Qin Jiang’s gaze swept across the imperial guard.

This person had not spoken since he entered the forest. For some reason, Qin Jiang vaguely felt that his gaze was a little too cold.

However, when he thought of the other party’s identity and duty, Qin Jiang felt relieved.

To put it bluntly, Qin Jiang had been protected too well by Qin Canglan and the Old Marquis all these years. He had learned some skills, but he lacked the instinct to sense danger.

Su Cheng had crawled out of the pile of dead people in the year of the famine. At that time, the craziest thing was to eat one’s son. He was not anyone’s son. If anyone caught him, he would die.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to train his beast-like crisis instincts.

He might not be able to tell who had ill intentions toward him, but he could sense it.

There was something wrong with this imperial guard.

“Hehe, isn’t that because you’re annoying?

Qin Jiang retorted sarcastically.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s better to be hated than useless. Speaking of which, is it because there are still traces of the medicine left in your body? Is that why you don’t even have the strength to hunt today?” At the mention of this, Qin Jiang’s expression quickly darkened.

He was forced to use a hidden weapon in the arena. In the end, not only did he not injure Su Cheng, but Su Cheng snatched it away and injured him.

He had lost all his face in front of so many people!

Qin Jiang’s hatred and jealousy towards Su Cheng could be said to have reached an extreme. If not for the two imperial guards guarding him, Qin Jiang would probably have had a life and death battle with Su Cheng on the spot.

Su Cheng did not take Qin Jiang’s words to heart. He was a person who bore grudges, but he would not be easily angered by a few words.

He was more concerned about the imperial guard beside Qin Jiang.

Su Cheng took out the dagger that his daughter had asked Su Qi to give him and played with it in his hand before putting it back into the scabbard at his waist.

He planned to get up and leave.

At this moment, a white figure flashed past not far away at an extremely fast speed.

Su Cheng turned his head sharply and saw a white tail burrowing into the grass.

It was the white-tailed fox!

To be honest, this white-tailed fox did not match its name at all. It was clearly white all over, and there was a hint of red on the tip of its tail.

Su Cheng felt that it should be called White Fox or Red-tailed Fox.

This was his mission today. If he took it down, he would be able to defeat Qin Jiang.

He swiftly mounted his horse.

Qin Jiang had also discovered the prey. He hurriedly got on his horse and chased after the white-tailed fox.

Qin Jiang was experienced in hunting. He was confident that he could take down the White-tailed Fox before Su Cheng did.

However, he did not expect that Su Cheng’s horse would suddenly charge at his horse!

His horse was frightened. It raised its front hooves and turned to the side!

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth and pulled the reins.

Although he managed to stop it in time, Su Cheng managed to shake him off because of the delay.

Qin Jiang watched with killing intent as Su Cheng rode away.

If he was not mistaken, that horse just now… was Qin Canglan’s mount!

Qin Canglan!

He had been his son for twenty vears, but he had never ridden his mount!

Su Cheng had only been back for a month and Qin Canglan had already given his mount to him!

Why?

They were both sons of Qin Canglan, but why was Qin Canglan so biased!

He hated it!

Not only did he hate Su Cheng, but he also hated Qin Canglan to the core!

He hated Qin Canglan even more!

He wanted to obtain military power and ruthlessly trample Su Cheng under his feet. He wanted Qin Canglan to widen his eyes and see what would happen to the son he was biased toward…

He would not let any of them have an easy time!

Qin Jiang, who was burning with anger, spurred his horse and chased after Su Cheng.

So what if he had Qin Canglan’s mount? Su Cheng’s riding skills were not as good as his, and his familiarity with the terrain was not as good as his…

The imperial guard behind him looked coldly at Qin Jiang and Su Cheng, who had entered the depths of the forest. He mounted his horses expressionlessly.

“Look! There are hoof prints here.”

Su Qi pointed at a wet patch of soil under the tree and said, “Why do the footprints seem to have parted ways? They’re heading south and southeast.

Which one is Uncle’s?”

Su Cheng was the uncle of the brothers, but the brothers all said that word at the same time.

“Southeast.” Su Xiaoxiao.

“How do you know?” Su Qi was puzzled.

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the hoof prints on the ground, “There are some with the deepest hoof prints here.”

Su Qi suddenly understood. “Ah, I understand. Uncle is riding Granduncle’s horse today. That horse is stronger than ordinary horses, and the hoof prints are the deepest.”

This little cousin was very observant.

Su Qi said, “From the hoof prints, the two teams have separated. Uncle is safe for the time being.”

Su Xiaoxiao pondered, “No, it would be disadvantageous if they split up.”

When the four of them were together, it was inconvenient for the archer to attack. However, if they separated, he would first kill Qin Jiang, then kill Su Cheng and another companion…

Perhaps the worst possibility was that the two imperial guards were in cahoots.

In that case, Su Cheng would really be unable to defeat four people with two punches.

An expert who could escape from Su MO was not someone Su Cheng, who had only learned martial arts for a month, could deal with.

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s analysis, Su Qi felt a chill run down his spine. After all, the imperial guards were under the First Prince’s jurisdiction. If he could plant a trusted aide, he could naturally plant a second one.

Previously, Su Qi had hoped that Qin Jiang would die. Now, he hoped that Qin Jiang could live and at least help his uncle bear some damage. Otherwise, it would be too disadvantageous for his uncle to fight two against one!

He frowned and said, “Let’s go! Hurry up and chase after them!”

On the other side, Su Cheng caught up with the White-tailed Fox. However, the White-tailed Fox was abnormally cunning. Su Cheng almost caught it a few times, but it escaped from his hands.

Qin Jiang was actually not far away. He could hear the movements of Su Cheng and another imperial guard.

Qin Jiang felt that the imperial guard behind him was getting further and further away. He turned around and said, “If you can’t keep up, don’t follow! I’ll meet you here later!”

The other party subconsciously reached for his waist. “Got it.”

Qin Jiang turned around.

Was it an illusion?

That person just now… was holding a bow?

Qin Jiang rode his horse a few steps and looked back suspiciously. Who knew that the imperial guard was no longer on the horse?

Qin Jiang’s heart skipped a beat.

In the next second, a shadow enveloped him.

He looked up, and the imperial guard appeared on the branch above him.

When did the other party use his Light-body Technique? He actually did not notice it at all!

Wait, that wasn’t the point. The point was why the other party—

The imperial guard held his sword and stabbed at the Baihui acupoint above Qin Jiang’s head!

Qin Jiang rolled and fell from his horse.

The imperial guard’s sword stabbed Qin Jiang’s mount, and it let out a painful roar.

Su Cheng frowned strangely.

What happened?

Why did he hear… a horse’s scream?

Qin Jiang knew that Su Cheng was not far away. After falling to the ground, he immediately wanted to call out to Su Cheng, but the other party was too fast and kicked his mute acupoint!

“Aiya! The prey has escaped!”

The moment Su Cheng was distracted, the little thing crawled into the grass again.

Should he chase after his prey or go to Qin Jiang’s position to take a look?

Did something happen to that guy?

Would he be blamed if something happened?

Su Cheng did not care if Qin Jiang lived or died, but he could not let Qin Jiang’s death affect his results.

Su Cheng was usually noisy and carefree. When it came to serious matters, he had his own judgment.

He thought about it and decided to check on Qin Jiang first.

Just as he tightened the reins and turned around, the imperial guard beside him moved.

The imperial guard silently followed behind Su Cheng, his large hand silently reaching for the dagger at his waist.

“You…” Su Cheng turned around.

The imperial guard shot out flying daggers at Su Cheng!

Su Cheng’s eyebrows twitched!

However, the flying dagger did not hit Su Cheng. Instead, it flew past Su Cheng’s head and shot straight at the other imperial guard who was slashing at Su Cheng with his sword!

Clang!

The other party blocked the flying dagger with his long sword, but because of this, he missed the best opportunity to assassinate Su Cheng.

“Gosh!” Su Cheng’s body shook. He also realized that he had almost been killed.

He hurriedly spurred his horse a few steps forward and pulled out the large saber on his saddle.

The imperial guard that had assassinated Su Cheng flipped a few times in the air and landed steadily on the ground in front of the two of them.

Su Cheng looked at him and then at the imperial guard beside him. This guy had saved him just now.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

The imperial guard beside him said indifferently, “Leave first and chase after your prey. Leave this to me. Don’t worry…” Su Cheng rode off on his horse!

A certain imperial guard was dumbfounded.

A guard’s face was ashen as he finished his sentence. ‘ …about me.”

The other imperial guard watched as Su Cheng left. His face sank as he looked at his companion. “You’re not Imperial Bodyguard Cheng. Who are you?”

A certain someone sneered and raised the corners of his lips. He adjusted the human skin mask on his face, pulled out his long sword, turned around, and tossed his head. He said arrogantly…

“You mortals are not worthy of asking for the name of God!”

The guard was rendered speechless.

Was this person seriously ill?
