Chapter 515 - 515 They changed after meeting you

515 They changed after meeting you

Shi Qingluo did not expect their luck to be so good.

Her original plan was to avoid the third prince, that was why they had returned to Heyang County.

“Who are the people who are hunting him down?” she asked.

“They’re from the Ge Kingdom,” the man in black replied.

!!

“Are there a lot of people?” Shi Qingluo asked again. “If we were to fight, would we be able to help him get out of this?”

When she encountered a situation where she had the ability, she naturally would not ignore it.

The third prince was the governor of the northern border controlling several parties.

He had done a good job and was very useful. He couldn’t die like this.

“If we dispatch the hidden guards, there should be no problem,” the man in black replied.

“Although the third prince is on the run again, the number of people protecting him hasn’t been greatly reduced.

“Based on our investigation, the Ge Kingdom didn’t intend to kill them. It seems that they’re only trying to drive the third prince to the small town where my royal highness is.”

These were the elite dragon guards trained during the late emperor’s reign. Not only were they skilled, but they were also skilled in many things.

Hearing this, Shi Qingluo came to a decision. “Let’s wait here. You guys prepare for an ambush. We still have to save the third prince.”

The man in black did not refute. “Yes!”

Before they came, their master had instructed them to listen to the princess’s arrangements, so they naturally had to do as she said.

Hence, Shi Qingluo led her mother-in-law and sister-in-law down the carriage and followed the guards into the nearby forest to hide.

Prince Yi had also sent the best of the best to protect them.

Shi Qingluo and the others also brought a lot of bows and crossbows along and were ready for an ambush.

After about an hour, the sound of horse hooves came from the front.

Shi Qingluo was also holding a longbow in her hand.

She hid behind a large tree and tilted his head to look ahead.

Soon, they saw the armored third prince and his men, followed by a group of horses.

It was obvious that they were from the Ge Kingdom.

The leader of the hidden guards in black shot an arrow first, and one of the Ge men in the lead fell off his horse.

“There’s an ambush!” Those from the Ge kingdom exclaimed.

What greeted them was a flurry of arrows.

Shi Qingluo also shot an arrow, but it was aimed at the person, one of ‘her’ people, who was about to attack the third prince.

“Be careful, governor!”

The other person beside the third prince also saw it, but he couldn’t stop it in time and could only shout.

The third prince turned around and saw one of his trusted aides raising a knife and slashing at him.

Because this was too sudden, that knife was almost at his neck before he could even react.

The third prince was shocked.

He wanted to instinctively raise his blade to block it, but it was too late.

Just as he thought he was going to die, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced through that man’s shoulder.

“Ah!” The man was shot by the arrow, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground from the pain.

He instinctively covered his injured hand with his other hand.

It was also at this time that this man was knocked off his horse and captured alive by the third prince’s followers.

The third prince immediately looked towards the forest and saw a beautiful woman in a dress holding a bow and arrow.

He also recognized it at once and was extremely surprised. “Shi Qingluo!”

As they weren’t very close, he couldn’t hear Shi Qingluo’s words. She pointed behind her.

The third prince quickly understood what she meant, so he led his men to draw their swords and fight back against the Ge Kingdom’s pursuers.

Together with the guards and secret guards that Shi Qingluo had brought along, and another wave of sneak attacks, they quickly annihilated the elite troops from the Ge Kingdom.

The Ge people did not expect an ambush here.

Then, they saw Shi Qingluo. A few of their eyes lit up. “Capture her! Go and capture Shi Qingluo!”

If they could capture Shi Qingluo, it would be more meritorious than killing the third prince.

Then, they rode their horses toward Shi Qingluo.

When Shi Qingluo saw this, she turned on a switch on her sword.

Soon, the long sword retracted and was replaced by a sharp weapon with a reverse hook.

This was a weapon that Xiao Hanzheng had specially asked someone to make for her, and it could be used to deal with cavalry.

Xiao Baili also took out a whip from her waist.

When the horses arrived, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili attacked at the same time.

One of them used a modified hook to hook the horse’s legs, while the other used a whip to bind the horse’s legs.

Soon, the Ge people’s horses fell to the ground.

These people were all shocked.

They didn’t expect two weak women to be able to do this.

After they got off their horses, they bore with the pain and charged at Shi Qingluo with their knives.

They only had one goal, and that was to capture her and use her as a hostage to make a contribution when they returned.

Shi Qingluo laughed coldly.

Then, she flicked a switch and changed her sword back.

She came forward to meet the attackers.

Xiao Baili wasn’t afraid.

She swung her whip and stood behind her sister-in-law to protect her.

A few of the hidden guards protecting the two of them had also arrived.

The third prince was shocked.

He knew how important Shi Qingluo was to Daliang country. “Quick, come with me to save Princess Fubao.”

He brought his men and rushed over.

However, before they could do so, they saw Shi Qingluo deftly defeat the few people who had surrounded her.

The little girl she brought with her also used her whip to help, waving away the two people who were about to launch a sneak attack.

The two weak-looking women used their agile movements and techniques to knock down the burly Ge men.

The third prince was taken aback.

He had not expected Shi Qingluo to be so powerful.

Even the Ge people who had been stabbed and lying on the ground did not expect Shi Qingluo to not only know martial arts, but also be powerful.

No wonder she was able to pull the bow to save the third prince.

Shi Qingluo saw the third prince, who was riding over, staring at her in a daze and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tie them up!”

The third prince immediately came back to his senses. “Alright!”

Then, he ordered his people to tie up the Ge people with ropes.

He dismounted from his horse and cupped his fists at Shi Qingluo. “Thank you princess, for saving my life!”

If not for Shi Qingluo’s arrow, he would have been in real danger.

That person was a trusted aide he had brought from the capital, so he had never thought that he would attack him.

Shi Qingluo laughed. “I just happened to run into you, so I naturally had to help.”

“How did you get chased here by the Ge people?” she asked.

“I was going to meet up with my uncle,” the third prince replied, “but we were ambushed by the Ge people.

“The man you shot just now suggested that we break out of the ambush and meet up with my imperial uncle.

“Who knew that I would meet you here, and then he would try to kill me.”

“They probably had some sort of plan before, but they changed it after meeting you,” he continued.

He felt that his trusted aide wanted them to hurry to where his imperial uncle was and then do something.

After discovering Shi Qingluo, that man and the Ge people changed their plans.

They clearly felt that capturing Shi Qingluo was more important than their original plan.

It was also because of this that his trusted aide had attacked him.

As long as he was dead or seriously injured, their people would be in chaos and the Ge elites who were chasing after them would make use of this opportunity to kill them.

Then, these people could turn their attention to Shi Qingluo and capture her alive.
