Chapter 364: The Night of Murder in the Dark of the Moon
In the vast territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, only the southern border is close to the Great Moon Kingdom.
On the southern border, there are two checkpoints, one is the Nanning Pass at the forefront of the front, which is the first point of the attack of the Great Moon Kingdom.
After passing the Nanning Pass, it is equivalent to entering the southern border of the Shenwu Kingdom.
The second level is the Jiayue Pass.
After the home month pass, you can directly take the imperial capital.
Jiayue Pass is the last checkpoint in the south, if it is broken through by the Great Moon Kingdom, then the army of the Great Moon Kingdom will go straight to the imperial capital.
At that time, there will be no strife, and if it is not handled well, the Shenwu Kingdom may be destroyed by the Great Moon Kingdom because of this.
Therefore, the current war situation in the south is not optimistic.
And now the army of the Great Moon Kingdom has broken through the Nanning Pass, and is rampage in the southern territory, massacring the city and plundering all kinds of cultivation resources.
This time the Great Moon Country went to the Shenwu Kingdom, which can be said to be the biggest war between the Shenwu Kingdom and the Great Moon Country in hundreds of years.
The distance from the Spirit Sword Sect to Jiayue Pass was not far.
After Lin Bai took a fast horse from the Spirit Sword Sect, it only took three days to reach Jiayue Pass.
The next night.
Lin Bai Yuma came to a dense forest.
"Calculating the distance, I should be able to reach Jiayueguan tomorrow morning. ”
Lin Bai looked at it and it was getting late.
The horses on the side galloped for two days in a row, and the consumption was also very large, and their faces were full of exhaustion.
Lin Bai smiled slightly and said, "Since you are tired, then let's rest for a while." ”
Lin Bai patted the horse's back and said lightly.
"I don't know what the situation of Jia Yueguan is. ”
Lin Bai said with some concern.
A fire was raised in the forest, and Lin Bai sat down, while the horse was already so tired that he fell to the ground, and fell asleep.
Lin Bai took out the letter written to him by the eldest princess Bai Xiaoxiao from the storage bag, especially when he saw the sentence "Lin Bai, I need you" on the third letter.
This sentence made Lin Bai feel that Bai Xiaoxiao should be in a desperate situation.
Otherwise, with Bai Xiaoxiao's strong temperament, she would never say such a thing.
"I'll be here right away. Lin Bai held the envelope and said firmly.
Rustle!
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of stamping leaves in the forest.
Lin Bai suddenly became alert, swept the wind in his palm, extinguished the fire in front of him, and stood up in an instant, looking at the dark forest.
Whoa!
At this time, sharp arrows broke through the air in the forest.
With a bang, a figure flew out of the darkness and landed at Lin Bai's feet.
This is a man dressed in black, he saw Lin Bai and shouted to Lin Bai: "Save me, just me!"
Lin Bai asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
The man in black said: "I am the Heavenly Wolf Legion of the Shenwu Kingdom, on the order of the eldest princess, I went to the imperial capital to ask for help, I don't want to be ambushed just after leaving Jiayueguan, we are a group of eight people, and now I am the only one left alive." ”
"You're calling for help. Lin Bai hurriedly helped this person up.
Shout!
Suddenly, an arrow flew out of the darkness and shot straight at the man's back.
Lin Bai's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly reached out and grabbed this sharp arrow in his hand.
"They want to kill me, and they won't let us go for help. Seeing Lin Bai grabbing the sharp arrow, the black-clothed man immediately exclaimed and said.
"Who are they?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"I don't know, I don't know, they seem to know where we are, and as soon as we move, they immediately notice it. The man in black said faintly.
"It's okay, you have a good rest here, I'll take a look. ”
Lin Bai helped the man in black up and leaned against the trunk of the tree.
Suddenly, Lin Bai's eyes looked into the dark forest.
"Sword Intent!"
Lin Bai's eyes closed, and suddenly the sword intent spread out, enveloping the entire forest.
The sword intent was attached to each leaf, allowing Lin Bai to clearly feel all the people lurking in the forest in the dark.
"There are a total of twenty-five people, all of whom are cultivators of the Heavenly Martial Realm. ”
"Hmph, I want to see who is going to intercept the eldest princess's messenger for help!"
Lin Bai stepped out and rushed into the dark forest.
The messenger for help hurriedly shouted to Lin Bai: "Young man, be careful, these people are not easy to deal with. ”
Brush!
Lin Bai rushed into the forest, and his speed immediately increased, like a fierce beast in the dark, looking for their prey!
"Strange, where did the kid go?"
Secretly, one of the attackers exclaimed in surprise, and he watched Lin Bai disappear from front of him.
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when he was extremely surprised, Lin Bai's indifferent voice sounded in his ears.
This person's complexion changed greatly, his eyes widened, and when he looked back violently, he happened to see Lin Bai's cold cheeks.
"Die!"
This person found Lin Bai, and immediately rushed out with a palm, slamming Lin Bai on the chest.
"Who are you, why did you assassinate the eldest princess's messenger for help?" Lin Bai asked coldly.
"Hmph, go to hell and ask Hades. This person sneered and blasted away at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai's eyes changed, and there was a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes.
A sword slashed down, and the sword light that penetrated the sky and the earth struck.
Knock the man out of the way and slam it into the tree.
"Say, who sent you?" Lin Bai asked, pressing the tip of his sword against this person's throat.
"Kill me, I won't say anything if I die. The man said stubbornly.
Lin Bai sneered and said, "I won't let you die so easily. ”
Immediately, Lin Bai walked in front of this person.
"What do you want to do?" exclaimed.
Lin Bai smiled coldly.
"Soul search!"
Lin Bai slashed down with a palm and pressed it on top of the attacker's head.
This person is a cultivator of the Heavenly Martial Realm, how can he be Lin Bai's opponent.
The soul search unfolded, and the memories in this person's mind flashed in front of Lin Bai's eyes in an instant.
Soon, Lin Bai found the person's identity information.
"Zhang Shui, under the command of the War Eagle of the Qi Family Army of the Shenwu Kingdom, is the tenth commander of the reconnaissance battalion!"
Lin Bai let go of the attacker and slashed his head away with a sword.
"Sure enough, it was the prince of Qi who was playing tricks, and all the messengers sent by the eldest princess to ask for help were assassinated, no wonder the eldest princess kept asking the imperial capital for help, but she failed to get any support. ”
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Lin Bai's mouth, and his eyes immediately swept over the entire forest, and there were still more than twenty attackers swimming.
Needless to say, these people should all be members of the Qi family's army.
"Since you are all members of the Qi family's army, then go and die. ”
Lin Bai's body method was like electricity, and it was quickly taught in the forest.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"Sir?"
Many of the attackers found that they had not heard Zhang Shui's instructions, and immediately exclaimed.
Poof!
Ahhhhh
At this time, a stream of cold sword light flashed from the dark forest, and then a miserable scream came.
The messenger for help watched the sword light in the forest continue to flash, and his face was also terrified.
After the film, Lin Bai slowly walked out of the darkness.
The messenger hurriedly asked, "Are you alright, Shaoxia, but what about the attackers?"
"Don't worry, it's all settled. ”
"Can you still ride a horse now?"
Lin Bai asked the messenger for help.
The messenger said: "No problem, even if I die, I will send a secret letter to the imperial capital, otherwise, once the Jiayue Pass is lost, the Shenwu Kingdom will be in danger." ”
Lin Bai said: "That's fine, you ride my horse to the imperial capital, you must see Your Majesty, hand over the secret letter to him, and let him quickly send troops to support Jiayueguan." ”
"And I'm going to go to Jiayueguan now, and help the princess to guard. ”
The messenger for help said: "Thank you Shaoxia for your help, this place is not very far from the imperial capital, I should arrive in four days, and I will meet Your Majesty at that time." ”
"I believe that the reinforcements will arrive at Jiayueguan within ten days. ”
"Ten days ......" Lin Bai's eyes narrowed, feeling that these ten days might not be so easy to spend.
