Chapter 171: Fierce Fighting
A dozen men in gray cloaks surrounded the burning tent and allowed it to burn with a crackling and unpleasant smell.
The cold wind of the snowy night blew, and the cloaks were blown and rattled, and these people stood motionless in the snow with swords in their hands.
After a cup of tea, the tent burned to ashes and the flames were extinguished.
The leader of the gray-clothed man carried a knife and ordered a person beside him: "Go forward and check it out!" ”
The man clenched his fist with a knife and stepped forward to use his knife to remove the ashes and examine them, revealing two bodies that had been burned beyond recognition.
"Chief, one person is missing!"
The gray-clothed leader's face changed, and he immediately shouted: "He can't run far, he should be hiding nearby!" In teams of three, light torches and search around! ”
"Yes!" The crowd agreed, and the trio quickly formed a team, lit torches, and scattered around the tent to search.
There was no woods or trees around it, and there was no hiding place but in the thick snow on the ground.
The gray-clad men held torches and stabbed their weapons into the snow.
The three gray-clothed people searched in front of Mulan's hiding place, Mulan knew that she couldn't hide, and quickly took the initiative to attack, she flew up from the snow, a large number of snowflakes pounced on the three people, and the sudden explosion of a large number of snowflakes made them instinctively raise their hands to block their eyes, but a cold light swept by, and the three stood upright in the snow and did not move.
"He's here, give it to me!" A group of gray-clothed men nearby spotted Mulan and took the initiative to attack.
At this point, the three people who were attacked by Mulan fell to the ground on their backs together, and a large amount of blood burst out from their necks.
The remaining dozen or so gray-clothed people quickly surrounded and killed Mulan, and since Mulan decided to attack, she would never sit still, she rose to the challenge and swung her sword to kill a group of gray-clothed people next to her.
In an instant, there was the sound of clanging weapons and shouts of fighting, and from time to time there were rumors around.
In the tent two miles away, Lu Xuanbo, who was sitting cross-legged by the tent curtain, suddenly opened his eyes, and one hand had already grasped the sword placed on his legs.
At this time, Zhao Junsheng, who was asleep, moved his ears, and quickly opened his eyes, and the whole person jumped up, and the faint sound of weapons and fighting shouts from the cold wind woke him and Lu Xuanbo.
The two looked at each other, "Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng let out a low snort, and the whole person rushed out of the camp like a leopard and rushed in the direction where Mulan was.
Lu Xuanbo carried the sword and followed behind Zhao Junsheng, he was an assassin by origin, and he had his own method of borrowing strength from his body, not only running extremely fast, but also moving lightly and silently.
But he found that he followed behind Zhao Junsheng, and he was never able to catch up with him, although the snow on the ground was thick, he couldn't bear the weight of the human body, and his light body skills were so clever that he couldn't let him walk like a fly in the snow.
Zhao Junsheng's rapid running surprised Lu Xuanbo, and he found that Zhao Junsheng was unhindered in the snow, and there were no footprints on the snow everywhere he passed.
"Hiss-" Lu Xuanbo gasped, "Walking on the snow without a trace?" ”
In shock, Lu Xuanbo found that Zhao Junsheng had gradually distanced himself from him, and he had to chase after him harder.
At this time, Mulan had already begun to fall into the crisis of the siege of the gray men, and these gray men attacked and defended with the subtlety of the army's attack and defense, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and cooperating with each other.
Although Mulan is strong in martial arts, it is extremely inconvenient to move and dodge in this snow, and there are other gray-clothed people holding bows and arrows on the periphery eyeing her, and from time to time shooting one or two cold arrows makes her quite jealous and dare not let go of her hands and feet.
"Stab", Mulan was in danger, and a long knife of a gray-clothed man was accidentally opened on his left arm, and the blood immediately stained the torn clothes.
Hua Mulan endured the pain and avoided the swords of the other gray-clothed people, and stabbed the gray-clothed people who slashed her to death with a sword, but she was forced by the other gray-clothed people to be in a hurry, losing her discipline and messing up.
Suddenly, there were several wounds on Mulan's body, and just when the danger was in danger, Zhao Junsheng, who had just arrived, quickly shot the gray-clothed man with a crossbow, and some gray-clothed people with bows on the outermost periphery were shot one by one.
And Lu Xuanbo rushed into the gray-clothed crowd with a sword and an ethereal identity to fight, a group of gray-clothed people didn't expect that Mulan would have foreign aid, and was caught off guard by Zhao Junsheng and Lu Xuanbo, and before they had time to form a military formation to defend and counterattack, they were killed by Zhao Junsheng and Lu Xuanbo.
One by one, the gray-clothed men were either killed or lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the snow, and the pressure on Mulan, who was already in danger, suddenly weakened.
Hua Mulan didn't expect that she was in a desperate situation and received external support, so she suddenly lifted her spirits and immediately counterattacked the gray men who besieged her.
In close combat, Hua Mulan and Lu Xuanbo fought, and in the distance, Zhao Junsheng shot the gray-clothed people from time to time with a crossbow, and a group of gray-clothed people died and were wounded, and more than a dozen gray-clothed people quickly lost their combat effectiveness step by step, and there was little left of Zhao Junsheng, Lu Xuanbo and Hua Mulan.
The remaining few were also quickly killed or slashed by Zhao Junsheng and the others, except for the dead, the surviving gray-clothed people were captured by Zhao Junsheng and others.
Hua Mulan was angry and wanted to stab these captured gray-clothed men to death with a sword, but was stopped by Zhao Junsheng: "Don't be busy killing them, wait until you find out who instructed them!" ”
Hua Mulan listened to Zhao Junsheng's words, accepted the sword, and forced a few captured gray-clothed men to ask: "Say, who are you?" Who sent you? ”
The few gray-clothed men who were captured turned their heads and did not speak, looking like they were at home.
After all, Mulan is a woman, a little indecisive, and she can't be ruthless, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing this, Zhao Junsheng immediately pulled out his knife and hacked one to death, and shouted to the remaining gray-clothed people and asked, "Who instigated it, say!" If you don't tell who is behind it, you will end up like this person! ”
Where have these gray-clothed people been tortured to extract confessions, one by one showed a look of fear, one of them was the most afraid of death, and immediately shouted: "Don't kill me, I said, I said, it was the youngest son of the king of Pingyang, Baba Ye, who instructed me, and we are just acting on orders!" ”
Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and Lu Xuanbo glanced at each other, and their hearts were extremely shocked, you must know that Baba Ye is the son of Ba Ba Han, the king of Pingyang, and he is a big family in the entire Great Wei, even if he does not inherit the title of King of Pingyang in the future, he will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
"I didn't expect that Ba Baye was so narrow-minded, and he would have to meet each other in life and death because of a trivial matter!"
Zhao Junsheng snorted coldly, and continued to ask: "Where is Miss Wan hidden by you?" ”
