Chapter 16: The Bloody Battle by the River

Two days after Pei Zheng arranged for people to part ways with the horses, the mission had a safe journey and did not encounter any ambush or pursuit.

I don't know if it's because the people who planned the chase were really disturbed by the departing scouts, or because they were just unable to arrange manpower in the past two days.

Whatever the reason, the mission was given two days to breathe, and the wounded gradually recovered, while the fatigue of the rest of the men from the fighting disappeared during these two days.

Among the escorts of the mission, there were optimists who even felt that they were out of danger.

According to Sangou's return, Pei Zheng silently drew a circle on the map marked with the location of Xinhe Town.

After crossing the river fifteen miles ahead, the distance was a third of the way.

Fortunately, there was no snow in the past two days, and the speed and time of the carriage were much faster than before.

The only thing that worries people is that they don't know what kind of terrifying murder is brewing in the dark of the pursuers behind the scenes.

After walking for more than half an hour, the mission stopped in front of the frozen river.

The reason is simple, there are two people standing on the river.

One wears a hat and holds a spear, and the other wears a cloak and carries a sword.

Hundreds of meters away, Pei Zheng could feel the awe-inspiring killing intent and extraordinary strength coming from the two of them.

"Wait here, and do not leave the vicinity of the carriage without the command of the general. ”

Lin Xing explained, rode forward, and asked with a slight jealousy on his face: "Lin Xing, the general of the Praetorian Guard, who is in front of him, why is he blocking the road?"

The gunman replied in a low voice: "Zhang Yi, the blood-drinking gun, has seen General Lin." ”

The sword-bearer replied with a smile: "Li Kang, the master of the mountain village, has seen General Lin. ”

The two said in unison: "I came to take the life of the Hu people's cubs." ”

Lin Xing's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he squinted his eyes slightly and said: "There are no Hu people here, some are just the princes of the grassland who belong to the Great Xia Imperial Court, are the two righteous men mistaken?"

The two said in unison again: "The Hu people who belong to the court are still Hu people's cubs, and they should also be damned." ”

Lin Xing's eyes showed a hint of cold murderous intent, and he forcibly pressed it and said: "How to deal with the Hu people's court has its own decision, as the two of you are the people of Great Xia, why should you have trouble with the court?"

"It is very difficult to read the two of them to cultivate to the dantian realm, if they retreat like this, they will only act as if nothing happened, and they will not be investigated afterwards. ”

"If you don't retreat, once the imperial court investigates it, don't say that the two are just Dantian Realm, even the grandmasters of the Divine Mind Realm will not be able to escape death. ”

Martial artists practice the three realms of the body, forging bones, changing tendons, exchanging blood, practicing the three realms of qi, condensing acupoints, passing through the veins, and dantian.

As the sixth order of the martial arts realm, the dantian realm is already the number one master in the world.

Lin Xing, the general of the official four-rank Praetorian Guard, is no more than a martial artist in the dantian realm.

And the reason why Lin Xing would persuade him with good words instead of doing it directly was because he was not sure enough to defeat two martial artists of the same rank with one enemy and two enemies.

In addition to Lin Xing, a Dantian Realm martial artist, there was one Tongmai Realm, two Condensation Cave Realms and a group of Blood Exchange Realms among the envoys, all of whom were not necessarily the opponents of a Dantian Realm martial artist.

In the face of Lin Xing's persuasion, Zhang Yi, who claimed to be a blood-drinking gun, pointed his spear directly at each other: "The Tao is not the same, the general will either retreat and let me slaughter the Hu people's cubs, or fight a battle, which will divide both superiority and life and death." ”

Li Kang walked forward slowly with his sword, although his expression was calm and vigorous, he looked a little aggressive.

Seeing that the persuasion failed, Lin Xingchang sighed: "A beautiful woman, why is she a thief." Isn't it good to practice one's ability to serve the court? I have to seek my own death and fight against the court. ”

Before the words fell, the horse rushed towards the two, and the golden sound of the long sword unsheathed echoed in the heaven and earth, which was particularly pleasant.

Li Kang's eyes lit up and he shouted, "It's good to come." ”

Bent down and squatted, the sharp blade slashed at the horse under Lin Xing's seat.

Zhang Yiping, who was able to rush over, held a spear and stabbed Lin Xing in the chest.

One up and one down, the coordination is extremely ingenious.

Lin Xing jumped decisively, crossed over the heads of the two of them, and separated two sword lights, stabbing at the back of the hearts of the two of them.

The two turned back in time, slashed the sword light, and attacked Lin Xing with their own moves.

Lin Xing was not afraid, his breath flowed endlessly, and he fought with the two of them with his superb swordsmanship, and the sword light and gun shadow disappeared at a glance.

"It's a waste for a general to do this kind of cultivation, not to kill Hu people on the battlefield, but to protect Hu people's cubs. ”

Unable to take Lin Xing for a while and a half, Li Kang couldn't help but say excitedly.

Lin Xing said with disdain on his face: "I don't care about killing people and protecting people, if you want to listen to the court, how can you wait for thieves to be influenced?"

This sentence angered Li Kang, and he only heard him shout: "Brother Zhang, I'll entangle him, you go and kill Hu Ren's cub first." ”

As soon as Zhang Yi heard the reason, he immediately retreated, and instead rushed to the place where the carriage was.

How could Lin Xing make the two of them wishful, the chilling sword light shrouded Zhang Yi, who was not far away, and tried to stop him from attacking the mission.

However, Li Kang, who proposed this matter, was already prepared, stepped forward, and took the sword light as much as possible.

Lin Xing couldn't help but say angrily: "Thief, if you have the ability to come back and fight with the general, what kind of man is bullying a child?"

However, Zhang Yi didn't even reply, and turned a deaf ear to what Lin Xing said.

Zhang Yi, who rushed towards the carriage with great momentum, instantly attracted the attention of the embassy guards.

The second person in the guard, Ma Jun, who has the cultivation of the Tongmai Realm, immediately shouted: "Protect the prince of the grassland and Lord Wen, follow me." ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to rush to Zhang Yi with seven or eight people.

Zhang Yi sneered: "The mantis arm blocks the car, and it is not self-sufficient." ”

The spear was swung, several spear flowers appeared, and the two Blood Exchange Realm guards fell from their horses clutching their throats.

Although Ma Jun was not killed in seconds, he was thrown out.

After two deaths and one injury, the attack of the remaining few people reached Zhang Yi's body, but he easily avoided it.

Then the spear swept away, and the remaining few men fell from their horses to the ground, either dead or wounded.

The rest of the people were dead in front of the carriage, with a look of despair on their faces, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack Zhang Yi.

In just a few breaths, Zhang Yi crushed the resistance of the embassy guards with an invincible attitude.

Pei Zheng, who witnessed this scene, silently stayed away from the carriage, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.

Zhang Yi took two steps forward and said indifferently: "Get out of the way, for the sake of the same Daxia man, I will spare you from dying." ”

At this time, the horse army that was drawn away arrived again, and the long knife turned into a horse and fell fiercely towards Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi glanced at Ma Jun coldly, and a lightning shot hit Ma Jun in the chest.

"Click"

There was a cracking sound, and Ma Jun fell to the ground spitting blood.

He struggled to remember, and spit out blood one after another, but he couldn't get up.

"Why bother, isn't it good to give up resistance and save your own life?"

Zhang Yi sighed.

At this time, Li Kang's eager voice came from afar: "Brother Zhang, hurry up, junior brother can't stop it." ”

Zhang Yi instantly swept away his sigh, and his expression was resolute and stabbed at the first carriage, in which sat Wen Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Zheng covered his eyes and sighed secretly: "Damn, is the mission going to fail?"
