princess is everywhere

When Xinwang's carriage left, Anyang and Xu Mu were still watching the fun in the flower fair.

There are a lot of people traveling during the Flower Festival, and those who have been bored all winter finally wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, so they are naturally willing to go out for a walk.Especially those young men and women, who are already lively and active, at this time they are even calling friends to meet up for a trip.

When there are too many people, especially young people, there will be a lot of excitement. In spring, all things come back to life, and animals are in courtship season. Naturally, young people who are young in spring will not hesitate to show their demeanor in front of the ladies. .Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of outing, there are those who recite poems and compose Fu, and there are also those who play martial arts, and those who show their appearance with all their strength are like peacocks spreading their tails.

Xu Mu and Anyang walked along the way, and the bustle they saw the most was made by these young people.They first watched a tit-for-tat literary competition and poetry writing, and now they saw another martial arts competition and archery competition ahead.

"There are a lot of people around in front, let's go and have a look too." Anyang is also rare to leave the palace, watching the lively scene.

Xu Mu came to accompany Anyang today, so naturally he didn't refuse.

She protected Anyang and squeezed into the inner circle all the way, when she saw a boy in white commanding his servants to move the arrow target back, a full fifty steps back, then she raised her chin and asked her opponent, "Is this distance enough?" Is it? If it succeeds, let's compare and see who can shoot accurately."

Unexpectedly, the opponent was even more arrogant than him, so he raised his hand and said: "Ten steps back."

The servant glanced this way, and moved the target ten steps back as promised.

Seeing that the target was far away, the red heart could hardly be seen clearly, and the young man who spoke later raised his eyebrows proudly, and asked, "Do you still dare to compare now?"

How could a young man be willing to admit defeat easily?What's more, today Huachao has already made an appointment with the girl he likes to travel with, if he loses face in front of his sweetheart, he will really be shameless.So the white-clothed boy gritted his teeth, and said: "Compare, who is afraid that you will fail?!"

The two sides talked harshly for a while, but it was only after the competition that they would know who was better, so the two quickly started the competition.

Anyang watched the excitement, but she vaguely felt that the target was not far enough, so she leaned into Xu Mu's ear and asked, "General Xu, do you think the target is far away? Is the target easy to shoot?"

Xu Mu glanced at the archery target in the distance, then at the bows and arrows used by the two teenagers, and said, "I think it's okay."

Anyang didn't seem to believe it, because she had seen Xu Mu practice arrows when she was a carrier pigeon, and followed her to the battlefield after she was a war horse.The little general seven years ago was good at archery, not to mention piercing Yang with a hundred steps, but the target she practiced with was at least farther than the one in front of her eyes—the young people who lived in comfort in the middle of the capital practiced arrows only for hunting or competition, which was far better than not. Strict in the army.

Having seen more powerful ones, Anyang only took the competition between the two teenagers in front of him as a show.It's just that people didn't expect that after the two teenagers hit the bull's-eye respectively, the excitement could go one step further.

The white-clothed boy who finally hit the bull's-eye heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but the pride on his face did not subside in the slightest. He continued to raise his chin and said harsh words to his opponent: "How about it? Move the target back?"

His opponent glanced at the target from a distance, but shook his head.But before the young man in white was satisfied, he heard his opponent say again: "It's not interesting to shoot an arrow like this. If you shoot again and then move back, if the bow is not good, you will miss it, and you won't be able to show your skills." Raising eyebrows, he said again: "I have a unique skill, I can hit the bull's-eye even blindfolded, do you believe it or not?"

The boy in white couldn't believe it, but whether he believed it or not, he couldn't admit it: "Shoot blindfolded, just brag."

The opponent didn't argue, just asked him: "Don't worry about whether I'm bragging or not, just say whether I dare to compare."

The young man had nothing to dare, so the two of them fought and closed their eyes again.

The young man in white was actually a little flustered, so he secretly ordered the servants around him to remind him of his direction, so that it would be fine if he missed the target, but it would be troublesome if he hurt someone.On the contrary, his opponent looked calm and composed, as if he really had a unique skill.

Seeing the development of the matter like this, the people watching the excitement around became more and more excited, and there were endless discussions.Even Anyang couldn't help being surprised, he turned his head and asked Xu Mu, "Can you really shoot while blindfolded?"

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it, so it doesn't make sense to shoot an arrow like this."

As soon as the two exchanged a word, the young man in white who was competing over there shot the arrow first.It's a pity that even if the servant reminded him, the arrows he shot were only roughly in a good position. In fact, let alone the bull's-eye, they didn't even touch the edge of the target.

The surrounding audience sighed for a while when they saw this, but before watching it, they knew that the boy in white had never practiced this, and it was normal to miss the shot.It was his opponent who took the initiative to propose a competition, which made people place more hope, so everyone's eyes moved over.

Anyang and Xu Mu are no exception.They watched the boy raise his bow, watch him nock his arrow, and watch him draw the bowstring... At this moment, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at the raised arrow.If she read it correctly, the arrow seemed to glow slightly blue in the sun, not like normal iron, but rather poisoned!

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xu Mu's vigilance rose to a very high level.

She grabbed Anyang's hand, and continued to speak quickly, when she saw the young man who had bent his bow to shoot at the target suddenly turn around and let go, and with the vibration of the bowstring, the poisoned arrow shot towards Xu The shot came from the direction of Mu and Anyang.

There was an exclamation in the crowd, and there was a commotion in an instant, and Xu Mu almost failed to hold Anyang due to the collision.Fortunately, Xu Mu was prepared in advance, and pulled Anyang away from his original position, and then the two quickly moved a few steps away.As for who was unlucky to be shot by that arrow in the subsequent commotion, it is unknown.

"Killed!" Someone exclaimed, and the scene suddenly became more chaotic.

At this time, no one realized that it was an assassination, except for An Yang and Xu Mu.The former just experienced an assassination a month ago, and his sensitivity to this matter has not yet been lowered.The latter is an instinctive judgment of the crisis, aware of the approaching danger.

Of course, an assassination that begins with a poisoned arrow will not end so easily.Xu Mu and Anyang were forced to separate from the guards. Xu Mu protected Anyang, but soon encountered an assassin who was in the crowd...

****************************************************************************

Fishing in troubled waters is not a good word, especially when you are the fish being caught in troubled waters.

Needless to say, Xu Mu's battle-tested skills are nimble, but it's not easy to protect Anyang in the chaotic crowd.In particular, there are assassins hidden in this crowd, and the weapons in the assassin's hands are poisoned.

When Dong Ling and the guards finally dispersed the crowd and arrived in front of Anyang, Anyang was protected and safe, and there were still several dead assassins lying beside him.But at the same time, a wound was added to Xu Mu's arm—she was covering the wound on her arm, and the blood dripped down along the gap between her fingers, but it was not a bright red, but had a hint of blood in it. Dark, slightly ominous.

Anyang was not injured, she was well protected by Xu Mu the whole time, but at this moment her face was paler than the injured Xu Mu.She raised her hand to cover Xu Mu's wound, but the latter avoided him: "Your Highness, this blood is poisonous, don't touch it."

Hearing what she said, Anyang was naturally more anxious: "You are poisoned, what should we do? Let's go back and find the imperial doctor!"

Xu Mu frowned, but she shook her head when she heard the words: "No, I can't..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly swayed, feeling dizzy and unable to stand still.Fortunately, Anyang was close enough to support her, and when he was anxious to ask, Dong Ling finally arrived with a dozen guards, and was taken aback by the scene.

Dong Ling didn't care about Xu Mu, rushed to Anyang and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, how are you doing, how are you hurt?!"

Anyang didn't have time to pay attention to her, he just ordered: "Hurry up, get the car ready, and go back to the palace right away."

Dong Ling only saw that Xu Mu was injured now, and she knew how much her highness cared about him, and she must be rushing back to the palace to seek medical treatment from the imperial physician.In the end, before she ordered someone to drive over, she heard General Xu say: "It's dangerous outside, Your Highness should return to the palace earlier, but before returning to the palace, I wonder if there is a detour to take me back to the palace?"

An Yang became anxious when he heard this, and was about to say that the imperial physician in the palace is better than the outside, especially in detoxification.But before she could speak, she held Xu Mu's hand backhand, and the strength in her hand sank slightly.

In an instant, Anyang understood that Xu Mu was worried about his identity being exposed.

Seeing that the color of blood flowing out of Xu Mu's wound became more and more abnormal, An Yang's heart tightened. Seeing that Xu Mu still had many worries, he felt unhappy.She frowned and wanted to question the other party, is the secret of identity really more important than life?But meeting Xu Mu's determined eyebrows, she couldn't say this for a while, and finally she could only say sullenly: "I'll listen to you."

Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, perhaps because of the onset of toxicity, the strength in his body also disappeared little by little.She passively leaned on Anyang, from the beginning she only borrowed a little strength, and then gradually put all her weight on Anyang.

To be honest, it was quite heavy, especially for the pampered and seriously injured eldest princess, it was very strenuous to support Xu Mu.

But Anyang somehow didn't want to let go, let alone let others take over.Even though Dong Ling saw her strenuous effort and took the initiative to share it, Anyang stopped him: "Ben Gong, do it yourself, don't touch her."

Dong Ling withdrew her hand in embarrassment when she heard the words, and for the first time deeply realized that her highness was so mean.

While talking, another guard came back, but they were not sent to drive the car, but scattered around to catch the assassins—they didn't catch the one who shot the poisonous arrow at Anyang first, but they caught the boy in white who was competing with him.However, the latter probably didn't know about it. Now that he was tied up by the guards, he was still screaming and blaming him with a confused face. He didn't shut up until he saw the corpses of the assassins on the ground.

Anyang didn't have the energy to take care of the assassin's affairs for the time being, but fortunately, the guards who went to drive came back soon.

Seeing that he could leave, Xu Mu pulled up his last strength and climbed into the carriage by himself without anyone helping him.Anyang followed up in fear, and when there were no outsiders, he asked in a low voice: "Is there a doctor in your house?"

Xu Mu nodded. It is impossible for her to live for more than [-] years without getting sick. Naturally, she has a trusted doctor by her side.It's just that in the past, when she fought on the battlefield, even if she needed a doctor, it was mostly for trauma, so she didn't know how well the other party was capable of detoxifying.
