On the 20th day of the 71st year of the Dagan Kangyuan period, at the hour of You, Shaanxi East Road, Xichuan Prefecture, and Xixiakou.

The imperial envoy of King Li Zhen of Wei braved the cold and headed northwest for another five days. He had already arrived in Xichuan Prefecture, Dongshan, and rushed forward for about a day to return to Chang'an.

Since King Li Zhen of Wei set out from Chang'an on December 23 last year and went south to raise grain, he has been traveling back and forth for nearly a month. At this time, the personal soldiers of the imperial guards, when they thought that they could only live another day, they could return to Chang'an to reunite with their relatives at home, they were extremely happy. Therefore, although there were snowflakes floating in the sky and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, they all took a breath and rushed to the road, hoping to return to the capital earlier.

At this moment, the King of Wei's convoy had already reached the Xixiakou, twenty miles southeast of Xichuan City. This is a canyon with steep mountains on both sides. The canyon is deep and long, and the road is winding and twists and turns. Xue Tao looked around and saw the mountains and narrow roads. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, he was also a veteran who had served on the border for many years. Knowing this terrain, if there was a strong ambush, he would be trapped in a narrow road and was in a dilemma, and he would be unable to deal with it.

While fighting the horse, Xue Tao kept going back and forth between the front and rear of the convoy, he loudly reminded all the soldiers to deal with it carefully. If a strong man attacked, he must protect the imperial envoy, King Wei.

At this time, the north wind was as sharp as a knife, mixed with ice and snow slamming everyone's face. The snow was getting stronger and stronger, and it was covered in all directions. The sky and the earth were already white. The towering peaks on both sides seemed to be covered with a layer of silver felt, and the eyes were covered with white white. All the rocks, grass and trees had long been covered with snow. The birds in the valley were flying in the whole valley and the crows were still impatient. Occasionally, the sounds of clattering from both sides of the mountain road were also the same. Large scattered snow on some pine and cypress trees fell. This narrow mountain road in the canyon was also filled with thick snow. The convoy passed by this white snow, leaving behind several long ruts, as well as horseshoe prints and footprints of varying depths. Between the sky and earth, the snow was flying cold wind howled. At this moment, it seemed that only from these ruts and footprints could you see that in this snowy mountain road, there were still people walking forward with difficulty.

The hour of You is about to end, the sky is already dark, how many people have already eaten supper and hid in their warm beds early. How many people just look through the gaps in the curtains and look at the endless heavy snow, and they can already feel the coldness of the wind and snow in their hearts. How many people can think of there being a team of people at this time, marching forward in the wind and snow

Although the wind and snow are strong and the road is difficult, you still have to walk the road you should take, and you can pass the difficult road!

As long as you have dreams in your heart and beliefs in your heart, what does this hardship count as?!

Only after experiencing the wind and snow can the rainbow on the sky be more dazzling! Only after a difficult journey can the broad road be even more gratifying!

Seeing that it was less than half a mile away, Xue Tao rode his horse to Xu Ke and shouted loudly: Brother Wujian, this mountain road looks dangerous and tight, we brothers have to pay attention!

Xu Ke responded. At this time, he saw that Xue Tao's eyebrows and beard were covered with snowflakes, and his whole body was like a snowman. Suddenly he felt funny and said:

Brother Xue, you now look like an old man with white beard, but it looks like my book fairy at home.

Xue Tao smiled and said: Brother, don’t look at yourself, what else is not white on your body? I see that you, a white household in blue, has become a "white household"!

Xu Ke saw that the entire imperial envoy's convoy, from the carriage to the people, was covered with snowflakes. Although he was not cold, he saw the dozens of personal soldiers around him, his teeth were trembling and his whole body was so cold that he still tried hard to support and move forward.

Be careful! Xue Tao shouted loudly, waved his spear forward and knocked down a crow feather arrow. But then, more than ten feather arrows shot from the hillsides on both sides.

There is an ambush! Hurry! The sword and shield hand, protect the imperial envoy! Xue Tao shouted loudly and ordered, and immediately twenty sword and shield soldiers held shields and formed a shield square formation, protecting the carriages that the King of Wei was riding from both sides.

The arrow branches continued to shoot from both sides. Fortunately, the King of Wei's carriage was protected by the large shields of the imperial guards. The arrows shot on the steel shields and made a tingling sound. All of them fell. The King of Wei sat in the carriage, but fortunately they were not injured. There were obviously few crossbowmen ambushing the mountain road. Seeing that all the soldiers surrounded the King of Wei, they fired arrows and shot at the King of Wei's carriage. The spare carriage that Zhao Yu was riding in behind was not paid attention to.

Brothers without illness, the thief is in the dark, I am in the bright, we can't be beaten like this! Here is a big brother who protects you to cook the archers! Xue Tao shouted loudly to Xu Ke while dancing his spear and blocking the flying arrows.

Xu Ke understood it, and immediately responded, and urged the yellow horse under his crotch to run to the front of his left. Unexpectedly, before he could reach the edge of the rock, he heard a few whistles, and immediately a few feather arrows flew towards him. Xu Ke hurriedly waved his sword and knocked down the arrow branches in front of him, but two feather arrows shot into the horse's neck and forelimbs. The yellow horse cried out with a smirk and fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he was already dead. Black blood gushed out of the horse's neck. Obviously, there was a very poisonous slaughter on the arrow cluster.

Xu Ke leaped, and his thin figure rose up like a giant eagle. The man drew his sword in the air and waved it, shouting a loud golden force! The true energy poured into his right arm, and a Kunwu sword raised a gust of wind, piercing in all directions through the flying snow in the sky.

There were eight crossbowmen ambushing the hillside on the left, all of whom were firing arrows in succession toward the imperial envoy. When they saw Xu Ke coming in their direction, one of the leaders ordered the four crossbowmen on the left to aim at Xu Ke to shoot arrows. These people were obviously all from sharpshooters, and they were equipped with a hard crossbow long bow specially used in the Daqian Army. So after shooting a few arrows, they shot the yellow horse that Xu Ke sat down to the ground. At this time, seeing Xu Ke descending like a giant eagle spreading its wings, they quickly stood up and shot in the air with a hard crossbow.

However, before Xu Ke arrived, the sword energy had arrived. Although the sword technique taught by Yu Lu Weng only had five moves, the sword energy was so sharp! The gold-breaking power was about the word "break", and the sword energy pointed to by the sword energy, and it was broken through the gold and iron, and everything was broken through! Before the four crossbowmen could shoot arrows, they felt a pain in their chests, and the sword energy had passed through the big point of the four people's Danzhong acupoint. Before these four crossbowmen could react, they all fell to the ground and died in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Xu Ke's sword moves sharply, the other four people killed four crossbowmen in a row with just one sword move. They didn't dare to be negligent at this moment. Two crossbowmen shot crossbows at Xu Ke, and one crossbowman pulled out his waist knife from his waist. The leader of the eight people immediately threw the long bow in his hand, and took out a pair of short iron sticks. When Xu Ke fell to the ground, he took his legs straight.

The water cutoff moment! Xu Ke ignored the movements of the four people. He felt that the true energy was pouring into the Kunwu sword, as abundant as heavy rain, and as surging waves. After one momentum, it was naturally the second momentum. The water cutoff moment took a word "break" and the end was fast. Go and try it as fast as lightning. In the snow, a white light flashed suddenly, and the two crossbowmen's bodies were broken into two pieces. The person who drew the sword was even more miserable. One head was slashed into two pieces and rolled to the ground.

The Kunwu sword given by the emperor was extremely sharp, and the Hunyuan sword given by the Yulu Weng had a sharp sword energy. Xu Ke only felt that wherever his sword was, whether it was the human body and bones or the bows, swords and sticks in their hands, were all like broken flowers and leaves, and could be broken!

In the heavy snow, everything has not changed on the white and silver ground, but there are seven corpses lying in the snow, three of which are already incomplete. Wherever Xu Ke's sword energy draws, there are seven blood stains like seven straight lines, which are displayed in the snow in different directions.

It won't take long to see these bright red blood stains be buried in this ruthless heavy snow.
Chapter completed!
