RPAGF Chapter 232 Hidden Arrow
Chapter 232 Hidden Arrow
When he was still five meters away from Yun Zhi, Chen Yuanshu's eyes widened, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and he cried out, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
As she finished speaking, she drew her sword and rode her horse even faster.
After hearing Chen Yuanshu's shout, Yun Zhi felt a strong wind coming from the left.
When most people notice something unusual, their bodies tend to turn before their brains to see what it is.
However, when Yun Zhi felt something was wrong, the instant she did so, she leaned back.
It was at this moment that a sharp arrow whizzed past two feet in front of Yun Zhi's eyes.
The few strands of hair exposed were lifted up by the strong wind, and then slowly fell down after a moment.
Yun Zhi glanced at the feather arrow that fell more than ten feet away, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the direction where the feather arrow came from amid the shouts of "Protect the emperor" around him.
When the archer saw that the arrow missed the target, he cursed a few words in disgrace, stood up and was about to catch up with the team and return with a few soldiers who were covering him.
But when he saw Yun Zhi running towards him, he was startled and turned around and ran without hesitation.
Yun Zhi, who was riding a horse at a rapid speed, saw the moving figure, used his legs to maintain balance, and picked up the compound bow at his side.
He nocked the arrow and pulled the string, aiming at the archer fleeing in front of him. He calculated the wind direction at the moment and the direction and speed of his escape, and the arrow was deflected to a position five feet in front of the archer.
At the moment the arrow is aimed, the fingers of the right hand release.
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out from the string and shot straight towards the position in front of the archer.
The archer ran for a while, then turned around to see where Yun Zhi had chased him.
What he saw was a feather arrow coming towards him. Just before he was about to dodge to the side, the feather arrow hit him right between his eyebrows.
His body fell straight down, raising a cloud of dust.
The soldiers who were covering him looked at his face with his eyes open, and thought that they would be held accountable when they returned, so after hesitating for a moment, they looked at each other, left the body behind, and ran away.
After seeing him fall to the ground, Yun Zhi held the bow and arrow in one hand and the reins in the other, slowly slowing down the horse until it stopped.
After two breaths, Chen Yuanshu, holding a big knife, finally arrived in front of Yun Zhi. He looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
"Your Majesty, you really scared me just now. If anything happens to you, I will be held responsible!" Chen Yuanshu said with lingering fear.
After seeing Yun Zhi dodge the arrow, Chen Yuanshu just breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I saw His Majesty chasing in the direction from which the arrow came.
Chen Yuanshu's heart instantly rose to his throat again. After experiencing a life-or-death moment, shouldn't a normal person calm down for a while before reacting?
But in Chen Yuanshu's eyes, the moment His Majesty dodged the arrow, he straightened up and chased in that direction.
Fortunately, Your Majesty is safe and sound.
Seeing the worry in Chen Yuanshu's eyes and the soldiers in the back who were running towards him as if they had grown another pair of legs, Yun Zhi blinked and said, "It's okay, it's just a hidden arrow, it can't hurt me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers from the rear also rushed over.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Yun Zhi waved her hand and looked at the man who had fallen in the distance and had not moved since then. "It's okay. Go check if the two of them are dead. If they are not dead, stab them a few more times. If they are dead, bury them. As for the soldiers who escaped, don't worry about them."
The two soldiers took the order, gripped their weapons tightly in their right hands, and walked cautiously towards the corpse.
Yun Zhi recalled the scene at that time. If he hadn't turned his head, the arrow would have hit the back of his head. With his helmet on, the arrow might not have been fatal.
However, he turned his head, and the arrow hit him right between the eyebrows. With the force of the arrow, he was probably dead.
Sure enough, not long after, a soldier came back and reported, "Your Majesty, this man is dead."
Yun Zhi nodded and looked at Chen Yuanshu beside her, "Let's go into the city."
Chen Yuanshu bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty.
On the way back, Chen Yuanshu turned around and looked at the body that was being buried.
"That man... must be Yuwen Jing, the archer master of Yu State. It is said that his accuracy and strength are both unparalleled. Now that he has died at the hands of Your Majesty, Yu State has suffered a heavy loss."
Yun Zhi nodded, agreeing with her guess, "It's him."
Chen Yuanshu lowered his eyes, thinking that the State of Yu had really spent a huge amount of money to assassinate His Majesty, and a great general was killed here.
The group returned to the city in silence.
At this time, several generals who were commanding everyone in the city to clean up the battlefield finally put their minds at ease when they saw Yun Zhi returning safely.
Yun Jingxian walked out of the team and came to Yun Zhi, "Your Majesty, are you not injured?"
Yun Zhi dismounted and shook her head, "It's okay."
"What's the situation here now?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Cen, who had been staying here the entire time, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the enemy troops have now completely withdrawn from the city, and the battlefield has been largely cleared."
Yun Zhi nodded slightly and glanced at the people hiding in the dark and carefully observing the battle situation. "Open the granaries and release the grain immediately to appease the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ning Cen took the order and left.
……
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the Anguo army successfully captured the fallen Yue Kingdom's imperial capital.
