NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 87 - IV
When they arrived at the hunting ground, misfortune appeared on Li Jiafu’s face, indicating that something unexpected would happen to Li Jiafu here. It was estimated that it would be tomorrow, so Jing Xingzhi thought he would be busy tomorrow.
But Li Yunxi had golden dragon energy in his body, which suppressed the gray energy, so Jing Xingzhi didn’t see anything. Although Li Jiafu was a prince and had purple energy in his body, at his age, the purple energy in his body was not strong, so it was easy to see when he would encounter problems.
At this moment, Jing Xingzhi was sure that things would not be peaceful tomorrow.
.
Jing Xingzhi had a good sleep and followed Li Jiafu closely the next morning, never leaving.
He left behind the gray energy because he wanted to catch fish in the muddy water. Anyway, the signs seemed to mean no harm to Li Jiafu; it was just a small twist.
During breakfast, another prince, Li Jiading, was added to Jing Xingzhi’s team, because of it, Li Jiading’s face turned out to be slightly sullen.
Jing Xingzhi brought two little tails with him. After thinking about it, he still spent some effort to drive away the gray energy from Li Jiafu’s body.
One bait was enough, so Jing Xingzhi had solved the problem for Li Jiafu first.
With two children, one in his early ten years and one who was only seven years old, hunting was out of the question.
Jing Xingzhi took the children around in the forest and asked the old master to introduce the plants and trees in the jungle to the two children, which had given them a lot of experience.
As they went further and further away, they also met several groups of people on the road.
Those people who had ulterior motives and sneaked into the team also tried their best to get closer to several targets.
Ning Yongyuan watched several of his men indulge in hunting, but he hadn’t seen anyone. He wasn’t good at archery and chose to go out for a while and wait for his men to find prey in the open space. When the time came, he planned to let them catch the prey, so he didn’t have to take risks, which was a good thing.
As for safety, having a guard from one’s own family by one’s side was enough to reassure him.
Ning Yongyuan’s idea wasn’t surprising; many people had thought like that and even sent their men to dangerous areas while they wandered around in safe places, looked at the scenery, and relaxed.
After a while, a group of people wearing the clothes of hunters or servants from various provinces had gathered in a large circle and attacked the team of the royal family.
The two little princes were just running around in circles and not hunting, so they didn’t have many people in the team. Originally, it was just to guard against wild beasts, but unexpectedly, they didn’t encounter wild beasts, but they met the people who wanted to harm the prince.
The guards felt unlucky. Once something bad happened to the prince, all nine of their clans would be destroyed, so most of the guards bravely resisted with swords.
Several flying arrows were blasted through the air with a sound of piercing the air and shot toward the third prince, Li Jiading, rapidly.
The captain of the guard almost cried when he saw the arrow.
“Your fucker! Come and shoot me!”
‘Shoot the prince; you know how miserable we will be if you shoot the prince!’
It was hard to get a high-paying, prestigious job in these days.
.
As soon as the arrow was shot, another arrow was fired toward Li Jiafu, who was immediately stunned.
In the anxious moment, all the guards tried their best to stop the sudden arrows.
But they were very panicked. They didn’t know whether they could stop all the arrows. They weren’t sure.
The little eunuch next to Li Jiading had an idea and desperately tried to pull Li Jiading off his horse.
Li Jiading rolled off his horse the moment before the arrow was shot, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
Having fallen off his horse, Li Jiading looked around in panic to see if Li Jiafu was alright, but caught a glimpse of Li Jiafu, like a little quail, safely hiding in the arms of his junior uncle.
On the other hand, Jing Xingzhi held a baby in one hand and three arrows in the other.
It seemed the junior uncle had caught the arrow and brought the fourth prince down, Li Jiading thought as his heart sank.
But how could he catch such a swift arrow? Li Jiading doubted in his heart, but before he could react, Li Jiafu was stuffed into his arms.
Jing Xingzhi placed the two princes together, immediately surrounding the brothers tightly like iron barrels.
Initially, the two princes sat blankly on their horses. As soon as the enemy appeared and shot arrows in a despicable manner, it prevented the guards from reacting.
Now that the two princes had dismounted and were protected, it was difficult for the person who fired the arrow to break through the protective circle, and the other guards could free their hands to capture these thieves.
Jing Xingzhi also took out his untouched quiver, took aim, and shot arrows one after another.
Luckily, his arrows were very powerful and hit several enemies. He also stopped a few who were attempting to escape, assisting the guards in capturing them alive. Of course, he wouldn’t talk about such things as the blessing of his spiritual energy.
When everything settled down, the guards were collectively stunned.
These thieves were so easy to catch!
Except for those who committed suicide and couldn’t be stopped, the others were caught and knocked unconscious or killed outright.
But now, seeing the danger outside, the guards didn’t hesitate and hurriedly escorted the third and fourth princes back to the center.
On the way back, the captain of the guard, who had discussed it with the guards, took the opportunity to approach the young eunuch who was waiting behind Li Jiafu’s horse and asked in a low voice: “Little eunuch, which general’s family does that Young Master Jing belong to? Who is he studying under?”
The young eunuch looked at the captain of the guard and rolled his eyes: ‘I think you’re not very smart!’
