Rebirth villain just want to go
Chapter 43
Before the agreed time for the Grand Competition, the team to see off the national teacher had already set off in a mighty way.
The see-off team was flying with banners and flags. Shi Lingchen claimed that his left commander, Qi Han, would send the national teacher out, so Qi Han, who was fully armed, also walked beside the carriage.
Shi Lingchen huddled in the carriage specially prepared for the female relatives, and looked at the white figure on the distant city wall through the gap of the window with a smile.
The puppet prince is standing on the top of the city and leading the court officials to see off the national teacher, but the real prince sneaks into the convoy and leaves the capital.
"Master Guoshi is so proficient in puppetry, is there anything in this world that he doesn't know?" Shi Lingchen closed the car window and couldn't help sighing softly.
He insisted on seeing him off in person, and Yan Guitu was worried that he would not be stable as the throne just after he took office, so he deliberately stayed up all day and night to create a puppet stand-in for him that was almost exactly the same as himself.
Such a puppet stand-in has the same effect as an incarnation outside the body.
Shi Lingchen only needs to drop a drop of blood essence at the heart of this puppet double, and he can control the puppet double like his arms to complete the work that needs to be done by himself.In this way, even if Shi Lingchen is thousands of miles away, he can still control the wind and grass in the capital, and at the same time deter those young people who are still ruthless.
Si Huanian and Yun Junmei, who were crowded in the car, shook their heads confidently: "No."
Their master is the best master in the world, and also the most powerful master.Not only is swordsmanship unparalleled in the world, but he is also proficient in alchemy, weapon refining, illusion, and formation techniques, and now he can refine puppets.The two felt that the master should have mastered all the skills in the cultivation world.
In front of the team, Yan Guitu looked straight ahead with a smile on his face, but from the corner of his eyes, he kept paying attention to the little disciple's movements.
In the past two days, Ling Jiangyu has become the obedient little disciple who loves to be coquettish and clings to his master. Sometimes even when he sleeps, he hugs his own pillow and rushes to share a bed with the master. He kept wanting to sleep, but he couldn't hold back Ling Jiangyu's coquettish kung fu, and he could only be defeated by his disciple's big innocent eyes.
"Although this Fengxing horse is not comparable to the spirit beasts and birds that can fly, it is also a mutant that is close to spirit beasts. It can run thousands of miles a day at full speed. If you can't stand it later, Xiao San, go back to the carriage. "Yan Guitu scratched the pricked ears of the sitting white horse, and couldn't help reminding him aloud.
Before the horse started running, Ling Jiangyu's little face was already a little suffocated, and it seemed that he was a little out of breath from the wind blowing on his face.
Ling Jiangyu blinked, tried his best to restrain his discomfort, and insisted: "The disciple is fine, this speed is not considered...cough cough cough!"
Before the young man finished speaking, the horse under him suddenly accelerated, and the gust of wind that was blowing in his face made him cough violently.
Yan Guitu watched Ling Jiangyu cough until tears flowed out and insisted on riding alongside him on horseback. He couldn't help but shook his head, and with a flick of his long sleeves, he rolled the boy's waist and pulled him onto his horse's back.
As soon as Ling Jiangyu landed on the horse, he was surprised to find that not only the wind in front of him stopped blowing his face, but his vision became clearer.
"Master, this is... hiss." The young man turned his head in surprise and wanted to ask Yan Guitu, but unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he accidentally bumped into Yan Guitu's jaw, causing him to gasp in pain Taking a breath, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead.
With a smile on his lips, Yan Guitu gently rubbed his forehead for the little apprentice: "Idiot, when you usually learn how to fly an imperial weapon, you know that you need to use spiritual power to prop up a barrier, why don't you change your riding a horse?" knew?"
Ling Jiangyu stuck out his tongue belatedly: "This is the first time this disciple has ridden a horse, so he forgot about it."
Of course, Ling Jiangyu is neither a fool nor a fool, it is absolutely impossible for him to forget such a thing.But if you don't forget, how can you have the opportunity to ride with the master?
The young man leaned himself into the not-so-broad but absolutely warm arms of his master, enjoying such a rare moment of intimacy comfortably.
After traveling all the way for nearly three hours, when the sun was at its hottest at noon, the team finally arrived at the junction of Da'an Kingdom and the grassland - Ruowu Grassland.
This grassland is boundless, covered with large and small lakes, swamps and rivers. Now it is early spring, the land is covered with light green and dark green colors, and colorful wild flowers are scattered in the grass and on the banks of the river. Dark blue, light The green lake is east and west, like pieces of transparent and clear gemstone emeralds.
The warm wind blowing on the face is mixed with the rich fragrance of flowers, which makes people want to indulge in the warm grassland spring breeze.
Qi Han rode his horse to the front of the team, saluted Yan Guitu and said, "My lord, the Wulan Banner ruins are in front of you, where caravans often rest and recuperate. Do you think we should continue on our way or go first?" take a break?"
What he said was euphemistic, but Yan Guitu heard the implication.
Although the hundred soldiers that Shi Lingchen sent this time were all elites, they were only ordinary people's elites, and three hours of rapid marching was already the limit.
Yan Guitu looked down at Ling Jiangyu who had fallen asleep in his arms, and nodded slightly: "The soldiers have worked hard, so let's rest here for an hour."
Qi Han nodded, turned around and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, build food in front."
Ulan Banner was originally a small tribe near Da'an, with nearly two hundred people in the tribe.It's just that such a small tribe is destined not to survive for a long time. More than ten years ago, this tribe was merged by a nearby tribe, and the place where they used to live has been weathered by feng shui, and most of the soil and vegetation were mixed with the building All the raised houses were left in a barren state, except for the house of the tribal lord who barely retained its general structure.
Later, more and more caravans came and went here, and some caravans simply renovated the place for passers-by and merchants to have a rest.
When the team arrived at the house, they discovered that a small caravan had already been stationed inside.
There are not many people in the caravan, only a dozen guards and more than 30 horses, and the horses are solidly carrying tea, silk and porcelain, which are rich in inland goods.
Yan Guitu only glanced at the merchandise of the caravan and then looked away. It seemed that the caravan was going to the grassland, and they would drop by along the way.
The owner of that caravan was a tall and thin merchant, dressed in the attire of the Central Plains people, with shrewd light in his slender eyes.
Seeing that Ling Jiangyu was still in a deep sleep, Yan Guitu simply threw the little apprentice into his arms and jumped off the horse.It's just that when it landed, it was very stable, and there was no movement at all.
Ling Jiangyu closed his eyes with a cheeky face, and continued to lie in the arms of the master, pretending to sleep.
"Several nobles are..." Seeing that the later team seemed to be planning to renovate here, the person in charge of the caravan immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile.His shrewd eyes swept over the flags of the guards behind him, and his expression immediately became more obsequious, "Are you from Da'an?"
Qi Han stepped forward and nodded lightly.
"Then let my caravan withdraw to make room for the military masters." Seeing this, the person in charge suggested cautiously.
Qi Han glanced at him: "No need."
Afterwards, many well-trained soldiers began to build tents and lay carpets on the spot.But with a cup of tea, the two huge yurts were firmly set up.
Yan Guitu walked into one of the smaller tents with Ling Jiangyu in his arms, and Si Huanian and Yun Junmei followed suit.
Behind the two of them was followed by an unattractive cross-sword guard, it was Shi Lingchen who had just taken Yi Rong Pill.
"Junior brother fell asleep?" Yun Junmei saw Yan Guitu lightly placing Ling Jiangyu on the cushion in the tent, and asked in a low voice, "Can he fall asleep on such a jolt on the horse's back?"
Yan Guitu smoothly untied the silver-white fox fur cloak on his shoulders and covered the little apprentice: "It's his first time riding a horse, he may be sleepy."
First time riding?Shi Lingchen, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, had a strange expression on his face.
"Your Highness, the leader of the caravan outside asks you to see me." Qi Han walked in carrying a wild sheep that the soldiers had just hunted, skewered it on a stick and roasted it directly on the fire.
"The leader of the caravan?" Shi Lingchen frowned slightly, "Where did you come from?"
"He claims to be a subject of the Da'an Kingdom. Although he has heard of the national teacher, he has no chance to see the holy face, so he wants to come in and offer the top-quality kumiss that is unique to the grassland to the national teacher." Qi Han said.
"Kumumiss?" Yun Junmei asked with great interest, "I heard that the kumiss brewed by people on the grasslands is often mixed with horse blood and pieces of meat, so that the brewed wine can not only be drunk as wine It can also be used as food, can provide them with more strength, and support them to carry out long-distance raids. Is that so?"
Qi Han smiled: "Miss Bowen, grassland tribes do often have this kind of milk wine. But the milk wine sent by the merchant is just ordinary milk wine. The subordinates have checked it and there is nothing abnormal."
Upon hearing the words, Shi Lingchen turned his head slightly and glanced at Yan Guitu: "What does the national teacher think?"
Yan Guitu nodded, "It's okay to see you."
Qi Han went out of the tent to announce the audience of the merchants, but Shi Lingchen in the tent was very responsible and stood behind Yan Guitu with a knife in his hand, looking like a conscientious guard.
Soon, the merchant was led into the tent.
"Xiaomin Jin has never met Master Guoshi." After the merchant entered the tent, he hurriedly saluted without raising his head.
Yan Guitu nodded slightly: "Jin Bumei? Since you are also a citizen of my Da'an Kingdom, you should be excused. You asked to see me, why?"
The merchant looked up and saw that although Yan Guitu had an ordinary face, his calm eyes were extremely deep, like a bottomless pool, and he couldn't see any waves in his heart at all.
Jin Bumei hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth: "To tell the truth, I really have something to ask the Master of the State Teacher. In the past year, a group of vicious robbers came from nowhere on the grassland. They acted ruthlessly. Spicy, they plundered the caravans but never left them alive, claiming to be the Blood Slaughter Gang, many caravans have been looted by them."
Yan Guitu raised his eyebrows slightly, already guessing what Jin Bumei was asking for.
"So, when Xiaomin saw the team of Master Guoshi, he wanted to go through this grassland with him." Jin Bumei said this, and handed a skin bag full of milk wine with a flattering smile, "This milk wine, The national teacher took it to warm the stomach."
Yan Guitu said lightly, "I don't drink alcohol."
Jin Buwei paused slightly after hearing the words, and then insisted on persuading: "Even if you don't drink alcohol, you can taste this milk wine..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed across, and the wine bag in his hand was instantly cut into two pieces. What was inside was not milk wine, but a large pile of heavy gold.
Shi Lingchen put the knife back into its sheath expressionlessly: "It is the duty of our national teachers and guards to protect the people, and your team will follow us when the time comes."
Jin Bumai came back to his senses, with a happy expression on his face: "Then thank you, Master Guoshi, thank you several adults, thank you, thank you."
After that, he bowed his body and planned to exit.
"Wait," Yan Guitu called to him, "Pack up your things before leaving."
Jin Bumei was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and picked up all the heavy gold on the ground, and then walked out of the tent with ease.
Ling Jiangyu, who had been lying beside him pretending to be asleep, pretended to be woken up, rubbed his eyes and sat up, wrapped Yan Guitu's silver fox cloak around his body, and looked around in a daze: "Master, where is this place?"
Shi Lingchen, who was familiar with every little move of his, raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending, pretending again.
"This is the tent, let's rest here for an hour before leaving." Yan Guitu replied gently.
After several people had eaten the roast mutton, Yan Guitu frowned slightly as soon as he picked up the cup of milk tea.
Ling Jiangyu, who had been paying attention to Yan Guitu, immediately asked: "Master, what's wrong? Is this milk tea not to your taste?"
The milk tea on the grassland has a strong fishy smell, and many people may not be used to it when drinking it for the first time.
Yan Guitu shook his head slightly, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, grabbed the fire stick that had been placed beside him, got up and walked outside the tent: "The robbers are here."
robber?
Shi Lingchen and Qi Han looked at each other, and they both saw expectation from the other's eyes.
I just had enough wine and food, and I haven't digested my food yet, so this door-to-door pastime came.
In the distance of the grassland, on the horizon where the sky and the earth meet, a large group of densely packed black figures suddenly appeared.
"Strong... bandit! It's a bandit from the Blood Slaughter Gang!" Jin Bumei saw the round of golden skull flag on the opposite flag from a distance, and shouted in panic, "Why are you so unlucky? I met them, and I heard that there are monks cultivating immortals in their gang..."
Yan Guitu walked up to him, and motioned to him calmly: "Shut up."
Jin Bumei paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that this person next to him was the newly-appointed national teacher of Da'an Kingdom, there was no reason why he couldn't even deal with a group of bandits?
So he was certain in his heart, and immediately turned around and began to direct his guard: "Quickly move the goods and horses to the yard, be careful of those porcelain, don't spill the salt, and silk, pay attention..." Shi Lingchen shook his head: "It's a waste to match him with this name."
Those grass bandits originally thought that the target of this robbery was a large caravan. Looking at the excellent popular horses and the luxurious tents in the camp, they knew that this time they would definitely gain a lot.
The grass bandits who were fascinated by the property at their fingertips shouted loudly and rushed towards the crowd of only a dozen or so people with strange smiles.
However, just as they were about to rush in front of the group of people, hundreds of soldiers in full armor and holding weapons suddenly swarmed out of the two tents. The dragon flag was slowly raised.
"There is an ambush, there is an ambush!" The bandit rushing to the front panicked when he saw the dragon flag, and immediately tightened the reins on his palms so hard that deep marks were drawn on his palms. However, the horse under him still couldn't stop.
And the Anguo soldiers waiting here, under the command of Qi Han, beheaded people's heads and horses' legs, but it was just a face-to-face effort, and more than half of the seventy or eighty bandits were lost.
The rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and they couldn't care less about their friends of wine and meat, they beat the horses under them desperately, frantically trying to escape.
Among the thieves, someone suddenly turned around, and then made a tactic, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared, blowing towards the Zuo Yujun behind Qi Han.The sudden gust of wind made the Zuo Yujun defenseless, and the pace of pursuit was slowed down a lot.
After the strong wind dissipated, the group of thieves had already run a distance of 800 meters. It seemed that Jin Bumei's statement that there were monks in the bandit team was not entirely alarmist.
"Your Highness, are you still chasing him?" Qi Han turned his head, saw Shi Lingchen following him, and immediately asked for instructions in a low voice.
However, Shi Lingchen didn't seem to hear what he said, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the distant horizon.
There, at some point, another group of 20 cavalrymen sprang out, blocking the escape of this group of vicious robbers.
It is not uncommon for cavalry to appear on the prairie, but it would be somewhat rare if the cavalry team were all women.
The most important thing is that the female captain headed by this cavalry wears a golden mask on her left face that almost covers most of her face.The woman was wearing the common clothing of the grassland tribes. Her long, crow-colored hair was braided into a delicate thick black braid behind her head, making her look exceptionally capable.
The woman had a long knife in her hand like a dragon, and she stabbed steadily through the chests of the three robbers.When she pulled out the long knife, there was no wave in her eyes as cold as ice.
"Your Highness, that's...Princess Yunu." Qi Han's voice trembled slightly.
When he realized that he didn't get any feedback after saying this sentence, he subconsciously turned his head to look, um, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
He turned his head abruptly, and saw Shi Lingchen rushing straight into the battlefield, alone and on a horse, as if no one was there.
Although Shi Lingchen's cultivation base is mediocre in the cultivation world, it is more than enough to deal with the thieves composed of ordinary people.But after a short time, the bandits who were already defeated were even more vulnerable.
Helian Yunu pulled out a long knife from the chest of a gangster, and a stream of blood spattered on her bright red dress, with hardly any traces visible.
"Who are you?" The long knife still dripping blood in her hand pointed at Shi Lingchen.
Shi Lingchen was about to introduce himself, but suddenly he saw a bandit on the ground who had already been chopped down suddenly violently, controlling a flying sword and stabbing Helian Yunu's back fiercely and quickly.
"Be careful." Shi Lingchen rushed forward, grabbed the girl's slender waist and took her away from the horse's back. With a light tap of his foot on the horse's back, he jumped several feet high.
However, the cultivator who wielded the spirit sword was no ordinary person, so the spirit sword turned around and killed the two of them again.
"Master, don't we want to help?" Ling Jiangyu stood beside Yan Guitu and asked in a low voice.
Yan Guitu lazily leaned against the side of the tent, poking the weeds at his feet with the fire stick in his hand: "At this time, don't bother your prince brother's solo performance."
"Yeah." Ling Jiangyu nodded with a half understanding.
Jun Yun asked Yan Guitu with a smile on his face: "Your Highness regrets drawing a line with Princess Yunu, so you want to get closer to Princess Yunu again?"
Yan Guitu looked at Yun Junmei amusedly: "You know a lot, little girl."
Yun Junmei chuckled: "I know a lot, only the senior brother doesn't understand anything."
Si Huanian turned around in a daze, he was just watching the battle honestly, why was he suddenly named by his junior sister?
Suddenly, in order to block Helian Yunu's sword, Shi Lingchen did not hesitate to block the flying sword with his shoulder.After a short time, the clothes on his shoulders were stained red by the blood flowing out.
"Ah, this..." Seeing this, Si Huanian was so nervous that he immediately wanted to rush over to help.
"Calm down, senior brother." Yun Junmei raised his hand and grabbed Si Huanian's sleeve, "Have you heard of bitter tricks?"
Si Huanian nodded: "My mother taught me, but what does this have to do with the prince's injury?"
Yun Junmei continued to hold onto Si Huanian's sleeve: "The relationship is that if you go now, His Royal Highness will hate you forever. If you stay here and watch obediently, His Highness will be very, very grateful to you."
Si Huanian: "No."
It sounds complicated, but since the junior sister has said so, he should continue to eat melons and watch the show.
When the moon had just risen in the east, the group finally arrived at the Xiye Tribe where Helian Yunu was.
This is the largest tribe on the grassland. Unlike other nomadic peoples who live by water and grass, the Xiye Tribe already has a fixed king's tent, and the location of the king's tent is quite prosperous, not much different from those small towns in the Central Plains.
Shi Lingchen, who was injured in order to save others, received the highest standard of treatment, and Helian Yunu gave up his tent to accommodate his "life-saving benefactor".
Yan Guitu and his entourage watched Shi Lingchen shamelessly because of his 'serious injury', but finally decided to see nothing.
As soon as Jin Bumei entered the Xiye tribe, he asked Yan Guitu to resign, and hurriedly took his bulk goods to exchange for the gold, silver, gemstones, spices and other materials he wanted.
The night on the grassland is always noisy and quiet.
The Xiye Tribe held a grand welcome ceremony and bonfire party to welcome the Da'an National Teacher who came from afar.The Xiye people, who are good at singing and dancing, kept singing and dancing around the bonfire, and the dancing flames reflected sincere smiling faces.
as well as......
Ling Jiangyu sat next to Yan Guitu without changing his face, and with his extraordinary hearing, he could clearly hear the endless gasps and groans in the grass, woods, and tents not far away.
The people of the grassland tribes have always acted boldly and boldly, but they did not expect to be at the forefront of the whole cultivation world in this regard.
Helian Zhezhe, the king of the tribe sitting in front, naturally also heard these unstoppable movements. He glanced at Yan Guitu sitting next to him, and suddenly pushed the princess sitting next to him: " You go to serve the master of the country."
Then he turned his head and explained to Yan Guitu: "This king's concubine is also from Da'an, how about the national teacher?"
The pretty princess walked up to Yan Guitu holding a bowl of milky white milk wine with a smile on her face, stretched out a finger to dip the liquid in the glass, and put her slender finger like green onion into her red lips After sucking for a while: "Master, please."
Yun Junmei: "???"
Si Huanian: "???"
Yan Guitu: "..."
Ling Jiangyu: "!!!"
The see-off team was flying with banners and flags. Shi Lingchen claimed that his left commander, Qi Han, would send the national teacher out, so Qi Han, who was fully armed, also walked beside the carriage.
Shi Lingchen huddled in the carriage specially prepared for the female relatives, and looked at the white figure on the distant city wall through the gap of the window with a smile.

Yan Guitu raised his eyebrows slightly, already guessing what Jin Bumei was asking for.
"So, when Xiaomin saw the team of Master Guoshi, he wanted to go through this grassland with him." Jin Bumei said this, and handed a skin bag full of milk wine with a flattering smile, "This milk wine, The national teacher took it to warm the stomach."
Yan Guitu said lightly, "I don't drink alcohol."
Jin Buwei paused slightly after hearing the words, and then insisted on persuading: "Even if you don't drink alcohol, you can taste this milk wine..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed across, and the wine bag in his hand was instantly cut into two pieces. What was inside was not milk wine, but a large pile of heavy gold.
Shi Lingchen put the knife back into its sheath expressionlessly: "It is the duty of our national teachers and guards to protect the people, and your team will follow us when the time comes."
Jin Bumai came back to his senses, with a happy expression on his face: "Then thank you, Master Guoshi, thank you several adults, thank you, thank you."
After that, he bowed his body and planned to exit.
"Wait," Yan Guitu called to him, "Pack up your things before leaving."
Jin Bumei was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and picked up all the heavy gold on the ground, and then walked out of the tent with ease.
Ling Jiangyu, who had been lying beside him pretending to be asleep, pretended to be woken up, rubbed his eyes and sat up, wrapped Yan Guitu's silver fox cloak around his body, and looked around in a daze: "Master, where is this place?"
Shi Lingchen, who was familiar with every little move of his, raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending, pretending again.
"This is the tent, let's rest here for an hour before leaving." Yan Guitu replied gently.
After several people had eaten the roast mutton, Yan Guitu frowned slightly as soon as he picked up the cup of milk tea.
Ling Jiangyu, who had been paying attention to Yan Guitu, immediately asked: "Master, what's wrong? Is this milk tea not to your taste?"
The milk tea on the grassland has a strong fishy smell, and many people may not be used to it when drinking it for the first time.
Yan Guitu shook his head slightly, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, grabbed the fire stick that had been placed beside him, got up and walked outside the tent: "The robbers are here."
robber?
Shi Lingchen and Qi Han looked at each other, and they both saw expectation from the other's eyes.
I just had enough wine and food, and I haven't digested my food yet, so this door-to-door pastime came.
In the distance of the grassland, on the horizon where the sky and the earth meet, a large group of densely packed black figures suddenly appeared.
"Strong... bandit! It's a bandit from the Blood Slaughter Gang!" Jin Bumei saw the round of golden skull flag on the opposite flag from a distance, and shouted in panic, "Why are you so unlucky? I met them, and I heard that there are monks cultivating immortals in their gang..."
Yan Guitu walked up to him, and motioned to him calmly: "Shut up."
Jin Bumei paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that this person next to him was the newly-appointed national teacher of Da'an Kingdom, there was no reason why he couldn't even deal with a group of bandits?
So he was certain in his heart, and immediately turned around and began to direct his guard: "Quickly move the goods and horses to the yard, be careful of those porcelain, don't spill the salt, and silk, pay attention..." Shi Lingchen shook his head: "It's a waste to match him with this name."
Those grass bandits originally thought that the target of this robbery was a large caravan. Looking at the excellent popular horses and the luxurious tents in the camp, they knew that this time they would definitely gain a lot.
The grass bandits who were fascinated by the property at their fingertips shouted loudly and rushed towards the crowd of only a dozen or so people with strange smiles.
However, just as they were about to rush in front of the group of people, hundreds of soldiers in full armor and holding weapons suddenly swarmed out of the two tents. The dragon flag was slowly raised.
"There is an ambush, there is an ambush!" The bandit rushing to the front panicked when he saw the dragon flag, and immediately tightened the reins on his palms so hard that deep marks were drawn on his palms. However, the horse under him still couldn't stop.
And the Anguo soldiers waiting here, under the command of Qi Han, beheaded people's heads and horses' legs, but it was just a face-to-face effort, and more than half of the seventy or eighty bandits were lost.
The rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and they couldn't care less about their friends of wine and meat, they beat the horses under them desperately, frantically trying to escape.
Among the thieves, someone suddenly turned around, and then made a tactic, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared, blowing towards the Zuo Yujun behind Qi Han.The sudden gust of wind made the Zuo Yujun defenseless, and the pace of pursuit was slowed down a lot.
After the strong wind dissipated, the group of thieves had already run a distance of 800 meters. It seemed that Jin Bumei's statement that there were monks in the bandit team was not entirely alarmist.
"Your Highness, are you still chasing him?" Qi Han turned his head, saw Shi Lingchen following him, and immediately asked for instructions in a low voice.
However, Shi Lingchen didn't seem to hear what he said, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the distant horizon.
There, at some point, another group of 20 cavalrymen sprang out, blocking the escape of this group of vicious robbers.
It is not uncommon for cavalry to appear on the prairie, but it would be somewhat rare if the cavalry team were all women.
The most important thing is that the female captain headed by this cavalry wears a golden mask on her left face that almost covers most of her face.The woman was wearing the common clothing of the grassland tribes. Her long, crow-colored hair was braided into a delicate thick black braid behind her head, making her look exceptionally capable.
The woman had a long knife in her hand like a dragon, and she stabbed steadily through the chests of the three robbers.When she pulled out the long knife, there was no wave in her eyes as cold as ice.
"Your Highness, that's...Princess Yunu." Qi Han's voice trembled slightly.
When he realized that he didn't get any feedback after saying this sentence, he subconsciously turned his head to look, um, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
He turned his head abruptly, and saw Shi Lingchen rushing straight into the battlefield, alone and on a horse, as if no one was there.
Although Shi Lingchen's cultivation base is mediocre in the cultivation world, it is more than enough to deal with the thieves composed of ordinary people.But after a short time, the bandits who were already defeated were even more vulnerable.
Helian Yunu pulled out a long knife from the chest of a gangster, and a stream of blood spattered on her bright red dress, with hardly any traces visible.
"Who are you?" The long knife still dripping blood in her hand pointed at Shi Lingchen.
Shi Lingchen was about to introduce himself, but suddenly he saw a bandit on the ground who had already been chopped down suddenly violently, controlling a flying sword and stabbing Helian Yunu's back fiercely and quickly.
"Be careful." Shi Lingchen rushed forward, grabbed the girl's slender waist and took her away from the horse's back. With a light tap of his foot on the horse's back, he jumped several feet high.
However, the cultivator who wielded the spirit sword was no ordinary person, so the spirit sword turned around and killed the two of them again.
"Master, don't we want to help?" Ling Jiangyu stood beside Yan Guitu and asked in a low voice.
Yan Guitu lazily leaned against the side of the tent, poking the weeds at his feet with the fire stick in his hand: "At this time, don't bother your prince brother's solo performance."
"Yeah." Ling Jiangyu nodded with a half understanding.
Jun Yun asked Yan Guitu with a smile on his face: "Your Highness regrets drawing a line with Princess Yunu, so you want to get closer to Princess Yunu again?"
Yan Guitu looked at Yun Junmei amusedly: "You know a lot, little girl."
Yun Junmei chuckled: "I know a lot, only the senior brother doesn't understand anything."
Si Huanian turned around in a daze, he was just watching the battle honestly, why was he suddenly named by his junior sister?
Suddenly, in order to block Helian Yunu's sword, Shi Lingchen did not hesitate to block the flying sword with his shoulder.After a short time, the clothes on his shoulders were stained red by the blood flowing out.
"Ah, this..." Seeing this, Si Huanian was so nervous that he immediately wanted to rush over to help.
"Calm down, senior brother." Yun Junmei raised his hand and grabbed Si Huanian's sleeve, "Have you heard of bitter tricks?"
Si Huanian nodded: "My mother taught me, but what does this have to do with the prince's injury?"
Yun Junmei continued to hold onto Si Huanian's sleeve: "The relationship is that if you go now, His Royal Highness will hate you forever. If you stay here and watch obediently, His Highness will be very, very grateful to you."
Si Huanian: "No."
It sounds complicated, but since the junior sister has said so, he should continue to eat melons and watch the show.
When the moon had just risen in the east, the group finally arrived at the Xiye Tribe where Helian Yunu was.
This is the largest tribe on the grassland. Unlike other nomadic peoples who live by water and grass, the Xiye Tribe already has a fixed king's tent, and the location of the king's tent is quite prosperous, not much different from those small towns in the Central Plains.
Shi Lingchen, who was injured in order to save others, received the highest standard of treatment, and Helian Yunu gave up his tent to accommodate his "life-saving benefactor".
Yan Guitu and his entourage watched Shi Lingchen shamelessly because of his 'serious injury', but finally decided to see nothing.
As soon as Jin Bumei entered the Xiye tribe, he asked Yan Guitu to resign, and hurriedly took his bulk goods to exchange for the gold, silver, gemstones, spices and other materials he wanted.
The night on the grassland is always noisy and quiet.
The Xiye Tribe held a grand welcome ceremony and bonfire party to welcome the Da'an National Teacher who came from afar.The Xiye people, who are good at singing and dancing, kept singing and dancing around the bonfire, and the dancing flames reflected sincere smiling faces.
as well as......
Ling Jiangyu sat next to Yan Guitu without changing his face, and with his extraordinary hearing, he could clearly hear the endless gasps and groans in the grass, woods, and tents not far away.
The people of the grassland tribes have always acted boldly and boldly, but they did not expect to be at the forefront of the whole cultivation world in this regard.
Helian Zhezhe, the king of the tribe sitting in front, naturally also heard these unstoppable movements. He glanced at Yan Guitu sitting next to him, and suddenly pushed the princess sitting next to him: " You go to serve the master of the country."
Then he turned his head and explained to Yan Guitu: "This king's concubine is also from Da'an, how about the national teacher?"
The pretty princess walked up to Yan Guitu holding a bowl of milky white milk wine with a smile on her face, stretched out a finger to dip the liquid in the glass, and put her slender finger like green onion into her red lips After sucking for a while: "Master, please."
Yun Junmei: "???"
Si Huanian: "???"
Yan Guitu: "..."
Ling Jiangyu: "!!!"
