Chapter 358 General's Death
While running for his life, Jiang An looked back.
The mother and son embraced each other, the old man knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together to thank God for letting him escape the disaster, and...
The girl who had just given the purse to Brother Meng looked over with a worried look on her face, and stared at Jiang An from a distance, with a look of confusion in her eyes.
"Brother, why are these people..."
"Yi Yue!"
Her brother pulled people to the other side, "Don't meddle in things that shouldn't be your business!"
"But…"
"An'an..."
The little girl turned her head and saw Li Xingsang and Qi Shanyuan walking side by side.
I didn't see it clearly just now, but the direction they are fleeing in should be the Lingbei mentioned by the people of Qicheng...
"Brother Meng!"
Jiang An raised his lips to reveal a wicked smile, his high-bound black hair fluttering in the wind.
"Miss…"
She tilted her head slightly, her red dress flamboyant and dashing, "Let's go, let's go to my ancestors' territory!"
Isn’t her ancestor the founding emperor of Southern Shang who is sleeping in the imperial mausoleum in Lingbei?
Li Xingsang swallowed subconsciously, but unexpectedly a belly full of wind came in.
He coughed uncontrollably a few times, looked at Jiang An seriously, and asked again as if to verify, "Are you really going?"
Even though he was running for his life, trespassing into the imperial mausoleum was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of his clan!
"go with!"
Jiang An directly snatched the reins from her brother's hands, and was in the mood to joke, "After all, I haven't even met this charming ancestor yet!"
Of course, she would be even happier if he could fake his death and crawl out of the coffin!
Qi Shanyuan: "Listen to An An!"
"There are guards at the imperial mausoleum!"
Although there are not many people, we can still fight for a while to buy some time.
Jiang An raised his eyebrows and smiled wantonly, "Yes, that's what I think!"
Hearing this, Qi Shanyuan on horseback felt very helpless.
At this time, she is in a good mood...
Because of the rumors about wandering ghosts, no one has ever set foot in Lingbei, which is a good thing for the little girl.
The only path before her was one that was walked by people.
This path must have been trampled out by the soldiers who were responsible for purchasing supplies for the imperial mausoleum and the brave people who came to the imperial mausoleum to worship.
If you keep walking along this road, you will soon see signs of human habitation.
The pursuers behind them obviously guessed Jiang An and his men's intentions...
The leader shouted, "Draw the bow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the archers rode his horse to the front of the team.
Draw the bow, pull the string...
The arrow was pointed directly at the royal guards in front.
"put!"
Jiang An stared intently at the road ahead, thinking: It’s almost there… It’s almost there…
She didn't want those innocent people to be implicated because of her, but she also didn't want to see these guards die!
Suddenly, she seemed to hear the sound of an arrow breaking through the air coming from behind!
The little girl's scalp tingled for a moment. The feeling was unfamiliar to her, as if she was being stared at by something.
It seems like the body is reminding itself of the impending danger...
The next moment, she turned her body instinctively.
As she raised her eyes, an arrow feather making a buzzing sound brushed past her cheek.
There was a trace of blood on it!
"elder brother!"
"Miss Protection!"
Meng couldn't bear to swing his sword to cut off the arrow feathers, and immediately ordered, "Enter the woods!"
Huo Changming glanced at the wound that was bleeding nonchalantly, and smiled innocently, "It's okay, just a little scrape."
He was behind the little girl, and the arrow first pierced his arm and then shot towards Jiang An.
Jiang An pursed his lips and said nothing more. He just turned his head silently and thought frantically in his mind.
……
The pursuers behind him saw that the people in front were still not stopping, so they gave another order, "Arrow your arrows!"
This time he did not rush to order the archers to shoot, but instead shouted to Jiang An in front.
"Miss, you don't want all the soldiers behind you to die under the arrows, do you?"
"One thousand against one hundred, you are not the prince of the state, you don't have the ability to turn defeat into victory..."
"We are ordered to invite someone. As long as you are willing to go with us, our personal guards will be safe!"
Meng couldn't bear the worry that the little girl would be disturbed by what this person said, so he immediately said, "Miss, don't believe him. We will definitely send you to the north safely."
“We’ll all go back!”
"right…"
"Correct!"
"Of course I know!"
"but…"
She looked back and squeezed out the words from between her teeth, with a hint of anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to stab someone.
"We have to kill the archers first!"
"Shut up!"
She tightened the reins, and the horse suddenly stopped, with a long neigh echoing through the forest.
"Brother, get off the horse and ride with Xingsang."
"younger sister…"
The little girl's brows were filled with sternness, and her words were not to be refused, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't bandage it, you don't want your arm anymore!"
The arrow pierced through her arm. She was not blind. Did she really believe what Huo Changming said about it being a superficial injury?
After saying that, Jiang An also got off his horse and handed the red tasseled spear in his hand to Meng Bushen.
Taking this opportunity, she whispered to him, "Watch my eyes for a while, when they get closer..."
A dark light flashed in Meng Bu Ren's eyes, "I know. Kill the archer first."
The little girl raised her eyebrows slightly, "Killing is not enough, take the bow as well!"
Today, she wants to let them experience what it feels like to be pierced by thousands of arrows!
"Yes!"
"Miss, have you figured it out?"
The leader of the pursuing soldiers smiled mockingly and raised his hand, and the archers withdrew their attack.
"Of course~"
The little girl took a few steps forward, cursing in her heart but looking harmless on the surface.
She pretended to be scared, almost squeezing out two tears, "There are so many of you, what if one of the arrows doesn't have eyes and shoots me..."
"I haven't lived enough~"
"Don't worry, Miss."
"You are the granddaughter of the Concubine Dowager, so we are naturally very steady. As long as you follow us obediently, I guarantee that we will not lose a single hair!"
Toffee people...
This is really stupid enough to expose one's own identity!
The little girl remained calm, with her hands tangled behind her back.
Qi Shanyuan could see clearly that this was what An An usually did when she was thinking.
"The Toffee has an army under his command?"
Meng couldn't bear it: "No."
He replied with absolute certainty.
The Queen Mother only had one group of personal soldiers, which were given to her by the late Emperor from the Akabane Army that was guarding the imperial city.
Now there are about 500 soldiers left in this group, who are usually responsible for guarding the safety of the Huguo Temple.
There is a Queen Mother in Kyoto and a Prince in the North. No matter who it is, they will not give the Concubine Dowager a chance to raise troops!
Jiang An lowered his voice, almost laughing out of anger, "So is this thousand-man team a ghost?"
Out of thin air? ?
Meng Bu Ren was silent for a moment, "Subordinates..."
He doesn't know either...
He is a man who only knows how to fight, and he always fights wherever the prince points.
"Okay, let's ignore that for now."
No matter where he comes from, whether he is a human or a ghost, just beat him first!
Jiang An stared at the gradually forming encirclement and the approaching pursuit team with round eyes, waiting for the opportunity.
She moved her wrists, and the arrows under her sleeves were faintly visible.
"Miss..."
The leader looked very proud, and stood in front of Jiang An, his attitude was too arrogant, "Please come in!"
"please?"
The girl calculated that there was only a few steps between them and sneered, "Where are you going?"
The smile on that person's face gradually faded, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Jiang An took the first step.
She took a sudden step forward, gathered strength in her small fist, and punched the man in the abdomen.
"Sigh~"
This is Huo Changming who is being bandaged.
Li Xingsang frowned, "Hurt? Then I'll use some more numbing powder..."
“It hurts…”
Young Master Huo grinned and said, "I feel so bad for him just watching him."
My sister didn't hold back when she punched.
Logically, killing a horse is not a problem!
Li Xingsang paused for a moment while holding the porcelain bottle, and suddenly felt that his heartache should be fed to the dog.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the bloody wound. It doesn't hurt, right?
While thinking about it, he poured the powder in his hand.
"Ow!!!"
Along with Huo Changming's screams, the people beaten by Jiang An flew backwards, knocking down two of their own people who were not on guard.
