Chapter 138 Red Blood Covers Zhou Army (1/2)

Li Yan stayed on the hillside and waited for nearly two and a half hours, from day to night.

During this period, a total of twenty-three people passed by the official road. From a distance of dozens of feet, Li Yan could clearly see the faces of these people and combined them with the looks of the eleven people in his mind.

No one is right.

During this process, the group of people hiding in the woods did not jump out.

This made Li Yan feel more and more that these people's goals were the same as his own.

The moon is pretty good today, almost full.

The moonlight shines on the thick snow, reflecting patches of white light, causing the brightness at night not to be much worse than during the day.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves.

"That should be the case. Generally speaking, few people travel at night in winter."

Li Yanmao was on the hillside, looking towards the official road through the thick snow-covered bushes.

The first thing that came into view was a horse, a tall horse with a single horn and covered in scales.

"It turned out to be a scaly wildebeest. It seems to be the target."

Li Yan was delighted.

It’s not easy. Finally, we have reached our goal.

Li Yan didn't just wait here with nothing to do during these two and a half hours.

The avatar of the Jin family has been inquiring about this envoy group. One of the messages said that all the twelve envoys of the envoy group came riding [scaled horned horses].

[Scale Hippogriff] is a cross between the alien beast [One-horned Horse] and the alien beast [Linjia Horse].

This results in the [Scaled Wildebeest] not only having the explosive power and aggressiveness of the [One-horned Horse], but also inheriting the endurance and defense of the [Linjia Horse].

It is the most comprehensively developed among the three kinds of exotic horses domesticated by humans in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

However, it is precisely because of its comprehensiveness that the abilities of [Squay Wildebeest] are only about twice that of ordinary BMWs.

As for the other two kinds of exotic horses, although they only inherited a single ability from one of their parents, their abilities were three to five times that of ordinary horses.

Many times, being stronger is victory, let alone being several times stronger.

As a result, the prices of the other two types of horses were skyrocketed, while the price of the [Scaleed Wildebeest] has remained stable.

Of course, stable prices do not mean cheap prices.

The price of an ordinary BMW is generally around 500 to 1,000 taels of silver, while the price of the [Square Wildebeest] starts at 5,000 taels, which is still priceless.

At least, in Linjiang City, only the five major families raised a few [Scaleed Wildebeests].

Then, the face of the man on horseback was revealed. He was one of the twelve members of the envoy group.

The target was determined, but Li Yan was not in a hurry to take action.

There is a group of people hiding in the dark. If their goals do not coincide with Li Yan's, Li Yan will take action.

Facts have proved that Li Yan's initial intuition was correct, and the group's goal was indeed the same as his.

When the [Scaleed Wildebeest] passed by the grove where the group was hiding, an arrow flew out, and the tip of the arrow was pointed directly at the [Scaled Wildebeest] horse body.

The man on the horse was still very alert. After hearing the whistle of the arrow, he realized that he was being attacked.

So, relying on his feeling, he slashed with his knife.

Although he reacted quickly, he only hit the arrow's body, and the arrowhead part still hit the horse's body.

"Hey~", the fierce horse neighed. The moment the [Scaleed Wildebeest] was hit by the arrow, it lost control of its balance and fell to the ground hard.

It slid on the muddy ground for more than ten feet before stopping.

As for the man on horseback, the moment [Scaleed Wildebeest] fell to the ground, he patted the horse's back and landed safely.

"What kind of rat is this? He intercepted and killed him on the official road."

"I am an envoy from the imperial court, coming from the Royal City to collect taxes from Linshan City. If you intercept the wrong person, leave quickly before I see you."

"Otherwise, if you dare to hurt me even a hair, not only will the Zhou Dynasty court not let you go, but even Linjiang County's uncle will immediately lead an army to kill you."

As soon as this person landed on the ground, he spoke a lot of words like a machine gun.

He sensed the fluctuation of Qi and blood from the arrow just now.

Qi and blood leave the body and adhere to the objects. This is an ability only possessed by the Yunzang state.

If there was only one Yunzang realm, he could easily deal with it based on his strength, but if there were more, he wouldn't be able to parry it.

And the reason why he said this was because he was afraid that someone would intercept the wrong person. Such things happened from time to time.

Unfortunately, his words were obviously in vain, and it was him who was intercepted and killed.

"The ones we killed were you, the lackeys of the imperial court."

A group of five people quickly jumped out of the woods and surrounded the man.

Li Yan did not look directly at them on the hillside, but looked at the five people with his peripheral vision.

Four men and one woman, one wields a bow, two wield knives, one wields a sword, and the last woman wields a steel whip.

"You are the ones who overthrow the Zhou army with red blood."

When he saw the same bloody mark branded on the five people, his expression suddenly changed.

"Yes, we are here to overthrow the Zhou army with blood, specifically to overthrow your decadent court."

The man with the sword was obviously the leader of the five, and he was the only one who spoke the whole time.

"You, the children of our family, have been lying on our bodies and sucking our blood for more than a thousand years. It's time for you to taste the taste of blood."

Then, he said no more and waved his right hand, and the other four people quickly took their positions.

The one who used the sword went forward to entangle, the one who used the whip supported from the side, and the one who used the bow aimed from a distance, which brought great mental pressure to the messenger.

As their leader, the one who used the sword was in the position of holding the line.

If the messenger broke through the blockade of the two people who used the sword, he would press forward and continue to push the messenger back into the blockade and entanglement of the two.

As soon as he started, Li Yan found that these six people were all warriors in the Yunzang realm.

Among them, the messenger had blood and qi like a dragon. It can only be said that he was worthy of coming from the royal city. Any one of them could have the blood and qi of blood like a dragon.

The one who used the sword had blood and qi like a pillar, and the other four had blood and qi like a wolf smoke.

In the end, in less than ten moves, with the tacit cooperation of the five people, the messenger was captured alive.

In order to prevent the messenger from running away, the one who used the sword directly took the woman's steel whip and hit the messenger's legs twice.

After a series of "clicks", there was the deafening scream of the messenger.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary scream. When someone screams, they will deliberately integrate qi and blood to expand the range of sound.

This is clearly a gamble, a gamble on whether there are kind people around who can help.

The five people of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army naturally noticed the abnormality at the first time, and hurriedly cut off the messenger's clothes and blocked his mouth tightly.

Then, they broke the messenger's hands so that he could not take out the rag in his mouth.

"Take the person away. The leader said that he will only wait for us for one night. If we don't go back before dawn, we will leave Linjiang County directly."

The man with the sword said, and just wanted to command someone to carry the messenger on his back, but suddenly saw a look of surprise in the messenger's eyes.

"Not good."

At this time, a series of air-breaking sounds just reached his ears.

"Enemy attack."

As the man with the sword screamed, the others reacted immediately, and the fastest reaction was naturally the archer.

Without even looking, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, which accurately hit Li Yan, who was already within ten feet of the six people.

When the arrow hit, five people were ecstatic and one was upset.

But soon, the eyes of the six people became the same, full of confusion and fear.

Because the body of the newcomer was pierced with a big hole, he continued to attack and kill as if nothing had happened.

In a battle between masters, one mistake means death. Because they had previously determined that Li Yan would definitely not survive, the blood and qi that they subconsciously circulated subconsciously dispersed.

This caused Li Yan to cross a distance of ten feet in an instant, and when he came in front of them, no one was ready to fight.

So, Li Yan easily got two kills, first the archer, and then the woman with the whip.

At this time, the other three finally circulated their blood and qi, and rushed towards Li Yan with bloodshot eyes.

Li Yan directly fought with them, you cut me, I cut you.

After three moves, the two swordsmen died, but Li Yan spared the life of the swordsman.

After cutting the swordsman's tendons, he knocked him unconscious with a drug.

Li Yan came to the messenger and took out the rag from his mouth in the other's horrified eyes.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

The moment the rag was taken out, the messenger couldn't help asking his own question.

In fact, Li Yan was a bit miserable at this time.

Not only was there a big hole in his chest, and seven or eight small holes, but there was also a wound on his neck, tearing half of his neck.

"Of course I am a ghost."

Li Yan showed a weird smile, and then the wound began to recover, and the black material intertwined and repaired the wound bit by bit.

Then, his figure and face began to deform, and finally became the appearance of the messenger.

"I am you too."

Looking at the other party's body that was constantly repairing, as well as the familiar face and familiar voice, the messenger's spirit collapsed.

Taking this opportunity, Li Yan stuffed the [Truth-Speaking Pill] into his mouth, a precious pill that Li Yan found in the Jin family.

This pill can make any post-natal warrior tell the truth.

But there is a prerequisite, which is to make the other party's spirit collapse.

The Jin family used torture methods, while Li Yan used intimidation methods.

"Tell me, your name, where you are from, and what is your identity."

Seeing that the drug had taken effect, Li Yan asked hurriedly.

"My name is Su Han, from a third-rate family in the King City of Da Zhou, and a member of the side branch of the family."

Su Han said with empty eyes.

"Hiss", Li Yan felt a little bit of toothache, a side branch of a third-rate family in the King City, who looked like he was just in his early 20s, actually had the strength of the Yunzang realm.

Then, Li Yan asked for nearly half an hour in a row, until he asked about Su Han's childhood when he wet his pants, and then he gave him a quick death.

"I didn't expect that the top strength of the Great Zhou is so terrifying."

After learning about the strength of the higher level, Li Yan's mentality, which was originally a little inflated, became cautious again.

From Su Han, Li Yan learned that Wangcheng is very large. Compared with Linjiang City, Wangcheng can be as large as dozens of Linjiang City.

There are tens of millions of people living in Wangcheng, and the daily food and drinking water required are astronomical figures.

As the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Wangcheng gathers nearly half of the martial arts talents and resources of the Great Zhou.

Naturally, the strength of the warriors here is much higher than that of other places, and the forces are as numerous as stars.

The forces in Wangcheng are divided into second-rate, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate and Ji family.

Su Han was not very clear about the specific division. He only knew that the forces with a warrior in the Condensed Evil Realm were the second-rate forces in the royal city.

And their Su family was the third-rate force in the royal city, and the family openly had twelve innate warriors.

Then, Li Yan followed suit and did the same thing to the man with the sword.

From him, Li Yan roughly knew the origin and composition of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army.

The Red Blood Fu Zhou Army was originally the Red Blood Army of the Great Zhou. The Red Blood Army was stationed on the border between the Great Zhou and Dayue all year round to defend the Great Zhou against the invasion of Dayue.

However, ten years ago, the Great Zhou used the Red Blood Army as bait to lure an army of Dayue into a trap that had been set up long ago, and wiped out the Dayue army.

If it was just like this, the Red Blood Army would not betray the Great Zhou. After all, when they go to the battlefield, they must be prepared for death.

Although the Red Blood Army suffered heavy losses, it also destroyed the entire army of the other side. Many of the surviving Red Blood Army even thought that their dead companions were worth dying for.

However, the subsequent developments were beyond the expectations of all the Red Blood Army.

Not only did they not have any military merits, they were also slandered as being defeated by Dayue and retreating. All the military merits were taken by the then commander, a direct descendant of the Ji family.

In other words, after the Red Blood Army won such a victory, they had to be collectively punished in the end.

So, the Red Blood Army rebelled against the Great Zhou and changed its name to the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army.

Afterwards, they took advantage of the time when other armies were celebrating their great victory and caught them off guard.

The Red Blood Army commander directly beheaded the direct descendant of the Ji family who took all the credit.

Now the head of the direct descendant of the Ji family is still at the headquarters of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army.

This military mutiny attracted the attention of Dayue, and Dayue took the opportunity to send troops.

The three armies of the Great Zhou were directly dispersed, and the situation was finally maintained until the Great Zhou reinforced five armies.

However, the nearly one-fifth of the territory occupied by Dayue was not taken back.

Finally, after knowing the whole story, the King of Zhou only reprimanded the direct descendants of the Ji family, and even buried the direct descendants of the Ji family in the tomb of the Great Zhou King.

As for the Chixue Fuzhou Army that had already rebelled, they were hunted down to the end and all the soldiers and the three clans of the generals were exterminated.

So far, the Chixue Fuzhou Army has forged a blood feud with the Great Zhou.
