One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 33
The alert was too late, and the enemy's surprise attack came unexpectedly.

When everyone was retreating, there was silence in the forest, and a strong murderous aura seemed to condense all around in an instant.Hearing the faint sound of weapons piercing through the air, Yuan Zhao raised his head in astonishment, just in time to see several sharp knives piercing towards her as fast as lightning.

He Chun, Jin Niang and other guards were quick to block and rushed forward.

One of the guards raised his hand, and a blue light whizzed out, circling in the air like a spirit snake.

This is the flag flower signal of the Hou Mansion, informing others to come to support.The enemy is coming fiercely, and you must go all out to kill a way out.

Fortunately, although Yuan Zhao is the princess, his skill is not much worse than others.

She is not strong enough, but she excels in her lightness and agility, and she has received the oral teachings of Taoist Gongzhi. She practices hard every day, and once the sword is out of its sheath, one of the swords is knocked down.Of course, the opponent underestimated the enemy, thinking that mere children's kung fu is mediocre.

People who are soft on small animals may not be kind.

Especially for those who came to kill him, Yuan Zhao tried his best to stab the opponent's vital points, and his moves were fierce and powerful.The dangerous situation made her mind go blank, she didn't have any fear or panic, she just calmly thought about how to get out of danger.

She had already seen murder or something when she was three years old.

Over the years, she was assassinated from time to time. Even if she hadn't killed anyone, she had hurt someone.She also often hunts, and in her eyes there is not much difference between killing and hunting.Especially in this kind of situation where you can live and die, how can you care about whether you should kill him or not?

Her decisiveness reassured the guards around her, their morale rose, and their murderous aura grew stronger.

However, although the opponent suffered countless casualties, one batch fell down and another batch came again in a blink of an eye, endlessly beheaded.The guards not far away have not arrived for a long time. They must have been intercepted, or they were wiped out by the entire army in a surprise attack.

If the situation dragged on for a long time, it would be unfavorable to our own side. The guards reached a consensus during the fight and asked He Chun and Jin Niang to retreat first and run in the direction of the guards camped by the roadside.

Unexpectedly, the three of them were ambushed within a few steps.

Fortunately, at this time, the guards camped by the roadside finally arrived and quickly joined the fight.Taking advantage of the chaos, Yuan Zhao took a glance and found that two guards were missing. After asking, he found out that they were indeed ambushed on the side of the road.

It can be seen that someone took great pains to kill her.

Who is it?Is it really the sixth princess?In my impression, although this person has a vicious heart, he doesn't have this kind of patience.Maybe she remembered wrongly, after all, she was still young back then, so she didn't remember some people and things clearly.

While thinking about it, Yuan Zhao fought and retreated with all the guards, and fled to another direction in the dense forest.

On the way to escape, Yuan Zhao rushed left and right under the cover of the guards.Reluctantly, there were ambushes in all directions, and everyone was forced back to the encirclement in the forest time and time again.

Bing is expensive and fast, and the opponent has a large number of people, and a protracted battle will depress one's spirit, and sooner or later he will be captured.

Ah no, it seems that the other party is determined to put her to death, and will not let her escape with her life.

Yuan Zhao, who was guarded by He Chun and Jin Niang, distractedly recalled the topographic map he had seen before departure.Fleeing in the direction of the main road, the guards who came to support said that there were many traps set up there, and the two guards folded there.

If you run directly from the current position to the direction of the North City Gate of Nanzhou, you will see a sea of ​​forest, which is equivalent to killing all the way to the intersection on the outskirts of the city gate.

Everyone's energy is limited, and the chance of dying halfway is greater.

It is even more impossible to escape to the back of the main road. Our current location is the closest to the North Gate of Nanzhou, and we can get there in half a day on horseback.If it goes in the opposite direction, it will take three days to leave this forest even without stopping.

Therefore, they could only flee to the left.

"Break out to the left, pass through the village and wait for an opportunity to leave from the stone forest over there." Yuan Zhao whispered when everyone surrounded him back to back.

"No!" Jin Niang, who was good at observing, objected, and turned her head, "There is a plain, and there are archers on the other side!"

Not only that, but surrounded by high mountains, it is easy to enter and difficult to exit.

"It has been abandoned for many years, and the weeds grow taller than people. Let's sneak out of the sight of the archers quickly." Yuan Zhao insisted, this is the first time she gave orders during the assassination process, "Listen to me, break out to the left !"

The guards and her lightness skills are good, and the enemy's use of crowd tactics in the forest caused her to lose the wind.If there are few people, you will flee, if you are weak, you will avoid.Since there is no doubt that you will die if you fight hard, it is better to survive the Jedi.

Even if the enemy has set traps in the plains, it is their only chance of escape.

The situation was critical, and there was no time to argue about right or wrong. She was the master, and the guards who received the order immediately focused on one area, forced a gap and rushed out.

……

On the left is a small plain and hills, just as Jinniang said, surrounded by mountains, and there used to be a small village inside.

After Bei Cang's death, there was chaos everywhere, and bandits ran rampant. This village, which was a little far from the north gate of Nanzhou, was slaughtered overnight, and the blood of the villagers almost stained the entire plain.There used to be refugees who settled here, but were woken up by screams in the middle of the night.

Some officials came to investigate, but they couldn't find anything after hearing the screams every night.

The families who were so frightened that they settled down all moved out, and would rather go into exile than live here.Over time, the village became more and more dilapidated, and the fields were barren. After the crops planted by the previous people withered, the weeds grew wildly to the height of a human being.

On the other side of the village are rolling mountains, with a cliff in the middle, and a river winding down at the bottom of the cliff.

Uncle Ji told her that Dad once ordered people to dig a tunnel in a house on the edge of the village, and there were three intersections inside to escape.One of the intersections is located on the cliff, and the other exit is at the bottom of the ruined temple stove in Nanzhou City.

The last exit is in the forest, surrounded by enemies, which is not considered.

This secret passage was dug for her in the city, and only Uncle Ji and her knew about it.Whether she is in danger in the suburbs or in the city, she can use this to escape.The cunning rabbit's three caves, it's not a last resort, she doesn't want to expose the back road her father gave her.

But right now, more and more people came to kill her, and those who protected her fell one by one.

It was because of her willfulness that she insisted on going out to hunt and breathe before returning to Beijing.

Dad said that as a general, you must love your soldiers.She was the one who brought them all to danger, and if possible, she wanted to bring them back safely herself.

In an instant, everyone rushed out of the dense forest, and the eyes were wide open.

Taoist Gongzhi taught that at this critical moment of life and death, Yuan Zhao didn't need the guards to run away, and sneaked into the dense grass by himself, and the guards fell behind her instead.

Not far after sneaking in, suddenly, a barbed wire fence rose from the ground.

Sure enough, there was an ambush!
The alert Yuan Zhao's eyes froze, and he focused his luck on the long sword in his hand. He swung violently towards the iron net that was about to hit him, hiss, and she forcibly cut a big opening in the barbed wire in front of him, which was big enough for an adult to pass through. .

The sword given by my father is really extraordinary!

This is her only thought at the moment.

In the blink of an eye, all the guards passed by one by one and came out through the net.The plan failed, and at the same time as all arrows were fired from behind, the assassin hiding in the bushes tried to intercept them again desperately.

In the blink of an eye, human figures and sword lights were intertwined among the dense grass, and grass clippings and blood light were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish for a while.
