That night, Lü Buwei, Zhao Kuo, Ying Yiren and the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion took advantage of the vast night to secretly leave the Lu manor, and galloped away in the direction of the valley. By dawn, the four horsemen had already entered the defense area of the fortress.

"After the canyon is the official road of Jinyang, I can enter the Qin country before dark!" Zhao Kuo had studied the terrain of the mountains and rivers on the border between Qin and Zhao, and when he saw that Yingyiren looked nervous, he opened his mouth to persuade him.

As he spoke, he heard a chaotic sound of horses' hooves from the spurs.

"Not good! The pursuers are coming! Lu Buwei exclaimed, and for the first time, his always gentle face showed a panicked look, "How is this good?" ”

"Don't panic!" Zhao Kuo calmly raised his right hand high and shouted: "Le Ma!" ”

Before the four horsemen had stopped, a team of centaurs had already arrived in front of them at a gallop. Through the hazy dawn, it can be clearly seen that these people are all Zhao soldiers in uniform and leather armor.

"My life is at stake!" Ying Yiren didn't expect to be caught up by the pursuers so soon, so he threw away his horsewhip in frustration and prepared to be captured.

At this moment, a leading general in the Zhao army's horse team suddenly jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Zhao Kuo and reported: "According to the orders of the lord, Le Yiqin led a hundred elite flying cavalry guards to wait here for a long time. ”

The flying cavalry iron guard was originally a cavalry unit carefully trained by Zhao Kuo, and the Yinshan Huma, which was all the elite of the Zhao army's elite iron cavalry. The original establishment was 1,000 people, but in the bloody battle of Changping, except for a team of 100 people to protect the shogunate of Zhao Kuozhong's army, the remaining 900 people were incorporated into the Zhao Zhuang army, and finally died with Zhao Zhuang, so the flying cavalry iron guard was only left with this last hundred horses.

"What? Thou art righteous? Lu Buwei looked him up and down in surprise, when he robbed the prison a few months ago, Le Yi was still full of beard and looked like a martial artist. But today he suddenly shaved his beard, and in a panic, Lu Buwei really didn't recognize him.

"Lu Gong is frightened!" Le Yi smiled at Lu Buwei, then flew on his horse and ordered loudly to the flying cavalry guard behind him, "Pass my order!" Lu Gong and the other four horsemen were in the center, and Li Heng led twenty horsemen to escort them! Zhao Liang rode first to explore the way! After Sikong Hao's ten horses are broken! The rest of the people are scattered around! ”

"No!" A hundred flying guards shouted in unison......

Pingyuan Jun, who got Zhao Kuo's secret report, slept until noon the next day before staying at home, and the doorman Mao Sui had already been waiting outside the door for a long time: "Lord, the Lu manor and the apartment where Ying Yiren lived are empty, and Ying Yiren may have fled with the profiteer!" ”

"Got it!" Pingyuanjun replied expressionlessly, looking leisurely and complacent as he had expected.

"If this person escapes, there will be endless troubles! Please send an army after you! Mao Sui didn't know that Pingyuanjun was deliberately delaying time to let Zhao Kuo go, and his heart became even more anxious.

"Panic? Wait for the military report first. Pingyuanjun scolded unhurriedly, and then beckoned to the maid and ordered, "Prepare soup and bathe." ”

"Lord!" Mao Sui looked blankly at Pingyuanjun, who was slowly leaving, and didn't know what to do for a while.

After soaking in hot water for half an hour, Pingyuanjun saw that the time was almost exhausted, so he easily put on his coat and walked back to the front hall, calling the butler and asking in a low voice, "Has the military report ever arrived?" ”

The butler hurriedly took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and respectfully held it in front of Pingyuanjun: "The military report is here." ”

"Read." Pingyuanjun didn't reach out to receive the military report, but just lowered his head and said lightly.

"Scout Detective: A horse team entered the valley early this morning, with strange whereabouts, I am afraid that the people will flee Qin, please wait for the king's order." There were only a few words on it, and the butler quickly read it through. But after a long time, the Plains Monarch still didn't have the slightest reaction, and the butler looked up puzzled and asked, "What instructions does the Lord Monarch have?" ”

"Oh, oh, oh......" Pingyuanjun suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "Let Jinyang Order send flying horses to guard the exit of Yan and Gu." ”

"No!" The butler answered.

"Mao Sui, you go to the Wu'an camp and transfer troops to chase after you, this is a tiger talisman." Pingyuanjun turned his head to look at Mao Sui, who was restless, and then slowly walked to the main case, took out a black tiger talisman from a small wooden box, turned around and handed it to Mao Sui.

"No!" Mao Sui hurriedly reached out and took the tiger talisman and rushed out of the front hall impatiently.

Pingyuan Jun looked at Mao Sui's distant back, and his heart suddenly moved: "Although it is delayed for half a day, Zhao Kuo should pass through the canyon no matter what he says at this time." However, what if you are caught up by the pursuers? No way! No whatever! The old man has to go out in person! ”

Thinking of this, Pingyuanjun hurriedly waved and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

……

However, it was said that Zhao Kuo and his entourage had just walked to the pass of Yanhe, and a Zhao army suddenly poured out from all directions: "Where are you going?" Show the arrows! ”

"King Zhao Lingjian is here! We have to go to Jinyang for business in a hurry! Don't stop it! Le Yi, who had been prepared, immediately took out the black jade tiger pattern token from his arms.

"Too far to see! Dismount and check! But Lieutenant Zhao Jun seems to have doubts about Le Yi's token, and he is about to bring someone to search for it.

Zhao Kuo has a reputation in the army, who doesn't know? If you are recognized, things can be tricky. Hundreds of flying guards pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and when the situation was not right, they would start to kill.

"General Zhao Xin has an order! Immediate release! At this critical moment, suddenly a knight came galloping from a distance with a command flag in his hand.

"This ......," the lieutenant glanced back helplessly, then reluctantly waved his hand and motioned for his men to get out of the way. A moment later, a loud gong sounded: "The horse team passes!" ”

"Zhao Xin?" Zhao Kuo looked up in the direction of the captain's eyes, and sure enough, the general standing on the mountain not far away was his former subordinate Zhao Xin. Zhao Kuo sat on the horse's back and bowed deeply to Zhao Xin, and then urged the horse into the valley.

As soon as he crossed the mountain pass, the road instantly became narrow, and Le Yi decisively ordered: "Change the formation!" The Flying Guards quickly changed to a single-tailed formation.

The further he went, the more steep the mountain road became, and looking at the sky with only a thin slit exposed between the steep mountains and rocks on both sides, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Why is Brother Ma sighing?" Lu Buwei followed behind Zhao Kuo and asked puzzledly.

"I suddenly remembered the past when my father defeated the Qin army here." The prince of Qin Guo, Yingyiren, walked in front, and as soon as Zhao Kuo's words came out, he felt that something was wrong, "Uh......"

"The previous two families were their own masters, and Ma Fujun didn't have to mind." Ying Yiren turned around and said generously.

At the moment when Ying Yiren turned around to speak, he only heard a soft sound of "whoosh", Zhao Kuo secretly screamed in his heart, but before he could speak, a sharp arrow had already hit Ying Yiren's right shoulder. The sudden fright made Ying Yiren's mount kick the ground with all four hooves in an instant, and he actually fell off his master's life.

"Adversary ambush! Disperse the defense! Le Yi shouted, and the battle-hardened Flying Cavalry Iron Guards reacted quickly, scattering one after another, raising their shields and forming a defensive formation.

"Childe!" Lu Buwei, who was stunned for a moment, saw that Ying Yiren was hit by an arrow, and he didn't know what the injury was, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward and helped Ying Yiren up, only to see Ying Yiren's eyes closed, and his forehead was even more blurred with flesh and blood, it turned out that when he fell off the horse, his head hit the rock. The panicked Lu Buwei hurriedly asked the housekeeper to fetch the hemostatic powder, and hurriedly helped Yiren to apply it, but fortunately, he was only in a coma for a while, and there was no major problem.

Zhao Kuo looked up at the same time as the alien was hit by an arrow, and vaguely saw a white flutter disappearing into the reckless trees in the mountains. That fleeting back made Zhao Kuo suddenly have a sense of déjà vu. With a thought, Zhao Kuo shouted at Le Yi: "Le Yi! Defend Duke Lu and the son of the alien. ”

Before Le Yi could react, Zhao Kuo had already jumped off the horse and climbed up the mountain along a sheep intestine trail next to the road. After chasing for a long time, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a white shadow flash under his eyes, and then half of his body disappeared in the grass.

"Where to go!" Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward, and the horizontal sword stopped the other party in front of him.

Zhao Kuo fixed his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was actually a woman in white holding a hunting bow and a light veil wrapped in long hair and shawl. Seeing that there was no way out, the masked woman threw her bow to the ground and stopped speaking.

Why did the girl attack me? Zhao Kuo saw that the other party had put down his weapon, so he removed his long sword and shouted in a low voice.

"Childe." Unexpectedly, the masked woman suddenly choked up and muttered.

"You ......" Hearing the voice, Zhao Kuo's whole body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly pulled off the veil wrapped around her face, "Sister Xue!" ”

"Childe, come with me." Ji Xue didn't have any extra words, lowered her head and touched her tears, and then forcefully moved Zhao Kuo's hand, regardless of whether he followed or not, she actually raised her feet and left.
