Chapter 52 Qingxia's sacrifice of self and the five consecutive cuts of dancing horses
After the small characters appeared, they quickly disappeared.
Yuwen Jianxue looked at the shadow above her head, and saw a drop of bright red blood floating in the sky, which was probably used to signify this temporary divine decree.
No need to speculate. The way to pass God's will is very clear: survive, and survive.
But everyone's biggest support, the moon, is currently hidden in the clouds and has no plans to show its face.
Some soldiers suggested that while the enemy is still far away and the line of sight is unclear, retreat quickly.
"No, the target of so many people acting together is too big, and there are hidden sentries nearby." Qingxia said.
What Yuwen Jianxue wanted to say was, how could the infantry outrun the cavalry?
After a while, everyone came up with several methods, but none of them seemed very reliable.
"We can't delay it any longer," Wu Ma suddenly said, "I'll lead them away, and you can find a way to retreat."
Yuwen Jianxue looked at Wu Ma. From the beginning to the end, there was no trace of panic on his face.
Considering everyone's current situation, horse dancing is the only way for them to survive. It's not like Yuwen Jianxue has never thought of this method before.
But since then, the person who rushes out has taken all the risks. If one person faces more than a thousand cavalry, he will have a narrow escape from death no matter how he thinks about it.
Yuwen Jianxue also tried to lure away the pursuers. She was not afraid of death, but she couldn't die yet.
The figures of the Turkic cavalry were getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, making people's chest feel heavy.
The dancing horse came to the other side of the depression, holding the edge with both hands, and was about to rush out.
"etc,"
Qingxia suddenly grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Your method is good, let me go."
"You can not."
"If you don't try it, how will you know?"
"you are too slow."
"Slow down," said Qingxia, who was already in front of the dancing horse and turned to blink at him, "Don't think that I am sacrificing myself for others - no one can take the benefits of this divine decree from me.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ducked out of the shallow depression and soon turned into a black shadow, becoming increasingly blurry in the empty wilderness.
She first rushed towards the right side of the Turkic cavalry, where there were not many hidden sentries, then circled back and slipped towards the flank of the cavalry.
Yuwen Jianxue watched her slender figure jumping and running in the dark night, and suddenly felt envious of her fearlessness and lack of scruples.
Gradually, Qingxia's figure became farther and farther away. Looking from the depression here, there was only a blurry shadow.
"Ah," a soldier said, "Miss Qingxia must have escaped alone."
"No." This is the sound of a dancing horse.
Just as he was talking, a silver light suddenly lit up in the dark night.
Immediately afterwards, the neighing sounds of horses were heard one after another, gradually becoming one and piercing the quiet night.
The Turkic cavalry all turned their horses and chased in the direction of the flashing silver light.
Then he saw a thin black figure walking alone in the wilderness, with thousands of troops behind him, and the ground was shaking.
How can a man outrun a horse? It didn't take long before the black shadow was about to be overtaken.
Yuwen Jianxue's heart was about to rise to her throat, but she saw the black shadow using some unknown method to jump forward suddenly, like a series of bows and arrows, quickly throwing away the cavalry. She
Only then did I feel relieved a little bit.
The unexpected black figure was about to escape from the dangerous area. Huo Di, from the front of the cavalry formation, shot out a Turkic general. He jumped up from his tall horse, wrapped in a black mist, and rushed forward like lightning.
He and Heiying'er chased each other, and some of their front and rear legs disappeared into the dark night.
…
In the shallow depression, Yuwen Jianxue looked at the place where the two disappeared, and felt really anxious. Looking at the movement of the Turkic general Black Mist, he was probably an awakened disciple, and his skills were very good. Qingxia has not yet learned how to sleep.
I'm afraid it will be bad if he is caught up.
She then said to Wu Ma: "Qingxia will definitely take a detour. Can we go around to take over?"
The dancing horse remained silent, only watching the large group of Turkic cavalry disappear into the distance behind them, and then said: "No need, she can come back alive if she dares to go out."
Yuwen Jianxue thought about the earth-shattering cavalry charge and gradually calmed down. Even if she followed her, there would be nothing she could do about it. She could only hope that, as Wu Ma said, Qingxia herself was confident.
She looked up and saw that the blood drops were still there above the shadow. Moreover, it turned from bright red to scarlet. She couldn't figure out what this change meant, but it was definitely not a good thing.
"In that case," she said, "let's act as soon as possible. This opportunity was earned by Qingxia with great difficulty."
As he said that, he looked up at the sky again. There was a layer of silver light on the edge of the clouds where the moon was hiding. It seemed that it was not far away from when it appeared.
"Or, we wait for the moon to come out?"
"I can't wait any longer, leave."
"But the secret whistle..."
"Just a moment."
Wu Ma said, and suddenly rushed out of the shallow depression, a figure flashed past, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
After a while, another one dodged and rushed back, "Follow me."
A group of people followed him and sneaked into the dark night.
After walking for two or three hundred feet, we encountered a small hillside.
"Just wait here."
The crowd followed the dancing horse and hid behind the hill, and saw five corpses of Turks lying inside.
The five of them all threw themselves head-on on the ground, but their heads were pointed toward the sky, their eyes widened with an incredulous look.
Yuwen Jianxue only took one look and knew that the necks of these five people had been broken with bare hands, and the actions were done so fast that it was unimaginable that the victims might not have even seen the shadow of the murderer.
The murderer is of course the dancing horse.
Yuwen Jianxue couldn't help but feel awe in her heart: For someone as proficient in martial arts as she is, it is not difficult to kill five people. However, these secret sentries are very close to each other and take care of each other.
It was sorted out without anyone realizing it.
Thinking of this, she looked at the indifferent figure beside her in a daze. Is this the ferocity and neatness that can only be acquired by killing hundreds or thousands of people? He also claims to be a hermit who has lived in the mountains for a long time. How is that possible? A liar, a complete liar.
.
While I was stunned, I suddenly heard the sound of clattering horse hooves again. They walked far away to the side of the hillside, and it turned out that a large group of Turkic cavalry came back again, and this time they rushed straight into the shallow depression where everyone had been hiding.
Yuwen Jianxue looked up at the sky, but the moon still hadn't come out. If everyone was still waiting for the moon to come out, wouldn't Qingxia's sacrifice of her life be in vain?
Then he said to Wu Ma: "You knew they would come back a long time ago."
"Well, Qingxia just slipped out of Qianquan, and there are awakened disciples among the Turkic soldiers."
Yuwen Jianxue understood immediately.
The meaning of the dancing horse is that since there are awakened disciples among the enemies, they may have an insight into Qingxia's movements very early.
You can't tell for sure, but from Qingxia's deliberate flash of silver light just now, you can guess that she is planning to attack the east and attack the west, so it would be normal for her to go back to Qianwa to check.
Yuwen Jianxue recalled everything that had just happened and secretly admired Wu Ma's calmness.
"What about Qingxia?"
"Don't worry, she is safer than us."
That's all I can think of.
Yuwen Jianxue raised his head and looked at the shallow depression, but first he saw a large set of deep and shallow footprints on the nearby ground. Just now, [The Dark Side of the Kasaya] was not healed yet, and the people inevitably left traces when they moved.
"not good!"
Her heart sank, and just as she was about to warn the dancing horse, she saw the Turkic cavalry in the distance searching the shallow depressions, following the footprints on the ground, and speeding over from here...

God's will will always place all kinds of fancy things on everyone's head. Don't pay too much attention, otherwise it will affect your performance.
