(PS1: In the low-key book review, a friend replied that he was very optimistic about the eunuch of this book, because there was too much suspense.) The embarrassed brother of the paste bar said that he was worried that the smoke raised was the fire of the princes, laughing, I will be worthy of the smart women in the article, and worthy of your support, because any foreshadowing, I have an explanation on the outline, and if I can't, you will also underestimate me. ）

There were not many entourages with Luo Xiyue going south, in addition to the thirty-six guards composed of red tassels in their hands, there were also twenty-one servants, including peony.

And the number of thieves who suddenly appeared was exactly twice that of Luo Xiyue and his party.

Looking at the masked burly men outside through the car window, if it weren't for Peony's reminder, Luo Xiyue would have thought that these people were bandits who had fled astray because of a bad harvest.

There is a difference between a thief and a thief, but there is a world of difference in strength.

Looking at the light in the eyes of those people who were exposed, from the posture they held their knives to the formation they formed, Luo Xiyue's brows furrowed, she couldn't understand a little, she didn't understand how hundreds of people could gather outside the walls of Xiliang City without being noticed by others, let alone on the official road, aren't these thieves afraid of being discovered.

With the sudden appearance of these thieves, the people of Luo Xiyue's escort team began to move around, and the leader of the team was a thirty-year-old middle-aged man, named Ning Xichen, the son of Ning Ran, the general of Ning Guohuang's capital guarding the city, he was not the first to discover these thieves, but he was the first to raise the knife in his hand, as the knife in Ning Xichen's hand changed gestures, these guards on horseback began to change formation, and they scattered around Luo Xiyue's carriage, including those entourage.

The spears were pierced into the ground at their feet, the curved bows they carried were held in their hands, the arrows of the feathered arrows were coldly pointed at the masked men, and each of them had an iron shield on their arms to resist the swords and spears.

With a sweep of his eyes, Ning Xichen knew the approximate number of thieves on the other side, looking at their appearance of besieging but not attacking, Ning Xichen frowned, but the hand holding the knife did not tremble in the slightest, calm and powerful.

With thirty-six people to face a group of thieves of hundreds of people, although Ning Xichen, who has experienced the battlefield since he was a child, knew that it was a vicious battle, but he did not have the slightest discouragement, and it could even be said that there was no despair, on the contrary, the sudden appearance of thieves aroused the blood in his heart.

Looking at the group of thieves who seemed to be waiting for something, Ning Xichen didn't mean to come forward to talk, because he knew that his party might have fallen into the eyes of someone with a heart a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have met so coincidentally, not to mention that the other party's formation was obviously prepared, and it could be seen from their deliberate masking that it was not only a waste of time, but also very stupid.

After Ning Xichen called his henchmen to inform him of his plan, he rode around and came to Luo Xiyue's carriage.

"Please rest assured, we will defend your safety to the death. ”

Seeing Ning Xichen bowing his head and clasping his fists and talking, Luo Xiyue nodded, and after nodding, she found that Ning Xichen couldn't see it, so she hummed softly, and then spit out a word of caution softly, while Ning Blueberry on the side looked at the masked man outside with a hint of surprise on his face, and looked at Luo Xiyue with a little more doubt in his eyes.

In the world of Ning Blueberry, I don't know what killing is, let alone why these masked people are here and why.

Hearing the answer he wanted, Ning Xichen's gaze swept over the more than twenty entourage, and finally looked at Peony sitting in the carriage and said, "After I leave in a while, you just drive the carriage and don't look back." ”

Peony nodded nervously at this Ning Xichen, and held the reins in her hand tightly.

Ning Xichen didn't say anything more, and rode to the front of the guards with a knife in hand, at this time Ning Xichen had already made two decisions, one was to break through, and the other was to give up these entourage.

The target of those thieves was Luo Xiyue in the carriage, and if these entourages were lucky, they might have a glimmer of life when they and the others left.

Thinking of something, Ning Xichen looked at the way he came from, although there were only a dozen people there, Ning Xichen always felt that the danger was there.

It has been less than an hour since I left Jinluo City, and if I hurry up, it will only take half an hour to rush back to Jinluo City, and whether I can go back alive depends on who is fast enough in this half hour.

This is what many people think when faced with such a situation, but Ning Xichen doesn't think so.

Standing in front of the guards, Ning Xichen was like a knife in his hand, and the feather arrows in the hands of the thirty-five guards behind him shot out, and at a distance of a hundred steps, the feather arrows roared.

The formation of the thieves was affected by the feathered arrows, and it was a little chaotic, and some of them could not avoid being injured, but none of them retreated and shouted alive, just quietly waiting for something.

After the first round of feather arrows were fired, the guard feather arrows led by Ning Xichen were rewound, and their eyes were confused, and Ning Xichen rushed forward first.

He's going to keep heading south!

The horses under their crotches neighed, and the guards fired their arrows again, and then they grabbed their spears and charged towards the thieves with the wagon driven by Peony, who had already raised their whips.

Although it was light cavalry, the guards on the horses still carried a fierce momentum.

Just then, the thieves moved.

They began to retreat.

Behind a dead tree on both sides of the official road, there was a sudden faint sound of string pulling.

Ning Xichen's hand holding the handle of the knife stiffened slightly.

Turning his head to look into the depths of the dense forest, Ning Xichen saw a feathered arrow in the sky shooting towards the peony driving the carriage with a whistling sound.

Shouting loudly to be careful, Ning Xichen did not look back, if these guards couldn't even stop this feather arrow, he didn't know what else to look like to face the 100,000 people of the Ning Kingdom.

Poof, a muffled sound!

Like a hammer slamming into the wall, the feathered arrow went into the chest of one of the guards beside the magnificent carriage - the shield on the guard's left arm had been pierced, and although the spear in his right hand was still sharp, the young man was still young and had no strength to wield it.

The young man's body fell heavily from mid-air and landed beside Peony, the running carriage did not stop, the young man fell on the snow and lay on the ground, the sky slowly became a dot in his eyes, smaller and smaller, darker and darker.

At the last moment before he died, the young man closed his eyes tightly.

At the moment when Ning Xichen shouted out to be careful, the well-trained guards reacted quickly, the guards rode their horses tightly around the carriage, they didn't know if there were any feather arrows next, the guards knew that the people in the car must be the enemy's first target, and they must not let the people in the car be hurt in the slightest, even if a hair is missing, at least not before they die.

Another feather arrow was shot in the sky, and the target was still the peony driving the carriage, followed by the third, but the target was Ning Xichen, who was in the lead.

Once again, a guard stopped an arrow shot at Peony, but at the cost of his precious young life.

The whistling feather arrow came to Ning Xichen in an instant, Ning Xichen's body jumped up from the horse and dodged the feather arrow, through the two feather arrows in front of him, Ning Xichen knew that the purpose of these people was not to kill them all, or that they didn't want the lives of the people in the carriage, otherwise they wouldn't shoot directly at the charioteer, so Ning Xichen felt a lot more at ease, looking at the thieves who were getting closer and closer, Ning Xichen silently calculated the distance between himself and the thieves in his heart.

He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for his opponent to be negligent.
