Chapter 287 Fate
The girl's eyes were filled with despair as she staggered forward.
Xiao Heyu curled the corner of his mouth, raised his hand, pulled the bow, and shot three arrows in succession as if teasing his prey, but every arrow hit the girl's leg.
Seeing the arrow coming, the girl quickened her pace in fear, so the sharp arrow just grazed her calf and did not hit her.
The girl's heart was beating very fast. The person beside Xiao Heyu couldn't help but joked, "Your Highness, this girl is running faster than a frightened deer in the forest. It turns out that these slaves are much more interesting than wild beasts."
Xiao Heyu pulled the corner of his lip: "It's boring if you play too much."
After saying that, he casually shot another arrow. Although this arrow was casual, it did not have the teasing meaning of the previous one.
Shen Shuyi looked at this scene with cold eyes.
slave?
Half of the slaves of Qian State were captives from enemy countries, but these captives were not soldiers, but civilians from cities and villages that were plundered. The other half were from families that were exiled because of crimes committed by Daqian.
No matter why these people became slaves, Xiao Heyu, as a prince, should not treat their lives as playthings.
The sharp arrow flashed with cold light and shot out quickly, heading straight for the girl's neck.
The girl's eyes were filled with despair and she didn't dare to turn her head. She saw the sharp arrow was about to hit her throat and a stone under her feet tripped her.
She staggered for a moment, and the arrow passed by her head and hit the tree trunk not far away.
Xiao Heyu pulled out three more arrows in dissatisfaction.
The girl's face was covered with tears, but she was unwilling to die like this, so she stumbled forward again, and this time, she ran towards where Shen Shuyi was.
Shen Shuyi held his breath and stared at the girl's movements.
She fell several times, then quickly got up. In the end, she could be said to have used both her hands and feet to crawl in this direction.
At this moment, three arrows were shot out again, all aimed at the girl's back.
But perhaps she was lucky, the girl rolled down the slope in panic, and the three arrows just grazed her clothes.
The girl fell near Shen Shuyi, hit her forehead, and her eyes turned bloody.
After a series of failures, Xiao Heyu's face darkened.
"drive!"
Immediately, a group of people approached on horseback, and Xiao Heyu drew his bow again.
Although the girl's vision was blocked, she still had a strong will to escape. She struggled to get up and move forward, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Her steps were already staggering, but she was still trying hard to stay alive, her eyes fixed fixed on the front.
At this time, another arrow was shot out and hit the girl's thigh.
"Ah!" The girl groaned and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on her face. It was obvious that she was in great pain.
Xiao Heyu stood on the low slope, looking down from above: "You are good at running, keep running. If you can dodge my two arrows again, I will spare your life today."
Hearing this, the girl's eyes sparkled. She ignored the pain in her legs and continued running forward with a pale face.
But one of his legs was badly injured. Blood was oozing out of his leg as he pushed forward. While limping, Xiao Heyu pulled the bow in his hand again.
There was a hint of despair in the girl's eyes, but she stared straight ahead, unwilling to die like this.
Shen Shuyi hid behind a tree trunk, feeling choked up. She knew that rationally, she shouldn't bother with this matter.
Xiao Heyu has an unpredictable temperament and many people around him. If she shows up rashly, she will probably die.
Can……
But even though she knew she shouldn't do that, Shen Shuyi thought, perhaps this was the difference between her and people like Xiao Heyu and Xiao Tingshan.
Just at this moment, Qin Xin hurriedly turned back and hid behind the trunk of a tree.
Shen Shuyi pulled off a piece of gauze from her skirt, covered her face with it, and made a gesture to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin nodded, her eyes stern.
The next moment, when Xiao Heyu pulled the bow again, just as the arrow was about to shoot, Shen Shuyi stood up and threw a medicine bottle out.
At the same time, Qin Xin threw out a dagger, which collided with the medicine bottle, making a crisp "bang" sound.
"careful!"
There were many experts around Xiao Heyu, and some of them reacted immediately. At the same time, two figures immediately protected him in front of them.
But the medicine bottle shattered in the air, and the pale white powder instantly spread in the air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Shuyi quickly stepped forward and dragged the girl to his side.
"Protect your head and roll down from here. You'll have a chance of survival!" Shen Shuyi stuffed a pill into her mouth and spoke in a low voice.
She had a wound on her leg and she couldn't take her away with her.
What's more, even if it was me, I couldn't outrun these tall horses, and I might not be able to escape unscathed.
There's only so much she can do.
"Thank you...I..." The girl's eyes were moist. Before she could finish her words, a sharp arrow fell from the air and pierced into the back of the girl with a 'puff' sound.
Perhaps because of the severe pain, or perhaps because it all happened too suddenly, the girl's pupils dilated slightly, and she showed a hint of relief as if she was liberated.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi felt indescribably depressed and had an urge to cut Xiao Heyu into pieces.
Why in this world, some people struggle desperately, use all their strength, just want to survive but can't, while some people who obviously enjoy everything and are high above others still trample on all living beings! Treat all living beings as playthings?
The corners of Shen Shuyi's eyes were red. Even though he was used to life and death, his eyes still turned red when he saw such injustice.
A tear rolled down the girl's eye and she forced a pale smile at Shen Shuyi.
Haha, this is her fate...
She took out a white jade pendant from her sleeve with difficulty, stuffed it tightly into Shen Shuyi's hand, and tried her best to say something.
But she was too tired. She struggled for a long time, but her voice was particularly vague. Shen Shuyi leaned on her lips and only heard a few intermittent words.
"Go to Huang...Xiang...Xiang..."
"Miss! Go quickly!" Qin Xin's other dagger flew out and knocked away an arrow shot at Shen Shuyi.
Not caring about exposing her position, Qin Xin spoke in a harsh voice.
Shen Shuyi's throat tightened, he clenched the jade pendant in his palm, and plunged into the forest.
"It's poison... Your Highness!" Chai Bin covered his nose and spoke hurriedly as he looked at the guards who fell to the ground.
The accompanying doctor hurried forward and checked the conditions of several people and said: "It is poisonous, but the powder spread in the air, the toxicity is not strong, and it was discovered in time, so these people should be fine..."
As he spoke, the doctor presented Xiao Heyu with an antidote.
Xiao Heyu swallowed the pill and his sight fell on the blue that disappeared not far away. There was a hint of interest in his eyes, full of determination to win.
"Interesting, go!" Without waiting for the group, Xiao Heyu immediately rode his horse to catch up. Chai Bin and his group took the pills and followed.
Shen Shuyi listened to the noise behind him and felt so angry that his teeth itched.
Unfortunately, in her previous life, she and Liancheng had only learned the art of curing diseases and saving lives, and had not done in-depth research on poisons. Moreover, whenever poisons were used on a large scale, their toxicity would often be limited, making it difficult to kill them instantly, not to mention that these people had not yet seen blood.
Although a small number of people were knocked down, it failed to delay much time.
