Chapter 257: Interception
After entering the territory of the Pearl Kingdom, Zhang Hui suffered the first wave of interception!
Although Zhang Hui and the others avoided all the official roads and picked up remote paths, they still couldn't withstand the day and night search, open posts and secret posts of the elite troops of more than 100 people on the border.
The clash took place on the fifth day after Zhang Hui crossed the border, and it was midnight when most of the Tianxia Gang was resting, except for the three brothers who were on duty at the time. At this moment, the spiritual soldiers dressed in black clothes and black armor quietly touched up, they wanted to kill the people standing guard quietly first, and then wipe out all the members of the Tianxia Gang who were resting in the open air!
The leader is a low, dark-skinned man, don't look at his short figure, his appearance is not good, but his spiritual level has been small, very appreciated by his superiors, if it were not for the lack of people in the court, he would have been promoted to the senior officer of the eastern border defense of the Pearl Country.
Now that he has pressed Baoquan in this arrest operation, as long as he takes Zhang Hui, it is not easy to become an official and become a knight?
Therefore, even if this operation is very risky, when no one in the army dares to take on this task, the five short figures take the initiative to ask for help, patting their bosses on the chest to ensure that the character is completed.
The reason why he dared to take this risk was also because he was quite confident in his own strength. Although Zhang Hui is powerful, he is not bad, as long as this task is completed well, he can completely replace Zhang Hui's position in the Pearl Country in the future!
The five short figures squatted behind the bushes in the woods, brushed aside a bunch of branches and leaves, and a pair of black eyes stared at the front, and the five short figures showed a smile on their faces, a smug smile, as if what was waiting for him later was not a battle, but a key to the promotion of officials.
"Up!"
With an order, ten capable strong men quietly touched it, trying to cut off the sentry guards standing guard silently. But ten minutes passed, and there was no more noise in the dark woods, except for the occasional low chirp of a few nocturnal animals.
At this time, Wu Short was already faintly worried in his heart, and he completely guessed what might have happened to these ten soldiers who had not heard from him. But now he can't give up, he can't watch his opportunity to become an official and become a knight slip away under his nose like this, and he can't take the initiative to give up.
Because he is confident in his own strength!
"Up!"
The five short figure was another order, he walked in the front, with the rest of the black-clothed soldiers, slowly moving forward by the extremely faint starlight of the stars in the sky, the forehead of the five short figure began to ooze beads of sweat, today's moonless night is the opportunity he finally waited for, if there is the light of the moon in the sky, he really does not dare to attack rashly.
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
……
The five short figures were not able to figure out what was going on until he died, and he was obviously very strong and had an absolute place in the border fortress, but why was his body and head inexplicably different in this ordinary mountain forest? Perhaps at this time, he really understood why there were so many border guards, and no one accepted this order. At the beginning, the five short figures ridiculed this group of spiritual cultivators for being spineless and unable to resist the beams, but now they seem to be able to understand.
The arbitrary figure rolled down the head and blinked, dead.
The people of the Tianxia Gang continued to shift their positions that night, walking towards the deeper part of the Pearl Country. And this tragedy that happened in the mountains and forests, the Eastern Frontier General reported to the palace as quickly as possible.
Ren Tianyou, who sat in the supreme position of power in the palace, felt an unprecedented worry and fear in his heart, this feeling had hardly appeared in his life, and even when he was competing for the throne with several brothers, he had never been so worried, so afraid.
And now this feeling is so strong that Ren Tianyou's nerves are torn apart, he is even a little angry, Zhang Hui is just a fart he once promoted, and now he dares to fight against himself!? Now he is in charge of the world! With the supreme power in the whole world, Zhang Hui is just a martial artist, why should he fight with himself?
If Ren Tianyou was unwilling to kill Zhang Hui who had helped him at first, then from this moment on, Zhang Hui would have become a thorn in Ren Tianyou's eye, if you don't die, I can't sleep!
The palace was splendid, but Ren Tianyou's heart was gloomy. The orange light sprinkled on Ren Tianyou's face, outlining a gloomy outline.
"Guards!" Ren Tianyou suddenly roared.
"In!"
A gold-armored guard officer stood up "swoop", Ren Tianyou threw the border military newspaper in his hand under the high platform, the gold-armored guard officer picked it up and looked at it, and went out with a salute. Ren Tianyou looked at the disappearing back of the Golden Armor Guard, and there was an indescribable complexity in his heart.
"Wait!"
Ren Tianyou suddenly stopped the golden armor guard who was about to leave the palace, the golden armor guard turned his head, and Ren Tianyou bit out a few words from between his teeth, "You go personally!"
"Yes!"
The golden armor guard officer always had a facial expression, saluted again, turned around and left the palace, and disappeared from Ren Tianyou's field of vision. Ren Tianyou clenched his hands into fists, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
The Golden Armor Guard led thirty Wang Palace Guards to leave Guangming City, the Golden Armor Guard was Ren Tianyou's personal person, of course he knew Zhang Hui's power, but he knew even more that a master like Zhang Hui could never win by numbers. So he chose the thirty strongest guards in the palace to go with him.
Being able to enter the palace as a guard is in itself a recognition of the strength of the spiritual cultivator, and the thirty people selected by the Jinjia guard officer are the elite of the elite, the strongest of the strong. The Golden Armor Guard was expressionless, but he knew exactly in his heart that he knew how he should face Zhang Hui, and he was confident that he would be able to successfully complete the task assigned to him by the king! Because he knew what the consequences of failure were.
On the night he received the order, the Golden Armor Guard took advantage of the darkness to leave Guangming City, the capital. The night is the best cover, and if the news of his departure from Beijing reaches Zhang Hui's ears, then his chances of victory will be reduced.
And all this, Zhang Hui, thousands of miles away, is completely unpredictable, Zhang Hui only knows that the road ahead is tortuous and bumpy, but the future must be bright!
