Two feathered arrows flew from the top of the cliff, and there were archers in ambush by the cliff, shooting arrows condescendingly without showing their heads, and the people below became living targets. All the ghost guards immediately gathered, and they formed an arc with Ying Si as the center. His Royal Highness was on the safe side, and Ying Qi stood beside Li Yuan holding a smoke-like dragonfly sword in both hands.

Vice-General An quickly assembled a whole team of soldiers, ready for battle.

Li Mo whispered: "There."

Li Yuan licked his fingertips and took three dark iron arrows from the quiver hanging by the saddle with his eyes. He kept two for himself and handed one to Li Mo: "Make a way for me."

Li Mo glanced at Li Yuan contemptuously, took the black iron heavy arrow, raised the bow and strung the string, aimed at a thin stone slab protruding from the cliff, and let go.

The black iron arrow was heavy and sharp, but it was not strong enough to pierce the stone slab, it only penetrated two inches deep.

The moment Li Mo let go of the arrow, Li Yuan shot two arrows in succession, following the trajectory of Li Mo's arrows, they burst into the stone slab, the first arrow knocked off Li Mo's previous arrow, and the second arrow went two inches deep There was a piercing scream, the black iron arrow pierced through the stone slab, and pierced the heart of the archer lying in ambush on it.

They couldn't see the ambush above them from below, but they heard the man hit by the arrow wailed and shouted a strange language.

Most people couldn't understand, but Li Mo and Li Yuan were taken aback, and looked at each other, their expressions were a little strange.

In an instant, arrows rained down from the cliff, and several soldiers fell to the ground in an instant. The horses neighed chaotically, and countless dust and smoke were kicked up.

"Hmph." Li Mo wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "You lead people up, and I will block you from below."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and hooked his fingers: "Children, follow me."

The ghost guards of Prince Qi's Mansion obeyed their orders, unfurled their weapons silently, let out murderous aura, and remained silent.

Although the two look at each other with disgust, the tacit understanding of 20 years is still there. In such critical moments, they can find the most suitable tactics without talking nonsense.

For a while, all the soldiers lined up, and Ding Guoxiao's cavalry guards concentrated on the defensive side, flanking each other with bronze shields. The seven ghost guards tapped their feet on the cliff, and quickly followed Li Yuan around the cliff where the ambush was hiding.

Li Mo has long been used to the battlefield. Even though he knew that the guards who resisted and protected the passage of the army would sacrifice more, he still took up the job. He knew that Li Yuan had never fought in actual combat.

When you are on the battlefield, you can't hold prejudices against your colleagues. This is the way for military strategists to win.

Secretly happy and secretly guarding Li Mo's side, Li Mo waved his hands: "Look at the dense momentum of the arrow rain, there may be a lot of people up there, you go with Li Yuan."

An Bei immediately obeyed the order and flew away, An Xi paused beside Li Mo for a moment before taking a breath and leaving.

It is true that there are quite a few people above, but the ghost guards of the Wangfu are all masters of one against a hundred, and it is easy to solve some ambushes.

When Anxi and Anbei arrived, Li Yuan's expression was not very good.

The ambush soldiers above are all dressed in Shensha ethnic costumes.The archer who was hit by the arrow just now screamed. Although Li Yuan couldn't understand it, he could recognize that it was Kong Yanxi's accent, the language of the Shensha tribe.

This is not the most difficult thing for Li Yuan to accept.

Those alien assassins resisted with all their strength, and almost broke the boat to die with the ghost guards, but they did not hurt Ying Qi.

Ying Si Ying Wu took a few lives, but those people desperately pinned Ying Qi to beg for mercy.

"What are you doing..." Ying Qi was stunned, subconsciously looked at His Royal Highness, and shook his head in a daze, "Your Highness...I don't know..."

Ying Si glanced at Ying Qi coldly, and grabbed Ying Qi's arm when he wanted to go to Li Yuan's side.

Li Yuan pushed away Ying Si's hand, leaned over and grabbed a man's neck, and asked in a low voice, "Say...who sent you to separate...say..."

Li Yuan was a little out of control, the expression on his face was distorted, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

The man panicked and spoke the language of the Shensha tribe again, Li Yuan's distraction had already sever the man's throat.

Li Yuan dropped the man, shook off the blood on his hands, and stood up slowly, panting absent-mindedly.

Ying Qi knelt down in panic: "This subordinate has never colluded with others, please be aware of it, Your Highness."

Li Mo walked over slowly with the antler bow in his arms. He had already reported the general situation with secret joy and sorrow. Li Mo grabbed Ying Qi's hair, raised his chin and asked Li Yuan: "You trust this Ying Qi so much... how can you be with a foreign race?" If it's related, why don't I interrogate you for a while, so that I can find out the inside story."

"No need." Li Yuan pushed Li Mo away with his bow, pulled Ying Qi's wrist and pulled him away, "My people don't need you to do it for me, get out."

Li Mo squatted down and checked, found some evidence from several corpses, and handed it to An Bei: "Take it to the court, the Shensha tribe has long wanted to rebel, this arrow is aimed at us, just now It has also been tested, the water was poisoned, let the Holy One decide."

He glanced back at Li Yuan: "Does my cousin have any objections?"

Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and said impatiently: "No. The Shensha tribe is so bold, please investigate thoroughly."

After saying that, he dragged Ying Qi down the cliff.

Walking down the cliff, the army is ready.Lieutenant General Pei of the Howling Wolf Battalion had a strange expression when he saw the Queen of Shadow Seven, and whispered to the surrounding soldiers in a low voice.

Said that Yingqi was favored by His Highness His Royal Highness, and His Highness tried every means to protect him from punishment when he was drunk in the army before. The aliens who attacked this time had already confessed that Ying Qi had colluded with them, and His Royal Highness actually planned to protect him.

Ying Qi explained in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, it's not me."

Li Yuan squeezed his hand: "Yes."

He squinted at this deputy general Pei who was eating inside and outside, and snorted softly.

It's just that the voice of discussion in the army is getting louder and louder.

Li Mo also walked down the cliff slowly, and smiled lowly beside Li Yuan: "Brother Yuan still protects your little shadow guard so much, do you remember the chaos of the Tang Dynasty in the past? , your little shadow guard will eventually die at your hands."

Ying Wu was surprised for a while, and pleaded softly: "Your Highness, Xiao Qi is not that kind of person."

Li Yuan took a look at Ying Qi who was holding his wrist tightly, threw him to Ying Si, and took a deep breath: "Go to interrogation."

Ying Qi was grabbed by Ying Si's arms, unable to struggle, looked at His Highness Shi Zi in amazement, and was dragged down by Ying Si.

In fact, Li Yuan just wanted the fourth trial to come up with a result, which was slander, so that Xiao Qi would not end up being "side by the Qing emperor".

Because of this disturbance, the army marched for an extra day before setting up camp.

A few ghost guards sat together around the fire, roasting some dry food and casually picked meat on the road.

Li Yuan leaned against one side of the stone wall, resting his head with his hands closed and his eyes closed, his brows were slightly frowned, and his breathing was not steady.

Yingyan brought the grilled meat to Li Yuan's mouth, but Li Yuan pushed it away casually: "I don't want to eat it."

Ying Yan sighed: "The subordinates all know that Ying Qi is a human being, someone is trying to separate you from the guards, you have to be more careful."

Li Yuan half-opened his eyes: "There are also people who are plotting against Shensha Kong's family."

Yingyan tucked the strands of hair that fell down to her forehead: "The Shensha people are in ambush here. It must be that the guards around you are enough to deal with these archers. Otherwise, both you and His Highness Li Mo will be seriously injured."

"No, absolutely not." Li Yuan drew a black iron arrow and twirled it between his fingers, "The Shensha tribe has surrendered to Dacheng for many years. Although they are barbarians, they are all civilized. I went to Luanqiu once, and most of the Shensha tribe They can speak Chinese, and even the beggars on the ground can speak a few words of Chinese. Although these people are wearing Chensha clothes, they speak Chensha’s language, but don’t you think it’s too deliberate.”

"Besides, the Shensha tribe has pure blood and fierce fighting power, so they are not so easy to deal with. They are not from the Chensha tribe, and they just want the Chensha tribe to be wiped out by the court."

Ying Yan frowned: "Do you suspect it is His Highness Li Mo?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "How can he have that ability. Besides, he doesn't need to do these things. I have already handed over the booklet. This matter should be held for three months. After three months, we will see the battle situation."

Yingyan said: "Don't worry, the subordinates will watch the surroundings for you."

Li Yuan hummed and rubbed his face wearily.

Ying Yan asked softly: "This subordinate has dismissed all the people in the criminal account, you go and see Xiao Qi."

"You think I don't want to?" Li Yuan forced a breath into his chest, "Hmph, I'm afraid I'll cry."

Yingyan still gave way to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan forced himself to close his eyes, but after a few breaths, he opened them again, pushed Yingyan away and left.

The crisp sound of the whip hitting the flesh came from the prison tent.

Ying Qi was tied to the torture rack, with many whip marks on his body, Ying Si put the whip on, and sat on the side drinking tea.

Said it was an interrogation, but Shadow Four didn't ask anything.

He had nothing to ask, he knew that Ying Qi would not do anything against the Lord.The ghost guard is like this - once you admit your companion, you will never doubt it again, this is the rule.

Ying Qi was a little out of strength, his arms were tied to the torture rack, cold sweat slid down his cheeks to his chin, and dripped to the ground, his chest heaved and heaved chaotically due to his disordered breathing.

"Fourth brother, take a few more pumps." Ying Qi whispered with a slightly hoarse voice, panting.

Ying Si showed no expression, and took a few sips of tea leaves: "That's enough."

Ying Qi licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, lowered his eyelashes and said, "I don't hold grudges."

Shadow Four snorted softly: "But your Highness remembers."

The curtain of the criminal tent was lifted, Li Yuan stood by the tent door, first smelled a bloody smell, then raised his eyes and saw Ying Qi covered in blood.

Li Yuan almost lost his composure, supported his heart for a while, and took a hard look at Ying Si.

Ying Si silently took the black jade long whip on the table, and went to guard the door of the criminal tent, treating himself as air.

Ying Qi slightly raised his head to look at His Royal Highness Shizi, his cheeks were stained with his own blood, making him look even paler and weaker.

"Your subordinate is wronged." Ying Qi looked at Li Yuan with desolate eyes, and Li Yuan's heart convulsed and ached for a moment, and he couldn't even tell the truth of this emotion and expression.

Li Yuan used the black iron arrow to pry off the chain on Ying Qi's wrist, and Ying Qi couldn't take it anymore and fell down.

Li Yuan took advantage of the situation, pressed Ying Qi's head against his neck, and carried him down.

Ying Qi quietly listened to Li Yuan's rapid heartbeat, and urged softly: "Your Highness."

Li Yuan's body trembled.

Ying Qi said softly: "Your Highness, it just looks serious, and it didn't hurt the inside. Don't be soft-hearted, Your Highness."

Li Yuan patted Ying Qi's back lightly, then lifted Ying Qi's wrist suddenly, dragged him out of the criminal tent, left a bloodstain on the ground, and threw Ying Qi on the ground in front of all the soldiers.

"I originally thought that since you were slandered, you should be punished a little bit. Who would have thought that you don't know how to flatter, so you don't need your guards in the future, so go and work with the servants."

Ying Qi grabbed Li Yuan's clothes with difficulty, looked at him with puppy-like eyes, choked up and said, "Don't... don't dislike your subordinates..."

Li Yuan flicked his sleeves, kicked Ying Qi away like a ball of trash, turned around and left, and before leaving, he told everyone that anyone who dared to treat this beast well would be punished along with him.

Everyone wanted to be favored by His Royal Highness, and after receiving this explanation, they retreated a few steps like avoiding the plague, fearing that the blood of the guard would only add to the bad luck.

Ying Qi leaned against the corner outside the tent, holding his wound and panting.

After the anger was subdued, the crowd gradually dispersed.

No one cares about the life and death of Ying Qi, and no one dares to care.

Ying Qi slowed down for a while, and got up with his arms, he must have to sleep outside the tent today.

In fact, Yingqi is also a little bored, no matter whether it is true or not, it will always hurt to be treated like this by a lover.

There were footsteps coming from far and near, and a small soldier came over and squatted beside Ying Qi to eat melon seeds.

Tan Cangyun looked at Ying Qi carefully, and said, "If you want to say that companionship is like companionship with a tiger, it's true, the royal family is such a goddamn god."

"Hey, why are you coming to sleep in my tent? You are so red all over, why don't you change it?" Tan Cangyun asked, knocking on melon seeds.

Ying Qi didn't speak.

Tan Cangyun spat out the melon seeds and smiled: "Guess what I found, I'm not kidding you, there is a melon in the grain truck, I caught it."

Ying Qi was taken aback.
