Chapter 53 He doesn’t dare to gamble
When Jun Yanci just entered Lingshan, he left the team quietly.

He headed west, eager to see his Qianqian as soon as possible.

Jun Yanci always remembered what she said to him last night.

Can't leave her sight.

He is very well-behaved and obedient, so he came to find Qianqian.

As they walked along the way, Jun Yanci had already sensed something was wrong, not to mention the unusual roars of the wild beasts in the mountains.

Sure enough, Yun Chengyi and Sheng Bailan were seen in front. They were surrounded by three leopards and could not escape.

Jun Yanci quickly pulled out two arrows, used his internal strength, and shot out instantly with the arrow heads carrying a sharp aura.

"Good archery!"

Sheng Bailan exclaimed in amazement. One arrow shot into the leopard's neck, which was accurate. The other arrow even pierced through the heads of two leopards directly, killing two leopards with one arrow.

With such superb archery skills, winning the championship would be a piece of cake.

He turned his head and was about to see who it was when he saw Jun Yanci's face. Sheng Bailan was suddenly stunned.

It turned out to be the frail Crown Prince?
Sheng Bailan looked behind him and didn't see anyone else. It seemed that this Crown Prince was a very powerful person.

"Where's Qianqian?"

After hearing what he said, Yun Chengyi looked puzzled.

"Didn't you meet him?"

Didn’t Yun Qianyi go looking for him? Could it be that the silly girl got lost again?

Jun Yanci shook his head, not knowing that he and Yun Qianyi just missed each other.

At this moment, a short arrow flew past their eyes. Jun Yanci glanced sideways and used the palm wind to push Yun Chengyi and Sheng Bailan away from them.

Almost as soon as they lifted their feet, three more short arrows shot into the ground where they had just stood.

It was extremely thrilling, just a hair's breadth of difference.

"There's an assassin! Be careful, Your Highness!"

Sheng Bailan practiced martial arts and his reaction was much faster than Yun Chengyi. He immediately determined the direction of the weapon and pushed Yun Chengyi into the blind spot of the tree.

"you go first."

Jun Yanci rode over, grabbed Yun Chengyi and put him on the black horse he was riding, then jumped off and patted the horse's back. The black horse immediately ran away with Yun Chengyi.

But Jun Yanci didn’t know that there was more than one person in the Yun family who was bad at finding directions. For example, Yun Chengyi was the second one.

It was also thanks to him that he ran in the wrong direction down the mountain that he happened to run into Yun Qianyi.

After dealing with this wave of assassins, Jun Yanci looked at the familiar short arrow and suddenly asked Sheng Bailan:
"Was the Jiang family's incident caused by someone in the palace?"

"How does Your Highness know?"

Jun Yanci did not answer and continued to say to him:

"After the murder on New Year's Eve, the emperor intends to set up a nine-gate patrol camp in the capital to protect the safety of the capital. I can make a suggestion to the emperor and hand over the position of admiral to you."

Hearing this, Sheng Bailan suddenly looked at Jun Yanci with his eyes wide open.

The Nine Gates Commander is a third-rank official with real power. How could such a good thing fall into the hands of the Sheng family, which has always been neglected?

The Sheng family had a small population, and most of them died on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives for the country. So when it came to Sheng Bailan's generation, he was the only one in the family.

"But I have one condition."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Sheng Bailan looked at Jun Yanci seriously, and was mentally prepared, waiting for his instructions.

"I want the Sheng family to be loyal to Yun Qianyi. Remember, it's not the Yun family, nor the Jiang family, but Yun Qianyi."

Sheng Bailan keenly noticed from Jun Yanci's eyes that whenever the name Yun Qianyi was mentioned, the Crown Prince's seemingly cold eyes would become a little gentler. He thought that the Sheng family would be involved in the disputes among the princes, but he didn't expect that Jun Yanci would not ask him to take sides, but to protect Yun Qianyi?

"Miss Yun has done me a favor, and the Jiang and Yun families have done the Sheng family a favor. I will definitely repay Miss Yun. Whenever Miss Yun has any instructions, I will do my best to do things for her."

Jun Yanci never believed in people's hearts, because people's hearts would always change. Only tangible interests were the safest.

First someone used incense to poison Yun Xiuyi, and then someone else used this trick to attack Yun Qianyi.

When Jun Yanci was falling asleep with Yun Qianyi in his arms last night, he had thought carefully about the private relationship between Yun Xiuyi and himself. Not many people in the capital knew about it.

In addition, he went to Duke Jiang's mansion that day at the last minute, and the person who planned this matter had arranged for the gardener to enter the Jiang family a few days in advance.

Therefore, the other party's target was not him. This person should be targeting the Yun family and the Jiang family.

"Remember your words."

Just as Jun Yanci finished speaking, he saw the white figure on the mountain being taken away by several men in black.

The forest was foggy and he could not see clearly, but he followed. Sheng Bailan hurriedly rode to catch up, but the Crown Prince had disappeared.

When he gradually found Jun Yanci and the group of assassins by following the messy horse hoof prints.

Jun Yanci had killed four or five waves of men in black. Every time he wanted to move forward to confirm whether it was Yun Qianyi, a new assassin would always appear to stop him.

"Jun Yanci! If you dare to move forward again, I will push her down!"

What they never expected was that even without any guards around him, Jun Yanci could kill them all alone.

You know, even the top ten masters in the martial arts world can't kill nearly three hundred elite killers so quickly.

Jun Yanci's god-like face was stained with blood, and he was surrounded by murderous aura, like a fallen god descending to the earth, which was creepy.

"Qianqian."

He murmured and called her in a low voice, but the fog was too thick. Jun Yanci could only vaguely see the white figure with his head lowered, being caught by the killers without any reaction.

Seeing that Jun Yanci had no intention of stopping, the killer gritted his teeth and let go of the woman he had captured.

“Qianqian!”

How could Jun Yanci not know that this might be a trap.

Judging from what Yun Chengyi said just now, Qianqian might have gone to find him, so she wouldn't appear in the east. But his Qianqian is a person with poor direction, what if she got lost in the west?

Qianqian would not allow herself to be manipulated by others. From the moment he met her, Jun Yanci knew that even if her strength had not been fully revealed, she was a rare strong person he had ever seen in this world.

However, as long as there was even the slightest possibility, he would not dare to gamble. What if it was really Qianqian?

What Sheng Bailan and Yun Qianyi saw was his back as he jumped down without hesitation.

"Your Highness!"

"Ayan!"

Yun Qianyi suddenly rushed forward, but the moment his feet missed the target, he was pulled back by Yu Qingchen and Sheng Bailan respectively.

"Junior sister, calm down."

Yu Qingchen had never seen her so reckless. Yun Qianyi seemed to be reckless, but in fact she was very careful and cautious.

"Ms. Yun, don't be impulsive. What this gentleman said is right. There is a bottomless abyss below!"

Sheng Bailan kept Jun Yanci's instructions in mind and would never let Yun Qianyi get hurt.

Yun Qianyi raised her hand, signaling them to let her go. Standing on the edge of the cliff, her mind was filled with the scene of Jun Yanci jumping down just now.

She had no internal strength and no martial arts skills, so she would surely die if she jumped down.

The direction here is west. If we go around the bottom of the mountain, we may be able to find him.

"Hahaha, I didn't find you, but I killed the Crown Prince. It really was a piece of cake."
