When Ji Yang saw three fast horses rushing out of the sky, he immediately ordered his generals: "Lead a team of a hundred people to catch up. Kill the men and capture the women alive."
The general was puzzled: "General, why do you still want to stay alive at this time..."
Ji Yang: "That's not a living thing, that's Yan Xiu's destiny."
Even though they were far apart, he could tell from Zhu Sijia's back that this woman was a rare and top beauty in the world, and she must be the Zhu Zhaoyi that Yan Xiu longed for.
Unexpectedly, he really took this woman with him to Xuzhou to die.
Yan Xiuke is different from other kings. He has been fighting all year round. Ji Yang has fought with him three times and never had the upper hand. His military power is not inferior to that of top generals, so he cannot be careless, so he must make thorough plans.
…
Zhu Sijia lay on the horse, not daring to raise her head, tightening the reins desperately and running out of the valley road.
The sound of the wind and the fighting behind her were about to pierce her eardrums, and the dust stirred up by the horse also confused her vision. This was the fastest she had ever run, and it was also the first time she had seized the opportunity to save someone from the hands of the Lord of Hell.
Her horsemanship was superior to that of Sui Yu and Mo Yu, and she ran a few feet in front of Sui Yu. The two of them followed her closely without saying a word, not daring to say anything to disturb her.
After all, the horses they rode were the tribute horses from Beiliang, and they pushed the assassins behind them far away.
The sound of hooves from the pursuers behind him never stopped. If the situation was urgent, they would be Zhu Sijia's human shields.
After running to the open plain, there were no more ridges. When they reached a fork in the road, Zhu Sijia was in trouble. She stood up and asked Suiyu:
"What to do, which way to go?"
Suiyu quickly observed the road, but saw that the dirt on the middle road was more compacted and there were countless wheel marks. He thought that this was the main road leading to Xuzhou. He pointed directly at the middle road:
"Run this way."
Zhu Sijia nodded and was about to mount her horse again when she heard a loud noise behind her. She looked back and saw that Broken Yu's horse was hit by a stray arrow in its leg. The horse suffered pain and fell directly to the ground, sending Broken Yu flying several feet away. .
The swing came suddenly, quickly and hard. Broken Yu lay motionless on the ground. His whole body was covered with a layer of yellow dust, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, making him look really embarrassed.
"Broken Yu!" Zhu Sijia reined in the reins, turned the horse's head and walked towards Broken Yu. She bent down and stretched out her hand, "Quick, get on my horse and go to Xuzhou with me!"
Arrows kept flying towards several people, but none of them hit them. The other party seemed to have discovered their shortcomings, and they drew their bows while riding horses to attack.
If they don't leave, Bao Qi will really be shot into a sieve this time. Even if they leave immediately, there are masters of mounted archery among the opponent's cavalry, and Zhu Sijia may also be hit by stray arrows.
Someone has to intercept.
As the voices of the pursuers approached, Suiyu endured the severe pain in his internal organs, vomited out a large mouthful of blood, pulled out his sword and stuck it on the ground to push himself up. He said with difficulty:
"Mo Yu, you first escort the queen to Xuzhou City to ask for reinforcements, and I'll take the lead."
Mo Yu is also considered the top expert among the dragon guards and has a close relationship with Suiyu. He looked at Zhu Sijia with a cold young face: "Empress, let's go."
Zhu Sijia cried and refused: "You can tell by the sound of horse hooves that there are many people on the other side. Suiyu is seriously injured, how can he intercept it?"
Mo Yu said helplessly: "Your Majesty's life is the most important thing, you don't need to worry about the rest."
When he said this, there was a bit of unbearability in his eyes. If he stayed, there would still be a glimmer of hope for Suiyu, but if he took Zhu Sijia away, Suiyu would definitely die without a complete body.
Zhu Sijia caught his eyes and couldn't bear it, clamped the horse's belly and ordered him loudly: "You stay and sever the queen with him! I will inform Mr. Zhao."
Mo Yu wanted to pursue her, but Suiyu persuaded her to stay: "Mo Yu, believe me, the empress, she will definitely be able to bring reinforcements, and you and I will take care of her."
Zhu Sijia said whatever she said was what she wanted. If she insisted on fighting with her, it would disrupt her position.
Besides, there should be no more ambushes as we approach Xuzhou City.
Mo Yu then agreed and helped Sui Yu to fight the enemy with him.
Zhu Sijia ran for a few more miles, with only the thought of moving reinforcements in her mind. The towering towers of Xuzhou were so close at hand. She was so surprised that she completely forgot to take care of the mechanism at her feet.
"ah--"
The horse stumbled and was blocked by a thick rope that suddenly rose from the ground, throwing Zhu Sijia off the horse.
Fortunately, she hugged the horse's neck the whole time and held it very tightly, so that the sudden thick rope was relieved.
Zhu Sijia fell hard to the ground and hit her chin hard, scratching a large area of skin, but luckily she didn't hit her head.
She struggled to get up, and a group of people emerged from the grass a few feet deep on both sides, all dressed as Qi people.
She was breathing heavily in pain, and the fall almost caused her to spit out her heart, liver, spleen and lungs, but now was not the time to let her breathe. The horse quickly stood up and bent its back towards her, just waiting for her to climb up.
"That's her! Capture her and give her to General Ji."
"Auntie, I think she is a weak woman, why not let her go."
"Let her go? You have all forgotten what General Ji said. In order to maintain her beauty, this woman eats people's hearts. She ate a thousand Qi people's hearts on the top of Mount Tai."
It seems that they are really ordinary people.
Without giving Zhu Sijia a chance to climb onto the horse, these rough-clothed people rushed out of the grass with hoes and sickles, and the men in shorts took away her horse.
The remaining women came towards her with baskets in their hands filled with rotten and smelly vegetables.
Seeing her face exposed, the people who trapped her were stunned. Then they threw vegetables at her mercilessly and spit at her:
"Bitch! Beat her to death!"
"That's her. I heard that she was the one who seduced the Emperor of Qin and sent troops to Qi. Her brother is Zhu Yuancun, the man who killed a thousand swords!"
His ears were full of obscene words.
An old man with white hair stopped them: "I've scolded her enough, I've thrown away the dishes, do you really want to do something to her? Take her to the general quickly. The general has told her to live."
…
A thin line of sky, corpses everywhere.
Yan Xiu held the long sword in his hand and approached Ji Yang step by step. His murderous aura made Ji Yang's subordinates frightened. Some were even frightened by him on the spot, vomiting bile and fainted.
Looking at this fight, no one on Yan Xiu's side was injured except for some superficial injuries. As for Ji Yangfang, there were only a few dozen defeated soldiers left.
"Ji Yang, even if you put on a mask, I can still recognize you." Yan Xiu smiled evilly, "So many people want to kill me, but they still fail like this. If I were you, I would just commit suicide and sacrifice my country to apologize."
"The Emperor of Qin truly lives up to his reputation, and the Dragon Guards and Silver Armored Guards are an eye-opener for me."
Ji Yang took off his mask, his face darkened, and he stared at Yan Xiu.
There was movement at the mouth of the valley.
Ji Yang knew that he had a chance to win, and he also approached Yan Xiu: "It's a pity that you calculated everything, but you didn't expect that I would come to Xuzhou to attack you, let alone that I still had a backup plan."
Yan Xiu sneered: "Backup plan? What other backup plan do you have?"
Ji Yang: "I am a backup, but I am a rare treasure. Bring people here!"
After finishing speaking, a group of common people pushed Zhu Sijia, who was covered in mess, and walked behind Ji Yang: "General, the people are here."
Yan Xiuben was at ease. The moment he saw Zhu Sijia, a mouthful of blood suddenly surged into his throat. He said sternly: "Ji Yang! What are you going to do?"
Ji Yang pinched Zhu Sijia's neck and pulled her to the front of the crowd: "What are you doing? Of course you want to taste Empress Zhaoyi."
