"stop!"

An arrow roared through the silent forest.

"Ah!" As the arrows roared, one of the escaping Japanese trio was carried away by an arrow as fast as lightning. Under the huge thrust, he was pinned to a tree that only one or two people could embrace.

"Miss!" Murano and Yamashita immediately came to protect him, turned around and looked at the direction in which the arrow flew. Murano said angrily: "Damn it, how did they catch up so quickly!"

"What should I do?" Yamashita asked in panic, turning around to pull out the missing arrow.

"Hugh!" Another arrow roar sounded.

But with the sound of 'dang', Murano, who was already on guard, slashed at the flying arrow and missed it.

Swords and arrows collide.

Murano blocked the hidden arrow, but was also knocked away by the huge force, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Idiot." Murano scolded Yamashita: "They are all around. We have been surrounded. The top priority now is defense, not rescuing people."

Hearing this, Yamashita immediately turned around to defend himself. Murano wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, looked at the silent jungle around him and said, "Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up to see him? It is not the behavior of Zhang family members to hide their heads and show their tails."

In the village, a disdainful voice said: "A shady mouse, one day actually accuses others of hiding their heads and showing their tails? It's also interesting!"

Following the sound, the jungle in front of the three people dispersed, and several riders came slowly, approaching the three people a dozen steps away.

Seeing the visitor's attire, the three people in the village shrank and said: "Red-armored guards!"

The three of them knew that the Zhang family would definitely send someone to hunt them down, but they never thought that it would be the Red Armored Guards.

The surname of Bashu Zhang is the leader of the Danding sect among the five major sects of Dali Taoism, the [Taiyi Yang Sect].

As the leader of the Dao Sect, he has three armies under him: the Dao Guard Army, the Dao Guard Army, and the Guard Army, which are permitted by the royal family.

Among them, the chief of the guard army is stationed at the Fusang Sacred Mountain. The number of them is unknown. No one has ever stepped out of the Sacred Mountain. The world only knows that among them, those with the lowest cultivation level are all in the Guiyi Realm.

The Wei Dao Army is a patrol establishment composed of believers who believe in the Taiyang Sect. It is mainly responsible for patrolling Bashu and monitoring external forces. Its number is between 50,000 and 100,000. The cultivation levels are uneven, and none of them have the level of cultivation.

All circumstances exist.

Its composition is: sentry, defender, chief of guard, patrol envoy, patrol envoy, supervisor, left and right supervisor, and governor.

The Red Armored Guards belong to the third formation of the Dao Sect: the Red Armored Army.

It was originally composed of the core believers of the Taiyang Sect to eliminate the witchcraft in the Bashu land and to fight against those forces that coveted the Taiyang Sect in order to promote the Taoist orthodoxy.

After the unification of the world, the Taiyang Sect surrendered to the imperial court, was organized and reorganized, and became a completely military-style guard force.

After accepting military adaptation, it was divided into three parts: Red Armor Guards, Red Armor Guards, and Red Armor Guards.

Its red-armored guards are composed of monks who are mostly in the body refining realm and the qi nourishing realm. They are divided into three front, middle and rear guards, totaling 100,000 people.

Its red-armored guards are composed of elites selected from the red-armored guards.

They no longer use standard weapons, and each has his or her own proficiency. When fighting, they use groups or teams as combat units, with about 15,000 to 20,000 people.

The Red Armor Guards are the personal guards of the generals who are responsible for guarding the commander-in-chief of the Red Armor Army.

Their strength is extremely high, and they are mostly composed of elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles and above.

It also has the Wind Thunder Horse, which is also at the Guiyi Realm, as its mount, and its strength is terrifying.

Although its number is only about 5,000, it is said that on the earth, an army of a hundred can form an army, and an army of ten thousand can conquer the country. On the continent of Astia, only 500 people defeated the elite army of Chen Kingdom with 10,000 people.

Now that they saw that the people chasing their group were actually red-armored guards, the three of them immediately knew that there was no way to escape.

The red-armored guards not only represent strength, but also represent unparalleled pursuit capabilities.

Their mounts, the wind and thunder horses, galloped with the wind and thunder, and could run for three days and three nights without rest.

In that rout, the red-armored guards used 112 people to pursue and encircle them. They ran more than 3,000 miles in total and spent three days and two nights to capture the opponent's coach alive. And the leader of the team was in front of him.

The commander of the team: Zhang Hao.

The three of them were frightened, and Zhang Hao, the leader, said jokingly: "Young! Cute little mice, you can't run fast enough!"

When the three heard the words, the villagers and Yamashita sent a message: "Yamashita, you take Xiangzi away, and I will hold them back. You must take what happened at Fusang Mountain back to Japan and tell the adults that you must kill Zhang's destiny."

Otherwise, the future of Japan will never see the light of day."

"Murano!" Yamashita heard this, pursed his lips and replied, "Can we... really escape?"

"What we plan depends on people, and what we accomplish depends on God! Amaterasu will protect us." Murano responded while pulling out his knife and making an attack gesture.

"Does any of you want to play?" Seeing that the other party wanted to attack, Zhang Hao turned to ask Zhang Ye and Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin looked at Jingxiang who was nailed to the tree and said in a deep voice: "Eldest brother, second brother, they are all mine."

Zhang Hao and Zhang Ye looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Can you do it?"

Zhang Lin didn't reply. He directly drove his horse forward to express his feelings. He pointed at the spear and said: "Enemy generals all have names!"

Seeing this, Murano and Yamashita nodded slightly to each other. Murano stepped forward and said: "Qian Yuliu, Murano Jiro, the third prince invites you!"

Zhang Lin looked at each other and said: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, you can come together!"

Everyone in the village and at the foot of the mountain heard this and said angrily: "Third Prince, we respect you, but you speak so arrogantly. If your brother hadn't been here, would you still dare to speak like this?"

Zhang Lin said impatiently: "That's a long way to go!"

After saying this, Zhang Lin drove the wind and thunder horse, turned into a bolt of lightning, drew his gun and killed in the village.

His speed was like lightning, he was in front of Murano in the blink of an eye, and his spear stabbed Murano's chest with the force of breaking bamboo.

Seeing Zhang Lin's speed, Murano was shocked and raised his knife to parry as a conditioned reaction.

However, it is just like this: people borrow the power of horses, and horses strengthen people's power.

Although Murano withstood the blow, he was still unable to resist the impact of the man and horse united into one.

There was a loud "Bang!" and Murano was whipped out by Zhang Lin. He fell to the ground and vomited blood. Judging from the situation, his life or death was uncertain.

After Murano fell to the ground, an arrow flew out from the accompanying red-armored guard and went straight into his chest.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin ignored him, turned around on his horse and swept away, repelling Shanxia who jumped up behind him to attack.

Yamashita was repelled, and when he saw that Murano was not the enemy of Zhang Lin and Yihe, he said anxiously: "Miss Xiangzi, I'll hold them back, you can find an opportunity and leave quickly!"

Hearing this, Shizuka looked at Zhang Lin's gaze towards the two of them and smiled bitterly: "It's useless, Yamashita-kun, from the moment I'm exposed, we are destined to be unable to escape."

With that said, she pushed away the mountain and looked at Zhang Linda: "Jingxiang has met the Third Prince!"

Zhang Lin's expression moved slightly and he said: "Sister Jingxiang, why? Do you want to betray the Zhang family?"

"Betrayal?" Shizuka said with a bitter smile: "If I had a choice, I would rather be your maid for the rest of my life, but I have no choice. My bloodline destined us to be enemies."

"You can remain silent, or you can confess!"

Zhang Lindao: "Since you entered Nanfu at the age of four, for seventeen years, your father and others have always taken good care of you. Everyone regards you as..."

"Prince!" Jingxiang interrupted Zhang Lin and said: "Why should we deceive ourselves? If I were an undercover agent of other forces, I could enter the Zhang family's gate.

But I am a Japanese, and what flows in my body is the blood that has been entangled with the Zhang family for thousands of years and will not end until death.

From the moment they found me, it was destined that if our worlds intersected again, it would only end in life and death.

During my seventeen years of dormancy, I had only one mission, which was to destroy your Zhang family’s sacred Fuso tree. There was no choice between us.”

Jingxiang said, looked at where Zhang Hao was and said: "The reason why I talked so much to the Third Prince is just for one point.

In order for my clan to successfully hibernate for the past seventeen years and gain the Zhang family's trust, my bloodline was sealed as early as when I was born.

During these seventeen years of dormancy, for sixteen years, I always thought that I was an orphan of the red-armored martyr who was adopted by the Zhang family, and an ordinary maid.

The only special thing is that the status assigned to me by my tribe allows me to become the maid of the direct descendants of the Zhang family, that's all.

And I never understood how I was exposed.

How did you discover me from a maid whom you trust and treat as your relative?

I have been thinking about this for the past few days and am puzzled.

Your Majesty, considering that I am about to die, can you tell me?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile, and said to Zhang Lin: "Third brother, do it. If you can't do it, I have plenty of people to do it for you."

"No, I'll do it!"

Zhang Lin held the spear, looked at Shizuka and said, "What's your name?"

Shizuka smiled and said, "Does the Third Prince want to remember me?"

Zhang Lin gathered his momentum and said: "I have to know who deceived me. The account has not been settled yet!"

"Then forget it! Let's do it!" Shizuka smiled bitterly and looked at the person in front of her.

We have been together day and night for seventeen years, how can we let go of our feelings so easily?

Now they are facing each other with swords and swords, fighting to the death.

God's will plays tricks on people.

"I'll be quick! You won't be in pain!"

Zhang Lin looked at the person in front of him, feeling heartbroken and helpless.
