Chapter 724: Who Counts Whom
Under Yan Liqiang's arrangement, everything was in order......
Concubine Rong and a group of palace maids rested and washed in the backyard.
The sergeants and guards who had been fighting last night rested in the front yard, ate, recuperated, and prepared to set off again in the evening.
Some of the artisan servants who sat in the carriage last night were busy in the blacksmith's workshop, building iron locks and chains for building bridges, some of them went from house to house in the town to dismantle the door panels to be used to pave the bridge, and some were cooking and taking care of the carriages and horses.
At the intersection of the town, people were arranged to stand guard, and now in the entire town, there was only Yan Liqiang and his party, and after a night of nervousness, everyone's nerves were temporarily relaxed.
Just like last night, Yan Liqiang told everyone that the bridge would be repaired before dark, and then tonight, everyone would cross the bridge and continue on the road, and then try to leave Huizhou before dawn tomorrow and reach a safe place.
After all this, Yan Liqiang and a few of his subordinates explained, and then a person with a dragon bow, carrying a flying feather black gold arrow, called Yan Qing Yan Hong, and the three of them left Qingping Town on a rhino dragon horse, and after a while, they came to the broken bridge they saw before, and then continued to walk back, about twenty miles, and came to the exit of a valley.
Yan Liqiang looked at the surrounding environment on the horse, nodded, "Let's do it here!", and then dismounted, and the three of them took the rhinosaurus horse to a hillside behind the valley, so that the rhinosaurus horse could eat grass and rest, and then Yan Liqiang took Yan Qing and Yan Hong around in a circle, came to the valley, found a hidden position more than ten meters above the ground, climbed up, and then Yan Liqiang took out the dried meat and water he carried with him, and beckoned the two to sit down, "Come on, eat something, drink some water, and nourish your spirit first!"
Yan Qing Yan Hong followed Yan Liqiang silently, and he didn't speak on the road, until he got here, the two of them glanced at each other, and each sat down next to Yan Liqiang, and Yan Qing opened his mouth, "This...... Childe brought us here, why did you bring us here?"
Compared with Yan Qing, Yan Hong's personality is relatively introverted, and she is also taciturn, if she doesn't have to, she rarely speaks, and she closes her eyes when she has nothing to do.
Taking the two pieces of jerky to the two of them, Yan Liqiang smiled, "Guess why?"
Yan Qing looked at the surrounding environment again, thought for a moment, and then said, "This place is condescending, guarding this valley, it is a good place for ambushes, and this valley is the only way from the imperial capital to Huizhou, Gongzi called us here, isn't it to ambush someone here?"
"Hahaha, guess right, then guess who we're going to ambush?"
"Isn't it, White Lotus Sect?" Yan Qing's eyes suddenly lit up again, Yan Hong was also slightly shocked, looking at Yan Liqiang, his eyes flashed, revealing a trace of murderous aura, for the matter of being ambushed by the White Lotus Sect after escaping from the East Palace that night, the two of them have been haunted, and have been looking for an opportunity to get this field back and avenge His Royal Highness the Prince, but they didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.
"Guessed right again!"
"How did Childe know that the White Lotus Sect was chasing us?"
"Guess again!"
"Uh......" Yan Qing really couldn't guess.
Yan Qing and Yan Hong looked at Yan Liqiang who was eating dried meat, their heads were full of doubts, Yan Liqiang set off with everyone last night, and they didn't meet anyone from the White Lotus Sect on the way, and the two of them didn't find anything, why could Yan Liqiang be sure that there were people from the White Lotus Sect chasing them? Yan Liqiang only smiled and didn't speak, Yan Qing and Yan Hong both felt that Yan Liqiang was unfathomable, and their hearts were full of awe.
The reason why Yan Liqiang was in such a hurry to leave from the Deer Park this time was that in addition to the fact that the Deer Park might be attacked by those walking corpses at any time, there was actually another very important reason, that is, the White Lotus Sect.
Lin Qingtian knew that he was in the deer park, and he had already had a murderous intention towards himself, and wanted to get rid of himself, when the imperial capital was in chaos, the White Lotus Sect was busy chasing the emperor, and he might not be able to take care of himself for a while, but when they pulled out their hands, if they were still in the deer park, it would not be good, when he left the deer park last night, Yan Liqiang also left a heart, let the fire eye golden eagle stare at the deer park behind him, sure enough, he only left the deer park not long ago, and the fire eye gold eagle came from the news, there were really people in the deer park, those people followed their tails all the way after the deer park, and the person who took the lead was the ghost king who had a relationship with the fire eye gold eagle......
Therefore, instead of waiting for the people of the White Lotus Sect to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative and wait for work here to surprise the ghost king!
After eating, drinking some water, and replenishing his strength, Yan Liqiang asked Yan Qing and Yan Hong to find two hidden ambush positions nearby and wait patiently, Yan Liqiang looked up at the sky in the direction of the imperial capital city in the east, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, the ash behind his buttocks is not delicious, he led the team to rush all the way on the official road last night, and there were not many walking dead on the official road, so the team rushed all the way over, so that those walking dead could not catch up, but after the team, there was a big movement, and the walking dead near the official road gathered on the official road, and then followed his ass to chase from the official road, and there were thousands of walking dead encountered along the way, but it is many times more than what he encountered, even if the White Lotus Sect sent a master elite, if he wants to rush over, I am afraid it is not so easy, the ghost king last night, it is not easy......
After looking at the east side, Yan Liqiang opened the quiver, took out a flying feather black gold arrow from the arrow bag, checked it in his hand, and then took out a small handful, sat under the tree, and began to pick up the arrow of the flying feather black gold arrow......
......
On the official road hundreds of miles away......
The ghost king roared with red eyes, leaned forward, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the heads of several walking dead who rushed over flew up, and then he rode his horse forward, and knocked several more walking corpses away, and the long sword in his hand slashed left and right, and swept down a circle of walking corpses......
After a night of chasing last night, there were too many walking corpses encountered, and the ghost king, who had always used a pair of meat palms as a weapon, had to pick up the long sword and began to slash and kill, the long sword had already cut off two, this was the third, and there were gaps everywhere on the blade......
When he left the deer park, there were still thirty-six elite masters in the nocturnal ghost army who followed the ghost king, and at this moment, there were only twenty-five of the thirty-six elite masters of the nocturnal ghost army.
Even Yan Liqiang's hair didn't touch a single of his side and suffered heavy losses, the eyes of the ghost king were red, but the eyes of the walking corpses that were densely packed around him were even redder, and he was not afraid of death, at this moment the sky was bright, the sun had risen, and he saw the movement on this side of the official road, and the walking dead in farther places kept coming from the villages and towns on both sides of the official road, not across the field, running like a beast chasing prey, densely packed, there were twenty or thirty thousand, such a scene, even if the ghost king saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp。
Sweeping over a few walking corpses again, the long sword in the ghost king's hand broke in two again, and the ghost king waved his hand, threw out the long sword that was only half left in his hand, cut off two heads, and shouted, "Hurry up......
The remaining masters of the nocturnal ghost army surrounded the ghost king, constantly rushing forward, and finally broke through the siege of those walking corpses and opened a bloody path.
"Ah......h
Hearing another scream behind him, the Ghost King turned around and saw that one of his henchmen was left behind, and he was immediately pulled off the rhinosaurus horse by a group of walking dead.
The man was also very skilled, as soon as he rolled over from the rhinosaurus horse and fell down, he bounced off the ground, but when he bounced up, there were already two walking dead hanging on his body, one of the walking dead holding his waist, the walking dead holding his waist opened his mouth to bite his neck, and the one holding his thigh opened his mouth and bit directly to his thigh.
The man cut off the head of one of the walking dead with a knife, and smashed the head of another walking dead with a punch, his neck was not bitten, but the thigh was bitten hard, and the two walking corpse's heads were broken, but the hand still grabbed him tightly, and the whole body hung on the person's body, like two sandbags, so the man jumped up more than two feet high and fell heavily to the ground.
The second time he jumped from the ground, the walking dead hanging from the man's body had become four, and the height of the jump was only one zhang, and then it fell to the ground again.
There was no third time, only a terrifying exclamation, "Venerable, save my ......"
Of course, the Ghost King didn't save him, because the man shouted this sentence, and along with the rhinosaurus horse beside him, he had been completely overwhelmed by a group of walking dead, and only his screams and the screams of the fallen rhinosaurus horse could be heard......
By this time, there were only twenty-four masters left of the nocturnal ghost army who followed the ghost king, and a third had already been lost, and even if they were alive, most of them were wounded.
"Junior, when the old man catches up with you, I have to cut you with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart......" The ghost king was ruthless in his heart, riding a rhinosaurus horse galloping on the official road- This time, if it weren't for the Holy Lord's personal order, the Ghost King wouldn't even make a move in person, because in the eyes of the Ghost King, a Yan Liqiang was not worth his shot at all, as long as he sent his subordinate night marching ghost army, he could easily bring Yan Liqiang's head back, that junior had two brushes in the bow road, but if the night walking ghost army made a move, it was estimated that he would not be given a chance to open the bow at all, the only thing that made the ghost king feel a little miscalculated was that Yan Liqiang ran too fast, and he didn't wait for him in the deer park to get his head, but caused him a heavy loss, which is really unforgivable......
