Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapter Consort
Lao Zeng is gone.
Returning the same way with regrets and the unwritten imperial edict.
Sun Mingfeng and others stood a few steps away from Liu Mingzhi, looking at Liu Mingzhi standing in the middle of the official road watching the lonely figure of Lao Zeng and a group of young eunuchs go away. They pursed their lips, wanting to say something but finally did not speak.
"Do you think we can survive the storm today?"
When Sun Mingfeng and others, who were full of questions, heard Liu Mingzhi's words, Liu Mingzhi had already rushed towards the carriage.
"Continue your journey."
"Your Majesty has ordered us to continue our journey."
Sun Mingfeng and others looked at each other, got on their horses and continued on their way.
The sun has already set in the west, and Manager Zeng has delayed us for so long. If we don't hurry up and wait until the city gate is closed, the brothers will have to sleep in the open air today.
It was extremely cold at night in the wild. Although they had stayed there many times, they could of course choose to recuperate in a warm inn.
When the last ray of sunset fell, night gradually enveloped the earth.
On the silent official road, hundreds of plain-clothed men without a trace on the snow rushed towards the team.
The soldiers and horses who were hurrying on their way immediately grabbed the reins of the horses and looked at the hundreds of plain-clothed men with bamboo hats pouring out from the forest on the west side of the official road. They quickly took off the hand crossbows from behind and stared at the hundreds of people gradually.
The approaching man in plain clothes raised his hand crossbow.
"How bold, He Fang Xiaoxiao, actually collided with the side-by-side king's carriage, retreat quickly, otherwise you will not be shot."
Hundreds of figures ignored the warnings of the front-guard soldiers and still used their mysterious body skills to rush towards the front of the team.
He revealed his weapon in the still dark night.
When Sun Mingfeng and the others saw the cold glinting weapons in the hands of the men in plain clothes, they immediately mounted their horses and charged, triggering the crossbows in their hands without hesitation.
The hand crossbows of thousands of soldiers in the vanguard created a curtain of arrows and covered the man in black.
"The soldiers and horses of the central army protected the prince's carriage, and the soldiers and horses of the rear army came to surround and kill this group of rebels who dared to cause trouble."
Since Fengyundu receives traveling merchants all year round, the vast open space provides a perfect place for the war horses to attack and make circuitous routes.
When the arrows from the serial hand crossbows were fired, the thousands of cavalrymen who rushed forward immediately picked up the iron-tied bows in their hands and began to bend the bows and arrows, and shot at the hundreds of unidentified mobs.
There was a clanging sound, and when they saw the inner strength emerging from all the plain-clothed men blocking the rain of arrows created by the iron-tied bows, Sun Mingfeng, Tao Li, and the others were startled, and looked a little stunned.
I thought it was a group of rabble-rousers who dominated the mountain, but now it seems that I and others are blind.
These people are all top-notch masters, otherwise they would never be able to gather their inner energy to block the arrows.
"Qin Guang, you command the rear army troops and horses to cooperate with me to outflank them, surround them in the formation and continue to cover them with arrows. I want to see how many times the internal strength of these thieves can withstand the arrow rain."
"yes!"
"Ye Jinghui, lead the Chinese army to protect the prince's safety. If the prince loses a hair, the brothers will fight against you."
"I understand, please be careful. This group of thieves is not simple. They are all top-notch masters. They use arrows to attack from a distance. Do not engage in close combat."
"clear!"
Following the command of Sun Mingfeng and other personal soldiers and generals, the glorious Fengyundu was instantly filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Those who can serve as personal soldiers are all the best among the best selected from 300,000 cavalrymen.
Even if the opponent is a top-notch master in the martial arts world, these soldiers will not be afraid at all.
The horses galloped, weaving formations that belonged only to the frontier troops to cover up the enemy, and gradually surrounded the hundreds of plain-clothed men, blocking their attempts to rush and kill the prince's carriage.
The rain of arrows continued to cover the man in plain clothes in the middle who was exuding internal energy.
Finally, he was covered by the sixth wave of arrows.
A muffled sound of pain came from the men in plain clothes. The phoenix feather arrows belonging to the border troops penetrated the inner energy of several men in plain clothes and penetrated directly into their bodies.
There were many top-notch masters among the soldiers. With the cooperation of the brothers, they drew their swords and charged towards the men in plain clothes who were surrounded by them.
It is unrealistic that every soldier is a sharpshooter.
However, it is not difficult to use arrows to disrupt the enemy's position without accidentally damaging your own robe.
Under the pressure of the rain of arrows, hundreds of high-ranking soldiers surrounded and killed hundreds of plain-clothed men.
The sounds of fighting and clashing of weapons were instantly heard at Fengyun Ferry.
Liu Mingzhi was sitting in the carriage, listening to the shouts of death and the sounds of weapons clashing around him, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, he let out a gentle breath, and got out of the carriage.
Ye Jinghui was paying attention to the surrounding situation. Hearing the sound of Liu Mingzhi jumping off the carriage, he hurriedly dismounted and ran towards Liu Mingzhi.
"My lord, you are frightened, but please rest assured, lord, a group of about a hundred thieves is nothing to worry about. Sun Mingfeng and the others will be able to end the battle soon."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Ye Jinghui, who looked slightly relaxed, but did not answer. He raised his eyes and looked around Fengyundu.
Keeping his gaze on the mountains and forests that echoed the Fengyundu River for a while, Liu Mingzhi tightened his cloak and walked forward.
Ye Jinghui immediately stopped in front of Liu Mingzhi, shaking his head with a solemn look.
"No, Your Majesty. Although there are only about a hundred thieves, we have to be careful that there are desperadoes among them. Your Majesty, it is better not to take risks."
"I know, but don't forget that I also have considerable strength."
"this........"
"Jing Hui, don't worry, I will get back immediately if I sense something is wrong!"
"Okay, but I will have to stay with you!"
"Well, let's go together."
The two of them moved forward, and the soldiers guarding them on both sides immediately turned their horses and changed their formations, guarding Liu Mingzhi all the way.
As soon as they reached the vanguard, the shouts of Sun Mingfeng and Qin Guang were heard.
"Brothers, keep suppressing the rain of arrows and kill these daring guys."
Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at the chaotic battlefield with strong winds ahead, his eyes a little gloomy.
More than a dozen soldiers fell off their horses and lay motionless in the snow nest, their life or death unknown.
Beside them were a dozen plain-clothed men with arrows stuck in their chests, rolling and moaning in pain.
Liu Mingzhi quietly held the hilt of the sword. Before Ye Jinghui and the others could react, a fierce sword intent burst out from Liu Mingzhi.
While Sun Mingfeng was stunned, Liu Mingzhi, who was standing on the same spot, left an afterimage and shot towards the battlefield.
The sword energy condensed all over the body, and the heavenly sword emitted a cheerful sword chant.
Under the stunned eyes of the soldiers, blood sprayed on the snow.
Several men in black had their throats sealed with a sword, and fell softly in the snow with unwilling eyes.
"Brothers, this is a tough idea, so withdraw."
The remaining plain-clothed men put away their weapons and flew back, using their light skills to leap out of the encirclement of the soldiers and leap towards the mountains and forests to the west.
"Chase!"
Liu Mingzhi put away the Heavenly Sword, stared at the backs of the men in plain clothes and raised his arms.
"Don't chase poor enemies. Cavalry is not suitable for fighting in mountains and forests, in case there is an ambush."
Although Sun Mingfeng and the others were not willing to give in, they also knew why Lin Mo entered and immediately stopped the brothers around them who wanted to pursue him.
"Stop chasing in case you fall into the trap."
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze and walked toward the man in plain clothes who was struggling on the ground with a gloomy face.
However, in the astonished eyes of Liu Mingzhi and others, the people in plain clothes who were still struggling saw Liu Mingzhi and his party walking away and immediately slapped their own Yintang with both hands, killing them instantly.
Sun Mingfeng and the others immediately protected Liu Mingzhi.
"My lord, be careful, they are all dead soldiers!"
Liu Mingzhi sheathed his sword with slightly focused eyes.
"Treat the injured brother immediately."
"Got the order!"
Sun Mingfeng and the other commanders dismounted their troops and began to treat the injured brothers.
Liu Mingzhi walked towards these men in plain clothes, leaned over and groped around on them, but found nothing.
After looking over the man in plain clothes for a while, Liu Mingzhi's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
If you don't have a dragon tattoo, you are not a spy.
"Your Majesty!"
"What happened? How many brothers were injured or killed?"
Sun Mingfeng and the others looked at each other and lowered their heads sadly: "Seventeen people were all killed on the spot, and there was no way to save them! This group of thieves were so powerful that the brothers managed to break through their shields by using up arrows.
The physical strength is strong, but as soon as they get close to them, they are attacked by both men and horses..."
"We carried the bodies of our brothers into the capital on a wooden frame. I must give them an explanation!"
"Got the order!"
"Alas... Prince Consort, this old slave is so polite!"
Liu Mingzhi's body trembled, and he subconsciously looked towards the front of the official road. As the night became increasingly hazy, dozens of figures on horseback slowly drove away.
