On the road, shortly after Hu Yicheng and others left the pavilion after taking a rest, an arrow was shot from the nearby jungle.
This arrow came suddenly, startling everyone. Fortunately, they had just had a conflict with Ouyang Ming and others, so they were still somewhat vigilant, so the knight flashed and managed to avoid it.
However, this arrow also aroused everyone's anger. Several knights jumped off their horses, took off their shields from their horses, and quickly approached the jungle. Their movements were neat and orderly, clearly showing years of training.
It is impossible for ordinary people to be so calm in the face of danger, and only soldiers who have been on the battlefield can have such a temperament.
However, when they braved the danger of arrows and entered the jungle, they could only see a disappearing figure. The man suddenly looked back in the distance and made a contemptuous gesture towards them.
Several knights were furious and were about to catch up desperately, but the leading knight frowned and said: "Yu Lin Mo Ru, let's go back!"
He has extremely high prestige among everyone. Once he speaks, no one dares to question or object.
Hurrying back to the carriage, the leading knight said solemnly: "Sir, we are in trouble."
Hu Yicheng said calmly: "What?"
"Among the people we originally expelled from the pavilion, there were a few daring ones. They hid in the roads on both sides to ambush us."
"Oh? How audacious!" Hu Yicheng snorted angrily, with a hint of anger on his face.
He never thought about whether what he and others did in the pavilion had offended the public, because in his heart, people had already been divided into levels, and he never cared about the thoughts of those lower down.
"Ling Feng, did those people come out of anger, or did they have a plan?" Xu Wenshi asked in a deep voice.
This knight leader is a descendant of Hu Yicheng's family, so he is naturally loyal to him. However, after hearing Xu Wenshi's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Xu, my nephew is not sure. However, they seem to just want to vent their anger and have no intention of killing."
Although the arrow was fierce, its target was not fatal.
Hu Yicheng hummed and said: "Brother Xu, it's just some petty thieves who blocked the road out of anger. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely urge the government to catch them all."
Xu Wenshi shook his hand slightly and said: "If it is just because you are not angry about blocking the road, you don't need to get angry because of it. But..." He frowned slightly, showing a trace of solemnity, and said: "I just feel that this This thing is not simple.”
Hu Yicheng was slightly startled and said, "Brother Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Wenshi thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's move on. If they still linger, it will be a bit troublesome."
Hu Lingfeng glanced at his clan uncle, then took the order and left. Although Xu Wenshi was not from the Hu family, he was very knowledgeable, and Hu Yicheng obeyed him, so he did not resist.
The convoy continued to drive, but soon, various arrows continued to be shot from the jungles on both sides. Although it would not make it difficult for them to move forward, it was undoubtedly a dream to travel quickly.
Many knights naturally refused to give up, but whenever they rushed into the forest, they could not see any trace of the enemy. Although this tactic of shooting an arrow and running away is simple, it is extremely practical. The convoy seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to continue on its way.
Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi had already left the carriage. They looked at each other and felt a chill rising from their hearts.
Naturally, this kind of delaying technique cannot be hidden from them. If they still believe that the other party is blocking it because of previous conflicts, it is too underestimated their IQ. However, what puzzled them was who would go to such great lengths to intercept him halfway.
After being harassed by arrows again, Hu Yicheng glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Ling Feng, find a place to camp." He lowered his voice and said: "When the sky gets dark, you quietly send people to nearby cities to ask for help. ”
"Yes, sir." Hu Lingfeng also whispered.
Their convoy has more than 20 strong men in the army, who are at least strong in strength and cultivation. Even compared with the personal guards of the generals, they are not inferior.
A few little thieves were originally not in their eyes. However, after a sneak attack from the enemy, they also became worried. Because everyone knows that something major will happen tonight.
As night fell, Hu Lingfeng decisively gave up driving and instead ordered the barracks to be set up.
The tents were taken down from several carts. Hu Yicheng had prepared enough supplies for this trip, and he would not be short-changed even if he was camping out.
However, the solemn atmosphere in the motorcade is getting heavier and heavier.
The knights dismounted, and while building the camp, two knights disappeared one after another under the cover of everyone.
However, even Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi were not absolutely sure whether they could successfully recruit reinforcements.
As the night grew darker, a blazing bonfire was lit in the camp. The camp is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. All the people resting are fully armed. Even if there is a slight change, they can respond immediately and quickly.
In the jungle, the dwarf quietly looked at the bonfire on the road, his eyes flashing with a fierce and solemn look.
"Where are the two guys who communicated with each other? Have they been caught?"
"Brother, don't worry, we have already arranged manpower to intercept them to ensure that they cannot escape!"
"Okay." The dwarf nodded heavily, waved his hand and said, "Let's take action, no one will be spared!"
When he said this, he actually felt a sense of relief.
After all, the person they want to attack this time is the official in charge of the imperial court. Once they do this, even for the sake of face, the imperial court will never let him go easily. If possible, he would never get involved.
However, when he thought of those terrifying eyes filled with the aura of death, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he completely threw away any trace of luck.
After doing this, there may be the possibility of traveling far away. But if he didn't do it, he wouldn't even have the possibility to escape.
As soon as his mind changed, he immediately put aside all worries, flashed his figure, and walked towards the bonfire with everyone.
"Swish swish..."
Dozens of arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness and flew towards the camp.
However, Hu Yicheng and others were well prepared. They raised their shields one after another or used carts to block them. This round of arrow rain could not bring them any substantial harm except for making them sure that there was a sneak attack.
"kill-"
A fierce roar sounded, and several strong men rushed to the outside of the camp.
At this moment, several torches were suddenly thrown out of the camp, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight. Then, sharp arrows were shot out from the inner circle, immediately knocking several strong men to the ground.
The defensive circle created by Hu Yicheng and others was very strong. Although time was tight, it did not leave any obvious flaws.
The injured man lay on the ground and howled in pain, which immediately made many strong men feel chilly. They are not lions who have fought a hundred battles. They can fight with favorable winds, but once they encounter adversity, they immediately hesitate to move forward.
However, at this moment, a short figure suddenly appeared in the firelight.
He held a large knife that was longer than his height and walked towards the bonfire step by step.
Hu Yicheng's face changed slightly and he said sternly: "Shoot!"
If such an obvious target appears on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly receive concentrated fire attacks.
The next moment, at least seven or eight arrows were shot out.
The short figure kept walking, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword on his shoulder suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.
All the arrows shot at him were immediately shattered by the light of the sword and turned into debris on the ground.
"A strong Yangpin!" Xu Wenshi gasped, sweat stains oozing out from his vest.
They expected that there would be an ambush, but they never thought that there would be a powerful Yang-level person involved. This is a Yang-grade strong man. How can a few of them be worthy of such a strong man
Everyone looked at each other and saw the look of despair in each other's eyes.
The dwarf sneered and continued to move forward step by step. He wanted to rush into the camp with absolute strength and make these people feel frightened, so that his men could catch them all.
"Whoosh..."
Another arrow was shot. However, when this arrow was shot, everyone's faces showed a strange look.
This arrow was not shot from the campfire circle, but from behind the dwarf.
Even the dwarf himself felt unbelievable at this moment. He shouted softly, and the sword in his hand flashed again, like a thunderbolt, striking the arrow hard.
Then, there was a loud explosion, and the arrow exploded and turned into countless steel fragments, continuing to fly towards the dwarf.
The dwarf's expression changed drastically. He swung his sword without thinking, only to hear a violent sound of gold and iron clashing. He tried his best to block most of the fragments.
However, there were still two pieces of iron sheet flying past his body, leaving two blood marks on his body.
Everyone's scalp was numb. What kind of weapon was this? It could actually hurt a strong Yang-level man. If they get along in different places, wouldn't they be doomed
"Swish swish..."
The next moment, several arrows were shot out in succession. The power of these arrows was not very great, but the dwarf no longer dared to resist.
His body flashed, and he let out a fierce roar from his mouth. He tried his best to avoid the attack of arrows and ran towards the darkness, not even caring about the bonfire tent behind him.
Because he knows better than anyone else that if this hidden incident is not resolved, he may not have any chance to complete the ambush.
Inside the camp, Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi looked at each other, feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.
"ah-"
The screams continued to sound from everywhere. Although no one was seen in the dark night, the screams were enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Xu Wenshi asked in a deep voice: "What should I do?"
Hu Yicheng gritted his teeth and said: "Kill out!"
The two jumped up and rushed out with the knights.
