"drive!"
"drive!"
More than a hundred knights galloped on the ancient road. The leader looked gloomy. The knights behind him also had tattered armors and even several eye-catching scars!
"Luo Yuan!"
"exist!"
"This king returned in embarrassment, and all his soldiers were wiped out. In your opinion, what are the gains and losses?"
"Your Majesty!"
The young general known as Luo Yuan pondered for a moment, speeded up and walked side by side with King Xu, and said loudly: "General Yi Mo, it may not be a perfect time to retire after having achieved success!"
"Now, the princes are gathering at Jiuchong Pass, and the troops of Dali Kingdom are approaching the city. It is bound to be a fierce battle!"
"Dali's cavalry are far superior to us in terms of combat power and armor and weapons. We may not be able to get any benefits from fighting with them."
"yes!"
There was a smile on King Xu's face. After looking at Luo Yuan, he smiled lightly and said: "The soldiers I brought out this time are all the soldiers recruited from the Western Jue. Staying in our army will only be a disaster." !”
"Now, I can use Dali's hand to solve this hidden danger. If I retreat now, I can leave all the princes speechless!"
"You even owe me a favor. This is a good deal!"
The smile on King Xu's face was particularly bright, and he continued: "Besides, now that all the princes are gathered at Jiuchong Pass, after I go back, I can also make some plans. It would be better if Dali can attack. ."
"The King of Qi is powerful, but he is the first to bear the brunt. If he can keep all the troops and horses brought by the princes, it will be like God's help."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Luo Yuan also showed some admiration on his face. After a moment, he asked again: "Your Majesty, we only have more than a hundred riders under our command now. Will the King of Chu attack us at this time?"
"rest assured!"
A look of pride appeared on King Xu's face, and he said lightly: "I have made arrangements in advance. Forty miles ahead, I have hidden three thousand fine armors, and I will return with us then."
"Your Majesty has no plans left, and my subordinates admire him!"
"Luo Yuan, you must remember that King Chu is not worthy of being my enemy. At best, he is just a stepping stone. The person I fear the most is King Qi!"
"King Qi?"
There was a hint of doubt on Luo Yuan's face, while King Xu's face showed a bit of solemnity. He nodded slightly and said, "Behind King Qi... is that sect!"
"There is a dense forest ahead, brothers, please be vigilant."
"promise!"
More than a hundred riders rushed into the ancient road in the dense forest. Luo Yuan looked at both sides with vigilant eyes and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is something strange in the dense forest here."
"It doesn't matter!"
King Xu looked calm and said: "When we came out, we turned back at full speed. Even if King Chu intentionally did something wrong, he would not be faster than us."
"Whoosh!"
A sound broke through the air, and a cold light suddenly shot towards King Xu's figure. Luo Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shouted: "My lord, be careful!"
"Keng!"
There was a sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, and King Xu's eyes flashed with coldness. He slashed out with his sword, directly knocking down the incoming arrows, and shouted: "Who dares to ambush this king here?"
"Protect the prince!"
"quick!"
Luo Yuan also raised the long sword in his hand and guarded King Xu tightly. He said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, this jungle is too dense. Why don't we leave for now?"
"no!"
King Xu shook his head directly and said in a deep voice: "This is the only way to return. The longer it is delayed, the more things will happen. Send the order and pass it on at full speed."
"promise!"
Luo Yuan gave an order, and the knights behind him all sped up. There seemed to be no movement in the dense forest, and everything returned to calm.
"Your Majesty, he should be an assassin. He will retreat quickly if he misses a hit!"
"Don't be careless!"
King Xu's expression became more solemn. He held the reins in one hand and looked towards the jungle. He said solemnly: "Since they decided to take action, how could it be so simple?"
"It's just that I can't guess who it is for the moment!"
"Your Majesty, only the princes know the news of our return, and among the princes, only the King of Chu will fight to the death with us. The King of Chu is naturally the most likely!"
"Um!"
King Xu's eyes became very deep, but he did not continue to speak.
"Whoosh!"
There was another sound of breaking through the air, but this time it was not one, but an overwhelming rain of arrows coming from all directions. Unprepared, the knights behind King Xu fell off their horses.
"Defend the enemy!"
"My lord, be careful!"
"You rush into the dense forest and kill the assassin!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, a group of knights waved their weapons and rushed towards the dense forest. Not long after, the sound of breaking through the air gradually stopped, followed by screams.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
A series of iron ropes swept out from the dense forest and wrapped directly on the ancient trees on the roadside, completely blocking the cavalry guarding King Xu. Dozens of black-clad men stepped on the iron chains and held three-foot daggers in their hands. Come!
King Xu was startled when he saw this group of black attires. Their heads were covered with veils, their feet were wrapped in black cloth, and they were wearing black cloaks. Each of them held a short sword and walked on the iron chain. There was no trace of it under the shaking. Make any noise!
"Your Majesty!"
"Don't be anxious, just follow my orders!"
"Fight out together."
Luo Yuan's expression was particularly solemn. These killers were full of evil spirits. They were obviously experienced in killing for a long time, and their light skills were far from ordinary masters. Although the knights beside the prince were also elites drawn from the guard camp. , but they are soldiers or pawns after all!
"kill!"
The leader in black uttered a word coldly, without any unnecessary words, and there was no emotion in his pupils. He looked at the knights as if they were looking at a group of dead objects.
"puff!"
"ah!!"
"Escort!"
"Quick, get out!"
I saw the group of black-clothed men rushing to the front of the formation, their bodies swept away, and with the flashes of cold light, the war horses neighed one after another, and their legs were cut off directly, and they fell down.
In just a short moment, there were only a dozen riders left beside King Xu. Eye-catching knife marks appeared on various vital points of the human body, most of which were fatal blows!
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, King Xu also felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He stared at the leader in black: "Although I don't know who you are, I know that you are definitely not from King Chu. !”
"The King of Chu will never have such elite men under his command, otherwise..."
"hehe!"
King Xu smiled as if he was mocking himself, as if he was aware that he had no chance of surviving.
"Can you tell me who sent you here?"
"Even if it means death, can you make me a wise man?"
The black-clothed men seemed like a group of emotionless puppets. No one answered him, or even looked at him. They just kept harvesting the knights around King Xu!
