The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 120: Encountered a sneak attack

"Hahahaha!" Yelü Yuanxiu laughed loudly upon hearing this, his face filled with vanity and pride.

Xiao Heng, on the other hand, sat on horseback, lost in thought, without uttering a word. He was dressed in white riding attire with a dark belt around his waist, and his sword-like eyebrows gave him a heroic air.

The others also disdained to say more to Yelü Yuanxiu, after all, this man was quite a scoundrel.

"Now that everything is ready, let's set off," Jing Fengyao said as he led a red horse over from a distance.

"Wow, what a fine horse!" Lowe exclaimed upon seeing the horse.

Although they were riding fine steeds, they were still inferior to Jing Fengyao's. But this was, after all, the Jing Kingdom, so no one said much. Besides, hunting was all about riding and archery skills.

“A fiery red-brown horse,” Xia Tingfu blurted out.

"Prince Xia has a good eye," Jing Fengyao said.

Seeing Jing Fengyao approach, Xiao Heng finally spoke, "This horse should come from the Western Regions. Its limbs are strong and powerful, and its bloodline is pure. It should be extremely fast when it runs."

"Haha, you are all very knowledgeable and have a great understanding of horses. I admire you! I admire you!" Jing Fengyao said politely. After speaking, he mounted his horse with clean and neat movements, and the hem of his blue robe quickly turned a beautiful arc in the air.

For a moment, the conversation turned to horses again.

"I see you're all talking about this horse endlessly, aren't you? We in Dongyuan Kingdom have as many horses as we want!" Yelü Yuanxiu said disdainfully.

Yelü Yuanxiu originally wanted to show off, but no one responded to him. Only Luo Wei spoke up, "Brother Yelü is right, let's see who's the best then!"

After speaking, Lovi raised his whip and rode off. Yelü Yuanxiu would not allow anyone to take the lead, so he reined in his horse and followed closely behind.

The remaining group exchanged glances and set off one after another. The sound of horses' hooves echoed across the hunting grounds, except for Xiao Heng and Qi Zhi, who remained still.

"Your Highness, please!" Xiao Heng gripped the reins, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Qi Zhi smiled and said, "Prince Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. Why don't we set off together?"

"it is good!"

After saying that, the two of them spurred their horses and galloped into the woods. The horses ran wildly, their steps like shooting stars, kicking up clouds of dust.

……

The carriage swayed and rocked, almost spilling the tea in Murong Peifeng's hand. The mountain road was difficult to travel, and Murong Peifeng immediately knew that they had left the capital.

Sure enough, Gao An's voice came from outside the carriage, "Your Highness, we have arrived at Shida Ridge. Shall we rest for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Peifeng opened the small window and saw his subordinates behind him, all looking somewhat tired. They had been traveling for most of the day. "Then let's rest for half an hour."

"Yes." Gao An received the order and went to relay the message.

Although there was no sun today, the afternoon heat was intense. Although the carriage was shady, it was stuffy. Murong Peifeng simply got out of the carriage to stretch his muscles.

Before me lay lush greenery, with tall trees and thickets, a scene reminiscent of the Jiangnan region. Strangely, just a hundred meters away, there was a cliff, and looking across, the other side was a desolate sea of ​​stones.

Murong Peifeng stared in that direction, lost in thought, completely unaware of what was happening behind him.

Gao An was relieving himself in the woods when he heard the rustling of the trees. He immediately became alert, quickly picked up his sword, and turned around to use the blade to block the sneak attack from behind.

"Who?"

In a short while, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. After only a few moves, Gao An recognized his opponent.

He took several steps back, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Are you from the Qi Kingdom?"

The masked man in black seemed not to hear Gao An's words and continued his attack, and the two started fighting again.

Murong Peifeng's situation wasn't much better. Most of the corpses had already fallen behind him, and his right hand was injured. He was outnumbered and surrounded on the edge of the cliff.

"Who is it? Who sent them?" Murong Peifeng was pale from blood loss.

The leader of the men in black walked up to Murong Peifeng without saying a word. Just as he raised his knife, he was stopped by a flying dagger.

Sure enough, the man in black's gaze was drawn to Gao An, whose clothes were stained with blood, a testament to the intensity of the battle that had just taken place.

“Gao An!” Murong Peifeng called out.

"Your Highness!" Gao An seemed to be holding on to his last breath before fainting.

"Impressive skills! Well then, I'll send you all to meet the King of Hell!"

Just as the man in black was about to make a move, Murong Peifeng struggled to his feet and launched a sneak attack with a hidden weapon. Instantly, all the men in black in front of him fell to the ground.

"You?" The leader of the men in black suddenly turned around.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Before the man in black could react, Murong Peifeng had already plunged his sword into his left shoulder.

But the man in black was no pushover either. He used his strength, and Murong Peifeng couldn't withstand it, so he was thrown off the cliff with a single blow.

The poison on the sword quickly took effect, and the man in black stumbled and looked down the cliff. It was hundreds of meters high and bottomless. He figured that Murong Peifeng would either die from the poison or fall to his death.

The sword was deeply embedded, and its potent poison left the man in black no time to care for the unconscious Gao An. As he ran back, he could barely stand; the sword was poisoned, and he had to take medicine immediately.

After an unknown amount of time, Gao An, who was lying on the ground, finally managed to open his eyes. The sky had darkened, and he seemed to hear birds chirping. He struggled to sit up and then remembered what had happened.

"Where is the prince? The prince! The prince!" Gao An shouted loudly, his heart pounding at the sight of the corpses scattered all over the ground.

He quickly looked towards the cliff. Below lay a vast, unfathomable forest, but for now, he had no choice but to try. He walked along the edge of the cliff for several dozen meters before finding a sturdy vine. Although the cliff was steep, there was some friction, and with his excellent lightness skill, he slowly followed the vine downwards.
