Zhou Ji was awarded the title of Thief Saint, but he had never done anything like picking flowers, so he was not expert in these side medicines. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said: "Then give me two pairs when you have time, and I will also use them for self-defense."

Fan Xian's face changed drastically when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Ji with suspicion and asked, "Who are you planning to use on? Ruoruo?"

Bang~ Zhou Ji wanted to slap Fan Xian on the back of the head on the spot, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "Who do you think I am?"

Of course Fan Xian knew that there was no chance for these two people. Ruoruo was far away in Kyoto, and Zhou Ji would never come back from his trip to the temple, so he just made a joke. Seeing that Zhou Ji was a little angry, he couldn't help laughing and waving his hands.

He said: "I will write you a recipe later, and you can mix it yourself. I only have the one I just had, and it was given to me by my senior fellow from the Third Division."

After saying that and looking at Sean, Fan Xian suddenly remembered something and said to Zhou Ji: "Don't you also have something to ask him? Ask him quickly before he returns to the camp."

Zhou Ji glanced around, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Well, asking is in vain, I don't think he will tell me."

Things about the temple are an absolute taboo for Sean Kuhe. Unless he breaks through the mortal world at the moment of life and death, he will never tell others.

Besides, Zhou Ji, the bodyguard around him, couldn't completely believe it, so he might as well find an opportunity.

The group of people carefully exited the strange stone ridge. Halfway there, a piece of gravel suddenly rolled down from the side. Zhou Ji reached out to catch it, looked at the stone in his palm, and said in a deep voice: "Someone is here again."

Fan Xian's expression changed slightly. He struck twice in succession. His energy had reached the bottom. If there was another fight, it would probably be a disaster.

"Who?" Fan Xian said solemnly.

Zhou Ji's expression was extremely serious, and his tone was unusually low, "Coming from the north, the armored cavalry... no less than thirty people."

"What!" Wang Qinian and other guards looked pale.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of military formations, because the sergeants have strict orders and tacit cooperation, and they have long bows, short crossbows, and various weapons. Once you fall into it, you will be like a piece of meat on the table, ready to be cut by others.

A moment later, the sound of horse hooves outside Shiling sounded like thunder, and a group of Northern Qi cavalry rushed in front of everyone. More than thirty horses neighed continuously, and the black cavalry on the horses.

They all carried longbows on their backs and spears in their hands. Although they did not make a sound, the murderous aura was already on their faces.

"What a coincidence. I just borrowed Uesugi Tora's name and came here in person."

The cavalry lined up, and an imposing middle-aged military general came from behind. His majestic figure had already brought great oppression to everyone before he even got close. The spear made of fine steel reflected the luster of metal in the sun, and the two men

The blood groove is like a pair of vertical pupils, swinging up and down, like the intimidation of a poisonous snake when it spits out a message.

"Zhou Ji, the one who came here is evil. It seems that he is going to use his trump card." Fan Xian slipped out a frag grenade from his sleeve and held it in his hand. The corner of his eyes glanced at Zhou Ji's cuff, and a silvery luster flashed.

He recognized it as the muzzle of a Desert Eagle.

For melee combat, there is Sand Eagle, and for long range attack, there is Barrett.

When he was in Kyoto, Zhou Ji was still worried that if he used firearms, he would attract the attention of Emperor Qing and make him want to kill him.

Now that he was far away on the border of Qi State, he no longer had any taboos. He looked at the ninth-grade master Shang Shanhu not far in front of him with a faint look, and wanted to step forward and say something.

'Sir, you have eaten poop.'

.......

At the same time, while Zhou Ji was focusing on the Northern Qi cavalry, another group of people arrived from the Nanqing Pass.

Uesugi Tiger couldn't help but frown slightly, raised his gun and stood up, watching Nanqing's cavalry gradually approaching. After thinking about it secretly, he ordered his men to gather together to prevent being attacked from both sides.

Yan Xiaoyi obviously did not expect that Uesugi Tiger would come to rob someone in person, and thought that if he had come a little later, he would have saved a lot of trouble.

But there is no such thing as ‘what if’ in the world.

The two armies were confronting each other, with Fan Xian, Zhou Ji and others caught in the middle. Yan Xiaoyi glanced at the Northern Qi cavalry who were on full alert. If he captured the Uesugi Tiger at this time, he might be able to resume his duties and regain the command of the imperial army.

But the eldest princess's order lingered in her ears, and Yan Xiaoyi thought about it, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

If Fan Xian and Uesugi Tiger are allowed to have a shopping spree, and I take the opportunity to kill both of them, then take Fan Xian's head to the eldest princess to give an explanation, and then take Uesugi Tiger's head to receive the reward from His Majesty, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone!

Suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, Yan Xiaoyi raised his voice and said: "Uesugi Tiger, you don't need to be nervous. It has nothing to do with me that you save Sean. I only want Fan Xian's life."

Naturally, Tiger Uesugi didn't believe Yan Xiaoyi's lies. As a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he could see Yan Xiaoyi's plan at a glance.

He snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Kill them all!"

The total number of people on both sides is only a few dozen, but they are all elites in the army. The collision can be described as extremely brutal.

Fan Xian and Zhou Ji looked at each other and told everyone to retreat slowly to avoid being involved and causing casualties.

As a ninth-grade archer, Yan Xiaoyi stood there as a huge deterrent. Every time he took a shot, one of the Northern Qi elites would be shot off his horse.

Tiger Uesugi knew that he could not let Yan Xiaoyi shoot arrows by the side, so he mounted his horse to meet him, intending to take the enemy's head first.

On the other side, Guo Baokun and Fan Ruoruo followed Zhao Da and others and quietly entered the strange stone ridge to observe the enemy's situation in the dark.

"Brother!" Fan Ruoruo looked anxiously for Fan Xian and Zhou Ji on the battlefield. Just as he was about to speak out, he was stopped by Zhao Da.

Guo Baokun lay on the stone and poked his head out for a quick glance, then slipped down and whispered: "Miss Ruoruo, don't worry, Fan Xian is on the other side of the battlefield and is safe."

Fan Ruoruo looked in the direction Guo Baokun pointed and saw the two people in the crowd, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Da frowned and said: "Uesugi Tiger brought more than thirty soldiers with him this time, and we only have a dozen people here. Now General Yan is being restrained by Uesugi Tiger and has no time to shoot the elites of the Northern Qi Dynasty. I'm afraid if it continues, it will be extremely harmful to us."

It’s not good.”

Guo Baokun already regarded Fan Xian as the last straw to save his father. He thought that if he rescued Fan Xian now, the probability of him agreeing to intercede for his father would be much higher!

"Zhao Da, go ahead! Kill Qi Gou and save Fan Xian!" Guo Baokun put his palm on Zhao Da's shoulder, nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay for Miss Ruoruo and I to hide here."

"Kill all the dogs! Save Fan Xian!"

The four brothers behind Zhao Dahe jumped up, and the sickles and poles in their hands instantly turned into the most effective killing weapons. As soon as they entered the scene, they unexpectedly killed five elite Northern Qi soldiers.

"Okay!" Guo Baokun was overjoyed when he saw the sudden reversal of the battle situation. He smacked his palms and secretly said "Warrior!" He didn't realize at all that Fan Ruoruo had quietly walked around from the other side of the boulder and was cautiously touching in the direction of Fan Xian and Zhou Ji.
