In the south of Jiangbei City, hundreds of winged cavalry warriors were riding on their mounts and spreading out to search for those who had yet to escape.
Every once in a while, there would be a person wearing infrared night vision goggles.
With this thing, anything that emitted heat would not be able to escape their eyes.
After going deep into Great Xia and fighting against Great Xia in the north, the winged cavalry was already used to some very convenient and practical modern technology.
For example, radio stations, walkie-talkies, night vision devices, binoculars … Now that walkie-talkies couldn't be used, they couldn't communicate with the other teams at any time. This made the winged cavalry feel somewhat inconvenienced. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Fortunately, the night vision goggles and binoculars could still be used, so they didn't immediately return to their original state.
"There are people six hundred steps to the southwest. One ran away and the other is lying on the ground."
Immediately, someone went to check it out.
"He's dead. He just died. His body is still warm."
A moment later, the winged cavalry warrior spoke again, "Two thousand steps away, there are five people fighting. Surround them! Don't let him escape! "
"Su Xing, it seems like your reinforcements are about to arrive. I'll spare your life today. I'll take your head another day! " Even though the winged cavalry hadn't arrived yet, the sound of hooves could be heard a long time ago.
Among the four people present, one of them was the Sect Master of the Soul Mountain Sect, Su Xing. The other person was also wearing the uniform of the Soul Mountain Sect.
Both of them had injuries on their bodies, but they were much better off than Zhan Changkong.
"You want to leave? Where are you going? " Su Xing, who had been at a disadvantage all this while, sneered. He raised his sword and used the strongest trapping sword technique of the Soul Mountain Sect. Gusts of sword wind surrounded the two of them, trapping them in place.
"They stopped in the distance? Since that's the case, I'll kill you first! "When the two people who were trapped realized that they didn't hear the approaching winged cavalry, their eyes flashed with murderous intent.
However, both of them avoided clashing with Su Xing's sword and saber.
Seeing that the winged cavalry wasn't coming over, Su Xing was a little anxious. He immediately opened his mouth to shout, but the other party suddenly attacked fiercely, causing him to be flustered.
"The Spiritual Mountain Sect is here!"
Fortunately, at this moment, another person let out a long roar, causing Su Xing to instantly become spirited.
This time, it was the other two's turn to be anxious, and they immediately attacked fiercely.
"Fight! Stop him! "One of them shouted. After that, the aura around his body continued to rise. After that, he shouted," Star Shattering! "
Following that, a cold light rose from his hand. It was a cold light in the darkness, as though it wanted to split the darkness apart, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
However, Su Xing's expression changed drastically. He quickly retreated. The sword in his hand was almost invisible. Only his arms kept waving, colliding with the cold light that separated the darkness.
When the cold light disappeared, Su Xing stood on the ground, gasping for breath. His body was covered with wounds so deep that his bones could be seen.
"Go! Quickly retreat! "The man who had just used his sword turned pale.
Another person carried him and said, "Sect Leader Su, we will meet again!"
With that, the two of them retreated into the darkness.
However, the numerous saber lights caused the two of them to return at an even faster speed. They looked at the darkness in horror.
"Leave? Where are you going? There's no need to see each other again. Stay here. " Following a rough voice, many figures that were much wider than ordinary people appeared in the darkness.
Dozens of figures surrounded the five of them.
Su Xing's face revealed a pleased expression. However, he was also slightly puzzled as to how they came so quickly!
"Winged cavalry …" One of them said with a trembling voice and a bitter face.
"Do you choose to die now, or do you want to be captured and hung on top of the city wall for a few days before dying?" A winged cavalry warrior wearing night vision goggles sneered.
No matter what choice they made, they would still die.
The winged cavalry didn't want captives!
"Fight!" The three of them looked at each other and rushed toward the figures that surrounded them.
Immediately, three winged cavalry warriors came forward.
After a while, there were only severed limbs and a few broken swords left on the ground.
"Did anyone else escape?" one of the winged cavalry warriors asked Su Xing.
"They all escaped separately. I don't know the situation of the others."
"Can you lead the way?"
"Alright!"
Subsequently, Su Xing and the other person traveled with this group of winged cavalry warriors. Along the way, he was extremely surprised that these winged cavalry warriors could actually detect living beings in the distance, be it humans or animals. This made it a lot easier for everyone to move around.
The source of all this should be the strange things in the eyes of some of the winged cavalry warriors.
…
Ren Baqian followed the guards to an empty courtyard. The two doctors in Wu City, as well as the practitioners of the martial arts world who were skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, were all gathered here.
"Can he still be saved?" Ren Baqian looked at Zhan Changkong, who had a large dent in his chest, multiple injuries, and a weak aura.
"Although his injuries are very serious, his body is very strong, and his life is not in danger," one of them said.
"Not bad. It's good that he can live." Ren Baqian nodded and said to the few people sent by the Lingshan Sect, "Someone go and inform Painting Fairy of the Golden Ring Residence."
"You guys, do a good job. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded." Ren Baqian nodded at the doctors in the courtyard before leaving with his men to wait for news.
"Sir, how should we deal with the corpse?" someone asked as he dragged the corpse of Shan Yu, who had previously assassinated Ren Baqian.
"Hang it on top of the city wall and let the birds eat it. In addition, arrange for a few people to hide in the surroundings. Maybe someone will come to snatch his corpse. Kill them all. "Ren Baqian waved his hand.
When he entered the hall, he saw the empress sitting in the middle and sipping wine.
Captain Gong Zheng of the winged cavalry was embedded into the wall!
"Why aren't you sleeping, Your Majesty?"
"I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk." The empress looked at him and was relieved to see that he was fine. She got up and was about to leave.
"The night is long, and I'm not in the mood to sleep. Why don't I accompany you for a walk?" Ren Baqian laughed.
"I'm sleepy!" the empress casually said.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Ren Baqian said from behind the empress.
The empress had just stepped out of the door when she gently kicked the door sill with her heel. A piece of wood immediately brushed past Ren Baqian's arm … and smashed into Gong Zheng's head, who was embedded into the wall.
"I just can't sleep," the empress said faintly.
Ren Baqian smiled, sat back in his chair, and said, "Captain Gong, Her Majesty has left."
"Oh." Gong Zheng jumped down from the wall and saw that his head was still swollen. He then rubbed his head and said angrily, "I was almost buried by Her Majesty! Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, I would have been buried with you. "
The night passed, and Ren Baqian waited until dawn. News began to come back, and at the same time, a few people were sent back.
After another two to four hours, all the winged cavalry warriors that were sent out returned.
Finally, including Zhan Changkong, a total of eight people came back alive from this reconnaissance mission.
Excluding Zuo Cheng, only seven Earth Wheel experts returned.
Of the three from the Lingshan Sect, two returned, and of the five from the Golden Ring Residence, two returned. Ling Zekuan, who Zhan Changkong thought was dead, actually didn't die.
However, if he was discovered a little later, he would probably be dead.
Of the 20 people from the other sects, only three returned!
Ren Baqian comforted everyone, got them to record their contributions, and then arranged for everyone to recuperate.
Although there were heavy casualties this time, some of the other party's arrangements were exposed, and the spy, Shan Yu, was also exposed.
Otherwise, if they had unknowingly stepped into the other party's trap during the attack, the winged cavalry would have suffered heavy casualties.
This was considered a blessing in disguise.
At the same time, some information about the Wang Estuary was brought back along with these people.
