Chapter 260: Reencounter
So when Li Yuan's voice finally came from the depths of the forest, not only Xin Zi, but even Takemoto, who had always been unsmiling and extremely unaccustomed to Li Yuan's pie, also hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a happy look.
The two turned around at the same time, and saw a slender young man with his hands behind his head, his head slightly raised, and Youya Youzai walked towards the two, his face was full of pride, as if he was thinking about how to show off his wit and improvisation to the two.
Looking at the appearance of Yuchen obediently following behind him, and the way the branch picked up by the young man at some point waving in the air, Takemoto actually changed his normal behavior and laughed out loud.
Approaching the two of them, Li Yuan, who was about to invite merit, frowned when he saw this, pretended to be angry, and looked at Takemoto and said, "What's so funny?" ”
Takemoto hurriedly put away his smile, waved his hand, and swallowed back the three words "cowherd" that came to his mouth.
Xin Zi turned his gaze from the bamboo itself to Li Yuan, and asked with a slight smile, "Get rid of those pursuers?" ”
Li Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand to stroke Yuchen who was closely following him, and said proudly: "There is a treasure like Yuchen, don't say that those people want to fool those inferior horses bought from nowhere, even if they really lead thousands of miles, they will definitely be thrown away by me and it." ”
Takemoto saw that he began to brag again, and the little goodwill he had just accumulated disappeared in an instant, and he shook his head with disdain.
Xin Zi didn't care about this, and said with a smile following Li Yuan's words: "I didn't expect that Yuchen had such a tacit understanding with you for so long, you must know that when he first met me in the Golden Forest before, he used several geniuses to barely manage not to be hostile to me." ”
As he was talking, Yuchen suddenly put away his tame appearance, and instead bared his teeth and roared behind Xin Zi.
Seeing this, the three of them sank their faces at the same time, Xin Zi turned around, and only then did she notice that a row of black shadows in the distance was rapidly approaching.
Li Yuan and Takemoto rushed to Xin Zi at the same time, Takemoto put one hand on the hilt of the soft sword at his waist, and Li Yuan clutched the knuckles of the hand holding the branch so white that his knuckles turned white.
Xin Zi looked around vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "There are nearly thirty people, approaching from the south, north, and east, and they should be the people dispatched by General Yi Lei. ”
Looking at this posture, I am afraid that I am ambushed near here early, waiting for Li Yuan to turn back and expose the traces of Xin Zi and Takemoto.
Seeing the big from the small, Yi Lei is really good at tactics.
Takemoto glanced at the delicate twig in Li Yuan's hand that was about to be broken by him, and sneered in his heart, at this time, are you still unwilling to show your true skills?
But his feet moved forward again, blocking in front of Xin Zi and Li Yuan at the same time, he decisively drew out his soft sword, and shouted at Li Yuan: "Protect the girl and leave, this group of people will be handed over to me." ”
Li Yuan nodded vigorously, turned around without hesitation, and pulled Xin Zi to flee from the place where he was about to be surrounded by clusters.
Xin Zi looked at Takemoto with worried eyes, she didn't doubt Takemoto's strength, in the past few days, she hadn't seen this woman with a slender appearance but a first-class strength with a record of one against a hundred.
But at that time, most of them were strong men who had no kung fu or township officials who only knew three-legged cat kung fu, and what they had to face at this moment was the people brought by Yi Lei - the legendary brave and good fighting troops who were not afraid of death.
Seeing Xin Zi's hesitation, Li Yuan whispered on the side: "What they want is you, and you are the one we want to escort." As long as you escape, there is still hope for us, and if you fall into the hands of those defenders, do you think she will survive with Takemoto's temperament? What did you teach her to take to see Lord Zuo? ”
Xin Zi gritted her teeth and turned around, and jumped onto Yuchen.
The two rode together and headed west.
Xin Zi and Li Yuan fell into the predicament of being surrounded again, it was already the second half of the night, and the half-moon above their heads gradually slid down to the west.
There are only a dozen people coming, and they shouldn't be caught up at the speed of Yuchen, so they can only be ambushed here early, just waiting for Xin Zi to throw himself into the net.
There are only a dozen people, and it is not difficult to find a way to keep Xin Zi out.
Li Yuan calculated in his heart, looking around vigilantly, worried that more people would suddenly come out.
He whispered "west" in Xin Zi's ear, then turned over from Yuchen's back and landed in front of a person on the west side. The man slashed at Li Yuan with a knife in both hands.
Li Yuan turned to the side slightly, leaving just enough distance for the blade to cut down, and then quickly broke one of the middle fingers of the person holding the knife outwards with his backhand when the long knife that was thrown into the air and leaned towards him.
The figure of the person who made the knife was so strong, and his strength was only far above Li Yuan, who was a little thin, but a middle finger against Li Yuan's hands was useless, and he could only watch the other party break his fingers outward, the sound of broken bones and the sharp pain that pierced his heart, Rao is a warrior who was stationed in the border army was also a little unbearable, and he was forced to let go after screaming.
Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to pull out the long knife in the man's hand, and jumped directly to his shoulder, sweeping down from top to bottom with the person under his feet as the center, splitting a narrow path about two people wide.
Xin Zi saw the right moment, leaned down and wrapped his arms around Yuchen's neck, and rushed out towards the path that Li Yuan had opened up for him.
Rushing out of the encirclement of more than a dozen people, Yuchen lost his restraints, stretched out his limbs and ran forward at full speed.
But as soon as he left less than a hundred steps, he was swept from his knee by a long knife stretched out out of nowhere, Yuchen snorted, and a heel fell forward.
Xin Zi was thrown out heavily, and her body rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and when she staggered to her feet, she saw a person walking slowly towards her.
At that time, more than half a hundred men were dressed in military uniforms, who else could it be if it wasn't Yi Lei.
Xin Zi covered her chest with a faint pain, and retreated again and again under the pressure of Yi Lei's powerful aura.
Yi Lei stared at Xin Zi, his face colder than his own blade.
Will he die under his knife after all?
Xin Zi sneered in her heart, but she didn't want to accept her fate like this.
She looked straight at Yi Lei, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes, which made Yi Lei's originally ancient eyes flash a little different.
"Tang Yinbrown also apprenticed to the general, one day as a teacher and a father for life, this teaching Ah Brown He remembers, why do you completely ignore the friendship between master and apprentice, general?" Xin Zi's voice was not loud, but the words were clear and powerful, and they hit Yi Lei's heart.
Even if it is an old man like General Yi, who has been on the battlefield for half his life, he has to admit that the little girl with a young face in front of him actually spoke to his heart.
Tang Yinbrown's death is still a knot between him and King Xin. As long as this knot is not solved, he will not be able to do things for King Xin wholeheartedly as he did in the past. (To be continued.) )
