Chapter 251 She Will Bleed
Tang Juncheng saw Chu Xi's gesture and immediately raised his hand to repeat her gesture, signaling the five thousand elite soldiers behind him to retreat.
Seeing that Tang Juncheng and others around him were retreating quickly, Zhou Yichen instinctively pulled the reins, intending to go towards the canyon to rescue Chu Xi.
Just as his horse moved, another horse came forward. It was Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao knew how important the Crown Prince was in His Highness' heart, so he did not dare to look down on him.
So, when His Highness was about to rush forward, he quickly rode his horse to block Zhou Yichen's way and whispered to dissuade him, "Your Highness, the prince is an expert in martial arts and has excellent lightness skills. Ordinary battle formations will not scare him. You don't have to worry."
Zhou Yichen didn't say anything, but looked at Zheng Hao coldly, as if saying - you dare to stop me?
"Your Highness, with the prince's martial arts, it is not a problem for him to escape. If you rush forward rashly at this time, it will... distract the prince." Zheng Hao's words were already quite tactful.
You know, he is a straightforward warrior. If it were someone else, he would not say that.
Zhou Yichen is very smart and has been gifted since childhood. Even though Zheng Hao's words are euphemistic...
I still heard the true meaning in his words.
Zheng Hao's words can be translated as - if you go up now you will be a hindrance.
His brows furrowed, "...Let's just leave it alone and retreat."
Zheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion. His Highness was good in every way except that he valued the Crown Prince too much.
Being loyal and righteous is a good thing, but in the fight for succession, it is no longer a good thing.
Even though the prince was his study partner and they grew up together, their relationship was different from that of others.
Caring so much, in the end... makes people feel uneasy.
Zheng Hao sighed. The only thing to be thankful for was that the prince was both civil and military, not only would he not be a drag on His Highness, but he could also lend a helping hand. Otherwise, given His Highness's concern for the prince...
The Crown Prince will inevitably become Your Highness's weak point and the best way for others to control Your Highness.
Zhou Yichen retreated with the crowd with a grim expression, looking back from time to time, and saw a young man in brocade clothes sitting high on a horse, and he didn't know when he drew his sword and held it tightly.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail, only with a white headband that swayed in the wind.
Just like himself, he is flamboyant and unrestrained, making it difficult to look away.
Chu Xi seemed to realize something and turned around suddenly, seeing Zhou Yichen retreating while looking back at her.
She curled her lips into a faint smile, and nodded slightly towards Zhou Yichen in the wind, as if telling him: Don't worry about her, she will be safe.
Whether it was Zhou Yichen who was present or other people who accidentally witnessed this scene, no matter how many years passed, they could never forget it.
It is hard to forget the boy’s smile, but it is also hard to forget his flamboyant and dazzling appearance.
Seeing that they had retreated to a safe area, Chu Xi mounted his horse without a second thought, drew his sword, and flew toward the canyon.
The ambushers on the top of the mountain saw that the cavalry were about to enter their ambush circle, and then suddenly retreated, as if they had noticed something...
This made the general in charge of the ambush frown. What was going on?
Why did they suddenly retreat?
The general in charge of the ambush this time was Qi Jianshu's personal guard. He had sent people to investigate before and found signs of fighting in the canyon, but not many corpses.
This report made Qi Jianshu feel uneasy, so he immediately sent his personal guards to lead two thousand people to ambush here.
Weeds and roots.
He must not let the reinforcements successfully reach Xi'an.
Even though he knew that two thousand men would not play a big role, in order to capture the city of Xi'an as soon as possible, he could not mobilize too many troops.
Two thousand people...
To ambush the reinforcements which may number tens of thousands.
No matter how you look at it, you know this trip will not return.
But as Qi Jianshu's personal guard, he had long been prepared to die on the battlefield.
As long as they can become famous in one battle and let the Qi family return to its former heights, those people in the Western Chu court who look down on the Qi family will once again realize how powerful the Qi family is.
The guards are willing to sacrifice their lives.
But...the people below seemed to have noticed something, and not only did they not enter the canyon, they suddenly retreated!
"General, should we take action? If we don't, they will run away." A soldier next to him urged.
The guards hesitated whether to take action or not. They had not yet reached the maximum range of the bows and arrows, and even the rocks that they had prepared before were now... useless.
If they act rashly, with the limited number of people they have, it is hard to say how long they can hold out!
Two thousand against...five thousand people, they are bound to lose.
But if they enter the canyon, the rocks and bows and arrows will play a certain role and they will be able to gain the upper hand.
"General, look, the young man down there has suddenly disappeared..."
The young man who was riding on the horse suddenly disappeared like a ghost!
No, not suddenly either.
The young man stomped his feet hard on the horse's back and flew towards the cliff.
His lightness skill is extraordinary.
Even though several archers were already trying to aim at the boy.
But...even though so many of them were aiming together, they still couldn't aim accurately.
Chu Xi seemed to have wings and could fly at a very fast speed.
The archers were completely helpless against him.
It was under such circumstances that Chu Xi suddenly appeared behind the ambush troops in the valley on the right.
A thousand ambushes were still unsure when facing a young man who suddenly appeared. They seemed to be frightened, and some of them even dropped their weapons.
Her move was so swift and sudden that the soldiers lying in ambush on the top of the mountain had not yet reacted before they saw the young man floating behind them like a banished immortal.
"Are you waiting for us?" Chu Xi asked with a smile.
The clean voice that is difficult to distinguish between male and female is like the gurgling of water, which makes people tremble.
Everyone was shocked. Some held swords, some held bows and arrows. They turned around and stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Finally someone reacted, pointed a sword at Chu Xi, and shouted, "Kill him!"
Chu Xi was shocked and frightened when facing these people. At the same time, he was not afraid at all when they surrounded him together. He did not retreat, but faced them with sword in hand.
Her swordsmanship is a bit more fierce than the original owner's.
After Yunzhou's battle with the Nalan clan, Chu Xi realized that the Gentleman Sword did not have an advantage in the battle.
Faced with the killer's fierce moves, even if she is more skilled in martial arts and has greater internal strength, she could still be injured.
To this end, she specially trained herself on the speed of sword drawing and the attacking moves.
If she strikes again now, blood will be drawn.
The tip of the sword was pointed at the people who rushed up. Before they could get close to her, they were injured by the sword tip. Two people died and two were injured.
Chu Xi's eyes were firm and cold, the tip of his long sword pointed downward, blood dripping down from the bloodstained sword, "I said, if you collaborate with the enemy and betray your country, you will die."
The rebels' hearts trembled, "!!"
In full view of the crowd, two of the first four people who rushed up fell down without even having time to scream, and the other two retreated repeatedly, covering their wounds that were bleeding.
They looked at the young man as if he were a ferocious beast and dared not get even a bit closer to him.
They didn't recognize him at first, until Chu Xi flew up with the help of Qinggong, then everyone could see clearly that this person... wasn't he the young man who had fought with Qi Jianshu and defeated him easily?
