"Brother Lin, pick up your shield and sword. Wait a moment. Don't get too far away from me."

When Zhao Yue heard Tian Qi's words, he knew something was wrong.

"Uncle Tian, ​​is it possible..."

Tian Qi nodded slightly, and his eyes glanced at several Zhuang Wei Buqu, who immediately understood what Tian Qi meant and moved closer to Zhao Yue.

In other words, there will be a fight outside this Buddhist temple?

There was a bloody fight just now, but after all, Zhao Yue did not fully participate in it, he was just a bystander.

But now...

It seemed like he was going to experience it for himself.

"If there is an ambush in the Buddhist temple, why don't we wait and retreat temporarily?"

Xie Shang also saw the clue. He cherished his life very much, but he didn't want to die here without any reason.

"No, the queen mother is still in the Buddhist temple!"

Sima Xingnan stared at Xie Shang with a hostile look on his face. When the latter saw the princess's look, he immediately stopped talking.

"First, the Queen Mother is in the Buddhist temple, so we naturally have to face the difficulties. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to Tiger Mountain. Secondly, since the enemy chooses to ambush, there are not many people coming, so we may not be afraid of them."

Tian Qi's analysis was well-founded, and Xie Shang also drew out the long sword from his waist.

If he retreats alone and meets the thieves, he may be dead. Now it is the safest to follow Zhao Yue and his group.

"Follow me."

Zhao Yue reached back with his left hand and held Sima Xingnan's entire palm in his palm.

The latter felt the warmth of Zhao Yue's palm, and his heart palpitated, and two red clouds appeared on his lowered cheeks.

"Um."

She nodded slightly and held the dagger Zhao Yue gave him tightly with her other hand.

step by step~

Tian Qi led the way, walking very carefully. Under the sunlight, you could still see a few figures moving around in the corner of the Buddhist hall.

"Who are you?"

Tian Qi approached the Buddhist hall, and a group of guards wearing regular uniforms and swords on their waists walked out from the side hall in front of the Buddhist hall.

"They are the guards in the palace."

Seeing these people come out, Sima Xingnan's initial nervousness was relieved a lot.

"oh?"

Tian Qi hasn't let down his guard yet.

"I am Zhao Yue of the Zhao family in Tianshui, and I am here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Zhao Yue stepped forward, but of course, he did not go to the front.

"Tianshui Zhao family? How can I summon the princess if I can't be summoned by the Queen Mother?"

The leading guard saw the princess behind Zhao Yue and saluted quickly.

"Meet the princess."

"Please get up."

Sima Xingnan walked up slowly, but finally found that he couldn't walk.

Her left hand was tightly held by Zhao Yue's left hand.

"Mr. Lang!"

After his life was no longer in danger, Sima Xingnan turned red with shame and quickly tried to break free from Zhao Yue's restraints.

"County Lord."

Zhao Yue glared at him, and Sima Xingnan was stunned for a moment, as if he understood the meaning of Zhao Yue's eyes, and then he pulled him back and returned behind him honestly.

"Since you are a palace guard, why are you not on duty in front of the palace? Instead, you went to the side palace?"

"There are no trees in front of the Buddhist hall to provide shade. The heat is unbearable, so I naturally go to the side hall to escape the heat."

"Oh? Really?"

Zhao Yue glanced around.

If there is an ambush, I will definitely arrange a few archers in this side hall...

Archer?

Zhao Yue's eyes lit up!

He immediately yelled: "Then why are there crossbowmen in the palace?"

Zhao Yue shouted violently, and the leading palace guard's face changed drastically, and he pulled out the ring-headed knife from his waist.

And amid this loud shouting, five big men holding crossbows actually jumped out from the top of the side hall.

Swish swish~

It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!

From Zhao Yue's violent shout to the leader of the guards drawing their swords and the crossbowmen on the roof firing their bows and arrows, it was just as short as a few breaths.

Zhao Yue held a wooden shield to block the vital parts of his body, and held the princess in his arms with his other hand.

"Protect the young commander!"

As soon as the crossbowmen came out, more than ten troops of Zhuangwei immediately formed a formation.

From the beginning to the front of the Buddhist temple, they formed a formation with Zhao Yue at the center.

Swish swish~

The arrows flew, mostly hitting the log shield, but there were also a few arrows hitting the arms and legs of Zhuang Wei.

For a while, the sound of painful groans could not be heard.

Crossbows are controlled items in the military, but they actually appeared here.

Zhao Yue's heart sank.

The other side is definitely prepared!

"Uncle Tian."

"Brother Lin, don't panic, we have reinforcements."

Reinforcements?

Is this really not the work of our Tianshui Zhao family?

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment.

"What bad luck."

The leading palace guard spat fiercely.

He originally wanted to trap Zhao Yue and his group to death, but...

There was such a big commotion!

"What a coincidence that the Zhao family in Tianshui went up to the mountain to worship the Buddha at this time, and brought more than a dozen strong warriors with her. Now, something has changed. How should I explain it to the general?"

"Military academy, don't panic. We have a hundred people, and they are only a dozen. We originally told you to enter the Buddhist temple first to control the Queen Mother, but you wanted to trap the Tianshui Zhao family first. After going back and forth, time passed.

Delayed."

A strong, masked man emerged from behind the leading guard.

Looking at his figure, it looks like a hill.

"Originally, it was to prevent you and me from being mixed up inside and outside. Now that the matter has been exposed, nothing will happen. There are many of us, and this matter cannot be delayed. We must solve it quickly."

The leading guard nodded slightly.

He ran over with a knife in hand.

The military formation surrounding Zhao Yue slowly retreated, and soon left the effective shooting range of the crossbows.

However, these rounds of crossbows rained down, and a strong warrior was still lost.

There were three or four injured people.

The combat effectiveness can be considered to have been lost.

"rush!"

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The leading guard formed a formation in person, and the guards behind him stepped forward one after another and rushed into the full moon formation.

"Three Talents Formation."
