Chapter Twenty-Seven: Red Leaves and Red Rocks
Grave keeper
Book Haruka
"My lord! You have taught us to respect the emperor's order since childhood, and when we were ordered to kill the five horsemen of our own clan ten years ago, all eight of us fought for their lives, and today it can be regarded as a satisfactory explanation of your 20 years of teaching!"
Liu Jinyi heard the meaning of this, although he had asked them a long time ago, if he became an enemy of the imperial court in the future, what would they do? But he never really believed the heart-to-heart answer.
But today, maybe they are really in a catastrophe, because even in their heyday, they can never resist the combined strike of these eight people, they no longer need the protection of their wings, and at this time they have thoroughly learned how to hunt the prey given to them by the imperial court.
Liu Jinyi was helpless, looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said extremely sadly: "Let's do it!"
But Zhao Qianzhi didn't intend to accept his fate: "Dare to ask Lord Liu if he has ever owed you anything?"
But then he was stopped by Liu Jinyi in one gulp: "Money! They have their own choices that they think are right!"
"Lord Liu, Qian Zhi is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but there is one more thing that we have to do, you and I have been heartfelt for thirty years, why does the king have to kill you and me?! We've got to die!"
After hearing this, Liu Jinyi also turned his gaze to the one led by the Eight Banners.
And Kuhaza didn't hide, just met this gaze, and said very calmly: "The order we received eight days ago is to kill!" Regardless of the reason, it has always been the rule of the Eight Banners!"
"What? Eight days ago, doesn't that mean that when we set off, the king had already issued an order to kill, but he clearly promised me that he would not return for three days!" Zhao Qianzhi was shocked after listening to Kuhaza's words.
"The king must have something to hide from us! But it doesn't matter anymore! Let's do it!" Liu Jinyi has always known that nothing can be said clearly in this world, and there has never been credibility in front of interests, so he couldn't wait to urge again.
Although Zhao Qianzhi still wanted to find out, it was obvious that the Eight Banners didn't want to give them any more time: "The Golden Sword Guards and Heavy Crossbowmen are ready, ready to assist in the attack, and they must not let the two of them escape!"
Considering the strength of the two, Kuhaza made an absolutely perfect deployment very carefully, and then the eight people each lifted the weapons in their hands and prepared to start, wanting to snipe with one blow!
But at this moment, Kuhaza noticed that there was a person standing faintly on the top of a thousand-year-old pine tree not far away, and the first eight people did not notice how he was approaching, but at this time he was standing there quietly, and suddenly a very depressing atmosphere was enveloped in a very depressing atmosphere for more than 5,000 people in the forest, as if it had become difficult to breathe.
"Master Li!" Zhao Qianzhi only looked at the back, and recognized the true face of the person at a glance.
And Liu Jinyi also looked up when he heard the sound, he also felt that very powerful aura, but it was amazingly strong, at least twenty times stronger than Li Shaotang he had seen before, and the eight people below took a step back involuntarily, and the attack gesture instantly changed to defense at any time.
The forest, which had been boiling before, suddenly became a dead silence again, and even the birds seemed to consciously hold their chirping.
"Everybody's ready to do it!" Kuhaza ordered the five thousand soldiers in addition to the eight people, but before he could finish speaking, Li Shaotang was already standing behind him, and his hand could take off the distance of his neck at any time.
The eight of them were suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, because such an opponent was simply a gift from the other party to him, not to mention that he was stupidly posing to prepare for defense.
The five thousand people also trembled involuntarily after this blow, and many of them were already trembling and put down the weapons in their hands and ran, because Li Shaotang was covered in blood at this time, as if he had just crawled out of the pool of blood.
"Let's go!" After a long while, Li Shaotang finally spoke, but his voice was a little strange, deep and hoarse, like a roar coming from hell.
Zhao Qianzhi and Liu Jinyi analyzed the current situation very calmly, and neither of them stepped forward rationally, because with their current strength, they knew that they couldn't help him, so they looked at it with some concern
Li Shaotang turned around and withdrew.
Seeing this, several golden knife guards wanted to stop them, but they didn't know what was going on, and they bounced away powerfully, and the ribs on their chests were broken in an instant.
The eight people actually wanted to move when they saw this, but they all looked sideways at Li Shaotang who was standing in the center of them, and then let go of the idea of looking for death.
After the two sides were stalemate for five minutes, Li Shaotang finally flashed away again, obviously buying enough time for Liu Jinyi and the others, but at the moment he left, he killed more than 100 people, but when everyone trembled, the more than 100 people turned into zombies in white.
The eight people were still standing in place without saying a word for a long time after Li Shaotang disappeared, and only then did they understand in the true sense that Liu Jinyi had always said before, human power, after all, is only limited.
"Big brother! What to do? To chase or not to chase?" Kuhari was the first to ask.
"What else can I do, chase!" In fact, from the moment the white-clothed zombie suddenly appeared between the golden sword guards and Liu Jinyi at the temple wall, Kuhaza already knew that they would never be able to kill Liu Jinyi at close range today, so he went crazy with a crossbow.
At the sound of Kuhaza's order, a group of people moved again in the middle of the huge forest, like a huge animal, but every leaf above the animal was dripping blood, and then turned red, and finally, slowly, even the mountains turned red.
And Liu Jinyi took Zhao Qian all the way to a wonderful cave that he found in the place where he fell a year ago and hid it, and at this moment the eyes of both of them were looking at the gradually reddening mountain outside the cave in great amazement, and they didn't know what was going on.
"Brother Zhao, about Li Shaotang... How much do you know?" Liu Jinyi finally asked.
Zhao Qian heard Liu Jinyi's speculation about the king's order, in fact, he also thought of it the moment he saw the bloody Li Shaotang.
"About him, in fact, I don't know too much, because as the existence designated by the imperial court to replace you, he often goes to perform some confidential tasks, and he has never revealed the content to me, presumably the reason why the king issued a killing order this time is probably related to him!"
Liu Jinyi lowered his head, and after listening to Zhao Qianzhi's words, he didn't say anything more, but looked out of the window with his two eyes unexpectedly, and it was strange that the red bundle of qi began to slowly subside again.
Then, not far from outside their cave, they heard several heavy bodies falling to the ground.
Liu Jinyi and Zhao Qianzhi were very sensitive and rushed out one after the other, but just outside their cave, they saw Li Shaotang lying with more than a dozen headless zombies, but at this time, the blood column on his body actually decreased.
The two rushed into it, and hurriedly picked up Li Shaotang, who had passed out for some reason, at this time, reflecting the setting sun, the three of them walked very slowly towards the mouth of the cave where the red color was gradually receding, and the blood-dripping sycamore flower on Li Shaotang's chest was bright red by this residual light.
After entering the cave, Zhao Qianzhi took out some food from his arms that he had left behind when he took care of Liu Jinyi, and poured some water bags into Li Shaotang.
Not long after, Li Shaotang came to his senses again, but the first thing he said was: "Run!" Black Falls is coming again!"
Zhao Qianzhi and Liu Jinyi were stunned, they all knew what it meant, once they were engulfed, they would definitely die, but Liu Jinyi didn't want to abandon the person who was still chasing him just now, so he turned his head and said to Zhao Qianzhi: "Lord Zhao, Lord Li will please entrust you!"
Zhao Qianzhi nodded deeply and knowingly, he didn't stop Liu Jinyi, because he didn't want to lose so many elite soldiers and strong generals in one go, because the national strength was already declining.
Ten minutes after Liu Jinyi saw off Zhao Qianzhi and Li Shaotang, he hurriedly arrived at the Eight Banners camp alone, circled around the Eight Banners tent with light skills, and then ran east at a very fast speed.
"Everyone, abandon the camp and chase me! Tomorrow is the deadline given by the king, and if we can't pay the difference then, we will all have to die!" Kuhazar saw that he hurriedly beckoned the golden sword guards who were still pulling the tent to pursue.
"Quick! Drop all baggage! Liu Jinyi's head is all we have!" Khuhari ordered again.
However, they had been marching rapidly for a whole day, and they had just received Li Shaotang's psychological consultation, which could be said to be a squeeze not long ago, and many people slowed down.
Seeing this situation, Kuhaza hurriedly took out his knife and slashed a few: "Since we have chosen the battlefield, we should not be afraid of the horse leather shroud!" Those who dare to slack off one more step will kill the Nine Clans!"
The five thousand people were immediately suppressed by Kuhaza's sharp blow, and after five seconds of silence, everyone was boiling again.
The group ran away along the traces left by Liu Jinyi, but at this time, there was a person standing on the top of the mountain in the distance, with a black helmet and a cold look in his eyes......
