The atmosphere was tense, as if everyone's body was covered with an invisible diaphragm, and every breath was so difficult.

I grabbed Pei Yuanxiu's hand harder and harder, and he also held my hand tightly.

And at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Losh.

Evil Hou Qi must have murderous intentions towards him, if in normal times, Evil Hou Qi is not his opponent at all, even if he has this heart ten thousand times, he doesn't have the courage to do it once.

But now it's hard to say.

In case it's true-

Thinking of this, my heart was about to stop, and I looked at Luo Shi with wide eyes, only to see him riding on horseback, obviously already familiar with the surrounding situation and his current situation, but I didn't see him have the slightest timidity, but stared coldly at Evil Hou Qi, not taking a step back.

The air is slowly condensing.

Everyone's breath was still.

I can even see the flickering cold light in the surrounding leaves, countless arrows have been aimed at us, as long as Evil Hou Qi gives an order, the three of us are afraid that we will all be shot into a hornet's nest!

But Rosh remained silent, and even the horse under his crotch was very stable, standing there motionless. I stood beside him, looking at his resolute side face, those eyes were full of arrogance and cruelty, and the feeling of looking at a person was as if a sharp knife was pressed against the throat.

At this moment, it is obvious that we are in danger, but for some reason, his gaze gives people the illusion that it seems that in an instant, he will take the other party's life.

Evil Hou Qi had been staring at him all the time, and the eyes of the two of them were like two sharp swords, and the blades of the swords were against each other, but at this time, his sword seemed to be a little unsupportable, and his eyes flickered.

Rosh was still looking at him.

At this moment, I even felt that the entire dense forest was already filled with an aura, the breath that belonged to Luo Shi, everyone was under his control, and the uneasiness of the evil Hou Qi had spread from his gaze to his whole body, he suddenly turned his face away, avoiding Luo Shi's gaze, and the hand holding the reins was constantly exerting force, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were bursting out.

That hand, as long as he raised that hand, maybe he would make thousands of arrows around him fire in unison.

However, at this time, his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he had almost gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't lift that hand.

Even the horse under his crotch became uneasy, his hooves kept stomping, and his head swayed from side to side, pulling the already tight reins even tighter, and several times he was unstable in his body.

Time passes little by little.

The cold light flickered even more violently, and I guessed that it was because the bowstring had been stretched full for a long time, and the endurance of the man was almost at the limit, and the arrows were trembling.

All the people are waiting for the order of the evil Houqi.

Evil Houqi's forehead and nose were already covered with cold sweat, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks, gathered on his chin, and condensed into a drop, dripping down.

There was a click, and it landed on the back of his hand.

I seemed to hear him grit his teeth and raise his hand suddenly.

At this moment, a clear whistle suddenly came.

It was very quiet in the dense forest, and this whistle suddenly sounded, as if it came from the sky, and it suddenly stabbed everyone and flinched, and I grabbed Pei Yuanxiu's hand and slammed it.

The voice is—

Before we could react, we saw Evil Houqi's face change suddenly.

The hand that had just been raised a little bit froze there.

There was a rustling sound from the otherwise quiet bushes beside us, and after a while, a horse came out of the woods, and the not strong and tall figure on horseback came into view, and its eyes were wide open to look at us.

"You-"

"Yang Chu?!"

As soon as Evil Hou Qi spoke, his voice was strangely hoarse, like the whimper of a beast.

I heard him let out what seemed to be a long breath, and I couldn't tell if he was depressed or relaxed, but his brow was twisted into a pimple.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of brushing around.

The sound sounded unfamiliar, but when I reacted for a moment, I realized that it was the sound of all the people retracting the arrows that had been on the bowstring.

Is it because of Yang Chu?

My original hanging heart finally fell a little at this moment, and Yang Chu rode over slowly, looked left and right, and then said to Evil Hou Qi: "Brother Evil Hou Qi, what are you bringing so many people for?" ”

Evil Hou Qi glanced at us, and his expression was unnatural: "Come and have a look." ”

"See?"

Yang Chu pursed his cheeks slightly, looked at him, and then looked back at Luo Shi, who had a cold face, as if he sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and turned back and said, "Why did you bring so many iron cavalry?" ”

Evil Hou Qi's brows tightened even tighter: "Adults, children, don't care." ”

Yang Chu was anxious when he heard it: "I'm not a child. ”

Evil Hou Qi ignored him, but slowly rode his horse over, and I saw that some parts of his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was also a little out of breath, as if he had just experienced a great battle.

Then, the centaurs behind him also emerged from the forest one after another.

It was only then that Rosh let out a sneer.

I raised my eyes to look at this tall and arrogant man, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

Yang Chu is still young, he may not be able to understand it, but anyone here understands in their hearts that just now Evil Hou Qi must want to kill Luo Shi and replace him, this was originally a golden opportunity for him, but even if it was such an opportunity, even if Luo Shi was alone, he was accompanied by an injured Pei Yuanxiu and an almost useless me, but Evil Hou Qi still didn't dare to start.

Luo Shi didn't even need to make a move, just a look, he had completely suppressed this grassland fox.

That is the real strength of the Iron Halberd Prince on the grassland!

Thinking of this, my heart became heavier and heavier.

Admittedly, I already knew the strength of Losh, but today, I saw once again how powerful and domineering he was.

Such a person, a man as perfect as the god of war, is the most powerful enemy for us, for the Celestial Empire, for the people there, they are all Shura-like beings.

His existence is always a threat.

And for Huang Tianba, his strength and domineering are a strong and indestructible cage!

I can hardly imagine what Huang Tianba will have to do to escape from his confinement and get real freedom.

Thinking of this, I only felt a pain in my chest like a knife, but at this time, Pei Yuanxiu next to me let out a low moan, I hurriedly turned my head to look, but saw that he was pale, and it was only at this time that he suddenly collapsed and pressed on my body.

I hurriedly helped him: "Yuan Xiu, are you okay?" ”

He gritted his teeth and shook his head, but his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

At this time, Luo Shi said coldly: "Evil Hou Qi, what are you doing when you come to my place and hurt my guests?" ”

Evil Hou Qi also seemed to have calmed down a little at this time, and a sly sneer appeared on his face: "Injury? Is it hurt? ”

“……”

"I'm just saying hello to them, look at our arrows, which one has hit them?"

“……”

"He's just useless, scared and fell off his horse, who is to blame?"

I gritted my teeth in anger, but I couldn't say anything.

It's true that we haven't been hit by an arrow now, but if we did...... It's useless to say anything.

This evil Hou Qi, as Prince Yang Chu said, is as cunning as a fox on the grassland.

Luo Shi said coldly: "What are you doing in Wuwei?" ”

"Come and see, can't you?"

“……”

"This is also our territory, you and I are both princes, I want to come and see, rightly so."

“……”

Luo Shi should also be extremely disgusted with the evil Hou Qi, the confrontation just now was almost a life-and-death fight, but in the end, no one made a move, and the two of them are both descendants of the Eight Heavenly Kings, no matter what, they have some scruples. He didn't say anything more, but looked back at us: "Is it okay?" ”

Yuan Xiu shook his head at him, then turned his head to look at me, held my wrist with one hand, and said softly, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

I shook my head slightly.

"Did you fall somewhere?"

I still shook my head.

His current appearance can be described as a wolf, with a lot of dirt and grass roots on his body, and a few strands of hair scattered down, but even so, his expression is still calm, and his eyes are still gentle, as if there is no pain on his body at all, and he breathes a sigh of relief: "I'm relieved that you're okay." ”

"But you-"

"Just rest."

While speaking, Yang Chu had already led the horse to us, and he looked at me with wide eyes: "Are you all right?" ”

"It's fine."

I shook my head, the tense atmosphere just now really made me a little frightened, and now looking at this child's clean eyes, it seems to be able to drive away the haze in my heart, and I relax a little.

What I didn't expect was that his appearance would make those people lay down their arms.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Prince Yangchu, why did those people listen to you just now?" ”

As soon as he heard me ask, a happy and smug expression immediately appeared on his face: "You don't know, Brother Evil Hou Qi brought iron cavalry!" ”

“……”

"My dad is the Iron Knight King!"

“……”

"Although my father is no longer leading the army now, those people respect my father very much, and of course, they respect me!"

"Oh-"

Looking at his triumphant expression, and then looking back at Evil Hou Qi's still somewhat iron-blue face, and the soldiers behind him, I suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was because of the Iron Rider King.

He doesn't lead the troops now, but the iron cavalry he trained is in the main position in any important joint of Shengjing, including Evil Hou Qi, and also under Luo Shi, the most powerful are the brave and good fighting iron cavalry, and the prestige of the Iron Cavalry King still exists, and his appeal in the army is naturally supreme.

Even his sons—

I looked at the little boy in front of me, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and even a childish man, who only thought about playing around all day long, but I didn't expect that even he had the right to command in the army.

This is probably the characteristic of the grassland people.

Such a nation that attaches great importance to military exploits and the army, once the war starts, it is no wonder that the Pei clan went south and was able to occupy the Central Plains.

If that's the case, then in the future-

Yang Chu saw that I had been distracted, so he came up to me and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

My thoughts were interrupted all of a sudden, and when I came back to my senses, I shook my head, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Yang Chu, what about Li'er?" ”

Li'er went into this dense forest with him, why did he only see him coming, Li'er?

Yang Chu was stunned, and immediately slapped his head: "Oops, I forgot to chase her!" ”

"Where is she?"

Yang Chu had already stood up, grabbed the reins and turned on the horse's back, and said: "She always runs in front of me, there are many trees here, and it is not easy to chase her, I chased her for a long time, but I lost the chase." I happened to see you here again, so I came over to have a look. ”

He said, tugging at the reins: "I'll go find her now." ”

I hurriedly said, "Go quickly, don't let her have an accident!" ”

"yes, got it!"

The boy shook the reins, and with a neighing of the horse, he ran out of the crowd, and disappeared into the woods in two or two blows.

Looking at his back, I let out a long breath.

Although I didn't see Li'er, but listening to him, Li'er should have run away by himself, and he didn't encounter any danger, so he didn't have to worry too much.

At this time, everyone got on the horse, Pei Yuanxiu also slowly walked to the side of the horse, and was about to get on the horse, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he heard him snort, and the whole person almost fell, I hurriedly stepped forward to support him, only to find that his left hand could no longer move, only his right hand could barely move, but he couldn't get on the horse by pulling the reins.

I gritted my teeth, walked over to him, and tugged at his sleeve: "Yuan Xiu." ”

"Huh?" He looked back at me.

Without saying a word, I turned and got on my horse, then leaned down and held out my hand to him.

He looked at my hand, a warm smile on his face, and without saying anything, he reached out and took my hand.

With a hard pull, he got on horseback and sat down behind me.

Immediately, I could feel the chest that was protecting me just now, and his body temperature and breath immediately surrounded me, hugging me tightly.

I bit my lower lip and said softly, "Hold me tight." ”

……

I never thought that one day, such words would come out of my mouth.

The man behind me, who seemed to be smiling even in his breath, slowly stretched out a hand, wrapped around my waist, and then forced.

I was hugged tightly by him.

His breath blew on his cheeks, and the scorching temperature made me shrink slightly, and my cheeks couldn't help but redden.

"Be careful, don't fall."

"Rest assured. I'll hold you tight. ”
