Chapter 0148 - Coming Strongly
"Da ...", the dust of the horse was flying, the saddle fell to the ground, and I hated to be powerless to hold the reins of the horse.
On the broad avenue, the young man was tired and weak, his whole body was sore and painful, his hands and feet were blistered, his handsome face was pale and pale, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and there were strands of long hair sticking to his forehead, which flew from time to time in the sun, and his dry throat squirmed a few times, but he did not dare to spend a moment drinking water to quench his thirst.
The four horses followed him at a distance, unabated, and the distance between them and him grew closer and closer, and the men sitting on the backs of these fierce horses also showed a hint of fatigue, but not as unbearable as the youth.
"Qingyang Pass is not far away! as long as you get there, it will be safe for the time being!" the young man bit his lip tightly, and a trace of blood spread in his mouth, making his spirit slightly sober.
The people chasing and killing behind also looked more and more solemn.
The middle-aged man at the head had a gloomy face, and said loudly to the three people around him: "Speed up! Don't let this kid escape into Qingyang Pass, where the family of the Flying Eagle General Yue Shengtao is located, do you understand?!"
"No!" the three of them understood the importance of the matter, and slapped their horses violently, "Drive... Drive..."
The horses in front of and behind are less than 500 meters apart, and under the strength of the four people behind, this distance is getting shorter and shorter at a slow speed, and the horses in front and behind are getting closer and closer, and the middle-aged man at the head also showed a ruthless smile on his face, this smile is getting thicker and thicker, and he understands that as long as there is no accident, this kid will not be able to escape.
"Boy, accept your fate, you don't want to escape!" pursued again for about half an hour, and when the sun rose high, they were only close to catching up with the young man in front.
"Why, it's just a little, it's just a little! Ten miles, only ten miles! Why can't you even leave this last bit of time for me!" The young man only felt a deep sense of powerlessness all over his body, "Father, mother, grandfather, please forgive the child, the child can no longer avenge the He family!"
There was a hint of determination in his eyes, and when the horse galloped out about a mile or so again, the young man was finally overtaken by those behind.
Pulling back the reins of the horse suddenly, the young man and the fierce horse stopped at the same time as the fierce horse's scream, and the horse's head turned around, looking at a middle-aged man and three old men behind him with hatred.
"I said, you can't escape!" the middle-aged man said in a cold tone, "Even if you escape here, you will only die!" All the people of the Xiao family, whether they are women and children, old and young, descendants or concubines, will die!"
The young man looked at the four of them coldly and did not speak.
The middle-aged man continued: "I heard that you are a genius who has not been born in the border city for many years, and you are the hope of the rise of the Xiao family, hehe, my favorite thing to do is to destroy geniuses, it seems that this time, another genius will die in my hands, I don't know if this is my honor, or your honor?"
"Don't talk nonsense, kill if you want to kill, when have I Xiao He been afraid?" the young man snorted coldly.
"Tsk, it's a hard bone, but no matter how hard your temper is, in the end, you will inevitably die!" The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed and became extremely cold, "Since you are in a hurry to seek death, then, I will fulfill you!"
In the distance, a luxurious carriage was galloping at high speed, the shadow of the car was getting clearer and clearer, and the sound of galloping was getting louder and louder, attracting their eyes to the past.
However, when they turned their heads, they couldn't help but change their faces in unison.
Where is the sound of the carriage, this is simply the huge sound caused by a group of horses galloping, but at the beginning, the galloping figure of the carriage obscured the group of horses behind, until it got closer and closer, the figure of this group of horses was revealed.
On the back of this group of horses sat soldiers in armor, including lieutenants and generals, as well as many ordinary soldiers, but the murderous aura exuded from this group of people proved that their hands had been stained with countless blood, a rush of blood, with the approach of this group of fierce horses, and the impact, just this momentum like thousands of troops, the middle-aged four and the young man sat down on the fierce horses were frightened to turn in place, not controlled by them at all.
"Who could it be?" the middle-aged man's face was solemn, "This formation, I'm afraid only the great general Yue Shengtao has the ability to do it!"
It's a pity that he hasn't seen Yue Shengtao, he has only heard of such a person, and knows some things about Yue Shengtao, when Yue Shengtao really comes to him, he may not be able to recognize it.
The carriage and the group of horses galloped past them, but for some reason the carriage came to a sudden stop, and the curtain was gently opened, and a young man poked his head out and looked at him suspiciously.
The middle-aged man's heart jumped involuntarily, and an uneasy emotion instantly grew in his heart.
The carriage stopped, and the horses behind it also stopped, and ten of the horses continued to move forward, and when they came to the place where the carriage stopped, a calm middle-aged man came to the window and asked softly, "General, is there something wrong?"
They were relatively far away, therefore, the middle-aged four and the young man did not hear clearly, and they did not have the courage to use their strength to eavesdrop, after all, the other party was not something he could afford to provoke, just looking at the standard general's armor was enough for him not to dare to have any careful thoughts, not to mention that in the carriage, there seemed to be a more noble person sitting.
At this time, the young man also turned his head suspiciously, and happened to see half of the head poking out of the carriage, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of extreme surprise.
"It's you!" almost subconsciously, the young man shouted, "Help! Young Master Yi, please save our Xiao family!"
Just this sentence has already explained his situation at this time, and when he said this, he also pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and his whole body was moistened by the rain, and he poured out a lot of strength again, and the horse also galloped towards the place where the carriage was.
"General Yue, go, save that young man, and the rest of the people will also be arrested for me. Without hesitation, the young man in the carriage gave the order, "This man is my friend, you should know what to do, right?"
It's all said so clearly, if you don't know what to do, then Yue Shengtao is really a fool.
The story has developed to this point, and the identities of everyone have all surfaced, this young man is none other than Yi Chen, who came all the way from Taji City, stayed in Qingyang Pass for a while, did not rest again, and set off non-stop, just on the vast plain outside Qingyang Pass, he met an old man.
This old man, that is, the young man, happened to be Xiao He who fled from the border city!
"Friend, we have no grievances and no hatred, why do you want to obstruct us from doing things?" The leader who chased and killed Xiao He said in a deep voice: "You must know, this is Qingyang Pass, my family has an old relationship with General Yue Shengtao, although you are a general, don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with!"
Naturally, this statement cannot be true, in fact, this leader is about to cry in his heart, he never thought that at this critical moment, he would kill a general, and, it seems, the other party's cultivation is far beyond his own, and now, he can only make up a lie to scare and scare the other party, hoping that the other party can be temporarily confused.
However, when he heard his words, the other party was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Who is your adult?"
"My lord is the hereditary earl of Hot City, Lord Agni!" said the middle-aged man proudly.
At this time, a very strange smile appeared on the other party's face, and he said, "Then do you know who I am?"
The leader was stunned, followed the other party's words, and asked softly, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?"
"Hehe, I'm General Yue Shengtao in your mouth!" the other party said in an indescribably strange tone: "But, why don't I remember when I met the so-called Earl of Fire, is there another me on this continent?"
"What... What, you, you are Yue... General Yue Shengtao!" The leader was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popped out, his mouth opened wide, and he was about to swallow a goose egg, "Isn't General Yue Shengtao in Taji City, why, why is he here!"
"Who said I had to stay in Taji City?" Yue Shengtao said lightly: "I was ordered to follow General Yi and become the general of the newly formed legion and create a new legion. As for the rest, you should think about your situation first. Now, do you want to tie it up yourself, or do you wait for me to do it myself and choose for myself?"
The four of them looked at each other, looking bitter and depressed, no one could have imagined that they would encounter such a thing, seeing that they were about to catch the target person, they would be able to complete the task, and they would be able to receive a rich reward when they went back, but ...... Shrugging their heads, they consciously got off their horses and walked towards the carriage step by step, while Yue Shengtao stood aside to prevent them from escaping.
They were still in charge of other people's fate, but now they are being controlled by others in their own lives, and, it seems, there is not much chance of survival, their luck is really bad enough, sooner or later, they will not encounter such a thing, but at this critical moment, God's will is like this, what can they do?
"Young Master Yi!" Xiao He still didn't dare to be sure that this majestic young man was the genius Yi Chen who had been forced to go to another country, and there was a trace of hesitation and uncertainty in his tone.
After all, Yi Chen's complexion is much fairer, his facial features have changed slightly, he is more handsome, more durable, and wearing a set of long shirts, he looks like a beautiful boy, a noble young man, and he has changed greatly from three months ago.
What's more, Xiao He is now unable to see through Yi Chen's cultivation, you must know that three months ago, Yi Chen's cultivation was a talented swordsman, but after only three months, he has grown to a realm that he can't even see, no wonder he is a little uncertain.
"Xiao He, the genius of the Xiao family, I haven't seen you for a long time. Yi Chen smiled, "There is not much difference in age between you and me, I'll call you Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, what's going on with these people?"
At the mention of this, Xiao He suddenly reacted and said eagerly: "Young Master Yi, hurry, take me back to the border city." Grandpa, grandpa, he was covered in poison and broke out, and now our Xiao family is facing the siege of several major families, and if it is one step later, the entire Xiao family will perish!"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Yi Chen was surprised, but he still immediately gave an order to everyone, "Pass my order, the whole army will march out, and arrive at the destination as quickly as possible, the border city!"
"No!" said more than 500 people in unison, and then everyone got on their horses and galloped out at a faster speed.
And the four poor people who chased and killed Xiao He were stuffed into the carriage and faced Xiao He's revenge aggrievedly.
