After receiving the order, Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun immediately mobilized all the Jinyi guards in the city, together with more than 60 Turkic guards around Princess Yicheng, to leave the city at night and go straight to the ruined temple where Yelu Abaoji rested.
In the ruined temple, more than 20 soldiers of the Yuan army sat together in small groups, around the campfire, eating dry food and drinking the koumiss they carried with them, feeling very happy and comfortable.
Yelu Abaoji was leaning against the door railing of the ruined temple, drinking mare's milk wine carelessly and looking into the distance with some worry.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are you so anxious? Is it because the two soldiers who went to the city to inquire about the news have not returned yet?"
Xiao Yanyan, dressed in Han women's clothing, walked slowly to Yelu Abaoji and asked softly.
Yelu Abaoji shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about the two of them. In my opinion, they haven't returned home for a long time. I'm afraid they are just like you. They haven't seen much of the world and have gone somewhere to be happy!"
Xiao Yanyan asked: "Then why does brother look so worried?"
Captain Yelu Abao sighed and said: "I am worried about the future of our Yelu family. Along the way, I have just realized how many heroes there are in the world! Yang Gao from Jiangdu, Li and his son from Guanlong, Zhao Kuangyin from Bingzhou, and Even Zhu Yuanzhang from Hebei Province is a great person among men. Although I, Yelu Abaoji, am conceited and ambitious, I am only a small tribal leader under Temujin. The future is not going to be easy!"
Xiao Yanyan frowned slightly when she heard this, and said seriously: "Brother, what you said is wrong. When Temujin started his career in the past, he only had a population of more than 10,000 and 2,000 troops. Today, although brother is inferior to others, the Yelv tribe also has tens of thousands. Elite, already much better than the original Temujin."
"The career of an emperor is extremely difficult and dangerous. If my brother is worried just by seeing this difficulty, then I think he should just be a general under Temujin!"
Xiao Yanyan's words made Yelu Abaoji's heart tremble, and he suddenly laughed heartily and said: "What my little sister said is that when heaven assigns a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his mind and body. Brother Yu, I will remember your words."
"Brother, be careful!"
Yelu Abaoji was laughing wildly when Yelu Xiezhen who was beside him suddenly roared, unsheathed his sword, swung his sword in front of Yelu Abaoji, and knocked down a sharp arrow that was aimed at Yelu Abaoji.
"Brothers, kill all the Hulu, leaving no one behind!"
At the same time, there were loud shouts of killing outside the ruined temple, and shadows of people were moving in the dark night. Sixty or seventy burly men, waving their weapons and running fast, rushed into the ruined temple.
"Quick, protect the leader!"
Yelu Xiezhen roared loudly, and immediately swung his sword and rushed towards the oncoming Jin Yiwei. Upon receiving the call, the soldiers of the Yuan army who were resting in the ruined temple also stood up, picked up their swords, and followed Yelu Xiezhen's steps to meet him.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! !
All of a sudden, the sound of weapons clashing in a small ruined temple was heard continuously. From time to time, someone was stabbed in the vital part with a sword and fell into a pool of blood with a scream.
Although the men and horses brought by Yelu Abaoji were all elite, there was no need to worry about the fact that the guards brought by Zhan Zhao were not carefully selected. Although the Turkic guards who protected Princess Yicheng's escape south were simple-minded, their limbs were indeed well-developed.
Jinyiwei and Princess Yicheng combined their forces to have an absolute advantage in numbers. It would not be difficult for three or five people to attack a Yuan army and win. In just a moment, less than ten of the twenty Yuan troops were killed, and almost all of them were wounded.
"Yelü Xiezhen, the opponent has a large number of people. We are not opponents. Quickly protect me and Yan Yan and fight out!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yelu Abaoji immediately shouted to Yelu Xiezhen and ordered him to protect him and Xiao Yanyan and break out.
"yes!"
Hearing Yelu Abaoji's greeting, Yelu Xiezhen responded immediately and led the remaining soldiers of the Yuan Army to protect Yelu Abaoji and Xiao Yanyan and kill outside.
Yelu Xiezhen was a general of the Liao Kingdom and was highly skilled in martial arts. Yang Laolinggong, who became a household name in later generations, was defeated by Yelu Xiezhen and Yelu Xiuge, and was defeated and captured.
This time, Yelu Xiezhen went south without any long weapons in order to deceive others. He only used a sword that he carried with him. Although he was not good at using swords, Yelu Xiezhen still used his extraordinary martial arts to carve a bloody path for Yelu Abaoji and others.
"What a powerful Hugou, look at me, Zhan Xiong, coming to get you!"
Zhan Zhao saw that Yelu Xiezhen, who was tall and powerful, was unstoppable. He swung his sword with great force and killed five or six of his subordinates one after another. He killed him all the way to the temple gate. He immediately became furious and jumped out with both feet. The Zhanlu sword in his hand gleamed with cold light and stabbed Yelv Xiezhen's throat.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Zhan Zhao has entered the espionage state. The force is +3. The base force is 96. The current force has increased to 99."
Yelu Xiezhen saw that Zhan Zhao's sword was coming quickly and urgently, and the cold air was overwhelming. He knew in his heart that the person coming must be a man with strong martial arts skills, so he immediately shouted: "Brother, you and Yan Yan go first, I will be behind!"
Immediately, he mustered up all his energy to face Zhan Zhao. The long sword in his hand shone with cold light, clashing with Zhan Zhao's Zhanlu sword from time to time, causing fierce sparks to burst out in the night sky.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Yelu Xiezhen has entered a state of full strength. The force is +5. The base force is 95. The current force has been increased to 100."
"Ding dong, it was detected that Yelu Xiezhen was using an unsuitable sword as a weapon. His force was -2, and his current force was reduced to 98."
"Ding dong, Yelu Xiezhen's four-dimensional ability has been detected. Command is 90, force is 95, intelligence is 81, and politics is 75."
Zhan Zhao and Yelu Xiezhen fought fiercely in this ruined temple. You came and I went back and forth, the cold light flickered. After more than twenty rounds of fierce fighting, it was still difficult to determine the winner.
"Brother Zhan, my little brother is here to help you take down this bastard!"
When Ouyang Chun saw that Zhan Zhao was still unable to take down the Yelu Xiezhen, he shouted, waved the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasure Sword in his hand and jumped out, pretending to join the battle group instantly.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Ouyang Chun has entered the brave state, his force is +3, his base force is 97, and his current force has increased to 100."
"Ding dong, it is detected that Ouyang Chun and Zhan Zhao trigger the combo skill 'Northern and Southern Heroes, Combination of Swords', each with +3 force. Zhan Zhao's force value rises to 102, and Ouyang Chun's force value rises to 103."
Yelu Xiezhen's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to those of Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun, and he was holding a sword that he didn't like. Even if he was fighting alone, he could only barely parry. What's more, now that they are facing the combined force of the two, how can they withstand it?
After reluctantly fighting the two for five or six more rounds, Yelu Xiezhen was already full of flaws and was pierced through the chest by Zhan Zhao's sword, killing him on the spot.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Yelu Xiezhen was killed by Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun. The host received 10 soul points. The current soul points have increased to 116."
