Yan Jun, who was in the distance, heard about the fight and sent two people over to check it out.
They saw a slender and tall woman striding towards them, brandishing a long sword to kill them.
The two soldiers immediately waved their spears and got into stance.
"Get out of your way!" came the girl's clear and angry shout from behind.
Recognizing this voice, the two soldiers were shocked: "It's Miss Ali!"
Chu Zheng raised his sword and stabbed them. Xia Zhaoyi's body swayed, and the long whip knocked Chu Zheng's sword blade away, forcing her to retreat.
Chu Zheng's teeth were almost broken. He ignored the bloody back of his hand and raised his sword to attack Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi faced the counterattack and said to the two soldiers who wanted to come up to help: "There is an injured little girl over there. Could you please send this little girl to Qi Mo Tang? I can deal with it here alone."
The two soldiers looked at Shu Xiaoqing and said, "Yes!"
At this moment, a hidden weapon suddenly shot towards Xia Zhaoyi from the north.
Xia Zhaoyi turned sideways and whipped it away.
Followed closely by another concealed weapon, six shots were fired in succession.
Thousands of green silk threads were opened in succession, the silver threads were like brocade, and the fireflies flickered under the moonlight.
Chu Zheng covered the back of her hands and stepped back, staring at her closely. At the same time, she was always vigilant about the direction of the hidden weapon, fearing that she would suffer disaster.
But obviously, the opponent only has one target.
Chu Zheng stopped staying and turned around immediately.
"Stop!" Xia Zhaoyi shouted crisply, chasing after him relentlessly.
Several more concealed weapons were fired at her.
Xia Zhaoyi didn't even look back, and hit them away with his whip while running.
Chu Zheng ran towards a brightly lit tavern ahead.
Realizing her intentions, Xia Zhaoyi used all her strength, closed the distance and then attacked with a whip.
Chu Zheng hurriedly turned around and blocked the attack with her long sword.
But this time what was shot at Xia Zhaoyi was no longer a hidden weapon, but a crossbow arrow, and it came from two directions like the hidden weapon just now.
Eight crossbows were fired at once, and with the familiar sound of piercing the air, Xia Zhaoyi quickly avoided these crossbow arrows, flipped to the ground, and braced himself on one knee.
Crossbow arrows struck three steps in front of her one after another. Xia Zhaoyi glanced at them and saw that the patterns on them were exactly the same as those that attacked Zhao Ning, Lin Qingfeng, and His Highness Qianqiu.
The second wave of crossbow arrows came, still eight.
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and looked in the direction from which they were shooting. She did not move away. She raised her whip and swung away the crossbow arrows. Eight of them were rolled down by her whip and fell to the ground.
The ultimate range was right here. In the first wave, the crossbow arrows were already weak. In this second wave, she actually didn't need to swing her whip and could only take a few steps back to be safe.
The next moment, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly took off her legs and ran towards the direction of the crossbow arrows.
At the same time, a whistle sounded from her fingertips, and a war horse not far away roared and galloped towards where she was.
The horse's hooves crossed the long street. During the sprint, Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to grab the reins, raised his body and flew up, landing steadily and elegantly on the horse's back.
Faced with several more waves of crossbow arrows, she galloped toward the eaves of a nearby house, using the terrain to create obstacles and avoid any unavoidable places. She would either duck down to avoid them, or break them with a whip.
The crossbow arrows turned into silver arrows that flashed by under the moonlight.
They are all two-shot machine crossbows, eight in a wave, that is, four.
In an instant, Xia Zhaoyi had rushed to the tall building where they were.
The crossbow arrows behind her became more and more dangerous. She immediately avoided the opponent's blind spot, lit the pillar and jumped up, grabbed the bracket, flipped upside down, and jumped up to the second floor.
Then on the third floor, then on the fourth floor, in the blink of an eye, she was on the roof.
Crossbow arrows were shot into the sky from the house. The people in the house were obviously in panic, and the crossbow arrows became disorderly and messy.
Soon, the crossbows were exhausted, the roof was bald, and there was no one on it.
"Are you scared?" A clear and bright girl's voice came from downstairs.
The men looked toward the stairs.
There were five men in the room. In addition to the four holding crossbows, there was another man holding a big knife.
The four men holding crossbows looked at the man holding the sword.
Fang Ji had no expression on his face and clenched the knife in his hand.
One of the men had two crossbow arrows left. He quietly raised the crossbow and pointed it at the stairs, ready to go.
But there was no more movement.
Fang Ji paused and walked towards the stairs.
"Ah Li?" Fang Ji called.
It's empty, there's no one down there.
Everyone frowned, and a strong uneasiness spread around them.
Fang Ji wanted to go down and take a closer look, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
It has always been them hiding in the darkness and hunting, but now it seems to be the other way around.
Suddenly, the uniform sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
A man holding a crossbow looked out the window and shouted: "No! The army is coming!"
A large number of soldiers are coming this way, and they are all cavalry.
Everyone immediately looked towards Fang Ji.
Fang Ji was furious: "Go down! Remember to watch out for Ah Li!"
Suddenly, someone broke into the window behind him.
The man holding the crossbow who had been staring at the stairs was unprepared. He quickly turned around, and a whip cracked through the air and headed straight for the door in front of him.
The man screamed and backed away, covering his eyes.
"How to guard against it?" Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips and smiled, "Are you sure you can guard against me?"
Fang Ji immediately rushed towards him with his sword raised.
The other men quickly threw away their crossbows and drew their swords.
The whips crackled in the air one after another, and the green barbs spread out like a fierce snake dancing wildly. It was extremely aggressive and destructive, and sawdust flew wherever it went.
But soon, she disappeared again.
The bright moonlight outside the window illuminated the messy and scattered wood chips in the house, and then it suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"I know you don't have much ability, but you just like to act like a ghost and come out!" Fang Ji shouted.
"You are wrong," the girl's voice came from the roof. "It's not that I like to show off, but I am too tired and have no energy to waste time with you, and there is no need to waste time with you."
As she finished speaking, a large number of soldiers and horses surrounded the building.
All the men in the room looked towards Fang Ji.
Fang Ji's face was tense and he looked up at the roof.
"I'm leaving," Xia Zhaoyi said, "If you are destined to see me again, or maybe you are not destined to see me again."
Then, she really left.
Returning to his mount, Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and pulled out the dagger fragment from his palm.
It was during the fight with Chu Zheng just now that the blade of the knife broke and then penetrated.
However, because her hand was wrapped in a bandage, the small fragment did not hurt her, but her wrist was indeed almost out of strength.
After running around for days, she only ate one piece of cake in the morning today, and she didn't eat much yesterday.
It wasn't that she had nothing to eat, but that she really had no appetite. She forced herself to swallow that piece of cake to maintain her strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Chu Zheng escape from her just now.
However, I didn't expect that Chu Zheng, who was ordered to be killed by Yan Qinglin and was being searched for all over the world, would actually appear in Hengxiang.
"Miss Ah Li!" Le Wei came over with two guards and said happily, "It's really you!"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him and smiled at him.
"I just led my troops on patrol here, and they said it was you. I still don't believe it!"
