Seeing that Li Tieniu had left the tavern, the Jianghu people looked at each other in dismay.
At this moment, even some people without cultivation could hear that a large group of people was rushing over. At the same time, there were shouts and cries, mixed with the sound of horse hooves. It was very tragic!
"Let's go out and take a look!"
Accompanied by the sound of weapons being unsheathed, a few Jianghu people picked up their weapons and left the tavern. However, more people were still doing their own things. Some were even observing their surroundings and considering their retreat.
In this era of war, it was better to avoid trouble!
If he got involved in something he shouldn't have, it wouldn't be worth it to lose his life!
A moment later, Li Tieniu opened the curtain and came in. He sat at the table and cursed. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"Major, guess what I saw?”
He did not lower his voice when he said this. Immediately, the other people in the tavern pricked up their ears and listened attentively. For a moment, they were extremely quiet.
"Speak!" Yan Chen said calmly.
"A group of soldiers is chasing after the refugees!”" Hmph!" Li Tieniu snorted." Judging from the flag, they seem to be Liu Futong's subordinates. Damn it, this bastard is not going to fight. If there's a chance, I must teach him a lesson!"”
What was that?
Liu Futong's Revolutionary Army had arrived?
Hearing Li Tieniu's words, the expressions of the others in the tavern instantly changed!
A few people who were already planning their escape route stood up and prepared to leave.
It wasn't uncommon for the Revolutionary Army to hunt down refugees. To put it bluntly, it was always the winner who took the throne in the fight for the world. Whether it was the Revolutionary Army or the government, they were not good men or women. They would do anything to snatch gold, silver, and grain!
The government sometimes had to pretend to be benevolent, while the rebel army was even more fearless.
It was difficult to deal with these people!
"Liu Futong?" Qin San frowned and looked at Yan Chen." Young Marshal, this…"
"There's more!" Li Tieniu wiped away the wine stains from the corner of his mouth." Young Marshal, do you still remember that Emei Sect disciple on our White Mountain a few days ago? He was the one you held back many times…"
"Zhou Zhiruo?"
"Yes, yes, it's her who led this group of refugees to escape. Although she's not injured, it looks like she's exhausted a lot. The soldiers are chasing her closely, so she probably doesn't look good!”
Yan Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Zhou Zhiruo to be here as well. He raised his hand and downed the wine in his cup. He then raised his hand and picked up the sword on the table." Let's go and take a look!"”
"Yes, sir!"
When the personal guards heard that such a thing had happened right under their noses, they were already filled with righteous indignation. At this moment, they did not hesitate to pull out their weapons and follow!
Half a mile away, on the official road!
Hundreds of refugees were surrounded by their families, old and young, and they were struggling to escape on the official road that was covered in snow. Behind them, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. More than a hundred cavalry of the rebel army were waving their sabers and chasing after them!
Shouts of killing and cries of pain could be heard without end. The light of swords and sabers flashed, and blood splattered everywhere!
"Hahaha... Let's see where you can run to."
A bearded man raised his saber with a sinister smile and swung it down.
Swoosh!
The blade drew a snow-white arc in the air and went straight for the back of an old man's neck!
Seeing that the old man was about to die on the spot, a long sword suddenly flew over with an extremely clear aura. With a clang, the downward slash of the saber was deftly deflected by this long sword!
Then, the long sword turned like lightning and stabbed into the man's chest. The man screamed in pain, and his ferocious face instantly turned into fear as he fell off the horse!
"Everyone, run!"
The person who struck out with the sword was Zhou Zhiruo!
The current her was the same as that day on White Mountain. She was delicate and elegant, beautiful beyond the mortal world. However, there was bright red blood that dyed her white clothes red, giving off a murderous feeling.
After Zhou Zhiruo blocked the attack, her face turned pale once again. She turned around and dodged the arrows that were shooting at her from afar. She struck out with her sword again and saved another person!
Although these soldiers of the Revolutionary Army did not have any martial arts, they were all strong adult men. Whether it was their wrist strength or arm strength, they were all top-notch. Even though her sword skills were exquisite, she still felt a faint numbness from the impact!
She was originally on her way to the Han River to pay her respects to her father. When she suddenly saw many refugees being chased by the rebel army, she naturally had no reason to ignore them!
Unknowingly, Zhou Zhiruo had already protected the refugees and escaped to the entrance of the restaurant. There, a group of martial artists stopped to watch.
She was delighted!
There was hope!
"Heroes, I am Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect. These volunteer troops are chasing after the people along the way. They are cruel and heartless.!”
Her internal energy was not weak. Although she was injured and lacked energy, her voice still spread far and wide.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Such brutality, they were indeed the Revolutionary Army!
"Disciples of the Emei Sect? Didn't the six major sects want to be enemies with the Ming Cult? Why did they go against the Revolutionary Army?"
"I'm not sure. I think she's alone. If Mistress Annihilation is here, hehe…"
"A great teacher produces an outstanding disciple! This little girl's chivalrous heart was worthy of respect!”
"Shh…With so many rebel soldiers, they were unreasonable. If they were to speak nonsense, be careful of their heads!”
Seeing the refugees fleeing and crying, none of these people in the martial world had any intention of making a move!
Their cultivation levels were not high. They might be able to win against these rebel soldiers one-on-one, but if they were to face four or five of them at the same time, they would definitely lose!
These people with low cultivation were able to gain a foothold in the martial world by observing their expressions and acting according to the situation.
Now that the Revolutionary Army was powerful, no one wanted to touch this bad luck!
Zhou Zhiruo watched as they pointed at each other and laughed, but no one stepped forward. Her heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
A look of despair flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into determination!
A long sword was swung again. With two crisp clangs, the weapons in the hands of the two rebel soldiers were knocked away again!
Cha--
"Ah!"
"B * tch, you're courting death!"
At the same time, Zhou Zhiruo's face turned even paler. Her white clothes were dyed red once again!
However, her gaze was determined and she did not care about her own consumption at all. From the looks of it, she was actually planning to gamble her life to protect these people and leave!
Seeing this scene, the martial artists who were watching from the side shook their heads, but most of them were blushing.
They wanted to help, but they didn't have the courage!
They didn't dare to make a move at all!
"Cough cough…Miss Zhou, it's better for you to leave quickly. At the risk of your life, how could these commoners escape from the horses of the army?”
An old man could not keep his face and could only persuade him.
Zhou Zhiruo's battle became even more intense. She didn't have time to reply, but the longsword in her hand became even faster!
" Sigh, the Emei Sect's chivalrous heart is admirable, but they don't know how to judge the situation. What a pity…" Another person shook his head and sighed.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, a cold snort came from the crowd!
This voice was not loud, but it was like a great bell that shook everyone's hearts!
Yan Chen's gaze was extremely cold. He took a step forward and walked out of the crowd!
"A hypocrite who claims to be chivalrous…"
Clang!
The Dragon Abyss was unsheathed!
"Get lost!"
Yan Chen's profound inner energy was infused into the extremely cold 'scram' word. Everyone felt their eardrums tremble and could not help but take two steps back!
Even the warhorses of the Revolutionary Army began to panic and retreat when they heard this roar!
The atmosphere in the air was silent for a moment. Suddenly, the pupils of the old man who was the first to speak in the crowd constricted. He pointed at Yan Chen and exclaimed.
"This sword…You, you are…"
" You're Yan Chen!!"
