Chapter 13: Assassination

Yun Cang took a bow from the horse’s back and said in high and vigorous spirits, “OK, let’s go. But don’t kill it, capture it alive.”

Yun Cang was about to spur the horse while Hua Qingxin subconsciously grabbed the rein, “Wait…”

“What?” Yun Cang looked at the girl in his arms.

Hua Qingxin hesitated for a while and released her hands, “Oh, nothing, be careful.”

“I’ll, and I’ll be extremely careful, as you are still in my arms.” He said and fondled her belly naughtily. “Maybe there is a little fella with us.” He whispered.

“Let me go!” Hua Qingxin was a little bit worried about him, but now he just destroyed her concern. She pushed his hands away and ignored him.

Yun Cang rode forward and approached the fawn slowly. He drew the bow and calmly aimed at the rump of the fawn. Now, his eyes were fixed on the fawn.

At this moment, Hua Qingxin was looking around on the horse. Her attention was distracted to all directions.

Yun Cang aimed at his target and was about to release the arrow.

Suddenly, an arrow was shot right towards them; it almost grazed Hua Qingxin’s neck and finally hit Yun Cang’s chest.

“Ah!”

As Hua Qingxin screamed, both of them fell from the horse.

“Your Majesty!”

“Protect His Majesty!”

There were not many guards around them, but they immediately surrounded Yun Cang, ready to retreat.

Wei Jun, commander of the Imperial Guards, helped the emperor up and ordered, “Get the horse ready! Help His Majesty retreat.”
