Xiao Jing's hunch soon became a reality.

Three days later, the team rested in a deep valley. Listening to the sound of flowing water and insects chirping in the empty valley is very elegant, but it is a pity that the sudden sound of breaking the air rudely broke this rare tranquility.

The two guards of the Xia family were close to Xiao Jing. They must have crawled out of the pile of dead men, or they would not have been keenly aware of the danger through the instincts they had cultivated on the battlefield before the crossbows flew.

The moment the sound of breaking the air sounded, one of them swung his blade hard to remove the crossbow arrows that were fired, and the other pushed Xiao Jing away in the lightning and stone fire, and he himself couldn't dodge and was grazed by the arrows.

It's finally here!

Because he had been prepared, fear was just a flash in Xiao Jing's heart. Seeing that the situation was critical, he was pushed to the side, and immediately reflexively bent down and prepared to crouch behind the nearest boulder, only in this way could he avoid the follow-up attack to the greatest extent.

Who knows, the other party still has a backhand. Before he could take cover, two more bolts flew over, this time from different directions.

At this time, the two guards who were about to split their eyes could not protect their uncle even if they had three heads and six arms.

Even if Xiao Jing wore soft armor early in order to prevent unforeseen circumstances, it would be impossible to prevent such a powerful crossbow arrow!

At the last moment, a figure swooped in and blocked him.

After two pops, two arrows came out of his back, and the man fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Xiao Jing is not the only one who is in danger. In just a few breaths, several screams rang out in the camp, judging from this, the number of people attacked was by no means small.

"There are assassins!"

After a brief moment of panic, the soldiers escorting the mission responded. The people guarding the perimeter rushed to the densely wooded places in the valley with their shields to search, and those guarding the heart quickly formed a formation and surrounded a group of important people in the center.

Still, they were too slow.

is making Lord Yan already die. He had four crossbow arrows stuck in his body, one of which may have pierced his heart, so that he could not even say a word, and could only stare at the gray sky with eyes still full of horror.

The deputy envoy, Lord Tian, was slightly better, but he was also seriously injured. A crossbow arrow pierced his shoulder, and another shot his thigh through the thigh. The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that the femoral artery was not injured, otherwise it would be difficult to save the gods.

When the casualties were summed up, General Sun, who was in the dark in front of him, almost fainted.

Frightened, he walked all the way, and finally returned from the grassland safely, but he was attacked in the country, and the entire mission was killed and eight wounded, and most of the dead were high-ranking figures!

Escorting has always been a thankless chore, and General Sun's trip is not to seek merit at all, but to be without fault. After leaving the grassland, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the next step was to return to Beijing to resume his life, but who knew that there was a big disaster when he was most relaxed!

The government and the opposition were very satisfied with the success of the alliance, and these officials were all going to be promoted to knighthood after they returned. Now that the person is gone, you adults can only hold him accountable as a martial artist, and it is unreasonable for him not to carry this pot.

If he is lucky, his military position will be pushed to the end, and finally he will be assigned to the frontier as a small soldier; If you're unlucky, it's a matter of a family or even a family's head falling to the ground.

Bastard, why is this happening!

However, any army will search and guard as it advances or is stationed, and those who can ambush it with a strong crossbow without being detected must have been very well prepared, and the whole operation was premeditated.

Who is coming? For what purpose did they attack the Mission, and will they do it again?

Thinking of this, General Sun couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and shouted angrily: "What about the person who was responsible for searching the valley before Shicai settled? Slack off and miss the army, all of them will be beheaded! The order goes down, leaving one to protect the mission, and the rest of the departments are in all directions, and the thieves cannot return if they are not captured! ”

If you want to make amends, you can only try to remedy them!

As soon as the general gave the order, an army of more than 1,000 people almost poured out, pouring out of the mountains and fields in all directions.

Xiao Jing didn't have time to pay attention to the countless soldiers passing by. His red eyes were fixed on the pool of blood in front of him, and his throat felt like something was choking him, and he couldn't even say a word.

The person who fell in it covered in blood was Xia Xuan. At the critical moment, it was he who saved Xiao Jing's life by blocking the crossbow arrow with his body.

It can be seen that he can't support it for long with the rapid loss of vitality. It was strange that there was a smile on his extremely pale face.

"Why are you doing this?" Xiao Jing tried to take a deep breath and choked up: "My life is hard, the murderous Beihu Khan has not been able to kill me, how can the mere chicken and dog thieves succeed?" Besides, Xiao is also a dignified man, and when his husband dies, he will die, how can there be any reason to let others suffer innocently and die for me? ”

Xia Xuan tried to squeeze out a smile and said softly: "The villain has no father or mother since he was a child, and the Xia family raised me to exchange my life for a noble person one day, who knows that my appearance happens to be cool with you...... Guarding you is the duty of the villain, and now that I have repaid the kindness of the Xia family, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and my uncle does not have to blame himself. ”

After a slight pause, he said again: "Who in the wealthy family doesn't have a few dead soldiers?" People like us have never called for life, and in the eyes of the head of the family, they may be like an animal in the family. However, my uncle is different, the villain has not been with you for a long time, but you have never despised my identity, and at the critical moment when your life is at stake, you even risked your life in order not to let the villain die!

You're the only one who thinks I'm a human being. The soldier dies for the confidant, and the villain is not a 'scholar', but he is also willing to die for you. Walking on the Huangquan Road like this, the villain's heart is also happy, this cheap life has not been in vain to go to the world......"

His voice grew quieter, faded into inaudibleness, and after a moment it was completely silent.

Xiao Jing got up dejectedly and slammed his fist into the big tree beside him. After a muffled thud, his fist was already dripping with blood.

Who did such evil deeds?

It shouldn't be Lu Chong. He didn't dare to fight Xiao Jing's idea for the time being, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't make such a hasty move.

Then, the one who launched the attack was another group of people who Lu Shanshan said would be unfavorable to himself and the mission. A good praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and the delegation did not lose the slightest bit in Beihu, which was surrounded by hungry wolves, but was killed by their own compatriots in their own land, which is really ridiculous!

Xiao Jing raised his head and let out a long roar, full of sadness and anger drifting far away with the sound, far away......
