Chapter 304: Into the Mountains

This official road is the only road leading directly to Shiyan Town, because Baishan City is a mountain city, and dense forests grow on both sides of the official road all year round.

When they had walked about a mile, Buqi suddenly grabbed the reins on his horse and looked around vigilantly.

Xu Chun also grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage.

Liao Hu and Li Xiaolin were on both sides of the carriage, drew out their swords, and looked at the woods on both sides with blazing eyes.

The night was dark, the forest was dense, and the silence around was a little terrible.

It was too late, and at the moment when the four of them had just stopped, there was a sound of "snort" breaking the air in the silent night sky. A dense rain of arrows shot from the woods on either side without warning, only towards the four people in the middle of the road.

Almost before the arrow arrived, the four of them rolled off their horses and rolled under the belly of the horse, and at the same time rushed forward like a gust of wind.

At the same time as they turned over and returned to their horses, they threw darts from their arms, and rushed into the woods with a murderous aura.

With the muffled snort coming from the woods, and at the same time as the rain of arrows stopped, a group of black-clothed masked men came out of the woods with swords in hand, and surrounded Buqi and them in the middle with a few vertical leaps.

Obviously, the martial arts of this group of masked people were no less than that of Buqi, and there were at least forty or fifty people coming.

Buqi was not afraid at all, and the four of them brandished their swords back to back, fighting with the masked man.

In the blink of an eye, swords came and went, and both sides used their best stunts, and they both wanted to fight quickly. Someone on both sides hung flowers.

Bu Qi was secretly anxious in his heart, he was worried that Vice Wu would not be able to drag them out for long, and if Baishan City was broken, they would really not be able to leave.

But. The masked man relied on the advantage of a large number of people, and he was really helpless in a short time.

The masked man seemed to know what Bu Qi was thinking, and stepped up the attack in his hands, and the four of them had a hard time coping with it.

Bu Qi's heart seems to be on fire, they are nothing, but what about Ren Changqing? Does God really want them to be exterminated here?

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. Listen to the sound of at least forty or fifty horses. As the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, someone among the masked people suddenly whistled, and the masked people besieging Bu Qi and the others immediately fled into the woods. Suddenly he was gone.

Buqi was all so tired that they were sweating, and they didn't chase after the masked man. Although the masked man was gone, they did not dare to relax.

Those who came did not know whether they were friends or foes, and several people could not retreat to the city. can only face the south, and all of them are on guard.

As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer. The mount under Bu Qi suddenly rushed forward, and Bu Qi couldn't pull it.

When the thunderous sound of horses' hooves arrived, Bu Qi saw through the faint moonlight that it was Bu Yi.

Buyi, with a team of fifty horses, stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" How's it going in town? ”

Bu Qi didn't care about talking to Bu Yi, so he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the city, saying as he walked: "I'll talk about the details later." Now follow me to rescue the eldest master, the eldest master has been poisoned by a poisonous arrow. ”

"What?" Buyi's voice trembled in shock. Immediately he took the lead and galloped towards the city.

In the blink of an eye, Bu Yi and Bu Qi returned to the south gate of the city with their people.

Ren Fei and the others were waiting anxiously, and when they saw that Bu Qi came back with so many people, they knew that it was their own people, so they hurriedly said: "Quick, carry the general into the car, hurry up, I'm afraid Baishan City will be broken." ”

As if to confirm his words, bursts of cheers came from the northern wall of Baishan City. The cheers were so loud in the night sky that they were like sharp knives stabbing into the hearts of everyone.

Ren Fei thought of Wu Dingyuan and hundreds of soldiers, and his heart was like a knife.

But now is not the time for them to grieve, Bu Qi hurriedly picked up Ren Changqing and gently put him in the carriage.

Wu Dingyuan's personal soldier Wu Erbao kowtowed to the north, scooped up the reins and jumped onto the carriage, and the carriage immediately drove quickly to the south.

More than fifty horsemen escorted the carriage all the way to the south, but as he walked, Bu Qi suddenly grabbed the reins and motioned for everyone to stop, and he dismounted and put his ear to the ground to listen carefully.

Everyone looked around vigilantly with weapons in hand, and found that they had already walked half the way.

At this time, Bu Qi suddenly shouted: "It's bad, the Liao army actually took advantage of the situation to come south." We can't go down the official road anymore, or we'll let them chase after us in a while. ”

"Liao Hu! Li Xiaolin! The two of you immediately hurry up and be sure to send a message to Shiyan Town before the Liao army, so that they can be prepared. ”

"Yes!" Liao Hu and Li Xiaolin agreed, and immediately dismounted and whipped their horses fiercely, and the two horses galloped south.

Buyi asked, "Is there a place where I can hide?" ”

"Yes! Come with me, there's a valley to the west, everyone be quick. Step one, after you eliminate the traces in the back, cover the road with branches, so that the Liao army will not find out. ”

"Good!"

So, Bu Qi led the way in front, and a group of more than 50 people led their horses quietly into a mountain road and walked towards the valley to the west.

After walking for about five miles, I heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves from the direction of Baishan City.

Everyone subconsciously stopped, held their breath, and secretly admired Buqi's determination.

The sound of horses' hooves passed for a full hour before it gradually died down.

Everyone looked at the direction of Shiyan Town worriedly, and secretly prayed in their hearts that Shiyan Town would have fewer losses.

None of them spoke, and they walked towards the mountain with a heavy heart.

This valley is where Ren Changqing asked Zhang Shen to transfer the wounded. The reason why Bu Qi brought Ren Changqing over was because the military doctors in the army were all transferred out with the wounded. Rather than Ren Changqing not being able to treat safely in Shiyan Town, it is better to let the military doctor take a look here, at least he can pull out the poisonous arrow that is still stuck in Ren Changqing's left shoulder.

This valley was discovered by Ren Changqing with Wu Dingyuan, Bu Qi, and Zhang Shen, thanks to Meng Qingwei not going that day, or he was really desperate.

The mountain road is so narrow that the carriage can't cross it at all. From the moment they entered the woods, they made a stretcher and put Ren Changqing on the stretcher and carried him away.

The carriage was not still there, for fear that the Liao army would find clues.

The horses pulling the cart untied their reins and followed the crowd. The carriage was carried by two men in turn, and it didn't take much effort.

No one can ride a horse and follow the crowd automatically, and the speed is not slow. When it was almost dawn, they reached the valley where they were going.

The soldiers on guard saw them and hurried to deliver the letter.

After a while, General Zhang came over in a hurry with people and took everyone in.

The valley is quite secluded, and on the way to it is a large swamp that blocks the way into the valley.

Bu Qi led the people to pass through an inconspicuous small tree in the north of a swamp, this small tree grew in the swamp, Bu Qi and Zhang Shenjiang had walked this road, knowing that the vicinity of this small tree seemed to be a swamp, but in fact there was already hard soil underneath. The whole swamp is the road they are familiar with, and those who don't know will definitely fall into the swamp. (To be continued......)
