After a night of tracking

Kumu was resting by a lake. He took out his water bag and washed his hands and cheeks first, rinsed his mouth, and then slowly drank some water. Last night, he left the small town according to Ji Wu's instructions.

When chasing the two of them with the mark left by the shadow, they met three groups of robbers one after another on the road, one of which made him think about it to this day.

If it were just robbers, even if this was a small border town of Nanli State, we wouldn't have encountered three groups of robbers in succession, and the number of those three groups of robbers was no less than twenty, not to mention the last group of robbers.

No, that's not a robber at all.

The command of advance and retreat, skillful swordsmanship, coupled with the fact that the robbers are not only strong and brave, but at least they are young and strong, it is impossible for them to become robbers, and it is impossible for such a group to exist.

The robbers are all so young and strong

Looks like a border soldier

Kumu thought like this. Although the strength of the other party was vastly different from his, which could not be compensated by the number of people, Kumu couldn't help but frown when thinking of Ji Wuying and Zhou Buyi.

Could it be possible that Young Master and the others also encountered the same robber?

Thinking of this, Kumu couldn't take any time to rest. He put the water bag into the interlayer of his jacket, picked up his blood-stained sword from the ground, and prepared to continue on the road and start chasing Ji Wuying.

It can be said that what he is worried about is only Ji Wuying's Qinggong skills. Although the rumors are just rumors, after this day, he has not stopped chasing several times and has not yet caught up with the old man who is carrying Zhou Buyi, who is like a burden. He is concerned about the rumors.

Ji Wuying was already aware of his Qinggong attainments, but if there were more than a hundred people setting an ambush in front of him, it would be dangerous.

After all, as far as he knew, the old man had almost never taken action, which made him even more worried about Zhou Buyi's safety.

But not long after Kumu got up and was about to lead the horse he bought from the inn, a sharp arrow shot out in the wind.

The sharp arrow that was like an eagle's cry directly hit the horse, and the foal that was staying by the lake with its head bowed to drink water fell down in response and lost its breath.

"Kumu, you killed my Jinsi person for no reason. You have to give me an explanation, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up. The surrounding trees were swept by this strong wind, and their roots were about to be uprooted, swaying non-stop.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

There were three more eagle cries. Although the noise caused by the strong wind blocked the sound, Kumu's intuition had already sensed the direction at the moment the arrow was shot. Kumu knew that it was too late to avoid it, so he quickly turned sideways and performed three moves in succession.

Chopping and slashing, he was able to knock away the three sharp arrows that were originally shot at him. However, although they were knocked away, Kumu's arm that originally held the sword was trembling slightly.

Master!

Kumu's first reaction was that the opponent was an arrow.

Martial arts master, at least three consecutive strikes of this move are enough to seriously injure any martial arts master when he is unprepared.

After the wind and sand fell, Kumu looked again. Dozens of people wearing fiery red tiger robes and carrying quivers appeared on the originally deserted wilderness.

The leader of these people had just put down the bow and arrow in his hand. From a distance, he saw that the three fingers of one of his palms were covered with calluses. The three arrows just now should have been shot by this person.

Kumu put on a defensive posture, and when he was wondering who this person was, his eyes caught a glimpse of the token on the person's waist, and then thinking about the uniform clothes of these dozens of people and the strange beasts embroidered on the corners of their clothes, he was already confused

Now he understands what kind of force he is facing.

Although he was a little embarrassed just now, his iceberg-like expression remained unchanged. After Kumu changed his sword from his left hand to his right hand, he asked, "Commander of Zhijinsi, I remember that I have no grudges with you, right?"

The commander of the Zhijin Division snorted coldly, put away his bow and arrows, and waved his hand backwards. Then dozens of people behind him stood in two rows, and then four people carried two stretchers and carried them in front of Kumu.

"Take a good look for yourself"

Seeing that the other party was willing to give him a chance to explain, Kumu slowly put away his sword and walked forward.

On the two stretchers, there were two corpses that had been dead for some time, but judging from their appearance, they should be the subordinates of the commander of the gold-bearing department.

Just when Kumu was about to ask what this had to do with him, he was quite puzzled by the two places on top of the two corpses.

Because both corpses were killed with one blow, and looking at the scars, it looked like sword wounds. But Kumu took a closer look and instantly understood why the other party came to trouble him.

"Humph, it seems you understand? No matter how many people can achieve the scar of killing someone with one sword, the two remaining sword energies are clearly the sword energy of your Kumu swordsmanship. What are you doing?

What’s the explanation?”

Kumu shrugged and narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had not yet figured out what happened and how his sword energy could be found on these two corpses, it was obvious at this time that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to wash it away.

"It seems you have acquiesced, then bury me in this wilderness today."

After the words fell, the commander of the Zhijin Division once again bent his bow and nocked an arrow. Different from the previous times, this time he directly pulled out five arrows from the quiver with five fingers and nocked the five arrows on the string with ease. It seems that the three consecutive shots are not like this.

The limit of leadership

Seeing their leader doing this, the dozens of people holding the gold division also dispersed and tightly surrounded Kumu, but they had no intention of taking out their bows and arrows.

Seeing that it was no longer time to explain the development of the matter, Kumu held the sword in his right hand again, thinking in his mind that he had just dodged the three arrows and was already a little embarrassed. Next, he really had to resist this obvious power.

A better five-in-a-row?

"Go to hell!"

The commander of the Zhijin Division narrowed his eyes slightly, loosened his fingers, and shot out five sharp arrows, like five poisonous snakes spitting out letters, flying in five directions. It seemed that this man had no intention of giving Kumu a chance to dodge.

I want to shoot Kumu directly at once

and the other side

After Ji Wuying comforted Zhou Buyi and fell asleep, the deep eyes that looked at Zhou Buyi were full of pity.

He Kumu guessed it right. Along the way, the two of them also met a group of border soldiers disguised as bandits. Moreover, those people didn't give Ji Wuying a chance to speak. When they met, they just used their own weapons to attack the two soldiers.

people

Fortunately, Ji Wuying was very skillful and managed to escape. He quickly escaped before the opponent formed a circle around them, but even so, Ji Wuying was still shot with an arrow.

After Ji Wuying comforted Zhou Buyi and bandaged his wounds, all kinds of doubts came to his mind. From his point of view, it was obvious that those people were here for Zhou Buyi, but Zhou Buyi was in the small town.

Only a few people know the news, and those few people have no motive to attack Zhou Buwei if they think about it carefully. But besides those people, who else has such weight that they can mobilize a group of frontier troops to ambush them at will?

What's more, he was shot by an arrow when he was passing through the woods shortly after escaping from the encirclement. Although his mental power is not very strong, he can hide his mental power from the person who shot the arrow in the woods.

Definitely not an ordinary person

People of this level, plus the border troops, all came to assassinate Zhou Buyi under the orders of the same person or force.

After such analysis, Ji Wuying couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her forehead. She subconsciously looked back at Zhou Buyi. Only a few people knew the prince's true identity, and she happened to be one of those people. With such an identity, it was absolutely unacceptable.

Allow for mistakes

But at this time

Zhou Busuo is missing?

The moment Ji Wuying was bandaged, when he looked back, he saw that Zhou Buyi, who was lying down and asleep, had disappeared out of thin air?

Ji Wuying's expression changed drastically. The target of those people was Zhou Buyi, but at this moment Zhou Buyi suddenly disappeared. This made his mind go blank for a moment, and he couldn't care about the injuries on his back.

Pick up Kumu's scabbard and go looking for Zhou Buyi

"Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to you."

It's not a good thing that the other party can kidnap Zhou Buji without her knowing it. Ji Wuying is confident that even someone of Kumu's level wants to take Zhou Buji away without her noticing.

It's impossible, but if you calculate it this way, wouldn't the opponent be stronger than Kumu?
