“It’s too high to reach the clouds, and the mountains are connected to each other.
Scenery can be seen in all four seasons, and you can meet the gods at every turn. "
The three people who were resting in the forest of Huashan were drinking water. Thorin felt inspired, shook his head and composed a poem.
Qiang Xu laughed at the side and said, "I can't believe that our young patriarch from Yiqu actually learned to compose poetry."
Thorin curled his lips and said: "When you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do. We can't always ride horses and herd sheep, right? When I have nothing to do, I often go to Wenleiju to ask for some knowledge."
Ying Zheng joked: "It's good to learn more knowledge, but your poetry is really not very good."
"That's right, usually this kind of poem is hummed by an old man selling oil on the street to attract people to come to oil." Qiang Xuan agreed.
Thorin was not convinced: "It's a limerick, you guys should make a poem and take a look at it."
(During the Warring States Period, the level of Qilu was lower than Cipai.)
Qiang He said: "There is no such leisure and elegance now. It is more important to accompany my elder brother to do things."
The three of them had discussed it before they came, and they would travel incognito and would only treat each other as brothers.
"That's right." Thorin looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Brother, how far is the place you want to go?"
Ying Zheng took out a specially made map, looked at it and said, "It's not far, there's still half a day's journey."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the forest to the north.
The three stood up alertly and looked in that direction.
I saw the branches of a tree swaying gently about one hundred and fifty feet away.
Qiang He said: "It can't be that there are big insects."
"Maybe he really is a god." Thorin said.
Ying Zheng packed his bags and said, "You are also a plague god. Let's go and try not to cause too much trouble."
The three of them stepped forward lightly, quickly climbed over the mountain ridge, and came to another mountain ridge.
Looking back, there was no movement in the forest just now.
Just when a few people breathed a sigh of relief, they saw some small black dots appearing from far to near. As they got closer, they heard subtle noises.
"Lie to Kangxi"
"Brother, it seems to be a bee." Qiang Yu said.
Thorin's eyes widened and he said, "You're not here for us, are you?"
Ying Zheng said: "We are getting closer and closer. If we are not coming towards us, how can we just pass by?"
"run!"
The three brothers spread their legs and ran forward.
Ying Zheng has been insisting on taking Linggu Pill, and some of his body's potentials have been stimulated long ago. The Xuanwu Fruit eaten in Jiuyou has also been of great benefit. Now his strength, speed, and endurance are much higher than ordinary people.
It's just that as an emperor, he usually doesn't need to do anything, and there are always people around to protect him, so even he himself can't notice anything.
The sense of crisis came, and he started running wildly. The bounce of his legs and body and the coordination of his body were obviously much stronger than before.
In a few moments, the two brothers were left behind.
Thorin and Qiang Yu were stunned.
After all, we have been training with the Huben Army for more than half a year. You, the pampered King of Qin, have too little respect for our profession.
Ying Zheng, who was running in front, was unaware. He didn't look back and shouted directly: "When we encounter a swarm of bees, we need to find a water source. We may have pollen on our bodies. If we get wet, they will not follow us."
The two people behind responded and sped up, and the swarm of bees followed closely.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, but there was no obstacle for the swarm, and the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened.
Coincidentally, after climbing over a small mountain ridge, we saw a small river at the bottom of the valley, and could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
"Let's go and cross the river before we talk." Ying Zheng looked back at the bee swarm and then rushed towards the bottom of the valley.
The two brothers followed closely behind.
But just when the river was close at hand, I heard a few "swish, swish" sounds, and several arrow feathers were shot from the woods on the other side of the river!
Ying Zheng subconsciously jumped up and did a somersault, barely dodging those arrows. Unexpectedly, when he had nowhere to put his force in the air, another cold arrow came speeding towards him, seemingly even faster.
Ying Zheng couldn't avoid it, and thought in his heart: No!
At the critical moment of life and death, a sword flew from behind and hit the arrow feathers. The next moment, Ying Zheng fell into the river.
It turned out that Qiang Yu felt something strange when he saw the swarm of bees, and he had already held his sword in his hand to prevent danger that might come at any time.
Most of Ying Zheng's body was wet, and he didn't have time to think too much. He flew towards the two brothers, and then each hid behind a tree.
Unexpectedly, a swarm of bees arrived and attacked the three of them.
Ying Zheng pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, cut off the skirt of his clothes, threw it to Suolin and Qiang He and said, "Use this wet skirt of clothes to cover your head and face."
The three of them did this, then took out the costumes they had changed out of before, and kept beating the swarm, while waving, they also paid attention to the cold arrows fired from the opposite side.
"Brother, it seems we have fallen into a trap." Qiang He said anxiously, "Someone must be ambushing us here."
"I don't know if they are bandits or assassins." Ying Zheng gradually calmed down, "Not many people know our whereabouts. Could it be that they are all out for money and murder?"
Qiang Yu lost his sword in his hand, so he took out his flying crossbow, shot two arrows at the opposite side, and said: "Let's look at the path. As usual, bandits will not use this kind of strategy."
Ying Zheng's heart sank. You must know that the bandits are relatively easy to answer correctly. If someone deliberately assassinates, the number of the other party may be incalculable, and they may still have backup plans.
"We have to think of a way. We can't waste time like this. There may be a group of people in the direction where the swarm is coming from." Thorin also shot two arrows and followed up.
Ying Zheng took a peek at the small river and saw it winding forward and turning a corner at the foot of the mountain not far away.
"Don't leave this forest and go forward along the river." Ying Zheng pointed and said, "Wet your clothes first and get rid of the swarm."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Qiang He said, "I suspect those people deliberately sprinkled some pollen or spices on the mountain road, and the smell is on their feet."
The three of them made a plan and headed downstream along the mountain forest at the bottom of the valley and in the direction of the river.
As expected, there was movement in the forest on the opposite side, and more than a dozen figures were seen walking forward along the river bank, and a few arrow feathers were shot from time to time.
"Mom, when we get rid of this swarm, let these brats have a taste of grandpa's sword skills." Thorin scolded while protecting the outside of Ying Zheng to resist the flying arrows that could be fired at any time.
Finally reaching the corner, the opponent had lost the shooting angle. The three brothers jumped into the river, getting wet from head to toe, and then got into the forest on the other side.
After running for some distance, the swarm of bees no longer followed. The three of them hid in a depression and observed what was going on behind them.
"Running away like this is not an option." Qiang Yu said in a low voice, "Let's also ambush them. Now that the swarm has dispersed, they don't know our location."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Ying Zheng made a decisive decision and decided to fight back.
Not long after, a dozen figures came up.
The leader looked at the leaving swarm, then gestured to his men, and the assassins began to search.
Whizzing……
Three crossbow arrows shot out quickly.
The first two teams knocked down one person each, and the third team went straight to the leader's face.
The leader realized that he had some skills. He shrank his head and turned sideways, then took the long bow in his hand and shouted at the same time: "Hidden."
The remaining assassins hid on the spot.
Another round of crossbow arrows followed but all missed.
When Ying Zheng saw that none of them showed their heads, he didn't shoot anymore.
The leader whispered to the deputy next to him: "Send a few people to cover up from both sides, and we will suppress it from the front."
The deputy nodded and arranged for four people to surround him from both sides.
Qiang Yu guessed the intention at a glance and whispered to Ying Zheng: "It seems they want to surround us, please withdraw."
Ying Zheng nodded and waved to Solin.
The three of them raised their hands and shot another feint arrow at the opposite side, then quickly evacuated.
When the leader saw it, he was unwilling to give up and hurriedly ordered a pursuit.
As expected, this group of assassins had some tricks up their sleeves. During the pursuit, they took turns shooting to ensure that there were always arrows flying towards the fleeing King of Qin and his group. However, the distance was still quite far, and all the flying arrows fell behind their feet.
But what these assassins didn't expect was that King Qin, who was supposed to be pampered in the palace, how could he have such good physical strength? He also ran extremely fast on the rocks, as did the two followers behind him.
The distance between the two sides was gradually opened, and after turning around the foot of the mountain, the figures in front of them had disappeared.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, but the three people did not slow down and ran towards the ridge ahead.
Unexpectedly, when they immediately climbed the mountain ridge, several more arrows were suddenly shot towards them.
The three brothers hurriedly avoided, but Qiang Yu was unable to block because he had no arrows in his hands, and his arm was scratched.
"Brother, are you okay?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
Qiang Xuan pressed the wound and said, "It's no big deal, just scratch some flesh."
Thorin quickly took off the clothes wrapped around his body and bandaged his wound.
"It looks like the situation is not good. There is an ambush in front and pursuers behind." Qiang He said.
Ying Zheng looked at the mountain ridge and whispered: "The pursuers behind are still some distance away. If we can quickly deal with the people in front, we can ambush them again."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and then two black figures rose into the sky, followed by three figures approaching quickly.
Two bunches of blades cut through the air and struck towards Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng raised the Xuanyuan Sword and tried to block it. The next moment, the two long swords he swung had been broken into two pieces.
The two assassins could not have imagined that the golden sword in King Qin's hand would be so sharp, and they were stunned for a moment.
Thorin saw the opportunity and killed two people with one knife.
The three people behind seemed not to have expected such a situation, and they were momentarily panicked.
Seeing that they were outnumbered, Ying Zheng and Solin simply attacked them.
Although King Qin's skills are not top-notch, he has received strict training since he was a child, so he has no problem dealing with ordinary soldiers.
Coupled with the advantage of his own body function and the advantage of Xuanyuan Sword, he cooperated with Thorin to kill two people in just a few rounds, and one of them fell to the ground seriously injured.
"Tell me, who are you?" Thorin asked, putting his sword against the man's throat.
The man pressed his hand on the wound in his abdomen, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and gasping for air. Instead, he laughed and said: "It seems that those Wei people are really useless, and they let you escape here, but you can't escape, I The signal has been given, and the brothers are all rushing here."
Ying Zheng snatched his sword and threw it to Qiang He behind him. He turned around and asked, "Tell me your plan and I will spare your life."
But the man still smiled and said: "Even if you spare my wound, I'm afraid you won't be able to save it. Right now, you are no different from me. You are all waiting to die on this stone ridge."
After that, the man closed his eyes and said no more words.
At this moment, a dark group of people appeared at the foot of the ridge. The leader was the leader they were chasing just now. There were about forty people behind him.
Qiang Xuan analyzed: "They are probably the group that released the swarm. Judging from their posture, they are about to attack."
Thorin angrily stabbed the injured man lying on the ground to death, saying: "Come on, don't worry about what will happen to him."
"Don't be reckless." Qiang Yu hurriedly advised, "Didn't you hear it just now? They have people on other hills and are rushing here."
"Withdraw." Ying Zheng picked up Qiang Yu, took Solin and ran towards the foot of the ridge.
