On the wide official road, more than 2,700 people quietly watched the young man walking in the middle of the horse.
The rolling mountains looked like sleeping giants in the moonlight, and where Chen Kan was, a trail branched off from the official road and disappeared into the rolling mountains.
According to the news from Mu Sheng's personal guard, the Buddha is most likely to appear from here, so Chen Kan led his people to wait here.
As long as the information is accurate and based on the terrain here, Chen Kan can guarantee that none of the White Lotus followers will be able to reach Longshou Pass alive.
The moonlight quietly disappeared, Chen Kan looked at the sky, waved his hand, and his soldiers disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Chen Kan took a long breath and hid himself in the forest.
At dawn, the soldiers in the mountains and forests are like cheetahs ready to attack. As soon as the prey appears, they will transform into the sharpest hunters and tear every prey into pieces.
When the first White Lotus cultist emerged from the long trail, Chen Kan held his breath.
I saw the White Lotus cultist looking around on the official road, then waving to the path, followed by the second, third...
Hundreds of people poured out of the trail, and the wide official road was blocked.
They are the advance troops of Buddha, responsible for stationing on the official road. Once they find a passing caravan, they will instantly transform into evil wolves.
It's a pity that they don't have this opportunity now!
"kill!"
The shouts of killing resounded across the sky, and the White Lotus cultists who had just walked out of the forest were still a little confused.
Didn't Buddha tell them that there would be no danger in this trip?
What happened to the imperial army that suddenly appeared?
Until now, they naively thought that it was just Buddha's guess that was wrong.
But the truth is that Buddha has already given up on them!
Chen Kan took the lead and charged into the confused White Lotus cultists.
But after all, the White Lotus cultists are not docile, but fierce people.
Soon, the White Lotus cultists on the official road were organized in an orderly manner and began to deal with the army's counterattack.
"kill!"
"Leave no one behind!"
The flag was waved, and the soldiers who rushed into the enemy's formation instantly burst into overwhelming shouts of killing.
The exhausted White Lotus cultists encountered the powerful Ming Dynasty Tiger Ben, and no matter how hard they resisted, it was in vain.
The shouts of killing and the screams were mixed together, making people feel as if they had stepped into the depths of purgatory.
It only took Chen Kan's two hundred elite cavalry a few minutes to kill and penetrate the enemy formation.
The battle situation reached a fever pitch in just an instant.
The sharp-eyed White Lotus cultists recognized Chen Kan's identity and tried their best to kill in Chen Kan's direction, but the numerical disadvantage could not be made up for by bravery.
As soon as he turned around, several spears were pierced into his body.
Suddenly turning into a hedgehog, he could only let out an inconspicuous scream among the crowd, and then collapsed heavily.
The wide official road turned into a Shura field, and the scene of blood and flesh flying around did not cause any discomfort to Chen Kan. Chen Kan casually opened up a severed arm that flew to him, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"Sir, there is no trace of Buddha and Miss Ajin."
Fang Xu and Zhang San, who had been reduced to bloody gourds, were closely guarding Chen Kan on both sides.
With more than two thousand people fighting against hundreds of people, the situation was already one-sided.
But the strange thing is that no one found Ajin and Fozi in the crowd, and even the woman in Chen Kan's imagination did not appear.
"Follow me!"
Chen Kan realized that his interception and killing of Fozi here was likely to be leaked out in advance.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter, rescuing Ajin is the most important thing at the moment.
Seeing Duan Cong fighting in the distance, Chen Kan turned his horse's head without hesitation and continued to kill towards the formation.
When the infantry met the cavalry, there was almost no possibility of fighting back. Even though the elite cavalry under Chen Kan could not launch a real charge, they still quickly broke out of a vacuum.
When he reached Duan Cong, Chen Kan didn't stop at all and loudly confessed: "No one will be spared!"
Then he rode his horse into the mountain forest path.
As soon as Chen Kan entered the mountain forest, he met a scout team.
When the leading soldier saw Chen Kan, his face was overjoyed. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Sir, the Buddha and the saint fled deep into the mountains and forests. The commander has already led people to chase them."
"lead the way!"
Chen Kan didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out his hand to pull the soldier onto the war horse. Fortunately, Chen Kan's war horses were powerful prairie horses. Two grown men were riding on it, and they had to run on the rugged path. An ordinary horse would have been overwhelmed.
The other soldiers learned the lesson and pulled the remaining soldiers onto their horses.
At this time, everyone was covered in blood and flesh, and it was hard to say who disliked whom, not to mention that no matter how slow a horse ran, it was still faster than a human.
After the soldier got on the horse, he began to show Chen Kan the way. In less than half an hour, everyone chased him into a canyon full of corpses.
"Sir, these people are the White Lotus believers who died in the hands of our brothers. The Buddha has gone into the mountains and forests. We have to abandon our horses and leave."
The soldier gave a simple explanation, and Chen Kan didn't waste any time. He jumped off his horse and asked, "Where are we going?"
The soldier identified it, pointed to the mark left on a tree and said, "Here."
Drilling in the woods is a familiar route for Chen Kan and his men. They developed the ability to drill in the woods when they went to Shuzhong, and they drilled in the woods every day after coming to Yunnan.
After the soldier pointed out the direction, everyone abandoned their horses and followed the soldier into the mountains.
"Sir, they have no horses, and the commander and his men are always involved in their whereabouts. They must not have gone far."
"Chase!"
Chen Kan interrupted his nonsense. Whatever he could think of, Chen Kan could also think of it.
Even Chen Kan could think that Fozi was bringing two women with him, and the two women would definitely slow down his journey greatly.
Facts have proved that what Chen Kan expected was exactly right. As soon as they chased into the woods and burned a stick of incense, everyone met Mu Sheng's personal guards.
Mu Sheng's personal guards seemed to have encountered something difficult to decide, and everyone had angry looks on their faces.
Chen Kan ran forward quickly and found that Mu Sheng's personal guards had surrounded a man and a woman.
The man among them was less than five feet tall, but his arms were very long, long enough to hang down to his knees.
The man tied the woman's hands with a rope and pushed her to the ground.
The old enemies who have been fighting for a long time finally meet each other, but in such a scene, it is inevitable to make people sigh.
As soon as Chen Kan arrived, the soldiers seemed to have found a backbone. The leader of Mu Sheng's bodyguard, the commander of the soldiers, approached Chen Kan and frowned: "Sir, this person is Buddha, Miss Ajin is in his hands, brothers dare not act rashly."
Chen Kan pushed aside the crowd and saw Buddha trampling Ajin under his feet very arrogantly, shouting: "Come on, aren't you very capable? I want to see if you can kill me before I kill her." killed."
When Ah Dao, who was following Chen Kan, saw this, his eyes were bloodshot and dilated.
"Dad, save me!"
At this moment, Ah Jin who was on the ground suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and two lines of tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, her little head was stepped on by Buddha.
Ah Jin let out a muffled groan, and when he raised his head again, his face was already covered with blood and dirt.
"Akin!"
"Daddy is here!"
Ah Dao suddenly panicked. His daughter was right in front of him, yet he was being abused like this. Ah Dao's heart felt like it had been severely gouged out by some sharp weapon.
At that moment, he had to rush out and fight the Buddha regardless.
"calm!"
Chen Kan grabbed his sleeve, and when he saw that the castration was blocked, Ah Dao, a majestic seven-foot-tall man, burst into tears instantly.
"Sir, please, save Ajin, I am just a daughter, please!"
When Buddha saw this, his face became even more arrogant. He looked at Chen Kan with a mocking expression on his face.
"You are Chen Kan. I thought you had three heads and six arms, but it turns out you are just a pretty boy."
"you......"
Chen Kan was humiliated, and all the guards became angry instantly.
"Shut up!"
Chen Kan looked at his bodyguards with cold eyes and signaled them to be silent. Although the bodyguards were not angry, they had no choice but to hold back the curse words that came out of his mouth when faced with Chen Kan's cold face.
Chen Kan took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Buddha and said, "Yes, I am Chen Kan. I have heard about Buddha's name for a long time, and today I finally met him. I never thought that Xi Buddha, who was so famous in Shu, was actually just a man of short height. A five-foot-long dwarf really cannot be judged by his appearance."
Hearing the word dwarf in Chen Kan's mouth, a trace of anger flashed across Fozi's face, but he did not get angry, but said calmly: "You want to save this little girl, right? You can, let me go, and I will save her." Back to you!"
"Can!"
Chen Kan agreed to Fozi's conditions without hesitation.
Hearing this, Fang Xu's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at Chen Kan and whispered: "Sir, it is not wise to let the tiger return to the mountains. You must not be benevolent as a woman. You are just a native woman."
As soon as he said this, Fang Xu received a look of hatred.
Mu Sheng's personal guards also looked at Chen Kan. They had been following Fozi for so long, crossing mountains and ridges, and had killed more than a dozen brothers in the mountains.
Now it seems that the Buddha is about to be crowned.
If they let the tiger go back to the mountain because of a native woman, although they would not say anything, they would inevitably look down upon the young imperial envoy in their hearts.
Chen Kan ignored everyone's reaction, but looked at Buddha and said, "I can agree to your conditions and let you go safely, but you must first hand over Ajin to me."
Chen Kan's move was helpless. Now Fozi already knew the importance of Ah Jin. He had hostages in his hands, but Chen Kan had no snipers, not even archers.
In the dense forest, bows and arrows not only took up space, but also had no effect. They were not as practical as the knives in their hands, so Chen Kan's men and Mu Sheng's personal guards did not carry them.
When Buddha heard this, he looked at Chen Kan with an expression that looked like he was a fool.
