Chapter 348 Why Does She Do That?

After determining the next course of action, the three little ones began to make the next plan.

The situation they are in now is quite chaotic, and there are small groups around them that have begun to form a group. They can be said to be the only ones left alone.

But because of Li Xuan's living radar, they will not accidentally run into other people.

In fact, they can easily escape from the gaps in these groups.

But now that they have decided to implement Princess Ankang's "Fisherman Plan", there is naturally no need to leave here.

On the contrary, they have to wander among them, let these groups conflict and consume each other.

But there is a very important point in this, which will determine the final victory or defeat.

"Sequence!"

Princess Ankang said.

"The order in which we lure them to encounter each other is very important."

"The situation is too chaotic, they will stay put and are unwilling to take risks easily."

"But if the order is wrong, it will make wedding clothes for others."

Princess Ankang had a stern face, pinched her chin, and pretended to think seriously.

Seeing that Princess Ankang was thinking seriously about the strategy, Li Xuan did not urge her, and led the way slowly in front with satisfaction.

Princess Ankang was right. According to what he had noticed, the nearby groups were becoming more and more cautious.

As time went on, the distance between these groups was gradually decreasing, as if they were attracting each other.

Li Xuan could detect that within a radius of five miles, there were three other forces besides them.

This included the group of seven or eight people, which Li Xuan considered the biggest threat.

Li Xuan has been following this group, keeping them within his range of perception.

Such a threat is still under his nose, which makes him feel more at ease.

This also avoids some unexpected situations.

Considering the riding speed of Princess Ankang and Yu'er, they are likely to encounter a situation where they cannot escape from the pursuers.

Therefore, Li Xuan hid directly behind the largest group, thinking that if he found any accident, he would take advantage of this biggest threat.

And Princess Ankang's plan goes one step further, intending to turn this biggest threat into a sharp blade in her own hand.

But if they operate improperly, they will be the ones injured by the sharp blade.

"Axuan, we need to use the strongest group to eliminate the others, and then make them suffer losses."

Princess Ankang said after thinking for a long time.

Using the knife while blunting it, Li Xuan immediately understood what Princess Ankang meant.

"Axuan, sister Yu'er."

"We are like this..."

Princess Ankang told her plan, and Li Xuan and Yu'er nodded repeatedly.

…

"Third brother, do you want to continue chasing?"

Ninth Emperor's daughter Li Lanruo asked worriedly.

The third prince squatting on the ground did not answer immediately, but continued to carefully explore the horse hoof marks on the ground.

After a while, the third prince stood up from the ground and patted the dirt on his hands, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed.

"There are nineteen riders in total, how come there is still one lone rider?"

Hearing this number, the Ninth Princess' eyes widened immediately.

"Nineteen people!?"

"Third brother, even if we join forces, I'm afraid we can't defeat them, right?"

"Could it be the eldest brother and his group?"

The Third Prince shook his head and said directly:

"I don't know."

"But it's hard to say that it's Li Xian and his group."

"The three brothers and sisters can be tied together, but Li Xian doesn't have the ability to gather other people."

"Besides, so many people walking together are not necessarily voluntary."

The Third Prince changed his previous reckless image in the Imperial Garden and analyzed it seriously.

It seems that many years of military camp experience have also cultivated his rough but delicate style.

"Anyway, so many people are indeed a threat."

Hearing what the Third Prince said, the Ninth Princess couldn't help asking:

"Then Third Brother, should we turn around now?"

"Turn around? Where to turn around?" The Third Prince asked with a smile.

"There are so many people ahead, we can't rush to see them off, right?"

The Ninth Princess's idea made sense.

The Ninth Princess had been training in the army with the Third Prince for half a year and had learned a lot.

They were obviously no match for the enemy in front of them, so they naturally had to conserve their strength and look for opportunities later.

But it was obvious that the Third Prince didn't think so.

"No, no, no, if we give them a few more days, our chances of winning will be even lower."

The Third Prince looked at the front where the horseshoe marks extended, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Let's follow them and find an opportunity to disintegrate them, at least we can't let them continue to gather like this."

"We can't fight head-on, can't we deal with these 'nobles' who have never been on the battlefield and only know how to talk about war on paper by conducting night raids and harassment?"

The Third Prince's tone fell heavily on the word "noble", and his tone was full of disdain.

Seeing the Third Prince so heroic, the Ninth Princess also gained a lot of confidence.

"Okay, I'll listen to you no matter what I do."

"Let's deal with these little kids!"

The Ninth Princess was worried before, but now she was excited by the Third Prince.

Seeing the Ninth Princess' mood change so quickly, the Third Prince just shook his head and smiled, walked to his mount, and climbed on it.

"You, after this competition, you'd better keep some distance from me."

The Third Prince warned.

"Why, Third Brother, do you think I'm a burden to you?"

The Ninth Princess asked dissatisfiedly.

"It's Third Brother who's going to burden you."

"After all, your mother is a civil servant. If you get too close to me, be careful that you will be sent to marry one day, and your dream of being a female knight will also be over."

After the third prince finished speaking, he shook the reins and urged the horse forward.

"They dare!"

The ninth princess said with a glare, and then hurriedly rode to follow.

The two attendants kept silent, suppressed their presence to the minimum, and followed them silently.

"Whether you dare or not is not up to you."

"We were born in the royal family, and many things are beyond our control."

The third prince warned his simple sister.

Although they were not born from the same mother, they often played together because they liked to wield swords and guns since they were young.

Sometimes it is like this, the more adults forbid, the more children yearn for it.

When they were young, it was not easy for the third prince and the ninth princess to play together, but this made them accumulate a deeper brother-sister relationship.

Especially in the past two years, the Ninth Princess was always scolded by her mother and was not allowed to get too close to the Third Prince.

But the result was that the brother and sister stayed in the military camp together for half a year.

Although they all had the same father, their mothers were different.

And different mothers destined their backgrounds to have different colors.

Even colors that were opposed to each other.

After listening to the Third Prince's admonition, the Ninth Princess whispered:

"Third brother, don't you just make your own decisions and be your own master?"

The Third Prince looked at the Ninth Princess in astonishment when he heard this.

But looking at his sister's clear eyes, he couldn't help but laugh and didn't say much.

There was only a hint of helplessness in his eyes that only he understood.

But at this moment, the Third Prince's face suddenly changed and he raised his hand suddenly.

The four men and four riders immediately stopped their horses and cooperated tacitly.

And the next moment, a black horse ran out from the opposite side and ran straight towards them.

But strangely, there was no one on the horse.

Everyone on the Third Prince's side immediately drew their bows and arrows, aiming steadily at the black horse coming towards them.

And the black horse seemed to have sensed something, and immediately turned around and ran to the other side.

After the Third Prince found out, he immediately increased the speed of the horse. When the black horse just turned around and had not yet increased its speed, he caught up from behind and grabbed the reins on the saddle.

"Third brother, what's going on?"

Seeing that the Third Prince had controlled the black horse, the Ninth Princess hurried to catch up to see the situation.

The third prince looked at the black horse in front of him and felt that it looked familiar.

When he saw the gauze wrapped around the horse's neck, he immediately remembered it.

"This is the horse I shot a few days ago, but I have already eliminated its owner."

"It was a little girl who cried a lot."

The third prince recalled.

"I mean the girl Hua Xue."

The Ninth Princess immediately said.

It seems that this is the most outstanding one among the royal descendants of this generation.

"After being eliminated, I remember that the horses and supplies were taken back by the eunuchs in flowery clothes. Why is this horse still running around here?"

"Besides, someone has treated the horse's injuries."

The Third Prince raised his hand and immediately ordered:

"Be alert all around!"

The Third Prince did not choose to act rashly, but wanted to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.

On the branches in the distance, Li Xuan secretly watched this scene and couldn't help feeling a little regretful:

"This guy is careful."

That's right, Dahei was rushed over by Li Xuan in order to alert the snake.

But unexpectedly, the snake was alert on the spot and did not react as expected.

Because at this moment, whether in front of or behind the Third Prince, there are surprises waiting for him.

At first, Li Xuan didn't know that this was the Third Prince and the Ninth Princess.

Although he could sense the movements nearby, he was not a God's perspective. He could only roughly judge how many people were in which direction.

It was not until he got closer that he realized that this was the Third Prince and the Ninth Princess.

To be honest, this surprised Li Xuan.

He thought that the group with the most people was created by the Third Prince, after all, this guy was very pretentious before the competition.

Li Xuan thought that the biggest trouble was caused by this ruthless guy, but now it seems that Li Xuan guessed wrong.

"Could it be that the eldest prince's three siblings are over there?"

Li Xuan looked back at the direction he came from.

The answer was about to be revealed, because a large number of people were also on their way.

"I hope the two girls will be fine."

This was the first time that Li Xuan let the two girls go out to act on their own, so he was inevitably a little worried.

If there was any accident on the road, Li Xuan would be too late to help them.

The third prince and others were on guard for a while, and when they found that there was no movement, they drove Dahei to another direction, and then planned to leave here first.

After Dahei was driven away, he immediately turned his horse's head and followed the direction where the third prince and others left, with a strong intention of not leaving.

This guy looked back from time to time, trying to find Li Xuan's trace, but there was no way he could find it.

And Li Xuan followed them from a distance. If they deviated from the predetermined route, Li Xuan would be responsible for delaying them for a while.

The task on his side was a bit difficult, so he had to do it.

But not long after the Third Prince and his companions ran out, Li Xuan turned back and looked in the direction they came from. He had heard the noise.

"It seems that I don't need to go out."

Li Xuan followed the Third Prince and his companions leisurely, waiting for the show to begin.

After a while, the Third Prince suddenly turned back and said:

"Two riders are rushing towards us, and their speed is not slow."

After that, the Third Prince decisively ordered:

"Hide, set an ambush!"

If there were two people, they could easily eat it together, and it would only take a moment.

The third prince did not intend to give up this opportunity.

Even if it was a bait, he was confident that he could get away by swallowing the bait before the other party could react.

The four men rode on horses, each hiding behind a thick tree trunk, drawing their bows and arrows, and looking at the direction where the noise came from behind them.

"Hmph, let you guys who only know how to squat in the palace see the art of the battlefield."

The third prince smiled coldly, intending to let the people behind him see what it means to be as fast as the wind and as aggressive as fire.

Soon, two figures slowly appeared in the forest, getting closer and closer to the ambush circle.

The third prince drew his bow and arrow in the dark, and quickly aimed at the target.

At this time, he had already seen the prey that was about to get into the trap.

"Hmph, it turned out to be you."

But at this moment, a loud cat cry suddenly came, resounding through the dense forest.

"Meow--"

The two riders who were originally locked by the third prince suddenly separated and went to the densely wooded area.

Whoosh——

A fire arrow streaked a scarlet stream of light in the air, but it narrowly missed its target.

The royal heirs would naturally not shoot directly at each other’s people.

The third prince’s target was the white horse under the opponent’s crotch, but he was distracted by the strange cry and avoided the target in advance, so he had to shoot in advance.

But even if the third prince made a temporary adjustment, his accuracy was still frightening, and even Li Xuan couldn’t help but be shocked.

"This kid, at such a young age, has such archery skills."

But then, after the third prince shot an arrow that missed, he actually stood up from his hiding place and shouted urgently:

"Retreat!"

The other three people didn't understand the order, but they immediately followed the third prince.

The ninth princess followed from behind and asked puzzledly:

"Third brother, why retreat?"

"Ankang is on the opposite side, aren't we going to eat them?"

"Ankang is not much better than a little bean. I'm surprised that she can ride a horse."

The third prince turned around and glared at the ninth princess, then asked:

"In that case, why is Ankang still approaching us?"

After being asked by the third prince, the ninth princess looked back and found that although Princess Ankang and Yu'er were on both sides, hiding in the woods, they were actually moving in the same direction as them.

The Ninth Princess's face suddenly showed a puzzled and even absurd expression, and she stammered:

"Ankang, she..."

The Third Prince immediately asserted:

"Now it's not a question of us eating Ankang, but she wants to eat us!"

"Why does she do that?" The Ninth Princess blurted out.

The next moment, the sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded from behind them, accompanied by a burst of ghostly screams:

"Wow wow wow~"

“Go ahead, don’t let any of them escape!”
