Chapter 348: Ambush on the way
Squeezing a few wisps of slanting light through the branches and leaves of the dense forest, kneeling on the ground, Li Xiaofeng's forehead oozed several beads of sweat the size of beans, but the corners of his tightly closed mouth outlined an arc of happiness. Xiao Qi was squatting beside Li Xiaofeng, with an anxious face pulling the strip of cloth that had just been pulled off the corner of her skirt and carefully bandaging Li Xiaofeng's wound, as if she was nervous or concerned, and a thin layer of sweat also floated on the side of her cheeks.
"Xiao, Xiaofeng, does it still hurt?" Finally, after tying up a bow on the strip of cloth that bandaged the wound, Xiao Qi let out a long sigh of relief and asked softly with some caution.
"It's okay, it's okay, some minor injuries!" Although the wound still kept transmitting pain, Li Xiaofeng still refused to admit it, and after shaking his head again and again, he pulled the deep wound on his left arm while getting up, and couldn't help frowning secretly, but he hung his head deeply, as if he didn't want to show any uncourage in front of Xiao Qi.
After raising his head again, Li Xiaofeng's grinning face had been replaced by a sunny smile, he glanced at Xiao Qi with comfort, nodded slightly and comforted: "You weren't hurt just now, right?" Didn't scare you, did it? ”
"I'm fine." Xiao Qi hurriedly shook his head, and then his heart became hot, his eyes shifted to Li Xiaofeng's injured arm again, and he lowered his eyes a little apologetically and added in a low voice: "It's me who dragged you down, otherwise you wouldn't have to." ”
"Don't say it, it's a minor injury!" As if he didn't want to see Xiao Qi become like this, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head nonchalantly to interrupt. But subconsciously, Li Xiaofeng raised his right arm, as if he wanted to take advantage of Xiao Qi's shoulder, but after the arm was raised, it stayed in the air, and then smiled awkwardly at Xiao Qi, who was full of surprise, waved his arm a few times with a red face, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That, let's go quickly, so as not to have any ambushes nearby." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Qi glanced at the four corpses not far away, and was slightly stunned, and when he retracted his gaze, he had already seen Li Xiaofeng turn around, but somehow, Xiao Qi suddenly felt that Li Xiaofeng's back was very lonely at this time, especially the steps he took, which seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he had a sense of helplessness.
With a slight movement in his mind, Xiao Qi bit his red lip lightly, and then as if he had made up his mind, he trotted two steps towards Li Xiaofeng, and when he arrived at his side, without waiting for Li Xiaofeng to react, he grabbed Li Xiaofeng's right arm, and then his face turned red, and he deliberately pinned his gaze to the side, as if he wanted to avoid embarrassment.
"Uhhhh Belch.. For this sudden change, Li Xiaofeng walked out seven or eight meters before he reacted, and for a while he didn't know what to say because of the nameless excitement, and when Li Xiaofeng seemed to think about what he needed to say, he raised his eyes and saw that he had arrived in front of his war horse, and before he could speak, he heard the concern of Xiaoqi next to him: "You get on the horse first, you don't need to help me, I can do it myself." ”
"Uhhhhh Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng was slightly stunned, then subconsciously pulled the reins with one hand, and easily turned on the horse's back with a little force on his arm, and then leaned back as much as he could, and when he stretched out his hand to answer Xiao Qi, he saw Xiao Qi get on the horse with no less than his reaction.
This time Li Xiaofeng was even more embarrassed, because Xiao Qi was already sitting firmly on the back of the horse at this time, and Li Xiaofeng's outstretched arm was still in mid-air. However, Xiao Qi didn't embarrass Li Xiaofeng too much, turned his face sideways, giggled, and said softly: "Hehe! Sit down, I'll take you with me this time! ”
"Uhhhh Good, good. From beginning to end, Li Xiaofeng seems to be in a semi-active and semi-passive state, and it is the same at this time, as for the opening to respond, it is almost entirely a subconscious reaction.
Along the way, both of them had their own hearts, except for the occasional sound of urging horses from Xiao Qi's mouth, neither of them took the initiative to break the silence. Especially in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, his eyes were distracted, and he seemed to be still immersed in what had just happened, of course, it was not a matter of killing the four assassins, nor was it a matter of being injured at a critical moment to rescue Xiao Qi, but it was just a brief scene, Xiao Qi rushed to his side with a worried face, and struggled to tear off the corner of his skirt and bandage the wound.
has been silent, and even caused Li Xiaofeng to not see the anomaly on the side of the road at all, at least ten black-clothed people in strong suits were scattered and hidden in the woods on both sides of the roadside, but when he was about to attack, a tall man with a leading appearance suddenly waved his hand and signaled everyone to continue hiding.
"Chirp chirp." Xiao Qi, who was running on the wide avenue, suddenly pulled the reins in a hurry, Li Xiaofeng's miscellaneous war horse seemed to be in order to cooperate with the master's intentions, and suddenly his hooves were raised forward, resulting in a sudden change, Li Xiaofeng had to hug Xiao Qi in front of him tightly so that he would not fall off the horse.
"Whew. It's the hussars. After the sudden assassination just now, although Xiao Qi said that he was calm on the surface, he had actually become a frightened bird, and just now with a little glance, he found the smoke and dust in front of him, and at the same time he grabbed the reins and looked at it, only then did he see a pair of wings standing tall behind the smoke and dust, and at the same time let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand and stroked his chest twice, but only then did he find that Li Xiaofeng's arms were wrapped around his chest, and he couldn't help but blush, and lowered his head deeply.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Li Xiaofeng, who reacted, also turned red, hurriedly let go of his arms, and at the same time leaned back as much as possible, and apologized again and again: "Yes, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to. . . I'm so embarrassed. ”
However, before Xiao Qi could speak, he saw a small group of winged cavalry galloping in front of him, and a Lang general led by him shouted at Li Xiaofeng and Xiao Qi from a distance: "General Xiaofeng, Miss Xiao Qi!" Seeing that the two of them had not gone back for a long time, Hou Ye specially sent the last general to respond! ”
"Hmm." Li Xiaofeng lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and nodded in response: "Okay, let's go back first!" ”
"General Xiaofeng?! You're hurt?! The distance between the two was only slightly closer, and the Lang general, who was the leader, immediately discovered the bandaging of Li Xiaofeng's arm, exclaimed, and immediately raised the riding gun in his hand, and shouted at the people behind him: "Alert!" Alert! Be aware of your surroundings! ”
Suddenly, more than 20 winged cavalry urged the war horses, almost instantly surrounded Li Xiaofeng and Xiaoqi in the middle, some carried bright steel riding spears, some were holding delicate Fubo crossbows, with the slow movement of Fubo crossbows, a pair of brilliant eyes swept on every inch of land and every big tree around.
"This general, it's all right." Seeing this, Li Xiaofeng looked at it a little embarrassed, and explained with a chuckle at the winged cavalry general Lang who led him: "These are just the four assassins I suddenly met just now, there may not be other assassins around, let's go back first!" ”
"General Xiaofeng, wait a moment. This matter is not trivial, and I will not dare to rashly obey my fate! General Lang at the head was frowning, although the status of him and Li Xiaofeng in the Feng family army was very different, but there was no relationship between them and their superiors, after all, the feather cavalry regiment belonged to an independent legion in the Feng family army.
Immediately, General Lang, who was the leader, didn't care about Li Xiaofeng, who still wanted to interrupt, suddenly bent down and pulled out the Fubo crossbow from the saddle, and shouted at everyone: "Go to the crossbow!" Three shots per person! Stand Launch! ”
"Order!" More than 20 people responded in unison, and under the shouting of the heaven-shattering sky, more than 20 Fubo crossbows were suddenly raised in two fan shapes and scattered towards the roads on both sides.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou!.. ”
More than 20 crossbow arrows only made a brief sound of breaking through the air, and then they saw the unanimous movement of everyone, lowering the Fubo crossbow in their hands, and suddenly lifting the foot on one side of the saddle, and slamming on the special mechanism of the Fubo crossbow.
"Cards! Card! Card!... ”
A crisp winding sound sounded one after another, and then I saw a handful of Fubo crossbows suddenly raised, and once again fanned out to the sides.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
"Change formation, retreat!" Without waiting for the wind again, the leader Lang suddenly plucked the war horse, raised his head and shouted, but everyone's next actions were extremely consistent with before, even under the mutual change and interspersed formation, it did not have any impact on everyone's winding.
"Kakaka."
"Chirp. Tweeted.. ”
The neighing of the war horse and the sound of the winding of the Fubo crossbow were mixed together, but the team of more than 20 people had already begun to move slowly, including Li Xiaofeng in the middle, who also hurriedly pulled the reins, and with his eyes paying attention to the movements of the winged cavalry, he also straightened the horse's head, stepped on the stirrup, and slowly moved forward.
"Withdraw!" The leader of the Lang general raised the Fubo crossbow in his hand high, and when he landed on the horse's belly, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and while the war horse ran with his hooves raised, the Fubo crossbow in his hand casually pointed to the woods on one side, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
A series of breaking sounds sounded one after another, and each steel arrow was like a headless fly, drawing a series of cold and cold lights, and at the same time, it was fired at random in all directions without purpose.
By the time the sound of the trees breaking through the air gradually disappeared completely, the assassins in the woods were already billowing dust and smoke, and under the pale golden sunset, only a pair of snow-white wings could be faintly seen behind those cavalry.
"Fuck! This is the elite cavalry of the Feng family's army? The leading assassin who had signaled to his subordinates at the critical moment just now that there was no road to intercept Li Xiaofeng and Xiao Qi was covering his left arm at this time, staring fiercely at the dust and smoke in the distance, and said in a deep voice through gritted teeth.
"Yes, the elite cavalry of the Feng family's army, the winged cavalry!" Beside him, an assassin who seemed to have a good relationship with him also had a deep gaze, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw that blood was gushing out of the leader's wound, and a cold steel crossbow arrow pierced his arm.
These assassins arrived in a hurry after learning the news of Li Xiaofeng's fall, but on the way, they had already found Li Xiaofeng and Xiaoqi from a distance, and they had no choice but to prepare to ambush on both sides of the road, wanting to wait for Li Xiaofeng to arrive by surprise when he arrived, but he didn't expect that in the end, he killed a Cheng bite gold halfway.
It's a pity that in the end, not only did he not cause any damage to Li Xiaofeng, but three of his brothers were injured by stray arrows, and one of them was shot through the chest by a crossbow arrow, and he saw that he was already less breathless and more breathless.
"Go back and make plans first!" Waiting for the wound to be treated simply, the leading assassin ordered viciously and in a deep voice, this kind of taste of stealing chicken and rice is really uncomfortable, like a half-dead fly stuck in his throat, so that he can't vomit if he wants to, and it is too disgusting to swallow.
