Drive! Drive! "On a mountain road on the outskirts of Xijing in the Dafu Empire, a richly decorated carriage was galloping, and a young eunuch was driving the carriage with an anxious face.

At the back of the carriage, there was a group of cavalrymen in dark blue armor. If the people see it, they must know that this team of soldiers is the most elite and best-equipped team in the Dafu Empire, the Blue Feather Guard who is responsible for guarding the palace.

But what is surprising is that this team of usually majestic Blue Feather Guards seems to be being chased. At this time, the clothes on the body were messy, the formation was also a little scattered, and some people even had injuries.

"Damn, how can there be bandits on the outskirts of the capital!" A young man dressed as an officer said as he ran.

"Brother, I don't think this matter is simple, how can bandits have such good equipment and such strong combat power." It was a slightly older officer next to him who spoke.

"Brother Qi, according to what you say, someone wants to target His Highness the Thirteenth?" The young officer suddenly realized.

"Xiaowei, we don't care about anything else, our task now is to desperately send His Highness Thirteen back to Xijing, if something goes wrong, none of us will survive."

"Brother Qi, when I came, General Qianniuwei said that you were in charge of this mission, and I will listen to you all about what to do."

"After the front of the Yellow Sheep Valley, it will be more than ten miles to the official road, and it will be safe when you get there. I'll tell them to stop first. ”

After the officer surnamed Wei finished speaking, the black horse under the seat hurriedly took a few steps and stopped the carriage in front.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Thirteenth, the Yellow Sheep Valley in front, the terrain is a little complicated, send someone to check it first, and then pass, Your Highness, please wait."

After a while, a gap opened in the curtain of the carriage, and a maiden who looked like a palace maid stuck out her head.

"His Royal Highness said that everything is in charge of Captain Qi, and he only hopes to get out of danger as soon as possible and return to the capital."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will fight to kill the thief and not let the enemy hurt Your Highness!" After Captain Qi finished speaking, he immediately arranged for several soldiers to run towards the valley in front.

Captain Qi was obviously an experienced officer, and he stood by the carriage himself, and asked the captain named Xiaowei to send someone to guard the rear in case the enemy caught up.

Soon after, there was a shrill whistling sound ahead.

"The soldiers who explored the way have successfully rushed through the valley, Xiaowei, you take people to the front, I will break the back, protect His Highness's carriage in the middle, and rush over as fast as possible."

This Blue Feather Guard is worthy of being a battle-hardened soldier, and although in this critical situation, he still calmly marched forward in line according to the command of Captain Qi.

The valley is not long, and the carriage has already traveled more than half of the entire canyon, Captain Qi looked at the peaks on both sides and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Ahh With a miserable scream, Captain Qi looked up and saw a soldier with a long arrow stuck in his neck, slowly falling to the ground. Stones, logs, and arrows flew down the hillside like rain, and many soldiers fell screaming.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic, with roars, screams, and neighing of war horses resounding through the valley.

"Don't panic, protect Your Highness!" Captain Qi shouted loudly while blocking a section of rolling wood with a spear. After a period of panic, the soldiers shielded their heads and protected the carriage to a dead end of the attack.

"These sons of bitches are really haunted! Pity these sons, who have fought on the battlefield for many years, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of their own people. The young lieutenant, who had withdrawn from the front, said indignantly.

Captain Qi hurriedly sent someone to count the number of people, only fifty or sixty people gathered here, and many people were injured, that is to say, at this meeting, most of them were broken.

"Brothers, hiding here is not a long-term solution, this will be more dense with arrows and wood and stones, and they will listen to my command and kill them together." Captain Qi shouted loudly.

At this time, the young lieutenant had already helped a young man in a brocade robe from the carriage. And this young man obviously had not experienced this scene, and he looked at the young eunuch who died tragically by the carriage in horror, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.

Behind this young man, there were two sixteen or seventeen-year-old palace maids. The two palace maids were still a little timid, but they didn't collapse on the ground in fright. At this time, a man with a long sword in his hand followed behind the young man.

"Your Highness, this carriage is too much of an obstacle to break through, only His Highness will ride out later." Captain Qi said respectfully to the young man.

"Captain Qi, are we going to die here?" The boy was supported by two guards, and his legs trembled.

"Your Highness, don't worry, these brothers are all battle-hardened warriors, and they will definitely protect Your Highness and rush out."

As he spoke, the arrows and wood and stones flying above were much reduced, but there were many black-clad masked men with weapons in their hands, shouting and rushing down the hillside. Behind the valley, there were also shouts of killing.

"Brothers, rush out, if you are surrounded, it will be over!"

As the guard shouted, the young captain helped the young man onto a war horse, and everyone shot down the arrows flying overhead, and rushed towards the outside of the valley.

The distance between the valley was not long, and after a while, everyone rushed out of the valley. However, many soldiers fell in the valley.

"Xiaowei, you take His Highness to go first, and I will resist the pursuers."

"No, Brother Qi, you have a wife and children, I am alone and have nothing to worry about, you protect His Highness and go, I will resist them!"

"At this time, I can't care so much, if something happens to His Highness, everyone, his wife and children will not want to live, you have injuries on your body, you can't stay and resist for long, go quickly!"

"Okay, Brother Qi must come back alive, brother is waiting for you to drink together!"

"Good!"

The young lieutenant couldn't screw it, and he knew that now was not the time to fight. Turned around and rode a war horse, and together with three guards, protected the boy and the only remaining official girl.

The valley is still more than ten miles away from the official road, and it will be much safer when it reaches the palace road, so the young captain led a few people to run wildly all the way, regardless of the long arrows stuck in his back and the blood that kept flowing out.

As soon as he had walked a few miles, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing could be heard from behind, and the young lieutenant's face suddenly changed color.

"Your Highness, they're catching up! You take your coat off! As he spoke, he took off the boy's coat and put it on himself. Then he turned to the rest of the maid.

"Miss Qingzhu, let's go and lead away the pursuers, you take His Highness to the path, climb over this mountain, and walk dozens of miles, and it will be safe to reach the military camp outside the city."

"Okay, Brother Chen Wei, be careful." The palace maid named Qingzhu said something of concern, and then took the frightened young man and hid in the bushes by the side of the road.

The young lieutenant and the three soldiers rushed forward, and after a while, dozens of masked men in black flew on flying horses. But he didn't stop, and chased straight ahead.

"Let's go, Your Highness!" Qingzhu led the boy out of the bushes.

"I ...... My legs were weak and I couldn't walk. The boy whispered.

"If Your Highness can't walk, the slaves and maids don't have the strength to carry you away, and when they come, we will die." Qingzhu looked at the wet place between the young man's legs, and there was some contempt in his tone.

"Okay, let's go, let's go!" The boy whispered.

The two walked more than 100 meters to the rear, burrowed into a dense forest, and walked deep into the mountain.

"How far is it, I can't walk!" After about a tea time, the boy was out of breath, he had never walked such a mountain road!

"It's not far ahead, Your Highness has to hurry up, they're about to catch up."

The two of them walked up the hill again, to the top of a cliff.

"Oh, why is there no way, what can I do? What can I do? Looking at the clouds and mist under the cliff, the young man was frightened and overwhelmed.

"Your Highness, look, that's not the road?" Qingzhu pointed to the side, but when the young man turned to look, a sword stabbed at him.

"Qingzhu, you...... What are you doing? The boy was stabbed with a sword, bleeding profusely, and looked at Qingzhu in horror.

"The slave maid sent our Thirteenth Highness on the road!"

With that, Qingzhu drew his long sword and prepared to stab the young man in the chest again.

Seeing this, the young man was so frightened that he retreated again and again, but without thinking, he stepped on the air and fell down the cliff.

"Useless things, save this girl from making up for another sword." Qingzhu said, threw the long sword down the cliff, and then turned to leave.
