Chapter 132: Horseshoe Formation
Xia Jiuhua obviously didn't expect this astonishing variable, the first condition in his plan to besiege and kill the two was that no one came to the rescue, but the cultivators who appeared at this time obviously broke all his plans.
Seeing that there were several crossbow arrows stuck in Lin Ji's body, but they were not injured, but the figure had disappeared from sight, he wanted to get up and chase after him, but after moving it hard, he sat back in place with a grin.
Lin Ji didn't make any stops in the small city, and rushed out of the small city in a hurry, hurrying towards the north, but because of his lack of energy, he had no choice but to stop halfway.
By the way, let's see what the hell is the origin of the person who saved his life.
The place where Lin Ji stopped to rest was at the corner of a road similar to an official road.
"Lin Shizi. Lin Ji hadn't stopped for long when the sound of wheels came to him.
Looking for the voice, a carriage appeared around the corner, and walked towards him unhurriedly.
Lin Ji frowned, looked at the carriage, and looked at the coachman who looked like he should be extraordinary, vigilant.
The carriage stopped in front of Lin Ji, and then a middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.
There was an iron sword beside the middle-aged man, Lin Ji was very familiar with this iron sword to save himself and in fire and water, and then his nervousness relaxed a lot.
The middle-aged man got out of the car, stood on the side of the road, looked at Lin Ji and Yi Hanlan beside him with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to signal Lin Ji and Yi Hanlan to get into the car.
Lin Ji almost didn't hesitate to pick up Yi Hanlan and get into the carriage, but he didn't close the door.
"Who are you?"
"I'm from Huanyue, my surname is Pei. ”
Lin Ji suddenly realized that he didn't have much hope for this ally who had only reached an alliance with Canghai City on the surface, but it was this ally who saved his life in the most difficult time.
"I thanked the head of the Pei family for his benevolence and righteousness. Lin Ji bowed his hand to the middle-aged man, and his language was frank.
"The head of the family said that he hoped that the prince would not forget the agreement he reached when he entered the Cloud Pavilion. After the middle-aged man said this, his eyes narrowed into an extremely narrow slit, and the iron sword beside him seemed to tremble at this moment.
Lin Ji saw it in his eyes, obviously he already knew the ultimate purpose of this person, if he answered a little carelessly, I am afraid that his head would be taken by him and dedicated to Emperor Damang.
"The head of the Pei family is very virtuous, Lin Ji doesn't dare to forget. If there is a need for Canghai City in the future, please feel free to ask. Lin Ji looked at the man's eyes, and his tone was full of sincerity.
"That is fine, and I will go back and answer the master. Lin Shizi's trip was even difficult, and he hoped to succeed as soon as possible. The middle-aged man showed a slightly meaningful smile on his face, and after bowing his hand to Lin Ji, he turned to leave.
The sound of the rolling carriage resounded on the muddy path, and the two men in the carriage snuggled together, listening to the small sound of raindrops crashing on the roof of the car, and then their faces showed an expression of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
The smell of earth occasionally came from the humid air, and Lin Ji lifted the curtains to look at the gradually disappearing city, and finally closed his eyes with peace of mind.
This battle from Xia Jiuhua of Jiuli Academy ended in a result of both defeats, and the halfway addition of 5,000 crossbowmen originally made it possible to attack and kill Lin Ji, but it was destroyed at the hands of the Pei family, who were killed in vain.
A short episode at the historical turning point of the Canghai Expeditionary Force's expedition to Yanjing disappeared in this heavy rain.
Lin Ji had thought more than once that the Pei family jumped out at this time to save their purpose and meaning, but Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.
The horses' hooves are blowing, and the rain is clear.
The sound of the horse's hooves turned into a huge rumble, and within a distance of about ten miles in front of the city of Il, a tired cavalry team appeared in sight.
On the cold helmet, water was falling, and they couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, but they didn't have time to wipe it, because even after wiping it off, a second and a third drops fell.
The whole team didn't look like a team that could win a battle, but the look under the cold armor was intimidating.
"Time to rest on the spot for a stick of incense. The leader of the general still had gauze wrapped around his shoulders, although it was dirty, but it could still be seen that the faint red blood stains had not disappeared. After he waved his hand, the team of nearly 10,000 people behind him dismounted. Then he looked for his last dry food in his waist or bosom to feed his stomach.
They left the town, and in order to maintain their speed, they only brought five days' dry food, and at this time, only ten miles from the city of Il, they had finally completed the five-day journey.
Bi Kongqing's brows were furrowed together, and a horse dragging Zhou Ziqian was already foaming at the mouth of the night. Fortunately, there are only ten miles left, otherwise these good horses from Canghai City really don't know how many horses can be left on this road.
"When will the prince be able to join the team?" Zhou Ziqian's gun hung on the horse's back, and at this time he put his head together like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.
This person, who claimed to be the best cavalry general in the Lin family's army, suddenly found that without Lin Ji, he didn't know how to fight this battle.
"How do I know, if Lao Liao is in their cultivation world, maybe they can know some more, but I guess it won't be long. Bi Kongqing glanced back at the already exhausted team, and didn't know what to do next.
For the besieging forces, the city of Ils was different.
The difference is that compared to ordinary cities, he has an extremely wide moat.
When it rains heavily, the water in the moat rises a little higher, which is bound to add a lot of unnecessary trouble to the siege.
A young and handsome young man, with a jade-like white face, a straight nose, slender sword eyebrows, long black hair was simply restrained by a black hairband from the middle, fluttering in the wind behind his back, a black cloak fell straight down, looking back like a jade carved face, a thick cold breath flashed in the black pupils. It's just that what doesn't match his outfit is the white filial piety belt trapped around his waist, which adds a bit of mourning to his originally sharp outfit.
There was no longer the beautiful woman beside him, but there was an extra carriage behind him, and he was the driver of the carriage.
"We're coming. Lin Ji said to the people in the car.
No one in the car responded, but Lin Ji still carefully avoided a pothole on the road to avoid excessive bumps, and disturbed the injured woman who didn't know how.
"Where are you going?" After a long time, a very faint voice finally sounded in the car.
Lin Ji, who was driving the car, finally had a rare smile on his cold face.
"Il. ”
"Don't wait for Lin Jiajun?"
"Of course I don't wait, I'm here to arrest people, not to siege the city, it's better to keep a low profile. Lin Ji stretched out his hand and popped out a piece of essence again, which melted when it rained, and finally was as thin as a cicada's wings, covering the carriage to prevent the raindrops from falling on the carriage.
"Is it cold?" Lin Ji didn't seem to be at ease with the people in the car, and after doing this, he still asked with concern.
"Cold, what can you do? ”
Lin Ji waved his hand, and Feng Xiaojian was admittedly out of his body and inserted into the car along the carriage.
The people in the car let out a soft "ah", obviously frightened.
Lin Ji lowered his head a little ashamedly, and then waved his right hand several times in front of his chest, only to see that the sword inserted into the car was burning for some reason.
It's just that the warm flame turned out to be a blazing white.
Because of the presence of firelight, the humid compartment dried out a lot in an instant, and there was a little more warmth.
Yi Han's blue and snow-white face was somewhat ruddy.
"Isn't that overkill? ”
"Isn't it great to save people?" Lin Ji kept his right hand, but his left hand slapped the horse's ass vigorously.
The horse was in pain, and its broken steps turned into great strides, and it ran towards the city of Il.
It's a lot faster, but it's still flat.
