Chapter 40 The Assassination of a Horse Racing

Unexpectedly, Rouyue smiled shyly and replied: "Rouyue... is pregnant this time. She came here today just to cheer for her husband. She must not be able to participate in this competition. If Xin

Princess Yu is determined to win the championship, now it's time to set off!"

When Tong Luoyang heard this, it was Shi Shiran who hugged Rou Yue and said, "So, congratulations to the Fifth Emperor's Wife!"

After saying that, he pulled Long Xinyu and rode forward.

Long Xinyu was unprepared for a moment and let Tong Luoyang pull her forward for several steps. Only then did she have time to turn back and smile apologetically at Rouyue.

You know, the last arrow Rou Yue gave her on the stage really made her particularly fond of this woman!

Thinking of this, Long Xinyu looked unhappy and said to Tong Luoyang next to her: "Hey, why don't you let Rou Yue and I have a few more words?"

Tong Luoyang frowned and said without looking back: "We are the only two people on the entire racecourse who have not set off. If we don't leave, Emperor Ama will come to question us!"

Oh, in this case... Long Xinyu suddenly remembered the most critical question.

"Hey, this... how does a horse race work..."

Tong Luoyang's face darkened and he turned back to glare at Long Xinyu: "Don't tell me that you didn't listen to anything you said when you were eating just now?"

Long Xinyu stared back at Tong Luoyang innocently: "Of course you have to pay attention when eating..."

...

It turns out that the royal horse racing is not just about horse racing, but in the deepest part of the royal hunting forest, someone has been sent to place an edict with the ranking of the horse racing in advance, and the first person who can reach the deepest part of the forest on horseback can win.

The imperial edict is taken away in order of ranking. However, the person who gets the imperial edict must be able to avoid the robbery and competition of others on the way back. It is not until he rides out of the forest that he is considered a victory!

After listening to Tong Luoyang's explanation, Long Xinyu couldn't help being shocked and asked: "Isn't this too dangerous? This requires a martial arts competition!"

Tong Luoyang curled his lips and replied disdainfully: "The answer is half right. This is indeed a test of martial arts. However, the test is about martial arts on horseback. No matter who it is, no matter what the reason is, as long as he falls off the horse in the middle,

I will voluntarily withdraw from this horse race! And naturally there is no life-and-death struggle in the competition. You only need to snatch the imperial edict and then you can leave!"

Hearing this, Long Xinyu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it. No wonder you didn't rush. You must have never planned to ride to the deepest point on horseback. You just planned to stop and rob someone on the way?"

Tong Luoyang looked at Long Xinyu, his eyebrows suddenly curved softly and charmingly, and with a malicious smile on his lips, he whispered to Long Xinyu: "This is the wrong answer! This prince...is not interested in that ranking.

I have no interest at all... This prince is here just because I want to be with you..."

As soon as the words were spoken, Long Xinyu immediately rode forward with extreme vigilance for several steps, then turned back and glared at Tong Luoyang fiercely and said, "What do you want to do!"

Seeing this, Tong Luoyang burst out laughing. After a while, he replied loudly: "I just saw that you were in a bad mood, so I brought you out specially to relax on horseback... Sister Xinyu, what are you thinking about?"

Went?"

"Uh..." Long Xinyu got angry and rode back, cursing in her heart: "Bad guy, bad guy!"

Seeing Long Xinyu's angry expression, Tong Luoyang did not comfort him, but continued to smile: "How about it, sister Xinyu, do you dare to race a horse with me?"

Long Xinyu immediately replied aggressively: "It's a race, who's afraid of who?"

After saying that, he immediately turned the horse's head, pointed to a small hill not far ahead, and said: "Whoever of us runs to the hill first will win. Then the losing party must agree to a small hill to the winning party."

What are the conditions?"

Tong Luoyang said with a full smile: "Okay, sister Xinyu, how about I let you go half a mile?"

He originally thought that with Long Xinyu's temperament, he would definitely disdain his humility, but unexpectedly, this calculation exceeded his expectations again.

Long Xinyu seemed to be waiting for him to say this. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Long Xinyu smiling sweetly at him, pulling the reins fiercely and riding away, leaving only his voice far away.

floated over: "In that case, thank you brother Luo Yang!"

She finally spoke up and called him brother Luo Yang! Instead of the blunt "Seventh Prince"

Tong Luoyang was instantly frozen in place by that sweet smile and the sound of "Brother Luo Yang" for a long time.

When he came back to his senses again, he saw that Long Xinyu's figure had already ridden far away. Tong Luoyang immediately raised a domineering smile on his lips and rode after him.

Long Xinyu was riding on the horse, enjoying the speed and feeling extremely proud.

She had seen Tong Luoyang's elf-like eyes flickering before, so she had guessed what he was going to say, and she also expected that he would be polite and humble to her.

However, the thought of being able to get Tong Luoyang to promise her something unconditionally was enough for her to act coquettishly and accept Tong Luoyang's humility unexpectedly.

"Hehehe..." Thinking of Tong Luoyang's deflated expression, Long Xinyu couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in my heart.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him, as if there was more than one person!

Long Xinyu glanced back nervously, and her heart suddenly sank.

Behind her, at some point, a group of knights appeared. They were all dressed in black and had their heads and faces covered. They came with bad intentions!

Where is Tong Luoyang?

Long Xinyu's palms holding the reins gradually became sweaty, and the sound of horse hooves behind her got closer and closer...

Suddenly, a cold arrow shot towards Long Xinyu with the whistling wind.

Presumably, this distance has reached the shooting range. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually has arrows!

Long Xinyu immediately lowered herself down on the horse's back, grabbed the arrow, tightened her legs, and accelerated forward with the red horse between her legs.

Seeing that the small hill was right in front of her, the sound of weapons being exchanged suddenly came from behind her, and Long Xinyu couldn't help but look back.

Tong Luoyang's thin white casual clothes stood out among a group of black masked people.

"Xinyu, are you okay? Tong Luoyang's voice came from far away. While fighting fiercely, he was still worried about whether Long Xinyu was injured.

An unknown emotion suddenly arose in Long Xinyu's heart, making her feel dizzy for a moment.

This scene is so familiar...

It was as if he had traveled through that night a thousand years ago and was suddenly ambushed during a special operation. Nie Shao also blocked the attack in front of him, while turning around and asking: "Haitong, are you okay?"

Not hearing Long Xinyu's answer, Tong Luoyang seemed a little nervous, and his attacks became more and more fierce. Four men in black were immediately assassinated by him. Three of them fell to the ground, but the last one found a breakthrough, crossed Tong Luoyang's figure, and headed towards

With Long Xinyu coming at full speed.

Long Xinyu had already ridden under the hill on horseback. She wanted to raise her throat to answer, but found that maybe because of her previous nervousness, she had been breathing through her mouth. At this moment, her throat was already a little hoarse and she could not make a sound.

Come.

Under the hill, there was a denser forest on the left, but a more open forest on the right. Long Xinyu didn't even think about it, so she rode her horse and continued running to the right.

Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and was chasing him. Long Xinyu turned around, only to see a man in black riding a bow and arrow and shooting at him.

Suddenly, the archer's posture froze, and the man in black slowly fell down from his horse.

Behind the man in black, Tong Luoyang's white clothes were now covered in blood. He first glanced at Long Xinyu from a distance, then breathed a sigh of relief and ran over on the horse of the man in black.

"Xin Yu, just be okay!"

Long Xinyu tried her best to moisten her throat before answering softly: "Brother Luo Yang, I'm fine. Who are these people?"

Tong Luoyang's slightly thin lips were tightly pursed, his face was cold, exuding a slight chill, and his eyes suddenly turned murderous. He was about to speak, but he heard the sound of more rapid horse hooves coming from behind.

"Hurry up!" He pulled Long Xinyu and quickly rode forward.

The sound of horse hooves behind him kept chasing him, and he was about to be overtaken when he turned a corner.

But when he turned a corner, Long Xinyu was stunned.

There was no road in front of them, there was a river at their feet, and the sound of running water could be heard on the cliff. It turned out that behind the hill they had chosen for the competition, there was actually the source of a small waterfall.

It seems that there must be a river on the hill. Due to the topography, a small waterfall is formed here. The water falls but continues to flow in the original direction.

Tong Luoyang and Long Xinyu looked at each other, pointed to the cave at the foot of the waterfall, and said, "Go in!"

Long Xinyu bit her silver teeth and said, "I won't go!"

Tong Luoyang shouted angrily: "Their target is you!"

Long Xinyu thought: "So you should go in!"

Tong Luoyang immediately struck out like lightning, tapping Long Xinyu's acupuncture points three or two times, lifted her off the horse, and flew towards the entrance of the cave under the waterfall.

Acupuncture!!!

Long Xinyu actually ignored this superb martial art in ancient times! She glared at Tong Luofeng with wide eyes. She was not a weak woman with no strength at all. If these masked men tried to fight with her, they would definitely not be happy with her.
