Chapter 49: Chaotic War
Before Xiao Shilian's words fell, a noisy voice suddenly came from behind him, and the old guards around Xiao Shilian drew their sabers at the same time, squinting slightly in the direction they came from.
And Li Xinchen and the others also stopped and turned their heads: "What's the matter?!" โ
"Someone!" Xiao Shilian's voice was not high, but it was very urgent, "There are many people. โ
Li Xinchen took a breath lightly, there should only be one entrance to this cave, and when someone came over, it stands to reason that it should be the villagers who followed behind. But the twists and turns of this road are deep, Li Xinchen and they have all experienced it just now, four strong young people plus two old soldiers who have been tempered by battlefield battles have walked for about half an hour, not to mention the women and children behind them.
If they could catch up so quickly, it would be hell to die.
"Not good!" Li Xinchen said almost subconsciously, and suddenly looked sideways at Xiao Shilian.
Although Xiao Shilian's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Li Xinchen knew that Xiao Shilian had also guessed.
The reason why these women and children are running so fast is that nine times out of ten, someone is catching up with them. And this pursuer is naturally those bandits who are looking for them outside the mountain, as well as the Northern Zhou armor.
Xiao Shilian stomped his feet with hatred: "It's too fast, even if there is really any exit here, where are we going to find it?" โ
Li Xinchen gritted his teeth: "Without further ado, now we can only hope that those bandits and barbarians will not dare to go deep into this cave, Seinfeld, Li Qiu!" โ
"In!" Seinfeld and Li Qiu fought together to fight a spirit.
"You two go up and see what happened, and General X and General Xiao are here to find if there is an exit!" Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, at this time, he didn't worry about handing over this place to Song Fei and Li Qiu, but he just hoped that the existence of the two of them could help Old Man Zheng and Old Man Song, "If the matter is urgent, then inform Yu quickly!" โ
Xiao Shilian nodded: "You two also go up, and you must buy time with your brothers!" โ
"No!" The two old guards, who were originally the Xiao family's personal guards, agreed without hesitation and took the lead in returning along the same route. And Seinfeld and Li Qiu also hurriedly followed.
Xiao Shilian didn't look behind him, patted Li Xinchen directly, determined Li Xinchen's location, and then handed him the thing he was holding in his hand: "Take it." โ
"It's ยทยทยทยทยทยท Fire excerpts? Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment.
"There is only this one left in a certain hand, although the fire fold is far less than the torch, but at this time it is better than nothing, you must save a little use, just a few." Xiao Shilian said with a wry smile.
Li Xinchen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You listen to the sound of this water flow is quite loud, as we guessed before, so much water cannot be stored directly here, there must be a drain, and this drain should be the road to the outside." The surrounding stone walls are slippery and steep, and there seems to be no hole, and the other holes should be under this pool, and the water flows down, which is also in line with this reason. โ
Xiao Shilian frowned, groping around the wet walls as he said in a deep voice, "Are you so sure that the passage is enough for us to get out?" โ
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Li Xinchen chuckled, "I believe that there is no way to be endless, not to mention that we are now on a desperate road, is there any other choice?" โ
Xiao Shilian couldn't help laughing, obviously in his opinion, Li Xinchen was also a temperamental.
Li Xinchen didn't say much, just walked straight towards the waterhole.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ-
"Quick, let's go!"
The only remaining torch was also unwillingly extinguished in the drumming wind. The endless darkness engulfs the overlapping figures. Slippery roads and walls, along with darkness, consume any life that would try to break into its territory.
The sound of arrows whistling from behind him came from time to time, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of running water, the exclamations of the soldiers, and the sound of the wind. No one knows where the enemy behind him is, but it is very clear to everyone, including Old Man Zheng and others, that it is impossible to resist for too long with the little men and horses brought by Xiao Shilian, and when the time comes, those young and strong pursuers will definitely go faster than these villagers who help the old and the young!
"Uncle!" Seinfeld and Li Qiu breathlessly walked through the crowd of people who were moving forward in a panic and found the place where Old Man Zheng was, "Uncle, is that you?" โ
Although it was impossible to see who was coming in the dark, Old Man Zheng still heard the voice: "The old man is here, and he is still angry!" โ
However, Seinfeld and Li Qiu didn't care about savoring this cold joke at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Uncle, what happened?" โ
Old Man Zheng patted the shoulders of the two of them, stretched out his finger and pointed to the back: "Listen." โ
The sound of hurried footsteps poured into my ears with the sound of the wind. Seinfeld's face changed slightly: "Uncle, without further ado, we will take you away, everyone is in front, we can't leave you alone." โ
Old Man Zheng pushed Seinfeld away: "Don't worry about me, the old man, I'm afraid the old man can't walk, it's better to stay in this place to buy you some time, but don't forget that the old man was also killed in the sea of corpses and blood, even if his legs and feet are not good now, standing here to help you block the ability of one or two guysยทยทยทยทยทยท There are still. โ
"Uncle!" Seinfeld hurriedly tried to pick up Old Man Zheng, but the old man turned around and slowly pulled out the knife he wore on his waist at some point.
In the darkness, the old man slowly turned his head, looked at Seinfeld and Li Qiu with complicated expressions on their faces, and couldn't help laughing: "Life and death parting, but so, my family Aqing is gone, Brother Li Cheng is also gone, and the old man is alone, so he will compete with these barbarians who come, and his life will be in vain!" โ
The footsteps became more and more dense, and the screams rose and fell one after another, in front of the enemy who was pouring in, even if most of these soldiers brought by Xiao Shilian were experienced in a hundred battles, it was difficult to stop for too long, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was fatal.
"Let's go." Li Qiu said softly. If they leave now, Seinfeld and Li Qiu still have a way to live, otherwise I'm afraid they will only end up falling here with Old Man Zheng.
Seinfeld nodded, turning to chase the panicked crowd ahead. And Li Qiu sighed deeply, subconsciously glanced back at Old Man Zheng's figure, and then quickly followed Seinfeld.
As Mr. Zheng said, the dearest children and best friends in his life have fallen, except for those relatives who are close to each other, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is alone, so for him, it is a good thing to be able to stay here and fight for a glimmer of life for everyone.
What Old Man Zheng asked for was actually the same as Li Cheng, but he was just a well-deserved death.
As Seinfeld and Li Qiu quickly turned the corner, there was a loud shout in the darkness behind them, followed by the sound of blades piercing into flesh, exclamations, and roars, but the sound of a thunderbolt on a sunny day dissipated again after a moment.
Seinfeld and Li Qiu didn't care about sighing, but gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.
And several oncoming figures stopped them at once.
