The second day.
The mission is back on the road.
Ning Yuanzhou pretended to be a man of Danyang King and went to confuse Zhou Jian.
The real mission disguised itself as a fake mission and easily escaped the ambush without any effort.
Zhou Jian even personally sent them out of Tushanguan.
In this way, the mission traveled all day and night in an attempt to reach the next stop as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Zhou Jian reacted later.
He learned that he had been deceived and angrily led an army of thousands to hunt down the mission.
When the mission learned the news, Zhou Jian's army was only an hour away from them.
They are about to be overtaken, and this battle is inevitable.
Ning Yuanzhou made a prompt decision. He asked everyone to change their driving route and set up an ambush at Tianxing Gorge to block Zhou Jian's army, thus achieving the goal of defeating more with less.
Ren Ruyi asked Yuan Lu for two thunder bombs, which blew up a narrow passage in Tianxing Gorge and fought for another half an hour.
Tianxing Gorge.
Everyone was performing their duties and making preparations for the war.
Yang Ying took responsibility for the first time. She was unwilling to retreat and wanted to stay and live and die with everyone.
High up in the rugged canyon, the people from the mission gathered here.
Yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and Xiao and Xi sat on the ground bored beside the pile of withered grass, looking into the distance.
Ren Ruyi sharpened her swords, found Xiao Yuxi in the crowd, and sat down next to her: "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Yuxi raised her hand and pointed to the sky: "Look, the blue sky, green mountains, and colorful clouds are so beautiful!"
On the eve of the war, she was still in such a leisurely mood.
Ren Ruyi frowned slightly: "You are still like this..."
She thought for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable adjective.
Xiao Yuxi turned to look at her and chuckled: "Why are you so anxious? This battle will be won."
Ren Ruyi's eyes flashed slightly: "Do you know?"
Xiao Yuxi replied casually: "Well, I just made a divination, and it's auspicious."
Ren Ruyi didn't say much.
The next second, the hilt of the sword was pressed between Xiao and Xi's throats: "Speak carefully."
"Okay." Xiao Yuxi said in a long voice and gently pushed away the hilt of the sword held by Ren Ruyi with his index finger.
She sighed and looked at Ren Ruyi with pretended sincerity: "Isn't it you?"
"As long as you are here, how often will we not escape death?"
Ren Ruyi took back the hilt of the sword: "What are you going to do later?"
Xiao Yuxi lay back and put his arms behind his head: "Find a place to hide. If you win, I will come out to cheer and celebrate; if you lose, I will sneak away first to respect you."
Ren Ruyi was speechless for a while: "Us? Are you not going to help?"
Xiao Yuxi asked: "Why should I contribute?"
"My mission is to protect His Highness. To put it bluntly, even this mission was made up by me at the beginning."
"But I promised Your Highness to protect her."
"At most, I can just take her with me when I sneak away!"
Ren Ruyi took a deep breath.
She felt that since she met Xiao Yuxi again, her blood pressure would rise several degrees every day.
"I have nothing to say." Ren Ruyi said this, stood up and left.
Xiao and Xi smiled and said nothing.
At the entrance of the canyon, there was a loud noise.
The cold wind was biting, and the horses' hooves stepped on the sand and stones, making a dull sound.
Zhou Jian led the army and appeared in the eyes of everyone.
They moved from far to near, breaking through layers of ambush, and the group of troops at the forefront was already in front of them.
The people from Liudaotang, together with a group of guards, jumped down from high places, catching them off guard.
Between the lights and shadows of swords, the sounds of fighting, shouting, and the collision of pig iron can be heard endlessly.
Yang Ying and Du Changshi hid behind a boulder.
Xiao and Xi flew towards them, trying to hide themselves.
Yang Ying was slightly surprised when she saw this, but she still pulled Xiao Yuxi over: "Quick, come here."
The center of the battlefield.
While playing, Yuanlu muttered something: "You shoot once, I shoot once, shoot a bird and make it a roast chicken."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder and fire bomb rolled to the feet of the enemy on the opposite side.
As his whistle sounded, the enemies were instantly blown away and buried in the fire and black smoke.
Qian Zhao used a broad and long knife to hold back several people, but unexpectedly someone attacked him from the side.
He couldn't spare any time.
Ren Ruyi arrived in time and relieved the crisis for him.
Sun Lang was surrounded and fell to the ground.
Yu Shisanyi was dressed in white, as if falling from the sky, looking chic and elegant.
On the other side, Xiao and Xi held the boulder in their hands and looked at it with great interest.
Yang Ying hid behind her, holding her arms with both hands, exposing only the upper half of her head.
At this moment, Xiao Yuxi frowned.
She looked back and saw a group of enemies wearing armor, holding swords and shields, coming towards her.
Xiao Yuxi sighed and said, "Oh, I've already hid it, but there are still people looking for it!"
She brushed Yang Ying's hand away and pushed her back: "Master Du, take good care of Your Highness."
After she finished speaking, she walked out slowly.
Du Changshi supported Yang Ying and told Xiao Yuxi's back: "Second Miss Xiao, be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, he was completely stunned.
Du Changshi looked at the scene in front of him with a look of shock on his face.
The same is true for Yang Ying.
Xiao Yuxi raised her hands, and with her as the center, all enemies within a ten-meter radius were instantly knocked away.
The sky was full of figures, accompanied by wailing sounds, and they hit the ground heavily, causing a cloud of dust to fly.
The people in Liudaotang and Ren Ruyi heard the noise and looked here at the same time.
Yuanlu was a little dumbfounded: "Damn it."
Qian Zhao was not too surprised: "She restrained herself."
Sun Lang almost dropped his jaw: "Is this called restraint?"
Yu Shisan swallowed: "I have decided that I will never provoke the second lady again!"
Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou stood back to back, resisting waves of attacks and approaching Zhou Jian's location.
The area around Xiao Yuxi was empty.
Ten meters away, most people who saw this scene dropped their armor.
"That's not a human being!"
"Demon-"
"There's a monster——"
"..."
Unfortunately, Zhou Jian's army numbered more than a thousand people.
People behind who had not seen this scene were still coming forward in a steady stream.
Ren Ruyi looked at Xiao and Xi across the sea of people.
Xiao Yuxi curled her lips and gave her an "Ok" gesture.
The two seemed to have an invisible tacit understanding, and there was no need to say anything at all.
Ning Yuanzhou eliminated the enemies on the ground.
Ren Ruyi flew up, ignoring the rain of arrows in the air, and headed straight for Zhou Jian.
At the same time, all the arrows fired from the enemy's hands seemed to suddenly become conscious, and they all changed directions and returned to the original path.
A large number of archers fell.
Not far behind Xiao Yuxi, Yang Ying ran out from behind the boulder in order to save a servant.
She rescued the chamberlain, but was captured by two enemies.
Xiao Yuxi turned around and looked.
With an indifferent expression, she raised her foot and kicked the hilt of a long sword on the ground.
The long sword's blade glowed with cold light as it broke through the wind.
An enemy's abdomen was penetrated by a long sword and he was nailed to the boulder.
Another enemy fell to the ground with an arrow stuck in his chest.
