"Master, we are not familiar with the terrain here, should we still pursue it?"
Bai Xiao couldn't help but ask when he saw Jun Lingyun standing for a long time without giving any orders.
Jun Lingyun looked around again. Behind them was a dense forest and in front of them was a swamp. He didn't know how big the swamp was.
This place seemed to be a good place for an ambush. If he was Dongfang Muze, he would have stopped running if he knew he couldn't escape. He would have found a good place along the way and ambushed the enemy.
It seems that Dongfang Muze has made a lot of preparations in advance for this operation.
Seeing Jun Lingyun looking around, Bai Xiao and the attendants understood. They all followed their master through life and death on the battlefield. There was still a tacit understanding.
Everyone pulled out their swords and guarded Jun Lingyun vigilantly.
You can't hide people in a swamp, but you can in a dense forest. But with the keen sense of the few of them, especially the master, it is impossible to ambush them within a hundred meters without being discovered.
Jun Lingyun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the cliff a hundred meters to the north.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
At the moment he raised his eyes, from the cliff, a silver light suddenly flashed across the sky like a shooting star.
"Go south!"
Jun Lingyun shouted sharply, and Bai Xiao and others saw dense crossbow arrows falling from the sky. Without enough time to bring their horses, several people flew up and retreated quickly.
In two breaths, they had retreated tens of meters, but they still did not leave the range of the crossbow arrows. They saw that the heavy and fast crossbow arrows had already flown in front of them.
Several people found a strong tree to hide behind. Behind them, there was the pitiful neighing of horses, accompanied by the sound of arrows hitting the wood, which made them feel lingering fear.
If such a lethal crossbow arrow was blocked with a sword, the end would probably not be any better than that of the tree.
When the movement was over, Jun Lingyun looked around and asked:
"Is everything okay?"
“I’m okay with you!” “I’m okay with you!”…
A response came from behind the trees.
Jun Lingyun frowned, one was missing!
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu!"
The attendants have discovered that the tree Lao Liu was looking for was not thick enough. After being penetrated by the arrow, it penetrated Lao Liu's chest. Fortunately, it was the right chest, so there should be no danger to his life for the time being.
But Lao Liu was stunned by the huge force and hung on the tree. If there were another wave of such powerful crossbow arrows, Lao Liu would be in danger.
"Don't move!"
Seeing that they all wanted to expose themselves and save Lao Liu, Jun Lingyun gave a stern order.
The other party cannot see anyone and will not act rashly. After all, this kind of top-quality crossbow arrows are also very precious.
Jun Lingyun observed the trees around Lao Liu and clenched the cold light sword in his hand.
Bai Xiao became anxious when he saw this.
"Master, let me go down."
"Shut up. If you dare to disobey the order, don't follow me anymore."
Just under the noses of Bai Xiao and his attendants, Jun Lingyun ducked and came to Lao Liu's side. He supported Lao Liu with one hand and raised the cold light with the other, then cut it against the bark of the tree. Unexpectedly, it was not cut off?
At the same time, another crossbow arrow with the same power fell from the sky.
"master!"
The eyes of Bai Xiao and his attendants were about to burst. Just when they were about to use their flesh and blood to block the crossbow arrows and protect Jun Lingyun and Lao Liu, Jun Lingyun raised the cold light again and directly hit the tree where Lao Liu was fixed.
The entrance to the arrow was cut off.
He turned sideways and hid behind another, thicker tree.
Bai Xiao and the attendants breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put their heads back to hide themselves.
When the second wave of crossbow attacks ended, several people were still frightened, and the big tree behind them was already crumbling.
No one can guarantee whether there will be a third wave of attacks.
"Keep an eye on the hiding spot and retreat ten meters."
Jun Lingyun ordered, taking Lao Liu with him, and flew out first. The others followed closely. Sure enough, a third wave of crossbow arrows came.
Ten meters away, Jun Lingyun and others stood upright, looking at the crossbow arrows that flew in front of them and plunged into the ground.
Lao Shi sighed.
"What a generous act. Our Highness deserves such courtesy. It would be great if we could get those ballistae back."
Several people looked at Lao Shi together, and his old habit happened again. Lao Shi felt the oppressive gaze from his companions, and he wisely kept his mouth shut.
However, the second part of what he said is correct. There are not many ballistae with this level of lethality even on the battlefield.
Could it be that Dongfang Muze had planned to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince before he came to Yunxiao Kingdom? He was really despicable.
Bai Xiao took Laoliu from Jun Lingyun's hand, sprinkled the hemostatic powder on the wound, and tore off the hem of his clothes to bandage him.
Originally, they had brought strips of white cloth just in case, but they were all in the package, and the package was on the horse!
Jun Lingyun thought of the dried meat Chu Yunxi had prepared for him, which was also in the package. His eyes suddenly became sharper, and he looked up at the cliff in the distance.
On the cliff, Dongfang Muze suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Damn it, he had underestimated Jun Lingyun after all.
These crossbow arrows were specially made for Jun Lingyun a year in advance, so that they could be avoided by him.
Concubine Dan behind him was equally astonished. She never imagined that Yunxiao Kingdom would produce such a genius. If not, how could she choose such a path?
Her failure was all due to the appearance of Jun Lingyun. Who could have a chance of winning in a fight with such a person?
Concubine Dan automatically ignored Chu Yunxi who had imprisoned her, and asked her to admit that under her nose, Chu Yunxi, who had grown up fooled by her Xueer, had plotted against her, so she might as well kill her.
.
Dongfang Xueer was also anxious and angry, pointing at the archers.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? They've all shown up. Why don't you hurry up and do it again?"
"Why are you here? Didn't you see that they are all out of the attack range of the crossbow? Did you think that Xiao Wang's crossbow was picked up on the street?"
Dongfang Muze, who was upset, turned around and yelled at Dongfang Xueer.
When Dongfang Xueer left the capital city of Yunxiao Kingdom, she consciously changed her identity. She was now a princess. She was unruly and willful, and that was what a princess should do.
"Brother, what's the use of being mean to me? Who made you so restless! If you had followed your original plan and waited for them to fly over the swamp before attacking, wouldn't they have been unable to fly? You've wasted such a good opportunity, so
Good crossbow bolts!”
"You! Are you blind? Didn't you see that Jun Lingyun has discovered the clues? If you don't take action, let alone the swamp, they will disappear immediately under our noses. Do you believe it?"
Dongfang Muze almost slapped Dongfang Xueer in the face. Why on earth did he come to Yunxiao Kingdom to pick up such a brainless and trouble-making sister, as well as a sick mother-in-law and a concubine?
He must have been possessed by an evil spirit to make such a decision. If it hadn't come to this, Dongfang Muze would have really wanted to get his silver back and send the couple back to Jun Lingyun.
It's impossible to say that it would cause more trouble for Jun Lingyun and his princess.
If Chu Yunxi heard this idea, he would definitely praise him, he finally got the idea.
Concubine Dan and Dongfang Xueer, whoever stays with them will bring disaster to them! Unexpectedly, instead of killing them directly, they can actually help themselves. It is really a good reincarnation.
