The hidden place is a sea of fire.
Looking at the scene before them, except for the three little girls who caused the accident, the faces of the others all turned ashen.
Jing Ming and Wang Chong carefully checked Zhu Li's body to see if he was injured. At the same time, they kept looking back at Wen Lan, Yang Guang and Qing Ruo. The expressions of shock, anger and disgust on their faces made the three little girls silent as soon as they saw them.
Fortunately, the two ghost guard commanders, although looking unfriendly, did not say anything harsh.
Of course, they were not giving face to the other party, but it was inconvenient to scold them; although Qingruo, Wenlan and Yangguang were still young, they had strong backing.
Qing Ruo was Zhu Li's direct subordinate, while Wen Lan and Yang Guang were Yuchi Jin's guards. As for the three of them, Jing Ming and Wang Chong could only be angry but could not say much.
Facing everyone's gazes, especially the disdainful looks of the two ghost guard leaders, the three little girls hung their heads, fiddled with the corners of their clothes, and remained silent.
Looking at them, accepting being beaten and scolded, they are so lovable.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in complaining. Let's think about our next steps." Two of the three culprits were brought up by Qian Muran. Her expression was naturally unhappy as her subordinates were being exposed, so she quickly changed the subject.
"The fire here is raging. It will definitely attract attention. We can't stay here any longer." Upon hearing this, Wang Chong turned his gaze away from the three little girls and agreed with a serious face.
"We have to evacuate this place immediately and find a place to hide. We should wait for the people who go out to get information to come back and listen to the situation outside before making a decision." Jing Ming also knew that even if Qing Ruo, Wen Lan and Yang Guang were hung up and beaten up, it would not solve the problem. It was more important to clean up the mess in front of them.
Therefore, he immediately shifted his attention and made a suggestion.
His suggestion was very pertinent. Apart from this, no one had any better idea, so they immediately carried the wounded on their backs and found a place to hide.
In the afternoon, the ghost guards who went out to spy came back to report that the second general Zhu Ye and General Geng?m had led their troops to attack Shangjing, and were now confronting Puguzhi and Yelu Xiadi in the central grassland.
Upon hearing this, Jing Ming, Wang Chong, Qian Muran and others were immediately overjoyed. Zhu Ya and Geng Yan had finally arrived.
As long as all the seriously injured soldiers, including Zhu Li, Yi Jiangnan, Li Gufeng, and Meng Taiji, are sent to the army, their safety will be guaranteed.
After hearing the news, everyone no longer hesitated.
Jing Ming immediately carried Zhu Li on his back, Wang Chong also carried Yi Jiangnan on his back, Guangmao and Xiao Yao carried Li and Meng on their backs respectively, and surrounded by Qian Muran and others, together with several ghost guards, they immediately ran towards the central grassland.
With his spirits lifted, he ran so fast that even his steps seemed to be much lighter. In less than a quarter of an hour, the central grassland of Shangjing was already in sight.
The roar of fighting could be heard faintly; looking ahead, on the battlefield, a Heshuo general who was as wild as a mad tiger and as fierce as a ferocious dragon was swinging his spear. Under the rain of spears, countless Khitan warriors were immediately thrown into the air.
The man was wearing a Ming Guang armor, a helmet covering his head, a neck guard held high, a Tai A sword in one hand and the Overlord Spear in the other. Who else could it be but the Second General Zhu Ya
The countless fierce Heshuo soldiers following Zhu Ya were equally ferocious.
Those elite and fierce soldiers, relying on the advantages of their weapons and armor, not only hacked and killed, but some barbaric ones even jumped out and pounced on the Khitan warriors' horses, hugged them around the waist, and rolled off the horses together, engaging in close combat like wild beasts.
Perhaps, in their opinion, the Khitan warriors mostly wore leather armor, so how could they compare with them who were armed to the teeth.
But in the eyes of Jing Ming, Wang Chong and others, these people have the aura of comrades-in-arms and the smell of brothers.
Seeing those brave men from Heshuo, the group became even more excited, and unknowingly quickened their pace.
But at this moment, a wave of Khitans suddenly rushed out from the side.
The leader was Yelu Shilu.
Those who traveled with them included not only countless Khitan warriors and generals, but also countless Khitan nobles, old and young, women and children.
It turned out that Yelu Shilu could not stay any longer and was about to flee to the capital.
Through the reports from his scouts, this hero knew that, judging from the current situation, Yelu Xiadi, Puguzhi and others were no match for the Heshuo Army that had invaded Shangjing; the first round of crossbow sniping by the Heshuo Army alone had caused the two Khitan rebels to lose most of their troops.
Once the two are defeated, no one in the Khitan capital will be able to resist the ravages of the Heshuo Army. With such a result, if Yelu Shilu does not leave now, is he waiting to become a prisoner of the Han people
What's more, even if the Heshuo Army had not appeared, Yelu Shilu and others would have fled; as Yu Yue of the Diela tribe, Yelu Shilu actually controlled all the armies of the eight Khitan tribes.
After all, the Khitan troops guarding Shangjing only accounted for a small part of all the Khitan troops. As long as he was allowed to escape from Shangjing, he would be able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops to support the king with his prestige and status.
If the plan succeeded, the two thieves Puguzhi and Yelu Xiadi would be nothing but a joke; while the two were being held back by the Heshuo army, Yelu Shilu left without hesitation. As for the herdsmen and ordinary nobles who came to the capital, he had no time to care about them.
Just as Jing Ming and others were rushing to the central grassland, Yelu Shilu and his family, under the protection of Qiu Ku, Muchen, Baiji Dorje and others, left Yuyue Oruduo directly and fled all the way to the outskirts of Shangjing.
One went to the central square, and the other fled outward from the central area, so how could they not meet
Enemies often meet on a narrow road, it has always been the case since ancient times.
The two groups of people met unexpectedly on their way to the central grassland.
"Hahaha, after searching high and low for something, finally I got it without any effort." As soon as Mu Chen, who was following Yelu Shilu, saw Jing Ming and his group, he saw Zhu Ning'er at a glance.
Then, he discovered Zhu Li on Jing Ming's body, as well as Yi Jiangnan and the other two who were injured by Qiu Ku, and immediately laughed out loud.
"Keep your voice down, don't let those big-headed soldiers find out." Mu Chen's arrogant laughter aroused dissatisfaction in the old priest Qiu Skull.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.
Even though this old fellow is a master of the highest level and his martial arts skills are almost at the top of the world, he still doesn't dare to provoke those endless big-headed soldiers.
Even those big soldiers, if they were lined up for him to chop, would tire him to death; although his cultivation was high, he was still a human being after all, and humans would always get tired, it was inevitable.
Mu Chen was laughing wildly regardless of the occasion. If he was discovered by the fighting army and entangled by them, it would be a huge trouble for them.
"They are just a bunch of scum, there's nothing to make a fuss about; hurry up and deal with them, don't delay Yu Yue's important matter." After scolding Mu Chen, the old priest Qiu Skull noticed Zhu Ning'er, Zhu Li and others.
When he saw that the other party was injured very lightly, a trace of disdain flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he gave orders to Muchen and Baiji Dorje.
"Hehe, don't worry, they are just a bunch of little rats crossing the street. I guarantee that I can deal with it cleanly and efficiently." Mu Chen looked at Jing Ming and others with disdain on his face, and assured Qiu Gu very confidently.
As the leader, Yelu Shilu just glanced at Zhu Li and his group quickly and didn't pay much attention to them.
The opponents were small and some were injured; the most difficult one was unconscious, so naturally he would not take it seriously.
He only needed Qiu Gu to arrange people to deal with the other party. He didn't even have the interest to speak. He was only thinking about where he should go first once he escaped from Shangjing, which tribal leaders were the most trustworthy, etc.
When Jing Ming and others saw this group of people, their expressions instantly turned ugly.
Warriors' intuition is usually very sharp. Just looking at the Di priest with a malicious look on his face and laughing wildly gives them an irresistible feeling. How can they be calm in their hearts
As soon as he saw Mu Chen leaping over, Jing Ming immediately handed Zhu Li on his back to Zhu Ning'er, Wen Lan and others. At this moment, Wang Chong also pushed Yi Jiangnan on his back into the sunlight.
This pair of brothers have always been loyal to Zhu Li. As soon as they encountered danger, they immediately drew out their swords with a "clang", and then without saying a word, they rushed towards Mu Chen who was leaping towards them.
"Second brother, you big idiot, come and save me!" As soon as she saw Yelu Shilu and others, and a Khitan priest with a ferocious face rushing towards her and others, Zhu Ning'er immediately shouted loudly towards the battlefield where Zhu Ya was fighting.
The little girl's face flushed red, and her bright eyes showed a mixture of surprise and excitement, which was very complicated.
Just imagine, a little girl of twelve or thirteen was abducted to the prairie, and was finally rescued by her older brother, but her older brother was beaten unconscious by someone else. How helpless and miserable she would feel.
At this moment, seeing her second brother for the first time, how could she hold back from screaming
But her shout immediately attracted the attention of countless Khitans, including Yelu Shilu.
Who is Zhu Ning'er? She is the younger sister of Huaihua General Zhu Li. The person whom she calls second brother must be an important figure in Heshuo. Almost everyone present understands this truth.
"Catch her." Yelu Shilu didn't think twice and immediately jumped towards Mu Chen and Baiji Dorje who were about to get rid of Zhu Li and his group.
Originally, he didn't care about Zhu Li and his group, and he didn't even care much about Zhu Ning'er.
He was on the run now and had no intention of getting involved. He also had no idea who the Heshuo general who led the troops to attack Shangjing was. It was hard to say whether the other party would care about Zhu Ning'er's life or death. So why should he care about Zhu Ning'er
After all, it has been a tradition since ancient times for generals to obey military orders when they are away from the enemy. Once he captures Zhu Ning'er and General Heshuo doesn't listen to him at all, isn't he courting death
However, if the commander of this Heshuo army is Zhu Ning'er's second brother, then it would be a different matter.
As long as Zhu Ning'er was in hand, he might be able to reverse the Khitans' decline in one fell swoop. At worst, he could use her as a threat and retreat easily. At this time, Zhu Ning'er's value in Yelu Shilu's eyes rose again.
Of course he had to capture the other party alive and use this to threaten the general of Heshuo. It was obviously a rare and good move.
Following Yelu Shilu's voice, Baiji Dorje, who had no intention of taking action, immediately moved.
The big monk did not rush towards Jing Ming and Wang Chong, but flew directly in the direction of Zhu Ning'er.
At the moment, although Jing Ming and Wang Chong are not as many as Mu Chen, Mu Chen cannot easily deal with them as they are determined to die.
I saw Jing and Wang rushing towards Mu Chen, with the Seven Killing Swords drawn, attacking without defense.
As fierce as a desperado and as vicious as a madman.
As the saying goes, the arrogant are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate. The two commanders fought desperately. Even though Mu Chen was two realms higher than them, he was not able to take them down immediately when they faced each other.
Amid the flashes of swords and palm shadows, Jing Ming and Wang Chong, the two commanders who had been slightly injured, all had bloodshot eyes and forgot about life and death, all so that the people behind them could take the opportunity to take Zhu Li and rush into the Heshuo army.
However, ideals are full of hope, while reality is often cruel and inhumane.
The gap in realm could not be made up at all. Wenlan, Yangguang and others who caught Zhu Li, Yi Jiangnan and others had no time to take any action. The phantom of an almighty Buddha gathered boundless momentum and smashed towards them like a mountain falling on their heads.
The sea of Buddhism is boundless, and turning back is the shore.
Buddha guides people to be good, but this huge Buddha who fell from heaven is not the kind and compassionate Buddha. It is clearly the monstrous old demon that rushed out from the devil's land, purgatory.
This sound frightened several young ladies and ghost guards so much that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
Life choices are everywhere and are integrated into almost every aspect of life.
Faced with the monstrous demon Buddha that fell from the sky and almost enveloped everyone, Qian Muran was once again on the verge of a life-changing decision.
Last time, she chose to sacrifice herself and abandoned Wenlan and Yangguang, but was saved by the general. This time, even if she sacrificed herself, she might not be able to save everyone. At most, she could only give everyone a chance to breathe.
But even so, Qian Muran still did not hesitate and swung his sword like a dazzling firework.
Life should be like fireworks. Even if it can only bloom once, it must bloom the most splendid picture. Even if it can only prolong the life of everyone for a while, Qian Muran still chose to move forward.
Not for anything else, just because the general had saved her, just because she had a clear conscience. If she lived without regrets, she would have no regrets in death.
