“Order, everyone extinguish the torches, no noise, those who disobey the order are beheaded!”

On the official road, the cold wind of Xiao Kill blew, bringing a bit of bloody smell.

Zhou Bai held a longbow and stood with the guards in the front row, facing the terrifying night that could not be seen clearly.

Suddenly, looking up at the sky, there were no stars and no moon, and a black cloud was sinking.

“Snap.”

The first drop of rain in this late night fell on Zhou Bai’s forehead.

“Click…” The sound of the hurried horse’s hooves got closer and closer, and everyone’s weapons were gripped tighter. Even the shouts

of those cavalry could be heard, but those few shouts were obviously accented differently.

“Drive, Hu Yanhe, you can’t run away, quickly dismount, you can still save your life.” A thick voice in pursuit from behind shouted.

“Bah, if you dare to intercept the messenger who offered to the Son of Heaven of Daxu, you will surely die without a corpse!”

“Prince, you go quickly, I will take people to the back of the palace, there is obviously a large piece of torches here before, there must be someone nearby.”

“Kill…!”

“Kill Hu Yanhe, reward a hundred gold, seal a thousand households!”

Immediately followed by the neighing of war horses, as well as shouts and shouts of killing, the sound of swords colliding sounded mixed, which was the insufficient horsepower of the cavalry in front and was caught up.

The caravan’s car formation stood on the side of the official road, not far from the place of engagement, but because it was in the lightless night, it was not discovered for a while.

“Prince? We don’t have a royal palace in Bei’an County. The leader wondered.

“Zhou Gongzi, this accent is not owned by me Daxu.” Qi Hong is worthy of being an old treasurer who has been in business for many years, and he immediately heard that something was wrong.

“Well, the people of the steppe gold country, I don’t know how they lived the bitter pass, there are actually so many cavalrymen.” Zhou Bai’s expression was solemn, and he was also a little puzzled.

You must know that Pingcang County not only has the natural barrier of Cangshan and Kukou Pass, but also Cangbei County as a frontline buffer north of Cangshan, is this not the Jinguo grassland?

It can only be said that the water is very deep.

Qi Hong Laocheng held a heavy position, pretending not to hear Zhou Bai’s whisper, but silently calculating the probability of surviving against the cavalry impact.

After the first rain fell, the low rain clouds could no longer be held, and the icy continuous raindrops fell on the dry mud, declaring the climax of the fight.

Fortunately, since the caravan decided to rush overnight, of course, it observed that it might rain at night, and its clothes had long been draped over everyone.

But for the pursuing cavalry, this rain naturally added a lot of variables, Hu Yanhe may take advantage of the rain to escape, or he may be caught because the mud is wet and his speed is reduced.

Click~

A wrist-thick lightning bolt cut through the sky, and at that moment, the bright electric light illuminated the earth, and also let many cavalry see the silent car formation not far away.

Zhou Bai sighed, and could only look at the calamity that suddenly came.

No way, there are always more than a hundred people, and a circular car formation is placed here, it is impossible for all the cavalry to not touch.

The galloping horses in the front found the formation and immediately rushed over, it was Hu Yanhe, who was eager to survive.

Zhou Bai made a gesture, and the captain of the guard who followed Qi Hong immediately stepped forward and shouted angrily: “Stop coming, and those who attack the car formation will not be killed!”

“Woo~” Four or five war horses were strangled by the strongman on their backs and hurriedly stopped a few meters in front of the carriage.

So close, even if it can’t be as clear as the day, you can still faintly see the embarrassment of the incoming people.

The “nobleman” in the center of the leader, his pocket is nowhere to be seen, his shawl is scattered, only the luxurious horse armor draped on his mount, and the night jade with the knife on his waist can show that his identity is extraordinary.

The guards on the side of the “nobleman” are also a little embarrassed, but the blood stains and murderous aura on their bodies are more admirable, and loyalty and courage are always noble character.

One of the pro-generals immediately stepped forward and shouted into the car.

“We are the Shangsu mission of the Jin Kingdom to Shenjing, and we are making Hu Yanhe for our prince, please let me wait to enter the car formation for a while, and I will definitely thank you afterwards!”

Zhou Bai did not let the others answer, but personally replied: “The night is raining hard, it is difficult to identify your identities, please go around the car formation, there is a post station ten miles behind you to ask for help.” There

were fewer and fewer blocking guards left behind him, and Zhou Bai still refused to let them, and the “nobleman” Hu Yanhe couldn’t hold his breath.

He rolled over and dismounted, and stepped forward against the swords of the caravan guards until all the archers were aiming at him.

“I am the son of King Daikin, the third in line to the throne, and I was ordered to send an envoy to Daxu, but I was intercepted and killed by domestic rebels on the way, and now only you can save me.” Hu Yanhe said as he threw an object into the car formation.

Zhou Bai picked it up and saw that it was actually a golden seal, engraved with the three large characters of Yin Shan Hou.

This identity is really nailed down, Yin Shan Marquis you want to say that the mainland of Daxu does not know is good to say, but who in the northern border county does not know, often only the most favored prince of the Jin Kingdom can be conferred this title.

The grassland has few mountains, but the scale of the Yin Mountain is no less than the majestic peaks of Daxu, and those who can occupy this place can often establish a huge grassland kingdom.

Although the Jin Kingdom has built a new city and a new capital because of many generations of development, the status of Yin Mountain in the hearts of the Jin people is undoubted.

Hu Yanhe saw that his identity had been confirmed, so he continued: “If Benhou dies here, presumably you will not be able to escape the blame of the Son of Heaven, if you let me in, it will be equivalent to saving my life, and the grace of saving my life will not be rewarded for my foothold!”

“Young Master Zhou?” Seeing that Zhou Bai’s brows furrowed and did not speak, Qi Hong couldn’t help but remind.

The status of Yin Shan Hou is high enough in the Jin Kingdom, and there are actually “rebels” who dare to intercept and kill, so who is behind it?

Saving one side will definitely offend the other, and …

Zhou Bai turned around and whispered in Qi Hong’s ear: “Hong Treasurer, this can not stop the two hundred horses for the time being, the key is whether the benefits brought by the subsequent Yin Shan Marquis are worth your sacrifice so many soldiers.”

Qi Hong was stunned, and also very hesitant, the consequences of saving or not saving may be unbearable for them.

“You decide, the young master has an explanation, and the emergency will listen to you.” Qi Hong was difficult to decide, and gritted his teeth and handed over the life of their caravan to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai took a deep look at Qi Hong and ordered, “The Son of Heaven’s Shangsu mission has been attacked, and I must come to the rescue and open a gap to let them in.”

No way, just tried it, no matter which choice he was ready to make, the last calamity did not leave, but had already pulled Zhou Bai’s luck into calamity.

The lesser of two evils, it is better to offend the nobles of the Jin State behind the rebels than to offend the Son of Heaven.

So many people, unless they are all silenced, otherwise the next day, the news that they will not be saved in the face of the Shangsu mission will spread.

“Kill, catch up, for the sake of sealing the wife and the son!”

The gap had just opened, and the pursuers, who had been blocked for a moment, finally rushed in. “Huh

…” A rain of arrows poured towards the place where Hu Yanhe had just left.

Several caravan guards were unprepared and were shot on the spot, and bloody gas instantly filled the car formation.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and calamities can be resolved, but they cannot be escaped.

Zhou Bai stared at the black calamity that erupted, and suddenly remembered this decision to face the calamity, hoping that he had not done anything wrong.
