Volume 2 Fucheng Fengyun Chapter 29 Ambush Halfway
The north wind is sluggish and the snow is flying.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, on the day of parting, Ji Xiaowu said goodbye to many relatives and friends, and his mother Li Yu, Ji Rongrong embarked on a journey, Ji Rongcheng did not choose to go to Fucheng, his age has been exceeded, if he goes, the best result is also a peripheral student, his character is not suitable for those intrigues, the Ji family needs him, if the three of them are gone, the younger generation of the Ji family will have no one to support the scene, so he stayed and guarded the Ji family.
It's just that when parting, it was inevitable that the old mistakes would be made again, crying and crying, and even reluctant, Ji Xiaowu was embarrassed to stay any longer, so let's hurry up, otherwise maybe Ji Rongcheng would make some jokes.
The journey is more than 1,000 miles, and you have to start in advance, so you have to prepare to leave after the New Year, originally Ji Xiaoqi also wanted to go, but considering the long distance and complex changes, she still chose to stay, and was temporarily taken care of by Ji Xuhong, Li Yu helped Ji Xiaowu to enter school smoothly in Fucheng, and he would come back after staying for a while.
The eagle will always fly high one day, and it can't be comfortable in its mother's arms forever. Ji Xiaowu will always face the world alone one day, this process of suffering is called growth, Li Yu will not always shelter Ji Xiaowu, that will only harm him.
When he saw Ji Rongrong going with him, Ji Xiaowu understood who the Soul Condensing Grass had finally let take.
Ji Rongrong has nothing to worry about, her parents died very early, and her personality is relatively withdrawn, maybe she has no reluctance, she sat in the carriage very early and waited for departure, and finally Ji Xiaowu said goodbye to everyone and set off in the sound of goodbye.
At the same time, Han Wenying stood in front of the gate of the Han family, looking at the direction of the Ji family, and muttered: "Rong Rong, I will not change if I recognize you in this life, I will try my best to keep up with your pace, although I have exceeded the age limit and cannot enter the academy, but who said that if I don't enter the academy, I can't become a strong person, I know the loneliness in your heart, one day I will open the door of your closed heart, and I will also set foot on the road to Fucheng in a few days, I have taken the Soul Condensing Grass, and I vow to become a strong person in this life, shelter you from the wind and rain, and be safe and smooth." β
......
In the snowfield in the distance, a team of people and horses escorted a carriage pulled by a unicorn slowly disappeared in the distance, in the carriage Li Yu was talking to Ji Rongrong, maybe because of Ji Xupu, Ji Rongrong was indifferent to Ji Xiaowu's family, and the two of them chatted with me.
Ji Xiaowu looked out the window, a rut disappeared far away, the snow all around, beautiful, thousands of miles away, half of the terrain will be plains, now is the snowy season in the north, ordinary people are huddled in their own homes to drink and chat, enjoy the fruits of the year, and at this time, those cultivators like Ji Xiaowu have begun to set foot on the way to Xiangyang Mansion City.
Xiangyang Mansion City plus the surrounding eighteen regions, the population of more than 10 million, the ability of the human race to reproduce is super strong, after these hundreds of years of reproduction, has exceeded the population before the catastrophe, hundreds of years ago, Qingzhou, Yanzhou fell, directly affected Jizhou, and Xiangyang Mansion is located in the northernmost part of Jizhou, affected the most, that war directly caused millions of casualties, fortunately at that time Jizhou Wang Xiongcai overlord, superior strength, arrived in time to block the demon army with his own strength, kill the demon clan division to save the crisis of the fall of Jizhou, that war, Jizhou Wang led the army and the Jizhou sect at that time directly to Xiangyang Pass as the center, cut off the demon army, closed the door and beat the dog, Kill the main force of the demon clan hundreds of thousands, only to finally let the demon clan withdraw the army, there has never been that kind of war for hundreds of years, and then use the power of moving mountains and reclamation, spend a lot of money to re-establish Xiangyang Pass, making him the most important pass in the north, the most important barrier to resist the demon clan.
Then there is the Jizhou School Palace, there are the establishment of the colleges of various Fucheng, and there are dozens of formal students of Fucheng College, these people are geniuses in various regions and Fucheng, and the people who hold this generation of bull's ears, if they want to stand out among these people, it is even more difficult, there are too many places that need to test Ji Xiaowu in the future, only the heart is like a rock and can we gain something, the road of cultivation is a road of no return, on this road there are corpses and bones all over the field, a careless is the way of death, the road of cultivation is a road of rise, respect and sanctification, save countless people with your own strength, and survive in heaven and earthγ
In this way, they walked on this vast snowy plain for several days, and they were already far away from the Fenglong Mountain area, Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong meditated and cultivated if they had nothing to do, and Li Yuzai generally looked at the two of them with a kind smile and protected the Dharma for them.
On this day, Li Yu was still on the side to protect the Dharma for the two, and suddenly turned her head to look at the north, her brows furrowed slightly, she obviously sensed that there was a pair of people and horses in the distance who were rushing towards them, there are many businessmen in the eighteen areas of Xiangyang Mansion who will organize teams to go to Fucheng to do business, like the Han family is a business family, they all have business in Fucheng, and the Ji family is just not as good as the Han family, and there are also many big clans in other regions who come and go to Fucheng, so it is not surprising to meet people and horses on the road.
At first, Li Yu didn't care, but after a while, Li Yu sensed that this group of people was obviously coming towards his side, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the captain of the Ji family's guards to report that he had encountered an unknown team and was rushing towards his side.
Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong also woke up from their cultivation, and the three of them got off the carriage directly, only to see a group of black spots slowly appearing in the distance, which were particularly conspicuous on the vast snowfield, from far to near, the Ji family guards had already lined up in front of the carriage.
Captain Ji Jiawei said to Li Yu behind him; Madame, it seems to be a horse thief. β
In this plain borders several regions, belonging to the three regardless of the place, looking at the posture of the black shadow riding in front of it, there is no organization at all, just rush forward indiscriminately, that is, relying on the strength of the crowd to rob the house, this plain often has business horse teams to and fro, so this kind of triangle area is the most likely to give birth to robbers and horse thieves.
Li Yu was relieved when he heard that it was a horse thief, if it was a horse thief, it would be easy to deal with, these horse thieves stopped dozens of feet away from them from far to near.
There were about a hundred people in this team of horse thieves, most of them were riding tall horses, and some were carrying big knives on foot, staring at the Ji family's team with a fierce look.
The captain of the Ji Jiawei stepped forward to negotiate, whether there would be no conflict or not, and he would come back after a while and report to Li Yuyu: "Madam, it is indeed a horse thief, just asking for some money." β
Li Yu is unwilling to entangle more on this, she is not a killer, these people are a bit of a hardship, the world is difficult, some can't survive, there are too many robbers, if she sees one and kills another, she is afraid that she will not be able to kill in this life.
"Now that it's agreed, it's up to you to call the shots, let's leave as soon as possible. β
After a while, the negotiation between the two sides was completed, and this group of horse thieves flashed a path from the middle of the team for the Ji family team to pass, and the captain of the Ji family guard was also a master of knowledge, and he was used to seeing all kinds of scenes.
Just as the Ji family's team marched to the middle of the horse thief team, the situation changed suddenly, and only one voice was heard: kill.
The horse thieves on both sides suddenly raised their steel knives and slashed towards the Ji family guards, although they were careful and vigilant, but what people never expected was that these horse thieves were all cultivators, the lowest were all perception realms, and some were all through the realm of knowledge, and the Ji family guards were cut down a few people in an instant.
The moment the captain of the guard saw this scene, he shouted loudly: "Alert", the Ji family guards are all well-trained people, who have been fighting against monsters all year round, and have already practiced their abilities, at the moment when the situation happened, everyone seemed to be close to the middle to protect Ji Xiaowu and their carriage, but there was no intention, and there were still a few members of the Ji family guard who were cut down.
Almost instantly, a few of the horse thieves shot out of the heroic breath, jumped up in the air and rushed directly to the carriage, the captain of the guard saw this scene, Yin Tang's eyebrows shone brightly, and he mobilized the power of the whole body to draw a knife to block one of them, only to see one of the horse thieves, raising his knife to split Huashan like a downward slash from the sky, when the two knives collided, the captain of the guard was instantly chopped down.
The rest of the people gathered on the knife, and a few swords slashed towards the carriage, but just when the sword was about to fall on the carriage, there seemed to be an extra ordinary around the carriage, and the sword entered the mud like a sea, swaying a trace of ripples, and disappeared in an instant, all of which happened in a few breaths from the sound of killing to the disappearance of the sword.
Just when someone among the horse thieves shouted to kill, Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong knew that the situation was not good, so they immediately wanted to go out to fight, and Li Yu on the side said coldly: "You stay here." β
Li Yu is now extremely angry, this group of people is not horse thieves at all, she guessed correctly, someone really dares to attack and kill them, is it the people from the Fucheng side or the people from the Fenglong Mountain, or something else, she wants to find out.
