Seeing them hiding in the woods, the enemy immediately gave up their bows and crossbows, swung their knives and rushed forward.
I saw enemies in all directions, densely packed like locusts. Chu Qiao's sword was astonishing and invincible, she led Li Ce to lead, and Tie You and others chased after her. At this time, there were only less than fifty people left. Everyone was bloody, seriously injured, and had no strength to fight anymore.
Chu Qiao's brains worked quickly, and she searched everywhere for the enemy's encirclement net, killing six or seven people in a row. The martial arts experience of the two lifetimes plus years of hard training finally brought into play a huge advantage in this jungle battle. Although she is short in stature, she is better able to use the terrain, moving and slashing in the jungle, almost no one can be her edge.
"Jojo! Jojo!"
Li Ce suddenly called out loudly. Chu Qiao turned her head and saw a big man approaching him with a knife. Tie You was dripping with blood and was on the verge of falling, obviously he couldn't last long.
Chu Qiao flew up, kicked the big man on the shoulder, and slashed down with his sword in the air. The moon-breaking long sword slashed diagonally along the big man's cheek to his shoulder, and the man fell to the ground with a scream , the skull was shattered and dripping with blood.
There was a sudden burning pain in her left shoulder, the girl raised her eyebrows, and with her left hand, she took out the dagger under her ribs and stabbed it into the attacker's eye socket. With a flick of his right wrist, he held a long spear coming from the right. When the opponent staggered back, the sword flower stabbed fiercely, flew up, and kicked the man's head and face with his right foot in succession. The sword followed and stabbed the man. heart.
"Qiao Qiao!" Li Ce turned pale with shock, and stepped forward to hug Chu Qiao, "You are injured!"
"Don't worry about me! Tie You, take your master to the west!"
"No! I can't leave you behind!"
Li Ce stubbornly stood where he was, picked up a long sword on the ground, fiddled with the flower stand and made gestures twice, then shouted vigorously: "You little boy! Come on!"
With a snap, the long sword touched his own sleeve before stabbing the enemy, and fell to the ground after being unsteady.
"Stupid!" Chu Qiao yelled angrily, took his hand, and shouted at Tie You and the others, "Follow me!"
The Moon Breaking Sword was sharp and cut the iron like mud. With a shua sound, only a short piece of the sword was left in the face of the enemy. The man was horrified when he was knocked over by the iron knife that followed him, and he fell on the ground dripping with blood. on the ground.
Stepping on the enemy's corpse, Chu Qiao quickly passed by, and everyone followed her up a high slope, only to see that the river below was rushing, and the waves were blooming. It seemed that there was still ice in it, and it was actually a newly opened river.
"Jump down!" Chu Qiao scolded, kicked an assassin in the stomach, and shouted to everyone.
"Ah?" Li Ce stood behind Chu Qiao, stretched his neck to look down, and said with a frown, "Qiao Qiao, you will be frozen to death!"
"You stay here if you miss!"
Li Ce stood hesitantly on the high slope, and failed to be cruel several times. Suddenly, a man came up from the high slope with a knife, and attacked the girl who was meeting the enemy from the side. The pampered Prince Bian Tang didn't know where the courage came from, picked up a big rock and threw it at the man's head. Hearing a cry, the man's head was bleeding instantly, and he rolled down like a gourd.
"Haha!" Li Ce succeeded in one blow, very proud, and continued bouldering to fend off the enemy.
Seeing the prince's great power, everyone imitated the example. Suddenly, the enemy's momentum was suppressed.
"Let's go!" Chu Qiao turned around and hugged Li Ce, who was having a great time beating, and pulled him down the slope. With a bang, everyone jumped into the water, and the biting cold suddenly hit, Chu Qiao and Li Ce immediately sank to the bottom of the water.
Chu Qiao was calm and moved up quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't get up. Looking down, he was furious, and saw that Li Ce was holding a big rock with his arms crossed, as if he was holding a gold brick.
She punched the man on the back and snatched the big rock out, but before she could float up, she heard a dense rain of arrows suddenly shot in, and screams continued to come from both sides. Waiting for someone to be tricked underwater. Chu Qiao thought to herself that foolish people are blessed with foolishness, pulled Li Ce and sneaked away.
The speed of the water was extremely fast, and after a while, the two of them showed their heads, and the enemies on both sides were still chasing after them, but they were already far away.
Chu Qiao's lips were blue and white, her shoulders were stained with blood, and her physical strength was gradually exhausted.
"Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao?" Li Ce's voice became more and more vague. Chu Qiao turned her head with great effort, only to see Li Ce was paddling the water with great effort, and when she saw her, she quickly said in a low voice, "You have to hold on, we're going to be out of danger."
This is the first time Li Ce has spoken to her in such a serious manner. His face was a little blue, his lips were pale and bloodless, his eyes were not as playful as usual, they were a little more serious, and his temperament seemed to be different.
Chu Qiao wanted to talk to him, but she opened her mouth a few times, but couldn't speak, she was shivering from the cold, and she was weak from excessive blood loss.
The river was dark red, and the enemy's shouts of killing continued to come from behind. Gradually, beacon fires were lit on other hills. It seemed that as long as they left the city today, no matter which direction they went, they would definitely be murdered. The enemy's assassination was on a huge scale, and the number of troops dispatched was unimaginable.
There was no sound of the guards beside him, the sound of the water was getting louder, and the sky was getting darker. The river was icy cold, splashing high, and the castration was accelerating. Chu Qiao and Li Ce exclaimed, and flew down a small waterfall. Suddenly, Li Ce hugged the girl tightly with all his strength, and the two fell from the sky together.
Yan Xun closed the topographic map, glanced at the subordinates around him, and said in a deep voice: "There are two things to remember in your actions. First, rescue Ah Chu smoothly, and second, don't reveal your identity. Once you are captured, you should know what to do. "
Ah Jing and the others nodded and said, "This subordinate understands."
"Let's go then."
Everyone agreed with a bang, and left quietly with their own troops.
The guard Ah Jing was beside Yan Xun, and asked softly, "Young Master, do you know who ambushed Prince Tang?"
Yan Xun shook his head and said: "I don't know, there is not enough information, but there are too many suspicious targets, but that is not important anymore. Once Li Ce dies, Da Xia and Bian Tang will inevitably go to war, which will bring us great benefits and no harm. , since they all have the same goal, we might as well help each other out. Besides, if Li Ce is by Ah Chu's side at this moment, then he may already be dead."
After finishing speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and he raised his head and said softly: "Even God is helping me."
Although I have long been familiar with marching in the mountains and jungles, every time I climb up, I can still see a large number of hunters' torches, biting their tails tightly like ghosts chasing their lives, so that they have no time to rest and choose escape routes. You can only run towards the dense jungle and the insurmountable mountains.
When they finally got rid of those people for a while, the sky was completely dark, and they finally lost their way and couldn't discern Zhenhuang's direction.
The night was cold and foggy, and there was a light rain in the first half of the night, and the temperature dropped rapidly. They didn't even dare to light a fire to prevent being discovered. Chu Qiao and Li Ce were sitting in a dense bush. The thin girl was sitting on the tree trunk. Her bones were almost falling apart. Blood was oozing from many wounds on her body, and the pain was unbearable. The arrow wound on her shoulder was especially serious, and the pain would be piercing if she moved too much, and the excessive blood loss made her feel extremely sleepy and sleepy.
But years of training and experience let her know that this moment is the most important moment for escaping. Once she collapses at this moment, she may never have a chance to wake up again.
"Qiao Qiao?" Li Ce's voice rang in his ears, and a robe was draped over the girl's shoulders. Chu Qiao frowned, raised her head, and saw the man squatting beside her, still smiling and saying, "My clothes are dry."
Li Ce's clothes had lost their scent. They were soaked in river water for half a day, and fled in the jungle again. They were crumpled like a piece of rag. The bright red clothes were covered with dark red marks, and it was not known which unlucky killer's blood.
Chu Qiao moved lightly, and the blood on her shoulder immediately oozes out. Li Ce was startled, there was no more smile on his pale face, he hurriedly pressed Chu Qiao's wound, and hurriedly said, "It's bleeding again, what should I do?"
"It's okay," Chu Qiao frowned, tore off a corner of her shirt, bound it hastily, and said in a deep voice, "Sit down first."
"Ah?" Li Ce's eyes widened and he asked in confusion.
"Sit down first!" The woman frowned impatiently, her voice was weak but full of momentum, "We don't have much time, hurry up and rest."
"Oh," Li Ce sat down honestly, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Qiao Qiao, do you know who those are?"
"If you are so energetic, you might as well run a few more steps later. If you dare to clamor for a rest, I will kill you first, lest you drag me down."
Prince Bian Tang was silent like a cicada, sitting on the ground with his neck curled up, but his eyes rolled around restlessly.
Of course she also wanted to know who did it! But there were too many goals, and she really couldn't grasp the clue for a while.
If Li Ce was assassinated outside Zhenhuang City, Bian Tang would definitely take the lead, and the war between Da Xia and Bian Tang was inevitable. Once the world's two great powers go to war, from the overall situation, the first to benefit are the Huai Song Dynasty on the coast of the eastern region, the Great Wilderness in the southern border, and the Quan Rong in the northwest border. Especially Huai Song, their prosperous commerce and abundant grain reserves will immediately become the target of strong wooing between the two countries, and Huai Song will also leap from a weak military country to occupy a strong strategic position.
From the perspective of the internal political situation, if Li Ce died, there would be no successors for the Bian Tang royal family, and the blood relatives of the subordinate ancestral temple would have the opportunity to ascend the throne. Tang Huang's brothers will also logically become heirs in line, and have a share of the vast land of Bian and Tang.
From Daxia's point of view, except for the Daxia royal family, those who have the strength to do this are all major clans and families. After all, the Mu He clan has just fallen, and Yan Xun has borrowed a knife to kill people and eradicated Mu He Xifeng and Wei Jing successively. Give birth to the emotions of cold lips and teeth, and sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox dies. The stability of the Great Xia regime has always come from the balance between the power of the royal family and the power of the aristocratic family. Once one side is too heavy, it will inevitably lead to a series of bloody coups.
With Wei Guang, Zhuge Muqing and others being old and cunning, they would not fail to see the crisis hidden under the cloak of the family's prosperity, preemptively provoke wars, and make Emperor Xia have to rely on the power of the family to take the opportunity to regain military power. They can't do it either.
But what Chu Qiao is most worried about is that this matter is led by Yan Xun and facilitated by the people sent by the Grand Peer Association. If this is the case, then her situation at this time will be quite embarrassing.
