The team continued walking towards the capital. It was relatively safe today, but Zhao Xuanyi did not feel relaxed at all. He looked around with wary eyes and was highly nervous!
The surrounding scenery is pretty good, with endless plains, picturesque mountains and flowing water, everything is quiet all around. Everyone walking on the green grassland is like walking into the forest of Alice in Wonderland, very peaceful. It was peaceful, but the more beautiful the scenery in front of him, the more uneasy Zhao Xuanyi felt!
Shen Wei saw Zhao Xuanyi's worry and drove his horse to Zhao Xuanyi's side: "Young Master, are you a little too nervous?"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "We have walked this road back and forth more than ten times, but we have never seen any wild beasts attacking us. It's just a small number of people. Generally speaking, wild beasts will scare away our team of a thousand people when they see it." Why do you still dare to be our enemy? Why do you think this is so wrong!"
Shen Wei thought about it carefully and nodded, "It's a little strange. It's a pity that we didn't bring the Qilin Guards! Although these guards are strong and have good skills, where are they? In this kind of wilderness, they are nothing more than a group of wild bulls." !”
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and turned to look at Tang Tianli, "How many grenades do you have left?"
Tang Tianli chuckled, "I asked Brother Shen to bring back a batch last time, and I still have more than thirty here!"
"Give me ten, give ten to Brother Shen, keep two, and give the rest to Zi Yuan and Han Yan!" Zhao Xuanyi said immediately.
"Yes!" Tang Tianli immediately opened the bag and gave all the grenades inside to those who knew how to use them!
Zhao Xuanyi got ten grenades, pinned two on his waist, and took the remaining eight. He drove his horse to the side of the white jade carriage, took out all eight grenades and distributed them to Zhu Yuejun's four maids. "Can you all use them?" "
"Yes! The eldest princess handed us over before!" Xilan held two grenades and couldn't put them down, playing with them in her hands!
"This is not a toy. Don't blow yourself up. Also, use this thing when you encounter a strong enemy. Don't throw it away when you see someone. I didn't bring much with you this time!" Zhao Xuanyi warned harshly!
"Don't worry, General Zhao, we know what's going on!" Nan Zhu said.
Zhao Xuanyi nodded and looked at the white jade carriage. Zhao Xuanyi did not go in. He had already tortured Zhu Yuejun enough in the morning. Let her rest in the afternoon. Then he kicked Aoxue in the stomach and quickly ran to the front of the team to check the surroundings. environment!
The day slowly passed, and night came quietly wearing that mysterious black cloak. But tonight the convoy did not rush to the next town, and everyone knew that they were spending the night in the wild.
Fortunately, the team carried sufficient equipment, and the military tent was quickly set up. Accompanied by several maids, Zhu Yuejun moved into the most beautiful military tent, while Zhao Xuanyi lived with Shen Wei, Tang Tianli and others. Together, marching outside, who can estimate so many?
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the surrounding terrain. The team was setting up camp on the top of a hill. The terrain was quite high and he could clearly overlook the surroundings. Under the moonlight, he could vaguely see the surroundings clearly!
"Tang Tianli, Brother Shen, you two should keep a vigil together. Nothing will happen at night!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! Don't worry, young master. If everything goes well, we will arrive in the capital at night tomorrow. Nothing will happen tonight!" Shen Wei said seriously.
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, and then came to Zi Yuan and Li Hanyan. Qinglian was still holding the child, but the child seemed not to be affected and had fallen asleep in Qinglian's arms!
Li Hanyan saw Zhao Xuanyi coming and walked over, "What's wrong?"
"Don't sleep too hard tonight!"
"Did you see something?"
"A feeling! Something feels wrong in my heart!"
After Li Hanyan heard this, she nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
Li Hanyan's words made Zhao Xuanyi feel safe. Apart from anything else, Li Hanyan's strength made Zhao Xuanyi feel at ease. He gently held Li Hanyan's hand and said, "If you work harder, I'll be back in the capital tomorrow!"
"Well! Where should we stay when we go back?" Li Hanyan's meaning is very simple. Should we go back to Tang Yanju or the General's Mansion?
"When the time comes, you can go back to the General's Mansion to accompany your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I'll do whatever you want!"
"But your safety?" Li Hanyan was very worried!
"Brother Shen is here, it's okay! Besides, the emperor has issued an edict for me to return to Beijing this time, so I guess they won't dare to do anything!"
"Okay!" Li Hanyan nodded and said.
Zhao Xuanyi left Li Hanyan's tent and patrolled the surrounding guards. When the guards saw Zhao Xuanyi, they all stood up and saluted, "General Zhao!"
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. You will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow. Let's fight again!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Don't worry, general!" Everyone knows that Zhao Xuanyi killed the crazy black bear today. Otherwise, no one dares to imagine the consequences. Even if the eldest princess is not injured, frightening Feng Jia is still a death penalty!
After a patrol, Zhao Xuanyi came to a place dozens of meters outside Zhu Yuejun's tent. He could go inside the carriage during the march. But in this situation, breaking into the tent at night would be a capital crime. Zhao Xuanyi sighed helplessly. He looked at it from a distance, turned around and left!
Zhao Xuanyi returned to the tent and saw that Shen Wei had already laid down to rest. Zhao Xuanyi didn't pay attention and just lay down on the ground beside him and started to rest. Come on, come here this night and you'll be fine!
Zhao Xuanyi was in a daze when he heard a loud shout outside. Zhao Xuanyi opened his eyes instantly, and Shen Wei on the side did the same. He grabbed the red gun and rushed out. Zhao Xuanyi pulled out his Tang Hengdao and rushed out. Come out!
"Where is the enemy!" Zhao Xuanyi asked loudly after running out of the tent.
At this moment, only thousands of guards were seen standing ready, and the formation spread out instantly. They were worthy of being a royal guard, they were professional. However, Zhao Xuanyi looked from a distance and saw a group of black shadows at the bottom of the mountain. It was too dark at night to see clearly. Zhao Xuanyi looked carefully. Even if you look at it, you can’t see clearly!
A wolf howled, and everyone heard it and suddenly broke into cold sweats. Then other wolves followed suit and howled. When all the guards heard this, they immediately became uneasy!
"It's a wolf, it's a pack of wolves!" a soldier shouted. As the soldier shouted timidly, the other guards began to become frightened. This group of imperial city guards usually had no chance to go far away. They encountered such wild animals. The wolves couldn’t help but feel fear in their hearts!
Such a riot naturally woke up Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun hurriedly got up, put on his cloak and came outside the tent. He saw four maids standing outside the tent guarding them with weapons in their hands.
"What happened? Are there any enemy troops?"
"Don't be afraid, Princess. It seems that we are surrounded by wolves instead of humans!"
"Wolves?" Zhu Yuejun turned pale with fright. He looked around and saw that his tent was surrounded by guards. Zhu Yuejun looked around, but could not see Zhao Xuanyi. "Zhao Xuan... where is General Zhao?"
"General Zhao is giving command in front of the formation. Princess, please come back to the tent. There are maids here!" the guard captain shouted loudly.
Zhu Yuejun glared at the man, "What are you still doing here? Go to the front of the battle line to defend yourself against the wild beasts!"
"Eldest Princess, there is no need to panic. My subordinates are not easily scared. They are just a pack of wolves...?"
"Go quickly!" Zhu Yuejun shouted loudly.
The captain of the guard was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "Yes, my subordinates, go check it out right now!" After the man finished speaking, he immediately pulled out the steel knife from his waist, "You will leave the guardian Princess Zhou Quan behind. I'll be back as soon as I go!"
"Yes!" shouted all the guards.
Zhao Xuanyi took a breath when he saw the appearance of these guards. "Don't be afraid, aren't they just a pack of wolves? Follow my orders, the vanguard will form an array, hurry!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted!
"Yes!" Hundreds of swordsmen and axemen held shields in front of the formation, forming a defensive formation!
"Archers, prepare!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Here!" Two hundred archers stood behind the shield bearer, each with their bows and arrows ready to meet the enemy!
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at the more than 200 cavalrymen behind him, and was so angry that he almost yelled, "Did you rent your horses? Come down here! Do you want to deliver food to hungry wolves on horseback? All of them are equipped with weapons. Fight with your body!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes!" All the cavalrymen dismounted, drew their weapons and prepared for close combat!
At this moment, Li Hanyan, Zi Yuan and others also came, holding weapons in their hands. "Husband, what's going on?"
"A pack of wolves!"
This is a common occurrence for Li Hanyan. She has encountered wolves at the border no less than a dozen times and is used to asking "How many?"
"I don't know yet! But...why do these wolves only surround themselves at the bottom of the mountain and don't come up?" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"I'll go over and have a look!" After Li Hanyan said that, she walked forward with Fang Tian's painted halberd!
Zhao Xuanyi grabbed Li Hanyan and said, "There are so many people here, what risk do you take? Tang Tianli, shoot a few rockets for me, and let me see what's going on down the mountain?"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli pulled out the Tianyi Bow from his back, set three arrows in one hand, lit it, looked at the wind direction, and then shot into the sky!
The three rockets instantly split into three groups in the air, piercing the dark night sky with brilliant flames. After drawing a beautiful arc, they landed on the ground! The tung oil on the head of the arrow also ignited the surrounding ground!
Three small flames ignited instantly, illuminating an area under the mountain instantly. It was okay not to look at it, but everyone lost their composure and saw about hundreds of wild wolves at the foot of the mountain!
They have thick hair, well-developed muscles, and there is saliva in their huge canine mouths. It seems that everyone on the mountain is their midnight snack today. It turns out that they are impatient!
Then there was a dim flame, and only hundreds of pairs of green eyes were seen swaying, looking like will-o'-the-wisps at night. The eyes that emitted ghosts had locked onto the people on the mountain. They were ownerless souls, preparing to hunt. Kill these cowardly humans.
After Zhao Xuanyi saw it, his scalp went numb for a while. He had never seen such a large pack of wolves. If the Qilin Guards were there, he would have no worries. But these guards? I guess they can fight with people, but if they fight with these beasts, something will happen!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Tianli who was aside, "Take a few people and bring all the cooking oil in the team, including tung oil. Quick!"
"Yes! You guys come with me!" Tang Tianli left with a dozen men!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanyan, "You can go to the eldest princess, but you must keep the eldest princess safe!"
"What about you?"
"I'm fine. If something happens to the eldest princess, we don't have to live anymore! Go quickly! Ziyuan will follow and put Qinglian and the child on. I'm here!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
Li Hanyan looked at the situation and left with Ziyuan and Litchi!
"Everyone, light all the torches, as many as you can. Don't let these beasts think that we have fewer people! Otherwise, they will attack immediately, quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly lit all the torches. More than 600 torches were all lit, and the entire hillside immediately became bright. This number also seemed to frighten the wild wolves at the bottom of the mountain, and they kept howling from their mouths. Neither attack nor retreat!
Li Hanyan came outside Zhu Yuejun's tent. Zhu Yuejun saw Li Hanyan coming and asked hurriedly, "Where is General Zhao? Isn't he here?"
"Eldest Princess, my husband is fighting against the wolves. Please rest assured, Eldest Princess, my subordinates will definitely protect your safety!" Li Hanyan shouted!
"You? Me?" Zhu Yuejun was very anxious, but she didn't dare to say it, otherwise others would know that she was worried about Zhao Xuanyi, otherwise she would be in big trouble!
At the bottom of the mountain, a black figure was hidden among the wolves. His eyes were fixed on the situation on the hills. Seeing that the time was almost up, the man suddenly made a strange cry!
When everyone in the wolf pack heard this sound, they all raised their heads and howled in unison. Hundreds of wild wolves howled together. The sound made the earth tremble and frightened the guards.
Then the entire wolf pack quickly launched an attack on this group of people. Hundreds of wild wolves quickly rushed towards the hills, preparing to fight to the death with this group of people. When Zhao Xuanyi saw this situation, he did not care about the others and "shoot arrows!"
