Ye Zhen and Mo Rongyi rode deeper into the forest. They had to avoid the assassins first and then find another way to leave. The road just now had been blocked by the assassins.
"Yao Yao, the assassins did not catch up." Mo Rongyi's little face was a little pale. He was really scared. He had never encountered such a dangerous thing since he was a child.
"Maybe the guards stopped them. Let's find another way to leave and find Tang Zhen as soon as possible." Ye Zhen whispered, guessing the origin of the assassins.
How could there be assassins in the hunting ground? There are royal guards guarding this place. Not everyone can come in. When did those assassins hide in the mountains?
The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more she felt that it was too strange. Moreover, none of the assassins caught up with them. She, who didn't know martial arts, could see that the guards were not their opponents and could not completely control them.
"Yao Yao, it's so quiet here." Mo Rongyi leaned against Ye Zhen nervously. They had come to the foot of the mountain. Apart from the road up the mountain, there was no other way, and everywhere was eerily quiet.
Ye Zhen's eyes were fixed on the damaged fence in front of her. It was the fence of the hunting ground, which was originally isolated from the Great God behind, but now the fence was broken.
Other paths seemed to be deliberately blocked, and they couldn't find another way. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of insects could not be heard. Everything was strange.
"Sit here and don't move. I'll look for another way." Ye Zhen whispered, holding the quiver in her hand and carrying it on her waist.
Mo Rongyi immediately dismounted. "I'll look for it with you."
Ye Zhen saw that he had dismounted and didn't say anything more. "Take the sword with you."
There were mountains and forests everywhere, and there was a small lake in front of them. There were no animals around. Ye Zhen reached out and held Mo Rongyi tightly. "Yi, something is wrong here. Follow me. Don't worry. If Tang Zhen doesn't find us, he will come to find us."
Mo Rongyi's body was stiff and he didn't move. His face was pale with fright and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
Ye Zhen felt his strangeness and looked back at him. She was frightened by his face. "Yi, are you okay?"
"Yao Yao, run …" Mo Rongyi's voice was almost trembling. He released Ye Zhen's hand and pushed her.
Ye Zhen followed his gaze, and her whole body froze.
A tiger with four strong limbs and beautiful fur walked in from outside the fence. Its steps were slow and graceful. Even so, the two horses sensed danger and neighed in fear. They broke free from the reins tied to the tree and ran away.
Suddenly, the tiger roared and ran with its strong limbs. It jumped up and pressed down on a horse. Its sharp canine teeth bit the neck of the horse, causing blood to spurt out.
Ye Zhen was so scared that she couldn't breathe. She took Mo Rongyi's hand and ran to grab the reins of the fleeing horse before the tiger noticed them. "Yi, run!"
"Let's run together!" Mo Rongyi cried.
"No, if we go together, it will be dangerous. You run along the original road, maybe you can meet Tang Zhen." There was danger on both sides, but Ye Zhen could only bet that the only way out was no longer an assassin.
"Yao Yao." Mo Rongyi held back his tears. "If you don't go, I won't go."
Ye Zhen was about to say that he was a fool when she saw that the tiger had found them and was coming towards them.
"I'll distract it. You go!" The path was behind the tiger. If they didn't distract the tiger, none of them could run. "You go and find Tang Zhen to save me. I … I'll try my best to delay it."
Mo Rongyi looked at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, then you … you must wait for me to bring someone to save you."
"Okay!" Ye Zhen replied with a bright smile.
The tiger had already come over. The horse under Mo Rongyi's crotch became more and more uneasy. Ye Zhen helped Mo Rongzhan onto the horse and patted its buttocks hard.
The horse galloped out quickly. The tiger growled and looked even more majestic. It opened its bloody mouth and looked at Mo Rongyi with a pair of terrible eyes, hungry and thirsty.
Ye Zhen shot an arrow with the quiver in her hand. The tiger dodged to the side and escaped Ye Zhen's shot.
The tiger's attention was drawn to her, and the tiger's angry roars shook the surroundings.
Mo Rongyi had already run into the path.
Ye Zhen held the quiver tightly in her hand as she retreated. Inside the forest, she could buy more time.
But … could she wait for reinforcements to come to save her?
Mo Rongyi couldn't help crying as he rode on the back of the horse. If anything happened to Yao Yao, he would never forgive himself.
"Yi!" Mo Rongzhan's voice came from the front. He held a long sword in one hand and rode up with a cold face. "Where is Yao Yao?"
"Brother, go and save Yao Yao. She … she is going to be eaten by the tiger!" Mo Rongyi cried, his whole body was already weak from fear.
Mo Rongzhan's heart was gripped fiercely. His face was even more ugly. He shouted anxiously, "Where is Yao Yao?"
"Over there, in the forest!" Mo Rongyi shouted, pointing to the end of the road.
"Tang Zhen, escort the little prince back to the palace first." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a cold voice, and the horse under him ran out like an arrow.
Tang Zhen was in a trance. He was more worried about Yao Yao than anyone else. However, there were assassins in the hunting ground. He glanced at Mo Rongyi, gritted his teeth, and ordered the others, "You escort the little prince back. This Hou is going to help the emperor."
Mo Rongzhan had never been so afraid of losing a person. His heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by a big hand. As long as he thought that the little person would have a little accident, he was in so much pain that it was difficult to breathe. There was even a burning anger in his heart. No matter who it was, he would cut the person who set up today's murder into pieces.
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongzhan had already seen the horse that was bitten to death. The blood was stained with a drop of blood, which looked so shocking.
He didn't see the tiger, nor did he see Yao Yao.
"Roar …" There was a tiger's roar in the woods. It sounded as if it was angry.
Mo Rongzhan immediately jumped off the horse and ran in. Yao Yao, you can't have anything happen to you! You must be well!
His feet were like the wind, and he rushed quickly, listening to the whistling sound.
"Yao Yao …" Seeing the scene in front of him, Mo Rongzhan felt that his heart was about to stop.
Ye Zhen climbed up the tree and kept shooting at the tiger with a bow and arrow in her hand. The tiger was shot by two arrows and was furiously hitting the tree that did not look very thick.
The trunk had cracks and was falling to one side. Ye Zhen was almost unable to stand.
