Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 305
Shen Yu raised his foot and kicked a stone. The stone flew over and hit the monk's knee. He turned over and fell to the ground. The sixth prince rushed over and pressed his sword on the neck.

"Say, did you kill Vice Commander An?"

"Amitabha, I am wronged. I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill someone."

"Then what are you running for?"

"I'm not feeling well today, and I've been resting in my room. Just now, when my lord summoned the monks, I thought I was almost recovered, so I prepared to go there. It turned out that there were so many officials here, and I was a little flustered for a while."

"Who in Mingjue Temple likes to feed the birds?" Shen Yu stepped forward and put his foot on the novice's palm, making a show of not stepping on it.

"Elder Jiujie and his disciples."

"Where?"

"Out in the woods."

"Take us there." Shen Yu withdrew his feet, drew out his sword and pushed the novice out of the small gate to the woods.

The forest outside Mingjue Temple is full of towering fir trees, and there are lower miscellaneous trees below, intertwined and growing together, making it difficult to distinguish the direction when walking in.

A group of people walked for about a cup of tea, and a tree house popped up on the top of the miscellaneous trees in front, which was built with the branches and vines underneath.There is no door, just a gap between the canes.

"What is this?" the sixth prince asked, pointing to the tree house.

"Elder Jiujie usually comes here to feed the birds when he is free. I came here with him once."

The sixth prince glanced at the novice monk, turned his head and said, "Go up and have a look." The guards following behind walked to the bottom of the tree house and climbed the branches to enter.As soon as the four people walked in, there was a burst of exclamation, and then someone rushed out from the gap in the rattan, followed by a white falcon, and the sharp beak knocked on the guard's neck, creating a blood hole.

The man screamed and fell down, and the people below hurriedly stopped the bleeding and drove the white falcon that swooped down.The other three people covered their faces or eyes and fell from the tree house, and the sky and the ground were in a panic.

Hurrah, the sound of the flapping of the bird's wings, countless feathers fluttered down, and the sound of croaking came from the depths of the dense forest.Overwhelming crows flew in and fluttered among the crowd, their feathers carrying dust and fallen leaves, causing everyone in the forest to flee in a hurry.

Shen Yu turned his head to see that the novice was running up the mountain with his neck curled up. He walked around the tree house and chased after him.

A thatched hut appeared halfway up the mountain, and the novice rushed in the door, and after a while, he escorted Su Tiange, whose hands were bound, out, glanced at Shen Yu who was following behind, and turned right to walk into the woods.

Shen Yufei chased after him, and saw that Su Tiange was staggered and staggered by the monk.He hurriedly quickened his pace in his heart, but about ten feet away, a bird swooped over, its sharp beak piercing his eyes.

Shen Yu had no choice but to stop, and chased and killed the group of birds that came to make trouble.When he got away from the flock of birds and chased after him, he found that the novice was standing on the edge of a descending slope with a knife against Su Tiange's neck. Full of hard gravel.

A piece of sackcloth was wrapped around Su Tiange's mouth, his hands were tied behind his back so he couldn't move, his eyes looked at Shen Yu who was chasing up from below, and he bent slightly, as if saying to him, "I know you will definitely come".Shen Yu stood two steps away, not daring to step forward, for fear that the novice monk would get emotional and hurt her again.

"I originally planned to leave tonight, but you didn't give me a way to survive. Since I can't survive, everyone will die together." The monk was a little excited.

"Whether you kill An Pingzhi or not has nothing to do with me. As long as you let her go, I'll let you go. The whole forest is full of birds you raised, and you can escape wherever you want."

"You're a liar. I heard from my seniors that An Guogong said that if you can't find the murderer, you have to take the blame yourself. I won't be so stupid to believe your nonsense."

"As long as you let her go, I can take the blame." Shen Yu breathed out, carefully staring at the dagger in Sha Mi's hand.

The novice hesitated a bit, he could be the king in this forest, as long as he could escape from this man, he could escape into the forest, and no one could find him.His hand holding the dagger shook slightly, showing his indecision.

"I can put down the sword, I only want her." Shen Yu said this but looked at Su Tiange.The scene that happened on the edge of Meishan cliff that day made him feel terrified even now when he thinks about it, he would rather exchange his life for her, as long as she lives well.

The novice monk watched Shen Yu slowly put down the sword in his hand, his eyes moved, he grabbed Su Tiange and walked two steps forward, suddenly his arm was strong, he pushed forward, then turned and ran.

Frightened, Shen Yu flew over to catch the falling Su Tiange, hugged him tightly in his arms and rolled down the hillside until he hit a cedar tree before stabilizing his body.

Hey, a feathered arrow came over from the forest, he protected Su Tiange and dodged to the side, the feathered arrow pierced into the mud beside the fir tree.At the same time an arrow shot through the woods and shot up the hillside.

Then there was a splash, and the monk was murdered and silenced.

"There, there." The sixth prince rushed over with the people, Shen Yu rubbed the bruise on his waist and helped Su Tiange stand up, and untied the rope and the linen.

"Your face is hurt." As she spoke, she rummaged through the medicine in her sleeve.

"Don't worry, you still have a mask on your face." After the two finished speaking, the sixth prince rushed over panting, "Where's the novice?"

"It should have been silenced in the stream." Shen Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Su, are you okay?"

"It's okay, you go and bring the monk's body back to the temple, Master Liu should still be waiting for a job."

"This is a matter of urgency." The sixth prince waved his hands to make people hurry up.He sat down on his buttocks, took out the feathered arrow stuck in the mud and looked at it, "This is the feathered arrow issued to An Pingzhi by the Royal Forest Army. It seems that this matter is not that simple."

"How many people did An Pingzhi offend?" Shen Yu took Yu Jian and looked at it, and there was a word "An" engraved on it, "The deputy commander's Yu Jian should not be accessible to everyone, and you should be able to find the suspect if you go down and check it." people."

"Yesterday, when my father was in court, he coughed repeatedly. The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated him as an asthma attack. He needs to take medicine every day, otherwise he will cough and wheeze incessantly at night."

"In addition to worrying about the emperor's condition, you should also pay close attention to the prince's movements." Su Tiange paused and asked, "If you are asked to marry Miss Minghui, would you be willing?"

"What does this have to do with marrying Miss Ann?"

"What do you think the crown prince is working so hard for? You can turn this matter over and think about it. You first thought about marrying Miss Minghui, and then you considered the Anguo government behind her. Wouldn't it be better? "

"I'm afraid Miss An is unwilling."
