In the mountains at night, from time to time there was a howl or two of wild beasts and the whining of owls.

The night fog hit, the midsummer night was a little cool, under the hazy moonlight, there were not a few stars in sight, the sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance.

In the dark night, a carriage hurriedly came, the carriage that was originally extremely sturdy and luxurious, also squeaked and staggered and almost fell apart, the sedan car was scattered everywhere, and the wind brought up by the gallop lifted the curtains, only to see Princess Wukang, Yu Baoqing and Xi'er sitting inside.

A swift group of men and horses followed closely behind, galloping quickly in the night, riding their horses and whipping their horses.

In the middle of the quiet forest, the trees are staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python crawling over the meadow.

After about an hour, the convoy slowly stopped, and it was Li Ji and the palace guard Tian Anqi who took the lead.

Li Ji walked quickly to the luxurious carriage and said, "Princess, since we separated from General Xiao, the Blood Demon Palace has been chasing after us, and now we have fewer and fewer people. ”

Princess Wukang sighed lightly and said: "For the sake of Fengyun, I didn't expect the Blood Demon Palace to send so many people to rob and kill, or this princess was careless and ignored the strength of the Blood Demon Palace." ”

Yu Baoqing was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't expect that the stunning girl sitting in the car turned out to be the princess of the dynasty, so he hurriedly pulled Xi'er's sleeve, knelt in front of Princess Wukang tremblingly, and said: "The grass people don't know that the princess is driving, how offensive it is, it's really damned, the princess has a lot of old and rude, please forgive me for being rude." ！”

"Get up, please! Now that danger is lurking, there is no need to be polite. Princess Wukang hurriedly picked up Yu Baoqing and Xi'er, paused, and said to Xi'er, "You are Xi'er, right?

Xi'er didn't understand why the princess asked this question at this time, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she seemed to be a little shy, her handsome face was flushed, and she said: "Xi'er has been dependent on her father-in-law since she was a child, and she has never had a favorite person!"

Princess Wukang raised her eyebrows slightly at this moment, with a lazy smile on her handsome face, and her voice was like a warm spring breeze, and said: "Xi'er has also reached the age of marriage, and after returning to the palace, this princess can introduce you to some famous families and official families, and find a good husband!"

Princess Wukang's eyes like stars and bright gems made Xi'er seem to be beating a little faster, she hurriedly stood up, bowed, and said softly: "Xi'er thank you for the princess's kindness, but Xi'er is still young and hasn't thought about it yet......"

"Well, let's talk about that later!"

At this time, Tian Anqi, the palace guard, walked over and said, "Princess Qiyu, we have now entered the Shenlong Mountain Range, where the mountains are dense and forested, easy to hide, and usually sparsely populated, the Blood Demon Palace definitely didn't expect us to take this route." ”

Princess Wukang nodded and said: "There are many people in the Blood Demon Palace, and the eyeliner is all over the world, I am afraid that there will be an ambush on our route, so be careful! ”

Tian Anqi said: "The subordinates are willing to fight bloodily, never give up, and swear to ensure the safety of the princess." ”

Princess Wukang said: "This princess is quite worried about General Xiao, he is the person entrusted by his father, the important weapon of the country, and there must be no mistakes." Now that he has only led the thirteen iron horses, he is probably not the opponent of the Blood Demon Palace. Tian Anqi, now you can lead the troops to support General Xiao!"

Tian Anqi said: "Princess, you must not do it! This is very dangerous, your subordinates should not leave an inch, how can you leave without permission!"

Princess Wukang said: "It's okay, just leave more than ten cavalry guards, they want to hurt this princess too early." ”

"This ......"

"Go, be sure to bring General Xiao back alive, otherwise you are the only one who asks!"

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

Tian Anqi arched his hand towards Li Ji and said: "Brother Li, although you and I don't have a deep friendship, but I think you are a hero with iron bones, Tian is here to entrust the safety of the princess to you, I hope Brother Li is careful in everything!"

Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, he had always been at odds with Tian Anqi in the palace, and he couldn't imagine that what he said today was serious and sincere, and he couldn't help but return: "Brother Tian doesn't need to worry too much, unless Li Ji falls, no one wants to hurt the princess's cold hair." ”

"Then there will be work!"

After speaking, Tian Anqi stepped on his war horse and led most of the iron cavalry to support General Xiao, leaving only more than ten elite Janissaries behind.

Li Ji said: "Princess, this place is already the Shennong Mountain Range, and it is already the boundary of Shennong Mountain Villa, and it is expected that those bull ghosts and snake gods of the Blood Demon Palace will not dare to chase and kill here." There is still about an hour to go, and we can go to Shennong Villa, why don't we wait for General Xiao to return from Xianjin Villa. ”

Hearing this, Princess Wukang nodded and said: "Shennong Villa is the first village in the world, and it is also a martial arts faction, and the Blood Demon Palace is very jealous, so let's go in the direction of Shennong Villa!"

Yu Lao Dao: "I am grateful for the princess's life, but after all, I was rooted in Yangxian, and I am reluctant to leave this time, so it is better for me and Xi'er to say goodbye to you here!"

Li Ji shook his head and said: "Boss Yu, now that the Jiangzuo Martial Arts factions and the Blood Demon Palace are looking for you everywhere, if you show up again, you may be killed, why don't you go to Shennong Villa with me, my master and senior brother are very good and easy to get along with, they must have a way to solve it." ”

Yu Lao Dao: "The world is so big, there is no place for old decay, I don't care, it's just that Xi'er suffers, follows me to suffer and suffer, runs around, and dies in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xi'er said: "Father-in-law, don't say that, Xi'er has been lonely and helpless since she was a child, desolate and pitiful, if it wasn't for her father-in-law to take her in, I don't know if she would have survived until now." ”

Li Ji stepped onto the horse and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's go!"

So Li Ji led ten elite guards and a luxury carriage to Shennong Villa.

Before he had gone a mile, a strange laugh suddenly sounded in the valley, resounding through the sky, breaking the silence, and in this silent valley, this laughter seemed creepy.

The two horses pulling the carriage were frightened and rushed forward.

The carriage ran out of control and rushed forward, the wheels constantly hitting the trees and stone walls along the road, Li Ji was shocked, and rode towards the runaway carriage.

Seeing that the carriage was about to crash into a big tree in front of him, Li Ji suddenly slapped the carriage, and the carriage tilted and fell to one side, avoiding the big tree.

Li Ji jumped into the carriage, his hands tightly grasping the reins, and the two horses raised their hooves, neighed into the air, and suddenly stopped.

Because of the sudden stopping, the carriage jolted, and there was an exclamation from the car, and a figure flew out of the carriage.

If you don't die, you will fall to the ground.

Li Ji leaped up from his horse, caught the frightened man in mid-air, and slowly fell.

Maybe he was frightened, maybe he felt that he had walked around in front of death, or maybe he was the instinct to survive, the girl in his arms hugged Li Ji's neck in shock, and her face was pale and motionless in his arms.

Li Ji fixed his eyes and saw that this girl was Xi'er.

Xi'er slowly came back to her senses, saw that she was in Li Ji's arms, her hands were still around his neck, her pale face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly let go of her hands and struggled out of his arms.

But the fright just now was too great, his legs were weak, and as soon as he left Li Ji, he fell to the ground and sat down.

Li Ji quickly grabbed her and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Touched by Li Ji again, the girl's neck turned red, and she forced herself to stabilize her mind and barely stand firm.

Li Ji let go of his hand and stood on one side.

Xi'er thanked him with chattering teeth: "Thank you much, thank you for the life-saving grace of Gong Li and Gongzi." ”

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't have to take it to heart. ”

"Ahem!"

The carriage curtain was lifted, Princess Wukang coughed twice in a low voice, glanced at Li Ji and said, "I didn't expect you to have this skill!"

Li Ji was inexplicably surprised by her, and was not sure how to answer, at this moment, with a few "clangs", the canopy of the carriage was caught by steel wire hooks in four different directions, and suddenly exploded and turned into an open-top carriage.

Princess Wukang and Yu Baoqing jumped out of the carriage and looked around vigilantly.

"Hey......

A gloomy laugh came into my ears: "I didn't expect that there were two flower-like girls hidden in the car, and the stinky boy was very happy!"

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in a pale green shirt sitting alone under a big tree, motionless, squinting as if he was asleep.

Li Jijian raised his eyebrows and said: "Who is coming, dare to block the road here, if you know each other, get out of the way, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." ”

The young man in the green shirt stood up, stretched his waist, and said coldly: "The stinky boy who has not dried up dares to take care of your grandfather's affairs and look for death." ”

Later, more than a dozen elite guards who caught up with him, saw a young man in a green shirt blocking the way, and couldn't help but be furious: "It's you who is looking for death!"

As he spoke, an elite of the Praetorian Guard shot a sharp arrow from afar, and a silver arc crossed the air, hitting the young man in green shirt.

The figure of the young man in the green shirt flashed away, like green smoke, and he dodged the swift arrow.

A sneer flashed on his face, and he laughed and said, "Carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of grandpa, I will let you know what a dark arrow is today!"

Seeing that he was in a strange shape, he could easily dodge the arrows of the Praetorian Guard's marksman, and he was absolutely unusual, and asked in unison, "Who are you?"

The young man in the green shirt said proudly: "Your grandfather's name is Snow Wolf, have you heard of it?"

Li Ji also walked up, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it!"

When the young man in the green shirt heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ji disdainfully: "I look at you, this kid, you don't look like a martial arts person, but like a hillbilly!"

When the elite of the Praetorian Guard heard the word snow wolf, their faces changed abruptly, and they seemed to be a little shocked, they all glanced at each other, and shouted angrily: "You are the notorious snow wolf, the son of the Tang Sect, who has killed countless righteous people in my Qi country in the past few years, and if you meet here today, you will pay for it with your life!"

Snow Wolf Yin smiled and said, "If you have the ability, take it yourself!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the young man in the green shirt speaking, more than ten elite Janissaries rushed away together.

Li Ji secretly said that it was not good, in the battle between the two armies, the iron cavalry charged into battle with great power, and sure enough, the opponent was a martial arts master, especially a secret weapon expert, it was tantamount to asking for a dead end.

was about to say a warning, but unfortunately it was too late, only to hear the screams of the war horses, more than ten elite riders fell to the ground in an instant, their bodies were full of dark green silver needles, and they were all killed.
