Seeing that her face was pale, Qiao Qianxue picked her up and used her body as a shock absorber.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be in Jingzhou soon." Captain Li Niu rubbed his churning stomach and said, "We can rest for a day or two when we get to Jingzhou."

The journey downstream was both labor-saving and fast. In just over three days, we covered the distance that previously would have taken more than a month.

If there were no interference from the aftermath of the battle, it would be even faster.

"You know, the Lord of Southern Xinjiang is a strange man," Li Niu forced a smile and talked about his experiences in Southern Xinjiang in order to change the subject. "He loves dancers to the point of obsession."

"Obsessed?" Jiang Ke'er was very curious, "How obsessed?"

"He bought 30% of the silk produced in Jinguan City, and the only use of this silk for him was to make clothes for the dancers." Li Niu couldn't help but sigh, "So far, he has probably spent hundreds of millions of copper coins just to buy silk, not to mention the huge rewards he offered and the expenses for training dancers."

This... is indeed extreme.

Especially for a king.

Southern Xinjiang is not rich to begin with, and he spent such a huge amount of money on a personal hobby. His reputation among the people of Southern Xinjiang must be very bad.

"This Lord of Southern Border even swore to the world..."

"As long as someone can show him a satisfactory dance, he is willing to meet any conditions of the other party."

"But unfortunately," Li Niu shook his head, "no one has ever been able to do it, so this condition has become empty talk."

"That's strange," Jiang Ke'er was puzzled, "Could it be that Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance couldn't satisfy him?"

When mentioning Gongsun Da Niang, Li Niu sighed.

"Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance is more like an opportunity that can only be encountered but not sought after. It is not something that can be seen just by wishing to see it."

"Ok?"

"When Madam Gongsun wants to dance, she can dance. It all depends on her mood. When she doesn't want to dance, no one can force her to dance with a sword," Li Niu explained. "Her sword dance is not a performance. No one is worthy of her performance... Even the Lord of Southern Xinjiang is not qualified, and will not arouse her interest."

"So, the Lord of Southern Xinjiang has not seen the real Gongsun Sword Dance yet?" Jiang Ke'er asked.

"Yes," Li Niu sighed, "The Lord of Southern Border always lamented that he had searched all over the world for dancers, but had never seen a real dancing skill. It was a bit ridiculous... But to see Gongsun Sword Dance, one needs good fortune, which cannot be bought with any wealth."

The things you dream of are always out of reach.

He is more than just the lord of Southern Xinjiang.

How pitiful.

Jiang Ke'er shook her head: "Why are you so stupid?"

The guys all agreed with this and complained that the Lord of Southern Xinjiang was a real fool.

If they were in a position where they had the power to influence everyone, they would definitely spend the money in the right places.

For example, buying endless wine and endless meat... oh, and also having concubines that are changed every day.

After hearing Li Niu's story, Jiang Ke'er remembered the story of the dancer from the previous dynasty.

The old shopkeeper said the rest of the story takes place in southern Xinjiang.

Once you arrive at Jingzhou City, you have reached the gateway to southern Xinjiang, and the story of the dancer also took place in Jingzhou City.

Looks like we'll be hearing the sequel soon.

Time passed quickly and it was already the morning of the fourth day.

Hero Taibai no longer knew where he was going.

The white apes that woke up in the early morning were calling out "Ooooooo" on the cliffs on both sides, looking down at the hairless apes on the boat with the eyes of looking at them as if they were fools.

In their eyes, the hairless apes floating in the river were so ugly, so ugly and stupid that they were foolish enough to trap themselves on a log in the middle of the river.

"Sniff sniff~"

Jiang Ke'er's nose twitched, wanting to feel some freshness. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing downstream, so she could only smell the smell coming from upstream, and she was tired of those smells.

"Look over there!"

As the boat moved forward, a high mountain disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the wide and open river surface, the silhouette of a city emerged.

Jingzhou City was built by the river, otherwise it would not be called Jiangling.

The old dock and the estuary of the river were located under the city gate, and the boatman skillfully steered the boat towards the mooring area.

"Strange, where are the people?" The boatman muttered. He had to swim over and pull the rope himself, cursing, "What a bunch of lazy people."

The boat finally reached the shore and was tied to the wooden piles at the pier.

The guys jumped down cheering. The feeling of being back on the ground made their legs feel heavy, but it felt great.

"Looks like I can take a good rest now."

Li Niu breathed a sigh of relief and jumped on the floating bridge at the dock.

Then there is Qiao Qianxue.

Finally, Jiang Keer also climbed up yawning.

"boom!!!"

"careful!"

Almost at the moment she stood on the floating bridge, a heavy black shadow suddenly fell on her head!

Qiao Qianxue quickly pushed her back a step, so that the heavy shadow did not fall on her head!

Jiang Ke'er only heard a loud bang, and the black shadow immediately smashed the floating bridge, and the body was deeply nailed into a wooden stake of the floating bridge.

The sudden loss of balance made Jiang Keer unable to stand at all, so she quickly jumped forward to the other side of the broken bridge.

Qiao Qianxue grabbed her hand and pulled her hard to the shore.

so close!

I was almost smashed into mud!

Jiang Keer looked back—it was a corpse wearing a soldier’s clothes.

He fell from the city wall.

No head.

After a while, the head fell into the water with a "pa" sound, bringing with it a belated rain of blood.

The head floated with the waves, with only half of its terrified and resentful eyes exposed above the water, staring at the caravan members like an evil ghost ready to take their lives.

Everyone was so frightened that their hands and feet turned cold and they were sweating all over.

The scarlet blood floated along with the river water, slowly spreading like a beautiful red glow.

Li Niu looked up and his face, which had just turned red, turned pale again: "Don't just stand there! Run!!!"

When everyone looked up, they realized that the headless corpse was just the beginning!

Then the bodies fell from the top of the city wall as fast as dumplings and fell to the ground.

The waves splashed with blood everywhere, like an exploding cannonball!

Some of the bodies fell into the water, some were nailed to the wooden piles of the dock, and some fell to the hard ground.

They fell from the city walls, which means...

Jingzhou City.

Fallen!

(1/1)

51. An acquaintance arrives

Blood slowly flowed down the city wall, as if someone had splashed red paint on the top of the wall.

The bodies of the soldiers fell one after another, and the shadows of swords and knives were flickering.

The city of Jingzhou fell.

The fully armed southern Xinjiang soldiers had suddenly rushed into the city and seized control of the city gates and walls.

All the soldiers stationed there were obviously in great danger, and black smoke rose into the sky from the direction of the government office in the city.

——The entire Jingzhou city has fallen into the control of the enemy.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

All the guys were trembling, and the caravan walked quickly into the woods along the shadow of the city wall like lost dogs, not even daring to breathe.

Even though there is a boat, you can't take it because the boat is too obvious.

We must hide in the forest before the other party finds us...

"Hey!"

What are you afraid of?

Suddenly, a roar came from the city wall that Jiang Keer couldn't understand.

When everyone looked up, they saw a soldier wearing a barbarian bone helmet pointing at the caravan under the city and shouting loudly to his companions.

"Shit! Run!"

Li Niu shouted loudly, and everyone dropped the goods on their backs and ran away!

At this life-and-death moment, I don't have the energy to care about the goods. I can only leave them here and pick them up later when I have the chance.

Otherwise, the caravan will be wiped out and end up with nothing gained!

"call out--"

Seeing everyone running away, the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang on the city wall raised their bows and shot arrows without saying a word.

The arrow shot the straw hat on Li Niu's head with a thud, and Li Niu was so scared that six of his seven souls flew away.

In times of war, no one cares about identity. If you see someone acting suspiciously, you will kill him without thinking.

Soon more arrows flew at the backs of the crowd, and a small team of soldiers from the city wall came out and chased after them with scimitars in hand.

They were cursing in southern Xinjiang dialect. Jiang Ke'er didn't understand, but when Li Niu understood, his expression became even uglier.

"They said they would chop us into pieces alive when they caught us!"

Dudududu——

The arrows were deeply embedded in the soil, and those arrows definitely had the power to penetrate any part of the human body.

Qiao Qianxue suddenly turned around and grabbed an arrow, then used the arrow to block five or six arrows.

Seeing that his archery was not working, the archer on the wall suddenly shouted in frustration.

As they shouted, suddenly several powerful auras appeared behind the caravan!

"Monk...monk?!"

Li Niu, who had seen the monks' majesty, turned around and was immediately speechless: "Where did they get so many monks?!"

Those southern Xinjiang soldiers who were chasing after us from the city wall actually all showed the aura of monks just now.

Moreover, each of them had colorful light on their bodies. Even if they were not as good as the masters that Hero Taibai had dealt with, they were not far behind.

This shouldn't be the case! The magic crystal reserves in Southern Xinjiang can't possibly be compared to those in the vast Tang Dynasty. Even if they spent a huge amount of money, they shouldn't be so extravagant!

This is almost a full staff of monks!

Seeing this scene, everyone instantly understood why the soldiers of Jingzhou City were so vulnerable and were killed by the enemy without a single casualty in the city.

The power of a monk is vastly different from that of an ordinary warrior! In the face of such power, they have no chance of resistance at all!

And there is absolutely no possibility for me and others to escape...

Those grinning monks from Southern Xinjiang arrived in a flash.

Clearly, when I looked back the last time, they were still under the city wall, but the next time I looked back, they were already very close.

They raised their scimitars at the caravan.

Everyone in the caravan had their eyes wide open and were so desperate that their legs were too weak to run.

"Whoosh!"
