The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 315 Hostages (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
In a canyon, several figures passed by quickly.

Behind them, a team of a thousand people was chasing them.

That team was well-equipped and strong. They kept raising crossbows and shooting while chasing.

With the sound of breaking through the air, crossbow arrows shot at the figures in front.

That's when.

Boom!

A loud and earth-shattering roar was heard.

A giant nine feet tall fell from the sky and landed heavily in the canyon.

In an instant, powerful force was unleashed.

Soldiers were blown up one by one.

Just as the giant charged into the team of a thousand people, hundreds of people suddenly appeared on the other side of the canyon.

The hundreds of people and the giants were in front and behind, sandwiching the team of a thousand people in the center.

The sound of fighting echoed in the valley, and just an incense stick of time later, the valley was littered with corpses.

An elite force of a thousand men had been wiped out.

The giant returned to his normal size, took out a piece of clothing and put it on. Who else could it be but Su Mu?

At this time, the few people who had fled earlier also climbed up from the ground.

They removed the iron plates behind their backs, which blocked the crossbow arrows and saved their lives.

Everyone quickly searched the corpses, collecting all the useful supplies and even stripping off the armor of the soldiers.

Their movements were very skillful, as if they had done it many times.

After cleaning the bodies, they quickly set a fire, burning the bodies and traces of battle cleanly, and then everyone's figures quickly disappeared into the forest.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Ever since Su Mu decided to turn around and head towards Yuzhou, the soldiers who were chasing and blocking them were completely confused.

After passing through five gates and defeating six generals, they finally arrived at the border between Yuzhou and Xiangzhou.

As long as they cross the mountain in front, they can enter Jingzhou, Yuzhou.

The team of a thousand people just now was the garrison guarding the border between the two states.

Su Mu sent people to lure them over and then annihilated them in one fell swoop.

"According to previous experience, it will take at most half a day for Prince Su's people to react."

Su Mu stood on a huge rock, and below him were people who were taking a quick rest and bandaging their wounds.

There were originally 524 people in their group, but now there are only 487 left.

Most of these people are disciples of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture. They have various backgrounds. The rest are from the Taiping Division, Supervisory Division and Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture.

In terms of cultivation, the weakest among them is at the Blood Exchange Realm, and the strongest is at the True Essence Realm.

The largest number is in the state of rebirth.

Even so, they lost a lot of people after several battles.

And all this is just the beginning.

Because they headed towards Yuzhou unexpectedly, they avoided a head-on collision with the army that was encircling them.

The battles along the way were actually just like the one just now, with only a team of a thousand people at most.

But after entering Yuzhou, they must be prepared to encounter Prince Su's army at any time.

"We have a quarter of an hour to rest, and then we will enter Yuzhou."

Su Mu said slowly, "Everyone, we are not dogs that have lost their homes. We are not going to Yuzhou to escape, we are going to give King Su a head-on blow!"

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Su Mu, with excitement on their faces.

At first they were full of doubts about Su Mu's words, but now, they no longer doubt it.

All along the way, the army that was chasing and blocking them was always chasing after them, which showed that Su Mu's strategy was correct.

The successive victories gave everyone confidence.

What's wrong with fewer people?
They are few in number, but they are strong enough.

And because there are fewer people, they can respond more flexibly.

Who knows, this team might be able to go straight in and capture Prince Su Li Shu.

"Fuck you!"

Everyone waved their fists and roared with great enthusiasm.

…………

Xiangzhou provincial capital.

The person in charge of leading the army to attack Xiangzhou was a general under Prince Su, named Hu Baidao.

There was a sand table in front of him at this moment.

The terrain on the sand table is exactly the entire Xiangzhou.

At this moment, there are several small red flags on the sand table.

If Su Mu were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the places with small flags were the routes they had taken all the way.

"It actually went in the direction of Yuzhou. What a surprise victory."

Hu Baidao whispered to himself, "This is beyond my expectations.

If I really let you enter Yuzhou, then I, Hu Baidao, will be completely disgraced."

He snorted coldly, picked up a small blue flag in his hand, and stuck it at the border between Xiangzhou and Yuzhou.

"Someone, bring the prisoners from the Taiping Division here."

Hu Baidao said coldly, "I want to see if they will only care about their own lives and not care about the lives of these people."

…………

Su Mu and his group traveled through the mountains and forests, and saw Yuzhou right in front of them.

Although Su Mu did not understand the art of war, he had heard about Taizu's deeds in his previous life. Some of these were enough to make Prince Su's army eat dust behind him.

Just as Su Mu was looking in the direction of Yuzhou, thinking about how to teach King Su a lesson next, suddenly, a sharp sound of an arrow was heard.

Su Mu turned his head and his face suddenly darkened.

The rest of the Taiping Division members performed the same action as him.

"The Taiping Division's distress signal!"

The person who spoke was the pacification commissioner of the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou Prefecture, named Niu Wu.

"Su Zhenfu, something is wrong. Xiangzhou has been completely occupied. The Taipingsi of each prefecture have either died in battle or been taken prisoner. How could anyone here ask for help?"

Niu Wu said in a deep voice.

During their escape, they had been trying to contact the Taiping Divisions in various places.

But there was no response.

Judging from the information we have gathered, the situation of the Taiping Departments in various prefectures is not optimistic.

hum!
Before he finished speaking, the Taiping Division badge on his waist suddenly vibrated.

He picked up the badge, and the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"Bastard!"

With a crack, Niu Wu punched a tree next to him.

The tree, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, was broken by his punch.

Su Mu was also holding the Taiping Division badge, and the murderous intent on his face was almost impossible to conceal.

"what happened?"

Mo Xuesong and others looked at the direction of the signal arrow and asked in a deep voice.

"Despicable, shameless!"

Niu Wu was so angry that his face turned red and he cursed while shaking all over.

"what happened?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Some people from the Taiping Division fell into the hands of Prince Su, and he used those people's lives to threaten us to show up."

Su Mu said slowly, "They just used the Taiping Division's waist badge to give us an ultimatum. If we don't get to the place where the arrows were fired within an hour, then they will kill one person from the Taiping Division every incense stick of time."

Su Mu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He had thought about many things, but he had never expected that Prince Su's people would be so unscrupulous.

The Taiping Division slays demons and protects the peace of Daxuan. They are all heroes of Daxuan!

Even if you, Prince Su Li Shu, want to ascend the throne, you should not humiliate the Taiping Division like this.

After hearing Su Mu's words, everyone looked at each other.

"This is too much."

Mo Xuesong muttered to himself, "I've never seen anyone so shameless."

"How to do?"

A young man from a noble family said hesitantly, "It's obviously a trap. If you go there, you will definitely die."

But don't go -

No one can say such words.

There is no other reason, I just feel ashamed.

"Wu Yiqi!"

Su Mu was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"exist!"

Wu Yiqi responded subconsciously.

"From now on, you will lead everyone."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Follow the planned route and be careful. You have a great chance of escaping Yuzhou."

"what?"

Wu Yiqi was confused and didn't understand what he meant.

"People from the Taiping Division, step out!"

Su Mu shouted.

Niu Wu, Luo Anning and others stood up one after another.

Everyone seemed to understand something.

"Everyone, it is my honor to have fought alongside you all along the way. Now, it is time to say goodbye."

Su Mu said slowly, "We will handle the affairs of the Taiping Division ourselves. Let's not move on for now."

Niu Wu, Luo Anning and others stood behind Su Mu silently without saying a word. They did not hesitate or have any questions.

He smiled at Xiaoyuan and walked towards Luo Anning.

"Although I am not a Taiping school lieutenant, I am a family member of the Taiping Division's pacification envoy, so I should be considered one of our own."

She said somewhat playfully.

"Calculate."

Luo Anning said seriously.

"So does this old slave."

Shi Ziran also stood behind Su Mu.

"you--"

Wu Yiqi frowned and looked at Su Mu.

"I--"

"go!"

Before Wu Yiqi could speak, Su Mu turned around and waved.

The people from the Taiping Division, a total of more than sixty people, all followed Su Mu and quickly disappeared in the direction of the signal arrows.

Only Wu Yiqi, Mo Xuesong, Huo Zhenting, Yang Zheng and others were left standing there in a daze, looking at each other.

"How could they be so stupid? It was obviously a trap."

A student from the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture muttered to himself, "They are just going to die."

"Prince Su's army must have noticed our intentions, so they chose to attack here. Let alone them, even if we are included, it will be a dead end."

"Kindness is not good for commanding troops. Lord Su is still too soft-hearted. At this moment, he should ignore everything and rush to Yuzhou first to capture Prince Su Li Shu."

"How do you know that if we go to Yuzhou, we will definitely be able to capture Prince Su Li Shu? Lord Su has no other choice."

Everyone whispered.

Wu Yiqi looked at Mo Xuesong, Huo Zhenting, Yang Zheng and others, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think we should do?"

"I don't care about the big principles. I just know that I owe him my life."

Mo Xuesong said, “You guys go, I’ll go over and take a look, maybe I can save him once.”

"In my sword sect, we prefer to seek the straight path rather than the crooked one."

Yang Zheng smiled casually, "Anyway, my Sword Sect still has Senior Brother Lu, so it doesn't matter even if I die.

I can fight vigorously and die without regrets."

"If you say that, it's easy to lose everything."

Huo Zhenting sighed.

"Those who are willing to go can continue walking now. The planned route is here."

Wu Yiqi held up a map and said in a deep voice, "If anyone is willing to go with me to rescue Su Mu and the others, then follow me."

There was a commotion among the crowd.

After a while, the crowd split into two groups.

One wave had more than two hundred people, and the other wave had only about a hundred people.

The hundred or so people stood beside Wu Yiqi.

"Everyone, take care."

Wu Yiqi bowed.

…………

Su Mu stopped suddenly and raised his hand.

The people behind him stopped immediately, and almost no sound was made.

This is the experience gained from fighting my way through.

A gleam of light flashed in Su Mu's eyes, and the world in front of him changed in various ways in his eyes.

Colorful lines filled his pupils.

Miraculous skills, the source of Qi.

Ahead, dense lines filled the air.

There were a large number of warriors gathered there, and they even affected the distribution of the energy of heaven and earth.

Obviously, that was the trap set by Prince Su's army.

Su Mu turned his head and looked at everyone, and said slowly, "Everyone, with our current strength, I'm afraid we can't rescue our captured comrades."

"So what? It's just death!"

Niu Wu said solemnly, “When we joined the Taiping Division, we had already thought of this day.

Even if we can't save them, we can't just watch them die at the hands of villains."

Everyone knew that it was impossible for them to rescue the people.

They just rushed forward like moths to a flame, with no chance of survival at all.

But let them ignore everything and just run away for their own lives.

Even if they survive, they will not feel at peace.

The Taiping Division can die gloriously, but must not live in cowardice.

"I know everyone is not afraid of death."

Su Mu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You can die, but there is no need to die so meaninglessly.

We will be captured soon——"

"Surrender without a fight? Absolutely not!"

Niu Wu said sternly, “I know what you want to do.

You want to take advantage of their trick, get caught by them first, and then take the opportunity to rescue people and escape.

But have you ever thought about what would happen if we surrender and they kill us directly?
If that happens, we won’t even have a chance to resist.”

"They won't."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"Why are you sure they won't?"

Niu Wu said, "They have no bottom line at all."

"Because I am sure."

Su Mu said, "I know they have no bottom line, but the more people have no bottom line, the more they value their interests.

If the Taiping Division can be used by Prince Su, do you think Prince Su will still wipe out all the people in the Taiping Division?

The Taiping Division is the high-end combat force of Daxuan. What does the recognition of the Taiping Division mean to him? "

"No, absolutely not."

Niu Wu objected, "How can we, the Taiping Division, help a scum who is colluding with the monsters in the Demon Court?"

"Niu Zhenfu, believe me, this is just a temporary solution. As long as you listen to me, I am sure I can rescue all my comrades from Prince Su's hands."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

　The second update has been sent, and the third update is still being written. Give me an hour, it will be quick!
