The wagon continued to creak south.
Li De in the car was still soundly asleep, but Luo Ye, Xiang Meng and Xiang Zhehua who were awake did not look at him with the same contemptuous eyes they used to. After spending an undisturbed morning, Lid turned over and got up, while rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said to the other three people present:
"Brothers, I have a big announcement to make."
The three became vigilant for a moment, and then saw Lide pat his stomach, and said lazily:
"I'm hungry."
While the three breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help clenching their fists, restraining the urge to hit someone. But Luo Ye still threw a piece of shortbread and said:
"Now in the wilderness, there is no place to eat, the team leader should use some dry food first."
Lide took the shortbread and stared at the cloth bag next to Meng. Xiang Meng had no choice but took out a piece of jerky from the cloth bag and handed it over. Lide rolled the jerky with a cake, took out the kettle and ate and drank. He didn't pay much attention to his meals, and he couldn't tell that he was from aristocratic background, which once again aggravated the judgment of the three people in the car that he was an "upstart".
Halfway through eating, Lide put down the kettle and asked Luo Ye:
"Are we safe now?"
Luo Ye closed his eyes, felt the atmosphere around him, nodded and said:
"There is no living person within 500 meters, so it is safe for the time being."
Lide nodded, and suddenly leaned back, grabbed a sharp arrow shot into the carriage with his bare hands, broke it off, and threw it out the window:
"It seems that it's not that safe."
He clapped his hands and spoke calmly, as if he had just hit a mosquito casually.
The expressions of the three people present were startled. Luo Ye pulled out his long sword and looked around, and said in a low voice:
"There are assassins!!"
While watching their guarding actions, Lide took out the leftover half of the cake and continued to eat, saying:
"It's gone now. The archery master of the Nine Great Consummations only shoots one arrow. If the arrow misses, he won't have any follow-up actions. The carriage is constantly moving forward. If another arrow is shot, I will You can roughly guess his position. The opponent should be very aware of this, and will not attack again in a short time."
The faces of the three people present were not very good-looking.
If the poisonous wine yesterday gave them some face, what happened here was a merciless assassination. It's hard to imagine that this kind of thing would happen in the territory of Southern Chu, the second largest in the world. It is clearly in a peaceful place, but even the basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed. Dare to believe.
Lide finished eating the cake slowly, and continued:
"The other party is probably just a test, and there will be a more violent attack later. If I'm not wrong, it's probably a wave of arrows, killing our horse first, and then the people in ambush on both sides swarmed up. Luo Ye, Xiang Meng, the two of you should be able to survive with your level of cultivation, and you will run east together later. Xiang Zhehua, follow me and retreat."
Xiang Zhehua put his hand on the sword and said in a deep voice:
"I can fight too..."
Lied nodded:
"Okay, then I don't care about you, I will run by myself."
Xiang Zhehua was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to get such an answer at all, and didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, she knew very well what level her cultivation base was, and it was not enough for this kind of melee. Although she is Xiang Geling's granddaughter, the opponent may not dare to kill her, but youdao said that swords have no eyes, so who cares who she is in a real fight
The completion of the Six Majors can be regarded as a young and promising genius elsewhere, but it is really not enough to see in this situation of siege.
Xiang Zhehua bit her lip and stared at Lide with beautiful eyes, Lide completely ignored it.
He continued to instruct Luo Ye and Xiang Meng:
"The next city is Danqing City. Let's meet at the gate of the city tonight. Luo Ye, Xiang Meng, you two must come back together, or don't come back together. If only one of you comes back, I will directly treat that person as my wife." Ghosts. After all, from the analysis of the situation, the one who came to kill us must be someone from one of the forces in Southern Chu, and the four of us almost covered all the forces in this situation. So in theory, there are ghosts among us. I'm too lazy to guess whether you are ghosts or not, I will use simple and rude methods to solve this problem."
Luo Ye and Xiang Meng looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
The two of them could indeed run to different places, or they could ignore each other, but Lid said so, and they can only cooperate with each other in the next battle. At the same time, Lide's remarks also named a problem that everyone knew but didn't talk about - there must be some people in this team who don't want the case to be investigated.
Fortunately, from the current point of view, the peace faction is the most suspected, so Luo Ye and Xiang Meng are likely to be on the same front.
The Lord sent Xiang Zhehua, a woman whose level of cultivation was not high, and followed Li De's actions, Luo Ye and Xiang Meng didn't bother to bother. The carriage continued to move forward, and suddenly there was a whistling cold front. This time, Luo Ye and Xiang Meng, who had been prepared for a long time, swung their swords to block the iron arrows that shot into the carriage, but the carriage not only did not stabilize, but suddenly started to accelerate .
"The horse was hit by an arrow, and the carriage accelerated abnormally in pain... ready to jump off the carriage!"
Lid yelled. Xiangmeng clenched his teeth, and still shouted angrily:
"People from Yunyang, people from Shizifu, people from the Zhuhe faction, people from the main war faction... If we die here, what a serious matter it will be. God damn rebels, who dare to kill us, dare to kill us horse?!"
Both Xiang Meng and Luo Ye were in the middle of the ninth level, they jumped out of the car and drew their swords to slash. While fending off the rain of arrows, they chopped down several soldiers who were covering their faces with black cloths. Xiang Zhehua's hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and she didn't draw the sword, she bit her lips white, but she still bit the bullet and refused to ask Lide for help.
Lide grabbed her wrist, jumped out of the car window just before the carriage fell, rolled her around twice to relieve the tension, and then took her hand and fled into the distance without hesitation. Xiang Zhehua's fragile skin was scratched by the rough gravel, and the skin on the knee was extremely painful. But she still endured and refused to make any embarrassing noises. Instead, she drew out her long sword to block some cold arrows that were shot.
In fact, it doesn't matter if she blocks it or not, Lide can avoid it naturally. But Lide didn't interrupt her, because Lide knew very well that Xiang Zhehua was doing these meaningless things because she wanted to prove that she was useful, so that she would feel better.
"Be patient."
Lied quickened his pace, and the wind in his ears was loud. He turned his head and said to Xiang Zhehua who was almost floating behind him:
"I'm going to sprint!"
Xiang Zhehua only felt dizzy in her head, and after humming, her whole body almost floated up. The arm was like a kite string, and there was a tearing pain from the shoulder to the wrist.
