Chapter Sixty-Seven: Ji will be safe and save the dragon
As the sun set, it sank into the dense forest in the distance.
It was already dark, but it was not completely dark, and the occasional wind blew, but it brought a wave of heat.
After a day of exposure to the scorching summer sun, the gale ride is also at its most exhausting.
People are sleepy, but there is still more than half an hour before the shift change. Some of the knights, feeling sorry for their mounts, dismounted, poured water from their water bladders into their helmets, and fed them to their most loyal companions.
Shi Zhiyi looked at the scene in front of him, silently counted down in his heart, and prepared to rush out of the woods to snatch the horses at the moment when it was dark. He had already chosen the target to start with, it was a dark blue wind-chasing horse, after a whole day of exposure and running, it was still proud, and the horse was abnormal.
The county lord of Yi Ning has been sent into the bronze ring space by him, at this time, it is no longer suitable for this little girl who has fallen in love to continue to show her gentleness and strength in front of her sweetheart, and the county lord of Yi Ning also knows the measure, and after a thousand instructions to him, the shadow disappeared from the branch.
Just when Shi Zhiyi's countdown reached seventeen, an unexpected event disrupted his plan.
The sound of horses' hooves came from beyond the dense forest behind him.
A rider came from the north, skimmed over the left side of the dense forest, and headed straight for the Gale Rider's defense.
The rider on the horse was dressed in a moon-white suit, with a vigorous posture and skillful riding skills.
The night was dark, and the rider's face could not be seen clearly, and he could only tell from the silhouette that he was not very old, and seemed to be under twenty. After passing through the hill where Shi Zhiyi was hiding, one man and one horse actually accelerated again, and before the cavalrymen who were feeding their mounts could get on their horses, they had already rushed out of the defense line like a fly. Then, the rider's reins shook slightly, and the horse's body under his crotch turned slightly to the side, and galloped away towards the southeast.
The Gale Cavalry of the Beigong Family was not in vain, and in an instant, dozens of cavalrymen turned over and chased after the young rider. The sound of the bowstring cracked through the air, and a dozen feathered arrows shot out like meteors catching up with the moon, but they were narrowly avoided by the rider.
Within more than ten miles of Shi Zhiyi's hiding place, there were more than a hundred gale riders, and the appearance of that white-clothed knight instantly took away half of the troops. The remaining dozens of horsemen remained on guard, but they all looked in the direction of their comrades.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar again, and another horse came from the north and crossed the right side of Shi Zhiyi's hideout.
It was dark, and I could no longer see the figure and age of the rider on the horse.
This time, the Gale Rider's reaction was much faster than before, and dozens of feather arrows flew out in an instant, heading towards the rider, only to see the rider flickering and moving, and the spear in his hand turned into a shield of light in front of him, shooting down the feathered arrows one after another.
At the moment when he staggered with the Gale Cavalry, the spear came out of the hole like a poisonous snake, leaving two bloody holes in the necks of the two Gale Cavalrymen, and then the horse's head turned slightly and ran towards the southwest.
Seeing that the martial arts cultivation of the person who came this time was far beyond just now, dozens of gale riders immediately followed closely, constantly greeting the rider in front of him with feather arrows, intending to slow down the speed of his escape, most of the feather arrows either missed or were picked apart by the rider with a spear, but in the rain of arrows, there was a light and shadow castrated like lightning, and it actually broke through the defense of the spear and deeply pierced the rider's left arm!
The rider didn't realize it, but the movement of the spear in his hand inevitably slowed down, and another arrow missed, hitting the horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, and the speed soared, and in an instant, he disappeared into Shi Zhiyi's field of vision with dozens of pursuers behind him.
At this time, within seven or eight miles of Shi Zhiyi's line of sight, there were only two or three horses left. Just when Shi Zhiyi was about to rush out of the woods, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him again!
This time, it was still a rider, but he held the reins of two other horses in his right hand in addition to the horses under his hip. As he passed down the hill, he let go of the reins in his right hand, let go of the two empty horses, and the spear in his hand poked out, and stabbed the two ownerless horses lightly in the buttocks, and the horses were in pain, and they ran towards the dense forest!
The rider then rounded the hill and, after making sure he had caught the attention of the remaining three Gale Cavalry, galloped southwest.
At this time, there was no more gale cavalry in Shi Zhiyi's field of vision! And the two horses that had just galloped into the woods, one had been tamed by him, and the other had disappeared between the sycamore trees and vines.
When the first rider appeared, Shi Zhiyi thought that it was just a coincidence, maybe it was other people who were hunted down by the Beigong family, and they chose the same time and place to break through with him. But when the second and third riders reappeared, a thunderclap seemed to sound in Shi Zhiyi's mind, and then, endless rain filled his eyes.
He knew that no matter how fast the horses under his crotch ran, the three riders would not eventually escape from the pursuit of Gale Rider, not because they couldn't escape, but because their goal was not to escape.
They wanted to firmly attract the pursuers behind them, and tear open as long gaps as possible in the Beigong family's heaven and earth net.
It's no coincidence that these three riders are trading their lives for a chance of life.
They are like moths to a fire, knowing that their end will be reduced to ashes, but they still do not hesitate.
They are his robes;
They are his brothers!
They are warriors from Yunqi City, who were ordered to lurk in Yongzhou, thousands of miles away from their hometown, but in order to save his life, they have no chance to return to their hometown in this life, and return to the ancient Xiongcheng that is embedded in the Jade Belt Mountains like a pearl!
Shi Zhiyi held back the tears in his eyes, clamped his crotch under the belly of the horse with his legs, and the brown-red horse rushed out of the dense forest in an instant like an arrow from the string, disappearing into the endless darkness.
What Shi Zhiyi didn't know was that the same time and the same thing happened in the nineteen locations of this heaven and earth net centered on Feng'an City! These nineteen locations were the locations where Shi Zhiyi was most likely to hide after careful consideration and determination by Qing Ye, the person in charge of the Feng'an Branch of Yingqiong Wei, based on his understanding and analysis of the terrain around Feng'an City.
The moment the sky turns from bright to dark, it is the best time to break through, this is what every middle and lower-level lieutenant non-commissioned officer of Yunqi City is taught by his own instructor or commander in training and daily battles, Aoba believes that if the young man who was hunted down is really his own young city lord Shi Zhiyi, then he will definitely choose this opportunity!
Therefore, the time he chose to start the operation was half a quarter of an hour before dark!
Yes, a total of sixty-seven people from the head of the Yingqiong Wei Feng'an Branch, below Aoba, were all killed!
Among them, the highest cultivation is the green leaf at the peak of the cold window, in the northeast direction of the Ning Yu River, after breaking through the encirclement for sixty miles, hundreds of arrows were hit in his body, and even people and horses were shot alive by gale riding. The lowest cultivation was Li Dacheng, a recruit who had just been sent to Feng'an two months ago and was in the late stage of seventeen years of bone forging, as the first horse to break through the pass due west, he broke out of the encirclement less than two miles before he was pierced by a gale-riding centurion with a shot, and he was so angry!
Yuzhou, Leyang City, in the secret room.
Jin Manchang looked at the letter of despair with sixty-seven signatures brought by the only survivor of the Feng'an branch, a six-winged lightning bee, bent down his fat body, and bowed three times to the southwest.
