The warhorse under Yuan Xi's crotch stumbled and was about to fall.
The warhorse was exhausted, and so was Yuan Xi, so his reaction was a little slow. When the warhorse was about to fall to the ground, he only had time to pull his body up and rolled to the ground with the horse.
Sun Li and his personal guards were shocked and quickly jumped off their horses and helped Yuan Xi up. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
Sun Li thought to himself that the young master had been running day and night for two days and even the horse couldn't hold on!
Yuan Xi changed to the horse brought by the soldier and asked, "How long will it take to get to Huaicheng?"
Sun Li calculated and said, "It's probably less than a hundred miles away."
Yuan Xi shook his head, thinking that this was already the fastest speed. If it went any faster, both the men and the horses would be exhausted.
Hua Tuo came over at this time, handed over a pill, and said: "This will hurt the root, take this first."
Yuan Xi didn't ask what it was, he just ate it, got on his horse, and said, "Keep going!"
Sun Li couldn't help but say, "Sir, the soldiers are also very tired."
The guards around him said in unison: "We are not tired!"
Yuan Xi felt guilty and jumped off his horse, saying, "Rest here for 25 minutes."
After hearing this, the guards tied their horses to the side of the road, took out some bread from their bags and ate a few bites. They divided into groups of five, leaving one person to keep sentry while the others leaned against tree trunks and fell asleep instantly.
When Yuan Xi saw this, he sighed, took out some dry food, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it with water. After two days of running around, he was almost at his limit.
But the reason why he was so anxious was that he understood that Cao Cao abandoned Chenliu and went straight to Hedong, and he must be planning to attack the emperor!
With Cao Cao's wisdom, he would most likely plan ahead for the threatening Lu Bu. If something happened to Lu Bu, it would be difficult for Zhao Yun and Ju Shou, the isolated army, to play a role, and they might even be in danger of being annihilated by Cao's army!
Moreover, Qu Yi in Huaicheng might also be implicated, and Qu Yi's physical condition also made Yuan Xi extremely worried.
Yuan Xi felt guilty towards Qu Yi.
Regardless of whether Qu Yi really did anything when he was under Yuan Shao, at least he made great efforts for Yuan Xi in the past few years and never asked for any reward.
Yuan Xi thought that if he could please the emperor, he would at least help Qu Yi get a reward. But now, before he could accomplish anything, Qu Yi was seriously injured!
He closed his eyes and calmed his anxious mood, thinking that maybe things were not that bad.
Suddenly he heard the soldiers' cries. Yuan Xi opened his eyes and saw a fire snake rising slowly in the distant mountains, exploding into a huge spark in the sky.
He stood up suddenly. This was a flying monkey that only he could make!
Now, those who are carrying this thing outside are all generals under his command!
Zhao Yun, Ju Shou, or Qu Yi?
He jumped on his horse and shouted, "Follow me!"
Sun Li looked at the direction of the flames and said, "Young Master, be careful! That is the southern pass where the Black Mountain Army is. They have already entered Hanoi!"
Yuan Xi's face was full of determination. Even if Zhang Yan came in person, he would go over and find out what was going on!
With a puff, a feather arrow shot into Qu Yi's chest.
The arrow entered the flesh and was blocked by his sternum. The impact caused him to spit out a large amount of blood.
He put his hands down, looked up at the fireworks exploding in the sky, and wondered if anyone could really see these things when they were set off?
The nearest Zhao Yun and Ju Shou were also over a hundred miles away. Not to mention that he definitely couldn't be seen, even if he could be seen, it would be too late for him to get here, right?
Are you letting this thing go because you don't want to die yet?
Seeing Qu Yi's body shaky, Lu Lingqi held back tears and said, "Master, let me take over!"
Qu Yi coughed a few times and laughed: "It's too embarrassing for the master to be unable to protect his apprentice. It's not your turn yet."
He also lowered his voice, "We'll break out to a certain place later. When we get to the edge of the hill, you can roll down. There's still a chance of survival."
After Qu Yi stabbed two people to death, Yang Chou led his men to shoot arrows from a distance, and the horse pulling the cart was also shot to death.
Now there are dozens of enemies on all sides, making it impossible for Qu Yi and Lu Lingqi to use trees to block all the arrows.
Now Qu Yi was standing in front of Lu Lingqi, and he was hit by several arrows. Lu Lingqi felt very uncomfortable and choked up, "Master, don't block me!"
Qu Yi laughed at himself and said, "Who made me promise that kid to befriend Wen Hou?"
"If you make a mistake, I won't be able to explain to that kid."
Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth and said, "Hidden Tiger?"
"What did he do to deserve Master's death for him?"
Qu Yi was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Yeah, that kid is also quite mean."
"If you ask me why, maybe it's because he is the only one who treats me as a friend?"
"Although I am a rough man and I can't tell the truth from the falsehood in what he said, I am still willing to believe him."
Yang Feng led her men to guard the gate of the camp at the pass. Her last injury had not yet healed, her complexion still looked very bad, and her body had not yet fully recovered.
But the thought of her sworn brother coming to see her made her unhappy mood a little better.
Although she and her brother-in-law took completely different paths, they agreed on one thing.
The world is rotten, and the only one who can save the people is Master Meng De!
Yang Feng was adopted by the Yang family for a period of time since she was a child. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Zhang Jue's uprising, she left the Yang family and joined the rebellion.
After several years, her martial arts became more and more proficient. After Zhang Jue's death, she joined the Black Mountain Army and became the leader relying on her skills.
When the Black Mountain Army surrendered to the Han court, she was already the second most important figure after Zhang Yan and was appointed the Black Mountain Captain.
However, it was Emperor Ling of Han who was in power at the time, and the rewards were extremely hasty. They didn't even ask whether she was a man or a woman, and directly gave an official position to a woman. It can be said to be a huge joke.
However, the Montenegrin Army was not very disciplined, and she had a very high prestige in Montenegro. Who would go to the Han court to report this?
Yang Feng had been in Montenegro for a long time. One day, a Taoist priest came from outside and brought a letter.
Yang Feng opened the letter and found that it was written by Yang Chou, his sworn brother who he was quite familiar with when he was a child!
Many things in the letter were about their childhood experiences, which could not be fake. Yang Feng was overjoyed that they could be in touch again after 20 years.
Yang Chou said in the letter that he was now working under Zhang Yang, the governor of Henei, but Zhang Yang's ability was limited, as was Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army.
He now wants to do great things and assist his true lord!
During this period, Yang Chou secretly came to Heishan several times and had secret meetings with Yang Feng. He revealed that the lord he had surrendered to was Cao Cao, Cao Mengde.
Yang Chou said that in Tianshi Dao, Cao Cao was already ranked as a true man, and was sent down by God to save the people in distress. Yang Feng already believed in Tianshi Dao, so she had naturally heard of Cao Cao's status in it. When she began to understand what Cao Cao had done, she began to be persuaded by Yang Chou.
When Yang Chou met Yang Feng for the last time, he angrily said, "Yuan family is a vicious tiger, and his behavior is vile and despicable. He even dared to steal the position of a real person!"
"The Yuan family is now plotting something evil and is actually trying to seize the throne of the emperor. This is going against the will of heaven. This vicious tiger of the Yuan family is even more sinister. He is using rumors to hype himself up as a real person. This is really disrespectful to the Heavenly Master!"
"If such people survive in this world, they will destroy the Heavenly Master Sect sooner or later!"
After hearing this, Yang Feng suddenly realized, "No wonder there are rumors about Heishan and people keep fleeing to Youzhou. It turns out that this vicious tiger from the Yuan family is the cause!"
"The harvest was bad this year, so I thought they would just run away. People have to eat. I didn't expect it was this vicious tiger who spread rumors and deceived them!"
Yang Chou sneered: "That's right!"
"This vicious tiger is full of lies. He tricked people into going to Youzhou. In fact, he is no different from a slave!"
"I heard that many people were forced to work until late at night and died of exhaustion!"
With a bang, Yang Feng angrily punched the table in front of him, "This vicious tiger is so heartless, if I meet him, I will kill him as soon as possible!"
She trusted Yang Chou very much. He was her sworn brother, so why would he lie to her?
Yang Feng collected his thoughts, touched his thigh which was still aching, and felt hatred in his heart. He was just one step away from killing that damned tiger!
Once I recover from my injuries, I will find him sooner or later and fight him to the death!
She raised her head to look at the sun, and thought to herself, it's already this time, why is Yang Chou still nowhere to be seen?
Nothing will happen along the way, right?
As she was thinking, she saw a tiny flame rising up into the sky and forming a huge flower in the air. It shone for several breaths before gradually dimming.
The soldiers around Yang Feng exclaimed, they had never seen anything like this!
Someone asked, "Is this a vision from heaven?"
Someone asked in confusion: "Isn't it a rocket?"
Then someone immediately retorted, "A rocket shot into the sky will fall down, how can it turn into a flower?"
Everyone was talking about it, but Yang Feng's body was shaking. How could this be so similar to the thing that exploded in his ear that day?
The place where the fire rose was in the direction of Huaicheng. Could it be related to Yang Chou?
She immediately jumped on her horse and said to everyone, "Come on, let's go and take a look!"
After hearing this, all the men followed and rode their horses towards the place where the flames were rising.
When Qu Yi saw Yang Chou and his men approaching, he suddenly had an idea. He took out his ring-handled knife, cut the rope on the dead horse, grabbed the shaft of the carriage with both hands, and pulled the carriage wildly up the hillside.
When Yang Chou saw this, he called on everyone to shoot arrows. Lu Lingqi stood on the chariot, holding two halberds, and tried her best to block the arrows, but there were too many arrows from the opponent, and a few of them missed and hit Qu Yi.
Qu Yi staggered and was about to fall. Lu Lingqi quickly grabbed Qu Yi's shoulders and forcibly pulled him onto the carriage. However, the carriage slid down the hillside due to the forward momentum and broke into pieces at the bottom of the slope.
Qu Yi and Lu Lingqi fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Yang Chou stood at the top of the slope and laughed triumphantly. He led everyone, found a low and gentle slope, and rode their horses slowly down.
Seeing Qu Yi lying on the ground, he was still worried, so he took out his bow and arrow and shot two arrows at Qu Yi. Blood oozing out of the wound, but Qu Yi still didn't move. Only then did he feel relieved, thinking that he was probably dead!
As he walked away, he smiled at Lu Lingqi who was still struggling to get up, "Stop struggling, just surrender and you'll suffer less!"
Seeing that several halberds had fallen in the distance, he walked closer with confidence and reached out to grab Lu Lingqi who was lying on the ground.
Qu Yi suddenly jumped up, pulled out the ring-handled knife from under him, and stabbed with his backhand, poking Yang Chou's chin!
Yang Chou dodged subconsciously, the tip of the knife brushed past his cheek and knocked his helmet off!
Also flying up was one of his ears!
Yang Chou screamed loudly and crawled away!
