Under Yan Liqiang's arrangement, everything went in order...
Concubine Rong and a group of palace ladies were resting and washing in the backyard.
The sergeants and guards who had been fighting last night were resting in the front yard, eating, recharging their energy, and preparing to set off again in the evening.
Some of the craftsmen's servants sitting on the carriage last night were busy in the blacksmith's workshop, making iron locks and chains for repairing the bridge, and some were going door to door in the town, removing door panels to prepare for paving the bridge. , and others are cooking and taking care of the carriages and horses.
Personnel were posted at the intersections of the town. Now, Yan Liqiang and his group were the only ones in the town. After a night of tension, everyone's nerves were temporarily relaxed.
Just like last night, Yan Liqiang told everyone that the bridge would be repaired before dark. Then at midnight tonight, everyone would cross the bridge and continue on the road, and then try to leave Huizhou and reach a safe place before dawn tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Yan Liqiang explained to a few of his men, and then one person took the dragon-shaking bow and Feiyu Wujin arrows on his back, called Yan Qing and Yan Hong, and the three of them left Qingping Town on rhinoceros horses. After a while, we arrived at the broken bridge we saw before, and then continued walking back. After walking about twenty miles, we came to the exit of a valley.
Yan Liqiang looked at the surrounding environment on the horse and nodded, "This is it!" Then he dismounted and the three people took the Rhinoceros horse to a hillside behind the valley, letting the Rhinoceros horse eat grass and rest, and then Yan Liqiang He took Yan Qing and Yan Hong around again and came to the valley. They found a hidden position more than ten meters above the ground and climbed up. Then Yan Liqiang took out the dried meat and water he had brought with him and greeted the two of them. After sitting down, he said, "Come on, eat something, drink some water, and recuperate first!"
Yan Qing and Yan Hong followed Yan Liqiang here without saying a word. They didn't speak on the way. When they got here, the two of them looked at each other and sat down next to Yan Liqiang. Then Yan Qing spoke, "This... Master brought us here." , why?”
Compared to Yan Qing, Yan Hong's personality is relatively more reserved and taciturn. She rarely speaks unless necessary, and she just closes her eyes and rests when she has nothing to do.
Taking the two pieces of dried meat to the two people, Yan Liqiang smiled and said, "Guess why?"
Yan Qing took another look at the surrounding environment, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's a good place for an ambush to guard this valley from a high place. This valley is the only way from the Imperial City to Huizhou. Young Master is called Are we here to ambush someone?"
"Hahaha, you guessed it right, then guess who we are going to ambush?"
"Could it be, the White Lotus Sect?" Yan Qing's eyes suddenly lit up again, and Yan Hong was also slightly shocked. Looking at Yan Liqiang, his eyes flashed, revealing a trace of murderous intent. He was ambushed by the White Lotus Sect after escaping from the East Palace that night. The two of them had been brooding over the incident and had been looking for an opportunity to get this situation back and avenge His Highness the Crown Prince. They didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.
"Guessed it right again!"
"How do you know that the White Lotus Sect is chasing us?"
"Guess again!"
"Uh..." Yan Qing really couldn't guess this.
Yan Qing and Yan Hong looked at Yan Liqiang who was eating dried meat, and their heads were full of doubts. Yan Liqiang and everyone set out together last night. They didn't meet anyone from the White Lotus Sect on the way. They didn't find anything. Why did Yan Liqiang Are they sure that people from the White Lotus Sect are chasing them? Yan Liqiang only smiled and said nothing. Both Yan Qing and Yan Hong felt that Yan Liqiang was unfathomable, and their hearts were filled with awe.
The reason why Yan Liqiang was so anxious to leave Luyuan this time was that, in addition to the fact that Luyuan might be breached by the walking dead at any time, there was actually another very important reason, and that was the White Lotus Sect.
Lin Qingtian knew that he was in Luyuan, and he had already had murderous intentions towards him, and wanted to get rid of him. When the chaos in the Imperial City happened, the White Lotus Sect was busy chasing the emperor, and they might not be able to care about him for a while, but when they pulled out Come on, it would be bad if you were still staying in Luyuan. When he left Luyuan last night, Yan Liqiang kept a secret and let the flaming-eyed golden eagle stare at Luyuan behind him. Sure enough, he just left Luyuan not long ago, News came from the Fire-Eyed Golden Eagle that someone was indeed coming from the Deer Garden. After walking around the Deer Garden, those people followed their tail and chased them all the way. The person leading the way was someone who had met the Fire-Eyed Golden Eagle. The ghost king of fate...
Therefore, instead of waiting for the people from the White Lotus Sect to come to your door, it is better to take the initiative, wait for work here, and give the Ghost King a surprise!
After eating, drinking some water, and replenishing his strength, Yan Liqiang asked Yan Qing and Yan Hong to find two hidden ambush positions nearby and wait patiently. Yan Liqiang raised his head and looked at the sky in the direction of the Imperial City in the east, with a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth. With a cold smile, the ashes on the back of my butt are not delicious. Last night, I led the team to rush all the way on the official road. There were not many walking dead on the official road, so the team rushed all the way, so that the walking dead could not catch up, but After the team passed by, there was a lot of movement, and all the walking zombies near the official road gathered on the official road, and then chased after him from the official road. The walking zombies he encountered along the way were thousands and thousands, and they were far more numerous than the ones he encountered. Many times more, even if the White Lotus Sect sends out elite experts, it may not be that easy to rush over. The Ghost King was not at all easy last night...
After glancing to the east, Yan Liqiang opened his quiver, took out a flying black gold arrow from the quiver, weighed it in his hand, then took out a small bamboo stick and sat under the tree to relax there. The arrows of Feiyu Wujin Arrow began to become thickened...
…
On the official road a hundred miles away...
The Ghost King roared with red eyes. He leaned forward and waved the long sword in his hand. The heads of several walking zombies that rushed towards him flew up. Then he galloped forward and knocked away a few more walking zombies. With the long sword in his hand, the Ghost King roared. Slashing left and right, mowing down another circle of walking zombies...
After a night of pursuit last night, I encountered so many walking dead that the Ghost King, who had always used a pair of flesh palms as weapons, had no choice but to pick up a long sword and start slashing. Two of the long swords had already been cut off. , this is the third one, the blade is already full of gaps...
When they left Luyuan, there were still thirty-six elite masters in the night-walking ghost army following the Ghost King. But at this moment, there were only twenty-five of the thirty-six elite masters in the night-walking ghost army.
Yan Liqiang suffered heavy losses without even touching a single hair on his side. The ghost king's eyes were red with death, but the eyes of the walking zombies that were crowding around him were even redder, and they were not afraid of death. At this moment, the sky was already bright and the sun had risen. When I got up, I saw the movement on the official road. The walking corpses further away were pouring in from the villages and towns on both sides of the official road. They covered the fields and ran like wild beasts chasing prey. They were so densely packed that there were as many as two dozen. Thirty thousand, such a scene, even if the Ghost King saw it, his scalp would feel numb.
After sweeping through several walking corpses again, the long sword in the Ghost King's hand was broken into two pieces again. The Ghost King waved his hand and threw out the half-remaining long sword, cut open two heads, and shouted, "Quickly leave." …”
The remaining masters of the night-walking ghost army surrounded the ghost king and kept charging forward, breaking through the encirclement of the walking dead and carving a bloody path.
"ah… "
Hearing another scream from behind, the Ghost King turned around and saw one of his henchmen falling behind, and was suddenly pulled off the rhinoceros horse by a group of walking zombies.
That man was also very skilled. He bounced up from the ground as soon as he fell off the rhinoceros horse. But when he bounced up, there were already two walking zombies hanging on him. One walking zombie was holding his waist, and the other walking zombie was holding him. His legs, the zombie holding his waist opened his mouth to bite his neck, and the one holding his thigh opened his mouth to bite his thigh directly.
The man chopped off the head of a walking zombie with a knife, and smashed the head of another walking zombie with a punch. His neck was not bitten, but he was bitten hard on his thigh, which was heartbreaking. The two walking zombie heads It was broken, but the hand was still holding him tightly, and the whole body was hanging on the man's body, like two sandbags, so the man jumped more than two feet high and fell heavily to the ground.
The second time he jumped from the ground, the number of walking zombies hanging on the man's body had turned into four. The height of the jump was only one foot, and then he landed on the ground again.
There was no third time, only a terrifying exclamation, "Sir, save me..."
Of course, the Ghost King did not save him, because when the man shouted these words, and the rhinoceros horse beside him, they were completely drowned by a group of walking corpses. Only his screams and the screams of the fallen rhinoceros horse could be heard...
At this time, there are only twenty-four masters of the night-walking ghost army who followed the ghost king, and one-third of them have been damaged. Even if they are alive, most of them are injured.
"Junior, when I catch up with you, I will have to cut you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart..." The Ghost King felt cruel in his heart, and galloped on the official road on a rhinoceros horse - this time, if the Holy Lord hadn't personally ordered it, The Ghost King will not even take action himself, because in the Ghost King's view, Yan Liqiang is not worth his actions at all. As long as he sends out his night-walking ghost army, he can easily bring back Yan Liqiang's head. That junior is in the archery. There were two brushes, but if the night-walking ghost army attacked, they probably wouldn't give him a chance to draw his bow at all. The only thing that made the ghost king feel that he was a bit miscalculated was that Yan Liqiang ran too fast and didn't wait for him in Luyuan to pick him up. It was really unforgivable...
