Chapter 323 Beware of His Backstabbing
From then on, Zheng Hao stayed alone by the side of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to repay his gratitude and protect him at all times.
If Zheng Hao could betray Zhou Yichen, then others would be even more likely to do so.
Among these people, the only one Chu Xi can trust the most is Zheng Hao. Chu Xi doesn't know the others well and cannot trust them even more.
When Jian Ba heard that Qi Jianshu wanted a bow and arrow, he quickly found one for him and handed it to him.
"Major General, you are still injured..."
Although the sword thrown by Chu Jiang was blocked by Jian Qi, the sword pierced through his abdomen from the back, and the sharp tip of the sword inevitably scratched Qi Jianshu's arm.
The cut wasn't big, but it was an injury after all, and it wasn't any easier than not being injured.
Moreover, the young general behind them chased Chu Jiang and others all the way to the city, and countless arrows were shot down from the city wall at that time.
Although the major general shot down many arrows with his spear, a few arrows still grazed his body, leaving wounds on his legs and arms.
It takes strength to draw a bow, and he was worried that the young master's wound would reopen.
Qi Jianshu said in a cold tone, "Nothing."
Seeing that Qi Jianshu was determined to shoot arrows, Jian Ba did not dare to persuade him anymore.
The captain next to him saw Qi Jianshu aiming the bow and arrow at the young man who was fighting desperately, and said with a cold look.
"If Chu Jiang doesn't die, he will sooner or later become a major threat to our Xi Chu. Rather than waiting for him to grow up and become a powerful enemy of our Xi Chu, it is better to get rid of him first."
The words sound nice, but when it comes to really taking action, none of them dared to get close to Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang was a martial arts expert, and anyone who got close to him was either injured or killed without exception.
Qi Jianshu's riding and archery skills were witnessed by everyone. He shot Tang Juncheng with one arrow, which was no exaggeration to say that he could hit the target from a hundred paces away.
With such archery skills, if Chu Xi is caught off guard, even Chu Xi would not be able to dodge it.
Qi Jianshu did not respond to the chatter of the person next to him.
Ever since the defeat at the North Gate, he and Chu Jiang seemed to be destined enemies. Wherever Chu Jiang was, he could always ruin their original plans.
Even without any hint from others, he would find a way to kill Chu Jiang in Xi'an City.
Chu Jiang has a huge influence on the defenders of Xi'an City. As long as he falls, it will definitely affect the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Sure enough, an arrow was shot out, and the sharp tip of the arrow shot towards the boy's location with unstoppable force.
An arrow pierced through countless soldiers and shot towards Chu Xi's back. When Tang Yuhuai saw this, he swept his spear and, regardless of the Western Chu soldiers around him, he shot away the arrow that was almost going to hit Chu Xi's back.
Tang Yuhuai shot the arrow away, then stood his spear on the ground and looked in the direction where the arrow came from with cold eyes. He saw a familiar old acquaintance, Qi Jianshu, sitting high on the horse, holding a bow and arrow.
There was murderous intent in his eyes, and the way he looked at them was like looking at prey during a hunt, he was determined to get them.
Tang Yuhuai looked back at him calmly. After shooting down the arrow, there was no trace of pride on his face.
Since they are in the hostile camp, it is understandable whether Qi Jianshu is shooting arrows from behind or not.
Even if the means were not fair, anyone with eyes could see that Qi Bai's influence in the army was now even greater than that of General Han and the Third Prince.
Killing him would greatly affect the morale of the army. No wonder they wanted to kill him again and again.
Chu Xi heard the noise behind her and turned around. The arrow had already fallen to the ground. Tang Yuhuai was standing behind her with a gun in his hand, as if he was going to charge at me, while Qi Jianshu had not put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
She didn't even need to ask to know who attacked her?
Tang Yuhuai just glanced at Qi Jianshu, then kicked the gun barrel with his foot, moved his hand to the middle position, and easily pierced a Western Chu soldier on the right with the tip of the gun.
The tip of the spear in the Western Chu soldier's hand was less than two inches away from Tang Yuhuai's arm, but Tang Yuhuai seemed to have grown many pairs of eyes and did not need to observe specially.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yichen was startled when he saw Tang Yuhuai's actions. He subconsciously stepped on the shoulders of the two men and flew to Chu Xi's side.
"I'm fine." Chu Xi shook her head. She changed her sword, jumped behind Zhou Yichen, and chopped down the two people who intended to launch a sneak attack.
"Your Highness, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."
Zhou Yichen hummed.
The captain of Xi Chu couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "What a pity, Chu Jiang was so lucky that he was rescued."
Otherwise, the arrow would pierce through the body and would require lying down for several days even if not dying.
Qi Jianshu's eyes were calm. He didn't feel disappointed or discouraged after missing the first shot. He just reached out to Jian Ba and said, "Bring me a few more arrows."
Jian Ba naturally had no doubts about Qi Jianshu's words. He quickly took seven or eight arrows from the basket behind the archer next to him and handed them to him.
He just had a cold face towards the unfamiliar captain next to him.
He knew clearly what the young master was thinking. Even if Jian Qi had not died at the hands of Chu Jiang, the young master would never show mercy again and again.
After all, they are not in the same camp. Since they are born enemies, there is no need to hesitate.
The captain treated Qi Jianshu the same way as most people did, with a contemptuous attitude. He thought Qi Jianshu was incompetent because of their defeat at the North Gate and gossiped about them a lot in private.
Now he was talking to Qi Jianshu, but Qi Jianshu ignored him. He felt even more bored and rolled his eyes. He thought, why are you so proud? He has been defeated by that Prince Chu several times, and he still has the nerve to ignore me?
The captain felt embarrassed and with a cold face, he waved the reins and charged towards the battlefield.
His target was also Chu Jiang, who wanted to embarrass Qi Jianshu.
If the person that Qi Jianshu couldn't kill died in his hands, he didn't believe that Qi Jianshu could still be as arrogant as he is now?
Is it a big deal to know how to set up a formation?
The formation looks okay, but what’s the result?
It was because Chu Jiang and his men escaped and one of them died, but they ended up losing hundreds of people, either dead or injured. The ratio between the two sides was simply a world of difference.
So, General Qi is biased, biased towards his own family members. He has already failed several times, but he still gives him a chance...
Jian Ba was more careful than Jian Qi. He noticed the captain's cold face when he left, and whispered, "Major General, be careful of that man just now. Be careful that he might stab you in the back."
The young master's situation in the army is worrying now, but these individuals are not concentrating on dealing with the war, but are only thinking about intrigues and the immediate benefits.
The intrigues in the army are no less intense than those in the imperial court.
Chu Xi naturally didn't know about their little tricks. Facing the man who suddenly rushed towards her on horseback, the only word in her eyes was "enemy".
She scraped the ground with her heels, turned her body, and flipped over several times, from bottom to top, like a sword dance, as graceful as a startled swan, and extremely beautiful.
He dodged the opponent's spear tip, landed on the ground, leaned back, and slid behind the horse, which was behind the captain, while brushing against the ground under his horse.
Everything happened so fast that the Xi Chu captain had no time to react. He looked around for someone.
"What about people?"
