Zhao Chen and his party resumed their journey, and they walked for about half an hour. It was already high in the sky, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Everyone was sweating, even the war horses under them were sweating profusely.
"General, let's take a break? Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. We can hold on, but I'm worried that our horses won't be able to hold on."
A middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance, who is also the deputy captain of the tiger guard, came to Zhao Chen and told him that he hoped to take a rest.
Zhao Chen looked up at the sun hanging high in the air, and then looked back at the guards behind him.
I saw that they were all sweating profusely, and so were the war horses, still panting heavily, looking very miserable.
"Okay, order the whole team to rest in the shade ahead, replenish water, and wait for the sun to weaken slightly before setting off."
Seeing everyone's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Chen had no choice but to order the whole team to rest.
Following his order, all the guards showed joyful expressions, followed Zhao Chen to a shaded place covered by many big trees, got off their horses, tied the horses aside, and then all formed a circle and sat down. Rest on the ground.
They first gave their war horses some water to drink, and then took out some horse food from the dry food bag to give them to take care of these companions, and then they drank water by themselves.
Zhao Chen himself picked up the water bag and drank it for the sake of his Huang Puma.
Zhao Chen drank several sips in a row, only then did he suddenly realize why the road was so quiet, there were not even half a pedestrian on the road. Very weird.
You must know that before this they saw a lot of people walking around and hawking, but now this situation
Zhao Chen's eyes froze immediately. He knew that there was only one possibility for this situation. Someone deliberately evacuated the people in advance, deliberately creating such a quiet and deserted environment.
A bright light flashed in Zhao Chen's eyes, there must be someone ambushing here or have some ulterior purpose, and their target is likely to be their group.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen's hand holding the water bag not only shook, but quickly returned to its original state, and he pretended to be nonchalant, continuing to drink the water in the water bag.
However, secretly, he raised all his spirits, released his martial arts will mixed with mental power, and carefully explored the surroundings. While pretending to be unaware, he used his mental power and keen hearing to investigate.
He emptied his whole body and entered a state of nothingness without self and others, in which he could clearly see all the movements of hundreds of meters nearby.
Soon he discovered that in a dense grass tens of meters away from the big tree against which he was leaning, there were more than a dozen enemies in black clothes and armor, armed with weapons and crossbows. Slowing down the heartbeat, the whole person is as non-existent as a stone, and one can tell at a glance that they are well-trained and real assassins.
Zhao Chen continued to investigate mentally, calmly, and kept his mind clear. He didn't believe that there were only a handful of these enemies, and there must be more. Zhao Chen and his party were elite soldiers who had just survived the battlefield. Zhao Chen is such a fierce general on the battlefield, how could there be only these people?
Sure enough, after Zhao Chen's careful investigation, there were more than 20 enemies with the same makeup hiding in a very hidden place in the woods behind them.
Not only that, there are at least 20 people hidden in front of them and on the right side, and Zhao Chen also found that what they are holding are all heavy crossbows in the Qin army that can be used to penetrate the true qi shield of ordinary masters. The arrow is also shining with a faint cold light, they are still quenching poison on it, obviously wanting to put them to death.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but think of the assassination that took place in the barracks a year and a half ago. The enemy was also dressed in the same way, and even the weapons they used were similar, so similar to today.
The vigilance in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, these can already pose a huge threat to them, and Zhao Chen is still worried that after the previous assassinations, they still have a backhand, this unknown feeling makes him very feel disgusted.
He not only withdrew from the state of sophistication, but also kept thinking of countermeasures in secret.
This is a personal guard coming over with a few meat membranes: "General, let's eat some of these dry rations to supplement physical exertion."
"Well, by the way, there are quite a lot of bugs here, some of them are poisonous, you should pay more attention, it is best to shoot them to death with something. I have encountered such a thing before, you must pay more attention, and return later. Come and concentrate."
Zhao Chen found out that the thing in his hand had been pointed out. Zhao Chen kept pointing his eyes, and the guard also understood what the code word he said was.Seeing their pale faces and purple lips, he pressed directly on their injured places, and the true energy poured in to force the poisonous arrows out.
Then he pointed like a knife and scratched his wound, a stream of thick black pantothenic acid poisonous blood began to flow out continuously. Finally, Zhao Chen pressed a palm on his back, his true energy moved as he wanted, In the body, it kept circulating, and you could see that the wound that was originally bleeding black gradually turned red, and finally returned to a bright red color.
It turned out that Zhao Chen was using his deep and pure innate qi to remove the toxins in his body and heal his injuries.
Soon as Zhao Chen's true energy continued to circulate, the bodyguard's complexion slowly returned to rosy, and his lips also returned to their original flesh color.
After Zhao Chen finished all this, he took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from his chest and sprinkled it on the wound.
Now let him bandage himself.
Immediately afterwards, he healed another guard soldier who was seriously injured in this way.
And let them rest on the sidelines, and called back a few guards who were fighting the enemy non-stop to guard, he himself went on the field, with the halberd in his hand with a heavy force like Mount Tai, non-stop Sweeping across the ground, as soon as he touched the enemy, he directly smashed their breastbone and died on the spot.
His long halberd in his hand is as heavy as a mountain, his sweep is as powerful as a galloping horse, and his stab is as swift and fierce as a dragon going out to sea. Directly killed more than a dozen powerful assassins on the spot.
"Retreat!" The leader repelled the attack of more than a dozen personal guards, and quickly gave the order to retreat.
All the remaining dozen or so black-clothed assassins quickly moved towards him, and kept retreating towards the deep forest ahead.
"Aren't you going out yet? Don't forget the agreement between your master and my lord!"
The leader was still panting and shouting towards the deep forest in the distance while retreating.
"Hahaha! It turns out that you are also afraid sometimes! I didn't expect you to be so useless! You should step aside obediently and see how we deal with these people!" A vigorous laugh came out of the deep forest. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
