The morning sun had not yet risen and the night had just begun to fade. The team of Zou Heng and others had already packed up early and were ready to continue setting off.

Everyone did not have a good rest this night. It was the same time as usual, but this night felt particularly long. Although they were preparing to hit the road again so early, everyone was actually looking forward to leaving early.

After some hasty cleaning up, the team began to move as a whole and soon left yesterday's camp. The place where they set up camp yesterday only left a little trace of scorched earth, proving that someone had stayed here yesterday.

However, these traces of treatment will be buried by the loess soon after everyone leaves, and basically nothing can be seen.

The team walked for about an hour, and the sky became completely bright. Zou Heng raised his head and looked at the sky. It was cloudless. It must be another good weather today.

Maybe it's because it's dawn, or maybe it's because everyone knows that they can get out of the border wilderness and return to Yu Kingdom today, so the overall morale of the team seems to be much better.

In addition, the carriage in the middle of the team would hear the laughter of children from time to time, causing some of the soldiers in the team to gradually smile on their faces.

"At this rate, we will be able to enter Yu State by the afternoon, and then reach Anyuan Pass on the border, where we can rest for a while, and then go to Yecheng, along the official road, or by waterway.

You can go all the way to the royal capital!"

At the front of the team, Li Sheng began to talk to Zou Heng again. After this afternoon, he would be able to enter the Yu Kingdom, and then the pressure on him would be less, so Li Sheng also started to talk a little more.

After hearing Li Sheng's words, Zou Heng, who was further back, did not respond to him with words, but just smiled at him.

Seeing Zou Heng's behavior, Li Sheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He looked at Zou Heng deeply and then said nothing further.

But in his heart, Li Sheng just felt a sense of relaxation, but now it has disappeared, replaced by more vigilance.

He had been in contact with Zou Heng for just one day, and through some conversations and contacts during this period, he knew that Zou Heng was a person he could trust. At least for now, the two of them had the same goal.

Li Sheng knew more about the internal situation of Yu State than Zou Heng. Of course, he could also think of some problems that Zou Heng could think of. It was just because he was about to return to his own country that he inevitably felt a little relaxed. Now because of Zou Heng

Heng's reaction just now made him heightened his vigilance again, and he began to consider the dangers he would encounter after returning to Yu Kingdom.

In fact, Li Sheng didn't need anyone to remind him of these things. He just didn't want to think about it.

The team walked forward in silence. By noon when the weather was relatively hot, Zou Heng was already around and found some traces of human activity, which showed that they were very close to leaving the borderland.

After resting for the last time along the way, a team of about a hundred people set off on the road again. By the time everyone rested next time, they should have arrived in Yu Kingdom.

As for Zou Heng, who was riding on a horse when he was about to arrive in the Yu Kingdom, he was very vigilant at this time, because if it were him, if he wanted to attack Renwang, at the last moment when he was about to return to the Yu Kingdom,

It's a good time to start.

At this time, the soldiers around him were a little relaxed because they had returned to their homeland. Nioh himself was probably in a somewhat ups and down mood, so it was indeed a good time to take action.

The most important point is that everyone is just about to reach the territory of Yu State, and they have not really arrived yet. Even if King Ren has trouble here, it can be argued whether the person who did it is from Yu State or Qi State.

It's a quarrel. If it comes and goes, things will calm down in a short time.

If you think about this, you will know that the last stretch of road in the wasteland is indeed a good place to start.

After noon, the weather did not get cooler immediately, and the surrounding temperature was getting hotter and hotter, but this was not as good as everyone's inner heat.

Nioh, who was in the carriage, had opened the curtains of the carriage more than once and looked outside. Zou Heng glanced at him inadvertently and found that His Highness Nioh seemed to have tears in his eyes and his mood was ups and downs.

If you think about it, you can understand that in a foreign country, as a hostage, you have been there for so many years, and you live in fear every day. You can only try your best to protect yourself, and be careful not to offend anyone.

Now that I am finally setting foot on my homeland, I am gradually beginning to feel at ease. The sadness of nearly ten years suddenly floods into my heart, which will naturally make the man burst into tears.

Just like a wanderer who has been wandering outside for many years, he can grit his teeth and endure even if he is miserable and rolls his eyes when he is struggling outside. Only when he returns home and has a place where he can feel at ease will he feel aggrieved and shed tears.

But I won’t let others see my tears, I just want to vent my emotions.

It was getting closer and closer to the border of Yu State. Zou Heng couldn't help but look around, looking for hidden dangers. Li Sheng had already left the forefront of the team, silently approached the carriage, and stood beside the carriage.

There are also several knights arranged on the left and right sides.

Nioh also noticed this. He was a little excited at first, but he immediately calmed down. He also realized that even after returning to his hometown and not actually entering the royal capital, he was not out of danger yet, so he no longer looked out of the car window.

He stuck his head out.

Just when Zou Heng and others were on heightened alert, Zou Heng finally discovered something was wrong. He heard a sharp sound breaking through the air in his ears, as if something was flying over at a very fast speed.

Following the direction of the sound, Zou Heng saw something that looked like an arrow. Because the speed was so fast, he could see a vague outline flying towards the direction of the carriage.

"coming!"

Zou Heng thought to himself, then immediately turned over and dismounted.

The arrow-like thing was traveling too fast. Even if Zou Heng noticed it in advance, he didn't have the ability to react and stop it. Fortunately, there was Li Sheng beside the carriage, so he was able to react and stop it in time.

Make a response.

Sure enough, Li Sheng's reaction did not disappoint Zou Heng at all. The long knife in his hand was instantly unsheathed, a heat wave spread around his body, and the long knife slashed forward, bringing with it an invisible sword energy, and headed towards

The arrow that came quickly struck him away.

"boom!"

The next moment, a huge explosion sounded. The moment the sword energy and the arrow collided, the two turned into a ball of fire at the same time. The large group of flames spread out to the surroundings at the same time. The air wave generated by the explosion caused the people separated by

The carriages that were several meters away were damaged to a certain extent.

Zou Heng, who had just turned over and dismounted, saw this scene and couldn't help but be a little surprised by the power of the arrow just now. An arrow with such a fast speed could still have such great power. The person who launched the attack could be said to be

Quite awesome.

The opponent was a powerful character, and he didn't show up at all, so Zou Heng couldn't use ordinary methods to deal with him. Therefore, he made a quick decision at this time and took out the feather he had used before from his bag, preparing to use Ling's

strength.

Anyway, the spirit that this feather can communicate with was worshiped by his previous master. It is estimated that he can barely borrow some power during this mission. After the mission is over, I am afraid that he will not respond to this again.

Use it when you can.

"Spiritual Lord Flying Bird is born with a spirit. Feiyu is a trustworthy spirit. Please lend me your spiritual power!"

Zou Heng held the feather in his hand and recited the incantation to invite the spirit quickly at the same time. He didn't have time to prepare an offering or anything, so he could only communicate directly like this.

As his recitation of the incantation ended, the feather he held in his hand was immediately covered with a layer of spiritual light.

At the same time, another sharp sound broke through the air, and the same arrow as before struck at a very fast speed from a completely different direction.

Li Sheng, who was beside the carriage, naturally wanted to block him again at this time, but when he repeated his old trick and wielded the same sword energy as before, the situation he encountered was somewhat different from before.

The power of this arrow seemed to be stronger than the previous one. When Li Sheng's sword energy collided with this arrow, the scope of the explosion caused Li Sheng and those around him to be destroyed.

A knight was wrapped up in it, and the roof of the carriage Nioh was riding in was also overturned by the force of the explosion.

Seeing Li Sheng wrapped in the flames of the explosion, Zou Heng was shocked for a moment, but then he saw Li Sheng holding a knife in one hand and grabbing the knight who was engulfed in the flames with him in the other hand, emerging from the explosion.

It burst out of the generated flames, and my heart immediately became certain.

Judging from Li Sheng's appearance, although he was a little more embarrassed than before, he didn't seem to be injured, except that his hair and eyebrows may have been damaged. In contrast, the knight he rescued was in a more serious condition.

There were obvious burn marks on his face.

Li Sheng was fine, and Zou Heng did not dare to hesitate at all. He had to catch the attacker quickly, otherwise, everyone would face a steady stream of attacks.

"Spiritual Lord Flying Bird is born with a spirit. The bird obeys orders and is the pupil of my eyes!"

Reciting a quick chant in his mouth, Zou Heng circulated the magic power in his body. On the feather he held in his hand, a faint clear light spread out. Then, Zou Heng felt as if he had several more fields of vision at once, and it was absolutely amazing.

Most of the views are from high in the sky looking down.

These were the views of some birds flying around. With the help of these views, Zou Heng immediately searched the ground. Within a range of more than 3,000 meters around the team, nothing was found until Zou Heng searched.

After being placed five thousand meters away, I finally discovered a figure on the ground. There was a table in front of him, and he was holding a very small bow in his hand. He was unstretching the bowstring and preparing to shoot an arrow.

"found it!"
Chapter completed!
