Chapter 6 Bloody Fright(1/2)
"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.
To be continued...
