Chapter 218 Is there an assassin?

Xie Yuan ran briskly through the withered grass, avoiding the sight of others along the way, until he saw Prince Mu He and many people wandering aimlessly on horseback in the distance.

She is far away, but she can't get closer.

If you get closer, you will be easily noticed if you make a sound. At this time, if you are far away, it will be difficult to identify the direction of the sound. Stop when you make a sound, and then find another place to hide.

Xie Yuan squatted down, really like a small animal, hiding himself silently in the grass. Through the gap in the grass, he looked at the crowd in the distance.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the dry grass leaves to tremble, tickling her face.

Xie Yuan slowly took out the whistle from the inside of his belt, looked at it, took a deep breath, and blew it on his mouth.

A crisp and childish voice came out, much louder and louder than she expected. Xie Yuan was so frightened that he quickly relaxed, lowered his body, and observed the people in front of him.

Several people heard it... raised their necks and looked around for the source of the sound. Then they were discussing with their companions.

After deliberation, they reported to Prince Mu He and saw the man pointing his finger, which happened to be in the direction of Xie Yuan.

Everyone, including Prince Mu He, looked towards Xie Yuan. Then they shook their reins and galloped towards here...

They all rode horses, Xie Yuan only had two legs.

When Xie Yuan watched them riding strong horses, holding bows and arrows, approaching her in a line, a sense of fear naturally arose in her heart.

The feeling of being a prey is so bad...

She lowered her body, moved quickly through the grass using her hands and feet, and ran with all her strength.

You must keep the distance before they catch up! Otherwise, once you get close, people will easily find out that she is a human being, not a prey, and all your efforts will be wasted.

Fortunately, the mountainous terrain is complex. Although the terrain is relatively gentle, it is still difficult for horses to keep running on it.

Xie Yuan did not dare to relax and ran non-stop, choosing places with complicated terrain to hide. She waited until those chasing people had deviated from the direction or were far away before she blew the second blow.

Just like that... after blowing three times in a row, those people were already very close to the place where the trap was set.

But... there were too many people following.

Xie Yuan lay on the ground and looked at them, frowning as he couldn't help but feel a headache... Not to mention that it was impossible for so many people to fake it into an accident.

The key is that she is alone against so many people, whether she can win is a question.

She was stumped and lay on the ground for a long time without moving... She didn't know whether or how to blow this last whistle...

At this moment, Xie Yuan felt a slight sound of dead grass being trampled on the other side.

She quickly looked behind her cautiously, and saw a black figure in the distance carrying a bow and arrow, hunched over, sneaking back towards her.

Xie Yuan held his breath, his pupils shrank, and he could recognize it from the profile of the man's face that occasionally showed when he looked around.

Isn't he the assassin who assassinated Shen Liuzhen?

The assassin was chased by Shen Liuzhen's honor guard... Could it be that he was never caught and instead was chased here?

Xie Yuan looked into the distance... Sure enough, the honor guard was riding a horse to the east, looking around.

To the south, Prince Mu He and the others were slowly approaching her...

Xie Yuan cursed in his heart... There are too many damn people!

The trap is nearby, but she will probably be discovered before she can lure Prince Mu He over!

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth anxiously, looking at the assassin who was slowly approaching, and then at Prince Mu He and the others.

If this continues, the assassin will discover her first and then alert others.

Xie Yuan's heart was beating "dong-dong" in her chest due to nervousness, as if it was deafening. It felt like the ground was shaken by her heartbeat.

No...you have to strike first!

Before the assassin finds her, shoot that person to death with one arrow! Anyway, he is hiding his head and tail now. If he can die quietly there...

Xie Yuan thought of this, his eyes fixed on the assassin for a moment, and he slowly and carefully took off the bow on his back.

She raised her body, drew out an arrow, and quietly attached it, fully drew the bow, and aimed at the one not far away through the gaps between branches and grass. Because she was focused on avoiding the honor guard, she did not realize that she was facing the guard of honor.

An assassin in danger.

Xie Yuan's hand was very steady, the wind gently rustled through the weeds, her long and strong fingers were hooked on the bowstring, and as soon as she let go... the opponent would be hit by an arrow in the neck and die immediately!

The moment she was about to let go, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She immediately stood up from the grass, with a tall and straight posture and a rainbow of momentum. She loosened her fingers that were full of bow strings...

The arrow was shot in the direction of Prince Mu He, who was getting closer and closer in the distance!

I saw the arrow fly through the air, and with a "swish" sound, it hit the tree next to a general! The arrow tail made a low buzz due to the violent shaking.

Xie Yuan immediately squatted down, lying in the grass, his whole body pressed to the ground, his eyes shining with the deep light of a leopard, looking at the assassin not far away.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!" The generals who reacted were shouting, and the crowd was shouting and the place was in chaos.

The assassin, who was focused on avoiding the honor guard, was startled when he heard this movement. He turned his head and looked south. He saw many people from Prince Muhe shouting and looking in this direction.

He quickly looked in the direction of the honor guard again...

Because someone was shouting, the honor guard in the west who was looking for someone was also attracted by this time, and they all looked this way.

The assassin was stunned, as if he didn't understand why he was suddenly discovered.

But there was no time for him to think about it. He hesitated for a moment, turned around immediately, and ran towards the north using the cover of the terrain.

How could there be any reason for such huge movements and movements not to be discovered? It instantly attracted two people to hunt him down.

The people of the honor guard and the people of Prince Mu He gathered together, shouting something in Xianbei dialect to each other from a distance on horseback.

Xie Yuan thought to himself: Don't even think about it, they must be exchanging information, saying that the assassin failed to assassinate the imperial envoy Shen Liuzhen, and they pursued him all the way to this place.

Xie Yuan, who had been lying nervously on the ground, had a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

She looked back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart without any guilt: It's not easy to be an assassin, so just ask for your own blessings, brother.

A rapid and intensive sound of horse hooves passed quickly from Xie Yuan's right...

The "buzzing" sound of the ground shaking overwhelmed Xie Yuan's nervous heartbeat, and strangely made Xie Yuan's muscles all over his body relax, and his heart became even calmer.

She looked at Prince Mu He with a deep and calm gaze like a leopard.

But at this time... there were only four soldiers left around him...
