Zheng Zhicheng was whipped on the cheek, but he couldn't get a seizure. With a gloomy face, his fingers were white, he returned to a mansion in the Beilu Academy, and smashed all the furnishings in the house to a pulp, but it was difficult to vent his anger.

"Dare to ruin my face, this little slut, I have to clean her up! Have they entered the North Foot Mountain now?"

Zheng Zhicheng cursed viciously.

More than a dozen of his male and female attendants knelt inside and outside the house, one by one, silent.

"Yu Gongzi, the little one is chasing after him all the way, but Princess Wu and her entourage are fast on the horse, and the villain's horses are weak and can't catch up. The little one chased halfway and was about to give up and come back, but saw them suddenly change direction, and did not enter the deep mountains at the northern foothills, but went to the southwest post road. After the little one saw the direction clearly, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came back to report to the son!"

A man said quickly.

"Southwest Post Road?She didn't go hunting in the North Foot Mountain?!"

Zheng Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, his furious color converged, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes, "Take the map!"

Several maids hurriedly spread out a paper map on the table.

"Southwest Post Road!"

Zheng Zhicheng's finger was along the map, "Walking along the southwest post road, passing through several small cities, she has lived in the prosperous royal city for a long time, and she will not be interested in these small broken cities." Go down further, and the end of the post road is the Zhenyuan Pass of Wuguo. This is an important pass in the northern frontier of the Wu State, which is at war with the Ning State. Where is she going to do something?!Is it the secret mission of the lord of the country to let her go to Zhenyuanguan?"

Zheng Zhicheng frowned and groaned, "Who is guarding Zhenyuan Pass now?"

"Childe. The current guard of Zhenyuan Pass is Ma Rushan, the eldest son of the Ma family. He was a general of Sanpin, leading 5,000 troops and horses to guard the far pass of the town. ”

"Good!. ”

Zheng Zhicheng was ruthless, showing a gloomy smile, "Send a message to Ma Rushan Feigeon, just say that his own brother Ma Ruyuan died in the hands of Ye Chen, and Ye Chen is on the way to Zhenyuan Pass, passing with the little princess." He will definitely avenge his brother by sending troops to intercept him. The sweaty horses are the first-class horses of the Martial Kingdom, and if no one intercepts them, I really can't catch up with them. As long as Ma Rushan can hold them back for a day or two, I will be able to catch up with them! Prepare the horses and go to Zhenyuan Pass!"

"Yes, Childe!"

Princess Wu Xiao, Ye Chen, Yan Han, and Wei Xuanyu galloped along the post road.

Yan Han and Wei Xuanyu followed the princess as guards.

Ye Chen explored the way in front.

"Why are there so many victims!?"

Ye Chen galloped all the way, shocking.

In the past few days, the closer they got to the border of Wuguo, the more ragged victims they encountered.

Occasionally, you can see wealthy families, large groups of families carrying knives and guns, and horse-drawn carriages carrying family property for long distances.

Some demoralized deserters, poorly dressed and unarmoured, can even be seen mingling with the victims.

Ye Chen had long heard of the war in the Wu Kingdom and the surrounding countries. However, the Beilu Academy is in the hinterland of Wuguo, and Yejia Village is located in a corner of the barren mountains, and there are no military disasters, and he has never felt such a strong atmosphere of war.

A group of four of them rode a BMW and rushed in the direction of Zhenyuanguan, attracting the suspicious eyes of many hungry victims. But the swords and swords carried by the four of them made them dare not think anything wrong.

"Every time there is a war on the frontier, there are many people fleeing. This time, Shikoku besieged Mukoku, and the disaster was particularly serious. ”

Princess Wu Xiao looked gloomy when she saw the crowds of victims.

She rode her horse and saw that the deserters were mixed among the victims, and she became more and more angry, and shouted angrily, "The country of Wu is besieged by the enemy country, and it is in danger, you don't think about sacrificing your life for the country, you actually become deserters!

The whip in Princess Wu's hand was drawn towards several deserters among the victims.

A horsewhip instantly whipped a deserter to death.

Ye Chen couldn't bear to look at it, and turned his head to look into the distance. Although pitiful, the deserter has nothing to say even if he is killed on the spot.

"Princess, princess, spare your life! The front suffered a defeat, General Ma led the army to defeat, and the villain was scattered by the enemy, so he was forced to flee. The deserter rolled on the ground, bowed down to the little princess, and shouted for mercy.

"What, Zhenyuan Pass is lost?"

Princess Wu was shocked.

"It's not lost yet, but it's almost. General Ma Rushan was eager to seek merit, left 1,000 soldiers to defend the city, personally led 4,000 troops and horses to kill out of Zhenyuan Pass, and fought with Ning's ** team. However, they were ambushed and defeated, and only 1,000 remnants of the 4,000 army fled back to Zhenyuan Pass. Now there are less than 2,000 soldiers in Zhenyuan Pass, and the morale is gone, and it can still hold on for a few days! The villain followed the general on the expedition, and escaped back with his life, but when he saw that the situation was not good, he mixed in with the disaster as a deserter, and the princess spared her life. ”

The deserter fell to his knees and wept.

"Ma Rushan, this bastard thing, really damn it! Father asked him to defend Zhenyuan Pass, who let him fight without permission! Ma Rushan is only at the seventh level of the body refining period, and his strength is not strong. His ability to lead troops is 10,000 times worse than that of his father, Ma Bai, the general of the country, and he didn't know how to go on the expedition. The 5,000 military horses in Zhenyuan Pass are the best elite in the Wu Kingdom, and his father let him lead the troops for his father's sake, and now they are all destroyed in the hands of this waste. ”

Princess Wu's fingers trembled angrily, and she almost fainted.

Ma Rushan probably wants to learn from his father. ’

Ye Chen muttered in his heart.

Yan Han and Wei Xuanyu looked at each other, they were just warriors and not generals. But I also know that the border towns can be defended but not attacked, and the four countries besiege the martial countries, and it is a prudent policy to defend them. If you rush to send troops, you will be defeated faster.

"Princess Lingxiang, Zhenyuan Pass has already been defeated, but Ma Rushan still has 2,000 soldiers, and Zhenyuan Pass is strong, and it can be maintained for a while. We'd better get out of town as soon as possible and find reinforcements. The longer the princess is delayed here, the more dangerous the martial kingdom becomes. ”

Wei Xuanyu comforted softly.

"Let's go!"

Princess Wu nodded.

The group went to the far pass of the town.

There are still dozens of miles away from the town's far pass, "Boom!", a group of dozens of elite cavalry, galloping in their direction.

The four of them were startled and stopped.

"Phew!"

The cavalry stopped.

Led by a young military general wearing armor, quite heroic, but just after a defeat made his expression gloomy, his eyes swept over the little princess Wu, but he did not have any expression, nor did he greet him.

The young military general waved the swords in his hand, pointed at Ye Chen and Yan Han, and asked, "You two, who is Ye Chen?"

"Ma Rushan, don't bow when you see this princess! What do you want to do!"

Princess Wu raised her eyebrows and shouted.

"Princess Lingxiang, don't be surprised. Zheng Zhicheng sent me a letter from Feige, saying that my younger brother Ma Ruyuan died at the hands of Ye Chen, a civilian student of Beilu Academy, and Ye Chen was escorting the princess to Zhenyuanguan! I want to see what kind of person this Ye Chen is, who dares to kill the children of my Ma family. I don't want to do anything but his life and pay tribute to my brother. The princess wouldn't be trying to shelter this little commoner, would she?"

Ma Rushan sneered.

"Ye Chen killed Ma Ruyuan, is there such a thing?"

Princess Wu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yan Han and Wei Xuanyu.

"Princess, Senior Brother Ye Chen and Senior Brother Ma have had disputes, but they are all trivial matters. Senior Brother Ma died in the mouth of the gray wolf in the deep mountains of the northern foot during the graduation assessment, which is well known to everyone. Zheng Zhicheng is afraid that he wants Ma Rushan to drag us down!"

Wei Xuanyu said softly.

Yan Han opened his mouth and said slowly, "How Ma Ruyuan died, no one has seen it." Zheng Zhicheng didn't even see it in person, he just talked nonsense. ”

"But my brother is dead! No matter how he died, he must give an explanation, otherwise how will my Ma family's face be maintained!"

Ma Rushan sneered.

"Hmph, you have suffered a defeat and lost 3,000 soldiers and horses, what face do you have?! If you lose Zhenyuan Pass, your father will definitely punish you for capital crimes and destroy you!"

Princess Wu sneered.

Ma Rushan's face changed suddenly.

Ye Chen didn't want to get entangled, so he took a few steps forward and said, "I'm Ye Chen!" It seems that you must kill me today, don't waste time, come on." Not long ago, I just passed the graduation assessment of the Beilu Academy, and I practiced the intermediate sword technique of the Tiger Leaping Sword Method, so I can teach your Excellency the martial arts!"

"Okay, I'm a horse like a mountain, a seventh-layer martial artist in the body refining period! I won't deceive you, I will behead you with one hand!"

Ma Rushan laughed wildly, held the horse chopping knife in one hand, patted the horse's back, and rushed towards Ye Chen.

"What a shame!"

Princess Wu, Yan Han, and Wei Xuanyu all showed no anger on their faces. A seventh-layer martial artist in the late stage of body refining, against a sixth-layer martial artist in body refining, has qi and no qi, that is the natural difference. Even if it's a hand, it's a bully.

"Seven floors!"

Ye Chen grabbed the horse's back, accelerated and rushed forward, pressing the handle of the golden silk treasure knife with his right hand, and there was a hint of mockery hidden under his eyes.

"Drink!

Ma Rushan swung out the horse chopping knife horizontally, and a sharp and domineering knife qi burst out from the horse chopping knife. If it is hit, it is enough to cut people and horses in two.

"Arc Moon Slash!"

Ye Chen rushed into a place and slashed out. In a semi-circular arc-shaped sword light, there was a faint heavy sword aura, slashing towards Ma Rushan.

"Sonorous!"

Jin Ming staggered.

"Five Dao Sword Qi!Martial Artist Refining Eight Layers?"

A stunned look appeared on Ma Rushan's face.

The figures of the two fast horses staggered almost instantly.

Ma Rushan stopped slowly, looking at the clear knife marks on the armor on his chest in disbelief. There was also a knife mark on the horse. "Poof", Ma Rushan spewed out a handful of blood mist, and even people and war horses fell down with a bang.
