Chapter 166: Dance of the Fairies Five
Ci is not in charge of the army, as a commander, Li Shimin deeply understands this truth, the soldiers are willing to be born as the commander, not because of the commander's high status, but because there are deeper reasons, such as dreams, beliefs, favors, hopes, etc., 20-year-old Li Shimin, it is the young man who witnessed the collapse of the Sui royal family and the people fell into a miserable life, he is young, so he has dreams, and because he has witnessed the misery of the people in the troubled times. He had a great ambition: to put an end to troubled times. He knew that his dream was great, and he would rejoice and cry for this dream, and people gathered because of similarity, so Li Shimin's subordinates were all such warriors with a sacrificial spirit. They are ready to die for Li Shimin at any time, just for Li Shimin to live, and then realize the dream that everyone insists on in their hearts.
At this moment, Li Shimin is with Shi Qingyi. Dugufeng and the others climbed over the mountains and forests together, and Shi Qingyi in the mountains and forests completely changed her appearance, as if she was a bird returning home, and any qiē could not hide from her eyes, so she was able to easily see through the seemingly perfect disguise, and then sneaked over unknowingly, killing people in silence, just like that, although the mountains and forests are rugged and difficult to walk, but with Shi Qingyi, Li Shimin is much safer than walking on the avenue.
And Li Shimin's side, in addition to Shi Qingyi and Dugu Feng, there were only twenty guards, in addition to these tiger guards who were selected and selected by Tongguò quietly, and more than 100 guards who were bound to die as bait, there were still more than 100 guards, who were broken into pieces by Shi Qingyi and scattered, scattered into the vast mountains and forests on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, to confuse the enemy's sight.
Shi Qingyi's method worked, at least, after Lian Rou found out that she had been fooled in the first place. When he sent people to the jungle to collect information, he found that there was chaos in the jungle, at least dozens of killers had encountered the enemy in different places, and there were many casualties on both sides, and the area covered by these places was so huge that Ling Lianrou could not gather any useful information from it.
However. After all, Lian Rou is not an ordinary person, and she quickly figured out the key issues, so she immediately issued another order: "Li Shimin must have a master who is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and this person is likely to be quite proficient in assassination, now immediately go to search for the body, once you find that someone has been killed silently, come back immediately and report it......" Lian Rou's idea was correct, and after a while, someone finally found an unusual corpse. The corpse was sealed by a sword, so that no sound came out, and it was this corpse that caught the attention of the killers. and then revealed the direction of Shi Qingyi and their departure.
However, when Lian Rou finally discovered the direction in which Shi Qingyi and the others were leaving, Lian Rou and the others had already spent far more time than expected, and at this rate, even if it took three times as long to climb the mountains and forests as it would take to walk the main road, Li Shimin was about to cross the mountains and forests to join the Tang army waiting for the terrain of the plains outside.
The ambushed valley is actually very close to the Tang army camp outside the mountains and forests, but because of the complex terrain. Therefore, there is no fear that the Tang army will go out of the camp to rescue, but once the killers get out of the mountains. Entering the plain, in the empty plain, not to mention the three thousand Tang cavalry, even the more than 100 elite cavalry of Fang Cai charged in clusters, all of which were able to crush these killers who were superior in numbers and proficient in individual combat but not good at battle formations. The killers didn't dare to go out of the mountains and forests, and it was fatal. Because of the previous ambush and the subsequent search, the killers suffered a loss of strength and were scattered throughout the mountains and forests, and it was absolutely difficult to gather for a while, and Li Shimin was about to leave the mountains and forests, so that this last glimmer of opportunity was about to disappear.
"Her Highness the Holy Maiden hesitated at this time. It's not like the style of the storm before the attack on the Jingnian Monastery, is it because the serious injuries that were beaten by those bald people before have not healed, so there is no confidence? Behind Lian Rou, a familiar voice sounded again. Beside Lian Rou, a tall old man who had been silent all this time heard this, and suddenly strode out in front of the woman, stretching out his hands and grabbing the other party's neck: "Shame the saint, die." The woman didn't expect him to make a move, and she was caught by the throat as soon as she was caught off guard, and she was about to be twisted immediately, when Lian Rou's voice immediately rang out: "The Dharma King, stop!" The tall old man stopped moving, but he didn't let go of the woman: "Your Highness, Sha Fang has insulted you!" Lian Rou shook her head: "Even so, after all, she is a believer of my religion in the East, and now the progress of my religion in the East is slow, and every believer is an extremely valuable treasure, although she offended me in her words, but I also ask His Holiness to forgive her this time." The old man snorted when he heard this, glared at the woman fiercely, and then threw the woman out as if he were throwing a piece of garbage.
Sha Fang's martial arts are extraordinary, and after landing on the ground, she swept the old man and Lianrou with hatred: "Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is reluctant to act, do you still have concerns, don't you want to completely break with Li Tang?" But in the Central Plains, who else but that one would approve of our teachings, hmph, if it weren't for that person's connection and the great venerable's promotion, who wants us to unite with you, don't even think about it. Lian Rou listened but didn't care, only heard her say: "You're right, as a holy apologist, I do have a lot of concerns, but since I have decided to support him with all my strength this time, I naturally won't hesitate." Pass my orders! She said: "Order the lurkers near Li Shimin's way forward to immediately abandon their mission and rush to the place where Li Shimin is, at any cost, to stop Li Shimin until we arrive!" ”
The lurking personnel are not specialized in assassination, and after all of them are exposed, they are no more tenacious than an ordinary soldier, and these people are extremely valuable assets, and Lian Rou's move is indeed at any cost. Time was pressing, and Lian Rou no longer cared about the opinions of the Da Ming Zun Sect represented by the woman, leaving only one sentence: "If you don't want to, you can leave." He immediately led his people and left with the old man behind him.
Sha Fang gritted her teeth with hatred when she heard this, in the Da Ming Zun Sect, her status is second only to Xu Kaishan, and her status is lofty, but with the arrival of these high-level Persian altars, because Xu Kaishan wants to ease the relationship with the main altar, the entire Da Ming Zun Sect has to bow their heads unconsciously, even her whole ' The Good Mother is nothing in front of the saints of these main altars, which makes her arrogant how can she swallow this breath, however, this is indeed not the time to be angry, so when she saw that she had not made a decision for a long time, and several subordinates came up to her to ask, Sha Fang gritted her teeth hatefully and said: "Keep up with them, at this moment, you must focus on the overall situation!" ”……
In the path of the mountains and forests, the originally quiet and uninhabited environment has become noisy at this moment, and the Mingjiao disciples who were ordered to resolutely block Li Shimin's mission walked out of their respective hiding places, and launched an attack on Li Shimin and his party one after another. In terms of numbers, Li Shimin's personal guards are only twenty, but they are selected from the elite personal guards again, and they are undoubtedly stronger, although they are walking through the mountains and forests, these personal guards are still wearing heavy armor, although they look clumsy on the way to the march, but at this time, as soon as they engage the killers, the power of the heavy armor is revealed. The killers were thinly dressed, and the scimitars and dagger weapons in their hands could not cause much damage to the guards under the heavy armor, but the guards on their bodies, whether it was a broadsword, a helmet or even a bracer, could cause huge damage to the killers, so although the killers were superior in numbers, they were dragged back by a small number of armor guards, but they were oppressed step by step.
Li Shimin is holding a bow and arrow under the protection of the guards at the moment, aiming one by one, shooting, his archery skills are passed down from his ancestors, and he loves hunting when he was a teenager, so his archery skills are extremely high, almost every shot must hit, Li Shimin's archery skills have given the killers a great deterrent, coupled with the courage of the tiger guards, although the killers are not afraid of death, but they are still forced to retreat one after another, almost without Shi Qingyi's shot, they are enough to leave the mountains and forests safely, but at this moment, the Lian Rou behind finally arrived.
Just when Lian Rou led people to chase Li Shimin with all her might, because of the urgency of time, many killers with mediocre martial arts fell behind because of lack of stamina, but Lian Rou had no time to wait, she knew that once she stopped, the fleeting opportunity would disappear, so she did not stop, even so, when she finally caught up with Li Shimin before he walked out of the mountains and forests, there were only more than ten people around her, including herself and the Dharma Protector. Even the number of people on Li Shimin's side is inferior, and because of the rush all the way, the consumption is extremely great.
Fortunately, these people are also masters in the sect, as long as they can hold Li Shimin for a while, and when they arrive in the future, it will be difficult for Li Shimin to escape. Because of this, Lian Rou didn't care about resting for the first time, so she had already rushed forward and bit the tail of Li Shimin and his party. (To be continued......)
