Thinking of the teacher in Sangji City, Li Mingyue actually didn't have much emotion, as if the person who died was just a passerby who had never met him. This may be the same state of mind of every practitioner, or maybe it was Li Mingyue's original intention.
He has a cold and cold bloodline.
Li Mingyue just couldn't understand why these people would choose to die for such and such things? In his opinion, this was meaningless.
He even thought these people were a little stupid.
As she headed north, Li Mingyue soon met many people fleeing, most of whom were in a hurry. Everyone looked exhausted physically and mentally, with confused and frightened eyes.
At noon that day, the sky was dark and the air was so cold that it felt like it was about to condense. Li Mingyue found a place with little snow to rest under a tree, and at the same time took out some dry food to prepare for a meal.
Teams of refugees kept passing by this road, and no one cared about a young boy who was also on the run.
Just as Li Mingyue finished eating a piece of hard buckwheat cake and was about to continue on her way, the people who had just passed by this road ran back in a panic. They were all panic-stricken, and they were obviously in danger.
Li Mingyue hurriedly put away her things and looked ahead at the road.
There is a group of soldiers approaching here quickly. They are not many in number. They should be scattered teams from the five countries, or they may be spies from the vanguard.
At this moment, this team is hunting down the people of the Tang Dynasty, with swords raised and dropped, no matter men or women, young or old, without mercy.
Li Mingyue frowned slightly, but had no intention of helping. She followed the chaotic people back and looked for a new route to the north.
Master once said that when walking in the world, you must never do things beyond your ability. Not only will it not help you, but it will also harm yourself.
Because of this, Li Mingyue didn't understand what the teacher in Sang Jicheng did.
The current situation is beyond his ability. It is impossible for him to save so many people by himself. Instead, he will be trapped by these soldiers from the Five Nations, and may even risk his own life.
Even though my master is unconventional, what he said in a serious manner still makes some sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to ascend to immortality, right?
He ran away in extreme embarrassment. The key was that there was still a cavalry with powerful crossbows. People kept falling in response, which also made Li Mingyue suffer a lot. Fortunately, he had fought against the elites of the Tang Dynasty before, otherwise he would have been injured again.
once.
The cavalry quickly discovered Li Mingyue who was walking among the crowd. Although this man seemed young, he could skillfully avoid the arrows every time, so the cavalry immediately became interested.
Following the general's order, all the cavalry focused on Li Mingyue, and arrows like raindrops were directed towards Li Mingyue. As for the common people, they were completely left to the infantry behind.
This made Li Mingyue even more miserable. Not only did she have to run away with all her strength, but she also had to dodge the arrows. She soon became so embarrassed that she even used a dagger.
The general of this cavalry is a young man in his early twenties. His eyes were staring at Li Mingyue who was flying among the arrows, and he was even more interested. Along the way, he met ordinary people, and at first he thought it was a bit interesting.
, but later I found that it was no different from chopping melons and vegetables, so I completely lost interest. Now that I finally met someone with some skills, I naturally had to have a good time. As for whether to kill or keep after having fun, it all depends on my mood.
He laughed loudly and said: "Whoever shoots an arrow will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and whoever shoots him dead will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
With the reward in hand, these cavalrymen became even more excited and chased Li Mingyue while roaring, while not sparing any arrows in their hands.
Li Mingyue felt bitter in her heart. If this continued, he would be shot sooner or later, because no matter how fast he was, he could not outrun those well-trained war horses.
Once injured, the situation will completely change.
He glanced at the young man who gave the order. Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. As long as he subdues this person, he can use this to blackmail other soldiers and gain a chance to breathe. Or, killing him directly can also make the cavalry more capable.
Confusion arises, giving you a chance to escape.
However, Li Mingyue quickly gave up this idea, because once he missed, it would be like throwing himself into a trap, and it would be difficult to find an opportunity to escape. Moreover, once he was dragged, there would be no possibility of escape when the infantry came over.
So Li Mingyue rushed directly towards the woods on the side. With the experience last time, it was easier to escape in the woods; and once the cavalry entered the woods, their movements would be blocked. If they wanted to continue to pursue him, they would have to dismount.
Whether to escape or fight back, it will be relatively easy.
Sure enough, as Li Mingyue entered the woods, the cavalry all frowned and looked at the general.
The general's face was gloomy at this moment, and he said coldly: "Dismount and chase."
Everyone got off their horses, neatly arranged, and then jumped directly into the dense forest.
While Li Mingyue was running away, she used the dense forest to block the opponent's sight so that the advantage of the crossbow could not be used, and at the same time, she observed the changes behind her.
I have to say that this cavalry was indeed far behind compared to the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. It may also be that this cavalry did not take him seriously at all. After entering the dense forest, the formation was completely chaotic. Four or five of them were together.
Yes, there are also those who act alone.
Of course, Li Mingyue would not let go of such an opportunity. Since the other party wanted to kill him, he had no reason to make it easy for the other party, and this kind of fighting would indeed greatly improve his cultivation.
After making up his mind, he directly restrained his aura and hid under the cover of the dense forest, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Perhaps the crossbows had lost their effectiveness in the dense forest, so these soldiers put away the crossbows, pulled out the sabers at their waists, searched randomly in the forest, and used the sabers in their hands to chop down the thorns and shrubs in front of them.
"call out!"
There was a sound of breaking wind, and a soldier didn't even have time to react. His throat was directly pierced by a dagger. Blood spurted out and sprinkled on the snow that had not completely melted. It was extremely eye-catching.
Li Mingyue succeeded in the attack without stopping at all, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Soon some soldiers discovered the body of their comrade, and then more and more soldiers began to gather, and the young general also appeared, with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
He roared loudly: "Find him, I will cut him into pieces!"
A soldier said: "Sir, this man's strength is not low. Now that we are in the forest and cannot use the advantage of the cavalry, why not..."
Before he finished speaking, the young general interrupted in a deep voice: "Execute the order!"
The soldiers could only obey and continue to search for Li Mingyue, but the formation began to change. After all, someone was already dead, which was a bloody lesson.
As time went on, more and more soldiers died, and all of them were silent. The living soldiers did not even see the shadow of the young man.
If this continues, their cavalry will probably be lost here. It doesn't really matter whether they die or not. The key is that nobleman. If something happens to him, even if they are all buried with him, the family will be implicated.
At this moment, everyone's heart was shrouded in a deep haze. They never expected to encounter such a thing.
Before that, they were all lucky to be chosen by this noble man. They didn't have to go to the front line to fight. They only had to follow him and pick up the leaks from behind. They could still get military exploits. The key was safety.
This was originally a good thing that could be done once and for all, but now it has completely changed because of a young man who appeared out of nowhere.
Originally, this noble man had a powerful man who was responsible for protecting him, but he had encountered a monk from the Tang Dynasty earlier. The man was ordered to chase and kill him, and he probably wouldn't be able to reach him in a while.
Just when these soldiers were filled with misery, a shrill scream suddenly came from the dense forest, instantly pulling everyone back from their thoughts.
Needless to say, another Pao Ze fell.
Everyone held their swords and rushed directly towards the place where the sound came from. At this moment, there were only about 20 cavalrymen left among the more than 30 cavalrymen, and almost half of them were dead!
Not far away, Li Mingyue was leaning against a tree, closing her eyes and concentrating, waiting for the next opportunity to take action.
Compared with last time, this time it was indeed much easier. Li Mingyue was completely sure that all the cavalry would be left in this dense forest.
The young general looked at the corpse on the ground with extreme anger and extreme fear, because if this continued, he would probably be the next to die.
He has a noble status, so he is naturally more afraid of death than others. Others come to the Tang Kingdom to fight and make achievements, but he comes to have fun, but this time, it is obvious that he is playing too big.
But he was really unwilling to just quit like this. In his entire life, he had never experienced such cowardice. If that strong man was around, it would be easy to kill him, but he wasn't here.
Angry as he was, he had not yet lost his mind. Now it was enough to prove that the young man was definitely not human. If he separated his troops again, he would only be defeated one by one by the other party, and what awaited him would only be a dead end.
Maybe that guy was secretly staring at him at this moment, waiting for the opportunity to kill him. The reason why he didn't take action was that the other party didn't have the strength to deal with so many soldiers.
But if they get together like this, the young man will have no chance and will probably escape. Then these soldiers will really die in vain; and after returning, he will probably be ridiculed by the children of those aristocratic families for the rest of his life.
This is something he will never tolerate!
So now he must find a way, a way that can save his own life without letting the young man escape.
"Do you dare to come out and fight openly? What kind of hero can you be if you hide in the dark and make sneak attacks?" He shouted loudly to the surroundings.
People in the Tang Dynasty have always been proud, and the opponent happens to be young and frivolous, so the method of provoking generals may work.
Li Mingyue smiled and replied: "With so many of you chasing me, who can't be considered a hero?"
When the young general heard this, he felt that there was something interesting. Just as he was about to speak, Li Mingyue said first: "However, your request is not too much, so I will satisfy you."
After saying that, he jumped down from the tree and approached the soldiers step by step.
