On the official road leading to Zhongqing City, several extremely elite cavalry spies galloped past.
At the same time, in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, several figures flashed past, and then disappeared again, without attracting the attention of the cavalry spies at all.
About half a cup of tea later, the sound of cavalry's horseshoes was heard, and there was a lot of movement.
Hundreds of elite cavalry, all wearing silver armor, with silver helmets on their heads and white feathers on both sides. When the iron hooves stepped down, the murderous aura dispersed, which was extremely frightening.
Such elite cavalry were clearly Wang Xiao's personal soldiers, the White Feather Army.
Bai Yu's army was guarding a carriage. Needless to say, it was known that this was Wang Xiao's carriage.
At this moment, in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, there was suddenly a faint sound of strings.
However, despite the huge movement of the cavalry, the subtle sounds in the dense forest were not noticed by the White Feather Army.
If anyone goes deep into the dense forest at this time, they will find that in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, there are hundreds of capable men wearing turbans and holding seedling knives in their mouths. They use their special clothes covered with vines to communicate with the surrounding trees.
Integrate into one.
"Da da da", the heavy sound of horse hooves came, which made people feel anxious.
But not only were these men unafraid, their eyes revealed a murderous intent.
In the carriage, Wang Xiao held a tortoise shell and looked at the few copper coins in front of him, his expression became extremely ugly.
Just now, he made two predictions for himself.
In this first hexagram, the hexagram image is up and down, which means that everything is blocked and disputes are inevitable. Strong measures must be taken to remove the obstacles before success can be achieved.
This first hexagram is no different from what he predicted before.
But just now, he had a sudden inspiration, and on a whim, he divined the second hexagram for himself.
But this time, the hexagram is an upper ridge and a lower gen. The ridge is water, and gen is a mountain. The mountains and rocks are rugged, and the water flow is twists and turns. Those who get this hexagram will have difficulty walking, will be stuck in a dilemma, and will suffer physically and mentally. Those who get this hexagram,
You should stop when you see any obstruction and be wise enough to protect yourself.
Wang Xiao originally wanted to seize the throne with the hope of a great victory after the great war with the Li Dynasty.
However, the news that a master suddenly appeared in the palace shocked Wang Xiao. In order to avoid trouble, he abandoned his army and returned in a hurry.
Now this hexagram, combined with what happened in the capital, made Wang Xiao's heart heavy.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao opened the carriage window and said in a deep voice:
"stop!"
When the knight of the White Feather Army accompanying the carriage heard this, he immediately shouted loudly and said:
"The Grand Master has ordered, stop!"
As soon as the military order was given, the White Feather Army immediately reined in their horses. Their military appearance was solemn and solemn, and there was not even the slightest noise or confusion. It was evident that they were well-trained.
Wang Xiao stepped out of the carriage and looked in the direction of travel, frowning.
Upper Kan and Lower Gen are the Jian hexagrams. This hexagram is the Duigong IV hexagram, which is good for traveling to the southwest but unfavorable for traveling to the northeast. However, the direction of Zhongqing City is exactly in the northeast direction at Wang Xiao's time.
Wang Xiao stood on the carriage, looking forward with his hands behind his hands, his pupils flashing with an undetectable but extremely mysterious light, and said in a deep voice:
"The two mountains here face each other, the earth's atmosphere is heavy and turbid, the terrain is closed, and there are many defects and collapses, which is the Yin land. In addition, the vegetation here is lush, and the trees are Shaoyang. When the two are combined, the Yin is strong and the Yang is weak, and there is no balance, so it becomes a Yin land.
The place of killing...send someone to investigate!"
When the commander of the Baiyu Army heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately bowed and said:
"yes!"
Then he waved his hand, and a dozen white-feathered cavalry rode forward to investigate.
At this moment, in the mountains and forests, only a sharp whistle was heard. Immediately, five or six more whistles responded.
One after another, figures suddenly jumped out of the dense forest.
The dozens of white-feathered knights who went to investigate were thrown off their horses by the figures who rushed out without checking.
There was only a "puff" sound of flesh being cut open, the knife was stained with blood, and dozens of White Feather Army knights were killed and injured immediately before they had time to react!
"Enemy attack!" the leader of the White Feather Army roared, and the knights of the White Feather Army beside him immediately heard the sound and moved. On one side of the formation, they directly surrounded Wang Xiao's carriage in the center.
Countless figures swarmed out from the dense forest, intending to attack and kill them. However, they saw that the White Feather Army had already formed a military formation in time, and the whistle just now sounded again.
Then various whistles echoed, and the assassins who had just rushed towards this place heard the sound, and immediately turned around and dispersed into the dense forest very quickly.
These assassins, in terms of their appearance and weapons, should all come from local tribes. The people of these tribes grew up in the mountains and flew like flying in the mountains and fields.
As soon as he entered the dense forest, he was like a dragon entering the sea, his body was very fast. With the special clothes on his body, he perfectly blended into the forest.
In the dense forests on both sides of the official road, there was no trace of the assassin. Only the sound of rattling ropes kept coming, reminding everyone that the assassin was still there.
For a moment, the dense mountain forest in front of us seemed to be lurking a ferocious beast, glaring eagerly, with murderous intent revealed. Even the white-feathered soldiers who sat down on their war horses snorted uneasily.
"There are many assassins, please retreat temporarily!" the commander of the Baiyu Army immediately said to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao's face turned even colder and he scolded sternly:
"If someone wants to kill me, will they just send these people? There must be experts ambushing me in the rear, waiting for me to abandon the army and flee..."
Having said this, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and said with great determination:
"The entire army is on horseback. Ignore these assassins and charge straight towards them!"
He, Wang Xiao, is a member of the Yin Yang family. But compared to the Taoist theory of conforming to the way of heaven, what the Yin Yang family pursues is to follow the trend and guide the power of heaven and earth, rather than blindly obey.
Even if the world warns him, he will try his best to keep his ambition!
When the commander of the Baiyu Army heard Wang Xiao's order, he didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he quickly raised his hands and said:
"We will not let the Grand Master down... The whole army mounts up to protect the Grand Master!"
Immediately, the masters from Taishifu who were following him gave up their horses. Wang Xiao abandoned the carriage, got on his horse, and with the support of a group of cavalry, rushed straight ahead.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the cavalry spies, these assassins did not do anything on the road ahead.
The horses under the White Feather Army were all good horses. This group of assassins did not expect that Wang Xiao would dare to kill forward so boldly that they were caught off guard.
No matter how fast these assassins run through the mountains and forests, they are still not as fast as a galloping war horse.
When Wang Xiao was seen walking away, a sword light suddenly flashed between the mountains and forests.
The master of Taishi Mansion was immediately startled and reacted very quickly. He jumped up from his horse and threw Wang Xiao off his horse.
The sword light was swift and its power was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it came with the force of thunder.
There was only a roar, and the sword energy was raging. The war horse that Wang Xiao was originally riding on and the several white-feathered knights who were guarding him felt like they had been slashed by a long knife under the sword light. Their bodies were separated and blood spattered all over the ground.
