Chapter 270

"Miss Tian, you're awake?" Ye Xiaotian held on to Tian Miaowen's thigh, running up the hill as he shouted in surprise.

This was the main road, and there was still more than two zhang's distance to the hill. There was still another seven to eight zhang's of climbing up the hill, only then would there be boulders and trees that could be used to obstruct the cavalry. Now that the two groups of cavalry had exhausted their momentum, they were circling their horses and turning back. In order to form an assault formation again, he had to race against time.

"Be … be gentle, it hurts!"

Tian Miaowen moaned softly beside Ye Xiaotian's ear. With her messy hair and slightly furrowed eyebrows, she looked delicate and pitiful. If it was just a close-up of her face, her expression would be very ambiguous. But in this situation, with an arrow sticking out of her butt, there was nothing romantic about it.

Especially when the two groups of cavalry that had rushed out more than two zhang's were forming an assault formation again. This happened in an instant, so how could Ye Xiaotian dare to be slow? "Can't be slow, can't be slow! If we're slow, we'll either be chopped into meat paste or trampled into meat paste! "

As Ye Xiaotian spoke, he increased the strength of his hands, lifting Tian Miaowen's body up slightly. This way, her body would be able to reduce the vibration when they ran. But this way, Ye Xiaotian was strained. Running up a hill was already tiring, not to mention carrying a person on his back. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but let out rapid breathing sounds.

"Kill!"

The assassins sent out by the Zhan Family Fort formed an assault formation again, spurring their horses to gallop. Their formation drew an extremely small arc, heading straight for Ye Xiaotian and the others. Ye Xiaotian's subordinates didn't hesitate, similarly pouncing towards Ye Xiaotian and the others.

Both sides, one wanted to kill, the other wanted to save. They were as fast as the wind, moving as fast as lightning, arriving in front of them in an instant. Both sides seemed to have the same thought, taking out their arrows at the same time and starting to shoot.

The Zhan Family Fort assassins were shooting at Ye Xiaotian and the others, while Ye Xiaotian's guards were shooting at the enemy cavalry. But because the distance was too close, they only had the chance to shoot one arrow, and shooting from a fast horse, the accuracy was hard to say.

Only a godly archer of the Jebe level could shoot an arrow accurately while riding on a galloping horse. Guizhou had many mountains and few horses. Their archery on horseback was even worse. Because these people were the personal soldiers of the Chieftain, they had horses as their means of transportation. But they were still able to charge, but their archery on horseback was a complete mess. Their accuracy was completely out of the question. They could only rely on covering fire to injure the enemy.

But only one-tenth of them had bows and arrows, and they could only shoot one arrow in a hurry, and the accuracy was terrible. Arrows flew all over the sky, looking extremely thrilling, but not many could actually hit their target. In addition, Hua Yunfei and the others were brandishing their blades to protect Ye Xiaotian, so Ye Xiaotian only had to focus on running forward. In any case, he was carrying a meat shield on his back, so his speed didn't decrease at all.

Ye Xiaotian barely made it to the hillside filled with shrubs and rocks. The two groups of cavalrymen also encountered each other halfway through his desperate escape, and a fierce battle ensued. Both sides fought as they moved up the hillside.

Ye Xiaotian panted heavily, turning his head to look back, and shouted, "Go up the hill, walk along the ridge, and then … another ten miles, and then … we'll be safe …"

Ye Xiaotian almost blurted out that they would meet reinforcements in another ten miles, but he suddenly remembered that Tian Miaowen was on his back, and changed his words at the last moment. Although he didn't see Tian Miaowen as an enemy, but there were some things that he shouldn't let her know.

When Tian Miaowen heard him say this, her heart suddenly jumped. Her people were lying in ambush seven or eight miles away, and Ye Xiaotian said that they would be safe in another ten miles, what did this mean? That wasn't his territory. Could it be …

Actually, it was not strange that they chose almost the same location. If they wanted to set up an ambush, of course they would choose the easiest place to set up an ambush on the way back, so it was reasonable that they chose the same geographical location that was easy to set up an ambush at the same time.

But Tian Miaowen only thought about it for a moment, and then immediately rejected her own speculation. Impossible! If Ye Xiaotian knew that she had an ambush in front of him, even if he didn't suspect that she was going to harm him, he would at least know that her reason for sending a message to help him wasn't simple, so why would he risk his life to save her?

Although he was carrying a beauty on his back, with her round thighs and soft breasts, carrying a beauty up the mountain was really a tough job. Ye Xiaotian wandered around in the forest for a while before feeling a bit exhausted.

"Yunfei, come and take my place, I'm tired!"

"Okay!"

Hua Yunfei slung his bow over his back and his saber at his waist before rushing forward. Tian Miaowen's hands tightened, and her almond-shaped eyes glared at him, "I can't!"

Hua Yunfei was stunned, and Ye Xiaotian forced a smile, "Aunt, you may not be heavy, but you're not as light as a feather either. If I carry you, I won't be able to run fast!"

Tian Miaowen spat angrily, "You think I want you to carry me?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Then let him help you!"

Tian Miaowen said unreasonably, "No!"

Ye Xiaotian was helpless. Who asked her to be Ning 'er's sworn sister, so she could be considered his sister-in-law? He could only carry her on his back and use all his strength to continue climbing up the mountain.

Tian Miaowen had already been carried on Ye Xiaotian's back once. Not only had he carried her, but she had also been ruthlessly ravaged by him. This time, she was unconscious when he carried her. Since things had come to this, there was nothing he could do.

However, if another man were to do such intimate contact with her, how could Tian Miaowen bear it? The customs of Guizhou were more open than those of the Central Plains, but they weren't casual either. Moreover, Tian Miaowen came from a rich and powerful family, so the education she received from a young age wasn't inferior to the young ladies of the Central Plains.

That kind of mentality was like a girl who had her body taken by a man and had no choice but to follow him. There were still many people like this even after six or seven hundred years, let alone in this era.

Although the situation of Tian Miaowen and Ye Xiaotian wasn't that serious, their mentality was probably the same. How could Tian Miaowen bear being carried by one man after another? Moreover, she was inexplicably angry, "I clearly wanted to send someone to 'assassinate' you, you bastard, so why am I the unlucky one in the end?"

Sometimes, a woman's mind was really unreasonable, even for someone as intelligent as Tian Miaowen. Ye Xiaotian carried Miss Tian. When he climbed up the mountain, his hands and legs were already weak. When he turned his head to look down, both parties had already switched to fighting on foot. The assassins wanted to go up the mountain, but Ye Xiaotian's entourage did their best to stop them. Both parties were engaged in a fierce battle.

Ye Xiaotian turned his head to look at the pretty flower on his shoulder, "Miss, can you still walk?"

Tian Miaowen glared at him in embarrassment and anger, "What do you think?"

Ye Xiaotian let out a long sigh, "I'll carry you!"

…

Zhan Boxiong paced back and forth in the hall, like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously waiting for the news from outside the castle. When he made the decision to assassinate Tian Miaowen, he felt that he was a big voice, an elephant without form, a big straight line, great wisdom, great stupidity, great skill … He really had the demeanor of an ambitious and ruthless person, but once he went out, he felt uneasy.

"Report! Report … "

A knight rushed into the hall and almost tripped over the high threshold. He staggered all the way into the hall and was supported by Zhan Boxiong. He was so excited that his beard curled up, "Is it done? Is it done? "

The knight hurriedly replied, "Chieftain, she … she escaped up the mountain."

Zhan Boxiong's face turned pale, and he opened his five trembling fingers, shouting excitedly, "Three hundred people, a full three hundred people! Three hundred people killed a dozen people, and you let her escape up the mountain? "

The knight didn't dare to ask the chieftain about the connection between five fingers and three hundred people. He only replied in fear, "Chieftain, Miss Tian's guards are too brave, protecting her as she escaped. We were about to catch up, but who would have thought that she would catch up to Chieftain Ye, and Chieftain Ye brought over a hundred people …"

Zhan Boxiong wanted nothing more than to strangle him to death, but he still asked patiently, "Ye Xiaotian saved her?"

The knight said, "Yes! Chieftain Ye immediately came to her rescue. Right now, both sides are entangled at the foot of the mountain, while Chieftain Ye protected Miss Tian and escaped up the mountain. "

Zhan Boxiong fiercely pushed the knight back a few steps, causing him to fall to the ground. Zhan Boxiong anxiously walked a few rounds, then suddenly stopped and shouted, "Quick! Gather the troops in the castle! "

The knight said in shock, "Chieftain, are you going to personally take action?"

Zhan Boxiong fiercely said, "Do you want to sit and watch as you bunch of trash ruin my plans? Go quickly! "

The knight didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly ran out to call for more people. Zhan Boxiong's eyes turned, and after thinking for a while, he gradually revealed a sinister smile. It wasn't too late to mend the pen after the sheep were lost. It wasn't to the point of no return yet!

A moment later, the Zhan family castle gates opened. Zhan Boxiong raised his long blade and personally led his troops out of the castle. However, the Zhan family castle's cavalry was limited. Previously, they had sent out three hundred people, but now, other than the two hundred real cavalry, the rest were riding on mules and donkeys. There was also a large group of people running barefoot, forming a line that stretched for a mile.

Ye Xiaotian carried Tian Miaowen on his back as he walked along the mountain ridge. Two of the guards covered the back, while the others opened the path in front. At this time, their hooked blades were very useful. In the dense forest, the blades couldn't be used at all, and they had to chop along the way. No matter how strong they were, how long could they chop? The hooked blades were like sickles, but it was the most labor-saving tool to open the path.

At the bottom of the mountain, Ye Xiaotian's followers blocked the assassins, but once they broke through the defense line and rushed up the slope, it would become a battle of their own. Although they had the advantage of fighting in the forest, they couldn't stop the assassins from going up the mountain.

At this time, Old Hero Zhan had also killed his way to the bottom of the mountain. His troops had already formed a line of five to six miles long, and following closely behind were two hundred warriors on horseback. Behind them were those riding mules, then behind them were those riding donkeys, and at the very back were those running.

Ye Xiaotian's men and assassins filled the entire mountain slope, and were in the midst of killing each other. Suddenly seeing the Zhan family troops charging over, they were all shocked and stopped fighting. When the Zhan family assassins saw that the castle master had arrived, they were all excited, but they were hiding their identities and didn't dare to cheer.

Old Hero Zhan stopped his horse and looked up the mountain slope with his long blade. He stroked his long beard and shouted as if he was possessed by Second Brother Guan, "Hey! How dare you thieves! How dare you attack this old man's guest in my Zhan family's territory! Kill them! "

Since he couldn't kill them, then he could only save them. Old Hero Zhan wanted to clear his name, so he could only do this.
