Cypress Boat Floating

The road ahead is long, with jackals, tigers and leopards all around. Ye Honghai pretends to know nothing and continues to follow Liang Kai as usual.

Although he knew that there was no way back, he still held a glimmer of faith in his heart before taking the last step. He thought that the man would remember their friendship in their youth, their comradeship of life and death, and her loyalty to him of never marrying or returning to Beijing, so she would have a little more trust in him and would not be easily provoked by others. At least, she would wait until he returned before dealing with him.

"Commander, this is clean water." During a break, an accompanying soldier handed Liang Kai a bottle of water that had just been brought from the river.

Liang Kai took the water and walked straight to Ye Honghai who was sitting and resting not far away: "General, you have worked hard all the way, drink some water."

Ye Honghai looked at the water. The water in the bowl was clean and dust-free. It should have been drawn from the river. However, this water had passed through the hands of several people. Ye Honghai could not guarantee whether some of these people would want to kill him.

He smiled at Liang Kai, took the bowl of water but did not move: "How long will it take to get to the next city?"

Liang Kai looked ahead, then looked down at the map in his hand: "According to the current progress, it will take another two days."

"Two days... is a bit slow. Let's speed up and try to finish it in a day and a half. The longer we stay in the wild, the more unsafe it will be." Ye Honghai frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

His sixth sense was always very good, and he often relied on it to avoid many hidden arrows on the battlefield. So, when his sixth sense suddenly erupted and he suddenly felt danger, he immediately stood up and left the position just now, and spilled the water in his hand.

Just as he stood up, a sharp arrow shot from a distance to the place where he was just now.

"Be alert, be alert." Liang Kai, who was stunned by Ye Honghai's sudden action, shouted immediately when he saw the arrow.

At this time, no matter you are closing your eyes to rest or chatting and eating, put down what you are holding and find cover to hide yourself as soon as possible.

"Hide well." As soon as Ye Honghai stood up, he saw a relatively sturdy tree that could barely block them. Before Liang Kai could react, he pulled him and ran towards the tree.

The river water was flowing not far away, and the waves were hitting the rocks on the shore.

Birds flew overhead, searching for their own rations.

The trees were still, the wind was still, and the air was hot. I don't know if it was due to the weather or psychological reasons, but one of the servants had beads of sweat on his forehead, and one or two drops of sweat flowed down his face and chin.

Snapped.

The same hidden arrow and sweat were shot out at the same time as before.

The arrow flew straight towards Ye Honghai, trying to take his life on the spot.

Liang Kai was using a long sword. When he was about to draw his sword, Ye Honghai picked up a branch on the ground and knocked away the arrow that was rushing towards him.

The arrow fell to the ground, and time seemed to be quiet for a moment.

soon.

A steady rain of arrows followed.

They no longer just wanted Ye Honghai's life, but planned to kill everyone present.

"Retreat, quickly." Ye Honghai and Liang Kai waved their weapons and commanded the few remaining soldiers to retreat.

The enemy's whereabouts and number are unknown, and it is obvious that they are well prepared. They are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark, and they cannot fight back. It is better to retreat and hide themselves to avoid the current crisis.

Although Ye Honghai's idea was good, he really didn't expect that there were so many people coming to assassinate him. Just as he was concentrating on dealing with the rain of arrows in front of him, there were sudden sharp shouts from several soldiers in the back.

With the help of Ye Honghai, Liang Kai looked back, frowned, and reported to Ye Honghai with a rather ugly expression: "General, there are people in the rear, and we are attacked from all sides. What should we do?"

Ye Honghai glanced back and saw a lot of people coming from behind, all of them strong and healthy.

Ye Honghai raised his chin and said, "Spread out to the left and right. Don't gather together, as it's easy to get surrounded."

As he said that, he led his men to run to the left. The rain of arrows in front stopped, as if they saw the direction Ye Honghai left, and a group of people collected their arrows and chased in the direction Ye Honghai left.

"Disperse and hide." Although there were not many people behind him, they were very conspicuous when gathered together in this small bush. Ye Honghai had no choice but to ask them to disperse and hide.

They have no reinforcements, and only these few are left, so everyone present should work together to deal with so many pursuers behind them.

Before Ye Honghai could give them more tactical instructions, the pursuers had already arrived. Seeing that they were only a few steps away, Ye Honghai gritted his teeth and turned around to face them.

"Hurry up and leave. Don't waste time here. Go find reinforcements." As he spoke, Ye Honghai had already pulled out the knife that had accompanied him for many years and walked into the crowd.

"General, I can't leave you alone." Liang Kai's eyes turned red when he saw this. He was not willing to let Ye Honghai face so many killers alone. He picked up his sword and rushed in to help.

However, before he entered the crowd, Ye Honghai slapped him and said, "Don't be childish. Now is not the time to play such a sentimental game. If you go back to Yedu City now, you can still find reinforcements to help you."

"But, General..." Liang Kai wanted to say something, but was glared back by Ye Honghai. Seeing Ye Honghai fighting in and out alone, he felt reluctant, but Ye Honghai still cruelly drove him away. He had no choice but to listen to Ye Honghai's arrangement and return to Yedu City to ask for help.

We can't be fussy at this moment. We must make decisive decisions in order to better help Ye Honghai.

Most of the soldiers who came with them were killed, leaving only two or three. Liang Kai arranged for two people to stay and help Ye Honghai, while he took the other one, the soldier who had just helped Liang Kai fetch water, back to Yedu City to ask for help.

The knife goes in and out.

Ye Honghai relied on his excellent body skills to go in and out of the crowd three times without being hurt. The reason why he dared to let Liang Kai and others leave was that he felt that he had enough ability to deal with these people behind him. He was confident that he could hold on until Liang Kai came back to find reinforcements, but the two people who were just left behind by Liang Kai had already died under the knife.

Ye Honghai had always been very kind to his soldiers. Seeing the two of them die here, he felt even more unbearable and vented all his anger on the newcomers.

This large group of killers were naturally no match for Ye Honghai if they fought alone, but they attacked together and cooperated well. Even though Ye Honghai chopped a few of them at the beginning, he was still injured over time.

But in the end he was still more powerful, and he only suffered a few injuries in exchange for the other side losing nearly two-thirds of their men.

Even after killing so many enemies, Ye Honghai did not feel tired. He felt that his whole body was still full of strength. This was obviously a good thing, but his brows were furrowed more and more, and his expression became more and more serious.

Just as he raised the knife and was about to chop down, suddenly.

It felt as if someone was holding his heart tightly, making it hard for him to breathe. The hand holding the sword loosened its grip, and the sword instantly fell from a height to his feet.

His face turned purple and he covered his chest tightly with his hands. He wanted to move but couldn't.

He watched helplessly as the opponent's leader's knife stabbed into his body at the slowest speed. The tip of the knife stirred inside his body. He felt his internal organs being crushed. There was a blood clot in his throat that he wanted to vomit but couldn't. His throat was blocked by the blood. He widened his eyes and slowly fell down.

The leader of the men in black kicked away the sword at his feet, squatted beside him, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If you want to blame someone, blame him for not believing you."

His words were gentle, but the sharp blade in his hand never stopped. As long as the person on the ground was still breathing, he could not relax for a moment.

Ye Honghai is too strong.

Even someone as strong as Ye Honghai died.

He died on the way back to Beijing to be convicted.

Died when he was in disgrace.

In the distance, the soldier who had filled water for Ye Honghai in the morning walked slowly towards him, holding the unconscious Liang Kai in his arms.

Putting Liang Kai aside, he knelt down beside Ye Honghai and covered his unwilling eyes.

"General Ye, have a safe journey!"

"General Ye, have a safe journey!" The men in black behind him took off their masks and lowered their heads to mutter silently.
