Ni Chu

"No." Xiang Ye shook his head and said to Mengsu: "The matter is going well, let's leave here quickly, after dawn, the Qin army may come after us."

"Without a horse, how do we go?" Meng Su looked behind Xiang Ye, and saw Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng guarding the back vigilantly, while Bai Fu stood there with a miserable face in a daze.

Xiang Ye waved his hand at Mengsu indifferently and said, "Just after the war, there must be war horses that lost their masters nearby, so look for them as you go."

The three horses who stayed beside Mengsu and the others, Xiang Ye, Mengsu and Xiang Qing were sitting on Chiji's back, Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng were riding on the same horse, and Wu Xiu was very generous He rides the same horse as Bai Fu.

Xiang Ye's guess is obviously very reasonable. There was a fierce battle just now, and there must have been horses for the dead knights, but they were so lucky that they drove for dozens of miles without seeing a stray horse. arrive.

Several people were rushing on the road, suddenly Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng, who were walking in the front, tilted their bodies, and the horses under their crotches neighed heavily and fell down.

Xiang Ye and Wu Xiu hurriedly pulled the reins to stop. As soon as they stopped, twenty or thirty men in black with short swords jumped out of the grass on both sides of the road.

Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng, who fell off the horse, were about to get up when several men in black stood beside them silently, and then put a few daggers on their necks.

"Who are you?" Xiang Ye asked, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and pressing the hilt of the long sword with the other, staring at the group of men in black who suddenly appeared.

A man in black who looked like a leader stood up. He waved his finger back and forth at Xiang Ye, then turned his head and pointed at Li Xinpeng and said, "We are looking for him. He has nothing to do with anyone else. He doesn't want to die." Get out now!"

Xiang Ye originally thought that these people were looking for Mengsu, but when the man in black said that he was not looking for Mengsu but Li Xinpeng, he was taken aback for a moment, first looked at Li Xinpeng, then looked at Li Xinpeng. The man in black clasped his hands and said, "Brother, I don't know where my brother offended you? He is still young, and he may have done something biased. In the next generation, he will apologize to everyone."

"Apologize?" The man in black pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a mocking smile: "Some things can't be solved with a gift. He offended someone who shouldn't be offended, so it's not a matter of paying a gift!"

Xiang Ye frowned, glared at Li Xinpeng who had been controlled by several men in black and shouted, "Xinpeng, who did you offend?"

Li Xinpeng, who had a few daggers around his neck, was also confused. He looked at Xiang Ye with a bitter face and said, "I don't know either!"

"My brother said that he didn't know where he offended everyone." After Li Xinpeng said something, Xiang Ye turned his face to the man in black and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm afraid you have admitted the wrong person, right?"

"Whether he admits his mistake or not, that person wants him to die, we will never let him live until tomorrow!" Seeing that Xiang Ye was still entangled and refused to leave, the man in black waved his sword fiercely towards Li Xinpeng's neck. The man in black shouted: "Do it!"

The men in black got the order, and one of them was about to slit Li Xinpeng's throat with a sword blade as soon as his arm was drawn.

"It's not that easy!" With a loud roar, a crossbow bolt whizzed towards the man in black who was doing it, and a "poof" poured into the man's forehead and passed out from the back of his head.

The man in black just moved his arm, before he could cut Li Xinpeng's skin, his forehead was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and he fell to the ground.

Shooting a crossbow arrow, Bai Fu quickly buckled another arrow on the crossbow, and shouted to the men in black surrounding him: "Who dares to touch him, there are such people!"

Dozens of men in black were frightened by Bai Fu and were frozen there like sculptures, unable to move.

Xiang Ye saw the opportunity, jumped off his horse and ran towards Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng who were under control.

The man in black controlling the two of them hadn't woken up from the shock that Bai Fu brought them. He only felt a silver light in front of his eyes, and then a sharp pain in his chest. His consciousness was quickly stripped from their bodies, and strands of grievances curled up Soar into the sky.

"You... how dare you kill people?" Xiang Ye beheaded several men in black with a single strike of his sword. The leader of the men in black was startled and angry, raised his hand and pointed his sword at Xiang Ye and roared angrily.

"Kill?" Xiang Ye tilted his head, looked at the leader of the man in black jokingly, and said lightly: "If you didn't want to kill my brother, how could I kill your people? I just want you to know, The few people with me are my brothers and sisters, and anyone who wants to touch them has to ask the sword in my hand if he agrees."

"You..." The moment Xiang Ye killed several black-clothed men with his sword, the leader of the black-clothed men realized that it was impossible for them to kill Li Xinpeng under Xiang Ye's nose. He could only stare at Xiang Ye angrily, wanting to say something threatening, but he didn't know what to say.

"What me?" Xiang Ye frowned, and said to the leader of the man in black: "My patience is very limited, if you don't want to die, get out as soon as possible!"

The leader of the men in black glared at Xiang Ye angrily, but he didn't dare to argue with Xiang Ye, so he had no choice but to say to the rest of the men in black, "Let's go!"

The group of men in black had just turned back and ran more than ten steps, when Xiang Ye suddenly shouted at their backs: "Wait a minute!"

His yell was not loud, but a large group of men in black stopped in their tracks after he yelled.

"You...what do you want to do?" the leader of the man in black turned around, looked at Xiang Ye tremblingly and asked.

"Do you have horses?" Xiang Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked with a smile at the leader of the man in black.

From the man in black, Xiang Ye and the others got several healthy horses.But when Xiang Ye was riding alone on the horseback, he felt a little lost.

When Xiang Qing and Meng Su rode the same horse with him, he was soft and fragrant, clinging to his flesh. Although the seat was a bit crowded, the two women sandwiched him, and there were warm and tender bodies on the front and back. Sticking to him, he still felt very useful.

"Xin Peng, who did you offend?" After snatching a few healthy horses from the man in black, Xiang Ye led the crowd to chase the main force of the Chu army. They couldn't run too fast because of the darkness. .

On the way, after thinking about it, Xiang Ye felt that the men in black were coming, so he asked Li Xinpeng with some doubts.

"I don't know!" Li Xinpeng was also depressed and bitter. Since he joined the Chu army, he had fought with Tongze a few times, but he had never offended anyone. Those Tongze who had fought with him It is also impossible to have the ability to hunt down here.

Seeing that Li Xinpeng was also confused, Xiang Ye shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't speak any more.

The crowd marched for nearly half an hour, and Xiang Ye saw a small village in the wilderness from a distance. He raised his hand, stopped the marching crowd and said, "I'm afraid it's hopeless to catch up with the army today. There is a village ahead. If you stay here for the time being, it won’t be too late to leave tomorrow morning.”

Shi Lei responded with a haha: "What the general said is that I am also tired. If I continue to chase, I am afraid I will not catch up with the army. I will fall asleep on the horseback first."

Xiang Ye looked at the crowd again, and seeing that there was no objection from them, he raised the reins and said, "Since no one objects, we will go to the village tonight!"

When the group arrived at the entrance of the village, they quickly smelled an ominous atmosphere.The village was so quiet, it was unusually quiet.

If there are people in the village, there must be one or two families who will raise dogs. As long as outsiders enter the village, the dogs will definitely bark.But this village is so quiet that it makes people feel a little suffocated.

Xiang Ye raised his hand to stop the advancing crowd.

"Shi Lei, go ahead and take a look at the village." After everyone stopped, Xiang Ye waved his hand at Shi Lei and said, "This village is too weird, it's abnormally quiet, go and see if there is anyone in the village."

Shi Lei nodded, rode his horse into the village.

The healthy horse moved forward slowly, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground and made a "tuk-tuk" sound.The sound of horseshoes echoed in the quiet village, and occasionally there would be the sound of a healthy horse snorting, which added a bit of eerieness to the quiet village.

Shi Lei's back gradually disappeared from the sight of Xiang Ye and others, but the sound of horse hooves in the darkness told everyone that he was still moving forward.

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats stopped, followed by a long, sharp whistle in the darkness.This long howl was not made by humans, but by some kind of beast.

Following the long howl, there was a sound of beasts biting in the darkness.Xiang Ye's body trembled suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "No, Shi Lei is in danger!"

Before the words fell, he had already rushed out on his horse.Mengsu and the others also followed closely with their legs clamping on the horse's belly, and rode their horses into the darkness.

A group of creatures that looked like wild wolves surrounded Shi Lei.Shi Lei held the spear tightly in his hand, staring nervously at the group of beasts that suddenly appeared in front of him.

He finally understood why he didn't even feel the breath of a living person after entering the village.These beasts must have attacked the village and killed everyone.

One of the largest beasts crawled low and approached Shi Lei slowly.When it moved four or five steps away from Shi Lei, it jumped up suddenly, opened its mouth that was drooling, and threw itself towards Shi Lei's chest.

Shi Lei didn't dodge either, at the same time as the beast jumped up, he stabbed fiercely with the spear in his hand.With the sound of metal hitting a hard object, the spear pierced straight into the beast's mouth.

The thrust of the spear was originally ruthless, coupled with the momentum of the beast's forward rush, the spear rod pierced through its mouth, and unexpectedly came out from its anus.

The beast's corpse was hanging on the spear, Shi Lei swung it violently, and threw the corpse out.Before he could withdraw his spear, a few gusts of wind blew beside him, and three or four beasts seized the opportunity to attack him at the same time.
