Light Red Northern Song

"After tomorrow's rest, will Mr. Qiao go hunting with the princes? Or with the second sister?"

"Her highness should follow His Royal Highness Second Princess to watch the platform. Second Princess learned riding and archery when she was young, but she doesn't like hunting. On the contrary, Third Princess is very skilled in martial arts. She has also traveled around the rivers and lakes and hunts together every year."

"Oh, yes, I didn't hear that the Second Royal Sister likes to dance swords and swords. I see that she also brought a qin. Does she caress the qin?"

"The second princess is elegant. She has learned to play the piano since she was a child, and she often plays it in the palace."

"Oh...how long has the emperor been ill?" An Ning could almost conclude that she was looking for something to say.

"It's been a long time. His Majesty probably started to get ill when he was young, but it wasn't as serious as it is now."

The leaves in the forest are rustling, although the moonlight is good, the people around are very annoying.An Ning suddenly felt that it was really meaningless for her to have nothing to say tonight.She didn't know who she was angry with, so she turned around and walked away, saying, "Master Qiao, let's go back when the wind blows."

At this moment, she felt a strong murderous aura rushing towards her.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

With a sound of "Zheng", the ear-piercing sound of metal impact invaded An Ning's eardrums. There was a golden light shining in front of his eyes, and the figure flipped. Two men in black were holding long knives and attacking Qiao Jinzhi one after the other.

"Your Highness, step back!"

The two people who were attacking Qiao Jinzhi separated from the left and the right. They came prepared, with high martial arts skills, and they kept swinging their long knives, pointing their knives at An Ning.In a blink of an eye, Qiao Jinzhi stood up and stabbed one of the men in black with a long sword in her right hand, and then jumped back in front of An Ning to intercept the long knife that the other man in black slashed at her.

An Ning was caught off guard by this sudden change, the situation in front of him was chaotic, and swords clashed with each other.Although he has practiced internal strength and swordsmanship over the years, he has never fought against anyone, nor has he encountered tonight's situation.She retreated subconsciously, not knowing what to do for a while.

Qiao Jin's swordsmanship is clear and sharp, and the wind of the sword is fierce. With the snap of her fingers, she is in an indistinguishable fight with the two men in black.An Ning could see that her internal strength was much higher than her own, and she was fighting the man in black with her exquisite swordsmanship and erratic figure.

She regained her senses and tried to get rid of the three of them several times, and went to the camp to call the guards first, but the man in black tightly bit her movements and tried to get closer.And Qiao Jinzhi also entangled the two of them, preventing them from getting closer to An Ning.One of the men in black was slightly weaker in martial arts. He spun around with his long knife, caught Qiao Jinzhi when his companion was entangled again, avoided her, and rushed towards An Ning.Qiao Jinzhi was entangled by a stronger man in black, holding a sword in his right hand, and touched his waist with his left hand, but suddenly his arm trembled, his left hand lost strength, and the dagger brought out from his waist fell to the grass.

An Ning knew that Qiao Jinzhi's left hand was not working hard, so even if she wanted to save herself at this moment, she would be powerless.Without thinking about it, she dodged her body and ran towards the woods. Her movements were so fast that everything happened in an instant.In the forest, she used the surrounding tree trunks to dodge left and right, and did not make a move, only dodging.

Qiao Jinzhi didn't see how An Ning avoided the man in black's attack, but only knew that they ran into the depths of the forest together.She only felt sweat on her forehead, and she was extremely anxious, and she exerted all her strength to make a quick decision.

The man in black didn't expect An Ning to be so fast that he would be able to evade him time and time again with three or two steps.He was both surprised and anxious, and his body and footwork gradually became a little messy.At this moment, Qiao Jinzhi rushed up from behind and stabbed him with a sword.He dodged to the right in a panic, turned around and blocked with a long knife.Because things exceeded his expectations and his physical strength was exhausted too quickly, he began to show some fatigue.

Seeing that Qiao Jinzhi arrived, An Ning stopped dodging and just watched nearby, but unexpectedly, the man in black who was fighting took out a dart from his arms with his left hand and shot it at him.Seeing this, Qiao Jinzhi threw her long sword at the man in black regardless of other things, and galloped towards An Ning with her right hand behind her head, throwing her on the ground.

The dart that pierced the air hit the tree trunk behind the two of them.The man in black focused his attention on An Ning, and never expected that Qiao Jinzhi would drop his weapon, and it happened that he was cut on his right arm by the thrown long sword, and the long sword dropped from his hand.He knew that today's matter would not be accomplished, and if the time dragged on for a long time, he might leave a clue to the other party, so he covered his wound and fled in another direction.

Qiao Jinzhi stood up quickly, chased after the other party for two steps in the direction of fleeing, and then turned back to An Ning.An Ning stood up and saw Qiao Jinzhi frowning tightly, sweat dripped from his forehead, and looked at his whole body from top to bottom.

"Your Highness, you are incompetent in a humble position, have you ever been injured?" Qiao Jinzhi was relieved to see that there were no obvious wounds on the master's body, but she still asked worriedly.

Through the faint moonlight, An Ning saw dark blood splattered on the other guard's uniform, and asked anxiously, "Has Mr. Qiao ever been injured?"

Qiao Jinzhi was a little surprised when he heard the words, and quickly said, "Your Highness, hurry back to the camp."

Qiao Jinzhi felt a dull pain in her left shoulder blade. While looking behind her and to the left and right, she walked towards the tent while protecting her master.The two walked very quickly, and their steps touched the wound. She frowned slightly and hummed softly.

An Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of her, and asked, "Is your lord injured?"

"It's just a skin injury, Your Highness, hurry up." Qiao Jinzhi looked around, without any intention of staying longer.

Seeing that she was very anxious, An Ning knew that she was worried about the assassin's accomplices around her, so she didn't want to make more troubles and make her worry.So he stopped asking, turned around and quickened his pace.

There was a lot of noise outside the camp, and Chu Shanyi knew that someone was assassinating An Ning in the forest, so he arranged for soldiers to search the entire hunting ground.At this time, she looked at her niece sitting quietly at the bottom, and she liked her even more in her heart.

"Yu'er is scary?"

"Aunt Huang, Yu'er is not afraid." An Ning still had half a sentence to say, but she didn't dare to say it casually.

"Since you are not afraid, you don't need to return to the palace early tomorrow. You should stay here as usual. I want to show the person who harmed you. Not only is my niece safe and sound, but she doesn't care about his harm at all. But don't worry. , I will send more people to protect you."

"The emperor's aunt can arrange it." An Ning responded flatly, looking a little distracted.

"Your two close servants are not able to serve you well, how will I deal with them?"

"Don't blame them, it's because Yu'er doesn't like being followed."

"Don't you like being followed?" Chu Shanyi looked at the other person's face thoughtfully.After a while, he said: "Okay, I still have some things to do, you should go back to the tent first."

As the light rain fell, An Ning walked among the barracks. She thought of Qiao Jinzhi's disregard for safety in times of crisis, even throwing away the weapon in his hand just to rest his head with his only right hand.How can you be so considerate and so stupid?Before she was assassinated tonight, she still blamed the man for his contempt towards her, but now that she thinks about it, it was clear that the other party had something on her mind, and maybe she really didn't want to chat with her for a walk.

Although the injury to Qiao Jinzhi's left scapula was not deep, it was rather large and bled profusely.At this time, her wound has been treated properly, and she is lying on the wooden bed in the guard camp.

Xie Yuan went straight into the tent, walked to the bed and said loudly: "Jinzhi, didn't I tell you to stop working in the palace and act like a man in public. You are just a woman, why are you so brave?"

"Master Xie might be inappropriate for entering your subordinate's tent like this, please leave quickly." Qiao Jinzhi said without moving with her eyes closed.

"Hmph! Don't you always look down on me! Back then you were just talking when you rejected me, but now you are just a woman with a disabled arm. Do you think you are still a third-rank general? I, Xie Yuan, the head of the palace guard camp Commander, you have been humble in front of you for so many years. What are you doing? The empress knows my intentions. Sooner or later, you will enter my Xie family's door and be my Xie Yuan's concubine! Now don't be ignorant , I will regret it by then!" Xie Yuan shouted angrily.

"Master Xie is really shameless and shameless! This subordinate is tired, please go back!"

"The president of the guard battalion has such a great official authority. He is really majestic and intimidating everywhere..." An Ning heard the conversation between the two clearly outside the tent.Leaving aside the guards and entourage, she walked straight to the bed and sat down while talking. She stroked the quilt with her right hand, and her subordinates exerted a slight force to stop Qiao Jinzhi who was about to stand up and salute.

"Your Majesty Xie Yuan is attending Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xie Yuan didn't know how he offended Princess An Ning, and hurriedly saluted in surprise.

"Master Xie can belittle your own reputation, but don't hurt Master Qiao's reputation. Only once today, don't want to have another time! Get out." Anning's princess airs are beautiful at this time.

Xie Yuan knew that the empress loved this niece very much and did not dare to disobey her, so she prepared to resign.

"Master Xie," An Ning felt that the alarm bell was not ringing enough just now, so she stopped Xie Yuan who was retreating, and asked arrogantly: "Jin Zhijin, is it you who should call? Or, anyway, the emperor's aunt Knowing your will, even she has to listen to your thank you sir, so you can act recklessly and do whatever you want?"

"Ah! I don't dare!" Xie Yuan really didn't dare to take the big hat, so he quickly knelt down and shouted.

An Ning caught his sore foot right now, who made him not know how to be cautious in his words and deeds?Xie Yuan moved out of Chu Shanyi originally to threaten Qiao Jinzhi, but now he regretted it.

"Don't dare to be the best." An Ning paused for a moment, then asked again: "Is your lord still waiting for tea?"

"Your official will resign now, and I will resign now." Xie Yuan was sweating coldly, and retreated hastily.

"It's like dung! It will stain your eyes once you see it!" An Ning was very angry.She was angry with this society where men are superior to women, she was angry that Xie Yuan insulted Qiao Jinzhi as a useless woman with a broken arm, and she was angry that Xie Yuan called Qiao Jinzhi so familiarly.She was so angry that she confused herself.

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" Qiao Jin asked An Ning with bright eyes.

"I don't know!" An Ning was still angry.

"Everyone is gone, are your eyes still dirty?" Qiao Jinzhi asked again.

An Ning lowered her head to look at the person on the bed, looked and looked, and said in a muffled voice for a while: "Not dirty."

She knew that Qiao Jinzhi's shoulder was injured when the two separated. The other party saw her being chased into the woods by the man in black and arrived soon after.She could probably guess how hard Qiao Jinzhi was trying to kill that martial arts assassin in such a short time.Now she saw that the other party's face was pale, as if he was extremely tired, and she was even more sure of her guess.

"It's too late. Master Qiao, please rest. I'll come and see you tomorrow." Among the people An Ning knew, Qiao Jinzhi always felt relatively safe to her.Although she herself didn't know the reason for this, after this incident, she just thought that the other party was not only safe, but more at ease.This peace of mind made her unwilling to call herself Bengong in private.
