Yan Guo, Wu Yuan.

A horse-drawn carriage sped through the snow, its wheels making two deep ruts in the snow.

Next to the carriage, a dozen knights rode horses to guard both sides.

The knights all looked simple, and many of them still had wounds on their faces and bodies, and it was clear that they had been through a lot of battles before.

It was the season when the snow was just beginning to melt, and the horses' hooves kicked up countless snowflakes and mud on the road, making the road more and more muddy.

The sun was already in the middle of the sky, and the sun was shining down from the sky, bringing a little warmth to the world.

In a short time, the walls of Wuyuan City were already in sight.

It was at this time that a knight next to the carriage suddenly shouted, "And rest in the woods ahead." ”

The convoy soon stopped in a small grove on the side of the road.

The knights seemed to be very experienced in this kind of rapid march, and as soon as they had stopped and settled their horses, they began to sit down silently and take out dry food and water to eat and drink, and many others bandaged the wounds of their wounded companions.

A young knight strode towards the carriage with dry rations and water, and just as he walked in front of the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A young woman dressed in ordinary women's clothes, but with a somewhat noble appearance, showed her head and asked the young man in front of her, "Chang Guojun, but you have already arrived in the territory of Zhao Kingdom?" ”

The young knight shook his head and said to the woman in front of him, "Wuyuan City has become the territory of the Yan Kingdom since the Battle of Changping, and it is difficult to say that it is safe at this moment. ”

This young knight is the Changguo Junle of Yan Kingdom, and the young woman is needless to say that she is the queen of Yan who came out of Zhao Dan's mother.

Seeing the worried look on Empress Yan's face, Le Jian hurriedly said comfortingly: "The queen doesn't have to worry, judging from the current footsteps, she will be able to reach the territory of Zhao at sunset at most." ”

After a pause, Le Jian continued to ask, "Is Gongzi Ke okay?" ”

Empress Yan nodded, moved her body slightly, and revealed a small head from the carriage: "I'm asleep." ”

Le Jian didn't say more, and handed the water and dry food in his hand to him: "Please also ask the queen to give in for the time being." ”

Empress Yan took the dry food, but she didn't immediately put her head back into the carriage, but glanced at Le Jian and said very seriously: "Chang Guojun, if you can succeed this time, the old woman will definitely crown you as the prime minister of Yan State." ”

Le Jian didn't say anything, but bowed solemnly to Queen Yan.

After a quarter of an hour, Rakuma stood up: "Let's go!" ”

The people who followed him were all members of the Le clan, who were not only strong in martial arts, but also loyal.

Upon hearing Rakuma's order, they immediately got up and brought their horses and drove the carriage south.

There was a sound of hooves, smoke and dust, and everything seemed to be going well.

But Lejian has never dared to let down his vigilance.

Because Le Jian knows very well that Gongzi An and Rong Oyster, who have now controlled the power of Yan Kingdom, will never allow Yan Hou and Gongzi Ke to leave Yan Kingdom and enter Zhao Kingdom so peacefully.

In the past two days, Rakuma has dealt with two pursuits, and it is these two attacks that have changed the number of people around Rakuma from a hundred to a dozen now.

As the minutes passed, the imaginary enemy never appeared, and the music slowly relaxed.

But at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the music room.

"Your Majesty, there are cavalry in Wuyuan City!"

"What?" Lejian's heart sank, and he immediately turned his gaze to Wuyuan City.

Sure enough, the originally closed gate of Wuyuan City suddenly opened at this moment, and a group of Yan cavalry with at least fifty or more people drove out of the city and came straight in the direction where Lejian was.

Le Jian took a deep breath, suddenly pulled the reins of the horse hard, and shouted: "Leling Lechang, bring people with me, you must stop these Yan cavalry!" ”

As soon as Le Jian gave the order, ten Le clan people followed behind Le Jian and rushed directly towards the Yan cavalry who came to intercept him.

The other five cavalrymen continued to guard the carriage where Empress Yan was, and they continued to advance towards the southwest without stopping.

The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly, and soon they were within a hundred paces.

Rakuma flipped his hand, and the longbow that was originally behind his back was already in his hand.

"Whoosh!" The bow and arrow slashed through the air like a meteor, hitting a cavalryman at the forefront of the Yan cavalry with great accuracy, directly piercing the heart of the Yan cavalry.

The LeTV people behind the music room also bent their bows and arrows and shot towards the Yan cavalry.

These Le clan members are all battle-hardened people, and many of them have participated in the war against Donghu, so they not only have excellent riding skills and archery skills, but also have outstanding marksmanship, and they killed and injured many of the Yan cavalry at the forefront at once.

Rakuma was about to continue to bend his bow and arrows, when suddenly he screamed, and the whole person fell on the horse's back, saving the horse's neck under his crotch.

"Whoosh!" An arrow slashed over Rakuma's head, and the wind blew Rikuma's scalp numb.

Lejian secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, if his reaction was so slow by half a beat, maybe he would have to come directly to a head-through end.

Several screams came from behind Lejian, and it was obvious that someone from the Le clan had been hit by an arrow.

As soon as Lejian straightened up from his horse, the Yan cavalry had already arrived in front of him.

"Die!" Lejian dropped his bow and arrows, pulled out his long sword from his waist, and slashed at the head of an oncoming Yan cavalryman.

The two horses staggered, a bloody light appeared, and in the scream, the Yan cavalry was directly cut off by Le Jian The right hand holding the sword was cut off, and the arm flew into the sky.

Warm blood spilled on Rakuma's face, and the strong smell of blood began to spread on the tip of Rakuma's nose.

But Rakuma didn't have any joy or other thoughts at all, because in the next moment, another Yan cavalryman with a sword in his hand appeared in his sight, vowing to cut him off his horse.

After a very fierce and brief bloody cavalry charge, there was no enemy in front of him, and he reined in his horse and slowly turned around.

In the hedge he had just had, Rakuma slashed a sword at each of his enemies and slashed all five of them off his horse.

The price paid by Rakuma was to eat two swords in the waist and abdomen, and there was also an extra wound on the left calf.

Intense pain came from the wound, making Rakuma almost faint in pain.

Le Jian struggled to stabilize his body, and when he looked closely, he found that only four of the ten Le clansmen who had just rushed with him were still standing behind him.

On the other hand, although the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom on the other side also lost more than a dozen people, there were still more than thirty cavalry on the opposite side of the music room.

Rakuma laughed miserably, and said to the four knights behind him: "Today, I am even tired of you. ”

Regarding Le Jian's words, the Le clan people behind him didn't seem to agree.

I saw a clansman laugh and said: "Since we are members of the Le clan, it is natural for us to serve the king to death, but once we die, why should we be so polite?" ”

"Not bad." Lejian's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "It's just a matter of death, so why am I afraid?" ”

Just as Lejian was speaking, the remaining thirty Yan cavalry had already surrounded Lejian and the others.

Not only that, but Lejian also heard the sound of drums from Wuyuan City, and a group of hundreds of Yan Army infantry was rushing out of Wuyuan City, heading in the direction where Lejian was.

Obviously, this time the defenders of Wuyuan City were dispatched by the whole army.

After seeing this scene, Rakuma knew that he had no luck this time, and couldn't help but glance back at the carriage that was still galloping.

"I just hate not being able to protect the queen!"

An officer of the Yan Army, who looked like a commander, shouted at Lejian: "Lejian, it is really a big crime for you to betray the king and abscond with the queen and Gongzi Ke, so don't get off your horse and be bound quickly!" ”

Rakuma sneered at this, and raised the long sword in his hand high.

"Second and third sons, follow me!"

As soon as the words fell, Le Jian did not hesitate to charge towards the Yan cavalry in front of him.

This time, Rakuma no longer expects to live until the end of the charge.

But what made Le Jian strange was that his charge had just begun, and the Yan cavalry queue in front of him suddenly became chaotic.

"Whoosh!" A rain of arrows suddenly came from the side, knocking over many Yan cavalry.

Rakuma raised his head in surprise, only to find that at some point, another cavalry with hundreds of numbers had arrived.

From the style of clothing and armor of these cavalry, Lema easily judged which country these cavalry belonged to.

"It's the cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom!" Le Jian was overjoyed in his heart, and his heart suddenly gave birth to hope, waving the long sword in his hand and rushing into the Yan army's cavalry formation, fighting wildly.

In just a moment, the unprepared Yan cavalry was defeated, and only a dozen remnants of the defeated soldiers were left to abandon their armor and flee towards Wuyuan City.

Seeing this, the infantry of the Yan Kingdom who had just rushed out of Wuyuan City actually retreated back into the city and began to close the gate of Wuyuan City.

The cavalry of Zhao did not pursue after seeing the Yan army fleeing, but quickly stopped.

A young officer of the Zhao State rode out, came to Le Jian, and asked Le Jian, "But Chang Guojun is in front of you?" ”

Lejian nodded and said, "I'm Lejian, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......."

The young officer of the Zhao State showed a smile and saluted towards the music room: "Captain Li Mu of the Zhao State has seen Chang Guojun. I have been ordered to wait here for many days, and finally wait for the arrival of the king of Chang. ”

After confirming the identity of the other party, Lejian couldn't help but feel relieved.

Now that the army of Zhao State has appeared, then he and Empress Yan and his party are absolutely safe.

A big stone fell to the ground in Le Jian's heart, and he was about to open his mouth to continue to say something, but he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he fell straight off the horse.
