After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Why did you call me?" Xie Xing asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

What else could I possibly need her for?

Xie Yuze's face darkened.

His eldest and second eldest brothers were on guard against the assassination attempt that might happen at any time, and there was also the matter of Mingzhu's background. Only he wanted to stay by Xie Xing's side.

Xie Yuze didn't answer Xie Xing's question. Instead, he grabbed Xie Xing's collar and dragged him back, saying, "You can't ride or shoot, so you're no use staying here. Come back to the camp with me and we'll play chess."

Xie Xing's feet slid to the ground as he was dragged along.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and she struggled: "No."

If I go back to camp with him, how am I supposed to complete my mission?!

The message reached Xie Yuze's ears.

He immediately snorted coldly.

This little good-for-nothing is definitely up to no good.

What other tasks are there?

With him around, you can only dream!

"You have no choice. I'm telling you to come along, so you have to."

To prevent this little good-for-nothing from causing any more trouble, Xie Yuze simply picked him up and carried him on his shoulder.

"Oh!"

Xie Xing exclaimed in surprise as her gaze suddenly rose higher, startling her so much that she grabbed Xie Yuze's hair.

Xie Yuze felt a sharp pain on his scalp from being grabbed and gasped, "Xie Xing, why are you grabbing my hair? Let go!"

"Wow, so high!"

Carried on Xie Yuze's shoulder, Xie Xing's head was drooping, and the rush of blood to her head made her dizzy, but she quickly came to her senses and patted Xie Yuze's shoulder with both hands: "Put me down quickly, it's so high!"

Xie Yuze wouldn't listen to her.

He smiled, finally getting his revenge for the little girl drawing circles on his face with a calligraphy brush while playing chess in the car.

Xie Yuze gave a wicked smile: "You want me to put you down?"

"No."

As he spoke, he patted Xie Xing on his shoulder and carried her towards the tent like a bandit snatching a wife.

There was no weight on her shoulders at all. Xie Yuze frowned slightly. Had the people from the General's Mansion not given her any food?

How can it be so light?

Despite thinking this, Xie Yuze kept walking.

Xie Xing was getting anxious.

The autumn hunt is a key point in the plot. Without her scheming against Xie Mingzhu behind the scenes, how would the male and female protagonists in the original book have met and developed feelings for each other?

The male lead's hatred level hasn't progressed at all so far. If the relationship between the male and female leads doesn't progress either, she can forget about going home.

The more Xie Xing thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with Xie Yuze, her voice trembling with sobs, "Third Brother, Third Brother, please put me down, it hurts."

Scalding tears fell onto Xie Yuze's back, burning him until he froze.

The arrogant and spoiled young man who was just moments ago now seemed somewhat at a loss.

He intended to bring the person into the tent to keep an eye on them, but he didn't expect to bully them until they cried.

The sobbing on her shoulder continued, and her body even began to tremble slightly. She cried like a little kitten, looking extremely aggrieved, as if she had suffered some great torment.

Xie Yuze: "..."

No, he didn't do anything wrong.

Why is she crying as if he hit her?

Xie Yuze can't stand women crying, especially since this person is his own sister.

Perhaps it was the kinship at play; although he disliked Xie Xing, he couldn't help but feel bad when he heard her cry.

Xie Yuze had no choice but to say, "I can put you down, but you have to come to the camp with me obediently."

Xie Xing sobbed as he agreed, "Okay."

Xie Yuze waited a while before putting the person down from his shoulder.

But who knew that this brat could change her mind as quickly as a recipe? As soon as she landed, she took off running, disappearing into the distance like a monkey.

Xie Yuze: ...

"Damn!"

He stared blankly for a moment, watching Xie Xing's retreating figure, and couldn't help but swear.

That brat dared to play him!

He'll teach her a lesson when he catches her!

Xie Yuze immediately chased after him.

Xie Xing is in such a hurry, he must be up to no good and wants to harm Mingzhu.

Xie Yuze could not allow this to happen.

At the autumn hunting grounds, the princes had already ridden their horses into the forest to hunt. Just as the emperor was about to mount his horse, a sudden change occurred.

"You dog emperor! Prepare to die!"

As the sword flashed, countless assassins suddenly sprang out from all around, heading straight for the Chu Emperor.

"what!"

Everyone screamed in fright.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Xie Tongchen's expression changed drastically, and he immediately issued a loud order to protect Emperor Chu behind him.

The sounds of fighting erupted instantly, and the stench of blood filled the entire hunting ground. Emperor Chu turned pale with fright.

The autumn hunting grounds were heavily guarded; where did these assassins come from?

Although these assassins' target was the Chu Emperor, they killed anyone who came, whether they were officials' sons and daughters or guards.

Xie Tongchen never expected that the assassination attempt would actually happen.

Xie Xing is telling the truth!

If that's the case, then it wasn't just the three brothers who heard each other's thoughts at the victory banquet; Prince Jin, who had recently become very close to Xie Xing, was also there. That's why the assassination attempt at the victory banquet didn't happen that day.

On one occasion, even though Xie Tongchen had prepared in advance, he was still terrified by the sight of these assassins.

so many people.

They were prepared!

Moreover, each of them was highly skilled in martial arts and had laid a trap to take the life of the Chu Emperor.

No!

If this continues, the Chu Emperor will inevitably encounter danger.

"Your Majesty, hurry, mount your horse, let's go first." Xie Tongchen fought with the assassin while escorting the Chu Emperor toward the horses.

The princes, along with some talented young men, went hunting in the forest. Apart from Luo Hanfeng, who was not qualified to hunt, the only other people present were Xie Tongchen, Xie Yuhe, and others who had come prepared.

Xie Yuhe was a civil official, but his martial arts skills were inferior to Xie Tongchen's.

At this moment, he was hiding behind a guard, never expecting the assassination attempt to actually happen. Then, what about Mingzhu's background...?

Xie Yuhe's pupils trembled.

He quickly grabbed Xie Ansheng, who was fighting the assassins in front, and asked, "Father, where is Mingzhu?"

Xie Ansheng was awakened by his words.

His face was covered in warm blood, and he hurriedly told the people around him to go find Xie Mingzhu.

"Take Madam and the others and leave first. I'll go find Mingzhu!"

Xie Ansheng slew the approaching assassin with a single sword stroke, grabbed a horse, boarded the carriage, and went to find Xie Mingzhu.

Where did Xie Mingzhu go?

Not only Xie Ansheng was searching, but Xie Xing, who was hiding in the crowd, was also searching.

Chaos erupted around them. Xie Xing was seeing a dead body for the first time, and his heart pounded in fear.

Surrounded by wives and young ladies of officials fleeing for their lives, Xie Xing was the only one running towards the center of the battlefield.

"Puch!"

Just then, an assassin descended from the sky and stabbed the person next to Xie Xing with a single sword strike.

Warm blood splattered directly onto Xie Xing's face.

Xie Xing's mind went blank for a moment, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

The assassin's bloodthirsty gaze turned towards Xie Xing, his eyes filled with icy coldness. He locked onto Xie Xing and raised his hand to slash at him.

Xie Xing was startled and immediately came to her senses, awkwardly dodging to the side.

He dodged a sword strike.

But the assassin's next sword came quickly. How could Xie Xing, a person with no martial arts skills, possibly be a match for a highly skilled assassin?

Just as the assassin was about to stab Xie Xing, Xie Xing felt a tightness around her waist as someone lifted her up by the waist.
