Tibet

They camped next to the river to facilitate Li Ye's martial arts training. Li Ye found that his training could be interrupted for two or three days, which was not a big problem, but the interruption should not be too long, especially not more than three days, otherwise he would regress. The perception of water flow will decrease.

Li Ye did not dare to take off his clothes, so he dived into the water directly wearing his armor. The only swords and four flying knives around him were the swords, bows and arrows on the horses.

Of course, the letter Li Chu gave him was also with him. He vaguely guessed that Cheng Qianli belonged to the prince. Li Chu gave this letter to him as a test. If this letter could be delivered to Cheng Qianli safely, If he proves that he is trustworthy, then the prince and his grandfather can secretly reach some kind of tacit understanding.

Li Ye's sword cut through the waves under the water. He could make twenty blows with one change of breath. The progress he made in two months on the Shuofang battlefield was greater than the six months of hard training in Chang'an.

Now Li Ye also understands, what is the difference between Lie Feng's Suzaku Mind Technique and Pei Xingyan's Suzaku Mind Technique?

The range of Liefeng's Suzaku Mind Skill under water was too small, just a circle around him, so he could easily swing it twenty or thirty times at a time in the past.

But when his perception ability suddenly improved and he achieved a breakthrough, his range of perception under the water was ten times or even a hundred times greater than before, and the pressure brought by the water flow also suddenly increased dramatically, which was why he was in such difficulty.

This difference in perception is the difference between a swordsman and a fierce general. To put it bluntly, Pei Xingyan’s descendants do not have the strength and potential of their ancestors. Of course, they cannot follow Pei Xingyan’s way of a fierce general. They can only learn the most refined control part. , became the way of the swordsman.

An hour later, Li Ye came out of the water dripping wet, took a pill, and was about to cross his legs to recover. At this moment, he suddenly heard Su Bi shouting, "Join the army and run!"

Then there were several more screams, one of which was Su Bi's scream. Li Ye was shocked and ran towards the camping place with his knife in hand.

A dozen soldiers wearing armor appeared next to the bonfire. Two of them were chopped down to the ground. Su Bi was covered in blood and was pushed face down to the ground. A group of people surrounded him and kicked him.

Li Ye's eyes were red, and two flying knives shot out, piercing the backs of the two soldiers' necks, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"over there!"

More than a dozen Hu soldiers saw Li Ye and rushed forward together. Li Ye burst out with murderous intent and rushed over like a tiger. In a flash of cold light, the leading soldier's arms were broken and he fell into the fire. He was rolling on the ground in pain. , screaming heartbreakingly.

Li Ye cut his neck with a backhand knife, and the painful screams suddenly stopped.

The soldiers behind them trembled with fright and wanted to retreat, but they were too late. Several cold lights flashed, "Crack!" Three heads flew up, and blood spurted out from their necks several feet high.

The leading centurion's eyes were red. He roared and slashed at Li Ye with his sword. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. All his strength disappeared. He could no longer hold the sword in his hand. 'Clang! ’ When he landed, he looked down at his chest, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his chest. His throat gurgled twice, and he fell to the ground on his back and died.

Li Ye pierced his heart with a knife at an unparalleled speed, ignored him, and went to slaughter the other seven or eight soldiers.

Dozens of rays of cold light flashed, blood splattered everywhere, and there were screams. Between the rabbits and the falcons, he killed thirteen of the fifteen soldiers, and the last two were stunned and stood motionless.

Li Ye was merciless and cut the throat of one of them with a knife, and the other one was knocked unconscious by his punch.

At this time, Su Bi was also dying. He had been stabbed five times, two of which were critical, and he was no longer alive.

Su Bi suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared behind Li Ye in horror. Li Ye smelled a fishy smell. He instinctively pulled out an unknown dagger and swung it back with his backhand. The dagger was extremely sharp. "Crack!" One was about to sneak attack him. The wolf had half of its head cut off by him.

Li Ye looked around again. There were green eyes everywhere. The bonfire was almost extinguished by the soldiers just now. The fire was very small. It was filled with the pungent smell of blood and attracted hundreds of wolves.

Li Ye put away the dagger, held the sword in one hand, and picked up Su Bi in the other. He ran two steps and climbed onto his black brocade horse. He cut off the reins of the other four horses with his knife, and then galloped, waving all the way. He slashed with the knife and killed seven or eight wolves in one go, and broke out of the siege.

Hundreds of hungry wolves swarmed up and began to eat the corpses on the ground. Only a scream was heard in the distance. It should be that the Hu soldier who had been knocked unconscious and was about to ask for a confession woke up and was bitten to death by the wolves again.

Li Ye ran for more than ten miles in one breath. He felt that Su Bi's body was getting colder and colder. He stopped his horse and touched Su Bi's breath. He couldn't help feeling grief and anger in his heart, and he raised his head and roared.

……..

Li Ye cremated Su Bi according to the custom of the Tiele people, buried him by the river, and erected a monument for him with stones.

He stood still for a moment, then got on his horse and continued heading west. None of their horses followed them, their luggage and supplies were gone, and Li Ye was left with only one man and one horse.

Of course Li Ye knew what was going on. Xue Tuo, the chief of the Xue tribe, wanted to avenge his son and was chasing him from behind. What he encountered should be an advance team.

Li Ye's guess was correct. What they encountered was an advance team of fifteen people. Although the bonfire prevented the wolf, it pointed the direction for the advance team tracking them.

At dawn, Xue Tuo led his team to find the place where the fight took place last night. He only saw fifteen piles of white bones with teeth marks on them, and a lot of wolf dung around them.

"Great Chief, didn't they encounter prey last night? Didn't they encounter a pack of wolves?" the leader asked in confusion.

Xue Tuo shook his head, "It's true that they met a pack of wolves last night, but they also met those two people. You can see that many heads and arms were cut off. There were no signs of struggle on all of them. They should have been killed. He died and was eaten by wolves.”

"Ah! The two of them can actually defeat fifteen people?"

Xue Tuo said coldly: "It's not that the two are powerful, but only one is the target we want to catch. Although I want to cut him into pieces, we can't underestimate the enemy. Being able to kill my third brother Xue Lun shows that he is a A very powerful general, one person can fight against fifteen people, it’s nothing!”

At this time, the soldiers brought four horses and said, "Great chief, we found this in the forest, along with their luggage."

Seeing that there were several pots of arrows on it, Xue Tuo sneered and said: "He probably only has one pot of arrows next to him, keep chasing me!"

Everyone got on their horses one after another, and the captain was a little worried and said: "Great Chief, the wolves may still be around!"

Xue Tuo snorted disdainfully, "Wolves are afraid of nothing. I killed the White-legged Wolf King back then with my own hands. Which wolf on the grassland is not afraid of me?"

Hundreds of iron guards raised their spears and cheered. The captain did not dare to say a word. Xue Tuo drew his sword and waved, "Chase me!"

More than 280 cavalrymen followed Xue Tuo and continued to chase west.

After chasing for more than ten miles, Xue Tuo waved his hand and everyone stopped. Xue Tuo pointed to a pile of ashes and said: "There are bones in there!"

The soldiers turned over the ashes with spears and found some fragments of human bones. Xue Tuo proudly said to everyone: "It should be his companion who died. He was cremated according to grassland customs. Everyone, the person we are chasing is a young Han. He has no grassland experience, and he will be hunted by us sooner or later. I am setting a heavy reward here. If he catches this man alive, he will be rewarded with 30,000 sheep. If he kills this man, he will be rewarded with 10,000 sheep!"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and everyone is gearing up, eager to catch up with the prey.
