Chapter 40 (I) Attacked

After resting for some time, the reserve army finally set off from Tianshun City, and Yelan took the main road, and on both sides of the road was the Tianshun Mountain Range.

"There are often thieves in the area of Tianshun Mountain, Ye Fan, you lead the army to follow behind, and I will lead the light horse to explore the way. Ye Lan said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan frowned, and stopped talking, as if he was dissatisfied. Seeing this, Yelan whispered, "Tianshun Mountain is easy to ambush people, if someone with a heart sets a trap and ambushes, you can still support the army behind, so that the whole army will not be wiped out." ”

Ye Fan instantly realized, he nodded, "I understand what the fourth brother meant, don't worry, if there is anything, you will call me with an arrow." ”

Yelan nodded, turned to look at Lie Beiyao who was riding a horse and followed along, "Her Royal Highness the princess would like to come with me?"

"It will cause trouble to His Highness Yelan, so I'd better go with the army. Lie Beiyao politely refused.

"It's boring to march with the army, princess?" Yelan frowned slightly.

"Since His Highness Yelan said so, there is His Highness Lao. Lie Beiyao nodded.

Yelan nodded at Yefan, summoned a team of hinterland guards to accompany him, and several people galloped on horseback.

Almost far away from the main army, Yelan pulled the reins of his horse and slowed his speed. The two marched side by side, and the accompanying guards were very discerning, and automatically moved away a little, only slowly driving their horses to follow. Yelan drove the horse closer and said casually, "The shadow guard of the Red Banner Crusader should be nearby." ”

Lie Beiyao subconsciously turned her head, and seeing that Yelan's expression was calm and her tone was casual, she turned her head over again, and only said softly, "Your Highness knows." ”

"Huh?" Yelan raised an eyebrow, "You don't have to be so polite when no one is around, I'm just guessing, it seems that I guessed right." ”

"So you're deliberately driving them away. You know it's going to have an impact on you, and you might lose your head. Lie Beiyao's voice was a little hoarse and low, and his eyes looked at the horse reins, a little sluggish.

"I will cooperate with you in acting and make a full set of plays. Yelan hooked the corners of her mouth, showing a playful smile, "I have my own way to get out." ”

"Emperor Zhaoning will not give up easily. ”

"You're worried about me?"

"I ......" Lie Beiyao was speechless.

"As long as you're safe, I have nothing to worry about alone. Besides, I'm absolutely sure. ”

"When will your people arrive?" Yelan asked, and as he spoke, several people jumped down from the mountain, and their movements were so fast that they couldn't see how they came down from the mountain.

Before the heart guards could draw their swords, they died under the sword of the man in black, the men in black glanced at each other, and quickly walked to Yelan and Lie Beiyao's side, one pointed at Yelan with his sword, the others looked around vigilantly, and another walked to Lie Beiyao and knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness." ”

"The Red Flag Crusaders live up to their name. Yelan praised.

"Your Highness, please come with us. The man said anxiously.

Lie Beiyao glanced at Yelan, and Yelan nodded at him. Lie Beiyao said lightly, "Don't do it. As he had finished speaking, he was about to follow the men, when suddenly hundreds of people jumped down from the mountain and surrounded the place.

"What people!" There are only a dozen shadow guards of the Red Banner Crusader, and there is definitely no problem in martial arts, but in the face of hundreds of people, the number of people has fallen and fallen, and their physical strength has been consumed, and they are not completely sure.

The group of people was dressed in armor, and they looked like the Nine Dust Army, a regular army that had been on the battlefield for a long time. The leader of the men in black changed his eyes, and quickly held Ye Lan hostage with his sword, Ye Lan chuckled, "They are not my people. ”

The man's eyes changed again, seeing that Yelan didn't look like lying, he withdrew his sword, looked around vigilantly, hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his head and gave an order, "Rush out, be sure to protect the safety of Your Highness." ”

"Yes!" replied.

The leader of the men in black took the lead in killing out, and the two surrounded Lie Bei Yao and waited for an opportunity to break through, and all the rest drew their swords to fight with the gang, trying to entangle them and buy time for Lie Bei Yao. Yelan's expression became serious, he drew his sword to protect Lie Beiyao and ran out, fighting with the enemy with his right hand, and holding Lie Beiyao's hand tightly with his left hand, after a long time, he sweated slightly.

"Whoosh!" A hidden weapon was launched, "Whoosh", another one, and the two Red Flag Crusader shadow guards beside Lie Beiyao fell to the ground in response. Yelan's heart tightened, he grabbed the Aurora Sword, and cut down a large piece with a "swish". Suddenly, Yelan faintly felt a chill behind him, and the secret path was not good, but the time was short, and it was too late. "Whoosh. I could only hear a scream behind him, and when he turned around, the person who tried to sneak up on him from behind had already fallen, and Yelan turned sideways violently, only to see a red light flash in Lie Beiyao's sleeve - it was left after the launch of the hidden weapon.

"Will you be a secret weapon?" In a hurry, these words blurted out from Yelan's mouth, and his face was a little stunned.

Lie Beiyao didn't answer him, turned around and "whoosh, whoosh", and two more people fell.

"It can't go on like this, there's not much left of the Red Banner Crusader Shadow Guard. Lie Beiyao was a little anxious, and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead. Yelan looked at it, only two shadow guards were still alive on the field, and the rest had all fallen, and forty or fifty people had died over there, and the ground was a pool of blood, piled with corpses.

"Do you have a signal, presumably your brother is nearby. Yelan said.

Lie Beiyao shook his head a little helplessly, "I didn't expect that there would be variables this time, so I didn't prepare anything to contact." ”

Yelan frowned, rushed up and killed the two people, rescued the remaining two, and hurriedly instructed, "Protect your Highness." After finishing speaking, he took out a whistle from his sleeve, "Beep~~"
