Chapter 255 General... I wish you a successful start
When Chu Xi saw the guard's smile, he instantly realized that he might have fallen into a trap.
However, the personal guards were willing to risk their own lives to lure Chu Xi into the game, so they would naturally not let her escape easily.
She was indeed a leader in martial arts among her peers, but when facing her personal guards, she had to hold her waist with both hands, causing injuries that could have been healed.
The long sword had only penetrated shallowly, no more than three points at most.
With this move, the sword completely pierced through the guard's body, with some space left.
"General...I wish you a successful start and a triumphant return."
Even without him watching, he hoped the general would still get what he wanted.
Whether the Qi family is from the main branch or the side branch, this generation has only one belief.
That's a comeback!
Let the people of Western Chu and the officials of the imperial court remember the Qi family again.
Remember the glory that the Qi family has experienced through the generations.
He was afraid he would never see it again.
But he sincerely hoped that the general's wish would come true.
The guards' voices became smaller and smaller, with only exhalation but no inhalation.
Chu Xi was shocked. Even though she had already integrated into the mind of this body, she was still inevitably stunned when facing someone who was willing to risk his life.
The general environment of this era has caused people to become numb...
They have no faith, no thoughts, and even join the army just to survive and fill their stomachs.
But this person is different. He is willing to give up everything, even his life, just to pave the way for Qi Jianshu's comeback.
Do it knowing you can't do it.
It's both stupid and brave.
The moment Chu Xi was distracted was enough for those people to get closer.
Especially since these six people were Qi Jianshu’s personal followers, their martial arts skills were not inferior to that of his personal guards.
Loyalty goes without saying.
Once followers trained by such a large family recognize their master, they will generally swear allegiance to him until death.
Therefore, the personal guards were confident in entrusting the task of assassinating Chu Xi to them. From the very beginning, he did not expect this group of fence-sitters to be able to kill Chu Xi.
Both their loyalty to Western Chu and their martial arts were vulnerable.
It would be better to commit suicide than to rely on them.
Chu Xi didn't have time to sigh and quickly fought back. It was obvious that these people had practiced together.
They cooperated well, and the six of them... seemed to be using a sword formation.
For a moment, Chu Xi was entangled by them and could not find any loopholes at all.
As for the personal guard who had fought to the death to buy them a chance of survival, he had already fallen, leaving the soldiers to mercilessly trample over his body.
He never closed his eyes until his death.
Chu Xi doesn't like this era. No one likes war, and she is no exception.
Even though in this era the fastest way to survive is to make achievements on the battlefield, the battlefield is cruel and ruthless.
They fell one after another, both our own and the enemy, and the fallen bodies piled up.
Human life becomes extremely fragile at this time.
Then after the war, the lives of these people will become cold numbers in the statistics, as if... they had never been in this world.
Chu Xi suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and concentrated on the battle.
With her holding the group back, she also managed to rally dozens of people to fight together with her own strength.
For a moment, these people forgot that there were thousands of cavalrymen below them and focused their attention on Chu Xi.
Tang Juncheng saw that a fight had broken out in the valley on the right, but there was no movement on the left for the time being, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to Chu Xi and went over.
He divided his troops into two groups, one led by Tang Juncheng and the other led by Zhou Yichen.
Tang Juncheng surrounded the left side, and the right side where Chu Xi was was handed over to Zhou Yichen and his men for support.
He also knew that Zhou Yichen was just a prince and had no experience in leading troops in battle.
But... Zhou Yichen has a noble status, and when he is handed over to the captains under him, it is inevitable that they will need to consider the Third Prince's mood because of their status.
In this case, it would be better to hand over the command directly to Zhou Yichen.
At least there is the Prince of Chu above him.
I think nothing serious will happen.
Zhou Yichen led his men to bypass and encircle them.
More than two thousand people surrounded the one thousand people above, which was a sure win no matter how you looked at it.
Moreover, Tang Juncheng was strict in leading his troops, and he had confidence in his soldiers.
Zhou Yichen rushed up the mountain, searching the crowd.
Soon, he saw the figure that was eagerly searching near the cliff.
Chu Xi's brocade clothes were now stained with large patches of bright red, and had long since turned into a red dress.
One man fought against six men, and these six men had good martial arts skills, cooperated well, and had various sword formations.
The fierce sword moves are full of danger, as if every move is a fatal one.
No matter how powerful Chu Xi is, in this situation, he would inevitably feel overwhelmed having to take on the attacks of six people alone.
Besides...
She lowered her eyes slightly.
I am not a god, and I am not completely uninjured.
There was no time to treat the wounds on the waist and arms, and the blood from the wounds gradually wet these two places.
For this reason, the outer robes in these two places look particularly bright red.
Of course, they had more wounds.
Each person had at least three wounds.
In addition, they obviously used all their best skills to deal with Chu Xi.
Despite this, Chu Xi still couldn't be defeated.
Soon their sword formation changed, and they looked at each other, reaching a common understanding.
Three people attacked Chu Xi's chest at the same time, and three others attacked from different directions.
They are the back, left and right sides respectively.
If you avoid the attack in front, you will inevitably be unable to avoid the attack behind.
Evading to the left and both sides——only the back is left.
No matter which way she took, there was someone waiting for her.
In an instant, Chu Xi made a decision.
She doesn't have the ability to burrow underground, so she only has one way left...
God.
He dodged the attacks from the left and right by leaning sideways, then pointed the sword toward the ground, used the force to step on the three swords in front of him, did three somersaults, and flew up continuously.
The wide sleeves of the brocade robe fluttered like dancing, and paired with the slender waist, this scene was extremely beautiful.
Zhou Yichen locked onto Chu Xi and this was what he saw.
He was terrified and worried for nothing.
It seems like a stunning scene, but in fact it is full of murderous intent.
If Qi Bai had reacted a little slower, the sword of one of the six men would have pierced Qi Bai's body.
It would no longer be a pleasing scene, but a scene of vain injury.
Zhou Yichen drew his sword and charged forward. This time Zheng Hao did not try to stop him. He knew that His Highness had to restrain himself, restrain himself, and restrain himself again.
Therefore, he and other guards followed on both sides of His Highness, clearing away all obstacles and making a path for His Highness.
This kind of concerted cooperation allowed Zhou Yichen to quickly reach where Chu Xi was fighting.
Where the seven of them were fighting, the sword wind was so sharp that even if you were just lightly swept by it, your clothes would be torn or a shallow cut would be left.
For this reason, the other soldiers fought and instinctively avoided the seven of them.
This also made it convenient for Zhou Yichen to get closer.
Zhou Yichen pointed the tip of his sword towards one of them.
The opponent reacted quickly. When he realized that danger was approaching from behind, he retracted the sword in his hand and turned around.
He used the sword to block his chest in time, and Zhou Yichen's sword just brushed past the blade, just a little bit away.
Chu Xi took advantage of the opponent's dodge, found a flaw, flew up sideways, and kicked one person away.
With one move, he knocked the other three swords flying.
Then he stabbed the last man in the abdomen.
The sword formation...has been broken.
