Chapter 196: The Battle of the Canyon

Gu Qingyi's departure from Beijing did not make a big publicity, so sixty guards scattered and left the city, she did not take a carriage, but chose to ride a horse, although her riding skills were not good, but she did not lag behind.

It's just that this body is delicate after all, the inside of her legs is red and swollen at the end of the day, and her legs tremble when she gets off the horse, and the accompanying guards all look at her worriedly, and the head of the guards, Zhou Jingming, originally wanted to help her, but when she got closer, she thought of her identity, and froze in place, so she could only say worriedly, "Princess Niangniang, you are a precious body, you can't bear the fatigue on horseback, so let's take the carriage." ”

Since leaving the capital, he has been on the road, and his lunch is also a simple gnawing on horseback with a little dry food, the princess can endure it without saying a word, and all the guards are both surprised and admired, and these big men are a little unbearable, let alone the princess who looks pampered.

Originally, they were still muttering about the princess's willfulness in their hearts, but now they all sighed in their hearts, the princess and the princess have a deep love, life and death are unswerving, and it is normal to be able to travel thousands of miles.

Gu Qingyi didn't know what the guards were thinking, so she didn't slump down, slowly sat down by the campfire where she was stationed, and said slowly, "No, the life and death of the prince is unknown, and I can hold it up." ”

Although the carriage was convenient, it was too slow to walk, and she couldn't wait for a moment now, and she couldn't wait for a moment to fly to Qingning Mansion immediately to inquire about the news of King Qin.

There is a difference between master and servant, even if everyone is worried that the princess's body will not be able to bear it, they can't influence her decision, so they have to discuss with each other to slow down so that the princess will not have to work so hard.

After eating dry food during the day, there were guards stationed at this time hunting and barbecuing, Gu Qingyi ate a rabbit leg and was full, leaning on the trunk of a tree and closing her eyes to rest, but her body was extremely tired, but the thoughts in her mind were disturbed and couldn't stop, and she couldn't sleep - she was worried about Xiao Tuanzi and worried about King Qin, which made her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Tomorrow still needs to hurry, it is not possible to rest enough, Gu Qingyi can only force himself to empty his mind, and slowly fatigue hits, and finally falls asleep.

On the second day, before dawn, everyone woke up, Gu Qingyi had back pain, and the pain in her inner thighs became more and more severe, but she didn't show it, she secretly rubbed the ointment when she went to the toilet, and continued to get on the horse and hurry. She could sense that the guards had slowed down, but she didn't say much, after all, it was really like the first day, and she might not be able to hold it up.

A few days passed, the closer she was to Qingning Mansion, the more restless Gu Qingyi's mood became, and Zhou Jingming in front of her suddenly stopped, and she immediately frowned, "Why did you stop?" ”

Zhou Jingming's gaze swept over the canyon in front of him, turned back to Gu Qingyi and said, "Princess Niangniang, the terrain here is steep, the most suitable for ambushes, for the sake of safety, please enter the middle of the team, we will speed through the canyon." ”

Gu Qingyi realized that something was wrong with the canyon in hindsight, it was too quiet, and even the sound of birds and birds could not be heard, indicating that there was very likely something wrong with the canyon, but this road was a must-pass place, and they had to pass through.

The news of King Qin's disappearance is well known, with the prince's hostility to the Qin Palace, he will definitely not let the people of the Qin Palace's Mansion go to Qingning Mansion to support, and a group of them rushing all the way to Qingning Mansion will definitely attract the attention of the East Palace, if the other party wants to do it, this is definitely the best geographical location.

Her expression gradually became solemn, and she became more vigilant than ever, and tightened the reins, "Go!" ”

As the neat sound of the horsewhip fell, the horses neighed, and they all ran towards the canyon, there was no problem in the first half, but everyone did not dare to relax at all, and they were secretly vigilant, sure enough, when they were halfway through, there was a sudden whistling sound, Gu Qingyi saw bows and arrows shooting on both sides of the canyon, and hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!" ”

The guards reacted faster than her, and they all drew their swords to resist the incoming arrows, and as soon as the dark arrows stopped, a masked man in black rushed out from behind the cover, and they all rushed towards Gu Qingyi and the others.

There were a large number of men in black, and Zhou Jingming and the others didn't love fighting at all, and they fought and left, but the men in black saw through their intentions and attacked their mounts specifically, and slowly dragged them down.

Gu Qingyi was covered by the guards in the middle, and she was not injured by the fish that could break through the defense, so she was the safest, and she relied on the kung fu she learned from King Qin to move around flexibly to help the guards deal with the man in black, which also reduced a lot of pressure.

However, there are also ambushed archers on both sides of the canyon, and with the black-clothed men who are sneaking up on the cold arrows, many guards are really injured when they fall from their horses, and the situation is gradually unfavorable. ”

The guards who fell from the horse were rescued by others and rode together, and everyone worked together to break through the encirclement, seeing that they were about to leave the canyon, the attack of the man in black became more and more fierce, and someone ordered coldly, "Don't let them leave, no one will stay!" ”

The sword light and sword shadows are endless, the guards can't estimate it, Gu Qingyi is inevitably exposed to the sword light of the people in black, but she is not Wuxia Ameng, although she can't match the other party, it is still okay to resist and dodge.

It's just that the other side is outnumbered, and the guards are injured again, and the situation is getting more and more unfavorable, and at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed down from the mountain, they were all adult men, wearing coarse linen clothes, holding rudimentary weapons in their hands, and they didn't look like good people, like bandits who had fallen into the grass.

Gu Qingyi chuckled in his heart, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and now he was really in a dilemma.

The group of robbers was also cunning, and when they saw that the two groups of them were fighting each other, they had no intention of interfering at all, but instead watched from the wall, as if they had the intention of taking advantage of the fishermen.

Gu Qingyi's mind turned sharply, and he shouted loudly, "Heroes, we are being chased and killed by thieves, I implore you to help retreat from the enemy, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards." ”

Not to be outdone, the man in black threatened, "I advise you not to meddle in your business, and retreat early now, or we will kill you." ”

The bandits stood indifferently, as if they had no intention of favoring the gang, Gu Qingyi looked at the guards who were getting more and more difficult to deal with, his face became more and more heavy, looking for this situation, even if they crossed the canyon, but in the situation of being seriously injured, they still could not escape the close pursuit of the secret people.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "I recognize the big boss, the lady in the middle of the team is our benefactor." ”

Gu Qingyi wore low-key riding clothes all the way, and there was no hairpin ring on her sideburns, but anyone with a discerning eye could recognize her as a woman at a glance, but she had been sleeping in the open these days, day and night, she looked thin and haggard, and she no longer had the brilliance of being a noblewoman, which was unrecognizable for a while.

She was a woman who showed her face, and she was not afraid to be assassinated by a man in black, but she was able to shoot at the enemy, which was really rare, and people couldn't help but take a few more looks, so she was recognized.

Strangely, it was someone from the bandits who recognized her.

The leader of the bandits was a strong man with a bearded face, and when he heard this, he glanced at the speaker, "What benefactor?" Let's be clear. ”

Fang Cai's voice continued, "Big boss, I went to the capital with my mother-in-law and children a while ago, and was stopped by officers and soldiers outside the gate of the capital...... By the way, I remember that the King of Qin came to pick her up, she, she seemed to be the Princess of Qin! ”

The bandits were in an uproar, and it seemed that because of the word King Qin, their gaze at Gu Qingyi became different.

"It turned out to be Princess Qin." The bearded man hurriedly picked up his weapon, and his big eyes showed a fierce light, "Brothers, it is definitely not a good thing for this group of villains to assassinate Princess Qin, give it to me, kill this group of turtle grandsons for me!" ”

"Yes!"

The bandits who were originally watching from the wall rushed into the battlefield with a hula and a stalemate, and the original stalemate instantly fell to one side, and the people in black were caught off guard, and threatened the bandits angrily, "You Diao people, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise our master will raze your mountain in the future, so that you will die without a place to bury!" ”

"I, I, Wu San, am not frightened, no matter what master you are, I will destroy your group of grandsons first!"

Saying that, he picked up the big hammer in his hand, and the tiger danced vigorously, hammering a masked man, very brave, even more powerful than the guards of the palace and the Hou mansion!
