"You guys, go take a look at the front again!"
When Chen Qixing saw that the sentry knight was still not returning, he looked at the canyon in front of him that looked like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, and gave instructions to the several Jinyi guards beside him.
After that, he looked carefully for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, after the sentry in front comes back, we have to speed up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at Chen Qixing, who was mediocre in intelligence and martial arts, but was selected as one of the Eighteen Riders because of his night vision, and said with a smile: "You have always been bold, why do you seem to be a different person tonight?"
When Chen Qixing heard this, he glanced around again, and then said respectfully: "It's not that the general is timid, but that your Majesty's safety cannot be compromised."
"The general heard that Liu Fangliang was almost unscrupulous in this battle, and his assassins were all-pervasive. Now that Jingnan Bo has retreated, his assassins may be on their way here, or have arrived in Gu'an County."
"Moreover, the capital is not far from here, and the rebels who caused the mutiny are very likely to come and attack Your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted loudly: "Guard him!"
As soon as his words rang out, more than a dozen imperial guards flew forward to protect Zhu Yuanzhang in the middle.
"Hee hee hee!"
At this time, there was a burst of sweet laughter from the forest on the right, and then a sweet voice said: "What a quick reaction, I don't know if I can block the impact of the wolf soldiers, hehe hehe..."
"No need to chase!"
Chen Qixing shouted loudly to stop the Jin Yiwei who was running towards the place where the voice came from, and solemnly said: "She is already gone!"
When the Jinyi guards heard this, they all looked surprised, and then came back with angrily expressions on their faces.
"Do you know who is coming?"
Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Qixingdao.
Chen Qixing shook his head and said: "She is covered with a veil, so she can't see clearly!"
"But judging from the clothes and body movements, he looks like someone from the Wenxiang Cult!"
"Smell the scent!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the saint of Wenxiang Cult who briefly appeared in Jiangnan and then disappeared, and said to himself: "Could it be her?"
"But how could she come to Hebei at this time, and also know the whereabouts of the wolf soldiers? Could it be..."
"Your Majesty, we are now only more than ten miles away from Gu'an County. Do you want to return to the city immediately?"
While Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering, Chen Qixing asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the dark canyon ahead, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late!"
Chen Qixing also knew that if the wolf soldiers were hiding in the canyon ahead, if they retreated at this moment, they would most likely be wiped out.
But if they don't retreat, more than a hundred of them will not be able to block the wolf soldiers' attack.
Just when he was in trouble, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice saying: "Take the mountain trail!"
"Mountain trail?"
Chen Qixing said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, the trail is rugged and difficult to navigate. Once you are ambushed, there is no way to escape..."
"Let's go!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish Chen Qixing's words, he turned his horse's head and walked sideways.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qixing hurriedly ordered people to explore the way, while he and more than a dozen Jinyi guards guarded Zhu Yuanzhang closely.
However, he only took a few steps before he called another flag and asked the other party to lead a group of people towards Gu'an County.
"Da da da!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and his party had only walked a few hundred miles when the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Just when everyone was preparing to meet the enemy, they heard Chen Qixing shouting in a low voice: "Don't panic, they are not here to chase us!"
After everyone heard this, they relaxed a little, but they still looked nervous.
However, when they heard the sound of horse hooves gradually receding, and then the sound of killing came soon after, the faces that had just smiled were full of anger again.
"Come on, don't let their sacrifices be in vain!"
Chen Qixing saw that everyone was angry, and some even seemed to want to drive their horses back, so he hurriedly shouted in a low voice.
Although everyone is unwilling, they also know this
The most important thing at the time was Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, so they all rode their horses slowly with angry faces.
The group of them walked for more than a mile, and when they were about to drive their horses at a fast pace, suddenly there was a big fire on both sides, and then there was a proud laugh.
"Escort!"
Chen Qixing shouted while running to Zhu Yuanzhang's side from behind, watching the cavalry on both sides with vigilance.
"Why is it a wolf soldier again?"
Chen Qixing muttered something and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in a moment..."
"Chongzhen, did you ever think that today would happen!"
At this time, Mr. Zou Da, who was dressed in white robes, rode forward and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a proud look on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mr. Zou Da coldly and said with a smile: "Do you think you can capture us with just these hundreds of wolf soldiers?"
Mr. Zou Da laughed and said: "Chongzhen, you are really confident, but unfortunately, you have no way to go tonight!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said, "Really?"
"certainly!"
Mr. Zou Da said with great satisfaction: "I was planning to make a surprise attack on Gu'an County and capture you, but I didn't expect that you would find out."
"It's a pity that although you saved Gu'an County, you ended up being too confident and fell into my trap..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mr. Zou Da chattering incessantly, he sneered: "When we were in Jizhou before, you always took the initiative, but you were still captured alive by us."
"Now that you are on our territory, and we have taken the initiative to leave the city, where do you get the confidence?"
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he laughed wildly to cover up the shame and anger in his heart.
He stopped laughing and said with disdain: "Chongzhen, Chongzhen, you are really a talent!"
"You are trying to delay time. I tell you, it's useless. Your thousand soldiers and horses have been blocked by me. As for your soldiers and horses in Gu'an County, they will also be suppressed by the thousand cavalry I just sent."
"You are now... By the way, there are also Li Jing's soldiers and horses, they are all fighting."
"I guess you don't know that thanks to your high price for recruiting soldiers, my people were also lucky enough to get a lot of money and gave you a big gift."
"Now Brother Li Wu's three recruiting camps in Beijing have mutinied. As a result, Li Laiheng gained more than 5,000 men. He was about to take the opportunity to go south. Fortunately, your confidant General Li Jing knew the opportunity and stopped him in time. The two sides are still fighting. ......".Ь.
"If you are interested and willing to kneel down and beg me, I might consider sparing your life..."
"presumptuous!"
When Chen Qixing saw Mr. Zou Da uttering obscene words, he shouted loudly. When he was about to step forward on his horse, he was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Mr. Zou Da couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's calm face.
He mocked and made secret calculations. After discovering that there were no mistakes or omissions, he felt even more uneasy.
For fear of a long night, he was about to order an attack when he suddenly heard a scream beside him, and then found a cold sword on his neck.
Mr. Zou Da looked slightly sideways, and when he saw a woman with a black gauze mask and a voluptuous figure standing on his guard's horse holding a sword, he was a little surprised and asked: "Who are you?"
The woman smiled sweetly and said sweetly: "If you are willing to kneel down and beg for mercy, I can consider telling you!"
Mr. Zou Da snorted coldly and shouted: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order and immediately attack Chongzhen..."
"You don't want your life!"
The woman interrupted Mr. Zou Da's words in a panic. At the same time, she exerted slight force on the sword in her hand, and a wisp of blood immediately slid down the tilted sword.
