Xishan.
The mountain breeze blew through the forest tops, causing a rustling sound.
Jing Heguang was wearing horse riding and shooting clothes, riding a white horse. Beside him was a group of young guys who were also riding horses.
On the high platform, Emperor Yue Feijun announced that the one who hunted the most prey today would be rewarded, then the young men screamed.
Jing Heguang was behind the crowd, peeking at Yue Xingchuan.
Yue Xingchuan rode a big black horse and wore cool black clothes, even his boots were black.
Li Da was hiding in the crowd of those serving palace people and found that the shizi was actually peeking at his general!
Li Da chuckled and said: “Tsk tsk, dare to love you because you are in love and I am interested. I, Li Da, will be Yuelao today!”
After a while, all the people participating in the hunting dispersed. The crowd dispersed in a hurry, so the forest was a little chaotic.
Jing Heguang, riding alone, slowly approached Yue Xingchuan on his white horse.
Jing Heguang was good at archery, but average at horseback riding. Fortunately, Yue Xingchuan also went slowly, so he could keep up in the forest.
There was a turn in the forest, then Yue Xingchuan suddenly turned around at some point. They came face to face only a few meters apart.
Jing Heguang touched his pouch and showed a smile.
When Jing Heguang was about to say thank you for the gold, a cold arrow pierced a tree not far from him.
The arrow was very fast. With the sound of whistling through the air, it plunged into the tree and made a ‘bang’ sound, exploding in Jing Heguang’s ears!
Jing Heguang’s pupils suddenly widened. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
However, as soon as he reacted, he realized that the arrow was extremely powerful. It was definitely intentional!
Jing Heguang hurriedly shouted to Yue Xingchuan: “Be careful, someone is shooting cold arrows!”, then he bent down to pick up the bow and arrows hanging on the horse.
However, before Jing Heguang finished speaking, another sound whistled through the air!
Jing Heguang only had time to turn around when he saw that the second arrow was shooting towards him.
Jing Heguang subconsciously closed his eyes.
At the critical moment, a thought flashed through Jing Heguang’s mind: Death. Death…
However, waiting to die was not Jing Heguang’s style. He tried his best to open his eyes again, trying to dodge.
When he opened his closed eyes, in the blink of an eye, a black shadow flew into Jing Heguang’s view from the side.
Yue Xingchuan was seen flying towards him on horseback, holding a bright cold sword horizontally in his hand, using the back of the sword to accurately block the fast arrows.
‘Sss-‘
Jing Heguang heard the sound of the arrow rubbed against the blade surface at a high speed, and even saw the sparks splashing after the violent friction.
At the moment when the sparks flickered, Yue Xingchuan’s handsome side profile appeared on the edge of the blade, leaving a deep impression on Jing Heguang’s heart.
Jing Heguang’s eyes were blankly chasing Yue Xingchuan, watching him chop down several other flying arrows, and then watching Yue Xingchuan frown and shoot an arrow into the bushes in the distance.
No sooner said than done.
Jing Heguang was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, the arrow shot by Yue Xingchuan had already penetrated into the bushes, and a muffled groan sounded from the bushes.
Jing Heguang calmed down for a moment. He was no longer afraid.
At this moment, Jing Heguang was shouting in his heart:
– He‘s doomed!
Yue Xingchuan stole his heart.
The grace of saving his life, he must pay it with his body!
Seeing Yue Xingchuan being led away by a horse to rush out, Jing Heguang immediately rode to look for Yue Xingchuan: “Sixth Prince, are you okay?!”
As he said that, Jing Heguang looked around worriedly.
It’s really dangerous right now, because if one person can sneak in and shoot cold arrows at the people inside, there might be others who can sneak in too!
When Yue Xingchuan saw that his face turned pale, he was afraid that he would be frightened, so he said: “That man is dead.”
Yue Xingchuan paused and jumped off the horse: “I’m fine. I just rushed too fast so my horse Wu Yun felt a little uncomfortable.” While speaking, Yue Xingchuan secretly patted the horse’s belly with his hand.
Wu Yun, an old war horse who was very familiar with Yue Xingchuan, immediately raised its hoof and neighed twice.
After hearing Wu Yun neighing, Yue Xingchuan frowned and glanced at Jing Heguang’s horse, then looked at Jing Heguang.
“I’m afraid there’s still danger, so we’d better leave immediately.”
Of course Jing Heguang understood such an obvious hint.
Jing Heguang nodded and said, “If the Sixth Prince doesn’t mind, you can ride with Heguang.”
Seeing Jing Heguang agreed, Yue Xingchuan got on Jing Heguang’s horse and sat behind Jing Heguang.
If the situation were different and the two of them were riding together, Jing Heguang’s imaginations would definitely go wild.
However, with such a serious situation now, Jing Heguang gathered all his thoughts and rode his horse forward seriously.
Because of his poor horse-riding skills, Jing Heguang was so focused on riding that he didn’t notice someone hugging his waist.
Yue Xingchuan put his arms around Jing Heguang’s lean waist and thought to himself: This time he saved Jing Heguang’s life as a hero and was ‘accidentally’ injured. As long as he is human, he probably wouldn’t be able to say anything about separating, right?
Those arrows ‘shot’ just right, not touching a hair of Jing Heguang’s head, had achieved the effect Yue Xingchuan wanted.
Yue Xingchuan thought to himself: He will have to ask the cook in the palace to add chicken drumsticks to Li Da for a month later.
***
The two didn’t go very deep into the forest, so they were out of the forest in no time.
Seeing the guards, Jing Heguang immediately shouted loudly: “Quickly go and inform, someone is shooting cold arrows in the forest! The Sixth Prince is also injured, please call the doctor quickly!”
The notice was to prevent more people from being injured by the cold arrows. However, Jing Heguang didn’t care about this since he couldn’t help much, so he relaxed after giving a reminder.
As soon as he relaxed, the smell of blood rushed into his nose.
It was coming from behind…
Jing Heguang turned his head and saw that Yue Xingchuan’s sleeves seemed to be wet.
Yue Xingchuan was wearing black clothes. His eyes could only tell that the black color was getting darker, as if he was wet. The little bit of his inner clothes was exposed and was dyed bright red. Looking closer, he discovered that the wet areas of the black clothes were stained with blood!
This wound must have been caused while rescuing him!
Jing Heguang regretted so much that he had such a slow reaction and didn’t help at all.
Jing Heguang quickly dismounted first, then reached out to help Yue Xingchuan down.
After both of them dismounted, Jing Heguang asked anxiously with a worried look on his face: “Are you seriously injured? Are you feeling unwell?”
The imperial doctor rushed over and asked in panic: “Where is the Sixth Prince injured?!”
Jing Heguang immediately said: “It’s his arm! Look at it quickly!”
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor immediately opened Yue Xingchuan’s torn sleeve and inspected the wound.
After finding that the blood color of the wound was normal and there was nothing but blood stains, he checked his pulse, then said with relief, “This wound is not serious, it’s just an external injury. I’ll have to ask your highness to take off your outer clothes to clean the wound first.”
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he looked at Yue Xingchuan a little embarrassed.
Although the prince is injured now, he still has a straight face. The scar on his face and his aura of keeping strangers away was all over his body, making him look so scary that the imperial doctor does not dare to take action directly.
It had been a long time since Yue Xingchuan had been well-served by someone. Then, he raised his hand, wanting to take off his clothes with both hands.
After all, this is how he usually does in the military camp.
Hearing that something happened in Yue Xingchuan, Yue Xingchuan’s soldiers also rushed over nervously. Now they pushed the hunting grounds’ guards aside and stood in a circle.
However, after hearing the imperial doctor’s words, they all regained their composure.
Small injury, not poisonous, nothing serious.
They had no reaction when they saw Yue Xingchuan trying to take off his clothes.
As a result, just when Yue Xingchuan raised his arm, Jing Heguang grabbed his hand.
“Your highness, you can’t move your injured arm! If you move, the wound will definitely bleed again. You were injured to save Heguang, so Heguang helped you undress.”
Jing Heguang undressed Yue Xingchuan apologetically, and even before he saw the wound, he felt distressed.
The imperial doctor didn’t have to take off the Sixth Prince’s clothes himself, so he felt at ease.
But the soldiers under Yue Xingchuan were all stunned.
The lord shizi from Marquis Zhennan Mansion is too brave! He’s not afraid of their generals at all??
When they returned to the city that day, no one in the city dared to throw a flower to their general!
This shizi, who looks like a pretty boy, actually dares to take off their general’s clothes?!
Li Da also came back after changing his clothes and made a gesture to the soldiers to stay still.
However, when he saw Jing Heguang stripping off his general’s clothes so naturally, Li Da was also shocked.
Fuck! This is a bit wild!
This shizi is so wild that he dares to directly take off the general’s clothes!
His general was even more wild. With his general’s skill, he would have no problem dodging those arrows…
Jing Heguang quickly took off Yue Xingchuan’s outer clothes, leaving only his inner robe.
Then, one sleeve of Yue Xingchuan’s only inner robe was cut off, and the imperial doctor began to treat the wound.
While the imperial doctor was working, Jing Heguang held his clothes and frowned.
Although the wound on Yue Xingchuan’s arm was not very deep, it was long and looked quite serious.
But Yue Xingchuan didn’t say a word on the way out of the forest, and he didn’t even frown when it was clean.
Jing Heguang thought: Doesn’t it hurt? Or maybe Yue Xingchuan is used to this kind of pain? Is this injury insignificant to him?
Jing Heguang looked at the scars on Yue Xingchuan’s face, and then at his entire exposed arm. Then he saw that there were several scars on Yue Xingchuan’s arm, some were long and some were short, some were new and some were old.
Jing Heguang raised his head again and glanced at Yue Xingchuan’s soldiers. As expected, no one was worried. There were even a few looking at him with smiles.
Jing Heguang felt depressed. How much hardship had they endured? Only then can they collectively ignore this kind of injury.
Jing Heguang looked at Yue Xingchuan again, his eyes filled with distress.
Yue Xingchuan was looked at distressingly by Jing Heguang, his face was cold but his heart was a little warm.
Although he had deceived Jing Heguang, Jing Heguang seemed quite conscientious and knew how to worry about him.
After bandaging the wound, the imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and warned: “Although your highness’s wound is not very serious, please don’t get it wet and don’t use force. It will take half a month to heal.”
The sixth prince, Yue Xingchuan, was the emperor’s brother, the imperial doctor cannot afford to make any mistakes.
But to the injured person, this small hole is the same as no injury.
Yue Xingchuan nodded indifferently: “Mm.”
The wound had just been treated here, who knew something would happen on the other side.
In the sky to the east of the enclosure, several beams of red smoke exploded one after another, which was very obvious in the daytime.
The guards attached to the enclosure were startled when they saw the red smoke.
“Go to the east quickly, a large number of assassins have sneaked in!”
“Everyone gather in one place and don’t run around!”
A group of guards gave instructions before turning and rushing towards the east.
Yue Xingchuan remembered that the empress dowager and the others were in the east, so with a whistle, he called Wu Yun to his side and got on his horse.
Jing Heguang held his Xiao Bai and said worriedly: “You are injured!”
“My imperial mother is over there.” Yue Xingchuan said. Thinking that this person would not be safe here, he stretched out his hand towards him, “Get on my horse!”
Jing Heguang is too weak, and his horse-riding skills are also not good, so he feels relieved to have him by his side.
Yue Xingchuan wanted to go over to find the empress dowager, so Jing Heguang didn’t hold him back any longer. Therefore, he directly held Yue Xingchuan’s uninjured hand and used his strength to get on the horse.
As soon as Jing Heguang got on his horse and sat down, Yue Xingchuan drove Wu Yun ahead and ran towards the east of the enclosure with his soldiers.
Jing Heguang felt the speed of the galloping horse and hugged Yue Xingchuan’s waist tightly.
Too fast!
It wasn’t that the waist-hugging progress was too fast, but that the horse was moving too fast. Jing Heguang felt like…vomiting.
However, wasn’t Yue Xingchuan’s horse frightened before?
How can it run faster than Xiao Bai now???
T/N: Yuelao is the old guy on the moon, the guy tying the red string of fate thingy.
