On the official road, eighteen horses were galloping.
Suddenly.
Herod~
Bang.
A strong horse whimpered, its front hooves suddenly went limp, and it fell to its knees while galloping, splashing loess all over the sky.
The man on the horse was very agile, but he was slightly startled. Then he kicked off his feet, turned over in the air, and landed firmly on the ground. Then he looked at the horse that collapsed on the ground, with an ugly and distressed expression on his face.
The team of eighteen riders stopped.
The leader was the iron-blooded general from that night. He glanced at the fallen horses and said: "Get on the other people's horses and continue. We must rush to Yunmengguan in two days and stop in front of them."
When the man who fell off the horse heard this, he didn't say a word and didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately jumped on another soldier's horse.
Looking again at this time, it turned out that among the remaining seventeen horses, there were already two people riding on several of them.
"Since the interception at Yezhu Ridge that night, we have been running continuously for three days and three nights, and five horses have been killed. We must capture all these people within Yunmeng Pass." Tiance Mansion
Yunzhou commander Wei Chifeng was impatient.
The reason why we rushed to Yunmeng Pass in such a hurry was because according to the route of that group of people, they must exit from Yunmeng Pass in Yunzhou, go to the border of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then return home.
Their goal is to escape from the Tang Dynasty.
Right now, only the last line of defense at Yunmengguan in Yunzhou is left.
After leaving Yunmeng Pass, there is the border between the two countries, which is vast and vast. If we pursue it again, it may lead to a collision between the armies of the two countries. However, neither country is ready to truly start a national war!
Now.
His brothers from Tiance Mansion must have been ahead of them.
The wind-chasing horses specially bred by Tiance Mansion can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. As long as they stay on their only path in advance, they can be trapped in Yunmeng Pass without letting them go.
He left Datang.
"Yang Xiu, bring me the map."
Quickly.
After Yuchifeng gave the order, someone behind him threw out a pair of parchment scrolls.
He unfolded the map on the horse and said, "To get out of Yunzhou, they have two options. One is to forcefully break through Yunmeng Pass, and the other is to enter the Yunling Mountains and climb over the mountains."
"The former is extremely risky for them, but it is also the most likely possibility for them to implement it."
Several masters who had infiltrated the Tang Dynasty were dragged down by them again after the battle at Yeboar Ridge, and another one was seriously injured. Now there are only three people left with one injured, and they also brought two oil bottles to attack them.
It is said that if you enter the Yunling Mountains, you will be one step closer to death.
The fewer and fewer masters they have, they simply cannot support themselves in the Yunling Mountains and consume them, because there are all kinds of primitive ferocious beasts there that can compare with martial arts masters.
They wanted to bring the little princess and the prince back alive, and entering Yunmeng Mountain was seeking death.
"But you must not be careless. When you arrive at Yunmengguan, notify the counties near Yunling Mountain and mobilize local soldiers to guard..." Yuchifeng made preparations for both sides.
"Yes!" Yang Xiu, a young man in brocade clothes, and the generals behind him accepted the order in unison.
Yu Chifeng glanced at the three black-clothed swordsmen behind him from his horse. Without saying much, he turned around and patted his horse as he galloped towards Yunmengguan.
………………
Somewhere in a small forest leading to Yunmengguan.
Oops!
A strong wind passed by.
Click.
A tree as thick as a thigh was cut in half with a steel knife.
The young man put away his knife.
Then, he looked at the incision of the small tree. Although it was flat, it was not smooth.
"It's not fast enough..." Lu Qingping murmured.
The key to the magic sword technique is to look for the flaw at that moment when the opponent attacks, and then draw the sword at an extremely fast speed to kill!
This complete book of magic sword skills in his mind includes various ways to use the sword in different directions, as well as precious tips for adjusting the muscles and bones of the body in order to instantly exert force and explode with astonishing speed.
But time is still too little after all. If Lu Qingping is given a few months, he will definitely be able to bring out the power of this sword technique. Unfortunately, time does not wait for us, and he does not have much time to practice.
In addition, the method of exerting force on bones requires at least entering the realm of iron bones after copper skin in order to achieve it.
He hasn't developed enough bones yet.
It’s just that my requirements for the current situation are a bit high.
But in fact, in the three days since he obtained the magic sword technique, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Those exquisite ways of using the sword and the techniques for exerting force have allowed him to kill several characters like Su Zhe from the Divine Sword Sect.
However, in this situation of being hunted, he requires himself to be able to leapfrog and kill people in order to gain more chances of survival.
"Little Bottle, the seniors are back."
In the distance, the clear voice of the little princess rang.
Lu Qingping agreed upon hearing this, glanced at the marks on the knife training area, then swung a dozen knives, chopped the trees on the ground into a bundle of firewood, and then walked over there with her back on her back.
Under a big tree, there were two old people and two middle-aged men.
One of the old men had white gauze wrapped around his body, and a ball of blood stained the gauze red.
Lu Qingping saw this and said sadly: "Senior Sun, has he left too..."
The only remaining martial arts master among the four, Minghuo Chunyang, said slowly: "I'm staying in Yeboar Ridge, but at the same time, I also pulled the two masters from Ce Mansion to stay there.
"
Lu Qingping said nothing, feeling complicated.
To use another word to describe these people, they are "dead soldiers".
They traveled thousands of miles from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, just to bring back the little princess. When they entered the Tang Dynasty, they had already left their lives behind, because this trip was destined to escape death, and everyone
They were all mentally prepared to sacrifice themselves at critical moments in exchange for bringing the little princess back to Sui Dynasty safely.
Eighteen people, from Chang'an to Yunzhou, with such loyalty and courage, only these four people were left in the end.
The injured old man's name was Sun Daorong. He grinned and said: "It's not bad. Before we entered the Tang Dynasty, we thought it would be good to have two people left when we arrived in Yunzhou. But now there are four people left, from Tiance Mansion.
We also fought hard to exchange the master masters, and there are only three left, and now we only have the last level of Yunmeng Pass in front of us."
"Except for Yunmengguan, there is the border between the two countries. At that time, an old senior from the Tianzong will come to meet us. Therefore, we are now only one step away from success."
"Tianzong, is that the Sword Immortal Sect that used to have the word "天" assigned to his family after the world's Jianzong split, and established a separate Sword Sect and Heavenly Way?" The little princess's eyes showed a hint of yearning.
"Not bad." The old master nodded to Huayang beside him.
Sword Immortal.
Lu Qingping was moved.
This is a code name for unparalleled killing in any world.
In his impression, those who practice swordsmanship seem to be ruthless people.
Especially the swordsman who was once the most lethal swordsman in the world.
"However, this must be done on the premise that we can successfully break out of Yunmengguan." The injured old man Sun Daorong said calmly.
Lu Qingping and the little princess were all lost in thought.
The old master Xiang Huayang took out the map from his arms, spread it out and said:
"To get out of Yunzhou, one option is to forcefully break out of Yunmengguan, and the other option is to go through the Yunling Mountains. The former seems risky, but Lao Sun and I are 40 to 50 sure. The latter seems risky.
Small, but once we enter the deep mountains, too many unpredictable problems will arise. At that time, we will not only have to face their increasing army to encircle and kill them, but we will also have to face the... wild beasts in the Yunling Mountains!"
The beast that even the Grand Master is afraid of is definitely not the kind of beast on Lu Qingping's earth. It should be called...a monster!
Lu Qingping and the little princess looked at the map.
On the map, Yunling Mountains are densely clustered into groups with undulating terrain. If you enter the mountains, you may not be able to get out in less than half a month.
The little princess touched her chin.
Lu Qingping watched for a while and then directly asked: "What do the seniors think?"
The two old men Xiang Huayang and Sun Daorong looked at each other, and then said in a deep voice together:
"We decided to kill directly from Yunmengguan!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a bit of silence in the forest.
The little princess's face became serious.
She closed her eyes for a few moments, then opened her bright eyes with determination:
"Then listen to the seniors and fight out!"
Xiang Huayang said slowly: "Tiance Mansion is not someone who can take it easy. They can also think of our choices. I guess they are already rushing to Yunmengguan or guarding Yunling Mountain to block our only exit.
There is no way to pass, but we can only take one last risky move."
After pursuing him for so long, he was besieged by local officials and Jianghu forces.
At this last step, there is no other choice.
Only when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
Lead the young prince and princess to fight for a chance of survival and escape from the Tang Dynasty!
The eyes of several people became determined.
The old master finally said: "There are still seven days to go from Yunmeng Pass, so recharge your batteries for the big battle."
Lu Qingping did not speak, but held the knife at her waist tightly with a calm expression.
Yunmengguan is the key battle that determines life and death.
There are still seven days to prepare and practice sword skills for him!
