One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The next day, the sun was high in the sky, flags were fluttering, and the camp was filled with the clatter of horses.

Baili Qingfeng sat on top of a tall and pure black horse. His face was filled with joy as he said, "There is no need to stand on ceremony today. Everyone, show your ability. We have a great reward for your bravery."

"Yes, thank you, your majesty!" Everyone cheered as they raised their bows high in the air, especially the princes who had complacent looks on their faces. Even the horses beneath them were restless.

Baili Qingfeng picked up his bow and arrow, his eyes were filled with deep concentration. The bow in his hand curved into a full moon, and he suddenly shot the first arrow.

"Alright!" The surrounding people congratulated him, and before long, a guard brought Baili Qingfeng's deer over. "Your Majesty is truly wise and wise!"

"Haha, good, now it's all up to you guys." Baili Qingfeng announced the start of the hunt. Immediately, the sounds of horses galloping filled the air, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

Shen Ninghua sat on the horse and watched as the Second Prince took the lead. The light in her eyes was cold and indifferent as she pulled on the reins, "Ride!"

The cyan sparrow rode behind Shen Ninghua while the two of them stayed at the back of the group. As they walked along the road, they enjoyed the scenery around them, which made them seem quite interesting.

Gradually, everyone dispersed and began to search for their prey in the forest.

Shen Ninghua was not in a hurry to hunt, so she only rode her horse slowly. Suddenly, she stopped and raised her head to look at the tree branches.

A squirrel that had been standing on the branch suddenly jumped and fell to the ground, disturbed by the horses. The pine cone in its hands fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Hehe," Shen Ninghua chuckled lightly. "This squirrel is really stupid."

The cyan sparrow got off the horse and carried the squirrel to Shen Ninghua. "Miss, if you like, you can bring it back to raise."

Shen Ninghua stroked the squirrel's furry ears. "It grew in the mountains, so how could it get used to the cage? Forget it, let it go back."

Just as she was about to hand the squirrel over to the Cyan Sparrow, the squirrel suddenly jumped onto the horse's head and ruthlessly stomped on the horse's eyes.

Shen Ninghua was surprised, unconsciously pulling on the reins. Sure enough, in the next second, the horse suddenly whinnied and leaped high into the air, running rapidly towards the woods.

"Miss!"

The cyan sparrow let out a scream and quickly chased after Wang Lin with its horse.

Chu Junyi had been keeping a close eye on Shen Ninghua's movements from the shadows. When she saw something amiss, she immediately turned her horse to give chase.

Shen Ninghua tightly gripped the horse's abdomen, the reins in her hands grinding painfully, a faint smell of blood wafting into her nose. She knew that her palm had been torn, but she did not dare to let go. At this time, falling off the horse could break all the bones in her body, plus the ground was littered with rocks and dried branches, her luck was just a little bit off before she died.

Chu Jun pursed his lips and continued to drive the horse around. However, because of the distance between them, he was unable to catch up to them, "Jia! Jia!" Ride! "Xiao Hua, hold on to the reins!"

Baili Jinze, who was leading the way, saw a flash of red in the depths of the forest. The light in his eyes suddenly brightened as he shouted, "There's an Elk!" He then turned his horse and ran into the forest, leaving the guards behind.

The shadow guard jumped out from the tree, holding the dead squirrel in his hand. "Master, the arrangements have been made."

"Yes, according to our plan, I'll go chase after Princess Radiant. You two kill Chu Junyi and Qingque, you can't let them leave the forest alive!"

"Yes, Mistress."

The more the horses galloped, the more concentrated the forest became. Shen Ninghua's heart sank even more. Because he had been using too much strength, the muscles on his arms were numb to the pain and his palms were already badly mangled.

Chu Junyi urged her horse forward, but the speed of the horse was getting slower and slower. Fear and worry filled her heart as she clenched her fists. Suddenly, he heard the sound of air being pierced. He turned around and bent over. An arrow shot past his back.

Chu Junyi's pupils constricted. If she hadn't dodged the arrow in time, the arrow would have hit her right in the middle of her back.

The arrow was like a signal to Chu Junyi. It was followed by a rain of arrows flying towards her.

Shen Ninghua pulled out her sword. Her sword was rolled into a flower, protecting her surroundings completely. However, the horse wasn't so lucky. It was directly shot by the arrow and turned into a wasp nest. It whinnied twice before lying on the ground without any signs of life.

Through the rain of arrows, Chu Junyi looked in the direction that Ning Hua had disappeared to, a thick killing intent in his eyes. These people deserve to die!

After running for about two hours, he gradually started to feel tired. Shen Ninghua slowly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to shout for the horses to stop. However, arrows suddenly came from out of nowhere and pierced right into the horse's head.

The horse whinnied and suddenly stopped. Shen Ninghua was thrown out of the way by the inertia.

While she was gritting her teeth to bear the pain, she suddenly felt someone was holding her by the waist.

"Xiao Hua, how are you?"

"Hmm, I was hunting an elk just now. I didn't expect to see your horse lose control, so I hurried over to help you. It's great that you're fine. "

Shen Ninghua pushed him away, frowning as he looked at the dead horse on the ground. A ghostly light flashed in his eyes. "Many thanks to His Imperial Highness, Second Prince."

"No problem." Baili Jinchuan smiled slightly, as if he didn't notice Shen Ninghua's distance. Lowering his head to sweep his gaze across her arm, a look of worry appeared on his face, "Ninghua, you're hurt?"

Saying that, he took out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine from his chest pocket. "I have some medicinal powder here. Use it first. Let's find a place to rest first. I'll help you bandage it up."

Shen Ninghua retracted the arm that was in so much pain that it had no feeling, and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Second Prince. My maid should be here soon. I just need to stand there and wait."

Shen Ninghua's expression did not change in the slightest, "Since His Highness Second Prince can understand, that would be for the best. However, the Second Prince knows that I had a serious illness in the past, and spent more than half a year recuperating in the village. Although the illness has been cured, there are many medicines that cannot be used anymore, so I thank you for your good will."

Seeing that Shen Ninghua still hadn't moved, Baili JinChuan let out a deep sigh. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, took out a dagger and sliced his own arm, causing blood to flow out instantly. He didn't seem to care at all as he sprinkled the powder on the wound, "Ning Hua, this powder is very effective on wounds. The wound on your palm is too severe. If you don't treat it now, it might affect the future."

Shen Ninghua's eyes twitched as she stretched out a badly mutilated finger. Baili JinChuan frowned, he wanted to personally apply the medicine for her, but Shen Ninghua dodged him and said, "It's good that I can do it myself."

Shen Ninghua directly took the medicine bottle and poured the powder on the wound. Her actions were light and smooth, as if the wound on her hand didn't even exist.

Chu Junyi and the cyan sparrow were still in the midst of the rain of arrows. The arrows had already landed on the ground, but some of them were still flying through the air. The bird had been hit by the arrows. Its face was pale and it clenched its teeth tightly.

The arrows were smeared with poison.

Chu Junyi grabbed an arrow and shot it through the grass. Chu Junyi felt a tingling sensation on her palm. She thought to herself, "What a good plan! The entire arrow is poisoned. What a wicked plan!"

He took out the antidote pill that Shen Ninghua had given him from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he picked up the arrow from the ground and shot it back the way he came.

An hour later, Chu Junyi was panting heavily. He ran forward to see the cyan sparrow under siege. He drew his sword and joined the battle.

About two hours had passed by the time the two of them had completely eliminated the dark guards.

Chu Junyi fed the bird an antidote pill. "Where did Xiao Hua go?"

"To the east!"

"Go back and call for reinforcements. It would be best if the emperor was lured here."

"Yes, this servant understands."

Leaning against the roadside, he rested for about two hours. Only then did his numb and sore arms start to feel better. Shen Ninghua carefully pulled out a golden needle from the edge of her sleeve and carefully hid it.

In the afternoon, the sun had weakened, and the dense forest became even darker. Baili JinChuan lit a bonfire, and moved closer to the flame to roast a rabbit.

"Ning Hua, the dew is heavy at night. If you get closer to the fire, you'll warm up, and those Snake Worm Ants won't dare to get closer."

"No problem." Feeling his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, Shen Ninghua couldn't help knitting his brows together.

"Xiao Hua, you're tired. If you're tired, then sleep for a while."

Shen Ninghua suddenly raised his head, yet he felt a burst of powerlessness on his body as he suddenly fell forward.

Baili JinChuan caught her, a trace of a smile appearing in his eyes, "Ninghua, what's wrong?"

Shen Ninghua fiercely bit the tip of her tongue and asked, "When did you do it?"

"When you were lighting the fire just now, you added a bit of sleeping incense to the fire. The place where you sat is at a disadvantage."

"Baili JinChuan, you are really despicable!"

"I'm doing this for your own good. I assume Chu Junyi has already turned into a violent corpse. She won't be able to marry you even if she wanted to." A trace of infatuation flashed across Baili JinChuan's eyes as he lifted his hand and caressed Shen Ninghua's face.

Her impeccable appearance became even more exquisite and charming under the illumination of the flames. At this moment, her red riding dress was like a cluster of enchanting flames, attracting many people like a moth flying about. Even if she were to die, she would willingly be willing to do so.

Your horse was accidentally alerted, and I occasionally met you and saved you, but I lost all my horses, so I can only stay the night in the forest. It was very dangerous in the forest, but we ran into a pack of wolves at night, so I had to help you take off your clothes and heal your wounds …

Shen Ninghua sneered, the ridicule in her eyes couldn't be wiped away. "Baili JinChuan, you're such a despicable person!"

Baili JinChuan laughed, "If I can get you, what can I do about it?"
