Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 192
There are thirteen checkpoints to pass from Antai City, the capital of the country where the spring rains are overwhelming, to the frontier fortress where there is no grass.

Three days and three nights itinerary, wind, meals and camping.It is not easy to pass the thirteen levels, but fortunately, she has the token of the East Palace to prove her identity. She claims to be a counselor under Prince Murong Wu, and she is going to the frontier to assist the King of Nanling in the battle against Nanzhao.

Seeing that the frontier fortress is close in front of you, you only need to pass the last checkpoint - Luoyang Pass.

After running around day and night, the horse under our feet was foaming from the mouth, and it was difficult to stand still.

With fair white hands, he took off the cowhide water bottle at his waist, took a sip, and looked at the bright red sunset outside the wilderness with his phoenix eyes.The entire gorgeous and compelling face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, which was shockingly beautiful.

The same is true of the war horse under Madam Xing's crotch behind her. She squinted at the back of the setting sun, which looked cold and straight, like a cold sword in its sheath, with amazement and admiration flashing in her eyes.

The three-day itinerary, with only a short rest at night, along the way, the young lady ate noodle cakes brought from the capital, drank stream water that could be obtained from the mountain stream, and never complained of suffering or fatigue.Even if she had driven the journey for three days, her body was still jolting on the horse as if she had fallen apart.

"Miss, do you want to rest for a while? You will be able to enter the frontier as soon as you pass the Luoyang Pass," Madam Xing said kindly. She couldn't eat enough for three days, and the wind was like a knife. The eldest lady has lost a lot of weight and her skin is also dark. A lot, even the phoenix eyes became sharp and vigilant.Today's eldest lady is really like the desert woman's charming beauty and sharp thorns that can only be found in the desert outside the Great Wall.Paired with a tight-fitting black outfit, it is like a peerless famous sword hidden in its scabbard. Once it is unsheathed, the world will lose its color.

"Okay!" Liu Yunjin nodded slightly.

The closer to the frontier, the more deserts there are, and it is almost difficult to find water sources. Fortunately, there is still a lot of water in the cowhide kettle.Liu Yunjin brushed over all her curly hair, and a layer of smoke and sand fell down.She really wanted to find a place to take a bath, but the overwhelming solitude made her dismiss the idea.

"Find a sheltered hill to rest at night, try not to live, so as not to attract bandits," Liu Yunjin said calmly, his eyes wandering on the flat ridge ground.

Although there are soldiers stationed outside Luoyang Pass, there are also many people living in the wilderness ahead.There is no way to grow food for subsistence on the plains, so you can only kill people and sell goods.

The sunset was just a moment, and in a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth seemed to be full of ink, and it was completely dark.

The two found a slightly raised place, and drove the horse to a distance, and the two fell down behind the mound to rest.

The cold wind near the frontier was extremely cold. After Liu Yunjin ate some dry and hard bread, which was barely enough to satisfy his hunger, he crossed his legs and used his internal strength to fight the cold.Although Nanny Xing knew martial arts and knew some punches, she had little internal strength in her body.The night was bitterly cold, and Madam Xing couldn't help shivering slightly.

After hearing the sound of people's teeth colliding, Liu Yunjin opened his eyes, and the sky full of starlight covered his head, like an upside-down chessboard, without a trace of cover.

Staring at the stars all over the sky, she thought of the thousands of Kongming lanterns that rose into the sky that night in Shangyuan. The cold wind cut her, but her eyes warmed up.

When she raised her hand to use some internal energy to protect the Xingmao from the cold, a few sparks suddenly lit up in the wilderness, like the eyes of a hungry wolf looking for food.

"Miss...that's..." before Madam Xing finished speaking, Liu Yunjin took her hand.

She leaned forward slightly, doing the movements that a cheetah would only attack, "Mammy pack up."

Madam Xing didn't dare to be negligent. Although her hands and feet were stiff from the cold, she quickly put away the water bottle and food, looked at the horse not far away, and said hesitantly, "Miss, the horse is still there!"

The two carefree horses didn't know the danger was coming, they were still sniffing low in the wilderness, looking for the weeds that came up slightly.

The moonlight is so good, the moonlight pours down and illuminates everything in the wasteland, there is nowhere to hide.

As the fire came closer, she could clearly see who was coming. The dozen or so people were all big and three rough men.They wear thick felt hats on their heads and warm clothing made of animal fur. They ride horses that are even stronger than their horses.

"Boss, what do you think those two shadows are? Do they look like living things?" A rough voice sounded from the horse's back.

The head of the middle-aged strong man, with eyes like a falcon, a calm face, and the courage of a person in power, looked at the two shadows and said, "It's two horses! Since there are horses here, people must be hiding not far away. Catch them back, collect and scrape the money, and then they can be steamed! If they are women, they will be held in the village to carry on the family line."

"Okay! Boss is wise!" The words of the old and strong man aroused the hearts of those bandits to kill and rob.

"Nurse Xing, let's go!" Liu Yunjin yelled decisively without hesitation, and dragged Nurse Xing towards the horse.With a dozen strong men, she may not be an opponent, and besides, there is a criminal mother by her side, so she can't take risks.

If the horses were taken away by them, even if they ran with their lives, they would not be able to outrun the horses under them.

For the present plan, he had no choice but to get on his horse and escape from here.It is very close to Luoyang Pass, as long as they can enter the pass, these bandits will never have the guts to catch up.

Just one bet!At least they are still some distance away from themselves, preemptive strikes may not be caught up.

After the two got on their horses, they ran wildly under the moonlight.

Someone from behind yelled loudly, and it seemed that there was still the stench of not washing up all year round, "George, don't let those two get away!"

"Hurry up! They must have a lot of jewels on them, and they are going to make a deal with those barbarians in Nanzhao!" Someone licked their lips and roared, and the sound of horseshoes behind them became more and more urgent, like the sound of drums.

During the journey of three days and three nights, the horse under the crotch was only resting for a while, how could it run past the tame wild horse under the crotch of the bandit behind.

Seeing the people behind her getting closer and closer, Mammy Xing's eyes showed a cold look of desperation, she shouted at Liu Yunjin: "Master, run away! The old slave is gone!"

After she shouted this sentence, the horse under her seemed to have sensed it, and knelt down on her front legs and collapsed on the ground, spitting bloody white foam from her mouth, already exhausted.

"Grab the one in front!" The bandit in the lead roared angrily, with beastly blood in his eyes.

Madam Xing closed her eyes, and a line of cold tears ran across her calm and proud face.As long as the lady runs away, she's just a useless old thing.Madam Xing pulled out a short knife from her bosom, and stabbed herself in the heart.

She is a first-class female official in the palace. She has served the most honorable empress dowager in her life. She guards herself like a jade and is admired by others.Even if she dies, she still has to keep her last name, leaving only a skin, let those wolves, tigers and leopards steam or boil, she just wants to be clean and free.

At the moment when he stabbed towards the heart with all his strength, the short knife in his hand was bounced away by the cold finger wind.

"Little... Young Master!" Madam Xing looked at the person in front of her in shock, and shouted with tears in her eyes, "Young Master, why don't you leave? The status of this old slave is humble, and it's not worth your risk to save yourself!"

"You gave up your life to accompany me to go to the frontier, and I will bring you back intact! You belong to my son, and my life is up to me, and I will not allow this group of beasts to ruin it!" The phoenix eyes reflected the moonlight, cold as cold stones, she Standing in front of Madam Xing.The toes stepped on the ground, and the chill gathered on the ground.

This gorgeous and icy face under the moonlight is better than all the scenery in the world.No!It is this beautiful face that lights up the barren frontier.

More than a dozen people reined in at the same time, their eyes filled with amazement followed by greed.This is a bloody peony in the south of the Yangtze River that blooms on the top of the wilderness. Whether it is a man or a woman, they can't help but want to pick it up and keep it in their pockets.

"Capture him! Capture him alive!" Compared with her, Xingmao, who was slumped on the ground, was like an ugly rock under a peony flower, not worth looking at.

"You have to rely on your ability to capture me!" Liu Yunjin smiled enchantingly, and the plump lips outlined by cinnabar traced a cold and disdainful arc.

Just a smile made more than a dozen bandits react.It was the first time in my life that Ge Laozi saw such a beautiful man, he looked like a painting, if he was riding on him, how ecstasy would it be!
Looking at Liu Yunjin whose head was only up to their chins, the two strong men clacked their fingers, licked the silver thread on their lips, and walked to Liu Yunjin's side with lewd smiles.

"Huh", "huh", the palm wind hit, Liu Yunjin quickly avoided the rude and powerful bear hugs of the two men, and then shifted her feet by a wrong step, her figure fluttered like a rainbow, and landed on one of the men lightly and silently behind.Before he could turn around to attack, his toes tightened the distance, and kicked at his weakest back knee bone, only to hear a scream, and the burly man knelt on the ground with one knee.

Just one kick easily shattered his leg bones.

"You!" The rest of the strong man was shocked, looking at the thin and petite young man in front of him, cruelty and guard were drawn across his face full of stubble.

This time, her icy phoenix eyes shone.She took the initiative to attack, and her figure transformed into a ghost, as if a shadow had already stuck to the back of a strong man.She stepped on his calf with one foot, forcing him to half kneel on the ground. At the same time, she held his strong and thick arm with both hands and twisted it vigorously. With a crisp sound, she twisted the strong man's arm completely.

Head-to-head, she is no match.Only by cleverness.A set of smooth and fierce small grappling techniques made the two strong men fold their arms and scream in pain, rolling all over the floor.

The leader of the bandit was so angry that his brows trembled slightly, and he said sharply: "Catch him together! When his limbs are crippled, and he is forced to kneel on the ground begging for mercy, let's see how arrogant he is! How dare he hurt our brothers! superior--"

"Miss..." Madam Xing looked at more than a dozen people surrounding her together, and called out Liu Yunjin's identity with furious eyes.

At this moment, the eyes of more than a dozen men were already red with hatred and desire, and they didn't even notice what Madam Xing shouted.They just want to catch this overly beautiful but icy young man, imprison him as a prison, and satisfy their desire to conquer and ravage.

While dodging their punches, Liu Yunjin looked behind him, Luoyang Pass was just around the corner, only five or six miles away.

"Hurry up, Madam!" She turned around and picked up Madam Xing on her back, riding on the wind.

If you want to avoid being overtaken by horses along the way, you can only use light work, and with a person on your back, the internal energy in your body will be consumed extremely quickly.

More than a dozen bandits are good at burning, killing and looting. They have brute strength, but they don't have any martial arts skills.He could only watch helplessly as the black figure rushed towards the Luoyang Pass like the wind blowing through a cloud of lead.

"Boss, what should we do? Let the sissy of the thief mother hurt our two brothers, and just leave unscathed?" One of the bandits with a scar on his face spat out thick phlegm, feeling unwilling.

The boss sitting on the horse pondered for a while, he knew that the young man's martial arts were not weak, if he really wanted to make a move, the two brothers would not be as simple as missing arms and legs.

But if the young man is not given a lesson, I am afraid he will not be able to convince the crowd.

"Okay! Let's catch up and teach him a lesson!" The leader's eyes flickered, with a moonlight-like gleam in his eyes.

He has plundered in the wilderness for many years, and he has practiced a good knife technique.He didn't make a move just now, because he wanted to find out how the young man's martial arts were.Right now, it seems that Kuai Zhu Ruo is far above him.

At night, Luoyang Pass has been closed, with torches burning on it, and two or three soldiers patrolling and guarding.

The snitch chasing after him, the sound of hooves breaking through the silent night, "Catch him! Don't let him enter Luoyang Pass!"

The rapid consumption of internal energy in the body, and beads of sweat dripping from the forehead, after seeing the torture on the back, she deeply blamed herself, she was the one who dragged the young lady down.

The sound of horseshoes and the roar of horse thieves aroused the attention of the patrolling soldiers on the tower of Luoyang Pass. Not only did they see the horse thieves attacking not far away, they also saw clearly the willow hanging in the air like a goshawk and a wild crane approaching the wind. Brocade.

"Who! How dare you attack Luoyang Pass at night, shoot it down quickly!" The leader of the night patrol guards panicked and hurriedly said.

The exclamation fell, and all the soldiers on the tower mobilized and dispatched.The archers neatly took out their longbows and put arrow feathers on them, densely covering each crenel of the tower. The sharp arrow ends were as red as blood under the light of the fire. When the leader gave an order, it would be a terrifying scene of thousands of arrows being fired. .

After passing Luoyang Pass, a carriage drove slowly in the wilderness.A light and tranquil scent of ink lingered in the curtain that was blown away by the wind. The white fingertips lifted the curtain made of ink bamboo, and the voice sounded as warm as the wind, "What happened outside Luoyang Pass?"

They were not too close to the Luoyang City Tower, and they could all feel a chilling aura.

A tall figure dressed as a guard clasped his hands and replied, "Report to Your Highness, there seems to be a horse thief coming!"

"Horse thief?" A faint voice sounded, no emotion could be heard, "They are so courageous! The looting outside the pass is not enough, this time they actually want to attack Luoyang Pass. After I return to Antai, I will tell my father As I said above, the unscrupulous people in the poor mountains and rivers should not be pitied!"

"Yes..." The guard responded.The third prince has always been famous for being as gentle as jade, but he doesn't want to, when he makes a move, he will kill clearly and show no personal affection.

"Your Highness, shall we continue on our way?" the guard asked.

Behind the black bamboo curtain, there was a pause for a while, and the gurgling voice passed through the bamboo forest, "Rein in the horse and go back. Horse thieves are known for their fierceness, and I don't know if the soldiers on the tower can guard them. Once the horse thieves pass Luoyang Pass, there will be internal and external troubles." situation."

"Yes!" After the sound of the horse's cry, there was the sound of hurried hooves.
