Chapter 4: The Way Home, Hero's Tomb
Because of the assassination incident, the Xiao family sent a lot of people to set off together, and there were many more people, but no one noticed that a different guard had mixed into the team.
After ten days of rapid travel, it was finally about to arrive at Wanghai City, but the closer it was to Wanghai City, the heavier the atmosphere of the convoy, it turned out that the letter that day was written that Jia Yi was assassinated, the Fengyang Empire army had landed from the sea, and the enemy had arrived outside Wanghai City.
Thinking of the assassination of the prince of the capital, it seems that the Fengyang Empire is going to attack the Flame Empire from Wanghai City.
Although Mrs. Jia was eager to see her husband, she also knew that the Fengyang Empire might intercept them on the road and threaten Jia Yi.
"It's almost time to reach Wanghai City, everyone mentions. The captain of the guard said to his subordinates, although the rapid march in a row made people very tired, but everyone did not dare to relax anything, and continued to maintain the speed towards Wanghai City.
Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed out from the right side of the convoy and killed the convoy.
"Protect Madame!" cried the captain of the guard,
"One team stays with me to block the enemy, and the others escort Madame away!". Jia Guoan also wanted to stay, but let the captain of the guard drive away without a leader, after all, there is basically no life after staying.
Jia Guoan bowed to the group left behind, turned around and led the rest of the people to continue their march towards Wanghai City.
I don't know how far I didn't run, but I actually encountered three teams of cavalry of the enemy, and it turned out that the first team was supposed to divide their team.
Seeing this, everyone panicked, Jia Guoan looked at his mother and said loudly: "The second team follows me, and the others continue to escort my mother." Of course, Mrs. Jia disagreed, but she couldn't help it at this moment.
"Everyone, entangle the enemy, give priority to attacking the horse's legs!" Jia Guoan understood that his people could not defeat the enemy, and could only delay the time for his mother to return to the city safely.
Attacking the horse's legs can make the enemy lose the ability to move quickly, and after a fierce battle for nearly an hour, the enemy suddenly stopped trying to catch up with the convoy, because they knew that it was too late, Mrs. Jia was likely to have arrived at Wanghai City, and Wanghai City would definitely send reinforcements, just when the Fengyang Country Rangers were about to retreat, the team that was blocked was to solve the captain of the guard and the first team, and rushed over to join the other three teams,
"Don't let them go!" called the captain of the enemy team
"That young man is Jia Guoan!", the other three teams instantly formed a formation when they heard this, blocking the way back to Haicheng, Jia Guoan and the others turned their horses' heads and ran towards the mountains on the left.
Chasing and killing all the way, Jia Guoan finally got rid of the enemy under the desperate cover of others, and seeing that there were only three of the original more than fifty people around him, Jia Guoan's hatred for the Fengyang Empire rose in a straight line.
I don't know if the enemy is still there, and Jia Guoan was also seriously injured when he was fighting, and he insisted on the idea of letting his mother return to the city safely, throwing off the enemy soldiers, and his mother should also arrive in Wanghai City.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and after a hurried inspection, they found that it was just excessive blood loss, so they stopped the bleeding for Jia Guoan and found a remote cave, and the three of them decided to wait for Jia Guoan to wake up before making plans.
After resting for a while, seeing that Jia Guoan had not woken up yet, the three of them discussed the division of labor, the other two were the guards of the Jia family, looked at another guard they didn't know and said, "Are your Xiao family guards so thin?" I saw this guard pointing to his mouth and waving his hand,
"Still a dumb person, you don't expect you to do anything like this, go find some dry wood nearby to make a fire, Yang Yi, you are here to protect the little general, I'll go and see how many game." The guard said to the other.
"Isn't it okay to make a fire? Doesn't it reveal our location?" the guard named Yang Yi looked puzzled.
"This winter, although we are in the south, but how can we survive at night without a fire, not to mention that the little general is still unconscious, you do this, make more small holes along the inside of the cave, the mountain wind is strong, and the smoke scattered from the small holes will disperse as soon as it blows, it should not be noticed, if it is seen, it can only mean that they have searched here, and sooner or later a battle is not it?" replied another guard.
Yang Yi was right to think about it, the three of them decided to divide the labor and go to their respective busy? Not long after the three of them left, Jia Guoan slowly woke up, thirsty, and saw Yang Yi struggling to make a hole, so he could only make a sound, and went out alone to find water to drink.
The words were divided into two ends, and the thin mute guard, who could not speak, left the cave and quickly found a nearby river, and with a pale face, he held on to the big tree and vomited for a while.
Seeing the dust he had been getting from his journey for more than ten days, the guard decided to wash himself in the river.
Besides, Jia Guoan's brain was still a little confused due to excessive blood loss, and he stumbled to the river, and suddenly saw a woman bathing in the river?
But seeing the woman, with long hair and waist-length skin, (cough cough, it is not suitable for children to go further), Jia Guoan was stunned for a while.
The woman suddenly turned around, saw Jia Guoan, and opened her mouth to shout. Jia Guoan was chased and killed by the enemy, of course he couldn't let the woman shout out, didn't that expose his location?
quickly stepped forward and covered the woman's mouth,
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!" Jia Guoan threatened, the woman really didn't dare to move, and when the woman quieted down, Jia Guoan looked at the woman's face, the standard melon seed face, the moon lips, the eyes that made people feel sharp and cold, and the wheat-colored skin looked very healthy.
No! Jia Guoan's mind buzzed, isn't this, Princess Yu?! Why is she here, still bathing in the river?
Princess Yu, who had a cold face, said to Jia Guoan: "Have you seen enough! Turn around, what do you want to !!" Jia Guoan smiled awkwardly and ran back towards the cave, this water can't be drunk, wait a while and ask Yang Yi to get some water.
Jia Guoan went back to the cave and asked Yang Yi to get some water and come back, and specially told him not to go to the small river. Soon, Princess Yu actually came to the cave, holding some dry materials in her arms, and wearing the armor of the Xiao family guards.
Jia Guoan was dumbfounded, and instantly understood what was going on. Smiled awkwardly
"Princess Yu, why are you in the Xiao family guard? You are here, does the prince know?", Princess Yu, who was originally aggressive, paused, and said with a little weakness: "Of course I know, hum" Looking at her appearance, Jia Guoan knew that Princess Yu was lying, and she didn't debunk it, after all, it was already like this now, and it was the right thing for the four of them to return to Wanghai City safely.
Relatively silent, the two of them were embarrassed to do it together, Jia Guoan lit the dry wood, and there was only a crackling sound when burning in the cave.
Fortunately, this atmosphere didn't last long, first Yang Yi came back from fetching water, and caught two fish by the way while fetching water, followed by another guard who also came back with two hares and a pheasant.
The four of them had a dinner, discussed it and decided to leave tomorrow to look back at Haicheng, Yang Yi went to explore the way at night, and after the other guard kept vigil, there was nothing to do all night.
In the blink of an eye, the dawn of the next day came, Yang Yi also brought good news, when he was exploring the road, he met the troops from Wanghai City to pick up, he came back first to report the news, and the troops arrived later.
Jia Guoan stood up and said to Yang Yi, "Take advantage of this time, let's build a tomb for our dead brother," Yang Yi responded.
After the tomb was built, Jia Guoan said to the tomb: "Dead brother, I, Jia Guoan, swear to heaven and earth here, I will destroy the Fengyang Rat Kingdom in my lifetime, and avenge all my brothers! Brothers, wait for my triumphant return!"
