Chapter 288 It won’t be a good thing

Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold and stern. He relied on his body shape to walk on more uneven slopes and gullies to control the war horses.

Qin Xin and Jiang Po grabbed two longbows, flew onto the tree, and attacked from both sides to cover Shen Shuyi.

Everything went smoothly at first, but the two men were drawing their bows and dodging attacks at the same time, and their speed was no match for the horses. After a while, they were dragged down and completely fell behind.

Shen Shuyi ran very fast, she felt like she had never run so fast in her entire life, but she had never had good physical strength, especially since she had not had enough food in the Jade Buddha Temple in the past few years, so it was understandable that she would be caught up.

Am I going to die here?

Shen Shuyi just felt unwilling.

No, since God has allowed her to start over, she will never die here!

Shen Shuyi turned her head and saw the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. Xiao Heyu's arrows flew past her head like heavy rain, one after another.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Xiao Heyu is proud enough, and no one else dares to touch the prey he has set his eyes on.

Occasionally wild animals would appear along the way, and the group would draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Shen Shuyi's mind was racing and his steps were a little unsteady. He saw a shallow sunken pit not far away with a lot of dead branches and grass leaves in it.

She gritted her teeth, leaped forward and jumped in.

After entering, Shen Shuyi ran directly to the side of the pit wall and threw the fire starter into the pit.

When the tinder met the dead branches, it ignited instantly, but the fire spread slowly and was not big enough.

Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes. It was too slow.

Before Xiao Heyu and his group arrived, a fire and thick smoke broke out.

At that moment, Shen Shuyi threw all the drugs and poisons he had on him into the fire, one bottle after another.

Various powders mixed with smoke quickly spread in the air.

At this moment, Xiao Heyu and his group had arrived. The shallow pit was not too big, and one horse after another jumped in.

"Yu!"

Xiao Heyu tightened the reins and held the horse that was about to jump out of the pit again. His eyes fell on Shen Shuyi and he curled the corner of his lips.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that there would be a prey that accidentally fell in." Xiao Heyu raised his chin slightly and looked at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi had a veil on her face, and her eyes were cold and indifferent, as clear and bright as gems tempered by ice. They were dull, but yet they made people want to find out more.

Xiao Heyu narrowed his eyes and said in a condescending manner: "Take off the veil."

Shen Shuyi quietly watched the powder spreading rapidly while burning. Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, he chuckled.

"Your Highness has seen all kinds of beauties. Why do you have to force him?" Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice.

The girl's voice was as clear and pleasant as the sound of jade falling to the ground. Not only that, she looked calm and not panicky at all.

At this moment, there was a breathtaking beauty across the blazing fire, which made Xiao Heyu feel itchy.

He is a man of his word and is used to being praised by others. Naturally, he will not allow himself to suffer the slightest injustice.

Xiao Heyu curled up the corners of his lips and drew his longbow again: "Your Highness will give you another chance. Take off your veil."

He wanted to see what the girl looked like.

If she didn't disappoint him, he might be in the mood to spare her life. If she disappointed him, he would definitely let her die miserably.

"If I take off my veil, Your Highness will spare my life?" Shen Shuyi's eyes were calm, and he guessed most of Xiao Heyu's thoughts.

But the longer she delays, the more favorable the situation will be for her.

As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best. For this kind of favored child who has everything at his fingertips, she naturally cannot easily fulfill his wish.

After all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just so-so to someone like him.

It would be better to keep him in suspense and drag it out longer.

"Your Highness, this smoke is poisonous!" The accompanying doctor quickly discovered something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to report.

"Your Highness, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the horses are starting to get anxious. If we continue, it will be dangerous." Chai Bin and others also began to persuade him.

Xiao Heyu's expression remained unchanged, his cruel eyes still staring at Shen Shuyi, and the finger wearing the ring gently pulled the bow.

"Why not? I have always been kind and gentle to women." Xiao Heyu said with a smile, but that smile was somewhat sinister and cruel.

"Your Highness, if you have no evidence to support your words, how can you gain people's trust?" Shen Shuyi said again.

When Chai Bin heard the voice, he felt it was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

His eyes fell on Shen Shuyi's face, but at this moment smoke was gradually rising and the flames were getting brighter and brighter, so his vision was blurry and he couldn't see the woman's cheek at all.

Xiao Heyu smiled and said, "Your Highness' words are golden, so they must be kept."

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "It is His Majesty who made the golden words, but I don't know who you are."

With just one sentence, Xiao Heyu was put on the fire.

Although those around him are all his confidants, the fight for the throne is full of intrigue and deception, and there is no guarantee that there are no spies around him.

What's more, the emperor is in charge of the world, so naturally he has countless spies. Only a fool would admit to such gossip.

Xiao Heyu held the reins in one hand, looked at Shen Shuyi coldly with a superior attitude, and said with a bit of pride.

"My father is the most wise and powerful emperor in the world. He made the nine provinces and four seas submit to him and was deeply loved by the people. He taught us from a young age that a gentleman should do what he should do and what he should not do, and that he should keep his word and keep his word."

Xiao Heyu's eyes were full of admiration, and he looked like he had both respect and love for his father.

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi had to admit that Xiao Heyu was a good flatterer. Regardless of whether Emperor Qianwu knew about his evil deeds, just saying that if these words reached the emperor's ears, they would probably offset many of his sins.

But Shen Shuyi didn't believe a single word of this nonsense!

The thing that those in power are best at is turning their backs on others without mercy. She had seen enough of that with Xiao Tingshan in her previous life, and now she is not stupid enough to trust Xiao Heyu again.

Deep down, she had no good feelings towards the people in the Xiao family!

But this doesn't stop her from delaying for a while.

"Your Highness is extremely noble, and I naturally believe in you. But I don't know why you are pointing an arrow at a commoner?" Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice.

I really want to ask him if he is unworthy of sitting on the throne of the prince, being worshipped by the people, but pointing the knife at his own subjects.

Fortunately, in his previous life, people like him and Xiao Tingshan did not get the last laugh.

I just don’t know what kind of person His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is. He is probably the same as me and not a good person.

Xiao Heyu did not answer this time, but sneered: "You are sharp-tongued, could you be a spy sent by the enemy country?"

After he finished speaking, Xiao Heyu drew his bow and arrow, obviously running out of patience.

The next moment, something unexpected happened. A young man behind Chai Bin suddenly fell off the horse and then convulsed violently.
