Chapter 371: Step over my dead body first
No one spoke on the other side for a while.
Wenren Jing looked coldly at the man who called himself Broken Blade.
Fang remembered that after Yuan Yao's entire family was executed, they were exiled and stayed there for many years.
Ten years ago, Emperor Hongde sent a large army to Changjing to capture Yuan Yao, and the mob in the exile area even traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to rescue him.
Their friendship is evident from this.
"Old man, take the children and go first." Duan Dao didn't waste time looking at Wen Renjing. He turned his head and said to the old man, "Don't be stubborn. Not all the masters of Beixiang have been dispatched yet. Bai Yu... is injured."
Du Buqin's heart trembled, knowing that Duan Dao was not only talking about Bai Yu, but also Tian Bao.
Tianbao seemed to be acting strangely just now, there might be something going on.
"Don't die here, it will be difficult to collect your body!" After giving the instructions, the old man took the children away without saying a word.
Seeing the person who was about to be caught walk away under their noses, Ji Xintang and Feiyun both looked anxious.
They wanted to give chase, but they didn't dare to act on their own without the prince's order.
Duan Dao then turned back to look at the gloomy King of Mobei, "King Mobei, you should be aware of how many men you have lost this time. Let us go, and we can still preserve our talents."
"If the king won't let go, so what!"
"No, step over my dead body first."
The wind at the mouth of the valley is colder than inside the valley.
The cold wind blew across the rock wall, and each sound was like the howling of a ghost.
The two hostile parties stood face to face, and the situation was ready to break out at any time.
At this moment, the flowing air seemed to be frozen and condensed by something.
Duan Dao held Qinglong Yan and retreated step by step. The sole of his shoe stepped on a hard object and he stepped over it.
Wen Renjing's gaze fell on that place, and his eyes and heart tightened.
That was the severed tip of his Hongyuan Sword.
Wen Renjing raised his eyes, stood where he was, and watched the man gradually disappear from his sight. He did not immediately give the order to chase him.
"Your Highness?!" Ji Xintang was extremely anxious. "Why don't you chase them? We have many people, and the entire valley is well-defended! With just one order from you, none of them will be able to escape!"
"If I were not here, I could chase you immediately." Wen Ren Jing closed his eyes and exhaled.
He missed the target by one move.
I didn't expect Yuan Yao to dare to come to rescue alone. I didn't expect him to come.
From the moment Yuan Yao appeared, the whole situation changed.
Su Jiuni was still able to fight him to a draw, and with Yuan Yao added to the mix, the final result would surely be that Wen Renjing would become a hostage in the hands of the other side.
The King of Mobei cannot fall to that point, otherwise the prestige of the entire Beixiang country will be damaged.
Everything that had happened during the past half day flashed through Wen Ren Jing’s mind.
The sharpshooters and the four-gate formation were completely useless to Su Jiuni and his group. They didn't even cause them any damage. Instead, Beixiang lost batches of people.
If Bai Yu hadn't risked his life to get the things, he wouldn't have had the chance to hurt him at all.
After the murderous intent that had descended upon him vanished, Wen Renjing opened his eyes and said, "Send a signal to the leaders of the eight nations to begin the encirclement and suppression."
"Yes!" Ji Xintang didn't hesitate and immediately sent out a signal flare. "Don't worry, Your Highness! The masters from the eight nations have all gathered near Tianfeng Mountain and are hiding in various dark corners. Yuan Yao, Su Jiuni and the others can't escape Mingyue Gorge!"
Wenren Jing didn't say anything.
He didn't believe in anything certain until he got the results.
Those things on Su Jiuni seemed to be able to be reversed at any time.
When Duan Dao caught up with the group, the old man and the children were halfway to Mingyue Gorge.
Bai Yu was stabbed in the chest, but fortunately he applied medicine in time and the bleeding had stopped. However, half of his white clothes was stained with blood, which looked a little scary.
"After crossing the rope bridge, I have prepared horses at Mingyue Gorge. We must leave Shu Road as soon as possible and cannot wait for the main forces of the nine countries to gather." Duan Dao carried Bai Yu on his back, his steps steady and unaffected.
"That Wenren Jing is the most sinister bastard I've ever met! Even worse than Bai Xiaofeng!" The old man cursed and asked, "Why are you here? I thought you were so happy in Changjing that you had forgotten all about us!"
"Knowing that you have come to Shudao, I have requested permission to lead the troops to garrison the border, so that you won't be unable to return home." Duan Dao raised the corner of his lips.
The kid on my back was breathing steadily and his injuries were not serious.
Don't worry.
He was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield.
"Bah! Who has a home that they can't return to? If you hadn't come, I would have turned them all into rotten meat!" The old man was not convinced.
"Wenren Jing is not that easy to deal with. Your poison won't work when the wind is strong. Yan Gu is good against you."
"..." Du Buqin felt that Duan Dao came here to ridicule him, and he raised his foot to kick him in the butt.
Looking at the brat still on someone's back, he retracted his foot.
"Uncle Duan Dao, since you led the troops to station at the border, why did you come to Shu Road? How did you know we were in Yangu?" Tian Bao suppressed the blood boiling in his heart and spoke as if nothing had happened.
Broken Blade glanced at her with a smile, "Want to know? Why don't you guess?"
The three brothers of the Su family said, "Uncle Broken Blade, you were not like this before!"
Uncle Duan Dao once said that he never plays tricks on people!
"It's been so long since we last met. I miss you guys. Why can't we just joke around?"
Xiaomai Spi pushed past the three of them and scampered to the front, putting her head close to the man. "Are you Uncle Duan Dao? I'm Xiaomai Spi! My father is Huo Ziheng, and my mother is Huo Ah-Hsien! I've heard your name for ten years! But today is the first time I've seen you. Uncle Duan Dao looks so handsome!"
Bing'er squeezed out and nodded again and again, "Heroic! Awesome!"
Du Buqin's triangular eyes rolled up to the sky, "Two little flatterers!"
"Hahaha!"
The depressing atmosphere caused by Bai Yu's injury faded away silently as the old and young reminisced about the past.
Bai Yu quietly opened one eye on the man's shoulder and poked the girl next to him with his lowered hand.
Being ignored.
Poke again.
And was ignored.
When he wanted to poke him again, the girl looked over at him calmly, with a faint dark aura on her face.
Bai Yu immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be unconscious, and let out two groans of pain.
He took risks without authorization and annoyed Tianbao.
Oh no!
The nine people talked as they walked, not slowing down at all.
There were sounds of pursuers everywhere behind them, so they had to get through Mingyue Gorge as quickly as possible to be safer.
The sky gradually darkened.
It was already late afternoon when we reached the other side of Mingyue Gorge, and it was about to get dark.
The water of the Jiahe River was still surging, and the cable bridge above was swaying in the air.
The bridge was deserted.
"Could there be something strange? Will they do something to the bridge? When I walk on it, it will suddenly break with a snap, and then we will all die in the river! This way of dying is too unheroic, I don't like it!" Su Wu stood at the bridgehead, hesitating.
Broken Blade slapped his head with his big palm, "You won't die if you go there now, but you may not die later."
"What do you mean?" The silly boy was full of questions.
Tian Bao spoke up and cleared up his confusion, "Uncle Broken Blade, the person who notified you was Mo Liren."
