Chapter 1585: Time is Ticking
The fog hits, and what is even more terrifying is the killing machine after the fog.
Here it comes.
"Be careful. ”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Countless arrows shot from all directions, arrows rained down, the speed was very fast, Ye Shikai took out a robe from the storage ring, held Mi Wen's thin waist with one hand, turned the robe with the other hand, and turned hard, all the flying arrows were stopped, the body was lowered, and the two fell to the ground.
What a trick to ambush on all sides.
"Well, are you alright? Ye Shikai asked immediately, only then did he realize that he almost hugged Mi Wen into his arms, and subconsciously "nudged" her away.
"Ahem. ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Mi Wen did not panic, and now that the two of them were lying in the grass, the assassins suddenly lost their target, and the arrows stopped.
"Who the hell are these people? Mi Wen asked.
"I don't know. ”
"I don't know who it is, but it must have come against me. Mi Wen said coldly.
"Not necessarily. Ye Shikai thought about it, although Mi Wen was the commander of the rebel army, he must also be "notorious" in the court, after all, he was a general of the Qin army before, and he openly rebelled in front of the "world", and the court would definitely not let him go.
No matter who the assassins were targeting, Ye Shikai couldn't let them succeed.
"We can't find the location of the assassins now, and they can't find us, Wuxian is our territory after all, as long as we hold on, it won't be long before a large army will come, and they will definitely retreat. Ye Shikai analyzed that this is the safest method, but it may take a lot of time.
"I can't wait that long. Mi Wen directly refused, with her personality, she was suppressed by the assassins in her own territory and did not dare to raise her head, which was really detrimental to her majesty, the two had different positions, and as a lord, her face was naturally important.
"So what do you want to do. ”
"Of course it's to kill them, there are our troops outside the bamboo forest, and when I go out, I must send someone to break these assassins into pieces. Mi Wen's face was gloomy, and it could be seen that she was really angry.
"Well, I'll protect you. Ye Shikai nodded in response.
"Rush out together. ”
Three, two, one.
The two of them stood up suddenly, dodged and moved, turning into two phantoms, and running towards the exit of the bamboo forest, at the same time, arrows in all directions
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
"Be careful. ”
Ye Shikai used his internal force to block the flying arrows in the air, the two of them were so fast, and these assassins were able to seize the gap and release arrows, and they were extremely accurate, which showed the accuracy of their arrows.
"There's someone on the left. Suddenly, Mi Wen shouted, five or six assassins rushed out of the fog, and pounced on the two with long knives, Mi Wen didn't say much, went up and directly assassinated a person, Ye Shikai was afraid that she would have an accident, so he could only protect himself, the assassins made ruthless moves, moved quickly, and the targets were all vital points, if they wanted to kill ordinary people, I am afraid it would be easy, but their targets this time were two cultivation masters.
"Kill them. ”
The leading assassin shouted softly, Ye Shikai rushed forward, sealed his throat with a sword, and then turned around and swung his sword, slashing another assassin, Mi Wen also showed his real strength, and his excellent swordsmanship easily parried two or three assassins, not only was he not injured, but he also killed all the assassins.
"Kill. ”
"Kill. ”
At the same time, Assassins from all sides swarmed up, trying to kill the two of them with their numerical superiority.
"Miwen, come with me. Ye Shikai was worried about an accident, so he took her hand and ran towards the bamboo forest.
"Fire elemental. ”
Ye Shikai turned around and used the fire element to condense a large fireball in his palm, and threw it towards the assassin behind him.
Rumble.
"Quick, let's go. ”
This is a bamboo forest, although the fog is very large, but he is still worried about starting a fire, so he does not dare to use too much power, otherwise, if he uses all his strength, it will be enough to cause a skyrocketing fire.
Before the two of them ran out of the bamboo forest, the guards beside Mi Wen had already heard the movement and rushed in one after another.
"Protect the lord. ”
"Protect the lord. ”
"The guards obey the order, hunt down the assassins, and don't let any of them go. Miwen ordered.
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
The guards immediately rushed into the forest, and Ye Shikai took the remaining guards to protect Mi Wen and walked out of the bamboo forest.
An hour later.
"Did the assassins catch it? In the Wuxian official mansion, Mi Wen looked gloomy, and when this kind of thing happened, it naturally damaged her "face".
"Back to the lord, the bamboo forest is full of fog, the visibility is very low, those assassins are all cultivators, they saw that the situation was not good, so they retreated from all directions, and their subordinates were incompetent and did not catch them. ”
"Hmph, waste, stand down. Mi Wen scolded loudly, and the commander of the guards answered again and again, and hurriedly left.
"This kind of thing happened, it's not the fault of your subordinates, with the ability of cultivators, the mountains and rivers are like walking on the ground, and there is a heavy fog in the bamboo forest, if they retreat, let alone these guards of yours, even I may not be able to catch them. Ye Shikai stepped forward to be relieved.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who wants to do things, these assassins are all minions, just run away. Mi Wen waved his hand, "I'm just curious, who sent the assassin to assassinate me." ”
"I think Cheng is still a member of the imperial court. Ye Shikai analyzed, as far as the current general trend is concerned, Miwen's number one opponent is the imperial court, although among other large and small forces, there may also be Miwen's enemies, but now after all, they want to fight Qin together, they should not assassinate, so the greatest possibility is the imperial court.
"Could it be that Nanyang County has already discovered our actions? Mi Wen asked rhetorically, the Northern Expedition is about to begin, and more than 100,000 troops are stationed in Nanjun, if the county guards and county lieutenants of Nanyang County are not aware at all, it is too much to say.
"I think they should already know that the transfer of the army is a big deal, and there must be many spies of the Qin army in Nanjun, and if they want not to be exposed, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”
Once the Qin army discovers the intentions of the rebel army, they will never be indifferent, they will definitely gather the troops in the county, and they will also ask for help from the counties in the Central Plains.
"No, in two days, the army will set out for the Northern Expedition. Mi Wen realized the importance of time to her and said firmly.
"Mi Wen, are you really sure that you want to go north to Nanyang County? Ye Shikai asked rhetorically, at the moment of war, the most taboo is indecision, but Ye Shikai still wants to make Mi Wen change his mind, if the operation is canceled now, everything is still too late, the Qin army in Nanyang County does not have enough military strength, and will never go south to conquer.
"Of course, I'm determined that I won't change it. ”22
