Chapter 72: Qingyuan is ambushed

Zhou Yunkai stood in shock for a long time, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

The sword aura of the person who came just now was too strong, which shocked him, and there were still lingering palpitations in his heart at this moment. It makes people unconsciously frightened.

Looking at the little fireflies on the ground, they flapped their wings, and finally flew away in the brilliant lights.

Zhou Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then sweated profusely and covered his chest. asked the boss in the tea shed for a bowl of sweet tea to suppress his shock.

"How could it be, how could it be, how could there be a person with such a powerful aura......" Zhou Yunkai's beads of sweat fell frequently, and a bowl of sweet tea fell down his stomach, and he finally relaxed a little.

As an official in the court, he has seen countless generals, and he is not far away, just talking about Dong Jian, Wu Chu, and Qingyuan, it is a world of difference compared to the knights who have just passed by. One person's aura is like a hundred thousand troops pressing the realm, and a sword is murderous like thousands of troops stepping on the plain.

How terrible.

Looking at the darkening night, Zhou Yunkai looked into the distance. The direction in which this person left was the way he came, if he met Qingyuan, I am afraid that Qingyuan would be in trouble.

I hope Qingyuan doesn't meet him, 10 million.

......

Qingyuan's escort of 100,000 gold on the road was slow and urgent, always afraid that the people of Yangzhou would suffer hardships and suffering, and if they were fast, they were afraid that Dong Jianzhou and Zhou Yun would develop their senses, which was really uneasy in his heart.

"Master, there is a mountain forest ahead, should we rest our feet, before leaving, the second lady specially grabbed the small one and instructed you to slow down......" The retainers brought by Qingyuan muttered, not daring to offend Qingyuan, let alone offending Qingxihuan.

Qingyuan stopped, thinking that Qing Xihuan had indeed told him again and again. He nodded, and the general told everyone to rest in place and not go far, but to sit on the ground.

"Yes!" the general received the order and ordered the soldiers to rest in place.

Qingyuan looked at the starry sky on horseback, the moon was bright and the stars were bright, and tomorrow would be a sunny day. remembered that Qing Xihuan had instructed him to wear more clothes before leaving, and grinned happily. The retainers on the side saw Qingyuan smiling, and they were also happy, and handed the kettle to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan drank enough water, watched the fifty soldiers who followed happily sit on the ground drinking water and eating dry food, thinking that the suffering of the people of Yangzhou could be avoided, laughed and dismounted, and sat on the ground with a sword.

"Master, you can eat some too, we haven't found the post house yet, we still have to hurry, so let's pad dry food first." The retainer carefully took out the dry food in the package and handed it to Qingyuan, Qingyuan took the dry food, raised the wine jug and shouted to the escort soldiers, "Brothers, when this time is done a big thing, after the people are relieved of the fire, I will cook wine and stew meat for everyone when I come back, and I will rest when I get drunk!"

"Good! The general is mighty!" the soldiers raised their kettles, raised their arms and cheered, laughing incessantly.

The laughter continued, and everyone had followed Qingyuan for many years, so they might as well drink wine and eat meat or drink water and eat porridge, all of them followed without regrets.

"Master, I heard that there are often bandits in this area, should we send a sentry out to investigate, just in case, this is also ...... It was also repeatedly instructed by the second lady. The retainer lowered his head and whispered.

Qingyuan doesn't blame the retainers, even he is afraid of Qing Xihuan, let alone say that he is a retainer, and he doesn't know what kind of coercion Qing Xihuan has no choice but to follow, and he insists on supervising.

"It's okay. Qingyuan got up, and the iron armor clanged.

"Listen to the order, go out and two people to find out if there are obstacles within a radius of ten miles, be cautious. ”

"Yes!" the two sentries rode out, one east and one west.

The rest of the soldiers rested on the spot, and after an afternoon of driving, they were really a little tired. Before leaving, Qing Xi Huan watched the celestial phenomena and said that Zi'an was going to rain, and he was uneasy, so he still asked Qingyuan to go in the afternoon. But the road must be slow, out of Zi'an almost 500 miles, you must find a post house to rest for a night before hurrying.

Qingyuan looked at the night like silver, and it was really raining again in the direction of Zi'an City, but fortunately it was not raining now.

It's really hard to call Qingyuan after asking yourself to really rest for a night, thinking that the sentinel will set off after the investigation, in short, Dong Jian and Zhou Yunkai have already traveled all morning, and they can't bump into each other, so what are the concerns.

"Newspaper-" The sentry returned from the horse, and shouted on horseback, "General, I have gone to investigate, and there is no ......."

The sentry's words on the horse came to an abrupt end, and the horse was still at great speed, only a moment later, the sentry's head hit the ground.

"Alert!" Qingyuan shouted, and the whole army stood up and surrounded the carriage with swords in hand, looking around.

Only a few whistles were heard, the horses' hooves clattered, and a crowd of roughly dressed people gathered around. There were fifty in number, and the leader was shirtless, with a large knife around his neck in one hand, and the head of another sentinel in the other.

"Sand bandit!" Qingyuan frowned and clenched the long sword in front of him.

"Our general is here, and it is disrespectful to come from afar~ Haha, disrespectful and disrespectful. I saw that the sand bandit in front of him with a big waist and a round waist was tied with a black cloth on his head and a rough hemp rope wrapped around his neck, and he threw the head of the sentry to Qingyuan's feet as he spoke. Put your feet on the horse's back and sit cross-legged on the horse.

Qingyuan looked at it angrily, and the sand bandits kept cheering, holding a big knife and a murderous spirit.

Qingyuan has many years of experience in the battlefield, and knows that he is not an opponent of the sand bandits, but the sand bandits are not reasonable people, what they want is money, and they will not give up if they don't get it.

"Heroes from all walks of life, today I Qingyuan borrowed the road here, if other heroes have difficulties and ask Qingyuan, Qingyuan will do his best!" Qingyuan arched his hand and said slightly calmly.

The sand bandit didn't buy it, and drank it on horseback, laughing and said, "Grandpa is in trouble today, and he wants to use the money in your carriage to spend, but you don't give it?" Dozens of sand bandits behind him also laughed.

Qingyuan calmly bowed to the sand bandit and said, "Hero, my carriage is full of grass, there are not a few bags of rice, it is useless to you but it is of great use to me, if you let it go today, I will definitely thank you!"

Qingyuan was afraid that he would bring too many troops to attract attention, so he only brought fifty soldiers, but he was about to be deflated at the moment.

"Don't bargain with me! Grandpa is not a person you can talk about! Even if you can't get money today and kill Qingyuan, grandpa can make a name for himself for thousands of miles, and this trip will not be a loss. ”

The sand bandits' words were wanton, so that Qingyuan finally ran out of patience, and shouted angrily behind him, "Release the arrow!" After saying that, the crowd took out a bow and crossbow under the carriage and fired several arrows at dozens of sand bandits, and the sand bandits on horseback did not react for a while, and after knowing that it was Qingyuan's plan, it was too late, and he had already been hit by several arrows, and there were countless casualties.

The leader of the sand bandits was furious, "Grandma's deceived me! Take your life!" said that the crossbowmen behind him took cover, and he ran to Qingyuan with the big knife and the sand bandits behind him.

Qingyuan also drew his sword to meet the enemy, slashed the two people behind the sand bandit with a sword, then turned the horse's head, ran back and slashed at the back of the sand bandit leader.

The sand bandit was injured behind him and shook violently, and immediately turned his body and slashed towards Qingyuan, Qingyuan pulled the reins to raise the horse, the horse neighed and raised its front hooves, and the moment it landed, it stabbed the leader of the sand bandit with a sword.

The leader of the sand bandits was struck by the sword, fell off his horse, and died of his life.

Seeing that the leader was dead, the sand bandits behind him rushed to Qingyuan shouting revenge, but they were killed by random arrows and fell at the foot of the mountain.

"Haha, but Erl. With a wave of his sword on Qingyuan's horseback, the soldiers stopped firing their arrows and put away their bows and crossbows.

Qingyuan looked at the dead sand bandits on the ground, and his heart couldn't help but strengthen the idea of hurrying quickly. The province has many long nights and dreams.

"Alright, it's a trivial matter, put away your weapons and continue on your way. Qingyuan raised his sword and drank, and all the generals obeyed the order.

"Yes!"

The soldiers gathered their weapons and prepared to hurry. Before he could take a few steps, he heard a voice behind him.

Whoosh –

"What sound?" Qingyuan heard the wind and quickly looked at it on guard.

Whoosh –

After that, countless rumors pierced the ears, followed by screams and screams, and all the generals were hit by arrows, all of them fell to the ground and died, and blood flowed like a river.
