An orphan girl in troubled times, living a miserable life

Chapter 359: Amidst the Enemies

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Ji Mo kicked Cui Zhou and the other man down one by one, and then followed up with the Mo Dao in his hand, pressing it across the back of their necks.

"Tell everyone to stop and retreat quickly."

Feeling the coldness on their necks, the two men dared not move. They slowly and awkwardly climbed up, trembling and looking at the towering palace walls with hope. Their lives were at stake, so they quickly waved their hands and ordered, "Retreat, retreat quickly, everyone, retreat quickly to this family master, no mistakes!"

The assassins who besieged Li Yaoguang and his group at the beginning did not hesitate after receiving the order from their master. They all disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like when the Tathagata came.

Upon seeing this, Cui Zhou and the others looked at Ji Mo with a flattering smile, "Haha, young man, what do you think?"

Ji Mo snorted coldly, raised his chin slightly, and pointed at the soldiers around him who were all holding long wooden cannons and facing him, "And them."

Cui Zhou and his partner froze, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Zhou family patriarch said aggrievedly: "Young man, young man! These soldiers are not my men, they are not under my control."

The head of the Cui family also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, these are soldiers who have fought on the battlefield. I can't order them around..."

"How dare you quibble? It's none of your business. Why would I cooperate with you to strangle me today?"

Seeing Ji Mo angry and the blade pressing down on his neck, the two men hurriedly begged for mercy. It was a rare unity, and they desperately shouted towards the palace wall where they were just standing, "General Lin, General Lin, please give the order, quickly collect the soldiers below, and let them retreat, all retreat!"

It's a pity that there was no movement from above, while the soldiers below were already eager to try when they were shouting, with fierce eyes, defensive and cautious.

The two men had lived a life of luxury and had never been frightened like this. Seeing no response for a long time, the two men, not giving up, called the girl again and again.

The head of the Zhou family: "Daughter, daughter, quickly ask General Lin to give the order, daughter, Dad's life depends on you, my daughter."

The head of the Cui family said: "Daughter, you are the wife of the monarch, and you are the master. Why don't you quickly order General Lin to withdraw his troops?"

Unfortunately, no one knew what was going on. Not only did they not send any signal to withdraw the troops, even their daughter did not respond.

When the two saw this, despair flashed in their eyes. Then, seeing Ji Mo's unbearable expression, they felt as if blood was gushing out from the back of their necks. For a moment, the fear of death was greater than their ambition, and they knelt down immediately.

"Young man, spare my life!"

"Young man, you must not do that!"

"Young man, calm down. I see that you are mighty and handsome, like an immortal. You opened Qijitang to save the dying and the wounded. I believe you are also a man of justice. Today, we took action, but we did this to maintain the great cause of the world, to prevent the evil woman from harming the country, and to prevent the people from suffering from the flames of war. This is not targeting you. You are famous, so why bother to wade into this mess?"

"Yes, yes, young man, we are also doing this for the country and the people. We have no choice. Young man, haven't you heard about the changes in Kyoto and the warnings from the sky? We are all..."

"Bah! Who is the witch? What bullshit is this great cause of the world? What does the great cause of the world have to do with a weak woman? My Yaoguang is sincere, kind-hearted, smart and lovely. She treats people with sincerity. She is my true love. If you continue to speak nonsense, don't blame me for drinking blood and not recognizing people with my sword!"

These two are really eloquent, and they have taken their eloquence and ability to confuse right and wrong to the extreme. No wonder they can become the head of the family. Unfortunately, he doesn't buy it. Insulting his beloved is worse than insulting him. They deserve to be killed!

With hatred in his heart, the blade moved closer, and the two people under the knife couldn't help but gasp, trembling, cowardly, and feeling aggrieved.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Young man, don't be deceived by this evil woman!"

Ji Mo was furious, "You are the demons with evil intentions!", his hatred was so deep that Ji Mo immediately swung his knife and hit one of the men on the arm as a warning.

The two had never expected that the brat in front of them would actually dare to attack them. For a moment, they were more angry than frightened. They also knew that if they didn't do something in the current situation, they would be dead. The two were embarrassed by the knife, and retreated in fear, covering their arms, and went crazy as they retreated.

"Damn it, we'll fight you!"

"Someone come, someone come, kill this bastard, kill him!" The situation changed again in an instant, making the soldiers holding spears in the square helpless.

Without orders, they could neither retreat nor move, so they had to surround the square in three layers inside and outside. The square was in a stalemate. Xu Chengfeng, who was hiding on the opposite side, could no longer bear it. He glanced at the sky, calculated the time, frowned, and then called his confidants.

"Do it."

The confidant was stunned, thinking, didn't we agree to just watch the fire from a distance? Why did we have to take action?
He was hesitant, but seeing his master's stern gaze, the confidant said no more and immediately bowed and gave some instructions.

Immediately afterwards, the army under Xu Chengfeng, which had been lying in ambush in the dark alleys of the palace and was ready to take advantage of the situation, came out in full force.

This group of people was actually larger than the previous batch of soldiers, and their weapons and equipment were also more sophisticated. When Ji Mo was still trying to control the situation in the square and safely get Li Yaoguang out of this dangerous place, there was another vibration behind him, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the square, including Li Yaoguang, who could no longer bear it and sneaked out to secretly check the situation.

Seeing the crowds of people coming, Li Yaoguang no longer cared about hiding. Worried about Ji Mo, he quickly flashed out of the space with his weapon in hand and ran towards where Ji Mo was.

"Brother, be careful, there is an ambush!"

As the voice fell, a rain of arrows shot out from behind.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Mo's heart contracted suddenly. He slapped away the two people who were in the way and flew up at the limit of his body.

"Yaoguang, be careful!"

The unexpected event caught us off guard, and in the tense atmosphere, even a stone could cause a huge change.

The soldiers in the square saw that the situation was not good and were afraid that the people would run away. Without any orders to retreat, they took action subconsciously, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Cui Zhou and his companions, who were lying on the ground, were trampled and wailing, but no one cared about them at this time. All the tense soldiers in the square held spears in their hands, guarding against the sudden attack of the army while attacking Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang.

For a moment, Ji Mo, who had successfully embraced the person in his arms, had no time to celebrate or think too much. He swung his sword to block the rain of arrows and the spears, and leaped quickly between the two armies with Li Yaoguang, spinning around to kill the enemies. The fight was bloody and intertwined. Seeing that the enemies were increasing in number, Li Yaoguang became anxious.

"Brother, this is not a solution. Go away!"

Ji Mo, however, remained unmoved, still holding on to Li Yaoguang stubbornly, waving the weapon in his hand, with silver light flashing before his eyes, and cutting his way through the blood. Only when he was able to catch his breath did he look firmly at the person in his arms.

"impossible!."

"Brother, now is not the time to act willfully!"

“Be good, don’t talk, listen to me first, okay?” After repelling the enemies with a ding, Ji Mo remained the same. He briefly looked at Li Yaoguang with deep affection in his eyes that could no longer be concealed. He hugged her and changed positions while killing her. “Yaoguang, I love you. It’s not the love that a brother has for his sister, but the love that a mountain has trees and trees have branches, and the love that makes me miss you like crazy after not seeing you for a day. So, Yaoguang, I won’t leave. You are here, and I am here!”

"Brother, don't..."

"Don't be afraid, even if it's a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​fire, or an Avici Hell, I'm here, I'm here, I'll definitely keep you safe!"

The shock and surprise came too suddenly, catching Li Yaoguang off guard. His heart was pounding. Facing such a father and brother, and facing their surging affection, Li Yaoguang was in a daze, feeling as if his whole body was floating, which was extremely unreal.

But the situation before her was one of certain death, and she had no time to think too much.

"Brother, be careful!" Seeing the danger coming again, Li Yaoguang was quick-witted and raised his crossbow to shoot quickly, killing the sneak attacker behind him. He looked at Ji Mo with a firm look in his eyes, "Brother, let's not talk about this for now. Go, I have space to save my life, go quickly!"

"Alas..." Ji Mo killed another round of enemies in front of him and flew back, but he didn't loosen his grip at all. He sighed helplessly and looked at Li Yaoguang with eyes full of nostalgia and tenderness, "Silly! Let's go together."

After he finished speaking, while fighting and repelling another wave of attacks, Ji Mo put away his knife and reached into his arms, then he threw out a packet of medicine. Taking this opportunity, Ji Mo hugged Li Yaoguang and leaped into the air, protecting her as he flew over the palace wall where Xu Chengfeng was.

What a coincidence, by now, the vigilant Ji Mo had discovered the heresy in the palace wall.

Despite the noise, there was no movement on this side of the palace building where there were obviously people. It was either because of a lack of defense or there was a bigger fish hiding here. In this case, the chance of survival must be here. So after a feint, Ji Mo decisively took Li Yaoguang and fled here.
