Chapter 103: Wrong Turn (1)

Ye Xuanshang and the others stood back-to-back in the encirclement, almost everyone's clothes stained with blood, the firelight constantly flashing before their eyes, and the fatigue after the fierce battle made the situation even more severe.

Li Si quickly sealed the acupoints to stop the bleeding for Shi Niang, but found that although the long spear was blocked by the silk net, it did not hit the vital point, but Fang Feibai's sharp true energy had invaded Shi Niang's meridians, almost cutting off all her vitality.

Not far away, Xiao Luchen, who was seriously injured by Ye Xuanshang's sword, sat cross-legged, the blood on the ground was dazzling, and his face was bloodless, not even knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Ye Xuanshang faced thousands of enemies, his sword edge cold and sharp. The Hengyuan Hall tonight was clearly a carefully designed trap, not only targeting Ye Xuanshang, but also calculating the Jiuyi Tribe.

No one could shake Great Chu in the hands of the Shao Yuan Jun.

Fang Feibai led the generals to the outside of the hall and said coldly, "If the Third Young Master is willing to abandon the sword and be bound, we don't have to waste time, and your accomplices will suffer less torture."

Ye Xuanshang's lips curled, ignoring the blood dripping from his wounds, the Guili sword slanted on his shoulder, and he turned around. "This is a good idea, why don't the General demonstrate it first, so I can open my eyes?"

Fang Feibai snorted angrily, cold light flashing in his eyes.

Qie Lan suddenly whispered when passing by Ye Xuanshang, "There is a secret passage exit behind the mountain rocks in the southeast, leading directly to the Digong you and Yan Ling walked that day, take them and go first."

Ye Xuanshang's eyes flashed. Qie Lan continued, "If you stay, none of us can leave alive. I have a way to deal with Fang Feibai, at least he doesn't dare to kill me."

Torches were everywhere, reflecting the sharp edges of the arrows into Qie Lan's calm pupils, just like the undeniable fact in her words.

Looking at the secret passage entrance, it was only a few zhang away, but it was as far away as ten thousand mountains and rivers. Without Ye Xuanshang's protection, relying on Li Si and Su Ying to take the seriously injured Shi Niang away was no different from a dream. The situation determined that one person must break the rear, and there was no one more suitable than Qie Lan, the Queen of the Jiuyi Tribe, who had the Yanfeng Bow.

The beautiful and cold figure in front, snow clothes and silver arrows, revealed the unparalleled momentum of thousands of troops.

Ye Xuanshang looked at Qie Lan deeply in the encirclement of torches, suddenly pointed the Guili sword forward, and shouted, "Fang Feibai, do you dare to fight me one-on-one!"

Fang Feibai waved his hand, the archers around retreated a few steps, and sneered, "Bullying the few with the many is not a hero, and I also want to see the Guili sword technique, otherwise after tonight, there will be no chance."

Ye Xuanshang also smiled, "If I, Ye Xuanshang, want to leave, I'm afraid your mere thousand people can't stop me."

Fang Feibai said, "But the people around you will definitely not be able to return alive."

Ye Xuanshang's eyes showed brilliance, "Then I guarantee everyone here will have to be buried with me!"

The sword was not moved, the words were exchanged, both wanted to cause a fatal flaw in the other's psychology, suppress the other's momentum, and when the words were finished, they stepped forward at the same time.

One step landed, the atmosphere around suddenly became murderous and heavy. As the two took the second step, the Liefeng Cavalry soldiers slowly retreated, making room for a wider field. Li Si and the others also seemed unable to bear this cold momentum and retreated outwards, gradually approaching the secret passage entrance.

Qie Lan just turned sideways slightly, moving outwards, as if to protect the crowd, the Yanfeng Bow still pointing directly at the decisive battlefield.

As he took his second step, Ye Xuanshang's figure suddenly paused slightly. Under the pull of their Qi, Fang Feibai launched his attack abruptly. With a violent shout, his double hooks streaked like lightning, reflecting the blinding firelight all around, and slashed like meteors toward Ye Xuanshang's injured shoulder.

Fang Feibai was the head of the Jun Mansion generals, his martial arts were comparable to Huang Fei, and his tactics were impeccable. He saw that Ye Xuanshang was injured after the battle, and his thunderous strike attacked his must-save point.

Ye Xuanshang's long sword came out like electricity, a sword light broke into the double hooks, so fast that no one could see clearly.

"Clang!"

Hook and sword crossed! Ye Xuanshang flashed close to Fang Feibai, the Guili sword slashed down with the momentum of overturning the sea, every sword forced the sand and stones in the field to fly, the firelight flashed rapidly, and the people around had to retreat again to avoid being injured by the sword energy.

This kind of fighting method consumes the most true energy. Unless the enemy is killed within a few moves, the advantages and disadvantages will inevitably reverse as the other grows.

Fang Feibai retreated a step suddenly, double hooks horizontally framed, as if two flashes of lightning sealed the sword momentum, the speed of changing moves was also amazing.

The brilliance exploded frequently under the moon, figures and sword shadows tumbled and flashed, the two fought at close quarters, life and death could be judged in an instant, extremely dangerous.

Nearly a thousand people in the field were almost unable to breathe, and it was silent, only hearing the torches crackling in the wind.

At this time, Ye Xuanshang's offensive suddenly stagnated, groaned, and flashed sideways. How could Fang Feibai let go of such a good opportunity, the cold light in his hand soared, and the sky full of hook shadows surged like a tide, rolling towards the opponent.

"Clang, clang!" The sounds rang out sharply. Blood splattered from Ye Xuanshang's wound as he retreated rapidly through the air, landing toward the southeast in the Imperial Garden, where mountain stones stood in clusters.

At this moment, Su Ying and the others retreated again and again, only a few steps away from the secret passage entrance.

Fang Feibai roared, and jumped to pursue. Just at this time, the golden light of the Yanfeng Bow flashed, delicate hands, jade fingers suddenly released, three Yanfeng arrows suddenly left the string, with sharp and fierce whistling, shooting towards the field like lightning!

Yi Qingqing and Zhan Xing shouted angrily and flew up. Ye Xuanshang, who was retreating, suddenly turned around and shot back miraculously, the Guili sword energy pierced the long rainbow, covering the front, its speed was three times faster than before, and there was no sign of the injury recurring. The three realized they were tricked.

Fang Feibai was also capable. At the moment the arrow light hit his body, the double hooks swept left and right, accurately hitting two arrows, and at the same time, he took a breath of true energy and turned back in the air. The third Yanfeng arrow avoided the vital point and flew past his side with a splash of blood.

The Guili sword and the silver halberd made a shocking sound, and Zhan Xing stumbled and fell away. Yi Qingqing was shocked, the Guili sword flashed in front of her eyes, sword energy attacked her body, actually making her unable to even withdraw her sword and retreat.

Fang Feibai landed and hurriedly operated true energy to resolve the arrow energy in his body, roared angrily, "Kill them!"

Firelight and blade edges surged. Qie Lan's Yanfeng arrows came out again, continuous arrows flashed, and the Liefeng Cavalry soldiers splashed blood frequently. But the archers around were worried that Yi Qingqing was trapped in the formation, and for a while did not dare to shoot.

This provided a very good opportunity for the five people. When Ye Xuanshang and Qie Lan made a move, Li Si and the others killed towards the secret passage entrance at the same time. At this time, Li Si alone took on the responsibility of protecting Shi Niang, Su Ying set about breaking the secret passage mechanism, only for a moment, but with a "click", the secret passage opened.

Qie Lan frequently fired arrows and shouted to Ye Xuanshang, "Take them and go!"

Ye Xuanshang roared, the Guili sword's sharp edge soared, Yi Qingqing gritted her silver teeth, waved her sword to meet, in the muffled sound, sword light and colorful clothes in mid-air, suddenly scattered, Yi Qingqing barely took a breath of true energy and flew back in mid-air, not landing, a mouthful of blood sprayed her sleeves.

Ye Xuanshang retreated at the same time. Li Si behind him was always silent, sword shadows spat and flashed, constantly killing opponents under her sword, but this series of fierce battles consumed a lot of true energy, and the sword momentum gradually lost its previous sharpness. At this moment, Ye Xuanshang retreated to the entrance, the sword light arrived, and those who blocked died, immediately taking over the offensive around, and sent Li Si out of the battle circle with a palm, "Go!"

Liefeng Cavalry soldiers surged like a tide. Li Si beheaded two opponents in succession, not caring about being covered in blood, back-elbowed a person who rushed from the side to vomit blood and fall, and under Ye Xuanshang's protection, took Su Ying and Shi Niang to flash into the secret passage first. Just at this time, strange orders came from the Liefeng Cavalry army, the soldiers' offensive turned weak, and immediately, they seemed to retreat in an orderly manner. The sound of mechanisms came, Qie Lan's expression changed slightly, and she saw Ye Xuanshang also retreated to the secret passage, the last round of Yanfeng arrows shot out, gathered energy in her left hand, and struck the stone gate from the air. The secret passage stone gate closed with a bang, and Qie Lan gave a clear whistle, white clothes flying, and rushed into the sky with the counter-force of the palm!

Countless sharp arrows whistled, but a white figure in mid-air showed a dazzling light, like a phoenix dancing in flowing snow, stars shining in the long sky, arrows breaking, falling like rain.

The Fuxuan sword appeared and disappeared, Qie Lan's sleeves fluttered, sweeping away the arrow tips, and at the same time as she landed, she flashed sideways, the fallen arrows on the ground flew up, and the Yanfeng Bow's golden strings shone.

"Fang Feibai, stop!" The veil fell, and the jade face appeared.

Fang Feibai was shocked and ordered to stop. All archers drew their bows, aiming at the visitor without firing.

Under the moonlight, white clothes were like snow, the Jiuyi Tribe's unparalleled divine bow, and the unparalleled graceful style. Yanfeng Yan feathers, the move "Bird Exhausts Bow Hides" made Fang Feibai suspicious in his heart early on. At this moment, confirming his guess, the doubt in his eyes slowly turned into calmness, sighing: "Feibai now knows the meaning of the Monarch's words. The Highness's help to Ye Xuanshang tonight must have disappointed the Monarch. Does the Highness not understand that with the power of my Shao Yuan Jun Mansion, even with the help of the entire Jiuyi Tribe, Ye Xuanshang has absolutely no possibility of escaping from the Chu capital."

Facing the heavy siege and heavy arrow tips, Qie Lan put away the Yanfeng Bow, raised her lips elegantly, looked at the secret passage, and said, "General Fang, don't guess wildly. Senior brother wants to kill Ye Xuanshang, but it is not urgent at this moment. Now that the Eastern Emperor has formed a marriage alliance with the Jun Mansion, but there are many arrangements in secret, Senior brother wants to determine the Nine Princess's intentions and test the true intentions of the Imperial Capital. Ye Xuanshang is the best candidate. I helped him tonight, but to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, this is all in the plan."

Fang Feibai was stunned, remembering Huang Fei's previous words. If it was to test the Nine Princess, it seemed more reasonable, and he frowned, "The Monarch never mentioned this, we were just ordered not to let Ye Xuanshang leave the Hengyuan Hall alive."

Qie Lan said, "Fake the play and make it real, it is easier to believe. What kind of relationship does my Jiuyi Tribe have with the Shao Yuan Jun Mansion, would I betray an outsider and go against Senior brother? You don't think about it, if it weren't for Senior brother's permission, how could the guards in the secret passage let us reach this Hengyuan Hall so easily?"

Fang Feibai thought her words were reasonable, and pondered for a while, lowering his head and saying nothing. At this time, a huge bang suddenly came from afar, and flames burst out in the direction of the Shangyang Palace, one after another, smoke rolling, rushing straight into the night sky.

The generals of the Jun Mansion were all shocked. Han Xi Princess and the Queen of Chu were both in the Shangyang Palace, and something must have happened. Qie Lan hurried a few steps, frowning, "Not good, could it be that the rebel army raided the Shangyang Palace?" Turning to Fang Feibai, "The Queen and the Princess are in danger! You take troops to reinforce quickly, I will deal with Ye Xuanshang."
