Ji Jie took Sima Xueran out of the camp to hunt three times in a row, and each time he left the camp farther than the last time.
In the secret, a pair of eyes watched carefully, and the owner of the eyes immediately returned to Zhaocheng and reported what he had found out to Cao Qiudao.
Cao Qiudao frowned slightly after listening, and happily slapped the table and said: "Ji Jie couldn't help but become arrogant because he just won the battle, and his defense specifications were also reduced to the lowest. Now is the best opportunity to take action!"
"Yes, the analysis made by the head of the family is very reasonable!" A young man who was just sent from the family gave a thumbs up and said, "He would never have imagined that something so joyful and tragic would happen to him, and it would happen so quickly!"
"Haha, let's set off right away!" Cao Qiudao stood up and said, "There are eight of us in ambush in eight different directions. No matter whose defense zone Ji Jie passes, follow me quietly, send out the signal and Leave a mark along the way!”
"As you command, Master!"
…
Early that morning, Ji Jie opened his eyes, slapped Sima Xueran's pink buttocks, and said with a wicked smile: "Of course my wife is up, let's go hunting!"
Sima Xueran was busy until midnight last night and didn't sleep until midnight. Now he is sleepy and hummed: "Why are you hunting? Don't you get tired of hunting every day? I won't go today, I want to catch up on my sleep!"
"If I don't get up, I will...wahaha..." As soon as Ji Jie laughed, Sima Xueran jumped up from the bed, because she knew very well what this special laughter represented. If I get up, I won’t even think about getting out of bed all day!
Ji Jie was streaming while watching the beauty change her clothes. "Wow, I can see such a beautiful picture every morning. I am so happy in life."
After breakfast, the two of them set out on the road with twenty guards.
"Why are you so interested in hunting these days?" Sima Xueran was a little confused about Ji Jie's motives.
"Haha, not only hunting, haven't you noticed that the number of guards I bring out is also getting fewer and fewer?" Ji Jie whispered.
Sima Xueran suddenly understood, and lowered her voice and said, "Is it to catch someone? Have you arranged everything?"
Ji Jie nodded and said mysteriously: "It was prepared last night. I expected that guy to follow. This time there will be no further trouble!"
A group of people quickly left the camp several miles away. The two of them showed unfinished expressions and kept running forward. The speed was so fast that the Cao family who were chasing after them were out of breath.
The more this happened, the more convinced the Cao family was that their whereabouts had not been exposed, and several people from other directions also rushed here desperately.
After Cao Qiudao met with several family members, he asked: "What's going on?"
One of them replied: "Ji Jie is facing the Luofeng Valley in the east. The prey there is famous for its fatness. The hunters nearby know it. He must have learned about this situation from the side!"
"Okay, we must kill him today!" Cao Qiudao said with great confidence, "Ji Jie's death will not only restore the prestige of my Cao family, but also bring it to a higher level. Children, come on!"
Luofeng Valley is more than 20 miles away from the Zhou army camp. Even if Ji Jie sends a rescue signal, reinforcements cannot arrive within an hour and a half. His twenty guards are no match for the direct descendants of the Cao family, let alone It was during a surprise attack.
Ji Jie ordered everyone not to look back while running, and to act as if they could not wait to rush to Luofeng Valley.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Jie led the crowd to stand at the mouth of the valley and dived in without making any pause.
After Cao Qiudao arrived here, he reined in the reins and stood there for a few seconds. Except for a flock of frightened birds that flew out from time to time, the entire valley was very quiet. He waved his hand: "Children, follow me in and kill!"
The Cao family's children clamored and followed Cao Qiudao to fight in. Luo Feng Valley was different from ordinary valleys in that it was transparent at both ends. This was a Bottle Valley with a dead end. If you wanted to get out, you had to go back the same way, so there was no need to worry about Ji Jie. Escape from another way.
After turning a corner, Cao Qiudao saw Ji Jie sitting on the horse with a smile.
"Ji Jie, let's see where you can run today!" Cao Qidao drew his long sword and rushed over.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Countless crossbow arrows fell from the sky. Cao Qiudao and his disciples quickly reined in their horses, and the horses suddenly stopped charging forward. The crossbow arrows were nailed directly in front of them very close to them.
"Cao Qiudao, congratulations!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "You fell into the trap I set again!"
After saying that, he clapped his palms three times. The stone walls on both sides were crowded with people. Ji Jie had ambushed no less than three thousand people here, all of whom were masters of archery.
"Even if I fall into your trap, can you keep me?" Cao Qiudao was trying to encourage himself and the people around him, meaning don't panic, because the worst thing is how we got here and how are we going to get out!
"Dream on, I won't give you a second chance!" As soon as Ji Jie finished speaking, a loud noise came from the mouth of the valley, followed by the sound of large rocks falling to the ground.
Cao Qiudao was shocked. Oops, the entrance to the valley must have been blocked by falling rocks!
"We are old acquaintances, and I won't be polite to you!" Ji Jie did not forget to tease Cao Qiu, and then gave the order: "Set an arrow and shoot them into hedgehogs for me!"
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at once. At first, the Cao family's group could protect themselves with weapons and knock down the incoming crossbow arrows one by one. However, as time went by, except for Cao Qiudao, several other people were hit by arrows one after another. .
The first Cao family boy fell off his horse. In fact, he was already dead before he fell, but crossbow arrows kept hitting him. At first glance, he looked like a hedgehog.
"I'll fight with you!" Cao Qiudao waved his sword and clapped his horse and rushed towards Ji Jie.
As soon as Cao Qiudao's horse took a few steps forward, it fell to the ground with a "thud". No matter how good Cao Qiudao's skills are, you can only guarantee that you will not be hit by the crossbow. As for the horse under the butt, it is not so lucky.
Cao Qiudao rolled on the ground, then jumped up quickly. Before he could stand firm, crossbow arrows were fired at him.
"Plop...Plop..."
Two more disciples fell off their horses, then the fourth, the fifth...
The corner of Ji Jie's mouth raised slightly. It could be seen that the helpers brought by Cao Qiudao this time were stronger than the last assassination team. If they fight alone, Zhao Ling and Ji Jian may not be their opponents. It's a pity that they have no chance to show off. A chance to show off your powerful martial arts skills!
The last one also fell off the horse. The eight corpses were filled with crossbow arrows. Cao Qiudao's left arm and right leg were also shot, and his movements were not as flexible as before.
"Stop!" Ji Jie shouted, and the arrows stopped suddenly, giving Cao Qiudao a chance to breathe.
"It turns out that the god of luck is on my side once again!" Ji Jie said neither fast nor slow: "I want to give you a more dignified way to die. If you can't do it, of course
I will still help you!"
Cao Qiudao's face was ashen, and he slowly put the sword across his neck.
