There was no one in the whole team, except for the carriage, which still seemed to be moving, and there was no one who could not help but feel nervous about the situation at the moment.

Ning Que in the hidden ranks of the people was even ready to leave immediately when he saw the opportunity.

There were no acquaintances in the entire team, and there were no Tang people, which meant that it was impossible for him to fight with his life in the face of nearly a thousand horse thieves.

Practitioners are also human beings.

Even if he revealed his identity as the thirteenth disciple of the academy and showed the cultivation strength of the Cave Xuan Realm, coupled with the world-famous bookworm, under the terrifying power gathered by nearly a thousand horse thieves, it would not play a role in turning the tide of the battle.

Moreover, he felt that this bookworm was really an idiot, in the face of such an enemy, she didn't ask for help, and she didn't make any preparations for retreat, where did her confidence come from?

She wasn't a rune master after all.

Or are these so-called geniuses in the cultivation world so arrogant?

In the carriage, Xu Chuan looked at Mo Shanshan, who still looked calm, and said, "Although you sent a message asking for help to the temple cavalry who is not far from us, you should know the style of the temple very well, and the dozen or so disciples of the Ink Pond Court plus a group of ants in their eyes are not worth their help at the risk of losing their troops."

Mo Shanshan was a little silent, she knew very well that this world was never as beautiful as she imagined, and the Xiling Temple was not as bright and majestic as they advertised.

Therefore, what Xu Chuan said is the idea of the leader of the Xiling Temple at this moment.

She looked at Xu Chuan, her sparse and long eyelashes blinked slightly, but she didn't seem to be worried about the situation at the moment.

In a soft tone, he said, "Xiling may be a cold watcher, but you're there, aren't you?"

Xu Chuan looked at her seriously and said, "I can make a move, but the consequences of my shot may be even more serious than you think."

In addition to being hostile to Xiling and provoking the Hanging Temple, he also has the identity of a new Demon Sect Master.

Although this identity has not been revealed, there is not much time to hide it.

When the Demon Sect Mountain Gate is reopened, the world will know about it.

Then today's Mo Shanshan collusion with the Demon Sect Sect Master to fight against the horse thieves will have extremely serious consequences for Mochi Yuan and even the Great River Country.

In Xiling's eyes, you can die, but you can't collude with the Demon Sect for the sake of life.

This is an unshakable iron law.

Mo Shanshan was silent for a long time, looking at Xu Chuan with wooden eyes, and his tone was a little resolute.

"At least you have to live to worry about what happens next."

Xu Chuan just wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed something, and said with a smile: "There's no need to be so pessimistic, there is a good thug hiding in the team, you can't let him run."

At the edge of the camp, Ning Que, who was taking care of the horses, was about to smear the soles of his feet with oil and slip away, when he was suddenly blocked by a person.

"The enemy is coming, where are you going, little brother?"

A voice came, instantly making Ning Que's figure stiffen slightly.

But then he was shocked.

Because the sound seems a little too familiar.

"Brother Xu?"

He shouted as he looked up.

However, the face of the person in front of him was very different from the person he imagined. ….

Immediately, his expression froze.

Soon, however, he was relieved.

Because judging from the other party's demeanor and demeanor, it is clear that it is Xu Chuan, and the change in appearance may be due to the exercises.

Xu Chuan smiled, and did not deny his identity, he just said, "Now my name is Fan Xian, don't call me wrong next time, do you still run now?"

Ning Que touched his head and said, "Brother Xu, ah, Senior Brother Fan is here, I don't have to worry about it, it's just a thousand horse thieves."

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "If it weren't necessary, I wouldn't make a move." As he spoke, he said to Mo Shanshan, who was walking slowly beside him, "Let me introduce you, the new disciple on the second floor of the academy, Ning Que."

Mo Shanshan's eyes were slightly surprised, and he said in a calm tone, "I've seen Mr. Thirteen."

Master's disciple, this identity alone is enough to give her some respect, but that's all.

As a disciple on the second floor of the academy, he hid in this team, and wanted to run away when he saw that the situation was not good, maybe he was not obligated to help them fight those horse thieves, but from her position, she naturally would not have any good feelings about this kind of behavior.

Ning Que was slightly embarrassed, but soon said very naturally: "I've seen Lord Moshan, but I really don't dare to be the head of Mr., just call me Ning Que."

Mo Shanshan nodded flatly, and said no more.

Xu Chuan spoke: "Ning Que, you are already a cave after all, if you cooperate properly with Shanshan, even this number of horse thieves may not be unstoppable, of course, if there are other circumstances, I will not sit idly by."

Ning Que slowly let out a sigh and said, "If Mr. has something to say, I will naturally not disobey, not to mention that with Mr. here, I naturally have nothing to worry about."

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile, then looked at the shadowy horse thief in the distance and said, "You should also be puzzled, what is the force behind the horse thief who can afford to raise such a large horse thief in the wasteland."

Ning Que nodded and said, "That's true, I know the situation of the horse thieves very well, in my opinion, this number of horse thieves is either from the Zuo Tent Royal Court or from the Yan Kingdom, but our trip is to escort grain and grass, and we are going to negotiate peace, no matter which side it stands to reason, it should not be against us."

Xu Chuan smiled and said meaningfully, "There are not only the Left Tent Royal Court and the Yan Kingdom on the grassland, do you remember the attack on the Beishan Dao?"

Ning Que was shocked, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. mean Xiahou?"

His expression changed several times, and he quickly figured out the joints.

If these horse thieves belong to Xiahou, then many things have a reasonable explanation.

And the purpose of Xiahou's trip is also obvious, that is, to take his life.

Therefore, it was never him who affected Chiyu, but Mochiyuan and this grain transportation team of more than 100 people.

Soon, it occurred to him that only the military department knew his whereabouts.

In an instant, a chill swelled up in my heart.

Although he is a disciple of the master and the thirteenth gentleman on the second floor of the academy, in the military department, Xiahou's power is the real towering tree.

At this time, there was a quarrel between Zhu Zhihua and the generals of the Yan army not far away.

The generals of the Yan army wanted to lead their troops to escape, but Zhu Zhihua was unwilling to leave behind the more than 100 Yan people's husbands. ….

Faced with Zhu Zhihua questioning him about whether he cared about the life or death of the people of Yan Kingdom, the general of the Yan army asked sharply, "Who cares if we live or die?"

With that, he called his cronies to assemble the team and prepare to quickly break through.

Knowing that he was about to be abandoned, Yan Guofu instantly cried in panic, and Zhu Zhihua took the disciples of Mochi Yuan to stop in front of the Yan army general, and an infighting was about to break out.

Not far away, Ning Que looked at this scene and frowned, since he decided to stay, the strength of these two hundred Yan Cavalry naturally could not be ignored, so he was ready to stop this matter before the infighting broke out.

However, before he could make a move, the heavens and the earth suddenly became hot.

A talisman condensed out.

It's a fire charm.

The blazing flames enveloped the Yan army general in an instant, turning him into a burning man.

The mournful wail sounded for a few breaths, and then fell silent.

For a moment, except for the sound of flames snorting in the air, the entire camp fell into an eerie silence.

A few steps forward on Moshan Mountain, a cold voice with a little indifference came out of her mouth, resounding throughout the camp.

"The enemy is now, those who disturb the hearts of the army, punish!"

All the restlessness, all the restlessness, burned out in this fire talisman.

Even the cronies of the Yan army general were silent at the moment, and they didn't dare to make the slightest move.

Countless eyes looked at Mo Shanshan, who was shrouded in a veil, and finally realized the prestige of the bookworm for the first time.

Behind him, Ning Que looked at Mo Shanshan's straight and thin back, and his heart was a little touched, he didn't expect that a girl of this age would have such decisive means and mind.

On the side, Xu Chuan's eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction.

Applying what she has learned, the bookworm is really a woman who is extremely smart.

......

A turmoil subsided, and Ning Que and Zhu Zhihua jointly took over the layout of the entire camp.

At the edge of the camp, Mo Shanshan was still wearing that thin white dress, the blue belt around his waist was like a deep lake, and his black hair was scattered like a waterfall softly behind him, looking a little thin and a little indescribably tough.

Xu Chuan stood beside her quietly, also dressed in white, with a tall posture, and seemed to always exude a leisurely and calm atmosphere.

The two stand side by side, like the legendary fairy couple, and they are extremely harmonious.

Mo Shanshan tore off the hat covered with white gauze on his head, revealing a pair of straight and diffuse eyes, looking a little cold and indifferent, but Xu Chuan clearly saw a bit of weakness and unbearability.

He whispered, "Killing him will allow more people to live, and you are not doing anything wrong."

Mo Shanshan said calmly, "I know that what I did may be the most correct choice at that time, but if I was strong enough, he could have actually not died."

Xu Chuan smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, rubbing her soft hair into a mess, and making her cold breath a little more messy.

"You always take all the blame on yourself, the reason why he will die is nothing more than because he is weak and stupid, if he knows his fate, he can stay at will, or even turn the tide, if he is a smart person, he will not choose to part ways without absolute strength, so the blame is on him, not on you." ….

In the distance, Tmall Girl and Ji Zhihua quietly looked at this side with a vague gaze, and when they saw Xu Chuan stretching out his hand to rub their mountain master's head, their faces were full of shock and strangeness.

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time for some reason.

On the other side, Mo Shanshan glanced at Xu Chuan angrily, straightened out his messy hair, and said a little angrily, "I'm not a child, don't do this next time."

Fang Cai's melancholy has long disappeared at this moment.

Xu Chuan laughed, looked at Mo Shanshan's cute expression of annoyance, and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know."

......

The team set off again, a little more rigorous and stable than the previous casualness.

At least, the existence of Moshan Mountain gave them hope to live.

The horse thief seemed to have been waiting for something, and had not attacked for several days.

Until this day, the team entered a rare low-lying area in the wasteland.

The so-called low-lying area is because the meadows on the left and right sides are raised and stretched, and the left and right sides are shaded like a mountain valley in the south, and only the front and rear roads are passable.

In such terrain, it is difficult for the whole team to be scattered and escape, after all, there are only two ways, but it also means that those horse thieves can only attack them from two directions.

So, instead of moving on, the team set up a defensive position on the spot.

And it will be their last peaceful night.

Because the man in charge of the group of horse thieves has arrived, and has already decided to attack in the early morning.

This is a decisive battle place chosen by both sides.

Ning Que was already sleeping very deeply at the moment, because there was a strong man in the team who could defeat his second senior brother and defeat Liu Bai.

In front of such a strong man, more than a thousand horse thieves are nothing at all.

And there is such a strong man, who has already regarded the battle of completely tomorrow as a summary and display of his practice.

In the carriage, Mo Shanshan was half leaning on Xu Chuan's shoulder, as if this would make her feel much more at ease.

Xu Chuan held her cold hand in the palm of his hand and said softly, "Sleep, don't worry."

"Hmm." Mo Shanshan closed his eyes

, let out an imperceptible nasal sound, and after a few moments, the breathing gradually became much longer.

......

Finally, sometime in the early hours of the morning, the people in the camp quickly woke up from their sleep at the exclamation of the sentry, and then they were greeted by a rain of arrows turned into hundreds of feathered arrows.

The people of the grain transportation team quickly hid behind the cart board that had already been erected, and more than a dozen disciples of Mochi Yuan drew their swords to block it, and more than two hundred Yan cavalry also held simple round shields to block a lot of arrows.

Occasionally, when someone is about to shoot an arrow, it will inexplicably deflect under the influence of a strange force.

As a result, after a wave of raids, although the entire camp was a little embarrassed, there were no casualties.

Ning Que had already mounted his horse, gathered all the Yan horses, and went around to the top of the meadow and directly charged.

In the other direction, more than a dozen disciples of Mochi Yuan were also led by Zhu Zhihua, and more than 100 Yan Guofu were guarding the front of the formation.

In the carriage, Xu Chuan held Mo Shanshan's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, now is not the time for you to make a move." ….

Mo Shanshan felt the temperature on his hands, and some nervous feelings quickly calmed down.

At this moment, seven or eight hundred of the nearly 1,000 horse thieves charged towards the camp.

However, the next moment, it was the person who turned on his back.

This is because this depression is an ancient river channel, and there are irregular potholes under the thin sediment.

Under the powerful momentum of the horse thief, he instantly broke through the thin sediment and fell into this naturally formed trap.

So, when dozens of horse thieves at the front fell because of broken legs, and the horse thieves in the rear were too fast to stop, a terrifying stampede occurred.

Blood and flesh were mixed together, and the scene was extremely bloody for a while.

At least more than 100 horse thieves suffered heavy casualties.

However, when the remaining horse thieves abandoned their horses and walked, the more than 600 horse thieves were still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

But at this moment, the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt.

Because Ning Que led more than two hundred Yan cavalry to bypass those natural traps and launched an attack from the rear of the horse thieves.

For a while, the horse thief's attack turned into a situation of being surrounded by the front and back.

Together, the battle is extremely tragic.

But if you look closely, almost all of the tragic ones are on the side of the horse thieves.

It's not that Ning Que or Zhu Hua are too strong, nor that the more than 200 Yan Qi and more than 100 people have been reborn, but whenever someone is in danger, there will be an imperceptible force to deviate from the danger.

Therefore, although some people were injured on the side of the grain transport team, so far, no one has died.

On the contrary, it was a horse thief, but in just a short tea time, more than 300 people died.

Once again, the scales of victory and defeat have shifted.

The seemingly unsolvable crisis seems to be eliminated in the blink of an eye.

But the next moment, after a brief retreat of the remaining horse thieves, they joined the remaining horse thieves and launched another attack.

Under their fearless attack, more and more people were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

As a result, even the disciples of Mochi Yuan gradually became a little powerless.

The consumption of strength and mental power made their sword-wielding hands more and more weak.

It was Ning Que, and at this moment, because of the high-intensity bow, the shoulder bone was faintly painful.

And just as the horse thieves were getting more and more ferocious, causing casualties in the camp to finally begin to appear, a wind blew.

Dozens of bags of hay flew up and burst in the air, leaving the sky littered with hay.

The next moment, an extremely dry smell permeated the sky over the entire camp, and a fiery and rich talisman ignited the hay all over the sky with a faint spark.

As a result, there was a rain of fire in the sky, and under the firelight, dozens of horse thieves who rushed to the front of the battle turned into charred corpses.

The rest of the horse thieves retreated in panic, and in the camp, countless seriously injured people and Yan Qi all let out a cheer for the rest of their lives.

It stands to reason that the horse thieves suffered such heavy injuries that the leader of the horse thieves would not continue to attack if he was wise.

However, the real danger is just emerging.

In the eyes of the people behind the scenes, these horse thieves have always been cheap consumables, and their value is to consume the mental power of Ning Que and the bookworm Mo Shanshan.

As long as these things are accomplished, the death of the horse thief is worthwhile, and it is a well-deserved death.

So, after a few moments, the remaining horse thieves regrouped under the strict orders of the leader, ready to launch a new attack.
