Chapter 70: Ambush
On the afternoon of 11 July, everyone rested in Xingcheng and expected to return to Kangping Town in the evening. At that time, the task of Lingshan and the five people of Xueyinlou will be over.
After Lingshan, there were fewer and fewer people in the rivers and lakes, and there were more and more officers and soldiers in the imperial court. With the strength of the Xie family and the Xu family, there should be no more danger on the way back to Beijing.
On the road between Xingcheng and Kangning Town, there are several small villages. The village is surrounded by sorghum and corn, which is ripe and not yet harvested.
Just as they passed a path covered with sorghum on both sides, a fire broke out in the surrounding sorghum fields.
The fire came with thick smoke, and a group of people were suddenly trapped in the flames. However, this does not end there......
"Hold your breath! Smoke is poisonous!!"
Mu Zhifu shouted, but it was still too late.
Bang - Bang -
The sound of guards falling from their horses could already be heard all around.
Almost at the same time, a rain of arrows burst through the air.
For a while, in the team, the screams were endless.
Xiao Jinhan immediately protected Mu Zhifu behind him, for fear that she would be injured.
Mu Zhifu bypassed him and struggled to knock out the arrow shot at Xie Nianjun, she hadn't forgotten why she came out this time.
However, look at Xie Nianjun again...... He is doing his best to protect the guard he hired, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.
Xie Nianjun felt bitter in his heart! What did he say before? He hired the eldest prince to be his guard, and if something happened, he would have to block the guard's sword...... He's right?!
If you want to say which one is stronger in extinguishing fires, it must be the sword soul of the senior brother - the Dragon King of the Northern Regions.
However, the other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and attacked the senior brother with the most arrows, so that he didn't have a chance to use the move at all.
Just when everyone was in a state of embarrassment, the raging fire within a radius of ten miles suddenly seemed to be alive, gathered into pillars of fire and rose to the sky, and then gathered in one place in the sky, falling in the direction of Mu Zhifu......
Princess Yao was startled by the scene in front of her. hurriedly retreated, trying to dodge, but was stopped and hugged from behind......
"Don't be afraid. The cold voice was gentle and seemed to soothe people's hearts.
The attacking enemy seemed to be stunned by the sudden surprise, and the rain of arrows almost stopped.
Everyone saw that a huge pillar of fire fell beside Mu Zhifu and a few others, and the flames were soaring into the sky, scorching and dazzling, making it impossible for people to look directly.
After a moment, the fire that rushed to the ground disappeared, as if there was a bottomless pit there, engulfing it.
Mu Zhifu looked down at the place where the pillar of fire disappeared, and a fiery red pig was smiling at her excitedly...... That proud little look, the cliff is showing off!
Fire Kirin: I'm amazing, right? Isn't it awesome??Isn't it dazzling??? Praise me!!Praise me!!
Belch...... Under that strong expectant gaze, Mu Zhifu squatted down helplessly and touched the head of the little fire pig. "Wow, you're amazing!!What's your name?"
Fire Qilin: Yang Yan! It was given to me by the Holy Maiden of the Protoss a long time ago!
However, the ancient holy beast Fire Qilin is a god of sorrow...... At this moment, Xiu Wei was suppressed and couldn't speak.
Mu Zhifu looked back at Xiao Jinhan, and the prince was stunned...... He didn't think about it!
"I haven't named him, or you can give it one. ”
"Shall I take it?" Mu Zhifu wanted to refuse, but in an instant, she thought of a very suitable name!, "Are you sure you want me to take it?"
Xiao Jinhan curled the corners of his lips slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed. "Well, you can take it. ”
What's mine is yours.
Mu Zhifu smiled slyly: "Then it's called ...... Nail the rake!"
"Nail rake?" Xiao Jinhan was a little puzzled, but she was happy. "Yes!"
A certain princess laughed in her heart: Hahahaha, the second senior brother's nail rake!
The fire unicorn was not happy, the deity was Yang Yan! Yang Yan!!, but all everyone heard was: "Hmph, hum, hum!!"
In this tense situation, the little fire pig has a new name, called the nail rake! It has been called this until the day when a certain prince heard a story called "Journey to the West" from the mouth of a little junior sister, and then turned his face......
In a few words, the enemy also came back to his senses from the shock - in Xie Nianjun's team, someone had contracted a fire-attribute summoned beast or big demon.
If the fire attack doesn't work, then fight it! They had put poisonous weeds in the sorghum fields, and when burned, these poisonous weeds would produce poisonous smoke and make people faint. The guards of the Xie family, there are few left who can stand up at this time.
As soon as the leader of the enemy side gave an order, forty or fifty black-clothed people poured out from all directions and came straight towards Xie Nianjun.
To everyone's surprise, these forty or fifty people not only cultivated quite highly, but also played very badly.
"It's a dead man!" Xie Nianjun frowned deeply.
Their group was not badly cultivated, and if they hadn't been poisoned, he might not have worried. But now he himself is dizzy, and he thinks about others similarly.
Sure enough, as he expected. After a cup of tea, both sides suffered heavy losses. There were less than ten guards left in the Xie family, five people in Xueyinlou were injured one after another, and Xu Changan was even hit by a sword, and the blood flowed like a ......
But the strange thing is that these black-clothed people will not kill Song Yunjie and Song Yunzhou!
After Xie Nianjun found out about this incident, he no longer worried about the eldest prince, and led the rest of the people to fight back with all his might.
Song Yunjie's eyelids jumped, this is definitely not a good thing!
"Who are you?"
He shouted angrily in the middle of the fight, but the other party didn't mean to answer him.
After a stick of incense, the man in black gradually lost his hand, and he was about to be captured alive. Among them, the person closest to Xie Nianjun suddenly turned red, and a strange light flashed. He ignored the sharp blade in front of him and pounced towards Xie Nianjun.
"Oh no! He's going to blow himself up!"
With an exclamation, Jiang Li desperately blocked in front of Xie Nianjun.
Bang –
With a loud bang, the majestic spiritual power shook out in the air. Blood and flesh flew everywhere at the source of the epicenter, and in the fields of crops on both sides of the road, charred sorghum splashed in all directions, and even the ground trembled.
Before the person blew himself up, Xiao Jinhan flashed and protected Mu Zhifu in his arms, and released his spiritual power to block the fluctuations of the man's self-detonation.
After a few breaths, everything returned to calm.
Self-detonation is an indiscriminate attack. This time, there were casualties on both sides.
Two guards of the Xie family and a man in black were seriously injured and dying. There were also a few people with minor injuries, not too serious. Only Jiang Li, whose stomach was blurred with flesh and blood, fainted in Xie Nianjun's arms.
Xie Nianjun's mood at the moment was very complicated, and Jiang Li's behavior moved him very much. But if Jiang Li hadn't knocked him down, he could have protected himself, and the Xie family guards wouldn't have died protecting the two of them......
The remaining six men in black looked at each other, in this case, it was impossible to not hurt Song Yunjie and Song Yunzhou, but also to assassinate Xie Nianjun.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the leader nodded slightly, and turned around with a few people to escape.
Song Yunzhou chased after him, but before he ran a few steps, someone threw a smoke bomb, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He reached out and grabbed something by feeling.
The smoke cleared, and Song Yunzhou didn't catch anything except a token.
