Chapter 12 Chapter Two

Surrounded by two thousand light cavalry, Xi Yan and Lu Guichen rushed up to a high ground, overlooking the plain, and there was an open space in front of them. Lu Guichen pointed to the distance: "General! That's him!" On the yellow-green mottled grassland, black horses galloped swiftly on billowing smoke and dust, followed by dozens of black-armored cavalry.The man on the black horse was wearing the Tang Army's standard dace armor, and a prisoner was escorted by a heavy gun on the saddle.Although Lei Dan was still a hundred paces away, Yu Jian had already caught up with him. If it wasn't for the fact that it was not easy to get accurate while the horse was running wildly, the black horse would have already been hit by the arrow.

"It's Ji Ye." Xi Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen clearly. Xi Yan didn't answer, but frowned. Ji Ye had already seen an ink flag moving on the high ground in the distance. He knew that the rescuers were only two miles away, so he felt slightly relaxed and almost went limp.He carried two people on a war horse, and had to dodge feathered arrows and walk out of a huge arc. His black horse was also selected from the stable, but it was also exhausted.He struck the horse's rump with the barrel of a gun, forcing the collapsing steed to continue galloping.If there is no rescue, he and the war horse will just run towards the dead end.

The black horse neighed wildly and stepped onto the grassy slope.At this time, Jiye Yiqi and Xi Yan's brigade were standing on two high grounds facing each other, separated by a low-lying area with a width of several hundred steps, and Jiye could already see Lu Guichen's face clearly.But he suddenly grabbed the horse tightly!The black horse slid out on its knees, wailed a few times, foamed, and lay dying on the ground. Ji Ye was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, pushed the princess to the ground, pointed the spear at the back of her neck. The Lei Dan who were chasing him stationed their horses and drew their bows tens of steps away, while Ji Ye looked down at the low-lying place below.Hao Haoran thousands of crimson cavalry lined up a huge battle line that stretched for several miles. With the turmoil of the horses and the movements of the cavalry, it seemed that a red tide was bound and undulating in this depression.Thousands of cavalry archers bent their bows and pointed at the grassy slope where he was, a red flag was raised in the wind, and the light of Lei Lie's flower loomed.

Himeno understood, and he rushed into the lion's den. He encountered Thunder Cavalry's own team, and was completely plunged into a crimson grassland, where every blade of grass was a cavalry's saber and lance, a murderous grassland.The despair that was suppressed by him quietly floated up. Facing the huge team of 5,000 people, he felt his own insignificance. Xie Xuanze arrived on horseback, pointed his sword at Ji Ye, and said in a calm voice, "You still lost the bet. Last chance, you put down the princess, and I let you escape." Ji Ye shook his head: "If you don't let me go, I'll kill her. What I said just now still counts!"

Xie Xuan also shook his head. This time, Ji Ye's words would no longer be effective, what he was facing was a brigade of 5,000 people, not a battalion of dozens of riders.A huge army is like a precision mechanism that is running vigorously, and an iron nail that tries to stop it will only be crushed into powder.Even if Xie Xuan wants to order the brigade to move away, his prestige cannot do it. The Red Armored Thunder Riders still blocked Ji Ye's way like an iron wall, and the two sides faced each other without saying a word. "Really think that I can escape?" The low-pitched voice of gold and iron came with the wind.

Ji Ye turned around in shock.Li Jun's red tide split suddenly, as if he was afraid of something and separated naturally.The warrior in the fire bronze armor slowly approached from a distance with a saber in hand.The wind parted his brown hair, and the samurai seemed to hold the sky above his head.Lei Dan all got off their horses and half-kneeled in front of the horses.An irresistible majesty comes with the wind. mighty king. "Xie Xuan," Ying Wuyi's first words were actually addressed to his favorite general, "There are many mountains and you will eventually meet a tiger. I never thought that you would stumble one day."

"My lord, forgive me." Xie Xuan knelt down on one knee. "Don't blame yourself, maybe it's not you who underestimated the enemy, but our enemy, it's too unexpected," Ying Wuyi turned to look at Ji Ye. Ying Wuyi's gaze was cold, and when he faced Ji Ye, it seemed as if two blades had brushed against each other.Ji Ye trembled all over: "You are Ying Wuyi?" "Presumptuous!" Zhang Bo roared after Ying Wuyi's horse. "I'm Ying Wuyi. Didn't you meet me just now before the battle? You even shot my daughter with an arrow. I remember you." Ying Wuyi waved his hand to stop Zhang Bo, and smiled coldly, "You I belong to different camps, and I am an enemy, so it is not rude for you to call me by my name."

"If you want to save your daughter, let go!" Ji Ye yelled. "A military warrior, how can you say something like a robber?" Ying Wuyi smiled faintly, "This is not commensurate with your courage to sneak into my Thunder Cavalry formation with dozens of cavalry." He seemed to be looking up and down Ji Ye with interest, and finally his eyes slowly focused on the spear in Ji Ye's hand.The blood-covered battle gun carried a strong murderous aura, and blood droplets slowly fell from the black-golden gun point.When seeing this gun, Ying Wuyi's pupils lit up, as if reflecting a saber light.His hand holding the rein tightened involuntarily, and the charcoal fire horse neighed anxiously.

Himeno didn't know what a violent storm was blowing up in the lion's heart.The past twenty years ago resurfaced in Ying Wuyi's mind. The scene was like before his eyes. The white-bearded and white-haired warrior jumped into the sky with a sword, as if a warrior descended from heaven.At that moment, Ying Wuyi thought that he was bound to die. "It turned out to be a Tiger Tooth Spear," Ying Wuyi said in a low voice, "Heir of Heavenly Drive, you are like a spark, but it will never go out." Ji Ye was stunned for a moment.He was vaguely aware of the massacre of Tianqi decades ago, his ancestors died under the siege of the princes, the massacre was so cruel that no one dared to mention it in public for decades. No one knows the spread of the two words "Heaven Drive".But Ying Wuyi, who is the Duke of the State, only needs to look at his gun to know his identity clearly.

Ying Wuyi waved his hand lightly, and hundreds of cavalry archers behind him fired their arrows together, and Ji Ye shielded himself with his arms crossed.After the rain of arrows, the grass around Ji Ye was densely packed with feathered arrows, forming a huge circle of arrows, and only Ji Ye stood alone in the middle with the princess in his arms.Ji Ye looked around, covered in cold sweat, for a moment just now, he couldn't help but stab straight down. "As expected of Tianchao." Ying Wuyi nodded, expressionless. "My lord, spare his life!" Xi Yan shouted loudly. "Forgive him?" Ying Wuyi laughed, "General Xi, my daughter is in his hands, you don't want him to spare my daughter's life, but you want me to spare her?"

"I exchange my life for my life, I believe that the prince is definitely not a person who speaks without words." "Is he going to exchange my daughter's life for his life? How precious is his life?" Ying Wuyi laughed even louder, "I've heard that Xiyan is like a fox, would you make such a loss-making deal? Or is it because you, a student, are actually ..." "Xi Yan!" Ying Wuyi suddenly put away his smile, his eyes were cold, and he roared loudly, "The eagle flag has been honored for seven hundred years, and you claim to be immortal. Is it this kind of immortality who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" His roar was deafening, like a bang of thunder rushing across the grassland.Xi Yan's face turned pale slightly, and the bitter thorn's halberd pointed to the ground, and he sighed lowly. Lu Guichen's heart trembled: "General." "Ying Wuyi wants to kill him." Xi Yan said in a low voice. Lu Guichen's heart was empty, and the blood in his chest seemed to flow away in an instant. Ying Wuyi raised his hand.Thousands of thunder cavalry archers turned their arrows and pointed at Xi Yan's troops, and Xia Tang's troops drew their bows and arrows in panic, dismounted and half knelt on the ground.The crossbowmen on both sides were equal in strength, and the Xia Tang army got off their horses and half knelt, so they were not easy to receive arrows, and they still had a slight advantage.But the hard bows of the Thunder Riders seemed to be supported by iron arms, while the bows of Xia Tang Jun kept shaking as if they were about to be blown off by the wind. "Half-drawing the bow." Xi Yan sent an order, shaking his head, "Soldiers are like sheep, even if generals are like dragons, they can't be an army of tigers and wolves." "Xi Yan, if you can't get past these arrows, the matter here has nothing to do with you. Leave the rest to me and this child." Ying Wuyi turned to look at Xi Yan. "Young man, you will have to walk your own way." He turned back to face Ji Ye, "Your teacher will never protect you forever. I will give you two ways now, one is to kill my daughter now, Then you just die, and the second is that you take my knife and you can take her back. I can see that you are a bold person. Ying Wuyi was also a wanderer in Jiuyuan City when he was young. But we This kind of person is not without benefits, Ying Wuyi lives his life, he will do what he says, do you believe me or not?" Ji Ye's eyes fell on Ying Wuyi's nine-foot-long giant knife, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not answer. Ying Wuyi sneered, pointing the sword at Ji Ye, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You rely on your courage and dare to attack my daughter, don't you have the courage to take her father's sword?" Ying Wuyi let out a lion's roar, and Tang Jun, who was hundreds of steps away, was terrified.Himeno felt a shock in his ears, and then there was a blank.He looked directly at Ying Wuyi, and the overlord of the Eastern Continent was looking at him with awe and power, his power over the whole world. For the first time in Ji Ye's life, he felt such a powerful and heavy majesty of the emperor, pressing down heavily from the top of his head.Xi Yan's words suddenly floated in his ears: "In this troubled world, compared to killing the Mighty King Ying Wuyi, nothing is an achievement!" He felt that a skylight had opened above his head, and the light was shining through!It turned out that what I did in the past was so stupid, like a summer cicada singing chaotically, but it never knew Dong Xue's Xiao Sha.With that roar, he broke through a layer of sky, and suddenly saw the person who controls the world, this is his enemy! "It's a deal!" "Very good," Ying Wuyi smiled slowly, "Aren't you afraid of death?" "If I dare to come, I know that I may not be able to go back alive." "Oh?" Ying Wuyi frowned, "How old are you?" "Seventeen." "If there are young people like you from generation to generation, then maybe Tianqi is truly immortal," Ying Wuyi pondered for a moment, before admiring. "Ayuer," Ying Wuyi turned to her daughter, "Before he takes my knife, I will order you to stay by his side and not leave. You are my daughter, and you cannot ruin our Ying family tradition." Princess Liguo nodded vigorously, and gave Ji Ye a cold look, as if looking at a dead person.She had never seen anyone alive under her father's tyrannical sword. "Give him a horse." A Thunder Rider took the spare horse from behind and drove it to Ji Ye.A horse in a hundred indeed, with everything in the saddle. Ying Wuyi rode his horse and stopped two feet away from Jiye, removed his left hand from the saber, and said slowly, "Please!" This was the starting gesture for a formal duel between warriors. As a duke, Ying Wuyi did it meticulously. Ji Ye picked up the leather rope from the saddle, tied Princess Li Guo's hands behind her back, pushed her into the grass, and then lifted her tiger teeth and got on the horse.With a slash of the spear, his left palm slashed on his right wrist: "The iron armor is still there!" The wind was blowing from the north, and the long grass heaved restlessly under the pale, low sky.The overlord of the troubled times and the unnamed Xia Tang warrior slowly circled his war horse. Ying Wuyi didn't wear a helmet, and her long brown hair fluttered in the wind.He lowered his head, as if thinking about something, Ji Ye's burning gaze focused on the saber in his hand. "Still there?" Ying Wuyi seemed to be muttering to himself. He suddenly jumped up!Ying Wuyi's burly body squatted on the saddle of the charcoal fire horse! "He wants to..." Lu Guichen was stunned. "Jimo! Get off the horse! Get off the horse!" Xi Yan yelled. Ji Ye had no chance to dismount, so he could only raise his head involuntarily.Ying Wuyi kicked his feet, borrowed strength from the horse's back, and jumped up again.The huge figure descended like a giant god in mid-air, Ying Wuyi roared like a thunderbolt, and slashed down with his saber! This is no longer a warrior's fighting, it is not a heroic horse charging, but a young man's fighting in the market, using all means to win.Ying Wuyi took advantage of the height of the horse's back and leaped two feet in the air, combining the heavy pressure from the air with the power of swinging the long knife, in order to kill the enemy with one blow.The domineering sword was as long as the sky and the sea, making Jiye almost suffocated. The knife seemed to split Jiye and the earth into two halves. It was only when Ji Ye stood under the bitter cold that Ying Wuyi dared to promise him to leave, because in fact he had no chance at all.Lu Guichen's exclamation and Xi Yan's shouting, it was too late to save Ji Ye.By the time the sound reached his ears, the Saber had already split him in half. The only one who can save him is himself!In the momentum of the sword pressing down like a mountain, the black golden light rushed up, and Ji Ye, like Ying Wuyi, threw off the stirrup.Facing Ying Wuyi's mountain-like sword momentum, he rose against the mountain. No one can see the instant change.There was only a symphony of gold and iron, and the horse Ji Ye was riding suddenly galloped two steps forward, and broke in two at the waist.In the bloody flash, the Tiger Tooth Spear hovered several feet away and pierced obliquely into the ground.Ji Ye was like a kite with a broken string, falling straight down, spraying blood from his mouth on the grass, dyeing the autumn grass bright red. Ying Wuyi landed on the ground, slashed his long knife horizontally, and remained silent. "Jimo..." Lu Guichen was completely stunned.He saw Ying Wuyi's overbearing sword technique, but with his eyesight, he couldn't see how Ji Ye sealed the sword's momentum, and how the remaining force of the sword cut off the horse. He thought of his teacher's words, this is the real martial arts on the battlefield, without the elegance and sharpness of Qie Yujin, just the overwhelming murderous aura, in which the lion roars! Ji Ye tried hard to open his eyes, the surroundings were blood-red, he groped around, but couldn't find the spear that was inseparable from him.Lu Guichen in the distance seemed to be shouting something, but he couldn't hear it, there was only a blank in his ears, as if all the sounds in the world had been sucked away. "Am I dead? I..." Ji Ye tried his best to prop up his body, the severe pain from his left arm to his waist made him almost faint. "I... haven't died yet!" The miraculous will returned, like an unyielding ghost hiding in his heart.It is still alive and has not left, just like in the past, supporting this young man again. The Thunder Riders looked at the young warrior in surprise.Although Ying Wuyi's knife was blocked by him, but the force of the knife passed through the spear, and his left arm was clearly broken, hanging limply on the side.But he still struggled to get up and stood there unsteadily.His head was scratched when it fell, and his face was red with blood, making that young face look extraordinarily hideous.There seemed to be a blank in those pure black eyes, but staring at those eyes made one feel chills in the heart.Facing this dying enemy, no Lei Qi dared to go up to take his head. "Let me do it!" Lei Qi rode out alone.The iron chain around his waist snapped, and the saber was raised above his head. "Slow down!" Ying Wuyi stopped drinking. It was already too late, the saber fell towards Ji Ye's top door, and the thunder rider suddenly saw the blood-smeared boy raised his head, and rushed toward his face with a frenzied murderous aura.Facing the blade, Ji Ye slammed into Lei Qi's arms with his whole body, and the saber pierced deeply into his shoulder blade.And Lei Qi felt a chill in his chest, and then it was like a fire, and his whole body suddenly lost weight. Ji Ye pulled out Qingsha with all his strength, half of his armor was stained red with scalding blood.He was like a vicious tiger who had nowhere to go, staring fiercely at his enemy with the last of his strength, but he was powerless.The whole world seemed to be spinning, the sky was black, pressing all the way to the top of his head, with blood-red clouds flying above.He stumbled back a few steps, stepped on something suddenly, and fell over. In the haze, there is a warm body beside me, with a slight fragrance.Ji Ye wiped his eyes, but couldn't see clearly, the sky and the earth were spinning in his eyes.Is it Yuran?Himeno asked himself.Should it be Yuran?Otherwise who else?Himeno felt a little warmer.He hugged Yuran tremblingly, put his face against her neck, rubbing her delicate skin. "Yu Ran," the blood dripped from his mouth slowly, "let's go, let's go quickly. They want...to kill me." Yu Ran just struggled desperately in his arms. Ji Ye was at a loss, and he felt that the person beside him was not Yu Ran, but a woman hugging him tenderly.The breath on her body is so familiar, it has come from a long time ago. "Ye'er... you must live well," as if a hand was stroking his head, "Even if you are like a dog, you must live..." "Presumptuous!" The roar woke Ji Ye up, and his consciousness suddenly recovered a little. What he was holding in his arms was not Yu Ran, but the heroic and gorgeous Li Guo princess. At this moment, the princess's face was completely pale, and she just twisted her body and tried her best to avoid this ghostly boy.Ji Ye tightened his hand and felt the blue shark in his palm. "Don't come over!" He put the blue shark across the princess's neck with all his might, "Don't come over!" "You've already been defeated!" Ying Wuyi was furious, "Could it be that the warriors of Tianzhu are just this kind of greedy for life and afraid of death? Shameless?" "Shame?" Ji Ye's face twisted, "So many of you...will kill me. All of you! Shame...what does it mean to be greedy for life and afraid of death? Everyone wants to live! Why do you say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death? I want to go back alive! If I die, no one will care about me, no one will care about me!" The blood is constantly flowing, and the will that has just recovered is lost with the blood.Himeno's words finally turned into a growl, a hoarse roar. Li Guojun and ministers were speechless, for dozens of elites from the Leidan camp, it was a shame that they had never experienced in twenty years when they lost to an eighteen-year-old boy from Xia Tang.Ying Wuyi dominates Kyushu, defeating an unknown warrior with a sword is definitely not an honor.They didn't understand that Himeno wasn't actually talking to them—he didn't know who he was yelling at. He looked at the Lei Qimen around him, and felt that the faces of those sergeants looked like Chang Ye, You Yin, Lei Yun Zhengke, and more like people he had known before.Everyone smiled ferociously at him.He stood in the endless darkness, the whole world was covered in a vast cold rain, and bright red flowed under his feet. "Ye'er... You have to live well... Mom wants to watch you live... It's good to be like a dog..." A woman's voice spoke to him from a far away place, and a pair of gentle hands approached him He combs his hair behind him. He turned his head with all his strength, and the woman in white who combed his hair behind him slowly disappeared into emptiness.He suddenly felt so clearly that the woman who combed his hair was dead!Holding a bloody knife, he stood alone in the darkness, the world was so cold. Ji Ye's body tightened for a while, and the blue shark drew a bloodstain on the princess's neck. "Slow down! You can still discuss..." Ying Wuyi shouted, but didn't know how to continue. He became a Marquis at the age of nineteen, and killed countless people with two swords. He was even stronger in his life, and never surrendered under the threat of the enemy. He was confident that he could live and die with warriors who were loyal to him.In front of his subordinates, he couldn't utter the word "negotiation".But in the hands of the enemy, it happened to be his most beloved daughter. The five thousand Li troops were helpless in this deadly silent confrontation. There was only the sound of the wind all around, and the bleak wind pulled the decaying weeds.A low cry sounded, the cry gradually became brighter, followed the wind and went away, sad and desolate. The cool tears on his hands made Ji Ye wake up, he twisted the princess's face hard, and saw the tyrannical princess burst into tears.While crying, the princess looked at her father a dozen steps away. She wanted to shout something, but her voice was already hoarse, so she couldn't.Ji Ye went to look at Ying Wuyi again, and the overlord of the troubled times had a look of desolation on his face. He stretched out a hand towards him, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a long time. At this time, Ying Wuyi, who holds the power of life and death in his hands, is just like an ordinary father.Ji Ye stared blankly for a long time, and suddenly there was a bleak smile on the corner of his mouth.The murderous aura and bloodiness that had been rushing straight to the top door subsided at this moment, and a deeper but calmer despair slowly enveloped him.What about the overlord in troubled times?No matter how much power and majesty he has, he still hopes that his daughter can survive. But in this world, not everyone can survive. Ji Ye stumbled back out, threw Qingsha away, kicked the princess hard on the buttocks, and kicked her out. "Go away! Go away!" Ji Ye smiled dryly, the laughter was full of emptiness. "Okay!" Ji Ye wiped off the blood on his face, and sat down slowly, "Which one of you will kill me?" "Jiye... Jiye!" Lu Guichen roared, he pulled Yingyue by his waist, his body leaned forward, as if he was about to rush out at any time. "My son! My son! It's useless!" Xiyuan pulled his arm. After a brief hesitation, two short thunder cavalry men approached Ji Ye like lightning. One of them protected the princess with his body, while the other gritted his teeth fiercely and slashed down with his saber without any negligence.When the saber was approaching, Ji Ye suddenly raised his head and watched the god of death fall from the top.Even if he died, he would have to see how he died with his own eyes. A fire shadow flashed past, and with a sound of "ding", the horse-chopping knife was flattened on Ji Ye's head to seal the knife, and Ying Wuyi led the horse to stop. "My lord!" Lei Qi hurriedly got off his horse. Ying Wuyi had no expression on his face, and cut off the leather rope on his daughter with a single knife, carried her onto the charcoal fire horse, and turned back to stare at the young warrior sitting on the ground.Ji Ye was raising his head. At this time, the eyes of the Eastern Lion and the future king met, and Ji Ye did not avoid it. Ying Wuyi's long knife was hung on the saddle, he turned around, raised his fiery cloak, and left against the wind.The sword-riding samurai followed behind him and held his sword on guard, and the cavalry and archer were at the end.Lu Guichen in the distance let out a long sigh of relief, and was about to lead the horse out, but was held down by Xi Yan.Xiatang Qingqi slowly advanced, followed by the formation of crossbowmen.The middle area was empty, only Ji Yeqiang was left propped up and sitting there. "Father." The princess was still terrified, she wrapped her hands around her father's neck, and pressed her cheek against his breastplate. Ying Wuyi gently stroked her daughter's head: "It's a girl after all." "Really not to kill him?" Xie Xuan rode close to Ying Wuyi's side. Ying Wuyi shook his head: "Let's wait for the future." "I'm afraid it will be a disaster in the future?" Xie Xuan sighed, and did not persuade anymore. "Child of Tianqu, what's your name?" Ying Wuyi suddenly pulled back the horse, turned around and asked. "Himeno, wild wild." "The wilderness... yes! If one day you become a famous general," Ying Wuyi laughed, "come and compete with me for the world!"
