Chapter 323
As Chen approached, four people and a bear were lying in the shadow of a tree, waiting quietly for something like a hunting beast.
At this time, Yang Zhen naturally understood Li Ling’s previous thoughts, because along the way, the matter was already explained very clearly.
"Young Master, why don't we kill everyone? Do you really have to keep your promise? Also, even so, you shouldn't let him know what we will do next, right?" This was a question that Yang Zhen asked quickly.
Li Ling just smiled at that time. Before he could speak, Yang Chen had already helped to explain: "Because we need someone to pass on the news of our return to the Central Plains to Mo Li and the others."
Li Moyun was already awake at this time and asked immediately: "So, young master, you don't actually plan to go back?"
"What's the use of going back? Those people have been planning for a long time, and now they are as thunderous as they are. I'm afraid that before we return to the Central Plains, the cities of Qianzhou have fallen into their control. Even if the court really sends troops to come later, it's too late. Moreover, we are not here to deal with this change. Southern Yunnan is the ultimate goal of our trip. Now that Qianzhou has changed, we will naturally go to southern Yunnan." Li Ling's thoughts are quite clear.
"But the chaos in Qianzhou..." Yang Zhen was still a little confused.
"It is probably not as convenient to move troops from Central Plains to Qianzhou as it is to come from southern Yunnan, so the two are not contradictory."
Yang Zhen then suddenly realized: "It turned out that this was a strategy of fighting against the west, which made them think that we were about to turn back, so they turned the pursuers east, but we went west next to it, thus breaking away their pursuit."
"This is just one aspect, but I don't think that doing so will really make them completely trapped. At least Mo Li will definitely see the clues in a short time and make corresponding arrangements." Li Ling said, frowned slightly.
Several people who had already fought with Mo Li agreed with this. The Huntian Army leader had a reputation before, and this time their mistake could be said to be in his calculations early in the morning. From this we can see that this guy is really an extremely terrible existence. It is really difficult to deceive this person so easily.
So in the end, even Yang Chen looked puzzled: "Young Master, are you doing these things?"
"It's just one thing to say that the east and the west is just one thing. I'm doing this to let him see the flaws, and then they will inevitably think that we might go to southern Yunnan, so as to chase and block the block. But to do this, sending people to pass the orders is essential, and what we have to do is to seize this opportunity!"
Li Ling's words were already very clear, and everyone suddenly realized that when they looked at him, they looked a little admiration. No one expected that such a plan would be hidden in this seemingly simple plan. What's even better is that under the cover of the strategy of "striking the east and west", this real intention would be subconsciously ignored, and the possibility of such success would be greatly increased.
Yes, seizing the horse equipment of those messengers who convey messages, as well as carry-on tokens, etc. The key to Li Ling's plan was that. After all, they were too sudden to leave the city, and they did not prepare any long-distance materials, and even had few taels of silver. In this case, it was not easy to really reach southern Yunnan in a safe and timely manner, so they had to start from the other party.
Now, after going around a big circle, they returned to the outside of Xunyang City for several miles, but they were hiding in the woods next to the official road, waiting for the fish to appear.
Although they had not fallen asleep for a day and night, and there was a battle in the middle, the people were still extremely energetic, especially when the familiar sound of horse hooves came from the front, the people's eyes flashed, they clasped the bows and arrows in their hands, and stared at them from afar.
At this time, Xunyang City had just experienced a major change, and it was impossible for ordinary caravans to leave the city, so the only one who came was Mo Li and his gang, which was their target this time.
When they saw that the group of more than ten horses were approaching, the few were even more happy. Such an arrangement was too good to their appetite. Yang Zhen had nothing to say, and immediately set off his bow and arrow and aimed steadily.
Although these bows and arrows were captured by Luo Tian Sect and looked quite simple, their performance was always guaranteed, with a range of at least fifty or sixty steps. After seeing that they had entered the range and were getting closer, Yang Zhen decisively shot the arrow.
"Swish-swish! Swish!" Three arrows came out in a row, and they took the three people running at the last of the team. He naturally had his own considerations to choose these three goals, because among these people, he had the strongest archery skills, so he naturally had to win the most difficult target. The people behind him were the easiest to turn around and run away when they saw that the situation was wrong, so he had to get rid of it first!
The three of them didn't expect that they would be attacked shortly after they left the city. They were unprepared and had no time to react before they could all be caught. However, they did not die in one blow, and only screamed after falling off the horse.
The four people in front were suddenly attacked and were shocked. They subconsciously tied the reins and wanted to draw the sword to deal with it. But in this way, Yang Chen and Li Moyun were given a chance.
In terms of archery skills, the two of them were far inferior to Yang Zhen. With their own martial arts and eyesight, they were still very relaxed to hit several targets that had not moved within thirty or forty steps. Immediately, a few strings sounded, and the arrows broke through the air again. With a puff, they shot the people one after another, and the two were dismissed.
While their arrows flew out, Yang Zhen had abandoned his bow and drew his sword, and rushed out with one step. The speed was no more slower than the arrows. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to one of them and realized something was wrong. He was still struggling immediately, trying to control the horse and rush forward to the knight.
Without a word of nonsense, the knife in his hand was already slashed out quickly. The other party quickly pulled his horse to avoid it, but the speed was obviously not as fast as Yang Zhen. He only avoided half of his body and was hit by the blade. He was snorting and a fist had already hit him hard, hitting his waist and ribs, which made him shake his body and fell to the ground with a plop.
However, Yang Zhen's offensive did not pause for this. When his body turned, he decisively passed by the horse that had lost the knight. With a knife, he took the last knight who was still on the horse's back. This guy was just shot an arrow on his thigh, which did not affect his movements. He immediately drew his sword to greet him, and his movements were decisive, and he really stopped the attack. At the same time, his riding skills were also more clever. Seeing this, he held the pain and grabbed the horse's belly. He suddenly jumped and wanted to fly over Yang Zhen's head, hoping to launch a counterattack with a condescending advantage.
He did have a good grasp of this moment and seized the opportunity to counterattack. However, what he had not been wary of was that he was not facing a strong enemy at this moment, but three. Just when he was controlling his horse and wanted to fight back, there was another sound of bowstrings on the side, and two sharp arrows came one after another, puffing and stably piercing into his body.
His horse control jumped up and really exposed himself completely to Yang Chen and Li Moyun. There was nothing else they could do to be polite to shoot directly. So, when the horse landed steadily again, the knight on its back had already turned over and fell to the ground in a scream, and was then killed by Yang Zhen who turned to come out of the knife.
It was not until this time that the few people who had been dismissed before were struggling. But their movements obviously could not keep up with the rhythm of the annihilation battle, because Yang Chen and the others had already abandoned their bows and pulled their swords to jump up, and cooperated with Yang Zhen to launch a fierce attack on them.
These knights who sent the message were far inferior to Yang Zhen and the other two. In addition, they were suddenly attacked and injured, and their strength and mentality were greatly affected. Faced with the attack of the three, they suddenly lost their ability to parry. As for escaping, it was even more impossible. So in just a short moment, several knights died one after another, and only those horses were still shouting, but I wonder if they were affected by this quick battle.
It was not until the battle ended that Li Ling rushed over, and at the same time, the panda that had been with him. It obviously couldn't understand what these guys wanted to do, so it just looked left and right, and there was no intention of taking action.
"Finished." Yang Chen, who was squatting in front of several corpses, screamed, and took out a document stamped with the seal of the Long Family. He only looked at the contents. It was Long Tianxiang who used Long Sihai's tone to make the soldiers and horses from all towns and passes in Qianzhou pay attention to the passing people and seized the suspicious people. It also briefly described the appearance of the dress of the few of them, which was extremely suitable.
In addition, Li Moyun also found two bronze medals from two of them. One side was engraved with the word "Dragon" on one side, and the other side was the word "Passing order". It is a certificate that an important figure in the Long family can use this to facilitate the use of various parts of Qianzhou without being investigated and left difficult!
Seeing this, the few people were even more happy. Li Ling couldn't help but say, "They are so polite. They not only brought us horses, but also prepared the certificates for passing the city. Then what else can we say? We can't let them down."
The other three smiled again, immediately dragged the bodies to the side of the road and buried them, and then assigned the horses to prepare for the trip. At this time, Li Ling did not rush to get on the horse. It was not that he was worried about his riding skills, but he touched the panda that had been following him: "Fat, we are a friendship that can be considered a life-long relationship, but I am afraid that the next trip will not be together. It is better to go back to your mountain. If you have the fate in the future, see you again."
The panda was really humane. After hearing this, he whined a few times, then slowly retreated back into the forest. It was not until Li Ling and others urged their horses to move forward that they shouted loudly, as if they were going to say goodbye to them, and then waited for them to run away and could not see them, so they turned around and crawled into the forest.
"Young Master, does it really understand what you said?"
"Of course, it's a national treasure after all."
"national treasure?"
