Chapter 244: Ambush

Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's face was cold and stern. A flicker of a smile crossed his amber eyes before vanishing just as quickly.This kid, he's been way too spoiled lately. It's time to teach him a lesson...."Great, I can finally get some good rest." 。Finally able to get out and stretch her limbs, Su Qingying was beyond excited. She threw open the curtains and jumped right out of the carriage. 。With a contented stretch, Su Qingying raised her eyebrows and eyes, her phoenix-like eyes sparkling with excitement. She eagerly said, "Rong Fei, Xi'er, come down quickly. Tonight we're having some wild game" 。My craftsmanship is quite good, you know. Tonight I'll show you a couple of things and really open your eyes. 。"Alright, coming right up!" Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei and Xi Er excitedly crawled out of the carriage. 。Just thinking about that delicious game meat, their saliva was about to flow. 。Jun Liye picked up a bow and arrow that he was skilled with, rode his horse to block Su Qingying's path, and frowned, his handsome brows unyielding as he broke her fantasy. "Ying'er, you stay here, I'll go with Jing Hong to get some wild game for you. Don't run around." 。"No, I've been cooped up all day. It's rare that I get to show off my skills, so I'm not staying here. I'm going hunting with you guys." 。Su Qingying, of course, refused. She took a bow and arrow, strapped it to her back, and mounted a steed. Her eyes, which usually held the grace of flowing water, now shone with excitement, sparkling like gems. She wouldn't stay put under any circumstances. 。Seeing this, Jun Liye tightened her grip even further. She looked at Ying'er with a grave expression and said, "Ying'er, don't be foolish. It's getting late, it's too dangerous out here, I'm not comfortable leaving you..." 。"What are you afraid of We're here, aren't we Come on, stop dawdling. I'm starving!" 。Su Qingying rolled her eyes, unconcernedly saying, 。 In her past life, she spent most of her time in the jungle to complete her missions. The jungle was like her home, and she was the king of the jungle! Who could defy her in the jungle A joke! “Master, wait for me, I’m going too! I haven’t fought any wild animals yet” 。Finally having the opportunity to go hunting herself, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei was very excited. She immediately took a bow and arrow and skipped happily behind her. 。Okay, let's go together. 。Su Qingying smiled brightly and reached out to help Xuanyuan Rongfei onto the horse. The two rode together on one steed. 。"Princess, you all left, what about me" Xi'er ran up, looking up at them with her charming and lovely face, unable to hide the excitement and nervousness in her eyes. 。Unable to bear to shatter the anticipation in her eyes, Su Qingying apologized, "You don't know martial arts, and I wouldn't feel safe letting you come with us. Xi'er, just wait here for us. Don't worry, it won't be long, we'll be back soon." 。"

There's no way, it's not that she doesn't want to take her with, it's just that the forest at night is too dangerous, especially since she's a woman who doesn't know martial arts. I can't always look after her safety. Leaving her here is undoubtedly the best>>> 。As soon as these words left his mouth, Xi'er's eyes dimmed for a moment. Su Qingying didn't miss the fleeting disappointment that flashed in her eyes, and her heart ached even more. 。"Mo Xuan, you stay here and protect Xi Er's safety" 。With Mo Xuan by her side, she probably wouldn't be this miserable. 。"Well " 。Mo Xuan emerged from the shadows, his eyes softening as he looked at Xi'er. 。Her face flushed crimson under his gaze. Xi'er suppressed the disappointment in her heart and quickly adjusted her mood, a smile returning to her face. "Then Princess, be careful yourselves, go quickly and come back soon. Mo Xu and I will be waiting for you here." 。Upon seeing this, Su Qingying let out a slight sigh of relief. With a flick of her whip, she exuded an air of heroism between her brows, "Come on, Rongfei, let's go hunt some wild game." 。The horses kicked up dust, leaving Jun Liye far behind. 。"Ying'er!" Jun Liye tightly pursed her red lips, her eyes filled with worry. 。"Forget it, Blackheart Night. You know how capable that little girl is; who could possibly stop her Let her go. With us here, nothing major can happen." 。Shangguan Jinghong rode a steed to his side and patted him on the shoulder. 。This girl is a real demon! She doesn't cause trouble for others, and yet she expects them to provoke her What a fool! "Sigh, this girl is getting more and more out of control... 。"She let out a soft sigh, Jun Li Ye's eyes filled with resignation." 。Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong let out a light chuckle and glanced at him with a playful smirk. "She's so unrestrained, isn't that all because you spoil her""Hey, you two big men whispering about what Falling in love Hurry up and catch up, or we'll leave you behind!" After waiting for them for a while, Su Qingying couldn't help but stop her horse and turn back to shout. 。"What's the rush This wild animal can't run away, just wait! We're coming!" Shangguan Jinghong had a black line on her forehead. She clamped down on the horse's belly and chased after it, "Hei Xin Ye, let's go..." 。The sun has set, and now the sky is completely dark. 。There were no stars or moon tonight, dark clouds swirled overhead, and a cold wind howled from afar. The forest was silent, not even a bird or cicada chirped.Less than half an hour into the hunt, Su Qingying returned with a bountiful haul in both hands, followed by Jun Liye, who wore white robes that made him appear breathtakingly handsome. 。"Wow! Master, you caught so many wild game! How did you do it" Looking at the spoils in her hands, Xuen Yuan Rongfei's eyes lit up. She suddenly felt that the two rabbits she had caught were pitiful and simply not enough to compare. 。"It's nothing, it's just a small thing." 。Su Qingying shrugged lightly, not feeling anything at all. On the contrary, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on her pretty face with this harvest, “Let’s go back quickly, Xi'er must be waiting anxiously.” 。" "Hmm hmm" 。Xuan Yuan Rong Fei nodded and hurriedly ran to her side, considerately helping her share some of the game. 。Just like when they arrived, Su Qingying and Xuan Yuan Rongfei rode on the same horse, while Jun Liye rode a separate horse with Shangguan Jinghong. 。"Hm It sounds like there's a fight ahead" As they retraced their steps, Su Qingying faintly heard the clash of weapons coming from ahead. She was taken aback, her expression immediately hardening as she gripped the reins and galloped towards the camp. "No good! Xi'er is in danger, we have to go back quickly!"The horses hooves thundered incessantly. As they got closer, they saw that their original campsite had become a sea of fire with bodies strewn everywhere in the blink of an eye! Countless men in black held gleaming swords, slashing at anyone in sight. The forest echoed with agonizing screams and flashes of steel, causing Su Qingying's heart to sink. 。"Goodness me! How could there be so many assassins Who are they Why ambush us" Looking at the group of ruthless, black-clad assassins, Xuen Yuan Rong Fei couldn't help but clutch Su Qing Ying's clothes tightly. Under the firelight, her usually composed face was etched with fear for the first time. 。These black-clad assassins, there are at least two thousand! With such a large force of assassins, the other party must be coming for them! "Xi'er! Xi'er! Where are you" Without replying to Xuanyuan Rongfei, Su Qingying quickly dismounted and rushed into the bloody melee without hesitation. The silver needles in her hand flew out continuously as she anxiously searched for Xi'er everywhere. 。"Princess, I'm here!" As if hearing Su Qingying's voice, Xi'er quietly poked her head out from a bush and the moment she saw her, her tears were almost uncontrollable. 。n Liye narrowed his phoenix eyes as if unintentionally, and softly spoke, “I've heard that the Fifth Princess of Dongyue is strikingly beautiful. I wonder if this king would have the honor to see the...
