Looking at a huge pit two zhang long and half a zhang deep under the ground, Yi Jiuxiao smacked his tongue, and the Jindan monk's blow was actually as strong as this.

Just when Yi Jiuxiao was startled, King An Yuan, who was standing in mid-air, suddenly fell down and fell straight down, and all the soldiers exclaimed.

"Father. With a coquettish cry, in the carriage, a woman in red flew out, stretched out her hands to catch King An Yuan, and then brought King An Yuan to the carriage, the whole process was very fast, so fast that many people did not see the woman's face.

But Yi Jiuxiao saw it, and saw it clearly, how powerful his eyesight was.

This is a fresh and refined face, a kind of beauty without fireworks, a cold arrogance, and a sharp knife as sharp as a knife, all of which are compatible with a woman's body.

Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but sigh, it was the first time he saw Qi Qingru, for more than two months, Qi Qingru and the princess were almost in the chariot and did not show up.

Qi Bin gave an order, and the team set up camp in the open space in front of them, and a large tent was erected in the center of the camp, and array flags were placed around it, so that the sergeants could not approach or peep.

King Anyuan sat on the flat couch in the camp tent, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and the seventh princess, Qi Bin, and the county lord Qi Qingru stood next to him.

"Qi Bin, you invite Deputy Envoy Yi to come in, I have something to discuss. King An Yuan's mouth spat out a voice, his eyes were still closed, and he didn't seem to have the strength to open them.

"Father, it doesn't matter to you, it's all the flying boat!" Qi Qingru stood in front of King An Yuan, her eyes were red, and tears rippled.

"Don't blame the flying boat, only blame myself! The emperor gave me the magic weapon of the royal family's flying boat, just for the first aid of the princess, I am too impatient, too light on the enemy, blame me!"

King Anyuan's words were full of infinite remorse, the flying magic weapon was not usually available to monks, and it could only be controlled freely in the late stage of Jindan. He used it forcibly in order to rush at that time, which is why it caused such consequences.

In a moment, Yi Jiuxiao followed Qi Bin in, and when he saw King An Yuan in such a situation, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted him: "See the prince, how are you doing now?"

"Deputy Envoy Yi, I am seriously injured, and I can only cultivate and heal for at least three months, so please come over and discuss how to arrange the itinerary in the future. ”

King An Yuan's injury is indeed a very serious matter. He was the number one master of the entire escort team, and he was also the only Jindan monk, he couldn't do it, and the combat effectiveness of the entire team was greatly reduced.

Although the forbidden army is well-trained, it can only deal with the early stage masters of Jindan, and if you encounter the middle and late stage masters of Jindan, or several early stage Jindan, you cannot guarantee safety.

Now that he has arrived in Shazhou, he has left the capital for 7,000 miles, and it is impossible to turn around and return to Ganzhou, because there is still a river behind him.

Go forward, more than 3,000 miles is the border, the border should be garrisoned, if you can contact the garrison, seek the protection of the garrison, and wait for King An Yuan to recover from his injuries before leaving.

As for finding local states and counties for protection, it is actually useless, even if the states are too guarded, it is only the early stage of Jindan's cultivation. Even if he is in the team, it won't play much role, and the safe way out at the moment is to find the border army.

After thinking about this, Yi Jiuxiao replied: "Lord Wang, the subordinates think that you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and the team should continue to move forward, all the way to the border, find the border garrison for protection, if possible, send someone to contact the garrison and let them come over to pick it up." ”

"Hmph, find the border army, this place is three thousand miles from the border, how long will it take to find them, you know? Don't listen to him, father, let's continue the original route, and our daughter will definitely try to keep everyone safe. The county lord Qi Qingru was angry when he saw Yi Jiuxiao, and he was even more disdainful of his strategy.

Ru'er must not be rude, because her father feels that what Deputy Envoy Yi said is very reasonable, the subsequent march route is adjusted, and the direction of the border garrison is offset, and the march must be more cautious to avoid being attacked by sneak attacks. Qi Bin, you select a few people from the hundred escort troops, rush to the border day and night, go to the Wuwei general Song Ding, and ask him to send people to help. ”

This Song Dingguan worships the mighty general, like Wan Shumad's father Wan Tianfeng, who is also a famous general of the Qi State and the early stage of Jindan. However, Song Ding guarded the western frontier of Qi all the year round, and Wan Tianfeng guarded the northern frontier.

Song Ding has a heavy army in his hands, and there are several Jindan monks under his command, if he can send someone to help in time, it can greatly reduce the danger.

After everyone left the tent, Qi Bin immediately selected four people from the hundred guards, two in the early stage of foundation building, two in the eighth layer of Qi training, these four people are good at spying and stealth, they took the letter of King Anyuan, rode fast horses, and left the team that night.

The people rested all night, and on the second day they left camp and continued their journey.

This Shazhou is a border state and county of Qi State, sparsely populated, often within a hundred miles of people are difficult to see, and the market town is even more difficult to find.

The worst thing is that the roads, although they are also post roads, are dilapidated, compared with those in Ganzhou, they are much worse, the roads are rugged and dangerous, and the chariots and horses are difficult to pass.

The weather is dry, and it is no longer rainy all day long in Ganzhou, but the yellow sand is all over the sky, and the whole sky is shrouded in dusk, and it is difficult to see the day, which makes people feel particularly depressed.

Yi Jiuxiao rode on the horse, and couldn't help but think of the Northwest Yangguan of the Great Song Dynasty, how similar it was. I also remembered a famous poem by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty: "Persuade the monarch to drink a glass of wine, and there is no one to go out of Yangguan in the west." ”

In this whole day, he only traveled only fifty or sixty miles, and before the sun set, Qi Bin ordered to set up camp. Yi Jiuxiao ate dinner and slept in his carriage.

After King An Yuan was injured, as a deputy envoy, he was supposed to preside over the affairs of the escort team, but in fact he was an idler who didn't care about anything. All actions were decided by Qi Qingru and Qi Bin, and he almost didn't even ask him, Qi Bin was okay, at least on the surface, he still respected Yi Jiuxiao very much, but Qi Qingru looked at each other angrily.

No one was looking for him, so Yi Jiuxiao pretended to be fine, ate when he should eat, slept when he should sleep, and rode a horse with Qi Bin at the forefront of the team every day.

But in his thoughts, he always felt a chill in the back of his head, no need to guess, he knew that it was Qi Qingru staring at him, which made Yi Jiuxiao quite depressed, thinking that I provoked you, eldest lady?

There was nothing to do for five consecutive days, and the team walked a total of 300 miles, and everyone's mood slowly relaxed.

On the morning of the sixth day, the procession was marching down the road, when suddenly a man appeared in the sky, who was the tall monk who had fled that day.

Qi Bin was shocked in his heart, and Shen Nian immediately sent an order to the shield army, and a hundred shields floated into the air in a moment, protecting everyone and the chariots and horses.

But the tall monk did not attack, and when he saw the shield array, he immediately flew away and disappeared without a trace.

Qi Bin didn't think that the tall monk was scared away, but he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only order the team to move on, the shield army was on full alert, and the flying sword army was ready to attack at any time.

After walking for about two hours, the tall monk reappeared in the air, and the Flying Sword Army immediately attacked, and two hundred flying swords shot into the air. But the tall monk was not in love with war, and disappeared from everyone's view in an instant.

Qi Bin had no choice but to let the team continue to advance, and at the same time, all branches of the army strengthened their vigilance and stood ready for battle.

Encamped at night, Qi Bin did not dare to be careless, and was on duty with the deputy commander Zheng Yuanhu in shifts to strengthen the defense.

Sure enough, the tall monk appeared twice more during the night, and then disappeared, leaving everyone unable to rest all night.

Fortunately, everyone is a monk, and if a mortal does not sleep, he will be listless. Even so, it was quite a drain of mana and mind, after all, all the soldiers were low-level monks.

Yi Jiuxiao's secret path is not good, this is the enemy's tired tactics, it is very dangerous, if there is no strategy to confront, it will inevitably be exhausted, and finally defeated by it.

Usually the best way to deal with this kind of disturbance is to lure, the enemy to harass, we don't do it, trick it to do it and then destroy it. However, he does not have a master who can fight him alone, and it is very risky to use the trick of luring the enemy.

Thinking of this, Yi Jiuxiao had an idea, this tall monk was injured and fled after being defeated at that time, and he must not have known that King An Yuan had been injured, so he repeatedly tried to see if King An Yuan could make a move.

In this way, when he came again, all the sergeants were indifferent and made an empty plan to see how he reacted.

At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, and the team had not yet set off, and the miscellaneous sergeant was cooking. Yi Jiuxiao told Qi Bin his thoughts, and Qi Bin didn't dare to make the decision alone, so he immediately invited Qi Qingru to the meeting tent to discuss.

After Qi Qingru heard this, she was immediately so angry that she clenched her silver teeth, pointed at Yi Jiuxiao's nose and asked, "You are so bold, if the other party sees through and makes the fake come true and hurts the princess, can you be responsible?"

"I know this move is dangerous, but what if you don't take the risk now, do you have a better way?" Yi Jiuxiao was not timid in the face of Qi Qingru's accusation, but just asked calmly.

"I don't have a good way, but I don't agree with your method, if you want to risk your own way!" Qi Qingru really couldn't figure out how this mortal could do so much, he really thought how great his deputy envoy was.

"Okay, I'll take an adventure, ask the county lord to let the princess ride in a carriage with you, and you will protect the princess closely, and I will sit in the princess's phoenix, and when the enemy comes to disturb today, for the first time, you will focus on protecting the phoenix and attract his attention to the phoenix. Then harass him and ignore him, if he dares to attack Feng Yuan, you take the opportunity to attack him, how about it?"

These words made Qi Qingru and Qi Bin stunned, this method is really an idea, but Yi Jiuxiao bears the greatest risk, if he suffers a blow from the early stage cultivator, he will definitely die.

Qi Bin couldn't help but admire Yi Jiuxiao from the bottom of his heart, whether it was a cultivator or a mortal, who was not afraid of death, and how many people were really willing to give up their own!

Qi Qingru was also surprised, in her eyes, Yi Jiuxiao was a weak mortal, a useless reader, a cowardly and willful guy, but was Yi Jiuxiao really such a person? She was a little skeptical of her opinion.
