Lin Yi told Miao Xue the plan and continued on his way.
Du Youhen explained the area she was currently in in the letter.
Lin Yi took a shortcut and ordered his team to rush forward day and night. This time it was a serious matter. In order to get to the ground as soon as possible to intercept Du Youxin, Lin Yi and the others brought twice as many horses. The knife fell down on the road due to fatigue.
Change to another horse and run wildly all the way. Except for taking a break when eating and drinking, not losing a moment.
The carriage Lin Yi was riding in was almost falling apart.
Another carriage was changed halfway through.
In order to make Lin Yi more comfortable, Zuo Chaoyang spread several thick mattresses in the carriage and asked Hu Yanyuer to take care of Lin Yi in the carriage.
After galloping all the way, at midnight on the second day, we were only more than ninety miles away from the border town. We were less than thirty miles away from the area where Du Youhen was.
Lin Yi and the others turned onto the main road and continued on their way under the stars and the moon.
After running for another ten miles, Zuo Chaoyang, who was at the front, suddenly shouted: "Who is that!"
It turned out that a horse was galloping in front of the road. The man on the horse was shaky, as if he would fall off the horse at any time. It looked like he was injured.
If something strange happened, all the masters in the southern border immediately raised their vigilance. They put their hands on their weapons. More than ten people even protected Lin Yi's carriage from both sides.
When the horse came closer, Zuo Chaoyang saw clearly that it was a teenage girl. The girl had injuries on her shoulder and right chest, and was still bleeding.
At this time, the girl could no longer hold herself up, and she fell towards the horse with her body tilted. Zuo Chaoyang flew up from the horse to catch the girl.
The girl looked at Zuo Chaoyang under the moonlight, and then a joyful expression appeared on her face. The girl said: "I...I seem to have seen you on the day of the decisive battle in Bohai. Are you Zuo Chaoyang, King Lin's good brother?"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "I am Zuo Chaoyang, who are you?"
The girl said: "My name is Du Yuan..."
Zuo Chaoyang shouted loudly to Lin Yi in the car behind him: "Prince Lin, I met an injured girl named Du Yuan, do you recognize her?"
Lin Yi was in a daze at the moment, but woke up when Zuo Chaoyang shouted.
Before Lin Yi could say anything, Du Yuandao said in surprise: "Is King Lin here too?!"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "It's in the carriage."
At this time, Lin Yi's voice also came from the carriage.
"I recognize it! Hug her over here!"
Zuo Chaoyang carried Du Yuan into the carriage. Then he got on the horse and led the team to continue moving forward. Since Du Yuan was injured, something must have happened. Zuo Chaoyang also ordered everyone to be vigilant, especially when passing by vegetation.
ambush.
In the carriage, Hu Yanyuer quickly bandaged Du Yuan's wound.
Du Yuan burst into tears when she saw Lin Yi as if she were seeing a relative.
Du Yuan said: "Prince Lin, my mother is in trouble now...go and save her!"
"Tell me quickly what happened?!" Lin Yi hurriedly asked about the situation.
Du Yuan said: "My mother has been staring at Du Youxin, but she didn't expect..."
Du Yuan told Lin Yi what happened in detail.
It turned out that Du Youhen was responsible for his father's duty and had been keeping an eye on Du Youxin. Du Youhen also tried to find a way to turn someone around Du Youhen into an informant. Therefore, Du Youxin's daily activities could not be hidden from Du Youhen.
The day before yesterday, Du Youhen received a report from an insider that Du Youxin wanted to take someone to the border secretly.
Du Youhen was not a fool. At this time, her sister's intention to go to the border town where the two armies were fighting was obvious. Of course Du Youhen had to stop Du Youxin. So Du Youxin led more than a dozen people to intercept Du Youhen. But this time, Du Youhen was let go.
Du Youhen never expected that she would fall into a trap this time.
After the last Hezhou incident, Du Youxin suspected that there was someone around him whom Du You hated.
Otherwise, Du Youhen would not have rushed to help Zeng Tengyun defeat Ximenxuan at the critical moment.
Du Youxin knew that being stared at by her sister would ruin her business. In this way, she would not be able to succeed. So Du Youxin simply used a trick to lure Du Youhen to a place and prepare to capture her. If he could not capture, he would kill him.
Already.
Du Youhen realized that something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to ask Lin Yi for help. She led her people to continue to deal with Du Youxin...
Du Yuan started coughing and spit out blood.
Lin Yi was anxious. He wiped the blood from Du Yuan's mouth with his sleeve and said, "Continue talking!"
Du Yuan took a breath and said: "This time Du Youxin just wants to get rid of my mother completely. So she has a lot of people, including several powerful masters. Until now, our people are almost dead. Only the remaining
Er Niu and I were together. My mother was also injured. In the end, my mother and Er Niu lured the enemy away and asked me to rush out to report the news..."
Lin Yi asked anxiously: "Where is your mother now?"
Du Yuan said: "It's in Tianfeng Town, more than twenty miles away from here."
Lin Yi was worried about Du Youhen, so he shouted outside the carriage: "Little boy, hurry up! Go to Tianfeng Town!"
So the team speeded up and rushed forward like lightning.
The horses were also whipped by the crowd and kept neighing.
After a few more miles, Zuo Chaoyang, who was running at the front, suddenly reined in his horse.
The horse neighed and raised its front hooves.
The team also stopped.
Because on the road ahead, a blazing flame suddenly ignited.
Lin Yi asked outside the carriage: "What's going on?"
The little boy said: "King Lin, look."
The little boy turned the carriage so that the door faced the front. Hu Yanyuer opened the door. The southern masters in front also moved to both sides. In this way, Lin Yi could clearly see the situation ahead.
I saw a huge fire burning on the road ahead.
The fire occupied almost two-thirds of the road and was burning fiercely. The flames reached two feet and illuminated the surrounding area.
There seemed to be someone behind the fire.
Not just one person.
Shadowy.
The figures of these people were twisted in the firelight.
Zuo Chaoyang shouted towards the back of the fire: "Don't be a fool! Who are you?!"
Someone behind the fire sneered, and then a stiff voice said in Chinese: "Is the person in the car really Lin Yi?!"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
The man said: "Yes, you die. But if you tell the truth, I will make your death more comfortable. No, you have to die too. I will kill you one by one and let you die slowly!"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "Crazy guy, I want to see who you really are!"
After the words fell, Zuo Chaoyang's inner strength filled his body and his robes began to stir. Then Zuo Chaoyang waved his arms on the horse, and two air dragons condensed with true energy sprang out from his sleeves. The two air dragons rushed toward the burning flames.
These two air dragons are as thick as an adult's thigh.
The momentum is rapid and fierce.
Two air dragons flew into the fire.
The pile of flames "crackled" and exploded.
In an instant, the burning firewood was scattered in all directions, and sparks were flying in the air, creating streaks of brilliant firework-like light in the night.
Because these torches were dipped in oil, they continued to burn even if they were scattered.
Now, Lin Yi and others could finally see clearly the person behind the flames.
There were fifty or sixty people.
They were all dressed in black and wearing leather boots. Their faces were all wearing iron masks. In the firelight, they looked cold and terrifying.
