After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Tao Zhu collected the prey and prepared to mount his horse.

But Nangong Yuan came over first and said, "Please collect all these long arrows. I am running out of them."

"But Miss, it's all bloody and it doesn't look good. Can I ask someone to get it?"

She looked around and said, "It's too far. I'm afraid there won't be enough time to go back."

"Okay, then I'll do it, miss, don't dirty your hands."

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "It doesn't matter, what's this little thing?"

After saying that, she took the lead in pulling out the long arrow from the prey.

Fortunately, most of them were usable. She took out a handkerchief and wiped them casually, then put them into the quiver.

"Let's go a little further. I think there are a lot of people here."

Nangong Yuan didn't like crowds, but now that she had hunted a lot of prey, she decided to just stroll around.

The autumn hunting ground is very large, and almost half of the mountain is the royal hunting ground.

There are people watching on weekdays, so any wild animals that approach will be driven away.

The two of them walked together, and Nangong Yuan suddenly raised his eyes.

“Miss...be careful!”

A falcon flew across the sky and swooped towards her.

The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to react.

And the sharp claws were facing Nangong Yuan's beautiful eyes.

"Miss!"

Tao Zhu's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed over, but he was too far away!

boom!

In a flash, Nangong Yuan leaned back, loosened the reins and fell off the horse.

All this happened in an instant, and the next moment Nangong Yuan rolled on the ground, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

call out!

The falcon's speed was limited in the jungle, and the attack just now was very swift. It failed and immediately slid to a nearby place.

But the long arrow was faster, and the sharp arrowhead that cut through the air pierced the falcon's wings and nailed it to the tree trunk.

"Ah, miss, are you okay?"

Tao Zhu arrived at this time. She stumbled and quickly got up. Her heart was beating so violently that she felt like she was going to faint for a moment.

"fine."

Nangong Yuan shook her head, looked at the falcon that was nailed to the book and was screaming and flapping its wings, and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

No one in Kyoto raises such a ferocious bird of prey. This is the first time Nangong Yuan has seen one.

The falcon looks amazing with its arms spread out; it is a large bird of prey, and a leader among them.

"do not know."

Tao Zhu took a few steps forward, chopped the falcon to death neatly, and said, "There seems to be some movement ahead."

"Go over and have a look."

Nangong Yuan also heard the tiny sounds.

The closer we got, the stronger the smell of blood in the air became.

"Do it!"

The clumsy sound was a little strange. Before Nangong Yuan had time to think about it, a stray arrow flew towards him.

Tao Zhu quickly knocked it to the ground and looked at the person who was shooting the arrow in the distance.

The man was wearing a long green gown, which made him look very hidden in the woods.

He was a big man with a burly build, and the big bow in his hand was not an ordinary hunting bow, but a weapon.

The expression between Nangong Yuan's eyebrows and eyes changed instantly: "Be careful."

Not far away in the woods, some people were lying on the ground, and some were fighting back desperately.

"Fifth Prince, hurry up!"

The guards surrounded the fifth prince, and many of them had already fallen to the ground.

"go!"

But the man in blue standing on a high place not far away sneered: "You can't leave."

Nangong Yuan immediately drew her bow. The smell of blood at the tip of her nose was still very strong, with a hint of rust, but it made her blood boil.

call out!

The person who rushed over fell down before he got close.

In the eyes of the Fifth Prince, the assassins who pounced on him fell one after another, with confusion on their faces when they died.

Nangong Yuan curled her lips: "Fifth Prince, this way!"

Xiao Weiye, who was usually calm, also had a slightly changed expression.

Nangong Yuan waved her hand: "You're welcome."

The man quickly came over with his men.

The man in blue saw this and his face darkened: "You are looking for death."

Then he shot an arrow.

This was a heavy arrow, completely different from the one used for hunting, so Nangong Yuan was the first to draw out his sword and cut it in half.

"It is not advisable to stay here for long, Your Highness, let's go."

After saying that, Xiao Weiye nodded, and the group disappeared into the woods.

The other side suffered heavy losses, and so did our side.

Nangong Yuan and Tao Zhu rode one horse, and the other one was given to him.

"Who are these people? Why would they want to attack Your Highness for no reason?"

Xiao Weiye shook his head: "I don't know either, but that man in green doesn't look like a Central Plains person."

"Really? His accent is a little strange, but the royal hunting grounds are not accessible to ordinary people. How come they are here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Weiye said, "This place is very close to the restricted area of ​​the mountain range. There are a large number of wild beasts over there. I guess they came from there."

"That's quite a feat, being able to get through there."

Nangong Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he pondered what was happening.

By the way, is this part in the plot?

She is a passerby NPC, and many important plots are experienced by the male and female protagonists together, so Nangong Yuan is not very clear about it.

So she opened the task panel and took a look.

"Well, it seems that this has been mentioned before."

"Since Liu Qingyue disappeared during the autumn hunt, Gu Zian searched for her for a long time with great fanfare. Unexpectedly, he uncovered a case of assassination by an alien race. The target of the assassination was... Hmm? King Li?"

Nangong Yuan bit her lip and said, "Something's wrong... I saw that their main force was clearly going to kill the Fifth Prince, why did it become Prince Li?"

She was full of thoughts, but didn't say much.

"Let's go this way. Those people won't give up. We need to join up with the Royal Guards as soon as possible."

This autumn hunt will be defended and protected by the Imperial Guards, the Jinwu Guards, and the eight major camps.

So there are people guarding everywhere.

But it seems that there is none here.

"Are you sure there are guards here? How..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a corpse hidden under the leaves.

"what is that?"

Someone immediately stepped forward to check: "Your Highness, this is the Royal Guards!"

"Quick, check it out!"

The guards dug for a long time and found a big pit with more than a dozen people buried in it, all of them were imperial guards.

Nangong Yuan felt a chill on his back and said, "Looking at the degree of decay of these people's bodies, they have been dead for more than three days. What's going on?"

There were so many people at the royal hunting grounds, and her mother was there too.

If these assassins were to infiltrate and approach posing as royal guards, the consequences would be disastrous.

Nangong Yuan bit her lip tightly: "Your Majesty, they are in danger, we must go back quickly!"

She quickly sorted out the information she had gathered in her mind and discovered that this group of people might be targeting more than just the Third Prince.

Moreover, it was obvious that this group of people had been planning this for a long time and it was impossible for them to give up easily.

If Liu Qingyue died, it would be even more terrible.

"go!"
