Chapter 237: Encountering an Enemy in the Canyon
In the past few days, Yang Yun wrote a letter to Guo Long, who was still in the fiefdom, telling him the news that Qiao Shun and others were in the country, and confirming to him whether what Qiao Shun and others said was true.
Guo Long received the letter, and if he sent a reply, it would take many days, so Yang Yun was not in a hurry. It's been many days since I came to this bleak country, and I haven't taken a good walk here, but it's rare to have some free time recently, so Yang Yun took Yao Xia, Chi Mu'er, Duanmu Jiyue and others out for a walk.
As the only city in the country, Poojiang City is actually only as big as an ordinary county town in Dafu, and the prosperity in it is far less than that of Dafu City.
Therefore, Yang Yun and the others walked all the way out of the Poojiang City, along the Poo River, and walked north along the Grand Canyon, and the beautiful scenery in the canyon was much more beautiful than in the city.
It is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the various trees along the way are lush and green, and the leaves on the trees are also different colors, red, yellow, and green...... The pairing goes well with each other. Sometimes there will be a waterfall in the mountain, the waterfall water from the peak of the water from the top of the water straight down, as if thousands of zhang brocade from the sky, the water in the poignant river is also rippling, and the green mountains and green water reflect each other beautifully.
Some people were deeply intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, especially Duanmu Jiyue, who was not in a very high mood when she went out. But at the sight of this boundless beauty, she immediately became happy, and the laughter like silver bells continued to ring in the valley.
The scenery was very beautiful, and everyone was very interested, and before they knew it, they had gone a long way into the valley.
Seeing that it was already a little late at this time, if you didn't return at this time, you might not be able to rush back to the bleak city before dark, and then everyone reacted, so they had to reluctantly go back.
"Driving... Drive... At this time, the sound of horses suddenly came from behind them, Yang Yun and the others turned their heads to look, and a knight behind them was riding a horse and galloping forward, as if there was something important.
Because this knight had a face towel on his face, Yang Yun and the others couldn't see this person's appearance clearly, but looking at the way this person was hurrying, there should be something urgent. So, Yang Yun asked everyone to stand on the side of the road and wait for the knight to pass first.
The knight was a very good horseman, and his horse was a good horse, so he quickly came to the crowd, and in the blink of an eye he was about to pass them.
Everyone thought that this knight was going to pass by soon, but they never expected that when he was close to Duanmu Jiyue, he suddenly leaned over, leaned on the side of the horse, stretched out his hand and grabbed the jade pendant on Duanmu Jiyue's waist, and then turned over and got on the horse, and continued to run forward quickly.
This one's riding skills are particularly clever, and the movements are done in one go. When everyone reacts. He's already out of the way.
"This little thief dares to rob this girl's things and catch you, he will definitely make you look good!" Duanmu Jiyue was the one who was willing to suffer such a loss, she immediately grabbed the war horse of a guard beside her and chased forward quickly.
Chi Mu'er has always been very confident in his speed, and now when he saw that someone dared to snatch something in front of him, he was not annoyed at all, but was very happy, and spread his long legs and chased forward. He wanted to see if the other party's good horse was running fast, or his own long legs were more powerful.
Seeing that Chi Mu Er and Duanmu Jiyue were both going to pursue the knight, Yang Yun was worried that something would happen to the two of them, so he ordered a few more guards and rode horses to follow.
With so many people chasing a thief, there must be no problem, so Yang Yun took the remaining guards to rest in the open space next to the road, waiting for Chi Mu'er and the others to return victoriously.
Not long after Chi Mu'er, Duanmu Jiyue and the others left, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the other side of the mountain road, and then another group of masked people on horseback appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that this group of masked people were dressed the same as the person just now, Yang Yun knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked his guards to prepare in case of a sudden attack from the other party.
Facts have proved that Yang Yun's estimate is correct, after this group of masked people appeared, they did not stop at all, and rushed towards Yang Yun and the others with weapons in hand.
On Yang Yun's side, the guards had already prepared, and when they saw the masked people coming around, they protected Yang Yun in the middle, holding swords and fighting with the masked people who rushed over.
This time when he came to the territory of the Poo, Yang Yun did not bring many guards, and left some of them in Poo Jiang City, and pursued the masked man just now, and some of them left. The most important thing is that Chi Mu'er, who has the strongest combat power among them, is not by Yang Yun's side now.
In this case, Yang Yun and the guards were immediately surrounded by masked men. These masked men are not ordinary people, they are not only excellent in kung fu, but also very strong in tactics.
They sent a few people with the highest kung fu to forcibly open a gap in the circle formed by the guards, separating the guards, so that there were only two or three guards who were still by Yang Yun's side at this time, and they were surrounded by more than a dozen masked people.
When the matter reached the most critical moment, Yang Yun hurriedly pulled out the long sword at his waist and killed a masked man.
Seeing Yang Yun running towards him, the masked man not only did not have a panicked look, but a happy look appeared on his face. Because their target this time is Yang Yun, if they come to take Yang Yun by themselves, the first credit of this operation will be their own.
Thinking of this, the masked man immediately shook his spirits and stabbed the big knife in his hand directly towards Yang Yun's chest. But this masked man underestimated Yang Yun's strength, Yang Yun only leaned slightly to the side, let go of the attacking broadsword, and the long sword in his hand was easily slashed, directly attacking the masked man's ribs.
This sword attack was extremely sudden, completely beyond the masked man's expectations, and he took a few steps back before exiting Yang Yun's attack range. By the time the masked man steady his pace and prepare to attack again, Yang Yun had already been surrounded by several other masked men.
Seeing these masked people surrounding him, Yang Yun secretly complained in his heart, it seems that this time he was careless, and he actually fell for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. For now, the only way to do this is to try to deal with the masked man and wait for Chimuer and the others who can hear the movement to come back.
There were five or six masked people around Yang Yun, and all kinds of weapons kept attacking Yang Yun, there was no other way, he only had to shake his spirit, high and low, and deal with the opponent's attacks again and again.
At this moment, Yang Yun seemed to have returned to the walls of Fufeng City, and in the face of many enemies, he could only defend hard. This is not the way, you have to break through the siege and rush out of the idea.
At this time, a masked man stabbed at Yang Yun's chest with a long sword in his hand, and if he wanted to crack this move, Yang Yun could only dodge or use his long sword to block. But what the masked man didn't expect was that Yang Yun didn't dodge the sword, but only turned his body slightly to the left, and the masked man's long sword turned into a scratch on Yang Yun's left shoulder.
At this time, the masked man, because he leaned forward during the attack, Yang Yun desperately injured himself just to wait for this opportunity. The long sword in his hand swung up quickly, directly slashing the opponent's throat.
Seeing the masked man's heavy sword fall to the ground, Yang Yun was overjoyed in his heart, because at this time, a gap appeared in the encirclement of several masked people.
Yang Yun, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped out of the encirclement as fast as possible before the other masked people could react, preparing to join the other guards.
He had just taken two steps forward, but he had to stop his steps, because another masked man with a long sword appeared in front of him and launched a fierce attack on him.
The new masked man should be the leader of this group of masked men, and his swordsmanship is very skillful. The sword that attacked Yang Yun moved quickly, and directly blocked the space that Yang Yun dodged, so that Yang Yun could only take two steps back, and he defused his attack just now.
But at this moment, several masked people from the rear followed again, causing Yang Yun to fall into the encirclement again. With the addition of the new masked man, Yang Yun's pressure immediately increased, and he completely fell into a state of exhaustion on defense.
There was no other way, Yang Yun could only grit his teeth and struggle to support, he wanted to kill and injure one or two masked people like last time, and take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.
But at this time, these masked men had already prepared, and they left room for each attack, so that Yang Yun's only few opportunities to counterattack were all lost.
At this time, there was a sudden scream from the side, it should be someone injured or dead, the masked people have the advantage in numbers, and the possibility of casualties should be their own guards.
This thought flashed in Yang Yun's heart, and the movements in his hand slowed down a little, and his right hand holding the sword was suddenly knocked on the back of his hand by something, and he could no longer hold the long sword in his hand. Yang Yungang wanted to stretch out his hand and catch the falling long sword, but the back of his head was hit hard, and he didn't know anything.
Chimur, Duanmu Jiyue and the others closely chased after the masked man who snatched Duanmu Jiyue's jade pendant, and saw the masked man turn along a mountain road in front of them, and when they chased over, they saw the war horse that the man was riding, and the person had disappeared.
"This little thief must be hiding around here, let's search carefully. Dare to grab this girl's things, and I'll let you taste this girl's power later. Duanmu Jiyue said as she led everyone to search the neighborhood.
At this time, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the mountain road behind, which made Duanmu Jiyue startled. Although Duanmu Jiyue is very arrogant on weekdays, she is also smart and smart, and she immediately knew that she had fallen for the other party's strategy.
"Big wood, suffered, your highness is in danger!" Thinking about this joint, Duanmu Jiyue hurriedly shouted to Chimur.
"You're the fastest, you rush back first, and we'll chase you right away!" Seeing that Chimu'er was still in a daze, Duanmu Jiyue was so anxious that she pushed him and said loudly.
Chi Mu'er only reacted at this time, and when he heard that Yang Yun was in danger, he hurriedly threw off his long legs and ran back like a fly.
Speaking of which, Duanmu Jiyue's reaction was also quite sensitive, and Chimu'er's movements were also very fast, and he didn't run to the place where Yang Yun and the others stayed just now.
When Chi Mu'er panted and ran to the place of the accident, he couldn't help but be stunned, because what appeared in front of him was only the dejected guards who were supporting each other, but he didn't see Yang Yun's shadow.
At the same time, the ground was in a mess at this time, and there were scattered weapons and a few stalls of blood, all of which indicated that there was clearly a terrible fight here.
