A sharp whistle pierced the silent sky, and then dozens of sleeve arrows broke through the air with a fierce momentum, startling the wild geese in the sky and disrupting the people and horses on the ground.

"There are assassins, there are assassins!"

"Quick, protect the general!"

"Come on, protect the princess!"

The neighing of the horses' hooves in front of them was heard, and the originally neatly marching team was instantly torn apart in disarray.

Ma Dahai grabbed my arm, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said nervously: "Brother Shanfeng, what's the matter...... How could there be assassins? ”

I clenched the spear in my hand and said coldly, "Be careful." ”

When I turned around, I saw that Da Zhe had already stood beside me quietly, and his face was full of solemnity.

Soon, the commander Yuanji gave an order to divide us into six teams and surround the carriage in which Princess Lanling was riding. And He Liancheng took several other generals to firmly protect the woman in the carriage.

His long sword was unsheathed, and it slashed in a blinding arc in the sunlight, like the fierce coldness in his eyes at this moment.

Before we could form a formation, long and short arrows had already rained down from the mountains on both sides, mixed with large and small stones falling overhead.

People kept falling to the ground around me, and my ears were filled with wails. This round of attacks caught us all off guard. Apparently the Assassins have been ambushing here, waiting for us to enter the urn.

The rain of arrows and stones became more and more dense, and those with better skills could dodge left and right, or use spears to resist, but more people could only hold their heads and run around, unable to even lift their heads.

Of course, with my skills, it is more than enough to deal with this, but in order not to make people suspicious, I have to hide my martial arts tricks as much as possible, and I have to help Ma Dahai behind me resist some, so it is a little difficult.

Fortunately, Dazhe quickly moved to the side of me and Ma Dahai, his skills were on par with mine, and his body was much taller than mine, and it was much easier for me to have him join. Glancing up at the mountains on both sides, he saw that the vegetation was lush and the mountains were full of rocks, and it was impossible to see the assassin clearly.

Xu saw that the soldiers of the forward battalion had suffered heavy casualties, and He Liancheng ordered the rest of the generals: "Protect the princess." Before he could finish speaking, he leapt from his horse into the air, his sword swinging, his palm flying, and most of the hidden arrows that were coming at us from all directions were blocked by him.

Taking advantage of the pause in the rain of arrows, we adjusted our formation again under his command, and the wounded soldiers were also placed in slightly safer places. With the help of the general, the soldiers of the forward battalion gradually dispelled their panic and lifted their spirits, and the situation improved a lot.

The martial arts of the Tianshan faction pay attention to the cultivation of internal strength, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight, he has only studied art in the Tianshan Mountains for six years, and he has already exhausted the essence of the old man of the Tianshan Jade Void, which is already very valuable.

Dazhe and I worked together to keep the weaker recruits at bay and help them fend off some of the arrows in order to minimize casualties. While we were struggling to fight against the endless stream of arrows and stones, there was a sudden high-pitched mournful cry of a horse in our ears.

I looked sideways, but my heart sank. The two horses driving the carriage of Princess Lanling were probably wounded by the Hidden Arrow and were frightened, and after a neighing of their heads to the sky, they spread their hooves and galloped like crazy.

The generals guarding the side were fighting off the rain of arrows and stones around them, and they were defenseless, and when they came to their senses, the carriage had rushed out like arrows from the string.

The two horses were so strong and powerful that they were so frightened that ordinary people could not stop them at all, and they did not dare to go up to the barn.

"Protect the princess, quick, protect the princess!" Several generals who were ordered to protect Princess Lanling were shocked, and the wedding procession of Xiliang Kingdom was also in a panic, and Murong Jing, the prince of Yanping, rode a horse from a distance, and chased after the carriage, with a handsome face full of anxiety.

The carriage was galloping in the direction where I was, getting closer and closer, and Ma Dahai urged urgently beside me: "Brother Shanfeng, get out of the way!" Dangerous! ”

I swung my spear to block a few of the arrows that came at me, but in my eyes was the figure of He Liancheng looking here on the other side, although I was far away from him, but I knew that there must be worry in his eyes that were as cold as a pool at this moment.

Because I know the responsibility he bears on his trip. Anyone here can have an accident, but the woman in the carriage can't be fine.

I reminded myself not to be in the limelight at such a time, but my body's subconscious movements went against my fears. As the carriage passed by me like the wind, I jumped into the carriage without hesitation.

"Brother Shanfeng......" Ma Dahai exclaimed, but I didn't listen. At the moment, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to take care of the woman in the carriage.

Although my riding skills are not bad, it is still a bit difficult to control two frightened horses at once. Pulling the reins of the carriage tightly, I tried with all my might to hold the two horses forward. There was a tingling sensation in the palm of the hand, and it should be that the rough reins had worn through the skin of the palm. But the hard work paid off, and under my desperate control, the pace of the two startled horses gradually slowed down. I was overjoyed that I was safe.

But at that moment, a long arrow pierced the sky and shot straight towards the carriage. The attack of this long arrow is extremely amazing, if it is shot into the carriage, Princess Lanling will definitely die.

I abandoned my spear when I jumped into the carriage just now, and there was no way to stop the arrow. In desperation, I could only pull out the short knife I wore at my waist and stab the horse hard.

After a terrible neigh, the horse, which had finally calmed down, suffered from pain and began to gallop rapidly.

As soon as the carriage accelerated, the arrow missed its head, and finally only landed at the edge of the carriage. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when I looked back and saw the road ahead, I suddenly felt that my eyes were black. It's just that after the carriage rushed all the way to the left and right, there was a cliff in front of it.

I cursed secretly, it was really a disaster. Seeing that I was getting closer and closer to the cliff, I desperately pulled the reins and made a final effort.

But the horse was frightened twice, not for a moment and a half can be tamed, when only less than a foot away from the cliff, I was ruthless, and was about to fly up and rescue Princess Lanling from the carriage first, but just as I was about to turn around, a tall figure fell from the sky.

The man was dressed in silver-gray armor, cold and cold, and landed firmly beside me, and before I could react, my hand holding the reins was already tightly grasped by his broad hand.

His fingers were slender and gentle, and he dragged them back as if they were effortless, and the galloping carriage came to a hard stop when it was still a step away from the cliff.

The tip of my nose smelled a little incense from him, which was very good, and his palm was on the back of my hand, and there was a warm touch. I turned my head to see his handsome, angular face.

I consider myself calm, and even when facing the most vicious Jiangyang thieves, I have never been afraid. But for some reason, every time I get up close and personal with him, I get upset. If it weren't for the transfiguration, I think my face would have been red at the moment.

Seeing that the carriage had successfully stopped, he withdrew his hand, turned his head to look at me, probably seeing me in a daze, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What, now you know that you are afraid?" What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go down and protect the princess! ”
