The soldier named You Geng immediately drew his sword and rushed toward her.
The other soldiers drew their swords and galloped towards them.
Xia Zhaoyi's smile faded slightly, and she tapped her fingers on the stick behind her back, calculating the opponent's speed and time in her mind.
When the other party was approaching, she dodged, jumped to the ancient tree on the other side, stepped on the trunk of the tree, turned over and ran to the other side.
After standing still, she raised her toes and the stone bounced off the ground. After catching it, she raised her hand and threw it towards the armor on the head of a soldier.
The "dong" sound was extremely clear.
The soldiers who were looking for her immediately pulled their horses and turned around, glaring at her angrily, saying secretly that she was very fast, and they quickly chased after her.
Likewise, as soon as I got closer, the person disappeared again.
They reined in their horses and stopped, turning their eyes and looking around.
This time there was no whistle or sudden attack of rocks.
The eight soldiers did not relax their vigilance and vigilance, and spread out slightly to look for him, but the other party seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?" Two soldiers rode up from the cliff and asked.
You Geng told the truth about the situation here.
The two soldiers frowned: "What? Girl?"
"It's true," Yu Chao stepped forward and said, "There really is such a girl, and she is playing tricks on us!"
The two soldiers looked at each other and said, "Let's go report to the general first!"
Xia Zhaoyi did not go far, hiding in the dark and watching the mounts of the two soldiers.
Some things were beyond her expectation. She thought that wearing such heavy black armor would be very difficult for the horses, but their speed was actually not much slower than the light cavalry.
Maybe it had something to do with the short-term acceleration, as long-distance running might not be fast, or maybe it was the breed of horse. She didn't know this kind of horse and had never seen it before. It was much taller and more powerful than the ordinary yellow-fat horse.
Thinking about it, Xia Zhaoyi planned to go out again and try again.
·
Zhi Changle stayed where he was to take care of the two horses. There were many shouts in the distance. Hearing these sounds, he didn't have the slightest worry in his heart and looked at them quite calmly.
Watching the fire over there becoming more and more bright, and the shouts heard in his ears becoming more and more intense, Zhi Changle sighed softly.
Ah Li has always been kind and gentle to others, but if she wants to make people angry, she won't be able to make them angry to death.
Zhi Changle silently sympathized with this large group of people.
More than half an hour later, Xia Zhaoyi finally came back. Zhi Changle jumped down from the rock beside the road and handed over the reins: "You're not injured, are you?"
"No," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I didn't fight, I just kept hiding."
The other party was wearing hard black armor, and hitting it with her wooden stick would only make her mouth hurt.
Moreover, each of those people's big knives weighed at least twenty kilograms. It was not as easy as cutting a piece of wood for her.
Xia Zhaoyi got on his horse and said, "Let's go, we have to chase people, the Ji family is right in front."
As for the pursuers behind them, she almost knew how to deal with them.
·
The speed of the Ji family's carriage and horses has reached the current limit. The carriage runs all the way, and no one on the carriage complains about the bumps caused by the bumps and bumps on the road.
Ji Zhongchuan stayed in Ji Wenhuai's carriage, and the father and son talked intermittently, mostly exchanging insights on life gained from the Ji family's escape.
Ji Wenhuai looked back on his life, which was not too glorious, but never had any setbacks. As the eldest son of a century-old family, he was favored by thousands of people since he was born. From childhood to adulthood, he had everything he wanted including beauties, money, brothers, and the adulation and admiration of others.
.
Just thinking back on it, Ji Wenhuai felt extremely proud.
Ji Zhongchuan hasn't done any worse in his entire life, but he is not happy at all.
He calculated the distance in his mind. About two or three miles further, he would reach Kaipingyi.
The person Xiong Kaijing sent back before said that there would be three cavalrymen waiting for the Ji family's carriage and horses at Kaiping Post.
But he didn't want to meet them, but after seeing them from a distance, he immediately turned around and walked back quickly.
Xiong Kai was actually waiting for these three soldiers in front. Once he saw them appearing in his field of vision, he immediately ordered an attack on Du'ankou.
The time before and after this will be just right. When Xiong Kai breaks through Du'ankou at the fastest speed and clears the way ahead, it happens to be the time when the Ji family's motorcade rushes over.
Time here is very tight, so there can't be too much difference.
Ji Zhongchuan raised his hand and wiped his face, wondering if he should really do it.
Ji Wenhuai looked at him from the side: "To recruit talents, don't ask for the kindness of women."
Jin is Ji Zhongchuan's surname. Very few people call him that. Ji Wenhuai usually doesn't call him that, unless it's very formal and serious.
Ji Zhongchuan was silent for a moment and said, "If we really want to take action now, we cannot let go of the entourage that Shen Lie left behind."
Ji Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "I vaguely remember that his name seems to be Du Xuan."
"Um."
"Let Deputy Lieutenant Lin deal with it," Ji Wenhuai said. "You go to other rooms and pick a few people to kill together. If you only kill people who are related to Jiulang, it will be difficult for them not to suspect."
Ji Zhongchuan nodded and suddenly felt that the two of them were picking vegetables at a vegetable stall at the entrance of the market, deciding who they wanted to attack and who they should not attack.
However, the other party is not a vegetable, they are both of the blood of the Ji family.
Seeing that Ji Zhongchuan had not responded yet, Ji Wenhuai said: "We are almost at Kaipingyi, so we have to take advantage of the moment. We have to travel a long way, and the burden will be too much. We will only be dragged down."
Ji Zhongchuan clenched his fingers and recalled what Deputy Lieutenant Lin said in his ears.
Kill your wife to seek a general, cook your children and offer them minced rice, bury your children to serve your mother...
During that terrible famine, millions of people were displaced, and people exchanged their children for food. So, what did flesh and blood matter, and what did women matter?
As long as the sons and daughters of the Ji family are still here, why are they worried about having no women and no flesh and blood?
Ji Zhongchuan kept encouraging himself and telling himself that it had always been like this.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Zhongchuan finally made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements!"
He asked the coachman to stop, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, and ordered the team to stop as well.
Lieutenant Lin was sleepy and tired. Hearing the call to stop again, he became extremely angry and turned around to get angry. He happened to see a pair of brothers, Ji Mingyou and Ji Zhongchuan, coming to him and saying they had something to discuss.
Lieutenant Lin endured his temper and followed the Ji brothers to the side to avoid the crowd.
After listening to what they said, Lieutenant Lin was surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You finally found out that those people are a burden?"
Ji Mingyou looked pale, did not speak, and remained silent the whole time.
Ji Zhongchuan asked directly: "How to kill?"
"How troublesome is it to kill people?" Lieutenant Lin said in a funny voice, "It has already reached this point, what else can we cover up? Just pull off the carriage and chop it up with a knife. Only by killing in public can we be convinced in public, and we will save you all." Go and warn them, then they will understand that if they dare to talk nonsense, the consequences will only be worse!"
