Chapter 337: Fortunately
The sound of horses' hooves drowned out the sound of the dead soldiers moving quickly, so neither Honka nor Yan Jinxuan's retinue noticed anything unusual.
Yan Jinxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, was closing his eyes to recuperate, but he always felt a little uneasy.
Because of his closed eyes, Yan Jinxuan's ears became sharper than before.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said to Honka, who was driving the carriage, "Stop. β
Honka, who did not know what was going on, immediately stopped his horse, and his retinue also stopped.
Seeing this, the dead soldiers who came in a group of nights also hurriedly stopped in place.
The two teams were separated by less than six feet.
"Look around for what's going on." Yan Jinxuan said to Honka and his entourage.
Everyone immediately looked around.
Since the night was already dark, and the dead soldiers were all dressed in black, they couldn't see clearly, and only felt that there was a black oppression in front of them.
Honka jumped off his horse with his sword in his hand and looked around.
Ten of the twenty retinues also walked around, and the other ten followed, and the other ten followed, closely around Yan Jinxuan's carriage.
Suddenly, with a bang, one of Yan Jinxuan's entourage bumped into the dead soldiers in front, and then, the dead soldiers behind swarmed around.
"My lord, there is a situation!" Honka hurriedly said to Yan Jinxuan, who was sitting in the carriage.
Yan Jinxuan asked the entourage outside the carriage: "What's the situation?" β
"A group of men in black gathered around." The attendant replied.
"How many people are there?" Yan Jinxuan asked again.
"It's estimated that there are about a hundred." The attendant replied.
Yan Jinxuan immediately got out of the carriage with his sword.
This group of people had been rushing towards Yan Jinxuan, but now when they saw Yan Jinxuan coming out of the carriage, they quickly surrounded Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan looked at them with blazing eyes. There was no panic on his face.
They were getting closer and closer to Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan's entourage also all put on a fighting formation.
"Up." With the order of the leader of the dead soldiers, a hundred dead soldiers raised their swords and attacked Yan Jinxuan and his party.
With a click, the twenty dead soldiers standing at the front raised their swords and stabbed straight at Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan's twenty entourages immediately raised their swords to meet them.
A fierce battle ensued.
The other dead soldiers took advantage of the battle between the two groups and quickly approached Yan Jinxuan.
Eighty swords brushed at Yan Jinxuan in unison, and Gunmatsu who looked at this formation even trembled with fright.
With a bang, thirty dead men rushed forward.
Gu Song saw a flash of cold light, and Yan Jinxuan's sword had already slashed through the waists of the group of people standing at the front.
Suddenly there was a thud of falling to the ground.
At least twenty of the thirty fell.
The other dead men were shocked and stepped forward again with their swords.
This time, nearly twenty people were also injured by Yan Jinxuan's sword.
Honka was greatly encouraged and joined the fierce battle.
For a while, swords and swords, flesh and blood flew sideways.
After three rounds of fighting between the two sides, more than half of the wounded soldiers were injured, and the uninjured soldiers continued to attack Yan Jinxuan unrelentingly.
Just as Yan Jinxuan, Gu Song and the others were fighting back, a dead soldier lying on the ground threw a sword in the direction of Yan Jinxuan with all his might. Yan Jinxuan sensed that the sword was about to stab his body. He continued to meet the attacks of the other dead men as he used his hands to block the deadly sword.
Hearing only a squeak, the sword grazed the edge of Yan Jinxuan's left rib.
Yan Jinxuan immediately felt a sharp pain, but he knew that the injury was not enough to be fatal, so he immediately used all his strength to deal with the dead soldiers who attacked him again.
Due to the adaptation to the darkness. Honka could see the surrounding scenery as a rough idea. He found that Yan Jinxuan's green robe was a lot red. knew that he was seriously injured, but at this moment, he was also dealing with nearly ten dead soldiers, so he couldn't get close to help Yan Jinxuan.
Will Lord Yan die? No! He can't die. If he died, the Yan family and Miss Su would be so sad!
But where to find someone to help now?
Honka was as anxious as an ant in a hot nest.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, a man rode quickly in the direction of the residence of Du Chenghuan, the secretary of the military department, and when he arrived at the gate of Dedu's mansion, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After some questioning by the doorman, he was able to enter the house to meet Du Chenghuan.
"My lord, I'm afraid something is going to happen to Lord Yan's family." After seeing Du Chenghuan, Feng Zixi said.
Feng Zi Xi is the younger brother of Feng Zichao, and he was lucky enough to survive the fight with the dead soldiers who pursued his brother, and learned the general story from one of the dead soldiers who was about to die. In order to save the Yan family, he hurriedly came to Du Chenghuan for help.
After listening to his story, Du Chenghuan immediately took five hundred soldiers to Yanfu to save people.
When they were about to arrive at Yan Mansion, they saw Yan Jinxuan's carriage and two teams of people in a fierce battle.
Du Chenghuan hurriedly said to the archers: "Shoot." β
Five hundred men took up their bows and arrows and shot at the dead men.
Soon, the dead men died at the hands of the archers.
Yan Jinxuan hurriedly thanked Du Chenghuan.
"You're welcome, Lord Yan, I'm afraid your family is also in danger now, let's hurry back." Du Chenghuan said.
Knowing that his family was also in danger, Yan Jinxuan jumped directly on the nearest horse without caring about the injury, and went straight to home with Du Chenghuan and his party.
In this fierce battle, only eight of Yan Jinxuan's twenty entourages survived, and Honka was also injured, but fortunately his life was saved, so these nine people immediately followed the team.
On the Yan Mansion's side, Yan Yunpei and Yan Jinhao were both seriously injured, but they were still fighting to the death with the dead.
The dead soldiers in this group originally thought that Yan Yunpei and Yan Jinhao did not understand martial arts, but they did not expect that they not only understood but were also very good at defense, coupled with the joint efforts of more than 30 family members and eighteen followers of the Yan family, this battle lasted for a long time and could not be distinguished.
The women and children of the Yan family were arranged by Yan Yunpei to hide in the small stone cave behind the rockery, so their lives would not be in danger for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, Du Chenghuan and Yan Jinxuan arrived at Yan Mansion, and Du Chenghuan's soldiers immediately joined the battle.
Soon, the dead man's side was at a disadvantage.
The dead who had the upper hand immediately fled.
Du Chenghuan wanted to send troops to chase after him, but Yan Jinxuan raised his hand to stop him: "Forget it." β
Du Chenghuan smiled and told the soldiers to stop.
These runaway dead soldiers escaped not far before they were killed by the people sent by Yan Shichong to follow them.
When these people sent to follow the dead man went back to report to Yan Shichong, Yan Shichong couldn't believe it at all, and his body trembled and fell straight back, and Gu Yungang hurriedly held him up.
"If it weren't for Du Chenghuan, we would definitely not have missed this time." Yan Shichong said through gritted teeth.
Thinking that maybe tonight, the father and son of the Yan family would go to the emperor or the third prince to expose his private weaponry, so he hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Immediately stop all the work of building those three warehouses." Also, anyone who asks about this matter must deny it with all their might, otherwise, they will be killed. β
"Yes." (To be continued.) )
