Before the two of them could catch their breath, a group of men in black suddenly jumped out of the woods and rushed over without saying a word.
The horse racer did not carry any weapons, and Mu Yunzhu only had a whip in her hand.
Just as she was about to fight with all her might, the sound of something breaking through the air was heard at high speed, and countless arrows shot out from the other side, catching the men in black off guard.
Saved!
Mu Yunzhu looked up in surprise, but did not see the archer. Instead, Xiao Li took out a set of bows and arrows from somewhere and shot arrows at the nearby men in black one by one.
"Where did you get the bow and arrow?"
Mu Yunzhu rode over on horseback. The other eight people were isolated ten meters away, so she could only stay next to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li took the time to look at her and said, "They are coming for me. If you don't want to die, run away."
Mu Yunzhu clenched the whip tightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed: "Don't say such nonsense at this time. Running away will only lead to death faster."
Xiao Li laughed, and saw the man in black appear again from the corner of his eye. He grabbed the reins and said, "In that case, follow me."
Mu Yunzhu immediately followed, and the two of them ran from the small path in the woods to the dense forest on the back mountain. Along the way, they were whipped by the branches on the roadside, and they didn't dare to stop even though their cheeks were painful and bleeding.
Mu Yunzhu looked back and saw ghostly shadows chasing after her on the tree trunks. There was also the sound of horse hooves behind her. There were definitely a lot of pursuers.
Mu Yunzhu didn't know if anyone wanted to kill her, but she was sure that they must be here to kill Xiao Li.
Who on earth had Princess Xuanyang provoked? They were just trying to kill her, yet they had to resort to such a drastic measure.
I kind of regret not running away just now, but it's too late to say anything now.
The two ran as hard as they could and ran for about five miles. Seeing that the people behind them were about to be left behind, Xiao Li suddenly pulled the reins.
Mu Yunzhu subconsciously stopped and was about to ask questions when the thorns on both sides of the bushes were lifted up, revealing an entrance for the horse to pass through.
"Go in quickly."
Xiao Li took Mu Yunzhu in, and she saw that there was a deep pit behind the shield, which completely blocked the horse after it entered.
Next to the entrance is a stone platform with metal shields inlaid on it.
Two rows of soldiers, about fifty or sixty people, were lying on it, holding something in their hands, ready for battle.
Mu Yunzhu saw the pursuers coming through a crack in a stone. They followed the horse hoof prints to the thorns and approached cautiously with weapons in hand. In an instant, the sound of rapid breaking through the air rang out one after another.
Mu Yunzhu didn't even see what was happening, and all the pursuers who were close to her were killed.
She suddenly turned around and looked at the soldiers lying there. Each of them was holding a weapon that looked like a bow but was smaller than a bow and much thicker.
Quickly switched a box and then lay back down.
Mu Yunzhu immediately recognized it as a crossbow, a repeating crossbow at that.
The crossbow is not a rare weapon, but due to its special structure, its range and power are not as good as the longbow, so its scope of use is not wide.
The crossbow is not advantageous at long distances, but it is fast and accurate at close ranges. However, it has a fatal flaw, which is that it requires replacing arrows one by one.
The distance is too short. By the time you can exchange it, the enemies have already come to kill you.
But what they used was a repeating crossbow, which could fire twelve arrows at a time and change the quiver at the same time, and the speed was no slower than drawing a bow.
This thing is simply invincible when used for assassination.
The crossbows took care of a group of enemies that were close by, and the killers in the woods also came quickly. This time all the soldiers switched to bows and arrows.
The longbow was like a full moon, and sixty people pulled the bows, directly covering it with a rain of arrows.
Mu Yunzhu was confused by this scene. Xuan Yang clearly knew that these things would happen and had made preparations long ago.
No wonder she said she wanted to race horses with Xiao Li, Xiao Li ignored her at all.
A group of killers died, and the remaining few saw that the situation was not good and turned around immediately.
Mu Yunzhu: "They left."
Xiao Li looked up at her when he had time. Although he didn't say anything, Mu Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat. At that glance, she felt like she had become a dead person in her eyes.
It was also at this time that she realized that all the people here were Xiao Li's men, there was an unknown enemy in front of her, and she was alone.
If Xiao Li killed her and said it was those assassins who killed her, then she...
"Xuan Yang... I am the Princess of Chi Rong. If anything happens to me, Chi Rong will definitely send their army to attack..."
"I know." Xiao Li interrupted her: "Although I don't care, I will let you live."
Mu Yunzhu was speechless for a moment. It was a good thing that Xiao Li didn't kill her. She should relax. But Xiao Li in this state made her feel extremely dangerous, as if she was facing a ferocious beast that was stretching its body and could pounce on her and give her a fatal bite at the next moment.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A subtle vibration sound came, and Mu Yunzhu immediately pricked up her ears: "It's the cavalry."
There are quite a few people.
Turning around, I saw Xiao Li also listening with his eyes closed.
In less than a moment, a huge cavalry appeared here, estimated to be at least 500 people, and they directly surrounded the place, but were cautious not to step into the range of crossbows.
Shields blocked the front, archers in the back drew their bows, and the cavalry was even more murderous and ready to go.
The atmosphere is tense and the battle is about to break out.
The enemy cavalry separated from each other, and a young man came forward on horseback, staring at a hidden thorn bush with hatred in his eyes.
"Xiao Xuanyang, I know you're in there. You killed my brother and harmed my wife. You're cruel and vicious, and you've committed countless evil deeds. Why don't you come out and die?"
The person chasing her was actually Lu Chengzhi. She could tell that he really hated her and couldn't wait to kill her.
