The prince is very fierce

The moonlight is quiet among the mountains.

Jiang Kai was knocked unconscious during the pursuit and fell into a state of chaos. When he woke up, he felt a splitting headache. The heavy armor on his body was so comfortable that it was difficult to even move. Before he could realize where he was, he probably just thought he had been seriously injured on the battlefield. He had been pampered since he was a child, so he subconsciously snorted:

"water……"

Under the big pine tree, Xu Buling woke up after seeing the tied meat coupons. He stood up and came to the horse. He looked at the disheveled Jiang Kai:

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

"Uh-huh?!"

When Jiang Kai heard the unfamiliar accent, he woke up in an instant. He turned over and wanted to retreat. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied to the horse's back. He only swayed feebly twice, and the armor on his body made a soft 'squeak' sound when it rubbed against him.

Jiang Kai opened his eyes and looked to the side in horror. When he saw the strange and handsome young man in front of him, his face turned pale. He naturally recognized that this was Xu Buling, the Crown Prince of Su whom he had just chased, and hurriedly said loudly:

"Come here! Escort!"

The sound was so loud that it frightened the horse to move a few times.

Xu Buling raised his hand and knocked on Jiang Kai's head: "What are you yelling at? No one will come to save you even if you break your throat."

Jiang Kai groaned, his thoughts gradually clearing up, and he realized that he was in a deserted mountain, and that he was still tied up. He understood that he was being held captive. Having been in a high position since childhood, he still has the ability to judge situations. He hurriedly said:

"Prince Xu, I have a blind eye but don't recognize Mount Tai..."

Xu Buling's face was stern: "Prince Jiang, is it useful for you to say this?"

"..."

Jiang Kai had already seen Xu Buling's skills and knew that there was no hope of escaping alone, but there was no fear on his face. After all, starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the sons of princes were not killed directly when they were captured. Killing them was meaningless except to boost the morale of the opponent. A living person was much more valuable than a dead one.

Knowing that he had no chance to die for his country, Jiang Kai didn't talk nonsense and spoke neatly:

"Xu Shizi, I admit my defeat. You can make a condition and send me to the Qi army camp. As long as it is reasonable, my father will not shirk the responsibility."

Xu Bu Ling nodded with satisfaction: "Just recognize the situation. When you get to Luliang Mountain, you can write a letter to your father to report that you are safe. As for the conditions, I will tell you after I have thought about it."

When Jiang Kai heard this, his expression changed slightly: "You take me to Luliang Mountain and I will be in the hands of the Song family. The Song family's condition must be that I, Da Qi, will withdraw my troops. I will never stop fighting for Da Qi to restore the country. , won’t I never be able to go back in this life?”

Xu Buling shook his head: "Not necessarily. You in Beiqi were strong enough to kill Dayue, and you can still survive. Or if you are beaten back to Mobei, I can take you back when the war ceases."

Jiang Kai's eyes turned anxious: "Young Master Xu, we are all heirs, don't be so ruthless in doing things, you are pushing me to my death. Take me back to Xiliang. With my status, I can at least cut off one or two cities for you." If you give me to the Xu family in Chang'an, I won't even be able to exchange for my hair."

"I captured you alive on the battlefield. I couldn't hide the news. I secretly brought you back to Xiliang. Was it because I wanted to undermine the imperial court?"

"Your Xu family is like this, sooner or later they will rebel..."

"Why, you still want to persuade me to surrender to Northern Qi and help you restore Northern Qi?"

"..."

Jiang Kai choked on his words, knowing that talking more would be useless, and his face darkened: "You know my identity, and my father will never let go. If you camp here to rest, you must be far away from the Luliang Mountain military camp. If you rush to Luliang In front of the mountain, when my rescuer arrives, you will know what will happen to you. If you let me go now, you can still escape back..."

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly: "You'd better hope that the pursuers can't catch up. If I can't take you away, I will definitely kill you first."

"you……"

…

Under the bright moonlight, Ning Qingye was wrapped in a blanket and stood beside Xu Buling. Two grown men stopped and chatted. After waiting for a long time, seeing that there was no end, he raised his hand and knocked Jiang Kai on the head with the hilt of his sword.

Jiang Kai, who was about to continue to intimidate and induce, shook his head a few times and then fell limply on the horse again.

Xu Buling was stunned and turned his head: "Qingye, what are you doing?"

Ning Qingye put away her sword, tightened the blanket around her body, and said in a calm tone, "Why are you talking so much to a guy like this? He will die early if he talks too much."

?

Xu Buling frowned and thought for a moment, then he seemed to have this idea and chuckled: "This is the first time we meet, let's just talk more."

"You tied her up when we first met?"

"Didn't you tie me up when we first met?"

"..."

Ning Qingye was speechless, hummed softly, and returned to the tree. She spread out the blanket and looked like she was waiting for Xu Buling to lean in and continue chatting.

Xu Bu Ling understood that the prince could not have fun with girls. He ignored Jiang Kai and walked towards Qing Ye. But without Jiang Kai's noise, the mountains and fields became quiet. Suddenly, there was a soft rustle in the distance, like a snake crawling across the grass. It was very subtle, but also very abrupt in the quiet snowy night.

Xu Buling's expression changed, and without hesitation, he pulled Ning Qingye up and climbed onto the horse chasing the wind.

Although Ning Qingye didn't see any movement, he reacted very quickly. Knowing that the pursuers were coming, he jumped on his white horse and continued to run westward with Xu Buling.

Also at this moment, in the snow forest on the side of the mountain, there was a sharp sound of "swishing", and an iron arrow shot through the air. The pursuers, who were obviously coming over, noticed that Xu Buling was escaping and took action directly.

The jet-black feathered arrow flew past under the moonlight at an incredible speed. Ning Qingye was already approaching before he could see clearly, and Qingquan's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

But this arrow was definitely aimed at Xu Buling. Ning Qingye didn't even have time to shout "be careful" and his sword was only half unsheathed.

Xu Buling was already on guard when he heard the noise. He raised his hand and chopped at the source of the sound, but he never thought that the arrow was so powerful that it knocked his single sword off the hand.

Ding——

The fine iron feather arrow rubbed sparks on the blade and changed its direction slightly. It almost brushed past Xu Buling's cheek and poured into the big pine tree next to it. Even with the single sword blocking it, it still shot through the trunk.

Such a strong force, not only Ning Qingye, but also Xu Buling was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

Xu Buling had been in the army since he was a child, and he had a deep understanding of bows and crossbows. This kind of power is definitely not shot by an ordinary three-stone hard bow, and even a five-stone bow does not have such a strong force.

One stone weighs 120 kilograms. It is not enough to just draw the bow. You have to shoot through the willow tree at a hundred steps to be considered a master archer.

In the contemporary army, those who can use a three-stone bow are already top archers, and those who can use a five-stone bow are one in a million. Among the four generals of the Western Liang Army, only Tu Qianchu can use a five-stone bow.

And the archers above him are even rarer than the contemporary Wu Kuang. Under the command of the Right Prince of Northern Qi, there is a fierce general named "God Arrow Yang Kuan", who can use a seven-stone bow. He once had a clear record of shooting and killing the general of Dayue from a mile away. He became famous with one arrow, and his reputation was so great that even everyone in the Western Liang Army knew about it.

The power of the seven-stone bow is greater than the "God Arm Crossbow" used by two people. There are almost no people who can use this thing on Dayue, and there is only one Yang Kuan on the Northern Qi side. Among the contemporary Wu Kuang, there may be a few who can pull the seven-stone bow, but pulling it and being able to shoot after pulling it are two different things. Yang Kuan is famous for shooting arrows from the seven-stone bow at a distance of half a mile. This gifted eyesight alone is more terrifying than the Wu Kuang.

Xu Buling grew up in the army, and his archery skills were not bad, he could draw a seven-stone bow and shoot, but the bow was not in his hand now.

Yang Kuan shot from half a mile away, and ordinary iron armor could not stop him. Xu Buling was killed by an arrow. Even if Xu Buling used all his strength, he could not hit Yang Kuan who was half a mile away.

With a huge difference in attack distance, Xu Buling quickly rode his horse into the dense forest and said in a hurry: "It's the magic arrow Yang Kuan, go ahead of me."

Ning Qingye saw the power of the iron arrow and understood how powerful the opponent was. She would definitely not be able to stop it, so she did not dare to show off. She quickly pulled Jiang Kai's horse and ran to the front to lead the way.

Xu Buling rode the chasing wind horse backwards, sat upside down, and stared at the forest behind with a single knife in hand.

The opponents chasing after them were obviously not ordinary cavalry. There were only three of them. In addition to the first archer Yang Kuan, there were three others who showed up under the moonlight. One of them was as light as a swallow with a scimitar in his hand, and the other was strong and carried a big spear. He was a little slower, but he was definitely not an ordinary person. He ran through the mountains as if it were flat ground.

It is true that the wind-chasing horse ran fast, but that was on the flat plain. It was not easy to find the road in the rugged mountains and forests. The large size affected its flexibility, so it was definitely not as fast as the two martial arts masters who were sprinting at full speed.

Ning Qingye drew his long sword and glanced back. Seeing that the pursuers were moving very fast, he said anxiously:

"Xu Buling, the road is not easy to walk on and we can't get rid of it. What should we do?"

As he spoke, another arrow came, shooting at the brown wind-chasing horse carrying Jiang Kai.

Xu Buling chopped the arrow shaft with all his strength, and the iron arrow deviated from its direction and nailed into the ground, drilling directly into the ground, and even the arrow feathers were buried in the soil.

The terrain was not good, and there were archers waiting in the dark. Chen Daozi was a lesson for the others.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Buling jumped off his horse immediately: "You find cover, pay attention to the bow and arrow, and leave the rest to me." Then he rushed towards the two pursuers.

Ning Qingye did not hesitate, jumped off the horse with the sword in hand, and under the cover of Xu Buling, he pulled the two horses to hide behind the depression of the mountain...
