Chapter 45: Chase into the city
On the official road not far from Zhongqing City, a sudden sound of rapid horse hooves sounded.
Although the White Feather Army, which had a solemn appearance and was extremely conspicuous in armor, is now in a very embarrassing situation.
Many knights, even the helmets, were bare. The two bundles of white bird feathers that symbolized the White Feather Army fell down at any time.
Although Wang Xiao was not injured, he was covered in dirty clothes. He was lying on the horse and endured the bumps of the galloping horses under his command.
The five or six worship masters guarded by him had suffered heavy casualties, and the only three remaining masters were also covered in scars.
"Taishi, Zhongqing City is ahead." The priest beside him pointed at the walls of Zhongqing City that were revealed in the distance and said in surprise.
Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and turned his head to look behind him.
At the back, a middle-aged man was running with a long sword in his hand, running with his legs, and his figure was almost as strong as a galloping horse. He just bit Wang Xiao and his group tightly.
The middle-aged man waved the long sword in his hand from time to time, and the sword light flashed by. In a flash, he took away the two white feathered knights falling behind him.
Along the way, the middle-aged man who used a sword chased everyone, causing heavy casualties and great embarrassment under Wang Xiao.
This swordsman could be seen as an eighth-level master when he took action. But there were three eighth-level masters around Wang Xiao, two seventh-level masters guarding him, and hundreds of white feather troops around him, so he shouldn't have been so embarrassed.
The reason why he was forced to this point was because the middle-aged swordsman's unique body skills and tenacity were extremely terrifying.
In the world, there are thousands of swordsmanship, some people have powerful swords, gathering the power of heaven and earth. Some people have light swordsmanship, as fast as thunder. But the middle-aged swordsman who is eyeing Wang Xiao, his swordsmanship is only one word left, "rough".
Man-made by flesh and blood, there will be times when there is a slackness, but this middle-aged swordsman is like a fine iron, extremely tough and exhausted.
Since Wang Xiao escaped from the trap, this person has been chasing Wang Xiao and his group for four days and three nights. Anyone who has revealed any flaws in the group will be a flash of sword light and his life will be lost.
Wang Xiao wanted to catch him, but this person had a very fast sword technique. He fled far away if he didn't hit the attack, but he couldn't catch him at all. He ran away. He was extremely unique in his body technique. He was good at long-distance raids. He ran for several days and could not get rid of him.
In this way, Wang Xiao had tossed for four days and three nights, and two of the five guards around him were damaged, and all the remaining masters were injured. The remaining Baiyu Army now has less than fifty cavalry left.
Perhaps it was this middle-aged swordsman who knew that Wang Xiao had entered Zhongqing City, so he could not kill Wang Xiao anymore. He couldn't help but get faster. He waved the long sword in his hand, bursting out a more dazzling sword light, and he fought hard to kill Wang Xiao.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao glared at his eyes and showed fear.
Seeing this, the three worshippers beside him looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said:
"Tashi Tai left first, we will stop the rear!"
Wang Xiao looked at the three priests beside him, and saw that all three of them were showing signs of death, and felt a lot of pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and said:
"You and your family will each give you 500 gold, and you will be supported by the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the future. All your descendants will be granted the title of Langguan and enter the Grand Tutor's Mansion to walk!"
Wang Xiao treated his subordinates very well. With his promise, he had no worries. The three worshippers immediately tied their horses and turned to face the middle-aged swordsman.
The middle-aged swordsman moved the sword in his hand and killed the Bai Yujun who was at the end. Looking at Wang Xiao who was leaving and the three worshippers who left behind, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"All good men, I'll give you some fun!" The middle-aged man opened his dry lips with a slight praise in his words.
One of the worshipers was unwilling to lose, so he snorted coldly and said:
"I chased me for four days and three nights without eating or drinking, and I was injured. It depends on how long you can last!"
The middle-aged swordsman was actually injured. The most serious thing was that a knife in the chest directly broke through the flesh and blood on his chest, which was deep and bone-like.
After all, middle-aged swordsman has not entered for several days and nights, and has faced more than a hundred elite cavalry and five masters, so how could he be unscathed?
"You can try it!" As soon as the middle-aged swordsman finished speaking, the sword light in his hand burst out again.
The extremely fast sword, combined with his body movement, turned into a bolt of lightning and headed straight towards the three of them.
The three priests of the Grand Tutor's Mansion gritted their teeth and did not hold back. They each showed their trump cards when they came up. The palm wind was fierce, the spear flew, and the two swords were released at the same time. Several powerful internal forces attacked the middle-aged swordsman in an instant.
In fact, after fighting in the past few days, the three masters of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were very clear about the strength of the middle-aged man.
The swordsmanship is fast, but not strong, and the body is extremely fast, but he is not good at dodging. Apart from the terrifying perseverance and resilience, it is nothing more than being able to endure them to death.
As long as the three of them took all their strength at this time, they would definitely be able to hold him back, and even delay him with all their strength due to damage in the meridians. It would be impossible to delay Wang Xiao and send someone to help.
But as soon as the three of them took action, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
I saw the middle-aged man, who had no dodge or dodge, and his long sword was pointed out, and his sword light was scattered. He was fighting for the possibility of serious injury and rushed towards him with the moves of the three of them.
When the three of them were stunned, the middle-aged man looked like a bull rushing, and directly broke through the three of them and attacked together. Then he stretched out his body and passed through the three of them, quickly chasing Wang Xiao in the distance.
"Not good!" The three of them shouted together and rushed towards the middle-aged man regardless of their own life.
At this time, the three of them realized that the middle-aged man was not their target at all. From the beginning to the end, he came for Wang Xiao.
The middle-aged man had a quick body movement and chased Wang Xiao.
At this time, Wang Xiao subconsciously turned his head and looked at him. He happened to see the middle-aged man giving up three worshippers and chasing him again. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
Seeing the city wall in front of him, Wang Xiao immediately shouted:
"Hurry, open the city gate!"
The remaining Baiyujun immediately shouted in unison and said:
"The Grand Master returns to the court, open the city gate quickly! Open the city gate quickly!"
On the city wall, the soldiers of the city defense army stationed were shocked when they heard this.
"The Grand Tutor returns to the court? Is it true or false?" A city defense officer hurriedly looked out of the city.
Relying on the moonlight, the captain clearly saw the dozens of people outside the city, who were extremely embarrassed, as if they were being chased by someone, and couldn't help but frown:
"Who is so brave to pretend to be a Grand Tutor..."
Before he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly came towards him.
Without waiting for the captain to react, the strong wind blew past his ears and heard a "knock" behind him.
He turned his head in shock and saw a jade token engraved with the word "Wang", which had been engraved on the city wall behind him.
"Hurry! Open the city gate quickly, it's the Grand Tutor who has returned to the capital!" The captain said in a panic.
With a "slam", the locked tall city gate opened instantly. Wang Xiao and his group did not dare to stop and immediately rode their horses into the city.
The next moment, a figure followed closely and flashed into the city.
This middle-aged man dared to chase him into the city!
The veins on Wang Xiao's hand swelled up and he shouted at the personal soldiers beside him:
"This person's target is me. You can leave quickly and use my command to mobilize the army in the city to round up this person!"
Chapter completed!
