Chapter 68: Meet Again

In the silence of the night, only the sonorous hooves of horses echoed on the official road. Originally, Ji Qingchen did not recommend taking the official road, because there are many people, and it will be easy to expose his goals. However, at Bai Xiangcheng's insistence, he still listened to the advice of this loyal subordinate.

After galloping for more than an hour, the brigade was about to cross a small stream in front of them. Suddenly, at this moment, Bai Xiangcheng restrained his war horse. The 900 cavalry battalion stopped moving forward at the same time. Bai Xiangcheng said to Li Changzheng on the side, "Send a few people to the bridge to take a look." ”

"No!" Li Changzheng received the order and rode away at a gallop.

Ji Qingchen, who rode forward, asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xiang Cheng?"

"Your Highness, I have an ominous premonition, and I always feel that there is an ambush waiting for us on the other side of the bridge." Bai Xiangcheng said uncertainly.

"It was a temporary decision for us to go out of the city to Wannian County tonight, and no one knows what to do, Brother Xiangcheng is too worried!" Ji Qingchen said with a faint smile.

"Probably!" Bai Xiangcheng muttered to himself.

Suddenly, just as the two were talking, a scream came from the silent night, and then Li Changzheng's hurried voice was heard shouting, "Your Highness, there is an ambush-"

"There is an ambush, prepare for battle!" When Bai Xiangcheng heard Li Changzheng's roar, he immediately rode forward and ordered the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of fires lit up on the other side of the bridge, and when he counted them carefully, he found that there were about 400 people. At the same time, Ji Qingchen heard a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he heard the sound to tell the number of others, this cavalry was about four hundred.

There is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back!

At this moment, Ji Qingchen already understood that he was surrounded by enemies!

At this time, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had already received the order of Bai Xiang City, and instantly set up a formation to surround Ji Qingchen in the middle. The enemy in ambush on the other side of the bridge did not cross the river, but quietly watched the cavalry camp on the other side of the river.

Ji Qingchen, who was standing in the cavalry camp on horseback, glanced at the enemy on the other side of the river, and then moved his gaze to the cavalry approaching him, with a calm face.

In an instant, the cavalry finally rushed to the front, and when it was a hundred paces away from the cavalry camp, it restrained its horses.

Their movements are clean and uniform.

It's definitely a battle-hardened team!

The leading military general is not tall and emaciated, but his eyes are bright, even if he covers his face with a black cloth, Ji Qingchen can still feel the current gloomy smile on his face.

"With just your four hundred people, and the four hundred people on the other side of the river, if you want to intercept and kill this king, is it too self-sufficient?" Ji Qingchen sneered.

"Your Highness, do you look down on the cavalry composed of nine hundred gentlemen around you too much?" The military general on the opposite horse mocked, "They are a group of scum who walk birds, fight cocks, enter casinos, and visit green houses!" ”

Surprisingly, no one in the Xiaocai camp said anything to refute his words, just like Li Changzheng, who has always been hot-tempered, did not open his mouth to refute. Because at this moment, everyone deeply felt a fierce murderous aura emanating from the cavalry on the opposite side, pressing on them like a mountain.

"Is it Beijung's Elite Rider?" Ji Qingchen sneered.

He was too familiar with this kind of oppressive murderous aura, and he had encountered the elite of the Yellow Flag in the Eight Banners of Beirong outside Ningzhou City. I didn't expect to encounter such a cavalry again outside King's Landing.

"Your Highness is worthy of being Li Qingyi's disciple, that's right, we are the iron cavalry of Beirong Zhengbai Banner, last time we let His Highness escape outside Ningzhou City, this time we will not make the same mistake as last time." The military general on horseback on the opposite side said, obviously very confident.

"Dare to be so confident outside King's Landing and want the king's life, I'm afraid you still have reinforcements, right?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically.

"Not bad!" The general replied, "However, we also have to thank Your Highness for that. ”

"Oh?" Ji Qingchen was puzzled, "For what?" ”

"Because, today you ordered the blockade of King's Landing, and now that someone has discovered that we want to kill you, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city can't get out." Immediately, the military general said frankly.

"Haha-" Ji Qingchen laughed loudly, he felt very ironic, he didn't expect that the order he gave would put him to death.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as Baixiang City is here, you won't let the Beirong barbarians hurt you in the slightest!" Bai Xiangcheng rode forward and said loudly.

He held a horse lance, his eyes contemptuous of the generals in the enemy cavalry on the opposite side, his whole body was murderous, and the battle was monstrous. Because he met his father's killer, ten years ago, his father was the prince Ji Chengqian, who followed Dayan, and died at the hands of the Beirong cavalry under the Yanmen Pass.

"The cavalry battalion will fight to the death! The Beirong barbarians will never be allowed to hurt His Highness in the slightest! Li Changzheng, who had galloped back from across the bridge, and nine people, including Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, and Zuo Zongquan, rode forward and stood beside Bai Xiangcheng and said sharply. After almost a month of training and four brutal decisive battles, they have found out their original blood.

The Beirong military general on the opposite side did not speak, but rode on his horse and waited quietly. At this time, Ji Qingchen knew that he was waiting for a reinforcement, but he still did not give the order to attack and break through to Baixiang City. Because he was also waiting for this support to appear, he wanted to see who else was among the people who wanted to kill him for thousands of miles besides the Beirong cavalry?

In a moment, the crisp sound of horses' hooves came from behind the Beirong cavalry.

The voice is not slow, it is very rhythmic.

Ji Qingchen, who was proficient and familiar with cavalry warfare, knew that another cavalry appeared in front of him, and the number was probably between two hundred.

As soon as this cavalry appeared, the Beirong cavalry took the initiative to make way for them. This cavalry rode through the passage given by the Beirong cavalry and galloped to a distance of eighty paces in front of the cavalry camp before reining in the horses. As soon as a general appeared, even though he was still covering his face with a black cloth, Ji Qingchen still recognized him at a glance - Iron Sword!

Last time I was in Qiaoshan, I wanted to intercept his iron sword!

Eight years ago, with only one long sword, he broke the charge of the 3,000 cavalry of the Great Yan, and from the encirclement and interception of the 3,000 Great Yan elite cavalry, he killed a bloody iron sword that returned to the east!

A man who became a god in a battle and is as mysterious as a sword!

The forger of the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword Force!

"I didn't expect it to be an old man, and it is really an honor for this king to be able to see Mr. Tiejian again today. I didn't expect Mr. Iron Sword to still be so unafraid of death! Ji Qingchen said coldly.

For this former enemy, he has an unforgettable hatred!

"Iron Sword is also surprised! After experiencing the last assassination, I didn't expect His Royal Highness Nine to still not cherish his life so much! Iron Sword replied as well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two opened their mouths to answer, they were full of murderous aura and competed against each other, which shows how deep the hatred is!

"The one who wants this king's life-" Ji Qingchen paused and replied proudly, "I'm afraid it's not you, Mr. Iron Sword." But whoever wants your life must be the king tonight. ”

"Last time, with the help of Guo Quan's brothers and sisters, His Royal Highness the Ninth was able to escape and save one of his lives, this time without the two of them, with the nine hundred gentlemen behind His Highness, Tie Jian really doesn't understand, where does His Royal Highness the Ninth get his confidence?" Iron Sword said mockingly.

"If this king says that this king is here to wait for Mr. Tiejian tonight, I wonder if Mr. Lu Dao can believe it?" Ji Qingchen said with a faint smile.

There was a slight sly and a bit of smugness in his confident smile, which seemed a little bewildering in this silent night.

"We've been planning tonight's operation for a month, and we've decided to sacrifice some people's lives for this, does Your Highness Nine think we'll still fail?" Iron Sword said coldly.

"Mr. Tiejian can be so confident, this king has nothing to say, he can only fight to tell the difference, but this king still has a little puzzle in his heart, please Mr. can answer."

"Does His Highness the Ninth want to ask, why do we always want to kill?" Without waiting for Ji Qingchen to ask, Tie Jian spoke.

"That's right! Please sir can answer the question! Ji Qingchen said sincerely.

In fact, he has never been able to understand this problem. Because when he first returned to Dayan, someone wanted to kill him on the way, and he felt that it made sense. But now that they have returned to King's Landing, they have very few threats to the Eastern Wilderness and Western Shu, Lingnan, Beirong, etc., why do they still want to kill themselves and then hurry?

"The answer is very simple, that is, someone wants His Highness to die." Iron Sword replied briefly and forcefully.

"Let Beirong, Xishu, Donghuang and Lingnan participate together, just to kill this king alone, I'm afraid no one in the world can afford such a high commission, right? Mr. Iron Sword, a swordsman of his generation, why would he use such nonsense to deceive this king? Ji Qingchen was slightly displeased.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth is wrong, not only Beirong, Xishu, Donghuang and Lingnan, but also the departure of the north." Tie Jian said solemnly, "But there is really no one in the world who can afford to let the five countries unite to kill the commission of the Ninth Highness. But there are people in the world who can give enough benefits to the Five Kingdoms after killing the Nine Highnesses. That's enough. ”

Ji Qingchen, who was riding on the horse, sneered.

"Your Highness the Ninth doesn't believe it?" Iron Sword asked rhetorically.

"How do you make this king believe?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate your own strength, at that time, outside Ningzhou City, you broke the Tuobani 500 Yellow Flag Elite Cavalry with only one hundred forest horses, and you were enough to be proud of the world with this strength. We Beirong people worship the strong the most, even if you are my enemy now, but I still worship the strength. The military general in the Beirong cavalry on the opposite side spoke, "So, even if you die here tonight, I, Huang Taiji, will give you a ride with heroic etiquette." ”

The generals in the Beirong cavalry said it sincerely, and at the same time he also said his name - Huang Taiji.

"Thank you!" Ji Qingchen said calmly, "This king will also bury you with aristocratic etiquette!" ”

The cold wind is bleak, and the dramatic conversation between the two ends here! There was a cold and bloodthirsty atmosphere on the battlefield, the fighting spirit was strong, and the war was about to break out!
