Chapter 297: Poison Failure
His fighting style was the same as before. He first shot Xiao Mo's carriage with a bow and arrow, and then shot the guards around it.
Xiao Mo, who was riding a horse in front, immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Ye Jintang when he heard Ye Jintang's horn.
Ye Jintang doesn't know Kung Fu, and it would be very dangerous if he were to encounter a sneak attack. His heart was so nervous that he wanted to rush to Ye Jintang immediately.
Xiao Mo was dressed in ordinary black clothes, blending in with the chaotic crowd. Zhou Quankun's men didn't notice him at all and were only focused on shooting arrows at his carriage.
The leader Zhou Quankun did not expect that Xiao Mo could get out of the wheelchair and ride a horse, so he did not notice him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Mo ran towards Ye Jintang desperately.
But one was in front of the team and the other was behind, and there were arrows flying in the air, so it was impossible to run away just because you wanted to.
Just when Xiao Mo saw Ye Jintang's figure, several sharp arrows flew in front of her. Although the guards tried their best to protect her, they were careless and a hidden arrow flew towards Ye Jintang's side.
"Jintang."
Xiao Mo's heart almost stopped beating with shock. He roared, squeezed his horse's belly, and rushed towards her desperately.
In a flash, Ye Jintang raised her hand and swung it hard, and the hidden arrow that had already reached her side was cut into two by the long sword, and the arrow head almost brushed her cheek.
Before Xiao Mo in the distance could even breathe a sigh of relief, another arrow came at him.
Ye Jintang rode on the horse, waving the sword in her hand a little clumsily. Every time she was able to take timely action to resolve the danger when she was in the most dangerous situation.
Xiao Mo, who was running fast, finally ran over. He held a long sword in his hand and helped Ye Jintang shoot away the flying arrow, protecting her behind him.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, could finally settle down.
Xiao Mo's loud movement was soon discovered by Zhou Quankun who was standing on a high place. He never expected that Xiao Mo's legs were not completely disabled.
He can actually ride a horse?
"Tianqing, Xiao Mo is at the end of the team, wearing black brocade clothes. Take a few people to kill him quickly."
"Yes."
Du Tianqing had been using bows and arrows to attack Shi Bin and others who were better at martial arts. When he received the order, he immediately led his men to rush towards the location of Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang.
At the same time, Shi Bin also immediately sent a distress flare into the air. Duan Feng's team was very close to them and would soon come to support them.
Zhou Quankun suffered a loss from the thunder bomb last time, so this time he ambushed closer to Shi Bin, hoping to give him a surprise attack and prevent them from using the thunder bomb.
But he still underestimated Shi Bin's ability. The thunder bomb he held was even smaller than the last time, and he specifically threw it at people.
Anyone injured by a thunderbolt bomb will either die or be injured, and will basically lose all combat effectiveness immediately.
The power of the thunder bomb is reduced, and after hitting a person, the people next to him will hardly be affected.
There were some servants, grooms, and even maids who didn't know martial arts. They all hid behind the guards and used the slingshots in their hands to sneak attack the men in black who were closer to them.
With the help of the slingshot, the lethality of the small thunder bomb is greatly enhanced.
Zhou Quankun, who had been staring at the battlefield, frowned. It had been quite a while, why hadn't Xiao Mo become unconscious yet?
Was there something wrong with his poison?
Zhou Quankun glanced at the fire that was still emitting white smoke, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Pour all the poison in. I don't believe Xiao Mo still has nine lives. Even so many poisons can't kill him."
"Boss, these poisons will also affect our people, why don't we release them later."
"What nonsense! We don't know how many men and horses we will lose in a while. Didn't you see the thunder bombs they used? Each one can kill someone."
The minions didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow Zhou Quankun's instructions.
When they came for the surprise attack, Yao Zhen gave each of them an antidote pill and asked them to take it in advance, saying that it could detoxify. But she also said that some people's physical fitness was not good, and even after taking the antidote, they would still be poisoned if they smelled the poison.
That's why she instructed Zhou Quankun to release the poisonous smoke in advance, and as for the first-line throat, it should be used if possible. This poison was too strong, and she was afraid that her antidote would not be able to completely neutralize it.
Zhou Quankun, who was already blood-thirsty, no longer cared about too much at this time. As long as he could kill Xiao Mo, it didn't matter if a few of his men died.
New poisonous smoke flew into the sky and quickly spread.
Zhou Quankun stared at Xiao Mo intently.
Xiao Mo riding on the horse was like a descending god of war, and almost no man in black could get close to him.
Anyone who gets a little close to him will be ruthlessly harvested by the sword in his hand.
Even someone with great kung fu skills like Du Tianqing didn't dare to rush forward rashly.
"Everyone cover your mouth and nose, the other side has released poison again."
Ye Jintang was very keenly aware that the smell of poison in the air had changed.
She turned her head to look at the nearby forest, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Quankun and some people standing upwind and looking at them.
Ye Jintang wanted to shoot an arrow at Zhou Quankun, but the bow in her hand was not a strong one and could not shoot that far.
She was a little annoyed. She would definitely buy herself a stronger bow someday, and she would also learn to shoot an arrow through the bow from a hundred paces away.
The poisonous smoke drifted into the battlefield. After a while, Zhou Quankun did not see any of Xiao Mo's men being poisoned to death. Instead, several people on his side suddenly fell to the ground and could not get up.
Zhou Quankun's eyes were full of cruelty, but fortunately he had two plans and did not put all his hopes on the poison.
He took out a bamboo flute from his arms and started to blew it. Then he heard the sound of running coming from the forest not far away. After a while, a group of bandits ran out of the forest with swords and knives.
A burly man standing on a high place laughed loudly, "Brother Zhou, I told you that you would definitely need me."
"Mr. Song, as you said, 55 points after the matter is completed."
"Okay, it's a deal."
With a wave of his hand, more than 100 men under Song's command rushed into the melee team from the mountain like a flood.
At the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, and Xiao Mo's people were under no pressure. But with the addition of bandits, one guard had to fight 2 to 3 enemies, and they found it a bit difficult.
"It seems that the prince's guess was correct. Zhou Quankun is still colluding with the bandits."
Seeing so many bandits coming, Ye Jintang felt a little worried, fearing that they would die before they could get support.
"They are just a bunch of rabble. My men have all been through rigorous training and have seen life and death on the battlefield. These bandits only bully the passing merchants and civilians. They have never seen real swords and guns."
"Don't worry, Jintang. This is just a small incident. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Xiao Mo really didn't take a hundred bandits seriously, but if they were a hundred Western Rong people, the battle would be difficult for them.
