Chapter 22 A Narrow Road Encounter

?

A leader who 'touched' the two tigers rushed to them and shouted loudly, and hurriedly greeted them with a smiling face, bent down and saluted the two tigers and said: "Hui Yu, the villains are businessmen who come and go between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu, and what they do on weekdays is nothing more than to transport silk and other things from the Central Plains to the Xiongnu in exchange for some animal skins, 'hair' or horses. This time we imported some goods from the Central Plains to transport them to the Xiongnu, and halfway heard that the Xiongnu Dadan Yuxin had lost the battle, so we turned to the east. I happened to meet the military masters on the road, and the villain thought that if he followed the army, the robbers would not dare to 'disturb', and he would be disturbed, and he asked the military master to forgive me! ”

The second tiger glanced at the leader, didn't say anything, and ran back towards Xiang Ye and them. He didn't notice that as he spun his horse, a hint of banter flashed in the leader's eyes, a kind of banter when a predator looked at his prey.

Xiang Ye didn't say anything after listening to Erhu's reply, and continued to walk east with the guards.

Just as they were about to reach the territory of the Fox Wolf King, the caravan that had been falling behind them suddenly sped up and overtook them.

When the caravan passed by them, Xiang Ye's brows furrowed, and his hand involuntarily pressed on the hilt of his sword.

Xiang Ye raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance approaching them quickly. It was a piece of smoke and dust raised by the cavalry when it was running fast, and it didn't take long for Xiang Ye to see the figure of the Hun cavalry faintly emerging from the smoke.

The Hun cavalry galloped quickly, and when they were still thirty or fifty paces away from Xiang Ye and the others, the leading officer shouted to them: "Stop, stop, and be checked!" ”

Xiang Ye and the guards reined in their horses and waited for the group of cavalry to arrive before Xiang Ye said to the leading Hun officer: "We are the scout team of the Fox Wolf King, what is the matter with us stopping?" ”

The Hun officer frowned, rode around Xiang Ye and said, "You are the scout team of the Fox Wolf King?" Then why do you speak the language of the Central Plains? ”

"Aren't you speaking the language of the Central Plains?" Xiang Ye pursed his lips and said to the Hun officer: "Those of us who are scouts often encounter the army of the Central Plains, if we don't understand their language, how can we complete the task?" ”

The Hun officer nodded, waved his hand at Xiang Ye and said, "In that case, you can go, but I don't want to see you Fox Wolf King's soldiers running to our Zuoxian King's territory again!" ”

Xiang Ye hurriedly responded, beckoned to Erhu and the others and said, "Let's go!" ”

They were just about to ride their horses towards the territory of the Fox Wolf King, when they saw the group of merchants who had passed by them earlier 'draw' their short swords from under the goods and stopped in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, they are not scouts of the Fox Wolf King!" The leading merchant pointed at Xiang Ye with a sword in his hand, and said to the Hun officer: "He is none other than the monarch of the Xia Kingdom, if you capture him, you military masters will get the first credit!" ”

As soon as they heard that it was Xiang Ye who came here, the team of Hun soldiers hurriedly 'drawn' their scimitars and surrounded Xiang Ye and the others.

Xiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the merchant leader and asking coldly, "Who are you?" How do you know that we are not Huns? ”

The leader of the caravan sneered twice, and said to Xiang Ye: "King Xia, I'm afraid that what you did in Wuyuan has now reached the ears of the monarchs of various countries, and as for us, we just happened to bump into each other and watched a good show." As for who we are, I'm afraid you shouldn't have forgotten the Yanyun Assassin! ”

"Yanyun Assassin!" Xiang Ye smiled bitterly, mentioning this force, Xiang Ye really felt a little helpless, he killed a lot of Yanyun assassins at the beginning, and then he forgot the existence of this force, but he didn't expect to meet here again, and as soon as they met, the other party created a big trouble for them.

"Master Jun, King Xia and our Yanyun assassin have a common enmity, today we will help you capture him, the credit is all yours, we just want one of his ears to go back to his life!" The leading Yan Yun assassin showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xiang Ye and said to the Hun officer.

The Hun officer held a scimitar in his hand, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and waved his hand to the Hun cavalry behind him and shouted: "Arrest them for me!" ”

With his order, dozens of Hun cavalry roared in unison and rushed towards Xiang Ye and the others.

Xiang Ye smiled coldly, turned over and jumped off the horse, 'touched' his waist with his right hand, and 'drawn' the long sword out, and waved it. The long sword drew a silver arc, slashing from the bottom to the top at the war horse under the crotch of the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front.

The Hun soldier saw the long sword slashing towards his horse, and hurriedly pulled the reins, but his movements were half a beat slower after all, and the war horse was just about to stop, and the long sword in Xiang Ye's hand had already slashed through its 'chest'.

A stream of hot horse blood spurted out, and the horse's legs weakened and fell to the ground. The Hun soldier also jumped off the horse's back at the same time as the war horse fell, and before his feet landed, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his waist.

What caught the eyes of the Hun soldiers was standing straight on the ground with a fart. The upper half of his body is separated from the lower half of his body. The incision that had been split was very flat, perhaps because the person who shot it was so fast that the internal organs in his body didn't even have time to gush out.

"Peng!" With a muffled sound, the Hun soldier who was cut off by Xiang Ye's sword fell to the ground, his body was turned upside down under the reaction force of the ground, and the intestines of the white 'flower' and 'flower' flowed out of the cavity and dripped.

Killing a Hun soldier, Xiang Ye's movements in his hand did not stop, he pulled his long sword and stabbed straight towards the waist of another Hun cavalryman.

Xiang Ye began to move, and Erhu and the others naturally would not watch the battle from the sidelines, but these people practiced swordsmanship, and fighting on horses would be somewhat limited. Xiang Ye's guards jumped off their horses one after another, rushed towards the Hun cavalry, and fought with them.

The Yanyun assassin on the side saw Xiang Ye and the others fighting with the Huns, and knew that if he missed the opportunity to join forces with the Huns in front of him, he would probably never have a chance to kill Xiang Ye again, so he hurriedly rushed over with his weapons.

On the vast grassland, more than 100 people were 'mixed' together, and less than 20 people wearing Hun armor held long swords and 'interspersed' back and forth among more than 100 Huns and people wearing civilian clothes.

These twenty or so people were all agile, and every time they stabbed a sword, a Hun or a man dressed in civilian clothes fell to the ground.

"Be careful, King!" Xiang Ye slashed over an oncoming Hun cavalryman with a sword, and was about to swing his sword to slash at another Hun when the shouts of the two tigers suddenly came from behind him.

He hurriedly turned his head, only to see Erhu standing uprightly with his back to him, and in front of Erhu were two Yanyun assassins with short swords.

The short swords in the hands of the two swordsmen were divided into two sides, one left and one right, and pierced into the 'chest' of the two tigers, Xiang Ye opened his round eyes and looked at the two tigers who were stabbed by the short sword in amazement.

Since following him, Erhu has been practicing swordsmanship diligently, and ordinary swordsmen are no longer his opponents. Just now, he saw that these two Yanyun assassins were about to sneak attack Xiang Ye, and he was stabbed only after standing in the back of Xiang Ye, if it wasn't for protecting Xiang Ye, these two Yanyun assassins would have no chance to kill him at all.

Xiang Ye looked at the back of the second tiger, the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and after a while, he roared angrily, and rushed towards the two Yanyun assassins who had stabbed the second tiger to death and the short sword had not had time to pull out.

The two Yanyun assassins saw that they hadn't stabbed Xiang Ye, and were about to draw their swords, but a light suddenly lit up in front of them, and then they only felt a pain in their eyes, and then they lost consciousness.

The long sword in Xiang Ye's hand pointed diagonally at the ground, and the body of the second tiger leaned straight in the crook of his arm, in order to protect Xiang Ye, he even held on to prevent his body from going limp when he was dying.

The battle continued, and the guards fought hard against the Huns and Yanyun assassins, while Xiang Ye stood in the middle of the battle group with the body of the two tigers in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Xiang Ye suddenly raised his head and screamed wildly, put down the body of the second tiger, and rushed towards the Huns and Yanyun assassins with his sword.

When the two Hun cavalry saw him rushing over, they hurriedly rode their horses to meet him. When they were very close to Xiang Ye, not only did they not stop the war horse, but instead accelerated the speed of the war horse, wanting to knock Xiang Ye over with the impact of the war horse's galloping wild.

Xiang Ye didn't care how they calculated, after approaching the two Hun cavalrymen, the long sword in his hand suddenly flipped over, first stabbing to the left, and then suddenly changing to the right and stabbing a sword.

After he stabbed these two swords, the two Hun knights stopped along with their horses. It wasn't until Xiang Ye rushed between them that the bodies of the two slowly fell from their horses to the ground.

The Huns and Yanyun assassins were somewhat frightened when they saw Xiang Ye going crazy, but they still relied on the large number of people and wanted to wipe out Xiang Ye and his guards.

"Kill!" The leading Hun officer pointed at Xiang Ye with a scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly.

A large group of Huns and Yanyun assassins rushed towards Xiang Ye with his shout.

Xiang Ye, who was completely crazy, didn't care about how many enemies there were in front of him, he brandished his long sword and rushed towards these Huns and Yanyun assassins.

The severed arms and stumps flew in all directions, and with a scream, a corpse with a limb fell at Xiang Ye's feet.

The guards who followed behind Xiang Ye also became more and more courageous, and it didn't take much effort to make the Huns on the battlefield have been slaughtered, leaving only the leading officers and more than a dozen Yanyun assassins standing on a pile of corpses with shocked faces.

"Kill!" Xiang Ye walked towards the Yanyun assassin and the remaining Hun officer step by step, and when he was only more than ten steps away from them, the long sword in his hand pointed at them, and loudly ordered the surviving guards behind him to carry out the final killing. ~
