Wei Ting was stunned when he heard this.
Was he so unlucky?
Had he actually met someone who knew Jiang Feng?
It had to be known that in the Southern Wilderness, the Jinwu Guards and the Yulin Army were in different government offices.
One was the deputy general of the Jinwu Guards, and the other was an ordinary imperial guard. They should not be related.
It was a coincidence. The Jinwu Guards needed manpower for the expansion last year. The commander of the imperial guards sent more than ten guards who knew carpentry.
Among them was Jiang Feng.
He was very outstanding at work. The commander of the Jinwu Guard had even praised him, so the deputy commander remembered it.
The Ghost Shadow Guards were instantly vigilant.
Compared to Jiang Feng, who had appeared at the last minute, it was obvious that the words of the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guards were more convincing.
Wei Ting also knew that he had no chance of quibbling. If it were him, the King of the Southern Wilderness, who was escaping, would definitely rather kill a hundred by mistake than let anyone off.
He un.o.btrusively took out two Thunderbolt Beads given to him by the little fat peac.o.c.k.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards ordered, “Capture him!”
With his order, a Ghost Shadow Guard flew towards Wei Ting.
Wei Ting threw the Thunderbolt Bead in his hand.
With two loud bangs, the Thunderbolt Beads exploded on the Ghost Shadow Guards on the ground.
The Ghost Shadow Guard, who had been blown up, immediately fell to the ground. He wanted to get up, but his body went limp. “There’s knockout powder…”
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards hurriedly said, “Hold your breath!”
Everyone hurriedly held their breaths.
Wei Ting took the opportunity to run!
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards said coldly, “Chase!”
The four Ghost Shadow Guards chased after Wei Ting.
Wei Ting used his qinggong to the limit and quickly flew past the treetops. The cold wind in his face made his face go numb, but he did not dare to stop.
However, there were drawbacks to not stopping.
Big Brother and the Black-armored Guards had yet to arrive. If Zongzheng Ming broke out of the camp now, it would be difficult to catch up.
He had to protect himself and stall Zongzheng Ming…
The first was already at h.e.l.l-level difficulty. Including the second, it would probably not be enough even if he sacrificed his life. Wei Ting deeply felt that it was troublesome.
Swish!
A sharp knife flew over from behind. It was as fast as lightning.
Wei Ting’s eyes trembled. He grabbed a tree trunk and used inertia to circle it.
The dagger flew past the tree trunk and stabbed into the tree in front.
Crack—
The tree that was thicker than a bowl was actually cut apart by a flying dagger.
If he did not dodge, wouldn’t he be cut in half?
Wei Ting felt a chill.
He could not fight these guys.
Fortunately, Wei Ting had been “guided” by Qin Canglan so many times that his internal strength and qinggong had increased greatly. He could still deal with them for the time being.
Wei Ting circled around and began to run back.
As expected, the lights in Zong Zhengming’s tent came on, and the shadow of Xie Jinnian helping him change was cast on the tent.
The EmDress Dowager also got someone to wake her uD.
However, the Empress Dowager was not cooperative and kept scolding in the tent.
Wei Ting took out a few more Thunderbolt Beads and blew up the three carriages without thinking!
Cheng Lian was in the carriage. When the carriage cracked, she was blown into a ball of coal.
Wei Ting wanted to blow up Zongzheng Ming, but Zongzheng Ming’s tent was surrounded by the Ghost Shadow Guards, so he could only do the next best thing and blow up the carriage.
Right on the heels of that, he went to cut the horse rope again.
He was the one who volunteered to feed the horse yesterday. He was also the one who tied it to the tree.
He had already done something at that point. He could let them all go with a pull of the main rope.
He pulled.
The horses scattered.
However, he had also paid the price. He was. .h.i.t in the back by the leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards.
His chest hurt and he fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards walked forward and stomped toward his head!
Wei Ting used all his strength to roll to the side and avoid this fatal blow.
However, he had been injured during the day. Coupled with the fact that he had suffered a palm strike from the leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards just now, he could no longer attack.
He struggled a few times, but he only went from lying down to lying down.
The Ghost Shadow Guard leader’s internal breath ran amok in his meridians. His meridians began to reverse, and he kept spitting out blood.
The Ghost Shadow Guard bent down and mercilessly strangled him before coldly lifting him up.
Wei Ting’s throat was grabbed and he gradually could not breathe. His entire face turned purple.
The veins on his forehead seemed to be about to explode, and his body began to spasm.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards said coldly, “Kid, you’re quite bold to actually sneak to His Majesty’s side. Unfortunately, you’re a traitor. Die!” He clenched his fists and was about to break Wei Ting’s neck.
In an instant, a spear suddenly flew over from his side and aimed at his head!
He raised his hand and grabbed the spear!
Then, he turned one hand and changed the direction of the spear, shooting fiercely into the depths of the forest!
Taking advantage of the moment he attacked, Wei Ting suddenly raised a dart and stabbed it into his neck!
He tilted his head and the dagger stabbed his shoulder.
The dagger was poisoned.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards let go and hurriedly pulled out his dagger to seal this acupoint.
Wei Ting fell and used the last bit of strength he had to escape to the stream. He jumped without thinking!
However, the moment he fell into the water, another Ghost Shadow Guard drew his bow and shot at him!
Thump!
Wei Ting fell into the cold stream.
Just as the Ghost Shadow Guards were about to continue chasing underwater, a few spears flew over and nailed themselves to the riverbank, as if they had built a protective iron wall!
Right on the heels of that, everyone heard the hurried sound of hooves. The ground trembled, and dust was stirred up. The birds and beasts in the forest were shocked and began to flee in all directions.
The sound of hooves broke through the mountains and rivers, carrying a surging killing intent as they charged toward Zongzheng Ming and the others.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards frowned. “Where are these cavalrymen from? Why is there something wrong with the sound of hooves?”
Most of the people brought over by the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes were light cavalry. They were fast and were good at long-range attacks. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to arrive at the capital in time to save the emperor.
However, the ones running towards them were clearly heavy cavalry.
“It’s them! It’s them!”
The deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard suddenly shouted in fear.
“What them?” The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards asked unhappily.
The shadow of the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guards being dominated by the Black-armored Guards surged into his mind again. “I don’t know where the 300 troops outside the Cheng family came from, but I’ve never seen them before!”
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards asked, “How many people are there?”
The deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard said with a trembling voice, “About… 300!”
“A mere 300 people defeated 2,000 Jing Wu Guards?”
“You don’t know how ferocious they are! Every one of them is an expert!”
The combat strength of the cavalry was far higher than that of the infantry. Under the circ.u.mstances of the infantry, they could defeat many with fewer numbers. Now that they were riding again, their combat strength had increased by a level.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards quickly walked up to Zongzheng Ming and cupped his hands. “Your Majesty! Please leave quickly with the Empress Dowager. I’ll bring people to stop them!”
Unfortunately, it was too late. The Black-armored Guards had already caught up.
They were dressed in black armor and riding dark horses that emitted a faint light, like a ghost army in the night.
Everyone felt a murderous aura.
The Ghost Shadow Guards were good at a.s.sa.s.sination, but they were better at leading troops to war.
Group combat was their weakness. Fortunately, their martial arts were high enough. It was about the same if they fought ten alone.
To capture bandits, one had to capture the leader first!
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards looked at Ghostfear who was in the lead. He pulled out his sword and leaped towards Ghostfear’s head to harvest it.
However, he did not hit it.
Ghostfear blocked him with his spear!
He patted his horse’s saddle and jumped up, kicking the shoulder of the Ghost Shadow Guard leader!
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards was forced back more than ten steps and looked at the other party in disbelief.
What powerful internal strength!
He jumped up again and attacked.
He raised his speed to the limit. Unexpectedly, Ghostfear was faster than he was.
Ghostfear jumped above him as he raised his head in disbelief. He had just taken a look when Ghostfear stepped on his chest!
He fell heavily, breaking even the roots that emerged.
He endured the pain and stood up like a carp. However, before he could attack, his throat was grabbed by the half-mad Ghostfear and he fell to the ground! How he had thrown Wei Ting previously, Ghostfear had doubled down.
Ghostfear’s terrifying aura kept rising.
He was really angry.
For the first time, the leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards felt danger. Not only was this person strong, but he also had the determination to destroy the world at all costs.
Ghostfear lifted him up and slammed him into the tree!
Ghostfear grabbed his neck and stared at him like the abyss of death. “Those who hurt my brother, shall die!”
Ghostfear’s hand elegantly stabbed into his chest and crushed his heart!
The 300 Black-armored Guards surrounded Zongzheng Ming and the others.
In a one-on-one battle, the Black-armored Guards were no match for the Ghost Shadow Guards.
However, when Wei Qing was training, he had already considered the situation of deciding experts. He had long researched the formation to surround and kill experts.
The leader of the Black-armored Guards raised his chess piece. “Formation!” The Black-armored Guards quickly changed their formation.
Wei Liulang did not fight the Ghost Shadow Guards. He jumped into the stream as soon as he arrived.
“Little Seven, Sixth Brother is here. You have to hold on!”
The stream was flowing.
Although it was not rapid, Wei Ting was seriously injured and had long lost his mobility. He was washed away the moment he entered the water.
Wei Liulang searched down the stream.
It was still dark under the water.
At this moment, his prosthetic arm emitted light.
Wei Liulang was delighted.
With the help of the light from the golden arm, he held his breath and moved underwater.
However, as he searched, his expression froze. It had been so long, but he had yet to find it.
“Little Seven, where are you?”
