Chapter 198
Li Xiaodao squatted in front of the window enduring great sleepiness.

In the past, when she was at home with her husband, she would wake up at this time and go back to sleep, but not today.

While yawning, she stared at the opposite official post, and not long after, she found that the window of Xianggong's room was closed, and after a while, Xianggong came out of the building.

Next, he will definitely have to leave the room and go to the stable to lead the horse. He must be faster than him!

Li Xiaodao quickly pulled himself together, grabbed his luggage and rushed downstairs.

Quickly settled the bill with the shopkeeper, then went to the stable to lead the horse, Li Xiaodao hid on the side of the inn door and looked out carefully, the husband had just led the horse and was walking out.

She hid for a while, and heard that the husband was riding off, so she led the horse and poked her head out, then quietly walked out of the inn, and followed the husband to start off on horseback.

On the morning of the fifth day after leaving Jinsha Town, Pei Zhiqi waited by the river until it was bright, only then did he see a boatman coming from the opposite bank.

Pei Zhiqi observed that the boat was not small, and it would not be a problem for two horses or a dozen people to sit on it, but when he took the ferry, he was the only passenger.The lack of people is probably the reason why this boat only crosses three times a day.

After successfully crossing the river, Pei Zhiqi then hurried towards Anzhou, and passed the fifth day safely.

On the morning of the sixth day, when he got up, he only felt his heart beating fast, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

If you hurry up, you can reach Anzhou tonight, and if you slow down, you can arrive tomorrow morning. I hope nothing will go wrong.

Pei Zhiqi galloped along the official road. In the morning, there were paddy fields and ponds on both sides of the road, and the terrain was relatively gentle. But at noon, he came to an official road sandwiched by two mountains on the left and right. There were dense bamboo forests planted on both sides of the official road.

Pei Zhiqi was in a bad mood. At noon, when he got off his horse to eat dry food, he habitually touched the ground, and found that the assassin behind him was very close.So he collected the dry food that he hadn't had time to eat, got on his horse and continued on his way.

However, it was still too late, waiting to cross the river wasted too much time after all, and he also understood that it was very difficult to rely on this horse that occasionally pulled carts in the city to get rid of the horses that the assassins were used to running around every day.

It will be a matter of time before he is caught up, and he still has to face Jieyan after all.

When the assassin was visible to the naked eye, Pei Zhiqi decided not to run away. He suddenly reined in the horse and let the horse turn around and run back in the opposite direction, passing Jie Yan who was riding the horse.

Seeing this, Jie Yan also reined in the horse to turn the horse around, and the other assassin who came with him did the same.When the two of them turned around, Pei Zhiqi had already rode his horse in the opposite direction and pulled away from them for a considerable distance, but Pei Zhiqi did not continue to run back. After a certain distance, Pei Zhiqi turned his horse's head around again, facing Jie Yan and another famous assassin.

Pei Zhiqi understood that these two were not all assassins, they arrived first only because they were the first to take the ferry, and the ferry could carry two horses at a time.

The longer it takes, the assassins behind will gradually catch up, so the chances of survival will become smaller and smaller.

Pei Zhiqi didn't get off the horse, but just pulled out the sword and held it in his hand, quietly watching Jie Yan and another assassin opposite him.

"Boss, I'll go first," the assassin said to Jie Yan.

Jie Yan made a gesture to stop him: "You are not his opponent, you will die in vain. I will meet him, if it is difficult to win for a while, you find a chance to shoot a poisonous arrow."

"Yes", the assassin drove the horses and went around to the side of the road near the bamboo forest, ready to observe the battle situation and wait for an opportunity to act.

Jie Yan pulled out the knife on the horse's back, only to see that the knife was long and wide, and there was a strange blue light shining on the blade.

Jie Yan looked at Pei Zhiqi who was on the horse not far away, and said first, "I underestimated you, I didn't expect you, a scholar, to practice martial arts. But don't worry, I'll send you on your way today", and then he said Ma Qiang raised the knife and charged towards Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi didn't answer, he settled his posture, holding the rein tightly in his hands, while Jie Yan rushed over, Pei Zhiqi also rushed forward on the horseback with a sound of "drive--".

The two met head-on, the sword and the knife collided violently, clanging, and sparks bursting out.

After Pei Zhiqi blocked Jie Yan's attack, he immediately turned his horse's head to avoid being attacked from behind, and Jie Yan did the same.

Although he barely blocked Jieyan's knife, Pei Zhiqi only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and that Jieyan's strength was not a little bit stronger than his own.

"It's not bad, the reaction is fast, but the strength is a bit weak, it is a good material for martial arts, but unfortunately, you were born in the wrong place." After finishing speaking, Xie Yan got off the horse and said to Pei Zhiqi: "I think you also want to fight quickly Quick decision, I don't know how long the fight will last, so let's get off the horse and compete."

Pei Zhiqi also got off the horse, and asked: "Who sent you, was it Prince Rong? If there is a grievance between the parents, is there no possibility of mediation? Why do you have to take my life?"

Hearing this, Jieyan sneered and said, "It turns out that your adoptive parents haven't told you that your face is almost exactly the same as Wang Ye Zhucheng's. Well, let you be a fool, I don't know if Wang Ye wants to kill you or not. All I know is that you must die here for Concubine Yan today." After finishing speaking, Jie Yan raised his knife and charged directly at Pei Zhiqi. Suddenly, he was already approaching Pei Zhiqi's side with his knife in hand.

She looks almost exactly the same as Wang Ye Zhucheng?Anti-inflammatory means...

However, even if he had just learned such a shocking news about his life experience, Pei Zhiqi didn't have time to think about it. Just a momentary distraction made him almost die directly under the knife of Jie Yan.

When Jie Yan swung the knife down, Pei Zhiqi hurriedly recovered from the shock, and blocked the long knife with a temporary move, but unexpectedly, he didn't know what kind of move the long knife was, and the tip of the knife moved in a strange way. The blade of the sword temporarily changed its direction and stabbed towards his back.

If he didn't wear soft armor, Pei Zhiqi felt that he could dodge it, but wearing soft armor, his body speed was far less than that of light clothes. Although he tried his best to dodge sideways, the blade was very long, and it still made a cut on his back .

The clothes on his back were torn, revealing the soft armor protecting him inside.Fortunately, there is a soft armor, otherwise, judging by the color of Jieyan's blade, it must have been painted with poison.

"Oh?" Jie Yan was slightly surprised: "You are actually wearing soft armor?"

Pei Zhiqi took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Jie Yan, and did not answer.

Jie Yan snorted and said, "I'm wearing soft armor and still have such a quick reaction, I feel more and more that it's a pity to kill you. But, what's even more pity is that I never have the habit of being merciful when I perform tasks. .”

After saying this sentence, Jie Yan just approached Pei Zhiqi step by step, but he was not in a hurry to make a move.

Pei Zhiqi retreated step by step, always keeping a certain distance from him.

Jie Yan walked forward and said: "Then, how do you deal with it next? Let me tell you in advance, my knife is coated with poison, which will kill you if you touch it. Now that I know you are wearing soft armor, then the next knife, It will be stabbed in places where you don't have soft armor, such as your arms, such as your legs, or your face that looks like a prince."

Jie Yan raised his knife, prepared to attack, and said, "I'm going to continue, are you ready?"
