Chapter 222: Danger is everywhere
Before leaving, Bai Qingyan glanced at the map and instructed Xiao Ruojiang: "You send two dead soldiers to Fengcheng to pick up Doctor Hong and rush to Shaoyang County next to Tonggu Mountain to pick up the Ninth Prince!" โ
"The little one has already sent someone to ask for Dr. Hong, but ...... I didn't say to go to Shaoyang County, but if you want to go to Shaoyang County, you have to pass by Youhua Road, and I will order someone to give an order to Youhua Road. Xiao Ruojiang said in a low voice.
She nodded and accepted the map, rolled it up and handed it to Xiao Ruojiang and jumped on the horse, her voice calm and tough: "Take all the dead soldiers and go!" โ
"Yes!"
Even Bai Qingyan and Xiao Ruojiang, less than 100 people rode away quickly.
Bai Qingyan rode a fast horse along the mountain road, and his heart had never been so eager.
She didn't know what Xiao Jiu's situation was, and she was anxious.
Her ears were full of the sound of the wind and her heartbeat, and she didn't light the torches all the way, and galloped all the way to Qiushan Pass by the bright moonlight.
"Drive!" She picked up her speed, hating to put her wings on.
The assassin who assassinated Emperor Xiliang, she didn't have to think about it to know what kind of torture and humiliation Xiao Jiu would suffer...... What kind of torture trampling.
The ninth son of the Bai family, Bai Qingyun is the most like the most gentlemanly among the sons of the Bai family, arrogant and hard-mouthed, the ancestral hall did not kneel less in those years, and the rattan did not suffer less, but he never changed his temper.
Bai Qingyun once scoffed at the Bai family's words about protecting his heirs, but he really deserved to be in a big disaster...... However, he resolutely protected his brother Bai Qingjue, the seventh son of the fourth son of the Bai family, led away the pursuers with his body, and went deep into Xiliang Yunjing to complete the assassination mission.
She knew that at the moment of the catastrophe, her ninth brother Bai Qingyun made an almost instinctive decision in the face of flesh and blood affection, sacrificing herself to protect her brother and ...... The orthodoxy of the Bai family was continued.
In this world, there is always something about the dignity and humility of the concubine, but for her...... This concubine is more respectful than flesh and blood, but she hopes that Xiao Jiu can live safely.
The sourness was stuck in her throat, and she swallowed it back with all her might, she held the reins tightly, her dark and deep gaze was firm and composed, and she must save Xiao Jiu, no matter what the price is.
Xiao Ruojiang saw the Xiliang Yihe team slowly walking back to Qiushan Pass on the wide road at the foot of the mountain, and lowered his voice and called Bai Qingyan: "Big girl! You see! โ
At the foot of the mountain, the team of the Xiliang army with torches winds like a long dragon, and those Xiliang soldiers were brought by Li Zhijie, the king of Xiliang Yan, to negotiate peace, and they were walking towards Qiushan Pass at this time.
Bai Qingyan stared at the Xiliang Army under the mountain, and gritted his teeth: "Xiao Ruojiang is leading the way, take a shortcut to Qiushan Pass, be sure to rescue Xiao Jiu before Li Zhijie's brigade returns to Qiushan Pass!" โ
"Yes!"
The formation changed, Xiao Ruojiang rushed to the front with a single fast horse, and the group quickly inserted alternately to form a line, and rode with Xiao Ruojiang on the slippery, narrowest but fastest mountain road.
The night is dark and the wind is high, all the sounds are quiet, in the deep forest, the black shadows are building, the road is dangerous and the road is difficult, the horses are vigorous, and the hooves are flying.
The wind branches were blowing in her face, she didn't seem to know the pain, she couldn't feel at ease when she didn't see Xiao Jiu, her blood was surging, her heart was uneasy, she just wanted to hurry up and hurry up!
Qiushan Pass is located in the Qiushan Gorge, the cliffs on both sides are lined up, Qiushan Pass is the first natural danger in Xiliang, if you want to go to Tonggu Mountain from Youhua Road, or want to go to Youhua Road from Tonggu Mountain, you can't get around Qiushan Pass.
Akiyama Pass is dangerous, under the cross-sectional cliff in the direction of Akiyama Tonggu Mountain...... It is the vast Tenjin Lake, unless you have wings to go back and forth between the Akiyama Pass and the Pond Pass, you can only spend time and effort going around the entire Akiyama and Akiyama.

In the castle of Akiyama Guancheng, a fire suddenly broke out in the front yard of an inn, gongs and drums were beating on the street, and from a distance, a piece of red was wrapped in black smoke, the fire was raging, and even the restaurant next door to the inn was smoked beyond recognition.
The people on the street who were still wearing Chinese clothes carried buckets and basins and poured water into the fire vigorously, but the flames were just pressed down, and suddenly "boomed" and jumped up, more violent than just now, the fire with the strands to burn through the nine heavens of ruthlessness, the tongue of fire scurried along the water, forcing people to retreat.
The people of Akiyama Pass were shocked.
"Fire oil! It's fire oil! The water can't be extinguished! Someone set fire! โ
"Go to the government and beat the drums! Someone set fire! โ
In the end, the sky-high fire alarmed the garrison of Akiyama Pass, and the general of the garrison sent troops to fight the fire.
In the inn, the sword light and sword shadow, the Tiger Eagle Battalion and the Dong family's dead soldiers fought to the death with Li Zhijie's people.
Shen Liangyu knew in his heart that the inn needed to be evacuated quickly as soon as it caught fire, otherwise it would attract the Liang soldiers guarding the west of the city from Qiushan, and they would probably not be able to get out alive!
He really didn't expect that there would be such a wise man among the dead soldiers raised by the King of Xiliang Yan, who would know that arson would attract the attention of the defenders of Xiliang in the Autumn Mountain Pass.
Shen Liangyu saw that the Xiliang Dead Soldiers were desperately trying to trap them here, gritted his teeth, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Break through quickly!" โ
Xiao Ruohai, who was injured on his body, looked calm, with a long sword in one hand and a short knife in the other, carrying Bai Qingyun who had fainted and was drenched in blood on his back, and tied him and Bai Qingyun together with a rope, Shen Qingzhu, Shen Liangyu, and Bai Jinzhi protected Bai Qingyun on Xiao Ruohai's back in the middle, and in the protective circle of the dead soldiers and the Tiger Eagle Battalion, it was difficult to move an inch here.
Bai Jinzhi's eyes were red, Yu Bai Qingyun was holding a silver gun behind his back, gritting his teeth and looking around, in case he was attacked from behind.
Suddenly, hearing the arrow coming through the wind, Bai Jinzhi opened his eyes wide and pushed Shen Qingzhu on the left side: "Be careful!" โ
Anyway, the arrow of cold light pierced Bai Jinzhi's arm before he could retract it, and Bai Jinzhi gritted his teeth and snorted.
"Four girls!" Shen Qingzhu used the long sword in his hand to knock down the feather arrows flying towards them.
"Southeast Corner!" Bai Jinzhi clasped his arms and shouted.
Hearing the sound, the sharp soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Battalion accurately pinpointed the position of the roof arrows, and the three of them jumped up, their hands rising and falling...... A blood mist erupted in the moonlight and dissipated as the three of the Tiger Eagle Battalion turned over and descended.
Hand-to-hand combat, the dead soldiers raised by the royal family are often not as powerful as the Tiger Eagle Battalion, a predator who has really taken his life on the battlefield countless times.
Shen Liangyu, who was red-eyed, suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sea of fire in the front yard of the inn, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and heavy armor, and roared: "Don't fall in love!" Remove! Evacuate! Fight your way out! Fast! โ
The dead soldiers of the Dong family and the Tiger Eagle Battalion were ordered, and they gathered around Shen Liangyu and his party, and went forward to fight for their lives.
Bai Jinzhi was in such a moment of life and death for the first time, watching the Tiger Eagle Battalion Rui Shi fall beside her, and watching the Dong family's dead soldiers use their chest knives to kill a few more people to make their group move forward a few steps, Bai Jinzhi only felt that his nose was full of hot blood, his scalp was tight, and he didn't want to break the tail of the arrow to protect Bai Qingyun's four sides of guard.
