to have such ability. The horse under him became more and more restless, and waves of heat hit him one after another, burning his armor.
"Your Highness, please leave!"
The group of people pleaded for their lives one after another. After all, they could not afford the consequences if anything happened to the extremely noble Third Prince of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Bang!" At this moment, another person fell to the ground.
"alert!"
A few people turned their heads and found that the other party had an arrow in the neck. They pulled the reins, looked around, and became alert.
Qin Xin and Jian Po hid in a tree. As they were outnumbered by the enemy, they dared not speak rashly and could only hide in the dark and shoot arrows from behind.
But even so, the two of them still broke out in a cold sweat when they saw Shen Shuyi, who was alone facing dozens of people across the waves of fire.
Someone couldn't control the horse he was riding, and the horse kicked its front hooves forward and rushed out of the heat wave.
But the other half are all Xiao Heyu's confidants. These young men with some abilities all loyally guard Xiao Heyu, making Xiao Heyu look more arrogant and free.
"Your Highness, there is an ambush here! Please leave!" Someone dismounted and knelt in front of him.
"Your Highness, please leave here!"
"Your Highness!!!"
For a moment, more than ten people knelt on the ground, ignoring the scorching heat, and just begged Xiao Heyu to leave as soon as possible.
Shen Shuyi's heart was also in her throat. Just watching this scene, she had to admit that these gamblers who were trying to gain the credit of following the emperor in the struggle for imperial power were really crazy.
Whether it was sincere or false, at least at this moment, these people stayed by Xiao Heyu's side and did not retreat.
Even the arrogant young master of the Chai family showed some iron will at this moment.
Looking at this scene, Shen Shuyi felt both funny and sad.
Are these people trash?
Are they all good-for-nothings?
No, it's not!
Most of them are young talents, or have extraordinary knowledge, or are skilled in martial arts, or have outstanding strategies. There are noble families as well as children from poor families.
These people were recruited by Xiao Heyu, so one can imagine how powerful they are.
What made Shen Shuyi sad was that these people who could have made great achievements and prospered the country were wasting their talents for their own selfish interests.
Just like now, Chai Bin can die for Xiao Heyu without hesitation, but he can also follow his father and betray General Jiang, a brave and patriotic general, without any guilt.
Human nature has always been complex, but when evil people have integrity and when treacherous ministers have persistence, that is the tragedy of a dynasty.
Faced with everyone's pleas for mercy, Xiao Heyu's expression remained unchanged. An arrow shot out through the air and went straight towards Shen Shuyi.
Jianpo's heart tightened and he shot an arrow straight towards Xiao Heyu.
Qin Xin pulled the bow at the same time, trying to block the sharp arrow.
Unfortunately, the person next to Xiao Heyu was not a good-for-nothing, and someone had been watching the two of them.
As soon as Jianpo shot the arrow, Chai Bin held up his sword and blocked the arrow.
The weapons collided, making crisp sounds.
The next moment, a young man in blue clothes on the other side of Xiao Heyu stepped on the horse's back, jumped into the air, and flew straight to the hiding place of Jianpo.
On the other side, Qin Xin's situation was not much better. After the arrow was shot, a deputy general behind Xiao Heyu threw a longbow and hit it at where Qin Xin was.
The sharp arrow grazed Shen Shuyi's hair and hit the wall behind him, causing broken soil to roll down.
The corners of Xiao Heyu's eyes turned red, and his black eyes looked straight at Shen Shuyi. He drew his sword and chopped it on the mount under him.
The majestic horse fell to the ground, and Xiao Heyu climbed onto another horse beside him.
Shen Shuyi's heart sank a little. Xiao Heyu was eloquent, ruthless, and just because the horse could not withstand the effects of the heat wave and the drugs, and was restless, which affected the arrow he shot, Xiao Heyu killed it without hesitation.
Shen Shuyi calculated the time, and the next moment, to everyone's surprise, she jumped into the shallow pit again facing Xiao Heyu.
Everyone in the group was stunned for a moment, as if they had not expected her to do this.
At this time, the horses of the group of people were stretched to their limits, and many people could not bear the thick smoke and heat waves.
Because the pit was not deep enough, the horses became too hot and finally lost control of their owners and rushed out of the shallow pit one after another.
For a moment, Shen Shuyi changed direction with the group again.
And because the horse had been suppressed for a long time, it ran particularly wildly this time, as if it had run wild.
Shen Shuyi took advantage of this time difference and climbed out from the other side.
The girl's body was covered in mud and was blackened by the smoke, but at this moment, her eyes were surprisingly bright.
damn thing!
If she were given a few more years, it might not be clear who would be the prey between Xiao Heyu and her.
It's a pity that God gave her too little time. In just a few months, there was a huge gap in their strength!
Taking advantage of this time, Shen Shuyi left the group far behind.
But her action completely angered Xiao Heyu.
"court death!"
He was a prince, and had never been toyed with like this by a prey. The man became angry and lashed his mount hard on the back with a whip. Ignoring the people behind him, he bypassed the shallow pit and rushed towards Shen Shuyi at a high speed.
Some of Chai Bin and his companions had just dismounted from their horses, but when they saw Xiao Heyu change direction, they immediately got back on their horses and caught up with him.
Shen Shuyi cursed under his breath, regretting that he had never practiced martial arts in his two lifetimes.
Otherwise, I really want to take this opportunity to kill him!
Shen Shuyi didn't have time to think about anything else. His two legs were naturally no match for the BMW that had been running in the mountains and forests all year round.
Not long after, Xiao Heyu caught up.
This time, he didn't waste any more time. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which went straight to Shen Shuyi's back.
Shen Shuyi staggered and quickly leaned forward to avoid it.
Xiao Heyu didn't say any more words. He drew his bow, put on three arrows, and shot one arrow after another at the back of Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi didn't have eyes behind her back, so although she could make some judgments, three arrows were fired at once. After she dodged two, she fell to the ground, and there was no possibility of avoiding the third one.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were gloomy as he looked at the sharp arrow whistling towards him. He felt that he was too reckless today.
But even so, she doesn't regret it.
After all, if one plans every step of his life, weighs every matter, and only considers the pros and cons of everything he says and does, it would be boring.
The next moment, an arrow with golden light broke through the air, like the magic pen that shot down the Golden Crow. It collided head-on with Xiao Heyu's arrow with a cold and fierce momentum that looked down on the world.
The body of this sharp arrow with a golden glow is pitch black, except for the tip which is made of pure gold.
Gold is soft and is the least suitable material for making arrows. But at this moment, Shen Shuyi saw with his own eyes that the arrow was eating away at Xiao Heyu's arrow inch by inch.
After Xiao Heyu's arrow shattered into pieces, the red-gold arrow still flew straight towards Xiao Heyu, with murderous intent, pressing forward step by step.
Different from Xiao Heyu's ruthlessness and sinisterness, the red-gold arrow has its own powerful and mighty force that can swallow the sky and break the earth. It is vast and unstoppable!
