Chapter 365: Prey for the Swarm
"You can't climb into the clouds, and the mountains are connected to each other.
The scenery of the four seasons can be seen, and the peaks and loops meet the immortals. ”
The three people who were resting in the Huashan forest were drinking water, and Thorin was moved by the feeling, shaking his head and composing a poem.
Qiang Yan smiled beside him: "I really can't imagine that our young patriarch of Yiqu has actually learned to compose poetry." ”
Thorin pursed his lips and said: "Do you follow the customs of the locals, we can't always ride horses and herd sheep, when it's okay, I often go to Wenluo to go around and ask for some knowledge." ”
Ying Zheng quipped: "It's good to learn more knowledge, but your poem is really not very good." ”
"That's it, generally this kind of poem, it is the old man who sells oil on the street who hums a few words to attract people to come to the oil." Qiang echoed.
Solin was convinced: "What's the matter with limericks, you should make a word card to take a look." ”
(In the Warring States period, the level of the Seven Laws was lower than that of the word card.) )
Qiang Yan said: "Now there is no such leisure and elegance, it is important to accompany the eldest brother to do things." ”
The three of them discussed it before they came, and they traveled in micro-service, and they were only commensurate with brothers.
"That's it." Thorin looked at Ying Zhengdao, "I said, big brother, how far is the place you are going?" ”
Ying Zheng took out a special map, looked at it and said, "It's not far away, there is still half a day away." ”
Before the words fell, I heard a noise in the forest to the north.
The three stood up alertly, looking in the direction.
About 150 zhang away, I saw that the branches of a tree were gently swinging.
Qiang said: "It can't be a big worm." ”
"Maybe it's really a fairy." Solin Road.
Ying Zheng packed his bags and said, "Yes, it's also a plague god, let's go, try not to do much." ”
The three of them strode forward quickly, quickly over the mountain, and then came to another mountain beam.
Looking back, the forest had long since stopped moving.
Just when a few people breathed a sigh of relief, they saw some small black dots appear from far and near, and as they approached, they also heard a subtle sound.
"Deceived Kangxi"
"Big brother, it seems to be a bee." Qiang said.
Thorin's eyes widened and he said, "It can't be for us, right?" ”
Ying Zheng said: "It's getting closer and closer, isn't it coming at us, can it still be passing by?" ”
"Run!"
The three brothers spread their legs and sped forward.
Ying Zheng has been insisting on taking Linggu Pill, and some of the potential of his body has long been stimulated, and the basalt fruit that he eats in Jiuyou is also very beneficial, and now whether it is strength or speed, even endurance is much higher than ordinary people.
It's just that as an emperor, he usually doesn't need to do anything, and there are always people around to protect him, so even he can't notice anything.
When the sense of crisis came, he ran wildly, and the bouncing of his legs and feet and the coordination of his body were obviously much stronger than before.
In a few moments, the two brothers were left behind.
I was stunned by Thorin and Qiang.
Anyway, we have also trained with the Tiger Ben Army for more than half a year, and you pampered King Qin is too disrespectful of our profession.
Ying Zheng, who was running in front, was unconscious, he didn't look back, and shouted directly: "When we encounter a bee colony, we want to find a water source, we may have pollen stuck to our bodies, and if we get wet, we won't follow." ”
The two people behind answered, speeding up, and the swarm of bees also chased after them.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, but the bee colony was unhindered, and the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened.
Coincidentally, after crossing a small mountain range, I saw a small river at the bottom of the valley, and I could faintly hear the sound of running water.
"Let's go, wade across the river." Ying Zheng glanced back at the bee colony and rushed to the bottom.
The two brothers followed.
But just when the river was close at hand, I only heard a few "whoosh, whoosh" sounds, and several arrow feathers shot from the forest on the other side of the river!
Ying Zheng subconsciously jumped up, a somersault, and dodged those arrows, but when there was nowhere to focus in the air, another cold arrow galloped in, and the speed seemed to be faster.
Ying Zheng couldn't avoid it, and said in his heart: It's not good!
When life and death were at stake, I saw a saber flying from behind, which just hit the arrow feather, and the next moment, Ying Zheng fell into the river.
It turned out that when he saw the bee colony, he felt strange, and he held the sword in his hand early to prevent the danger that might come at any time.
Ying Zheng was mostly wet, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he flew towards the two brothers, and then hid behind a tree.
However, the swarm of bees has arrived, and they pounced on the three of them.
Ying Zheng pulled out the Xuanyuan sword, cut off the placket of his clothes, and threw it to Solin and Qiang: "Cover your head and face with this wet placket." ”
The three of them did so, then took out their outfits and kept whipping the swarm, waving them while paying attention to the cold arrows fired from the opposite side.
"Big brother, it looks like you've fallen into a trap." Qiang said urgently, "Someone must be ambushing us here." ”
"I don't know if it's a bandit or an assassin." Ying Zheng gradually calmed down, "Few people know our whereabouts, could it be that we are all trying to kill people for money?" ”
Qiang lost his sword in his hand, so he took out his crossbow, shot two arrows at the opposite side, and said, "Look at the number of roads, according to common sense, mountain bandits will not use this kind of trick." ”
Ying Zheng's heart sank, you must know that the mountain bandit is still good to answer correctly, if someone deliberately assassinates, the number of the other party may be immeasurable, and he may keep his back hand.
"You have to think of a way, you can't always consume it like this, there may be a group of people in the direction of the bee swarm coming from behind." Thorin also shot two arrows and followed.
Ying Zheng peeked at the small river and saw it meandering forward, turning a corner at the foot of the mountain not far away.
"Don't get out of the woods, go along the river." Ying Zheng pointed and said, "Let's get my clothes wet and get rid of the swarm first." ”
"Okay, that's it." "I suspect that those people deliberately sprinkled some pollen or spices on the mountain road, and the smell was all on their feet. ”
The three of them made up their minds, and went downstream along the mountain forest at the bottom of the valley and in the direction of the river.
Sure enough, there was movement in the forest on the opposite side, and I saw more than a dozen figures also walking forward along the river bank, and a few arrow feathers were shot from time to time.
"Damn, when you get rid of this swarm, let these cubs have a good taste of grandpa's knife skills." Thorin cursed as he stood on the outside of Yingzheng to ward off the arrows that could come at any moment.
When they finally reached that corner, the other party had no angle to shoot, and the three brothers jumped into the river, wetting their bodies all over their bodies, and then burrowed into the mountains and forests on the opposite bank.
After running some distance, the swarm of bees stopped following, and the three of them hid in a depression to observe the movement behind.
"It's not an option." Qiang said in a low voice, "Let's ambush them too, now that the swarm is scattered, they don't know where we are." ”
"Okay, that's it." Ying Zheng immediately decided to fight back.
After a while, more than a dozen figures touched it.
The leader looked at the departing swarm and gestured to his men, and the assassins began to search.
Whizzing......
Three bolts shot out.
The first two teams each put down one person, and the third team went straight to the leader's front door.
The leader saw some ability, shrank his head to the side, and then took the longbow in his hand and shouted, "Hide." ”
The rest of the Assassins hid in place.
Another round of crossbow arrows followed, but they all missed.
Ying Zheng's side saw that they didn't show their heads, and they didn't shoot again.
The leader whispered to his deputy next to him: "Send a few people to wrap it up from both sides, and let's suppress it on the front." ”
The deputy nodded, and arranged for four people to outflank him from both sides.
Qiang Qian guessed the intention at a glance, and whispered to Ying Zheng: "It seems that they want to surround us, let's withdraw." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, waving at Saurin.
The three of them raised their hands and fired another feint arrow at the opposite side, and then quickly retreated.
When the leader saw this, he refused to give up, and hurriedly ordered the pursuit.
This group of assassins really had some way, and on the way to pursue, they took turns to shoot to ensure that there were always arrows flying towards the fleeing King Qin and his gang, but the distance was still a little far, and the flying arrows all fell behind their feet.
But what these assassins didn't expect was that King Qin, who was supposed to be pampered in the palace, how could his physical strength be so good? The speed of running in the mountain rock is also extremely fast, as are the two retinues behind him.
The distance between the two sides was widened little by little, and after turning the foot of a mountain, the figures of several people in front of them were gone.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, but the speed of the three did not slow down, and they ran towards the mountain beam in front of them again.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to climb the mountain beam, they suddenly shot several arrows in front of them.
The three brothers hurriedly dodged, but because there was no arrow in his hand, Qiang was unable to block for a while, and his arm was bruised.
"Brother, are you alright?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
Qiang pressed the wound and said, "It's not a big deal, scratch some flesh." ”
Thorin hurriedly removed the placket from his body and bandaged his wounds.
"It doesn't look good, there is an ambush in front, and there are pursuers in the back." Qiang Road.
Ying Zheng looked at the mountain beam and said in a low voice: "There is still a distance between the pursuers behind, if we can quickly solve the people in front, we can ambush them again." ”
Before the words fell, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and then two black shadows rose into the air, and three more figures were rapidly approaching behind.
Two blades sliced through the air and slashed towards Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng raised the Xuanyuan sword and swung it hard, and the next moment, the two long knives that were swung had been broken into two.
How could these two assassins have imagined that the golden sword in King Qin's hand would be so sharp, and they were stunned in an instant.
Thorin saw the opportunity and slashed one by one, resulting in two of them.
The three people in the back didn't seem to expect such a situation, and they panicked for a while.
Ying Zheng and Thorin saw that they were not many in number, so they simply attacked directly.
Although King Qin's skills are not first-class, after all, he has received strict training since he was a child, and it is still not a big problem to deal with ordinary soldiers.
Coupled with the advantage of his own physical functions and the advantage taken by the Xuanyuan Sword, it didn't take a few rounds to cooperate with Thorin to kill the two of them, and one of them was seriously injured and fell to the ground.
"Say, who are you?" Thorin asked, holding his sword against the man's throat.
The man pressed the wound in his abdomen with his hand, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he gasped for breath, but he smiled and said: "It seems that those Wei people are really useless, and they let you escape here, but you can't escape, I have already sent a signal, and the brothers have rushed here." ”
Ying Zheng snatched his saber and threw it at the Qiang in the back, then turned around and asked, "Tell me your plan, and I will spare you from death." ”
The man still smiled and said, "My wound, even if you spare it, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it." Right now, you're no different from me, you're all waiting to die on this rocky ridge. ”
With that, the man closed his eyes and said no more.
At this moment, I saw a group of people under the ridge, led by the leader who was chasing just now, and there were about forty people behind him.
Qiang Qi analyzed: "They probably gathered the group of people who released the bee colony, looking at the posture, they are about to attack." ”
In a fit of rage, Thorin stabbed the wounded man lying on the ground to death, and said, "Come on, fear what will happen to him." ”
"You can't be reckless." Qiang Qi hurriedly persuaded, "Didn't you hear it just now, they have arranged people from other mountains and are rushing here." ”
"Withdraw." Ying Zheng pulled up the Qiang stalk, took Solin and ran down the ridge.
