454 Goodbye Witch
Hua Qian opened the way, and they came to the Mochizuki River smoothly. This river is the border between the empire and the Witch Country, and on the Witch Country, this river is also known as the Witch River. As long as they cross this river, they will be in the territory of the Witch Country, and they will be safe.
But Li Xiang stole the "Book of Wisdom" and abducted the chief female warrior under the Liqing County Lord to defect, such a big thing, even if the Liqing County Lord didn't want to pursue it, he had to make a show. The black-helmeted warriors who followed finally caught up with Li Xiang and them after they passed through the barracks, and hundreds of cavalry immediately gathered in the barracks and chased them down with a bang.
Although Li Xiang and Hua Qian started first, their horses had run all the way from the Wisdom Palace to here, and they had galloped with all their strength for more than ten miles, and their speed inevitably slowed down. However, the black helmet warriors who were chasing were a fresh force, with plenty of horsepower, and soon chased after them. Li Xiang could only flee without revealing his true skills. So along the Mochizuki River, a scene of chasing and fleeing was staged.
Hua Qian's horse is her own mount, and with her position under the lord of Liqing, his mount is naturally a good horse among good horses. And Li Xiang's mount is much worse, just a war horse that Hua Qian took by the hand. Although it is also very good, it is still much worse than Hua Qian's horse. Therefore, when he was fleeing, Li Xiang's horse gradually couldn't support it, and began to foam at the mouth, and his physical strength reached the limit.
Seeing that his horse was no longer good, Li Xiang knew that if he ran down, the horse would have to be exhausted to death. So he simply jumped off the horse, let the horse live, and chased after Hua Qian on his two legs. Hua Qian heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind her disappearing, and hurriedly looked back, only to find that Li Xiang was running by herself. The speed was no slower than that of a horse. This surprised Hua Qian for a moment, but then shouted, "Come up!" Let's ride a horse for the two of us! β
With Li Xiang's internal strength of "Jiuyang Divine Skill". Even if you run with the horses for a day, you won't get tired, so I shook my head and said, "No need." I can keep up. Don't look back, keep running, I'll cover you behind. β
Hua Qian was even more shocked when she saw that he could still speak when he was running, and his tone was steady, not like he was running, but like sitting at the table talking and laughing. However, since Li Xiang's tone is so stable, it shows that he does have extra strength, and Hua Qian is relieved. No longer forcing him to mount, he turned around and continued to run. It's just that when urging the horse to gallop, he always looks back from time to time, and he is relieved to see that Li Xiang has not been left behind.
Li Xiang and Hua Qian's speed did not decrease, and it was difficult for the pursuers behind to catch up. But Hua Qian's horse, no matter how miraculous it is, is not a BMW in the end, and after running for so long, it gradually began to be unable to hold on, and it foamed at the mouth. Hua Qian has a lot of affection for this horse. When I found this scene, I couldn't bear it. But she also knew that now was not the time to cherish the horses, as long as she slowed down, she would be overtaken by the pursuers behind. When the time comes, I will die. Therefore, she can only ignore the condition of her beloved horse and squeeze out its last bit of physical strength.
However, Li Xiang, who was following behind, found that Hua Qian's horse was no longer good. simply chased after him in a few steps, and reached out to hug Hua Qian off the horse. Carry it on your back and keep running. Hua Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Rand." Leave me alone, so none of us can escape!" β
Li Xiang smiled lightly and said, "Who said that?" We'll all be fine with me. β
Hua Qian had been shocked by Li Xiang several times, so she believed Li Xiang when she said this. Lying on Li Xiang's back, Hua Qian only felt that his shoulders were particularly broad, even in the gallop, he did not feel bumpy, but was extremely comfortable. This made Hua Qian a little intoxicated, hugged Li Xiang's neck tightly, closed her eyes and began to enjoy the moment. It would be best if she could escape, even if she couldn't, she felt it was worth it to be able to lie on Rand's back for so long.
Li Xiang didn't have so many ideas, he had already used Tianyantong to find the ferry that met him, and after calculating the distance, he knew it in his heart, of course, he was not in a hurry or impatient, and he ignored the pursuers behind him.
The black-helmeted warriors who were chasing Li Xiang were more depressed, obviously the horses of the target were no longer good, but they still couldn't catch up. Not to mention that people run faster than horses, and the speed of carrying a person on their backs does not decrease, what kind of monster is this? It's also scary!
Finally, Li Xiang saw the ferry. Ma Yuan had been waiting on the boat for a long time, and when he saw Li Xiang and the pursuers behind him from a distance, he immediately ordered the cable to be lifted and the sail was raised. The ferry started slowly, and when Li Xiang came closer, the boat was just a few steps away from the shore. Li Xiang jumped up without hesitation and landed on the deck, Ma Yuan immediately ordered to speed up, and the ferry immediately quickly left the shore under the dual action of the current and the wind. By the time the pursuers arrived, they had already opened up a distance of dozens of paces.
Seeing his prey escaping, the black-helmeted warrior could only shoot his bow and arrow to vent his resentment. It's a pity that with Li Xiang here, more than a dozen random arrows could not pose a threat at all, but more than 30 arrows were sent.
After getting out of the range of the Black Helmet Warriors, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Yuan greeted him with a grin: "Prince Lante, I didn't expect you to get the Wisdom Book so quickly, I was really surprised." I'm sure you're tired too, I've got some delicious food for you, so take a break. β
Li Xiang smiled slightly, unwrapped the package on his body and handed it to Ma Yuan, and said, "If you want the "Wisdom Classic", just say it, you have to beat around the bush like this." I'll leave this thing to you, let's inspect it a priori. β
Ma Yuan smiled without blushing, took the package, and immediately opened it and looked at it. Although he had never seen the "Wisdom Classic", Ma Yuan still knew the profound knowledge recorded in the book, and immediately decided that it was true. Rao is Ma Yuan City Mansion was deep, and at this time, the face of the envelope was red, and he saluted Li Xiangshen and said: "Thank you Prince Lante, with these six volumes of the Wisdom Book, we will be more confident in resisting the invasion of the empire!" β
Li Xiang nodded and said, "This is the best, but no matter how useful the knowledge recorded in the Book of Wisdom is, it will take time to transform it into strength." But now that the Great Leader personally led the army to Mochizuki City, it shouldn't be specifically to hunt me down, it's likely to use troops against the Witch Country, I wonder if you are prepared? β
Ma Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "It's not a possibility, but a certainty!" The Great FΓΌhrer led the army to Mochizuki City this time, and he was preparing to use troops against the Witch Country. We have made sufficient preparations for this, but our overall strength is indeed inferior to that of the Empire, and I am afraid that this battle will be very difficult. β
Li Xiang was also silent, and finally could only say: "If there is anything that can be used for me, please just ask." If the Witch Kingdom is defeated, I can only continue to flee, which is not what I want to see. β
Ma Yuan regained his usual smile and nodded: "Don't worry, there will be a time when you will contribute, and we will not be polite." β
Bidding farewell to Ma Yuan, Li Xiang and Hua Qian had a big meal first. Not to mention, Ma Yuan didn't boast, the food he prepared tasted really good, which made the two of them very happy. When they had eaten their fill, the boat reached the other side. When the people came ashore, horses had already been prepared. Everyone got on their horses and galloped towards the depths of the territory of the Witch Country under the leadership of Ma Yuan.
They didn't go far, but after galloping more than 20 miles, a small military camp appeared on a small hill, and there were more than 100 tents in the camp, among which soldiers in white armor patrolled back and forth, guarding various key positions. When Li Xiang and the others came to the camp, even if the leader was Ma Yuan, they might be able to enter the camp by giving the password at the camp gate.
After entering the barracks, everyone else dispersed, leaving only Ma Yuan to take Li Xiang and Hua Qian to the center of the camp. They first came to an empty tent, and Ma Yuan said, "You rest here first, and I will first report to Her Majesty the Witch, and I think I will summon you soon." β
Li Xiang nodded in understanding, and Ma Yuan left with the "Wisdom Classic". Not long after, Ma Yuan came back and asked him to meet the witch. It's just that the witch only wants to see Li Xiang, so Hua Qian needs to stay in the tent. Hua Qian has served the county lord of Liqing for many years, so she naturally knows how to conform to people's wishes, so she immediately sat back in place obediently, and gave Li Xiang a smile to reassure him.
Li Xiang followed Ma Yuan to the largest and most gorgeous tent. Li Xiang thought that he still needed Ma Yuan's words, but Ma Yuan signaled to let Li Xiang go in alone. Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, but still lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
Entering the tent, what caught Li Xiang's eyes was the back of the witch sitting in front of a short table. At one end of the low table were five volumes of the Book of Wisdom, and the other was in the witch's hand, flipping through it. Although it is only a back, the charm of the witch is everywhere, just looking at the golden hair that falls like a waterfall, and the slender and straight back, it makes people have a sense of pleasing to the eye.
Li Xiang saw that she was reading the "Book of Wisdom", so he didn't disturb her, but sat down next to her. But not long after he sat down, he saw the witch suddenly shake her figure, as if she wanted to faint. Li Xiang hurriedly jumped up and stepped forward to support the witch's shoulders, she looked back and happened to be face to face with Li Xiang.
Although he had already seen the true face of the witch, there was another shocking beauty when he watched it up close, which made Li Xiang inevitably lose his mind for a moment, causing the witch to laugh "poof". Li Xiang came back to his senses and did not retreat immediately, but grabbed the witch's wrist and checked her pulse.
Seeing Li Xiang like this, the witch smiled even more and said, "You still have this ancient medical skill?" I don't know where you learned it? β
Li Xiang's heart was shocked, and he knew that he was still out of shape. With his realm, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, but he still did it unconsciously, and the reason was that he was shocked by the beauty of the witch, and he unconsciously wanted to care about her, so he revealed a flaw that he shouldn't have.
