Xu Yanbo secretly looked at Li Hong's expression. When he saw that the prince looked calm and calm, and that he no longer pursued him for joining the personal guard, and even patted himself appreciatively, he put his mind down.
The team of fifty people lurked again. In less than a quarter of an hour, just as Li Hong expected, the footsteps of a group of men in black came quickly from a distance.
The moon emerged from the clouds, and the night in the mountains and forests was stained with a layer of moon-white. Even the stones lying quietly next to them were glowing with moon-white light.
"After the ambush, you must not stay, and retreat immediately according to your plan." Li Hong looked at the large number of men in black, whispered in Xu Yanbo's ear, and then took Bai Chun, who was wearing armor, around The soldiers of the Guards were preparing to go down the mountain in the opposite direction.
Taking advantage of Xu Yanbo's second ambush and the screams echoing in the mountains and forests, Li Hong and Bai Chun began to explore the mountain path and move forward cautiously.
Bai Chun looked back in panic. After confirming that no one was being followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems..."
"Shh, be careful. Since we know how to ambush, they will naturally not give up ambush on the roadside, waiting for some of us to rush out from here." Li Hong covered Bai Chun's body and looked at him warily. Said around.
"who… ?"
Just when Li Hong finished speaking, a black figure emerged from behind a huge stone, holding a crossbow and shouted.
But before he could finish his question, Li Hong, who had always been on alert, had already crossed his long legs and arrived in front of the man in black in the blink of an eye.
One hand with precision and speed grabbed the man in black's cheek, and the dagger in the other hand swiped across the man in black's neck in an instant, and warm blood spurted out.
Li Hong's huge open palm continued to grasp the black man's cheek and pressed it against the boulder. It was not until he felt the man in black's body sliding down involuntarily that he released his grip on the face.
Killing the man in black immediately was not his top priority. Preventing the man in black from seeing his face was what he urgently needed to do.
So after watching Heiyi fall down with his throat squirming, Li Hong looked around again with vigilance. Bai Chun held a swallow-wing crossbow in his hand and quickly ran to Li Hong. The blood splashed on Li Hong's body. The smell made her feel uncomfortable for no reason.
There were not many men in black ambushing on both sides of the mountain path. It was obvious that the men in black still used most of their forces to attack the mountain. The ambush troops left at the foot of the mountain were only used as a precaution to deal with them. In case of the remnant soldiers rushing down from the mountain, there is no need to ambush too many people. It is enough to be able to deal with the scattered remnant soldiers who are defeated in case of the remnant soldiers rushing down from the mountain.
This also provided Li Hong with a comfortable environment. He led Bai Chun along the mountains and sneaked all the way. From time to time, he would encounter a man in black ambushing alone, holding a crossbow and watching the mountain road vigilantly.
"Go up, we've been discovered." Wherever Li Hong could see, he suddenly saw several blurry figures in black rushing towards Li Hong. Li Hong had no choice but to hold the crossbow in his hand. Behind him, he led Bai Chun towards the mountain.
Since he could not unknowingly approach the men in black ambushing on one side, Li Hong had to use a crossbow to shoot at them. However, after three or four men in black were shot to death, the sound of arrows piercing the air could not be heard. They determined the correct location.
As a last resort, Li Hong had no choice but to take Bai Chun and run up the mountain. At this time, the sounds of fighting in the mountains and forests gradually began to sound, one after another in the mountains and forests.
"Shoot your left side with the Yan-wing crossbow in your hand." Li Hong took Bai Chun's hand and said as he shuttled through the mountains.
Bai Chun didn't have time to speak, so he just obeyed Li Hong's orders mechanically, raised his Yan-wing crossbow and fired, but in his haste, he failed to hit the two men in black who were surrounding him.
"Don't be upset, just keep moving forward." Li Hong's calm voice sounded in Bai Chun's ears, which made Bai Chun feel a lot more at ease because he didn't hit the man in black, who seemed a little flustered.
"Keep running forward, and then shoot to the left again." Li Hong let go of Bai Chun's hand, pointed to the denser trees ahead, and said.
"Yes." Bai Chun nodded and watched as Li Hong suddenly dodged and covered his figure with dead grass from behind. He continued to run forward without hesitation, and once again walked toward the two black-clothed men jumping to the left. A man shoots an arrow.
"Hurry up and chase." The man in black snorted coldly, and the arrow flew past his cheek, making him break into a cold sweat, and then angrily yelled at the man in black next to him.
The two men in black looked at Bai Chun's back and sped up to chase after him. When they passed by the withered grass, Li Hong, who had quietly lurked into the withered grass at some point, suddenly stood up and stood in front of the two of them.
The horizontal sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, and a ray of light flashed in the air like lightning. The man in black who was chasing him felt that he suddenly flew up, and looked at the person who had sneaked up on him in horror.
I saw Li Hong pushing away a headless corpse with one hand and holding a knife horizontally in his hand. Before the second man in black had time to make a move, Li Hong stepped in front of him.
The man in black was about to draw his sword, but his wrist was held down by Li Hong. Then he felt a coolness on his neck, and then a burst of heat. A stream of heat flowed rapidly down his neck to his chest, and his whole body became straight. He fell to the ground with a sound.
Li Hong completed the entire ambush in one go. Just after the second man in black fell, the head of the first man in black, which was chopped off by him, fell to the ground with a bang.
After ambushing two people in succession, Li Hong did not leave immediately. The Hengdao was put back into the scabbard again, and he deftly took off the crossbow on his back, crouching down and hiding it again under the cover of withered grass.
In just an instant, the distance between the four men in black who were originally chasing behind them had become closer and closer.
"Buzz..." The bowstring vibrated the air and made a strange sound, causing the withered grass next to it to sway. The arrow stuck to the top of the withered grass, flew out with a sound of breaking through the air, and directly hit the man in black at the front.
The man in black didn't even have time to scream. He just groaned and lay on the ground, clutching his chest.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the other three men in black had no choice but to slow down, roll over immediately, and hide on both sides.
And Li Hong didn't dare to stay too long and was in a stalemate with them here. Bai Chun had now run into the dense forest alone, and he still had to find her.
Silently carrying a crossbow on his back, he bent his waist and looked at the direction of the three men in black with vigilant eyes. He slowly backed away from the withered grass, then changed his direction and detoured into the dense forest.
There are many trees in the dense forest, and there are towering trees everywhere. Since the leaves have almost fallen off, only the bare branches are left. With the bright moon above the sky, there is still a trace of light left in the woods, which does not make it appear dark. ink.
Bai Chun had a crossbow in one hand and a sword in the other. His beautiful eyes were full of nervousness and vigilance. From time to time, he would run two steps forward, then settle down and look behind him anxiously.
"Ah!" Bai Chun suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder. The crossbow and horizontal knife in his hand instantly screamed and stabbed the person behind him.
"It's me, let's go." Li Hong grabbed the crossbow so that she couldn't shoot, then used his elbow to block the slashing knife, pressing Bai Chun's undulating chest, and said calmly.
When Bai Chun saw Li Hong's appearance and that familiar face, he felt relieved. A touch of tenderness appeared on his beautiful cheeks, and he looked at Li Hong and smiled knowingly.
The short separation just now made her feel like her days were like years, as long as several years had passed.
Li Hong once again took Bai Chun's hand and shuttled back and forth between the woods. Then the three men in black behind him, after lying down for a while, saw that there was no movement in front of them, so they began to move forward with courage. Wait and see When they arrived at the place where they had just been ambushed and no one was there, they looked at each other and accelerated into the dense forest.
"There are three more, we must knock them all down, otherwise, if we continue to move forward, they will attract more pursuers." Li Hong was carrying Bai Chunzuan in the dense forest, and heard the news of Bai Chunzuan in his ears. From the rapid breathing, it was obvious that Bai Chun's physical strength was close to the limit at this moment. If he continued running like this, he would not be able to get rid of the three tails behind his butt.
"Yes." Bai Chun gasped and nodded with a red face.
"Protect yourself." Li Hong stopped behind a towering tree and listened to the sounds in the forest.
But now, apart from the occasional footsteps of the pursuers behind him, the sounds of fighting in the distance could no longer be heard.
After running for more than half an hour and almost an hour, before they knew it, they no longer knew where they were at the moment.
In the dense forest, it is impossible to use bows and crossbows for sneak attacks. If you do this, you may only expose your position, so at this moment, it seems that you can only fight one against three.
Li Hong tightened the horizontal knife in his hand, gave Bai Chun a firm look with comforting and encouraging eyes, and signaled Bai Chun to stay behind the tree and not move, and then he started to walk up the road.
The moment Li Hong left, Bai Chun seemed to have lost the whole world at once, and a sense of powerlessness surged up from the bottom of her heart.
Turning half of his body, his beautiful eyes looked at the majestic back, speeding forward through the woods, and he felt a little calmer.
Li Hong's back suddenly stopped. The horizontal knife in his hand was instantly pulled out of its sheath, making a crisp sound in the woods. A man in black came forward in an instant.
The two horizontal knives collided, and the huge force shocked both of them. They both felt a pain in the tiger's mouth. Before the horizontal knives could be recovered and used again, another man in black also attacked him at this time.
I saw Li Hong clenching his fist with his other hand and punching the man in the face. Then he ducked, dodged the horizontal knife coming from behind, and rolled away. The horizontal knife in his hand hit the soft withered leaves. A semicircle was drawn on the ground, and a black-clad foot was chopped off with a horizontal knife.
"ah… ."
The pain in his ankle was so heartbreaking that the man in black let out a scream just as he was standing. He lost balance under his feet and fell to the soft ground.
But before he stabbed Li Hong with the knife in his hand, Li Hong stood up straight and swung the knife back, piercing the man's heart.
