Chapter 468: Attacked
"Zu Mengxu, come here!" After a moment, Zhu Jiu had already adjusted his emotions, turned his head and called Loulan Prince Zu Mengxu to come forward and speak.
"Wait, Queen, this unsuccessful horse doesn't listen to this prince."
Zu Mengxu shouted behind her again, and such an unobtrusive appearance really made Zhu Jiu helpless.
She sighed and turned around, only to see Zu Mengxu on horseback twisting his body and staring at the horse who turned around.
The horse seemed to have more personality than he was, and stood still, no matter how he drove him, not only did not move, but also faintly retreated.
"What's the matter with you horse?" Zhu Jiu felt ominous but couldn't tell what was wrong, so he frowned at him and said, "Didn't you ride quite well before?"
"Who knows," Zu Mengxu smiled embarrassedly, "This is a thoroughbred horse brought by Prince Ben from Loulan, the most humane, and it has never been in today's situation when it was ridden before."
"Then you dismount and come over."
Zu Mengxu naturally refused, "I don't! It's just a stubborn horse, and this prince can't stop it."
Zhu Jiu saw that he was struggling to pull the reins, and even the silk flower on the horse's neck was about to be pulled to the ground by him.
In the face of such a him, Zhu Jiu suddenly felt powerful but couldn't use it, but felt that it was superfluous to talk to him again at this moment.
She shook her head and gave up the idea of letting him come over, so she rode her horse a few steps forward and said in a deep voice, "Gao Xin's matter, this palace will believe you. However, there are some things that this palace still has to remind you again, no matter how you behaved in front of this palace before, whether it was pretending to be ignorant and fearless, or secretly planning with ulterior motives, there is only one point, don't go too far, don't touch the bottom line of this palace."
Zu Mengxu pretended to be surprised, "How can the queen mother doubt the sincerity of this prince so much, I have neither the intention nor the ability to secretly stir up the situation, you have really wronged me."
"Shut up! Hongu is just kindly reminding you."
Zhu Jiu sighed helplessly, and was just about to ride his horse away from him, when suddenly a strong uneasiness arose from the bottom of his heart, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction where he felt the danger coming.
In just an instant, Zhu Jiu flew up and kicked Zu Mengxu on horseback to the ground with one kick, and she herself also fell behind Yangshan Xue.
"The Queen! Even if this prince is really offended, you can't be so rude. You ......"
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Zhu Jiu shouted angrily, and almost at the same time as she spoke, a dense rain of arrows shot like thunder.
"Look up to the snow and run!"
She was willing to sacrifice her horse, and before the rain of arrows came, she jerked her horse's back, urging the spiritual Yangshan Snow to dodge on her own.
At this moment, many black-clothed masked people rushed out of the forest not far away, all with dark crossbows tied to their wrists, and the sound of breaking the air resounded continuously for a while.
The guards behind the two took the lead in rushing forward, but those people were fierce and powerful, and after only one round of fighting, about ten guards fell off their horses, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Compared with the snow in Yangshan, the white horse under Zu Mengxu's crotch was not so lucky, and it fell down after a wail.
"Be careful!"
Zhu Jiu struggled to pull him and roll to the side, only to be able to dodge the huge body smashed down by the white horse.
"My foal......
"Shut up! Don't touch that horse, don't pull me if you want to die."
The indistinct arrows were densely inserted into the horse's corpse, and the faint blue light flickered, and at a glance, it was clear that the arrows were all quenched by people.
"You arranged that too?"
Zhu Jiu shouted in a low voice, and Zu Mengxu was also confused, and explained to her unwillingly: "Just to pull the queen mother's back, so, I found someone to ambush myself? Listen, is that possible?"
"Damn it!"
At the same time, the sound of killing suddenly erupted all around!
A large number of black-clothed masked people jumped out of thin air on the wasteland, some armed with dark crossbows, some armed with broad knives, and quietly rushed towards them.
"Protect the Queen!"
The only remaining guards shouted loudly, and rushed in front of Zhu Jiu and Zu Mengxu without fear of death.
Zhu Jiu took advantage of the situation to draw the short knife on the guard's waist, and waved his arm to shoot down several stray arrows that shot quickly.
And Zu Mengxu has been hiding behind her, with a blank expression on his face, and the appearance of a wrecked bag really makes people's teeth itch.
Zhu Jiu immediately became angry, and scolded in a low voice: "A prince of a dignified state, he doesn't even know martial arts?"
"Just because I'm a prince, I don't have to know martial arts," Zu Mengxu hid his body deeper behind Zhu Jiu before nodding hurriedly, "Queen Mother, you have to protect me!" After all, a generous and loyal ally like mine is hard to find."
"Rubbish!"
In the face of the enemy's fierce attack, Zhu Jiu had no time to get angry with him, so he turned sideways and kicked Zu Mengxu hard in the knee, forcing him to bow his head.
Hearing only the sound of "ouch", Zu Mengxu fell down in an instant, and coincidentally dodged a stray arrow coming from the door facing him.
"Get out of here!" Zhu Jiuqiang raised his spirits, and after talking to Zu Mengxu, he turned his head and ordered the only remaining guards, "Don't panic! The first few men followed me to meet the enemy, the middle few protected the prince's safety, and the last few were ready to break through and ask for help."
"Follow the Queen's orders."
After the guards agreed, they acted one by one according to Zhu Jiu's arrangement.
Zhu Jiu grasped the short blade tightly, and counterattacked fiercely while moving around, each attack was accompanied by the enemy's terrible screams, which can be described as a fatal case.
Even so, the gap in the number of people and horses on both sides was still too huge, and soon, there were less than ten guards left on Zhu Jiu's side, and all of them were injured, and there was almost no strength to face the battle in a hurry.
"Let's go, move fast!"
Zhu Jiu dragged Zu Mengxu and staggered away, and the direction he was traveling was the dense maple forest not far away.
Zu Mengxu ran out of breath, "Go...... Where are you going?"
"What the hell, retreat into the woods!"
At this moment, a black-clothed masked man flew over, and the sharp blade was almost aimed at the face of the ancestor Mengxu.
He couldn't help but scream, but Zhu Jiu moved quickly, suddenly turned around and flew up and kicked heavily on that person, and the terrible screams instantly resounded in Zu Mengxu's ears.
However, before the man could finish calling, Zhu Jiu resolutely swung his knife and slashed his neck, directly cutting the man's throat.
Blood sprayed in an instant, splashing all over Zu Mengxu's face.
"Ahh
Zu Mengxu was shocked and almost collapsed to the ground, rubbing his hands on his face and body, trying to wipe off all the stains.
"Rubbish! When is it all about this?"
Zhu Jiuyi slapped his hand away, grabbed it and dragged Zu Mengxu, who had not yet returned to his soul, to rush into the maple forest.
The crossbow arrows shot behind him were instantly blocked by the branches and leaves of the maple tree, and only a few arrows penetrated through them, but the force was already very different from before.
Seeing this, those enemies immediately gave up using the dark crossbow attack, and instead drew their swords and rushed into the maple forest behind the two of them.
