Chapter 45 (Fighting in the Woods)

Yan Jun didn't know how far he had run, but he felt that his mount was running faster and faster under the spur, and the wind was loud in his ears, and he didn't care about the pain on his face like a knife.

Zhu Di glanced at the cold sky, and saw the empty road behind him, so he took a long breath and ordered to rest on the spot for a while.

Zhu Di was unkempt, his armor was covered with blood and mud stains, and he couldn't distinguish the specific color for a long time, and his golden helmet was crooked, looking extremely embarrassed. The generals were covered in blood and wounded in many places. Counting the casualties of the soldiers, more than 20 generals were killed in the battle, and 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers were also sacrificed.

Zhu Di almost fainted when he heard this, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood. His men and horses were not easy to come by, they were all "accumulated" by years of recruitment, and how could he not feel distressed when he went south this time with so many casualties, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of "Beiping"

Just when Zhu Di was checking the soldiers and horses and preparing to set off, Zhang Yu, who had been guarding Zhu Di's side, found that Ling Xiao and the Cheng brothers had disappeared at some point, and shouted in his heart: "It's not good, the eldest brother may have deliberately avoided my sight, and found the Cheng brothers in the fierce battle to seek revenge."

In addition to worrying about Ling Xiao in his heart, he also cared about the safety of the Cheng brothers, for fear that they would already fight somewhere.

Thinking of this, he told Zhu Di about it, Zhu Di really didn't pay attention to Ling Xiao, Cheng Shu and others in the confusion, and when he heard Zhang Yu mention it at this time, when he looked carefully, he really didn't see any trace of those people.

Zhang Yu automatically asked for orders to find it, Zhu Di was also worried about the safety of several people, saying that he was sending a team of men and horses to Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu refused, Zhu Di had to say helplessly when he saw this: "Shaoxia, go and go back quickly, after returning to Beiping, this king will definitely thank Shaoxia"

Zhang Yukou said "yes" but he had a small calculation in his heart, this time he was involved in the battle between the two armies was purely accidental, he originally hated the officers and soldiers, and then saw the cruelty of the war, and realized how rare it is to have a peaceful world.

Ling Xiao also mentioned to him that this kind of civil war is right and wrong, and who can tell the truth, in the final analysis, it is not for the word "power". At this time, Zhang Yu's mood was much broader, and when he remembered that the helpless people also suffered with the war, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Secretly glanced at Zhu Di and said: "Is it really that good to be an emperor" Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of helplessness, and he arched his hand towards Zhu Di and the others, and turned his horse to gallop away in the opposite direction.

Cheng Shu, who sheltered Zhu Di all the way, was killing excitedly, and suddenly saw that the sky was about to brighten and glanced at the brothers, and they actually left Zhu Di, and the three of them fought another way to fight a bloody way, and it was not difficult to break out of the camp with their martial arts attainments.

The three of them rushed out of the two military horses, ran for a while, and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, when they suddenly saw a red horse rushing out, and immediately sat a dark-skinned young man, he was holding a long sword with a cold light, his face was not good, who else would Ling Xiao who was not hiding by himself. Seeing this, they didn't think much about it, and hurriedly rushed diagonally into the forest.

In fact, although Ling Xiao has been dealing with the soldiers and generals who have been killing by Zhu Di's side, his eyes have never left the figure of the three brothers, and when he suddenly saw the three of them fleeing, he expected that they intended to escape, if he really wanted to let the three escape, it would not be so easy to find it next time, when would the revenge of killing his father be avenged?

So he didn't talk to Zhang Yu, he deliberately avoided Zhang Yu, and took advantage of Zhang Yu's lack of attention to urge the horse to chase after him.

After running out of more than 20 miles, Cheng Teng couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Ling Xiao behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer to him. After running for a while, Cheng Teng found that there was a horse and a person behind him, and Zhang Yu didn't seem to follow.

Cheng Teng thought to himself: "It seems that this surnamed Ling is confident that he can deal with my three brothers; now in this field, what is the use of wanting to hide, even if we are afraid that he will do something, if it spreads, we will be sent a war letter by a junior, and we will not dare to flee in all directions chased by him, will we not be ruined and laughed at by the people of the rivers and lakes."

Thinking of this, Cheng Teng calmed down, and suddenly strangled the rope and said to Cheng Shu beside him: "Big brother, I don't think we should run away, since this kid is here, let's meet him high."

Cheng Shu had already realized that there was only Ling Xiao behind him, and he also had the heart to compete, not to mention that Cheng Gen had already been impatient, and when he heard the words of the two elder brothers, he catered to him: "Yes, second brother, you finally said what you heard, we are afraid that he will do something like a birdman, and he has escaped so far for no reason, but he has given that kid enough face."

In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao was already close, and when he saw that the Cheng brothers had dismounted, he couldn't help but sneer, jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "A few owners, but let Ling be easy to chase" The meaning of the words was full of ridicule and ridicule.

Cheng Shu's old face couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and scolded secretly: "Good boy, the kung fu on your mouth is vicious" Cheng Teng also frowned, and then stretched out, but he also smiled and said: "Since Ling Shaoxia has made a tactic, how can the three of us escape, it is inconvenient to fight in the city, it's just a change of place, isn't this just like the meaning of the young man?"

Ling Xiao sneered in his heart and secretly thought: "It's really cunning and cunning" sneered: "Master Cheng Zhuang is refreshing enough, whether he is in a group or alone, please..."

Thinking of setting up the portal here and about to light up the blade, Cheng Gen next to him suddenly flashed out and shouted: "The surname is Ling, today I will make you the soul of Cheng Sanye's knife" The person who shouted was already in front of him, raised his knife and slashed at Ling Xiao, Cheng Gen always wanted to strike first, so before he finished speaking, he made a move to "split Huashan" and only ran to Ling Xiao's door.

Ling Xiao turned sideways to avoid it, only to feel a strong wind drifting through the front door, and the skin he scraped was faintly painful, which showed that Cheng Gen's strength was not small. Cheng never thought that he would succeed with a single sword, and he missed a blow and slashed another knife to "sweep away thousands of troops".

Ling Xiao jumped up and turned a somersault in the air and actually reached Cheng Gen's back, so Cheng Gen's back space could be left to the opponent, Ling Xiao's hand shook and he didn't hear the slightest sound of drawing his sword, and the sword shadow flashed with white light, and it had attacked Cheng Gen directly.

Cheng Teng on the side saw that Cheng Gen had exposed such a big flaw to the enemy, and his heart suddenly tightened, if this sword really wanted to be stabbed, he would definitely die, and he was shocked and hurriedly reminded and exclaimed: "Third child, be careful behind you."

Ling Xiao did make a ruthless move, he was bound to take the lives of three people today, his speed was so amazing, the sword flashed and was about to penetrate Cheng Gen's back.

After all, Cheng Gen is also a well-known hero, and the knife skills of the "Bagua Knife" are also very accomplished.

said that it was too late, and suddenly felt a cold air coming from behind, and was reminded by Cheng Teng, knowing that he couldn't stop it, he actually moved his body a few feet away and avoided it, but he rolled to the ground because of his unstable footing. Seeing Ling Xiao stabbing another sword, another carp immediately rolled around, and only then did he escape the fatal point.

But it was still a little slower, a few bloody cuts were drawn out of his back, Cheng Gen's back was faintly painful, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Good thief" Before he finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, and a burst of sword shadows flashed, and he went straight to his throat.

Cheng Gen has a lot of brute strength, but his light body kung fu is extremely inferior, he has used all his strength to avoid Ling Xiao's rapid attack before, and at this time, seeing the sword flashing, it was too late to dodge, and before he could even scream, he was picked by Ling Xiao in the throat.

Ling Xiao drew his sword, and Cheng Gen's throat spurted blood several feet away, and then looked at Cheng Gen's face, he still retained that angry and unbelievable look when he was dying.
