"Kill !!" Zhao Jie's guards rushed into the battle group with giant swords in their hands, killing the incoming enemy, which greatly relieved Huang Haoyao's pressure.

"Sister Xu, are you afraid?" Turning his head and staring at the approaching enemy, Zhao Jie asked Xu Tianjindao beside him.

Xu Tianjin paused when he heard this, looked at Xu Yang who was not far away, and then said affectionately: "As long as there is him, no matter where I am, I am not afraid." Zhao Jie couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

"But as far as I know, Brother Xu's father is against you being together." Zhao Jie continued to ask: "He thinks that the two of you are not in the right household. ”

"I don't know what to do, Xu Lang told me that everything is left to him, I believe him." Xu Tianjin replied, his face full of happiness.

With a "whoosh", Zhao Jie aimed at an incoming enemy, fired arrows, and the target fell to the ground in response. Zhao Jie handed the bow and crossbow to Xu Tianjin, took the crossbow machine in his hand, and continued to aim and shoot the enemy.

"Sister Xu, we can be regarded as bloodbathing together!" Zhao Jie said to Xu Tianjin while aiming: "If we can survive after this battle, I recognize you as my godsister, what do you say." ”

"How can this be? Your Highness, don't look at jokes, I'm just a mere servant, how can I be your sister. Tianjin replied, a look of disbelief on his face.

"The husband has a word, and the horse is difficult to chase. His Royal Highness said that he would do it, and he did what he said. Zhao Jie paused and continued: "I remember that since we realized that I haven't given you a meeting gift, this promise can be counted as a meeting gift!" ”

"Then thank you, Your Highness." Tianjin thanked him with joy.

"In this way, you are the right person with Brother Xu, and with the marriage, I think Xu Guowei has nothing to refuse, I will congratulate you first." Zhao Jie said with a smile.

With a "whoosh", another incoming enemy was shot. Within two or three minutes, Zhao Jie had already shot five or six incoming enemies, but after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and the incoming enemy was getting closer and closer to the carriage.

"Ah Xu, it's time to attack, kill with me." Zhao Jie and Zhao Xu jumped out from behind the car and rushed towards the enemy without hesitation.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ......" roared through the heavens and the earth.

This battle was fought in a real way, there was no strategy at all, and the two sides were not fighting blood, meat, strength, people, and hard work without exception. From the beginning of the unitary hour to the fall of night, Zhao Jie and others relied on their blood to support them for half an hour and smashed the enemy's plan. When the enemy retreated under the cover of night, Zhao Jie and the others were so tired that they lay on the ground, if the enemy attacked again, they might not be able to hold on.

"Those who are still alive should be called." Zhao Jie shouted with the only strength he had left, and after a while, there was an intermittent response in the air.

"Zhao Xu is here."

"Takatsuki is still alive."

"Long live Huang Hao."

"Zhao Ying is in great trouble and will not die."

“……”

With his voice, Zhao Jie roughly counted the casualties. Three of Zhao Jie's guards died, two of the honest guards died, four of Xu Yang's guards died, two of Lin Shouyi's guards died, all of Feijin's guards died, three of Zhao Ying's men died, six of the maids and scholars died, ten of the internal guards who guarded their line were killed, and there were still thirty people left.

"Thirty!" Zhao Jie couldn't stop muttering three words in his mouth, and after a while, he fell asleep.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on Zhao Jie's face, and Zhao Jie woke up from his sleep. Looking at everything on the road, Zhao Jie was speechless for a long time.

"Brother Jie, are you alright?" Zhao Ying found Zhao Jie who woke up, so she walked up to him and asked with concern.

"How's it going?" Zhao Jie was silent for a while, then asked.

"Shouyi's two knives in the back are not a big deal, Fei Jin has not woken up yet, Gao Le is seriously injured and is being treated, Huang Haoyao is only slightly injured, Xu Yang is treating the injured, and almost all the people who survived are seriously or lightly injured." Zhao Ying sighed, and then said.

"Brother Ying, did you say I was wrong? Was my decision to protect Huang Gongzi right or wrong? Zhao Jie hid his face when he heard this.

Zhao Ying said meaningfully: "I think life is similar to business, you need to make appropriate investment, and different investments often need to pay different costs." Decisions in life are similar to investment decisions, there is no right or wrong, as long as you feel that it is worth it, then do it, as for the effort in between, don't care too much, it is a necessary effort before reaching the goal. ”

Zhao Jie was enlightened when he heard this, and instantly solved the problem that plagued his heart, he bowed to Zhao Ying, and said, "Brother Xie Ying's guidance." ”

In the evening, Huang Haoyao led Zhao Jie and his party to an inn outside Pengcheng. Perhaps because yesterday's battle was too fierce, in the past day, Zhao Jie and the others had a smooth journey, and they were not at all as expected - constant trouble. "Maybe they're licking their wounds!" Zhao Jie thought.

Although there were no hitmen blocking the way along the way, the non-stop progress throughout the day had caused them a lot of physical exertion, and with the injuries on their bodies, by the time they arrived at the inn, most of them were too tired to straighten their waists. Seven or eight rooms were set, two or three tables of food were ordered, and the wounded companions were taken care of, and when all this was done, it was already dark, and the sound of the missed time was heard, and it was already daytime. Zhao Jie returned to his guest room, fell asleep on the side of the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Outside the inn, several people in nightwear hid in the darkness and talked quietly.

"Big brother, find out clearly, the person Jin Xiang wants to kill lives in the middle room on the second floor, do you want us to go and be him now."

"This is not busy, second brother. I now want you to tell Jin Xiang this news, and ask him to send more people. This time, we must kill with one blow and must not give our opponent a chance to turn the tide. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, that's where it goes."

A large net was quietly spreading to the people in the inn.

————————————————————————————————————

The next day, the sun was shining in the sky, and Zhao Jie woke up leisurely from his sleep. Open your shining eyes, a landscape painting comes into view, the foot of the mountain is lush with beautiful trees, strange flowers are burning, a clear stream, from the depths of the flowers and trees zigzag under the mountain stone gaps. The mountainside is flat and wide, and the flying buildings on both sides are inserted into the air, and the carved and embroidered sill are all hidden among the trees. The clear stream is pouring snow, the stone pierces the clouds, and the white stone is the railing, surrounding the edge of the pool. Gradually towards the top of the mountain, the snow is covered with snow, and the sky is connected, and the soft and soft brushstrokes are about to protrude from the wall. Turning over and looking at the wall on the other side, there is a painting of a black dragon painted on the wall, the dragon's body is long and curved, with two claws, a long tail, ears, dragon horns, its horns are like a deer, its head is like a camel, its mouth is like a donkey, its eyes are like a turtle, its ears are like a cow, its scales are like a fish, its whiskers are like shrimp, its belly is like a snake, and its feet are like an eagle. The dragon's whole body is set off with moire decorations, which looks mysterious, as if it is about to fly down with teeth and claws. Zhao Jie was attracted by the dragon, he carefully looked at the painting of the ink dragon, and saw the person who painted the painting - Ye Gong written under the ink dragon. "I didn't expect this seemingly ordinary inn to have a famous masterpiece, I'm afraid the ordinary is deliberately pretended!" Zhao Jie thought.

Getting up from the bed, Zhao Jie carefully observed the furnishings of the inn for the first time. A simple bed is located in the center of the room to the south, and to the east of the bed is a table with a candlestick in front of it, on which the candle has been extinguished. To the west of the bed is a square table for entertaining guests, leaning against the windowsill for a view. The inn rooms are very tidy, the ground is paved with wooden planks, which have been spotlessly clean, and the smoke of a good incense in the central large xuan furnace is constantly rising. Behind the door of the guest room, there was a sword, which was Zhao Jie's saber, and there were still blood stains on it.

Pushing open the window, a round of red sun in the sky, the ice covered by the river has all melted, and the river water has returned to its original state, flowing smoothly, playing the "river water sonata", ding dong ding dong. A little green grass appeared on the ground, broke through the soil, and secretly came out of the soil, tender and green.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Jie opened the door, only to see Huang Haoyao standing at the door. "Brother Zhao, it's time to eat. I've got a big breakfast prepared, come downstairs! Huang Haoyao said with a smile.

"I'll be there shortly." Zhao Jie answered, returned to the room and began to brush his teeth and wash his face, while Huang Haoyao continued to knock on everyone's rooms one by one.

"A new day has begun, and hopefully it will be a smooth day." Zhao Jie, who had washed his face, thought so.

At the same time, the integrity of sending letters from far away in Chudu also thought of it.

Note: Ye Gong is a real person in history. "Ye Gong" is not surnamed Ye, his original name is Shen Zhuliang, the character is high, and he is still the official nobleman of the Chu royal family. His great-grandfather was the king of Chuzhuang, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his father, Shen Yinshu, had made many great achievements in the battle between Wu and Chu. Subsequently, the state of Qin sent troops to repel the Wu army, and the king of Chu Zhao named Shen Zhuliang to Yeyi as Yin. Yeyi is located outside Fangcheng, an important town in the northern Xinjiang of Chu State, and he was only 24 years old when he was sealed. According to historical data, during the reign of Ye, Shen Zhuliang adopted the policy of recuperating with the people, raising soldiers and recuperating the people, and developing agriculture, so that the national strength increased greatly. He also organized the people to build water conservancy, which was one of the earliest water conservancy projects in China. With Fengyi as the surname, the descendants changed their surname to Ye, because of their good performance, they were respected by the government and the opposition of Chu and the princes of various places.

Ye Gong does have a hobby of painting dragons, but dragons are deified animals, and it is impossible to descend Ye Zhai, "Ye Gong is a good dragon" reflects the rich connotation of the dragon culture of Ye Gong's location and era.
