Chapter 20: Breakout

The Chu family's convoy forgot to sleep and eat all the way, and hurried for five days, but although Chu Yunming was careful again and again, he was still attacked by several groups of bandits on the way, and many of the guards were seriously injured, and there were originally more than 100 guards, but now there are less than 80 people who still have combat effectiveness.

But these more than eighty guards are not as good as before, in the past five days, the Chu family can be said to be panicked, unable to sleep at night, hurried during the day, and always on guard against bandits, no matter how strong the guards of the Chu family are, they can't stand this kind of abuse, just five days seem to have passed a long, long time, and everyone's face is full of fatigue and panic.

On this day, at night, Chu Yunming saw that everyone was really unable to walk, and he was forced to find an open place and settle down.

There was a large meadow as far as the eye could see, and they chose a small forest to camp in, so that they did not worry about the enemy's sneak attack, and even if someone was coming, they would know it early on.

The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the void, and the white moonlight illuminated the wilderness.

The people of the Chu family gathered in groups, burning bonfires, and resting on the grass.

Situ Yu leaned against a big tree, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looking up at the starry sky, reminiscing about his experiences in these days.

It's not that he hasn't thought about taking the opportunity to break away from the Chu family's convoy in the past few days, but this Chu second child is very shrewd, and he sends people to watch him all the time, although he is a little aggrieved these days, but Situ Yu is also happy, which is a hundred times better than coming to Situ's house.

What's more, after fighting with those bandits in the past few days, Situ Yu gradually has an accurate grasp of his own strength, and his strength has also improved a lot, especially the actual combat experience has increased a lot, and his combat effectiveness has greatly increased, and he has reached the peak of the second level of the spirit master.

However, just as Situ Yu was pondering, a deafening loud noise suddenly came from afar.

Situ Yu's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly turned over and looked into the distance, and by the moonlight, he could vaguely see that the dust and mist in the distant sky were rolling, as if they were swept towards this side like a terrifying wave.

It didn't take long to see that in the dust and mist were most of the cavalry, surrounded by the convoy from all directions.

"It's not good, I actually fell into an ambush, I really don't know what kind of good things are in this Chu Lao second-hand, and it has attracted so many people to covet it!" Situ Yu's face changed, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Oh no, enemy attack, enemy attack ......" At this time, some of the guards who kept vigil also discovered this abnormality, and their faces changed dramatically, and they exclaimed in a hurry.

Suddenly, everyone in the Chu family was extremely busy and panicked, especially those female dependents were even more frightened and screamed.

Chu Yunming's face was extremely gloomy, looking at the gradually approaching cavalry in the distance, it was obviously different from the previous times, the first few times were some bandits who did not enter the stream, obviously deliberately tempted and consumed their energy, and this was the real killer weapon of the other party.

"Don't panic, everyone, hurry up and form a formation to defend!" Chu Hong is the captain of the escort team, his face was calm, and he was not in chaos, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly.

Soon, a group of guards formed a circle around several carriages, and arranged the women and wounded inside, while the remaining eighty or so guards were divided into two circles to defend the perimeter, the outer layer was armed with silver spears, and the inner layer of defense circles were armed with long swords.

The cavalry came so fast that it was like a gust of wind, and soon encircled the entire woods.

At a glance, under the moonlight were all cavalry dressed in black armor and holding cold shining blades, these cavalry were about a thousand people, all of them were silent, a sense of slaughter filled the surroundings, the temperature dropped very much, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.

"Master, you will lead people to break through in a while, and your subordinates will stop these thieves!" Chu Hong's expression also became extremely gloomy, and he roared.

Situ Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and the Yin Hall couldn't help but be covered with fine sweat, his face was a little pale, and he scolded secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that I would also suffer, and I was miserable by this Chu Er!"

Although Situ Yu has always been in Situ's house, he still has some knowledge, looking at the group of cavalry in front of him, well-trained, and there is a fierce murderous aura all over his body.

These cavalry, at a glance, know that ordinary bandits and soldiers are not comparable at all, this is obviously the elite of the elite who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are not necessarily the more than 100 guards of the Chu family.

The more than 1,000 cavalry just surrounded everyone, and it didn't take long for a road to gradually split up in front, and a middle-aged man in a silver robe slowly urged his horse out, and there were four or five people behind him.

However, what puzzled Situ Yu was that among the few people behind the middle-aged man, it was obvious that the three masters of Heavenly Wolf Mountain were inside.

The man in black urged the horse to stop dozens of meters away from the Chu family, and the man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looked at Chu Lao Er with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Qin Batian!" Chu Lao'er's face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes stared at the man in black, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's you!"

"Haha, Chu Yunming, I didn't expect it, your Chu family has been careful again and again, but our Qin family still knows about it!" Qin Batian stared at Chu Yunming with a playful face, and said jokingly: "It's a shame that you Chu Lao Er has always prided himself on being smart, and he only specially arranged more than 100 guards, and did not arrange a master to accompany him, and he also pretended to bring a group of female dependents to show others, but you deceived others, but you can't fool me!"

In addition to the transcendent behemoth of the Situ family, the Hongtian Empire also has four major families, namely the Chu family, the Huang family, the Qiao family, and the Qin family. These four major families have all been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have a very high status and great strength in the Hongtian Empire.

However, there are great grievances between the four major families, and they fight openly and secretly.

The Qin Batian in front of him is a member of the Qin family, one of the four major families of the Hongtian Empire, and these more than 1,000 cavalrymen are naturally also the elite of the Qin family.

Chu Yunming's eyes stared at Qin Batian on horseback, and his face changed.

"I didn't expect that I, Chu Yunming, would lose the chess after all, but Qin Batian, you don't have to be arrogant, it is still unknown who will die today!" Chu Yunming gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice.

"Chu Yunming, you don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, just obediently hand over the thing you escorted, otherwise today next year will be your sacrifice day!" Qin Batian's expression changed, and he said in a cold tone.

The faces of everyone in the Chu family changed greatly, especially those female dependents who were even more frightened, crying and crying.

"Master!" the old butler glanced at Chu Yunming with a complicated expression, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Chu Yunming raised his hand and sneered at Qin Batian: "I'm afraid that your Qin family will not be blessed, to tell you the truth, the Situ family also knows about this matter, and has long secretly formed an alliance with us, ready to explore together, if you want your Qin family to be removed from now on, you might as well try it!"

Hearing this, Qin Batian's expression changed, the Situ family had an absolute status in the Hongtian Empire, even if their four major families were combined, they could not be compared.

"Chu Yunming, you still have to play tricks when the catastrophe comes, there are no people in this radius of hundreds of miles, you all have to die here today, who would know that this is what our Qin family did, kill you, I can also get that thing!" Qin Batian's eyes flashed with a cold light, sneered, and suddenly pulled out his long sword, pointing at it from afar.

"Kill ......"

Suddenly, in the originally quiet night, there was a burst of earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the surrounding cavalry urged their horses to kill, and the blades refracted the cold light under the moonlight.

Chu Yunming's face changed greatly, he didn't expect this Qin Batian to be so tough, and he didn't have a chance to say anything at this time.

"Defense!" Chu Yunming shouted with a heavy face.

Suddenly, more than a thousand cavalry around rushed to kill, although because there was a forest, so that the cavalry could not give full play to their advantages, but after all, these soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and their strength was not bad.

"Spear!" Chu Hong suddenly raised his sword and drank.

A group of guards of the Chu family who were guarding outside suddenly raised their silver spears, stabbed them out with heavy blows, and the cold light flashed, and most of the silver spears were stabbed on the horse's belly.

"Sigh......" The horse was in pain and jumped up neighing.

Before the cavalry guards of the Chu family could attack, many of them fell off their horses one after another, and there was a shortage of soldiers, and some were even trampled to death by the fierce horses.

"Attack!" Chu Hong shouted again.

There were still a few sword-wielding guards left, and they stabbed their long swords at the fallen cavalrymen in an orderly manner.

"Puff ......"

Blood gushed out, staining the earth red, and a strong smell of blood wafted through the air.

Although the more than 100 guards of the Chu family are strong and prepared, after all, the other party is outnumbered, more than ten times more than them, and after adding the exhaustion of the Chu family's group one by one, it didn't take long for them to become the end of the crossbow.

After a long time, the damage increased greatly, and the opponent broke through the defenses.

"Master, break through quickly!" Chu Hong was in a hurry and shouted in a hurry.

As soon as the words fell, he raised the silver spear in his hand and jumped forward, attacking Qin Batian, who had just urged the horse over.

The fierce spiritual power was full of silver spears, like a lightning bolt in the dark night, the speed was fast, and a shocking flood broke through the air.

"I don't know what is dead or alive!" Qin Batian looked at Chu Hong who attacked with contempt and contempt, and suddenly pulled out his long sword and slashed down, a simple move, without any fancy, but the terrifying aura all over his body was added to that sword, and a dazzling light bloomed on the long sword.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and Chu Hong's silver spear had already been cut off by a fierce sword qi before it stabbed in front of the other party, and then he snorted coldly in the air, and flew back upside down, with a deep blood mark on his chest.

Chu Yunming could not take care of Chu Hong at this time, and led a few guards to break through to the other right.
