Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 47

assassinated

The weather today is very good. The sun shines through the bare branches. The snow that was originally covered in the morning has melted a lot now, wetting the dust on the ground and making it muddy.

Neither of them cared about the reward ranking, so they did not follow the crowd to a place with many prey, but came to a relatively remote forest.

There is unmelted snow everywhere here. When the cold wind blows, the remaining snow on the branches will rustle down.It seemed particularly abrupt in the forest, which was completely silent, with few animals and only the occasional chirping of birds.

Joey sat on the back of the horse, swaying, looking at the snow and slush in front of him that was trampled by the horse’s hooves. From time to time, he would be hit on the head by the snow on his head.

“What’s this?” Joey was really beaten and lost his temper. He looked back angrily at Lou Ling behind him, only to find that the latter didn’t have any snow on his body. He was out of balance at all. “Why don’t you have any snow on your body? It’s not fair!”

Lou Ling held the reins in his hand and kept his eyes straight, “You have better luck.”

“What a fart!” Joey patted Lou Ling’s hand on his abdomen, “Get away! I’m going down!”

He didn’t believe it. He could still be hit by snow while walking?

Lou Ling lowered her head and glanced at Joey. She didn’t say anything, didn’t let go, and didn’t stop. Instead, she continued to drive her horse forward.

“…”

Joey couldn’t move forward or retreat, so he could only pick up the bow hanging by the side, pull it open and try it.

The quiver was at hand. Without thinking, Joey picked it up and put it on the string. He raised it, pulled the string to his shoulder, and aimed at a tree not far ahead.

“Whoosh!”

The arrow from the string pierced the sky with lightning speed and went straight to the tree trunk in the distance.

Looking at the place where the arrow disappeared, Joey carefully looked at the tree trunk over there, but did not find the shadow of the arrow he shot, and it did not even appear on the ground.

“Strange?” Joey looked at the tree trunk not far away, then looked down at the bow in his hand, “Did I miss the shot again? Isn’t it possible?”

Lou Ling also lowered his head and looked at the bow in Joey’s hand, and said, “This is the bow and arrow that is distributed every winter hunting. The workmanship is naturally not as fine as those in the Wangfu and Imperial College. Slight deviations are normal.”

Joey rolled over, “Really?”

Neither of them noticed that when they lowered their heads, there was an arm behind the tree trunk that was almost the same color as the tree trunk and was quietly pulling out the arrow that had stabbed their arm.

“Forget it.” Joey stopped worrying. Anyway, his archery skills were indeed not good, and it was common for his shots to miss.

Rather than thinking about whether the arrow hit or not, Joey wanted to get off his horse immediately and clear away the snow that fell on his neck. The snow that fell on his body turned into water and flowed down, making him very uncomfortable now.

Seeing Joey twisting and turning in his arms, Lou Ling was afraid that he would fall, so he could only restrain his moving body firmly with his hands.

“Let me get off.” Joey couldn’t stand it any more, so he elbowed Lou Ling away and was about to jump off the horse.

Lou Ling couldn’t stop him, so he had to let go.

He slid off the horse like a loach, then stood on the spot and jumped up and down several times before Joey felt that the snow water on his body was barely shaken off.

“Finally it’s not cold anymore.” Joey felt as if he had come to life. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to walk to the place not far away where he just missed.

Lou Ling watched Joey’s movements and saw that he wanted to leave, so he got off the horse and led the horse to follow Joey.

There really weren’t many things in this forest. Joey walked for a while without seeing any living things. He couldn’t help but start to wonder what Qi Louling’s purpose was in bringing him here. “Why is there nothing here when you brought me here?”

It’s quite a distance from the central hunting area, and there really isn’t much to hunt.Lou Ling knew this fact very well, because he brought Joey here on purpose.

But Lou Ling obviously would not tell this fact.He reached out and handed the bow and arrow to Joey, and motioned the latter to look at the white dumpling under a tree not far away, “Don’t you still want to practice your archery skills? Well, there is nothing else here, but there are a lot of rabbits. Rabbits can run fast and have sensitive reactions, which is just right for you to practice with.”

“Really?” Joey took the bow and arrow, a little doubtful.He raised his hand and pulled up the bow string, aiming at the rabbit squatting under the tree not far away.

“Uh-huh!”

Accompanied by the sound of an arrow being shot, in the blink of an eye, the rabbit with its pink triangle mouth squirming just now fell to the ground.

Joey was very surprised when he saw this, “I actually got shot?!”

But it was only a surprise for a while, and soon Joey felt strange again, why he could shoot the moving rabbit, but he couldn’t even touch the edge of the tree that was still just now.

“Lou Ling.” Joey said directly.

“What?”

“Let’s go back and take a look at the place just now.” Joey looked at Lou Ling and said, “I don’t think I saw the arrow that fell off on the ground just now.”

Lou Ling instantly understood what Joey meant and said, “Let’s go.”

Back under the tree just now, Joey walked around the trunk, but found no trace of the arrow he had just shot.

But Joey discovered something unexpected.

“I…probably…didn’t miss it.” Joey’s eyes slowly followed the blood stains on the ground. Looking at the long series of traces, he was a little silent.

If the object hit by the arrow was an animal, there would be no movement at all.If he could hold back the pain and not make any sound for the two of them to notice, it was obvious that what Joey had just shot was a human.

“…”

Although it was not unusual for someone to be in the woods at this time, what Joey was mainly wondering about now was who would endure the pain and not make any sound.

Was that person afraid that the two of them would know about the injury?Can’t the two of them know that there are other people here besides them?Or… is that person hiding here waiting for them to come?

Joey didn’t want to think the worst about things, but…

What Joey knew obviously couldn’t support his idea. He turned around and wanted to ask Lou Ling a few words.

However, when he turned his head, Joey saw a sword with silver light stabbing straight towards Lou Ling’s neck.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and before his brain could react, Joey’s hand had already reached out and pulled Lou Ling away.

Lou Ling took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the sword that was pointed directly at him.

The next moment, the two turned around and found that a group of masked people had gathered around them.He was dressed in the same color as the surrounding trees and covered his face with a piece of white cloth. Only a pair of sinister eyes were exposed. It was obvious that he had come with bad intentions.

“No?” Joey looked at those people, his legs took a few steps back unconsciously, his mind was spinning like a top whipped by a whip, and he couldn’t even think clearly about it, “What’s going on?”

Lou Ling did not answer, but looked coldly at the killers in front of him who were obviously trained and whose targets were heading straight for him, and said to Joey in a deep voice: “Get on the horse first.”

Joey sat on the horse in a daze.Lou Ling was still standing nearby, seemingly not planning to leave with Joey.

“Come up here too!” Joey looked at the masked men who were about to move, fearing that they would rush over and attack the two of them now.But Lou Ling didn’t move yet. He was anxious and reached out to pull Lou Ling, trying to pull him onto the horse.

Lou Ling ducked sideways to avoid Joey’s movement.

“?!”

Joey lowered his head and looked at Lou Ling, then at the people who came unexpectedly, and seemed to realize something, “Those people…” Couldn’t they be coming for Lou Ling?

As if she could tell what Joey was thinking, Lou Ling raised her eyes and without explaining, she just raised her hand and pulled out a sword from the side of the horse.

“Lou Ling!” Joey, who saw what Lou Ling wanted to do, really didn’t expect it. Damn, how could this man be so courageous? He actually wanted to fight five or six strong men by himself. Damn it!With their physiques, they don’t have the strength to rely solely on skills. The four of him and Lou Ling combined may not be enough to cut those people with their swords, fuck!

Lou Ling didn’t respond, her face was full of indifference and alienation, exactly the same as Joey’s attitude when she first met him.

Joey felt that Lou Ling was really crazy. What the hell were you doing at this time? This horse could obviously take the two of them away.

“Why are you convulsing at this time?!” Joey felt that Lou Ling’s mind was broken, “Come up quickly!”

“Uh-huh!”

Lou Ling turned a deaf ear and raised his hand, the sword in his hand passed across the horse’s back.

“Uh-huh!!!”

After being scratched by the sword blade, the horse was no longer as calm and natural as it was at first. It immediately raised its forelimbs, screamed, and then rushed forward in a rampant manner.

Unprepared, Joey subconsciously grabbed the reins and tried his best to steady his body so as not to fall.

After coming back to his senses, Joey had been taken away by the horse for a long distance, and at the same time he was far away from the circle of people.

“Fuck!” Joey turned around and no one paid attention to his departure.That group of people was obviously heading for Lou Ling. Even when they saw Joey riding away, not even a single person paid attention to his movements.

Joey turned around and wanted to control the reins to bring the horse back, but the horse didn’t obey his orders at all. It had no direction and just kept moving forward at a high speed. Many low branches directly hit Joey in the face.

Joey turned back helplessly, and saw those people swinging their swords at Lou Ling, who was forced to retreat in the middle. Lou Ling also stepped forward with his sword.

Seeing that Lou Ling actually started fighting with those people, Joey couldn’t help but cursed, “This Lou Ling… Damn it!”

Of course, Joey couldn’t let Lou Ling be attacked there. He pulled hard on the reins again, trying to stop the horse that was still running wildly.

But the horse that had entered a state of madness could not be stopped just because Joey wanted it to.

“Fuck!”

Joey had no choice but to raise his head and try to find a way to force the horse to stop.

In the winter forest, apart from the bleak trees and some occasional small animals, there is only a layer of snow on the ground that has almost melted.

Listening to the wind whistling past his ears, and looking at the branches heading towards his front door one after another, Joey took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of determination.He quickly dropped the bow in his hand, then untied the arrow basket on his horse and threw it down.

After looking back at the things he threw down and making sure there were no problems, Joey looked forward, like an eagle’s eyes, and quickly and accurately found a place where the snow was relatively thick.

very good.

Joey closed his eyes and began to count in his mind, five, four, three, two, one…

Jump!

Joey’s legs came out of the saddle, and his feet released the pedals the moment he fell off the horse.However, because the horse ran too fast, Joey’s inertia was not small when he fell off the horse. He was dragged for a long time after falling off the horse, and finally rolled several times before barely stopping.

“Fuck! It fucking hurts!” Feeling a burning pain coming from his back, Joey guessed that his back had probably been bruised a lot.

Fortunately, there was a bit of snow blocking the way. Although Joey felt a little pain, it was not so exaggerated that he couldn’t walk.

Remembering that Lou Ling was still hanging over there, Joey didn’t care about his injuries at all. He immediately got up from the dirty and muddy snow water and ran straight back to the way he came.

Damn it, damn Lou Ling, please don’t die!

Joey staggered a few steps, thinking about picking up the things he just dropped.

But when he came to the place where he had thrown down the bow and arrow, Joey bent down to pick up the bow and arrow from the ground, and glanced forward casually.

But he didn’t know what he saw. Before he could straighten his waist, he froze in place.
