Chapter 161
"A bunch of nonsense."

While speaking, Pei Ji put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the guards behind Gu Yanyi were also on alert immediately, and the atmosphere between the two began to become tense.

But Pei Ji just brushed the dust on his waist in a nonchalant manner, and said in a low voice, "Scholars always love to deceive people with gossip, and I have never believed in others, but only in myself."

"That's good." Gu Yanyi replied with a smile: "Master Shoufu just needs to understand that I am the one in Princess' heart."

He was irritating Pei Ji, and sure enough, the man's face was stiff and ashen, his words hit the center of the storm, he pulled the reins suddenly, the bloody horse's front hooves rose, and the neighing sound resounded through the hunting ground.

"Really? Let's compare."

There was a strong wind and heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and the raging waves and huge waves startled a large number of birds.

Pei Ji's voice was arrogant, blowing in the wind: "From now on, the person in the heart of the little princess can only be me, and it will only be me."

There was a deep chill in Gu Yanyi's eyes, like a huge hole in the abyss at the bottom of a lake, unknown but covered with ice, he reined in his horse and swung his whip to chase after him.

The sound of beating drums in the hunting ground, "dong dong dong" sounded continuously, and an unknown battle was in full swing.

……

The counting slave came running "Dengdengdengdeng": "Master Shoufu, the prey has been counted."

Pei Ji glanced lazily: "The result."

"Hunting today, you hunted 58, and Gu Shilang also had 58."

Pei Ji laughed suddenly, it was really funny, he fixed his eyes on Gu Yanyi's bloody right hand, he really didn't care about his hand, he just tried his best to intercept the prey he was about to get.

His tone was casual: "Gu Shilang, tell me, what is the calculation now?"

What Gu Yanyi wanted was his words, so he smiled and said: "Since it's a tie, let's compete again, you and I, whoever rides the horse around the entire hunting ground first will win."

"it is good."

Pei Ji responded readily, and the two of them immediately rode their horses and whips, and rushed out quickly, like the arrows that leave the string, the tip of the needle does not give way to the wheat awning.

The sky gradually turned dark, like an airtight cover, even the golden sunset couldn't shine in, and the sky and the earth were chaotic.

From the beginning, the two were on equal footing, until Gu Yanyi's horse gradually occupied the upper peak. He was never a competitive person, but this time, he had to lure Pei Ji over.

He whipped the horse hard, must go faster!
After a few zhang, he will reach the trap, he has already laid a net, as long as Pei Ji is trapped in it, he will surely die without a place to bury him.

Gu Yanyi galloped forward and made a fatal mistake, turning his back on a ferocious beast, exposing himself to its minions.

What he didn't know was that Pei Ji behind him was holding a crossbow with one hand, and the body of the crossbow hidden in his sleeve was exquisite and unique.

But it is engraved with a hydra pattern that looks like a man-eating snake, and the inlaid gems are awe-inspiring. It smells like an embroidered pillow, but its lethality is chilling.

Because this arrow has an inverted groove, and if it is lightly scraped, it will gouge out the heart and lungs.

What's more, it was Pei Ji who fired the arrow.

His black eyes exuded fierce killing intent, and he was ready to attack. It was a turbulent dark color so intense that it turned black. He slowly raised his wrist and aimed at Gu Yanyi who was in front of him.

Under the overwhelming wind, he squinted his right eye, and since then he has already drawn Gu Yanyi's heart, and he hit the target with one blow, and his calculation was just right.

Put your fingertips on the place where the arrow comes out, and the arrow is on the string, ready to go.

With a slight force, the fingertips slowly pressed down, and at the very moment, a rush of horseshoes came along with the dust——

"My lord! My lord!"

Gu Yanyi naturally heard the call of the chaos, he reined in the horse and immediately turned the horse's head.

"Sir, it's not good!"

Pei Ji's interest was disturbed, bloodthirsty brutality exuded all over his body, he raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and turned his horse slightly: "What's the matter?"

The black horse that was galloping forward didn't even have time to rein in the rope to stop completely, and Li Yi rolled and fell down. He staggered and knelt in front of Pei Ji, his voice trembling and disturbed, and his mind was terrified.

Pei Ji's eyes darkened, sensing something was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Yi finally raised his head, but his face was pale, full of astonishment and something bad happened.

"Something happened to the princess!"

**
A moment ago, someone threw the unconscious girl on the ground, lying in a pool of blood and no one cares about her.

Nian Shuang, who just came back, saw this scene, and ran over in shock: "Princess!"

Ah Rong, who was lying on the side, was still in a coma. A large number of palace people rushed in. Under the panic of everyone, the imperial physician also arrived.

The young girl's complexion was pale, her body was so cold that she was bloodless, she was lying on the sick bed like a doll who had lost her vitality, silent and full of despair.

Nian Shuang's frightened body shook like a sieve, sobbing anxiously at the side, clasped her hands together, and kept praying to the gods that the princess would be safe.

Ah Rong finally woke up slowly, Nian Shuang immediately shook him vigorously, crying desperately: "What are you doing! What happened, why did something happen to the princess?"

Ah Rong looked around in a daze, and after a long time of reaction, his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, numb like a piece of wood, and fell into infinite self-blame.

**
The Yamen hunting ground of the Ministry of War.

Li Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, just said that Princess Yun'an had an emergency, and Pei Ji and Gu Yanyi felt that something was wrong.

"My lord, go and have a look. No one can enter the gate of Yun'an Palace now, and our people don't dare to force it. You should hurry up!"

Pei Ji's face was terribly cold, and the darkness in his eyes was too intense to melt away. He pulled the reins violently, turned the horse's head, and rode away in the other direction.

In an instant, sand and gravel flew, and under the darkness that covered the earth and the sky, he broke through everything and rushed towards the girl he loved.

Pei Ji disappeared at the end of the hunting ground.

Gu Yanyi, who stayed where he was, didn't hesitate at all. He raised the whip in his hand and galloped towards the direction where he disappeared.

He has always been sensitive, and when he heard Li Yi's words just now, his heart beat violently. His right eyelid was throbbing all day today, which made him feel more and more ominous.

Something happened to the princess?
Regardless of the dull pain in his right hand, he galloped towards Yun'an Palace with his legs between his legs.

As night fell, everything was vaguely invisible. The magnificent palace of the imperial city was dull and grand, with brackets and eaves, and the glass under the palace lantern was magnificent, but it was hard to hide the unevenness.

Quietly hidden in the night, there were also groups of Jinwu guards, completely surrounding Yun'an Hall.

The hurried maid, holding a bloody white cloth in her hand, shuttled back and forth, Pei Ji was standing outside the palace gate, her figure even a little swaying.

He dared not go in.
