Chapter 240
When Xiao Zhuo saw Shen Yuexi riding a horse to follow, he was startled for a moment, then waved to her and shouted: "Follow quickly."

After catching up with Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi looked back and couldn't help but gasped.

Probably after receiving some signal, two more fire dragons rushed over in the distance, and the three groups of people joined together. It is estimated that there were hundreds of cavalry, like a large group of hornets with torches, chasing after them aggressively.

She was really confused.

Xiao Beiheng, that bastard.In the past, he had several chances to kill her and Xiao Zhuo, but he didn't do it.Now there is a sudden 180-degree turn, Xiao Zhuo and she have hid in a corner like Wusheng Town, and he even sent someone to kill them.

"Whoever catches Xiao Zhuo will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and he will be made a marquis of ten thousand households." The shouts came and went from behind.

Xiao Zhuo shouted: "Yue Xi, we have to get rid of them."

Shen Yuexi confidently shouted to Xiao Zhuo: "Don't worry, those three-legged cats can't catch up with us."

She's not talking blindly.After such a long period of training, her riding skills have become very superb, and the steed under her seat is like an extension of her own legs, and she can manipulate it freely.He ran at high speed with Xiao Zhuo, without losing the slightest bit of wind.

Seeing that the two gradually distanced themselves from the pursuers, Shen Yuexi was having fun when suddenly there was a swishing sound in the air.

This extremely familiar voice made all the hairs on her body stand on end.

It is a bow and arrow.

Seeing that they could not catch up, the pursuers drew their bows and fired arrows one after another.Obviously to put them to death.

"They shot arrows!" She shouted to Xiao Zhuo.

As soon as the words fell, the war horse under Xiao Zhuo neighed, knelt down on its front legs, and fell to the ground.

Shen Yuexi looked back and was shocked.Although I couldn't see clearly in the dark, I could imagine that Xiao Zhuo's horse had been hit by an arrow.

All this happened so fast that she didn't have time to think about it, she reined in the reins abruptly, the horse under her seat neighed, her front hooves were raised high, and she planed a few times in the air.

Xiao Zhuo's reaction was faster than she imagined. The moment the horse fell to the ground, he had already jumped up from the horse's back. Shen Yuexi had just reined in the horse before the horse's front hooves fell to the ground. He had already landed on Shen Yuexi's body. behind.

"Husband, hold me tight." Shen Yuexi shouted, looking sideways at the large fire behind her.

In the bright light of the fire, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army rode their horses and followed behind. Everyone held a bow in their hands and kept shooting arrows towards her.

Fortunately, she didn't light a torch here, and the Dingbei army could only fire random arrows according to the approximate position, otherwise they would have been shot into arrow stacks.

Xiao Zhuo just wrapped his arms around her waist, she had already urged the mount, hooves flew around, and started to run again.

I remember running away like this before, but at that time she was just a drag.Unlike now, she can ride the horse and run away with her husband.

The horse carried two people, and the speed was obviously not as fast as before.They could only barely keep out of the range of the bow and arrow. Although the arrows shot from behind could not hurt them, the pursuers gradually caught up.

"Husband, what should I do," Shen Yuexi asked, "If this continues, I will be caught up."

"That was the last checkpoint of Dingbei Army just now, right?" Xiao Zhuo asked.

"That's right." Shen Yuexi didn't understand why Xiao Zhuo asked these questions.

Xiao Zhuo shouted: "Just now we have crossed Zhangwu City... Those flames in front are not Dingbei Army, let's run there."

After being reminded by Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi noticed that a large piece of fire appeared in the darkness in front of them, and they rushed towards them at a very fast speed, obviously they were also cavalry.

"Is that the Xiliang Army?" she asked.

At the beginning, the Xiliang Army under Mei Pu went north to Nanping to help Xiao Beiheng capture Nanping City, and then they seemed to stop between Nanping and Zhang Wu without moving.If it was the Xiliang Army, then they had a cooperative relationship with Xiao Beiheng, wouldn't they catch Xiao Zhuo?

"I don't know, lead the pursuers over there," Xiao Zhuo said, "Our horses won't last long, so we can only take a risky gamble and give me the reins."

Xiao Zhuo has an ability, the more critical he is, the calmer he is.This composure deeply affected Shen Yuexi.Let her gradually calm down.

She handed over the reins to Xiao Zhuo, leaned against Xiao Zhuo's chest, and hugged Xiao Zhuo with her hands behind her back.

Xiao Zhuo rode his horse towards the flames on the opposite side, and he was still away from the point of shooting, so he turned his horse around and ran parallel to the formation on the opposite side.

Shen Yuexi looked at the opposite side and shouted in surprise: "It's the Xirong cavalry!"

The large flames belonged to the cavalry of the thousand-man team of Xirong. They saw a flame in the south from a distance, so they chased to check, and happened to collide with the cavalry of the Dingbei Army who were chasing.

The cavalry of the Dingbei Army thought they were the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, and they all shouted, "We are the Dingbei Army under the command of King Qi's son, and we are arresting Xiao Zhuo."

What greeted them was the rain of arrows from the Xirong Army.

The Dingbei army was unprepared, and was suddenly attacked, and dozens of horses were shot down at once.But at least they were the elite under King Qi's command, and they did not flee in panic. When they realized that they were facing the Xirong army, they immediately drew their swords and fought with the Xirong cavalry.

Shen Yuexi turned her head, leaned against Xiao Zhuo's arm and looked behind her, the two armies were fighting together.

"Husband, Dingbei Army and Xirong Army are fighting." She said happily, "They stopped chasing us."

It was still Xiao Zhuo's wit, now that there are no pursuers, the two of them must be able to escape safely now.

Xiao Zhuo poured cold water on her head: "We have been surrounded by the Xirong Army, and there is no way to escape."

Only after being reminded by Xiao Zhuo, did Shen Yuexi notice that in front of them and on the left and right, they felt densely packed with flames, all rushing towards the direction where the two of them were.

Only then did she realize that they had rushed to the vicinity of the Xirong Camp in the north of Zhangwu City.The Xirong cavalry was outflanking them from all directions.

She couldn't understand the messy Xirong language they were yelling, but she could clearly hear the two repeated words.

Xiao Zhuo.

After the Xirong people knew that the Dingbei army was chasing Xiao Zhuo, they also came to chase them.

Compared with the hundreds of Dingbei Army chasing them before, the number of cavalry of the Xirong Army now is unknown.Looking around, there are Xirong cavalry in all directions.

"Husband, does this mean that misfortunes never come singly?" Shen Yuexi smiled wryly.

Xiao Beiheng wanted to arrest Xiao Zhuo, and the Xirong people also wanted to arrest Xiao Zhuo.Although the Xirong Army and the Dingbei Army fought in a scuffle, they did not delay their cavalry at all to catch Xiao Zhuo.

"The Xirong army should have captured Nanping while Xiao Beiheng was going south, and they are now about to attack Zhangwu," Xiao Zhuo wandered around with his mount for a few times, and ran towards the dark place without fire.

After running for a while, the sound of surging water gradually sounded.

"Ahead is the river, it's the river," Shen Yuexi patted Xiao Zhuo's arm and shouted, "Husband, please stop."

She can't swim, so don't let her fall into the river.

"It's the Benniu River," Xiao Zhuo rode his horse to a cliff more than ten feet above the river, "I never thought I'd come back here."

At the beginning when he was in the north of Zhangwu, he led the Xiliang army to beat Xirong to the ground. At one time, tens of thousands of Xirong troops were blocked here, almost annihilating the opponent's entire army.

The dense flames behind him have surrounded them, and the faces of the cavalrymen of the Xirong Army can be clearly seen in the flames.

Since there was no way to escape, the two had to dismount.Xiao Zhuo drew out his sword and protected Shen Yuexi behind him.

The Xirong cavalry stopped their mounts under the cliff one after another. They neither rushed up directly nor shot arrows, as if they were waiting for something.

Shen Yuexi hid behind Xiao Zhuo, tightly clutching Xiao Yao's skirt with both hands, looking at the crowded enemy army below.

Behind is the Benniu River, and in front are thousands of Xirong cavalry.Now it's really out of the game.If she is as strong as Yang Cong... Forget it, the result is still the same, the two of them can't get out at all.

Xiao Zhuo had made Xi Rong miserable before, but now that Xi Rong met him as enemies, he was extremely jealous.

This is really over.

As she was thinking about it, the torches of the Xirong Army below retreated to both sides to make way for a path. Dozens of Xirong riders held the king's flag and escorted one person to the bottom of the cliff.

The man held his mount upright at the foot of the cliff, looked up at Xiao Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo, did you expect to meet me in this way?"

Shen Yuexi heard the voice familiar, and took a look.

It was King Doma.
