Chapter 209 The Archer
However, what was faster than the blade was a sharp cry that broke through the air.
It was a sharp sound that almost stung everyone's ears, followed immediately by a miserable howl.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the steel knife in the hand of the Imperial Guard soldier who was raising the knife to kill him fell to the ground. He held his wrist and howled. When he looked closer, he found that there was something on his wrist. Pierced by an arrow, blood flowed out.
This is——
Shang Ruyi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and another imperial guard beside her shouted in horror: "There is an enemy——"
Before she finished saying the word "enemy", there was a sound The muffled sound suddenly stopped. Shang Ruyi looked up and saw that his eyes were protruding like dead fish, his body was stiff and straight, and an arrow on his neck shot directly through his throat, and there was a sound in his throat. There were sounds of struggling, and finally, he fell to the ground softly.
The eyes of a guard beside him were red, and he immediately turned to look at the other side: "Who——"
Before he finished speaking, another arrow hit him directly between the eyebrows.
“There is an assassin!”
"Be careful!"
At this time, the people around him reacted completely, but their reaction was not as fast as the arrows that came in response. In just a moment, several cold lights came through the wind, The guards surrounding Shang Ruyi fell to the ground.
Suddenly, her side was completely empty!
Shang Ruyi was stunned by this sudden change. She subconsciously turned her head and looked across the river.
The people around her may not have seen clearly yet, but just now, these people who were hit by arrows were all surrounding her. She could see more clearly than anyone else where the arrows came from—— Just north of the military camp, in the dark night on the other side of the river.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he suddenly found something in the dark night.
That bit of cold light is like the only star in the dark night sky.
Then, she saw clearly around the cold light, a tall and straight figure gradually emerged. It seemed to be a thin man. He was leaning sideways at the moment, with a bow and an arrow on his fingertips. The arrow was like a star, shining brightly in the dark night, but it also contained the power of thunder. As soon as he let go, someone would immediately fall under his arrow!
Shang Ruyi was a little shocked.
Not only was she shocked at why this person appeared and why he shot the guards around her, but more importantly, after taking a closer look, she discovered that there seemed to be many black people on the other side of the river. The shadows were moving, and it was obvious that there was more than one person coming, but there was only that little bit of cold light!
In other words, all the arrows just now were shot by him alone!
In such a short period of time, hitting the target in the dark one after another, without missing a single one, without a single deviation - this is probably not much better than the descendant Yang Youji!
Could it be Yu Wenye?
As soon as this name came to mind, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat became a little heavier, but she immediately rejected this guess.
Although they are both marksmen, Yu Wenye's shooting skills are more outstanding in terms of strength. He is a domineering being who can shock the world with one arrow on the battlefield, and this man's arrow style is more agile and clever.
But, who is he?
Only this thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately threw it away. At this time, it was too late to care about who others were. There was only one thing that mattered most at the moment——
Run!
Seeing the people around her retreating in fear, she hurriedly kicked away the corpse in front of her and rushed out in the chaos!
When Kou Yunliang saw that she was about to run away, he immediately shouted: "Don't let her run away, kill her!"
Although the guards and soldiers who were still on the outside heard the panicked screams at the door of the big tent, they didn't know what happened for a while. They only saw the general's wife rushing out of the crowd, and the supervisor shouted "kill". Naturally, she didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly chased after him.
Suddenly, another cold light came through the sky.
The imperial guard who was pursuing the most closely screamed and fell down, clutching his neck. The few people who were chasing after him were so calmed by this scene that they fell down several steps for a while.
At this time, Shang Ruyi completely understood something. This ghostly archer in the dark night is here to help him!
As if to confirm her idea, several more arrows flew out immediately after. The people following Shang Ruyi all screamed and rolled to the ground, covering the places where the arrows hit their bodies. The screams resounded throughout the valley!
Although she didn’t know who the other party was, at this moment, it at least gave her a way to survive. Shang Ruyi felt a little relieved, but he kept running forward quickly, and soon he was from both sides. He rushed out from the middle of the fence.
The military camp behind them was already in chaos due to the hail of arrows.
Especially Kou Yunliang, he screamed for the people around him to protect him, but when he saw Shang Ruyi rushing out of the crowd, he immediately pointed at the people around him and yelled at them to chase him. The guards around him The army and soldiers were at a loss, and in the chaos, Shang Ruyi had already rushed out of the military camp, leaving the hustle and bustle far behind.
She ran desperately, and the sound of her footsteps and heavy breathing seemed to be magnified countless times at this moment, making it seem so harsh in the river valley.
And inexplicably, she could still hear footsteps on the other side of the river.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that little bit of cold star walking alongside her!
This is——
Shang Ruyi is puzzled, but she understands better that this person is definitely not Yu Wenye, and although he just rescued her, he is still holding an arrow alongside her. , obviously, his target is also himself!
But, if he doesn’t shoot at himself, what is he going to do?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi looked up and looked forward, and suddenly understood - after passing Luokou Ferry, the Luo River will suddenly make a huge turning point, flowing towards the north, and Huangtu Ridge is right after the turning point of the river. East, so after passing this turning point, people who were originally on the south bank of Luohe River can get closer without crossing the river, and even climb Huangtu Ridge!
And Huangtu Ridge is where Xingluocang is located.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Shang Ruyi's mind, and she seemed to understand something. Of course, she didn't stop running, and she searched quickly in the darkness. Soon, she saw something There is a small road ahead that turns south!
She immediately ran towards the path.
However, the moment she turned the corner, she saw a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and an arrow was nailed directly to her feet!
Shang Ruyi's breathing became heavier. She stopped, slowly turned around and looked towards the other side of the river. The night was getting darker and darker. She watched helplessly as a bit of cold light crossed a beautiful arc, and she settled down again. .
Again, aiming at myself!
This is the other party stopping her from running down this path!
So, the other party wants to force her to move forward!
Now, she has guessed who the other party is - even if she doesn't know the specific person, she also knows where this marksman with perfect shots comes from.
Just ahead, the majestic loess ridge!
He is a person from Xingluocang, that is, a person from Wanggang Army!
Shang Ruyi held her breath and watched the arrow flashing with cold light in the night, but it was aimed at herself motionlessly. In the silent mountains, only the dull heartbeat of her heart was left. , almost shaking her to the point of losing her balance.
What to do? She couldn't escape.
Although she has escaped Kou Yunliang's pursuit now, she came here to find Yuwen Ye. Now Yuwen Ye's whereabouts are unknown, and she doesn't even know how miserable the Yuwen family will fall under Kou Yunliang's frame-up. However, if she was captured by Wang Gang's army again, what would happen next would be so terrible that she would not dare to think about it again.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
But this time, the arrow did not fly over!
Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, thinking that the other party had let her go, and hurriedly turned around to run away, but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a tall black figure, staggering and almost falling to the ground.
“Ah!”
She let out a quick cry, but before she fell, a hand grabbed her and pulled her back violently, falling into a solid body. in the chest!
In a hurry, Shang Ruyi looked up——
A pair of shining bright eyes looked at her with a smile in the night.
