(Hero's Tomb Chapter 38) was attacked halfway

After half a month's trek, Nangong Qiyue led the army and had been stationed in Chengdu-Chongqing City for seven days. However, in these seven days, there was nothing abnormal in the Lidan Kingdom, which was only a mountain away from Chengyu City.

In the afternoon of this day, in a small annex in the city. Nangong Qiyue stared at the topographic map on the table, and asked Xie Yanfeng, who had just walked in, without raising his head, "What's the matter, is there any movement outside the city today?"

"Nope. ”

Walking to the table and drinking two glasses of water in succession, Xie Yanfeng replied.

"Well, that's strange! Could it be that our information is wrong?"

With one hand rubbing his chin, Nangong Qiyue's brows furrowed slightly because of Xie Yanfeng's words.

"No way!"

Glancing at Nangong Qiyue, Xie Yanfeng sat down and opened the folding fan and fanned it out.

"How could my subordinates be even wrong in such a thing as spying on intelligence!

"So what do you think is going on?"

Looking up at Xie Yanfeng, who was looking at him with a dissatisfied face, Nangong Qiyue said: "According to the intelligence, the Lidan Kingdom began to mobilize troops yesterday, but why hasn't there been any movement today?"

"Maybe they're planning to attack us!"

Xie Yanfeng said: "In short, Qi Yue, you have to remind the soldiers stationed outside the city these few nights to let them be more careful." ”

"Well, I know. ”

Putting away the topographic map, Nangong Qiyue stood up.

"I'm going to the barracks, do you want to come with me?"

"Well, let's go. ”

Although he is very tired now, Xie Yanfeng is not at ease to let Nangong Qiyue go outside the city alone, otherwise, what if there is a sneak attack by a villain halfway? Although he doesn't know martial arts, the dark people hiding inside and outside the city only obey his orders, so if there is really an accident at that time, it is safer than Qi Yue going alone.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanfeng sighed heavily, and then followed Nangong Qiyue to the outside of the city.

......

"This road is so winding and secluded, beware of ambushes. ”

Outside the city, on the way to the barracks, Nangong Qi Yuele stopped his horse and looked at the surrounding grass and trees with a solemn face.

"Hmm. ”

Knowing that the enemy is the easiest to attack in this kind of place, Xie Yanfeng also put away his usual carelessness and cynicism, and instead paid attention to the movements around him with the same dignified expression as Nangong Qiyue.

"Let's speed up, let's get past this woods as fast as we can. ”

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around at least at the moment, Nangong Qiyue raised his horsewhip and ran forward as fast as he could. Seeing this, Xie Yanfeng didn't dare to delay for a moment and followed his figure.

This forest is not big, so it didn't take much effort, Nangong Qiyue and they reached the end of the woods. However, the more she was about to walk out of this wood, the more uneasy Nangong Qiyue felt in her heart.

"Qi Yue, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Nangong Qiyue gradually slowed down, Xie Yanfeng, who had been following him, urged the horse under his crotch to walk side by side with him, and asked, "Why don't you go faster?"

"It doesn't feel right. ”

Holding his breath and listening carefully to the movements around him, Nangong Qiyue said, "Yanfeng, don't you think there's something wrong?"

"Not quite right?"

Looking around, Xie Yanfeng gradually became abrupt.

"It's really wrong, ** quiet!"

"Hmm. ”

Walking slowly forward from the horse, Nangong Qiyue vigilantly clenched the saber at his waist.

And at this moment, as if to verify what he had in mind. I only heard the sound of "whoosh", and the feather arrows shot straight at him with a cold cold light, through the layers of green leaves.

"Qi Yue be careful!"

As the feather arrow flashed white in the sunlight, Xie Yanfeng couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yanfeng, let's go!"

Quickly lay down on the horse's back and dodged the feather arrows that began to shoot at him one after another, Nangong Qiyue took the horsewhip and threw it Xie Yanfeng's horse.

"Qi Yue!"

Because of the pain, the horse that Xie Yanfeng was riding ran forward like crazy.

"Let's go!"

Roaring at Xie Yanfeng, Nangong Qiyue turned over and dismounted, and then drew his sword to shoot down the feather arrows that kept shooting at him.

"You ......"

Using all his strength to control the somewhat irritable horses, Xie Yan hurriedly took out a strange-shaped but small and delicate whistle from his arms and blew it hurriedly.

"Childe!"

After the whistle blew, five or six people dressed in black scarves and black suits appeared in front of Xie Yanfeng's horse.

"Go and help Qi Yue! make sure he is unharmed!"

"Yes. ”

When the man in black got the order, he quickly drew the soft sword at his waist and went to the place where the sneak attacker was hiding in the woods.

Seeing this, Xie Yanfeng wanted to turn his horse's head and go back to Nangong Qiyue, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he couldn't make a move and a half, and going was just to distract Nangong Qiyue to protect himself and pull his hind legs. So although he was worried, Xie Yanfeng still got off the horse, whipped him on the horse's buttocks, and then found a relatively hidden place to wait for Nangong Qiyue's figure, and in his ears, there was a faint sound of swords catching each other.
