I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Hmm~"

Du Tianli groaned, paused, looked down at the arrow stuck in his thigh, his pupils trembled suddenly, and he shouted in shock.

"Ah~ Be careful, the Xiao family is lying in ambush nearby."

"what!"

Du Tianli endured the severe pain and just as he shouted hoarsely, an arrow shot him in the collarbone.

He screamed in pain, rolled his eyes and fell onto Zong Gaofei.

He felt so wronged. Why was he always the one who got hurt?

Zong Gaofei's reaction was faster than Du Tianli's. When he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he immediately swung his sword to block it.

Although he was exhausted, at the critical moment of life and death, he was able to instantly unleash super strength.

"锵锵锵锵~"

Zong Gaofei was staring with his eyes wide open, concentrating on blocking the flying arrows.

Suddenly, his right side sank and Du Tianli fell heavily on him.

Zong Gaofei concentrated all his strength on his wrist to block the arrow, and was hit by Du Tianli and fell directly to the ground.

"what!"

Zong Gaofei fell flat on his face, and his front teeth hit the stone, and two of them flew off in an instant.

Zong Gaofei's face was twisted in pain, and he bit his back teeth and turned over with difficulty.

Looking at Du Tianli who was pressing on him with blood gushing out of his mouth, he was so scared that he was shaking all over.

Hearing the miserable cries of his brothers one after another and seeing his leader with arrows stuck in his body and his life or death unknown, a trace of despair flashed in Zong Gaofei's eyes.

They were wiped out by the Xiao family before they even saw them. This was a great shame and humiliation.

Zong Gaofei took two weak deep breaths and looked at the arrows whizzing through the air. He lay on the ground, not daring to move.

If he stood up at this moment, he would definitely be shot into a hornet's nest.

No, he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

Commander Zhao certainly doesn't know that they have been ambushed by the Xiao family, so he has to quickly send a signal for help.

Zong Gaofei took out the imperial guards' exclusive distress signal flare with trembling hands.

"Boom~bang~"

The imperial guards' distress flare flew into the sky, making a loud bang and emitting a huge purple smoke.

............

"Brother Jiang, look, there's a distress signal flare. Something must have happened to the boss and the others..."

Sang Dasheng pointed at the flare in the sky, his face filled with shock.

This is a distress signal flare. Have the boss and his men caught up with the Xiao family and started fighting?

Jiang Xu paused, frowned and looked at the sky, then clenched the sword in his hand with a serious expression.

He turned around and glanced at the brothers around him who were walking very slowly.

"Everyone, be careful. Don't take the main road. Go along the cliff next to it. The boss and his men must have encountered the Xiao family's private soldiers..."

The Xiao family was so brave that they actually dared to ambush them near the foot of the mountain.

You know, Commander Zhao is still guarding the foot of the mountain with his men. Once the distress flare is sent out, the Xiao family will probably be desperate and run back.

If they run back and meet them, they will be finished.

Du Tianli had so many people around him who needed help, and those few of them who walked slowly were not enough for the Xiao family to slaughter.

"We all listen to Brother Jiang..."

Sang Dasheng was very panicked when he heard the faint screams in the distance.

He was really tired and had no strength left in his body. How could he fight against Xiao family's private soldiers?

As the screams became clearer and clearer, the others all clenched their swords as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Jiang Xu swallowed, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Split up, you guys go down to the right, and the rest of you follow me to the left..."

"Brother Jiang, let's go together, or we can go separately..." Sang Dasheng frowned, not quite understanding why they should go separately. There is strength in numbers.

"Shut up, it's safer to go separately to prevent being wiped out by Xiao's private soldiers... Go quickly..."

Jiang Xu frowned and glared at Sang Dasheng, then quickly walked into the jungle on the left with his sword.

The screams were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that someone was running back. Sang Dasheng and others did not dare to hesitate and quickly ran to both sides.

................

"Tang Hu, come here quickly, what is going on?"

Commander Zhao frowned and looked up at the distress flare exploding in the air.

Could it be that the Xiao family's private soldiers became furious after being shot by them, and turned around to fight to the death with Du Tianli and the others?

Tang Hu, who was directing the archers to shoot, saw a distress flare coming out from the place where the arrows were shot. He was suddenly struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

How did the Xiao family get the distress flares from the imperial guards?

Could it be that Du Tianli and the others were all wiped out by the Xiao family?

Or are those people our own people...

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could one of our own people leave in such a miserable state? When have the imperial guards ever been so lame?

Hearing Commander Zhao's shout, Tang Hu trembled all over and his heart beat wildly.

He waved the yellow flag several times, called a halt to the shooting, then turned around and ran towards Commander Zhao in panic.

"Commander Zhao, the distress signal flare just now was sent by the Xiao family."

"I suspect that the Xiao family killed Du Tianli and his men and stole their distress signal flares..."

Zhao Cheng frowned as he looked at the people in the distance who were rolling and wailing like small black dots, then turned and looked at Tang Hu hesitantly.

"Are you sure? Did you hear the woman's scream? Didn't they say those people were the women of the Xiao family?"

The wailing sounds he vaguely heard seemed to be men's voices, and they sounded a little familiar.

Besides, the Xiao family's private soldiers launched the eunuchs' exclusive distress flares. Did they think they were dying too slowly?

This means that all the palace guards have been called over.

Tang Hu's body suddenly paused, his upper and lower teeth chattered continuously, and he didn't dare to utter the word "OK" for a long time.

After hearing what Commander Zhao said, he realized that he seemed not to have heard the woman's screams.

He was closer to those people than Commander Zhao was, so he could hear it more clearly.

Especially later when someone was shot by an arrow and rolled down the mountain wailing.

He saw those people like savages, and sneered in his heart at the miserable life of Xiao family's private soldiers.

Now that he thought about it carefully, although those people's clothes were dirty and tattered, they seemed very similar to the official uniforms of the palace guards.

Thinking that he might have killed one of his own, Tang Hu broke out in a sweat and was shaking like a sieve.

Zhao Cheng felt something was wrong when he saw Tang Hu, who was suddenly shaking so hard that he couldn't speak.

He frowned and said coldly,

"Hurry up and take someone up to take a look, quick!"

Zhao Cheng drew out his sharp sword and walked up the mountain.

Tang Hu quickly ran to call for help, selected twenty elite masters to follow Zhao Cheng, and waved a yellow flag, asking the archers to get ready.

If they happened to encounter Xiao's private soldiers, when they ran back, he could wave the red flag and let the archers stop the pursuing Xiao's private soldiers.
