The front army runs concurrently, and thousands of horses gallop!

This is the scene in Li Ling's eyes where tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians rushed forward and rushed straight to the towering statue of the Spring God. This momentum is no less than the confrontation between the two armies. This can only show how yearning for the spring mud in southern Yunnan is for this year's harvest.

It's really everyone's courage and everyone is competing for the first place. The leaders are still sprinting, and the laggards are chasing for desperately, as if they just take a step back, the spring mud will be snatched away. Such a warm atmosphere infected everyone present. Even Li Ling and the others were eager to try it out, but because they didn't keep up with the public at the beginning, they were completely behind and obviously they could not catch up.

However, in the end, some people did not participate in this competition. In the scattered crowd that was rushing forward, there were still people who kept a neat team. When they came to the leaders of the officials, these people quickly separated from the middle of the team and protected these officials and others in the middle. They were soldiers who were responsible for the guards, so naturally they could not just compete for the spring mud like ordinary people.

These people with slightly lower status have this arrangement. As the most powerful three people in southern Yunnan, they are naturally even less likely to be forgotten. Xiao Ding, Duan Siyu and Gao Wenyi, who had dodged to the side of the crowd, were also walking a little further away towards the guards who were constantly approaching behind.

The three of them walked while talking, and they were talking from time to time. They seemed to be quite satisfied with today's spring festival. Perhaps they had already agreed to where to hold next year's spring festival.

Their leisure made Li Ling's heart irritate again. This was the last gap for several people. If there was really any assassin that would be unfavorable to Dingxi Hou, he should have chosen this time.

But the subsequent development of things made him feel that he was over-concerned, because soon, the three of them gathered with their respective guards who were running up, and under the orderly protection of these guards, they walked back completely.

However, in front of the statue of Chun Shen in front, there was already a rush to form a group. At the beginning, the dozens of people had already rushed to the statue's feet almost at the same time. However, they did not use their hands to grab the lower body of the statue, which was closer to them, but instead shouted, jumped high, climbed the body of the statue, and walked up. Their hands almost grabbed the clay and rice in the hand of Chun Shen who was leaning forward.

This is the most important thing in the entire statue. As long as you take this handful of spring mud, the entire family will be blessed by the God of Spring this year, with a bumper harvest and no disasters. Such an important thing, how could the dozens of people who rushed to the front be willing to let go? Without looking at other positions, everyone climbed up like a flexible ape. In a few steps, someone had already reached a position as the hand of the statue and had to reach it.

Unexpectedly, one person jumped up from below and at this moment, overwhelmed all the competitors, and pressed them down, pressing the two guys who were about to reach out to grab the soil and rice, but he took advantage of the momentum to stagnate in the air, and then his other hand was poked out like lightning, holding the rice ears in his hand.

The person who came out of the crowd and directly grabbed the good luck for the year was Xiao Chengzhi. His skills were obviously stronger than everyone present. And the moment he started to take action, he quickly sinks down, and at the same time his body quickly turned around in the air and glances at the position where his father is ahead. He wanted to report this good news to his father as soon as possible.

But just this glance made the joy on Xiao Chengzhi's face instantly turn into great horror, and a sharp roar suddenly gushed out: "Father, be careful of the assassin!"

It’s a pity that his voice could not be transmitted far under the cover of the sounds of the Han and Barbarians who were running and roaring. It was obvious that when he saw the horrifying scene, the assassination had taken action, and it was only half a step late.

In fact, someone discovered this mutation earlier than him - Li Ling and the others.

Naturally, they could not participate in such a battle again. They also saw that many people behind them no longer rushed over to compete for the most precious earth and rice ears like the dozens in front of them, but directly reached out and grabbed and dug them on the statue. In just a short moment, the statue of the Spring God, which was originally worshipped by someone, was solemn and solemn, was already broken and shaking.

The impact of this scene is really great, not only visually, but also psychologically, which is really in conflict with the concepts of gods and Buddhas of several people. Among the Han people in the Central Plains, although not everyone believes in these illusory sayings of gods and Buddhas, whether they believe or not, the respect for these gods is still there, and no one will deliberately destroy them.

But the barbarians here were so good that they worshipped the statue of God just now, but in a blink of an eye, they snatched it to pieces. This kind of faith really caught people off guard.

The only thing Li Ling could say was that this is local customs and it was difficult to dig deeper into it. Naturally, he was not interested in coming forward to make fun of it, so he thought about engaging with Xiao Ding and the others. At this time, many important figures in southern Yunnan had already gathered together, and the team was larger and the safety was higher. After all, there were hundreds of guards around them, so they could naturally ensure that everything was foolproof - if the people outside wanted to attack.

And the sudden assassination happened inside the team!

The three guards who were supposed to be guarding everyone, were at the moment when everyone was paying attention to the people who were still running around outside. At the same time, they activated the broom and the quick knife, and rose up at the same time, splitting the left and right and rear, and slashing Xiao Ding at the same time.

The incident was too fast. Li Ling's eyes fell there and saw this assassination. He opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't even make a scream. Xiao Chengzhi, who had not yet landed in the distance, was even more shocked. While roaring, he was already desperate to pounce on his father's position.

Who would have thought that those who should be guards would suddenly become fatal assassins? The officials who followed Xiao Ding around each had different reactions. Some were completely stunned and some were screaming and dodging. Only a few wanted to provide assistance, but their reaction was too slow. When they shouted to draw their swords, three cold lights had already come to Xiao Ding and were about to chop it over to the ground.

But at this moment, just as these three swords had touched his robe, as long as they stepped in one more point, he could cut the Dingxi Hou into several pieces, but he, who should have been the least prepared, suddenly moved. He did not dodge left and right or behind, because the three swords came from these three directions, but his body suddenly rushed forward, and actually flashed to a safe position in the gap in the sword light touching the body.

At this moment, not only the three assassins were stunned, but even the officials and the likes of the surrounding officials paused in shock and looked at the Dingxi Hou not far ahead in disbelief, just like looking at a completely stranger.

Xiao Ding, the Marquis of Dingxi, has given everyone the impression of being a court official who is good at military use, knowledgeable about strategy, and low-key and gentle. This is also very compatible with his appearance, so in the eyes of all familiar and unfamiliar people, this is a typical head of a noble family. Although he has the title of a general, he shows more of the style of a Confucian general. As for fighting, it has nothing to do with the noble marquis.

In everyone's impression, he was not regarded as a martial artist, so as long as he could get close to Xiao Ding, killing him would be extremely easy, and it would be impossible to say that he was taking things out of his pocket.

So what these assassins have always planned is how to approach Dingxi Hou without being noticed. For this reason, they controlled Mu Kun and placed the most powerful three people in the middle of the guards. They found this best opportunity with the chaos of the people during this spring festival!

Even so, in order to ensure that the three of them were foolproof, they blocked all the retreat routes of Xiao Ding, just to kill them instantly! But as a result, they missed the most critical point. Their target, Xiao Ding, the Marquis of Dingxi, was not a Confucian scholar who had no power to fight back. He actually had outstanding martial arts!

Yes, good martial arts, high-quality martial arts!

Because after rushing forward at this step, Xiao Ding turned his head quickly, and raised his hand, a short knife appeared in his hand at some point. Then without any hesitation, he had already pounced forward. While stabbing the assassin in front of him, he shouted: "Leave a living!" He not only ensured his own safety, but also left the assassin to find out the identity of the enemy behind the scenes.

It was also at the same time that the people around him finally came back from the series of shocks just now. First, the many guards of Dingxi Hou roared and killed, and then the guards of other officials led the officials. While protecting their masters back to a safe position, they stepped forward and surrounded the three assassins who had obviously fallen into the trap.

The three of them were completely desperate at this time. Xiao Ding's fierce attack had immediately entangled one person. After a few slashes, several bloody wounds were added to him. Dingxi Hou's martial arts were even more terrifying than they thought. This was a powerful offensive that he only carried out when he kept his strength and wanted to leave a living mouth.

The other two people were unable to rescue them, because dozens of guards on both sides rushed over and completely surrounded them. If they hadn't wanted to keep a living, they would have been dismembered by swords and guns in just a short moment.

The situation had completely reversed at this moment. Xiao Chengzhi, who had just rushed to come and rescued, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember that his father's martial arts were even better than his son.

Li Ling and the other four had just arrived at the edge of the battle group. Seeing this, they were sure that they would no longer rush forward.

This sudden assassination was really shocking, and this shock was more surprising, surprised by the unexpected side of Dingxi Hou.

Just as Li Ling smiled, thinking that everything was about to pass, the most terrible change suddenly happened-

"Wuwuwu--" On the side, several sharp arrows flew straight towards the sky with strange roars that cut through the void, and behind the arrows, a man was already running towards him as if he was sprinting wildly.
