"Qian Zhao, you will be in charge of the middle road." Ning Yuanzhou stood tall and gave orders one by one.
"Ding Hui."
"exist."
"Later, you can take His Royal Highness Prince Li, Master Du, and Dr. Yuan to a safe place behind the valley to hide."
"yes."
Qian Zhao looked at the woman next to him. The girl who usually smiled had a serious face at the moment. Today was a special situation. She was not as delicate as before, her bun was loose, and she looked like a broken beauty. "Don't worry, you don't know martial arts, just hide behind."
The handsome man still looked expressionless, but she could clearly see the concern in his eyes, and Yuan Qingyuan felt warm in her heart.
"I'm worried about you." For her now, this is a real world, and the people around her have flesh and blood and emotions. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and life and death are unpredictable. During this time, we eat, drink, live and travel together. After getting along for a while, how could we remain indifferent?
The usually smiling peach blossom eyes met his gaze without escaping, and those eyes were full of worry. This was the first time that Qian Zhao truly felt Yuan Qingyuan's friendship for him. The emotions in their hearts were ups and downs. In this battle, they faced sixty people against a thousand people, and their life or death was unknown. If so, we can get out of Tianxing Gorge safely...
"Yuan Qingniao..." Some words were about to come out, but they were suppressed by reason.
"Qian Zhao, please be safe, I hope you are all alive!" The girl looked serious.
Qian Zhao raised his lips and said, "Okay."
When the man next to him smiled, he looked even better. "You should smile more."
"I'll try my best." He was used to keeping calm and covering up many emotions with an expressionless face.
Ren Ruyi handed Yang Ying a dagger and taught Yang Ying how to protect herself. Then she looked at Yuan Qingxiao and said, "You have some ability to protect yourself, so be careful."
"I know, and you should be careful." Now is not the time to talk too much. Du Changshi closed his eyes and recited my Buddha's mercy. Yuan Qingyuan was speechless. He didn't usually see Mr. Du reciting it, so what's the use of cramming him?
She has never believed in this, so instead of begging the gods for mercy, it would be better to take up arms herself.
At this time, a signal bomb shot into the air. Ning Yuanzhou looked at the smoke in the sky, "What did Yu Shisan do? It was half a stick of incense later than expected."
"I just prepared some cold medicine with Dr. Yuan and asked him to put it in the ditch next to the fork in the road. The army has traveled thousands of miles and must be exhausted. When they see the water source while waiting at the fork, they will be impatient. There are still rivers downstream. There are common people, so I won't poison them, but at least it can weaken their four powers." Yuan Qingyao originally suggested using poison, which she had, but Qian Zhao thought about it and refused.
Everyone was preparing weapons. Yuan Qingyuan thought for a while and finally went to find Sun Lang. Since the plot book allowed her to participate in this battle, she could use her own abilities to try to protect these people she was familiar with. .
"Brother Lang, do you still have bows and arrows? I know archery." Sun Lang looked at Yuan Qingxiao in surprise. After a few days of contact, Yuan Qingxiao was just a delicate and weak little lady in his eyes.
"Qingxiao, you'd better hide behind with His Highness." In the past few days, he had to call out to them whenever he wanted to catch a bird. Sun Lang was really worried about giving her a bow and arrow, fearing that she would accidentally miss it and hit one of his own. what to do?
Sun Lang didn't believe it. Yuan Qingyuan couldn't perform it for him on the spot. He could only wait until the time came and act by ear on the battlefield.
At this time, Ren Ruyi came over and looked at the dagger stuck in her belt. "Where did you get your dagger?"
Since she hurt Yuan Qingniao without asking any questions last time, Ren Ruyi is now getting along with Yuan Qingniao. Even though she is full of doubts, she is much calmer.
"This? I saved a woman five years ago, and this is my reward." This dagger is still sharp, and I don't know what material it is made of. Accompanying her to explore the world for five years, she sealed it away after becoming a female doctor. Unexpectedly, she took it out again today.
five years ago? woman? Ren Ruyi had a vague guess in his mind. If that was the case, she would have to thank Yuan Qingniao properly, but everything would have to wait until the battle was over.
"Qingniao, please take good care of those kittens and puppies!" Although he had always wanted to instigate Yuanbao, Sun Lang knew that Yuan Qingniao was very loving to small animals. He often fed cats and dogs with him, and sometimes cooked meals with him. , I will get some for the kittens and puppies by the way.
"Brother Lang, protect yourself!" Yuan Qingyuan nodded, told Sun Lang, and followed Yang Ying and the others to the back of the valley.
The sounds of people and horses in the distance were getting closer and closer, and everyone looked tense. When the smoke cleared, nearly a hundred people had been killed in the trap Genroku had set at the entrance of the valley.
When the advance troops led by him had rushed over, Ren Ruyi accurately threw the medicine bottle over the army. Ning Yuanzhou shot out a hidden weapon, breaking the bottle and causing the medicine powder to scatter. In just a few breaths, there were more than ten or twenty people. .
it works! He and Ren Ruyi looked at each other and repeated their old tricks. The two of them moved very quickly, and the army that rushed over fell in large numbers. Zhou Jian reacted promptly and shouted loudly: "Back off!"
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi seized the time and threw all the medicine bottles out. Although they did not achieve the expected effect, they still killed more than a hundred people.
After the powder was gone, Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi rushed over first.
The war was about to break out. Qian Zhao looked at the figure hiding outside the canyon and followed without hesitation, carrying a big knife. He had to fight with all his strength because behind him was the person he wanted to protect.
Yuan Qingyao and the others hid behind the hills outside the canyon, and saw that the fighting was in full swing inside the canyon. There are only a few people on the mission's side, and Qian Zhao and the others cannot stop everyone, and there are many fish that have slipped through the net and come this way.
"Niao Niao, can you participate in this battle?" Yuan Bao could also see the situation here from the cage. He watched his shovel fighting hard with big dog eyes, and he felt a little anxious in his heart.
"Yes, I will protect them!" Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, and he stabilized himself with his ability.
"There is a young lady here! Where is Prince Li!" The leading soldier was the first to find Yuan Qingniao hiding in the front, and he raised his knife and was about to strike her.
At this time, Ding Hui came across from the diagonal and blocked him with a knife. The two were in a stalemate. Yuan Qingniao swung out a short needle and penetrated most of the man's neck, causing the man to fall to the ground instantly.
"Your Highness!" Another soldier came over and chased Yang Ying. Yuan Qingxiao quickly took out a short needle from the sleeve and shot it out. The man staggered and fell to the ground. Yang Ying turned around and saw the blade raised high behind Yuan Qingniao, and shouted anxiously, "Sister Niao Niao! Be careful!"
Sensing the strong wind behind her, Yuan Qingyao ducked sideways, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and inserted her backhand between the waist and abdomen of her attacker.
Although she has no internal strength, her physical fitness is strong, and she can use those previous moves without any sluggishness.
Seeing that both Dr. Yuan and the other women were raising their weapons, Du Changshi recited a few words of "My Buddha's Mercy", tremblingly picked up a bow, and shot an arrow, directly shooting away the soldiers pressing on Ding Hui.
"Sister Ruyi!" It was Yuan Lu's voice. Yuan Qingyuan turned around and reacted very quickly. He threw the knife in his hand and hit the back of the person who was about to hit Ren Ruyi with the knife.
Ren Ruyi wiped the blood from his mouth, looked at the white figure exposed in the valley over there, and continued fighting with the knife.
Yuan Qingniao killed several people in a row, and there were no enemies in their area for the time being. Yuan Qingniao picked up the bow and arrow, and quickly called the servant to get the quiver. Then he turned over neatly and stood on a big rock, holding his breath, and shot an arrow. Shoot out.
Two knives were placed on Sun Lang's shield. The three of them were in a stalemate. They heard a sound in the air and a sharp arrow struck. One of them fell down. Sun Lang's pressure suddenly decreased. He withdrew his shield and pushed out the edge of the sharp blade. Passing another man's neck, he looked back and saw the woman in white on the boulder drew her bow again and hit Yuanlu's back attacker. This accuracy is no worse than Yu Shisan! I thought Qingniao was joking with him.
Qian Zhao was pinned down by four people and couldn't move. He only heard a few whizzing sounds, and immediately knocked down two people. With one force, he drew his knife and swung it back, killing the other two people. When he caught a glimpse of the woman standing on the boulder, concentrating on shooting arrows, her flying hair was filled with a biting coldness that could kill someone.
Seeing that there was no danger here, the servants cleverly collected arrows and stuffed them into their quivers. Yuan Qing kept curling his hands and shot out one arrow after another. Wherever someone was in danger, she would draw her bow and shoot, almost never missing an arrow.
Five people besieged Ren Ruyi, and the battle situation at Ning Yuanzhou was also tense. Several more arrows were fired at him, and Ren Ruyi wiped the necks of the remaining three people with a knife.
A sharp-eyed soldier noticed Yuan Qingxiao's anomaly and raised his bow to aim at the woman. The girl noticed him and immediately jumped off the stone to hide.
"Kill the little lady who shoots the arrow first!" Someone was about to rush over with a knife raised. Yuan Qingxiao was not afraid in the face of danger and continued to draw her bow. She was very fast and shot the man directly through the heart. The man fell to the ground on his back, followed by Qian Zhao who came to save her with a knife. The two looked at each other and then fought separately.
Zhou Jian has been famous for a long time and is not a reckless person. Seeing that they could not attack for a long time, they already wanted to retreat.
The battle continued, and Yuan Qing's bow-drawing hand was already shaking a little as he shot another soldier who wanted to sneak attack Ren Ruyi. She has no internal strength and relies solely on brute strength, and now her physical strength is almost exhausted.
Seeing Sun Lang fall to the ground during the struggle, several soldiers tried to stab him with their spears. Yuan Qingxiao pulled out the arrow and shot it away.
She was not strong enough to fire four arrows at once, and she was anxious. "Lango!"
At this time, a man in white clothes fell from the sky and shot a few short arrows. Sun Lang sat up and looked at the person. "Could you have come any later?"
With the addition of Yu Shisan, everyone's pressure has been reduced a lot. Yuan Qingniao's fingers were already stained with blood. She looked at the red and black figures over there, praying that the two men would move quickly, catch the thief first and capture the king first, and break through Zhou Jian's defense.
The sounds of fighting and killing in the canyon resounded through the sky, and everyone was beginning to be exhausted. It was a battlefield that was either your death or my death, and they could only fight desperately.
"His Royal Highness Prince Li is on an envoy under the emperor's order. Zhou Jian has disobeyed the traitor and has been captured. Why don't you put down your weapons quickly! I will forgive you for the death penalty!" Ning Yuanzhou's voice came, and Yuan Qing looked at the black and red people standing there. The two people on the hill, one on the left and the other on the right, put their swords on Zhou Jian's neck. Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou were really strong!
The remaining two hundred people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Zhou Jian's life was hijacked and he closed his eyes without saying a word. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Today, he underestimated the enemy. Seeing Zhou Jian's behavior, the soldiers put down their swords one after another and stopped resisting.
Yang Ying, who was hiding behind, was helped out by Du Changshi. The little girl was filled with tears and was emotionally shaken. I couldn't help but cheer, "Win! We won! Sister Niao Niao! We won!"
"Win! Win!" The whole valley echoed with a roar. Everyone looked at the two figures on the hill, as if they were devout believers.
