Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Who knows? Anyway, they are not going to join in the fun.

They didn't care who was right or wrong. Now they were about to arrive in Qu County, and they could finally enjoy themselves without having to sleep in the open air.

So he was eager to return home and whipped the animals pulling the goods, and the heavy wheels of the cart suddenly increased their speed a lot.

As the entire convoy sped up, the low city walls of Qu County soon came into view.

Qiao Zhang's cold expression couldn't help but reveal a little joy. After all, after being exposed to the wind and rain for so long, seeing the city was too much for Li Yan, even he could hardly bear it. Now that he was about to return, he could have a good rest and enjoy himself. Who doesn't like that?

"I saw the city wall. We are finally there!"

"I am so tired. The sun has dried my skin."

"That's right. I have to have a good drink later. Remember that the restaurant's top-brand wine is quite tasty. I'll drink a few big bowls of it later."

Seeing the county town in front of them, everyone's tense hearts couldn't help but relax, and there was a sense of ease and relief in their words, and the whole team sped up a bit.

Not to mention, these ores are heavy and numerous, making it quite troublesome to transport them. Even if they wanted to speed up, they couldn't lift much along the way. In addition, the weather was so hot that it could make people bald. It was really exhausting.

Qiao Zhang rode a big horse and led his team slowly towards the city wall.

"No, why is it so empty... Where are the refugees outside..."

Qiao Zhang looked at the empty city gate and frowned slightly. When he went out, the outside was still crowded with refugees, almost filling the walls and everywhere.

Now I look around, why is there no one around? Where did all the people go?

"They should have left... They are just a bunch of refugees, who cares what they do."

Li Yan said indifferently.

"But why did he leave so cleanly and neatly? There seems to be something wrong..."

Qiao Tan hesitated, but Li Yan glanced at him and patted the blade carelessly.

"We control the county town, and the gates cannot be opened. Those refugees will starve to death sooner or later if they stay here. What are they doing here? Are they waiting for us to collect their bodies?"

"I say you, Deputy General Qiao, are good in everything except being too suspicious. The gatekeepers are dozing off, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing Li Yan's words, the others behind him nodded indifferently. If something really happened, those cowards would have already hidden behind the city walls. Why would they be guarding the gate?

"Yes, the deputy general thinks too much. A group of refugees, gone.

No, this world is not sure about the lack of people. "

"That's right. If we stay here, we have to worry about what they might do. It's better to leave. After all, these refugees have been squeezed out of existence by us. If they die outside, we won't have to carry the bodies and pollute the environment of Qu County."

The soldiers behind him were talking to each other, not taking it seriously at all. Qiao Zhang thought it made sense. Could it be that he was being too suspicious? He looked up at the guards at the city gate or those cowards in the county government office. What was there to worry about?

Then he felt relieved and rode his horse to the city gate.

"My Lords, you are back..."

The people guarding the city greeted them enthusiastically, but Li Yan frowned and slapped his thigh.

"You know we're back, but you still haven't opened the city gates. Why are you dithering? Are you waiting for us to dismount?"

After he spoke some rude words, the gatekeeper immediately nodded and smiled.

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. I will open the door for you right away."

As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the door, revealing the interior of Qu County.

"Let's go!"

"I'm finally back! I'm so tired!"

"It's still better in the county town. It's so tiring to go out."

As Li Yan took the lead in entering the city wall, the convoys entered one after another.

Qiao Zhang followed him in, and for some reason he felt something was wrong...

What's going on, something seems to be wrong there.

He followed slowly, and the convoy slowly entered the county town.

Bang! The city gate suddenly closed, as if separating the inside and outside of the city.

Cao Zhi, who was supposed to come to supervise, did not show up. The surroundings were empty and dead silent as if no one was there.

"Oh no! Something's wrong!"

Everyone be alert!

Qiao Zhang also sensed something and hurriedly squeezed the horse's belly to alert everyone, but it was too late.

Everyone looked confused and didn't understand why the second general was like this. But then they saw one figure after another emerging from the city wall, surrounding everyone from all directions.

They held bows in their hands, raised arrows, and aimed them at them. The cold arrows seemed to indicate that they had nowhere to escape.

"shoot!"

A clear voice was heard, and a dense rain of swords fell from the sky.

"Ah! My legs!"

"Eyes, eyes, what the hell is going on!"

"My arm hurts!"

The crowd was in chaos for a moment. They were all shocked by the sudden attack and fell into panic in an instant, losing more than a dozen people.

Fortunately, this group of people's accuracy is not very good.

"Follow me! Brothers! Get out of here!"

"Kill out!"

Qiao Zhang's face turned cold, he patted his horse's belly and rushed forward immediately. Li Yan on the side was not willing to be left behind and spat ferociously.

"Fuck you! I don't know what's going on, but if you dare to ambush me, I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword with great force!

The two men reacted quickly, reorganized their formation, and rushed out with the rest of the private soldiers.

Everything would be fine as long as they could break out of the encirclement. This group of people looked like they were put together at the last minute. If they hadn't been ambushed at the beginning, they wouldn't have lost more than a dozen people at the very beginning.

Now that we have reacted, can we still be overturned by these rats in the gutter?

The two of them were like two tigers, one taking the lead and rushing out like they were out of a cage.

On the stage, Keqing looked at the two of them and waved.

"pull--"

In an instant, more than a dozen tripwires suddenly appeared on the road.

"Xu~"

"Damn it! Stop it!"

"Be careful! There's a tripwire!"

However, it was too late. They rushed too fast and the horses' feet were caught in the ropes. They tripped and fell in an instant. The people on the horses were thrown off and fell heavily into a trap that had been dug long ago, and were pierced in the chest by a sharp object.

"what!!"

"it hurts!"

"Damn it, who is it! Come out!"

In an instant, the vanguard troops who had reorganized and broken through were thrown to the ground one after another, and were either trampled or thrown into traps that had been prepared long ago.

All around the ropes and in the traps there were all kinds of sharp objects inserted upside down, including sword fragments, sharpened bamboo, etc.

As soon as his man fell in, he was exploded into a hedgehog. He wailed all over and was instantly pierced with countless bloody holes. He struggled subconsciously.

But in a moment it was stained red with blood and there was no sound!

Looking at this scene, Li Yan's face was furious and flushed, as if a volcano had erupted, and his eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

"Who is it! Who is it! I will kill you!"

His eyes focused and instantly locked onto the people pulling the trip rope in the alley in the distance. There were actually a few people who had not left and were watching the fun.

Li Yan immediately swung his knife and rushed towards these people to chop!

"Go to hell!"

In just a moment, one person was killed under his banner, with a smug look of watching the fun still on his face.

The others were also frightened. They didn't expect this man to be so fast and rush up! They immediately regretted it! My life is over!

Li Yan was also filled with murderous intent. He was even more furious when he saw the people in front of him. He swung his knife like an executioner, cleanly and neatly, killing one by one in an instant, and cut those people into pieces.

On the city wall, Li Yu's voice sounded a little cold.

"Do not

Should we ask them to leave immediately? Why are they still staying there? "

The people around were stunned, and it seemed that they did not expect the man on the horse to be so powerful and so fast.

Li Yu gritted his teeth.

"They are well-trained private soldiers! You guys really think you are so capable that you pulled the tripwire and didn't run away, but just stood there watching the fun!"

"That's good, you want to watch the fun, right? A few heads were given away!"

Group 6⑨4; 9⑨36]1③5 I have said it all, run after pulling it, the farther the better, the next trap is waiting for them!"

Now you don't obey the military order, right? Then die!

Li Yu was extremely angry. This delay gave the private soldiers enough time to react, and the next trap would be useless!

As expected, seeing where Li Yan was venting his anger, Qiao Zhang reacted quickly and immediately stopped chasing the ambushers. Instead, he prepared to turn around and break out to the southeast.

The southeast is where common people live. The houses are uneven and the alleys are winding. Once they enter there, it will be like a fish swimming in the ocean, and then they will be in trouble!

Li Yu was anxious, but at this moment Che Qing gently patted her arm.

"No need to worry..."

Like the gurgling of running water or the dripping of clear spring water on rocks, the clear sound instantly brought Li Yu back to his calm.

"Give me the bow and arrow..."

"Yes...Princess..."

The people nearby quickly handed over a bow and arrow, and Keqing pulled the bowstring in her hand, drew the bow, put the arrow on it, and aimed at Qiao Zhang, who was leading the way, all in one go.

She held her breath, concentrated, infused her true energy, and stared.

whoosh-

Like a rainbow piercing the sun, a falling meteor, the sound of an arrow trembled continuously, and it flew away with an unmatched huge force.

Li Yan's furious expression froze, his whole body trembled in fear, and he felt a huge threat attacking him from behind.

He made a quick decision and subconsciously rolled off the horse.

boom--

With a loud bang, a shadow passed through his afterimage and went straight into the ground.

boom--

The true energy surged and instantly swept to the place where he was just now!

The horse was blown away instantly, and Qiao Zhang was also affected. He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated heavily.

Li Yan was glad, fortunately——

"Uh--"

Suddenly, a sharp pain came over him, and he flew backwards. He lowered his head, and his body fell under the city wall like a broken doll.

His eyes were blank, and he subconsciously looked towards the place where the arrow came from. He saw a thin figure standing tall in the distance on the city wall, looking at him quietly. His clear eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, swallowing up everything.

Including his life.

Chapter 585: A Sharp Arrow (1 more)

Qiao Zhang only felt a burning pain all over his body, as if a soup made of quicklime water was poured on his body. The rubble from the explosion hit his body like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, scratching out countless bright red blood marks.

His chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, and his abdomen was burning with pain. A mouthful of sweet and fishy taste flowed back from his inside and slowly came out of his throat, which he swallowed with his teeth clenched tightly.
