Today's Taishan is far less convenient than that of future generations.

There are no stairs leading directly to the mountain, so you can only rely on a temporary road to climb up to the top of the mountain with difficulty.

Fengchan Taishan is a test of the emperor's personal ability. If the ability is not good enough, he can't even climb up. Even if someone lifts him up, the lifting process will make him choke. It is not that easy.

Ying Zheng walked on the mountain road very easily. Having practiced the Secret of Immortality, he felt no pressure and could enjoy the scenery of the mountain while climbing.

"This is Mount Tai, not bad!"

Ying Zheng looked at the nearby scenery and smiled with satisfaction.

The ten people who followed were guarding him every step of the way. Now that they were climbing up, they were already a certain distance away, and no assassins had appeared yet. On the surface, it looked very safe.

Ying Zheng asked again: "According to our speed, how long will it take to reach the top of the mountain for Zen?"

Gai Nie raised his head and looked at the towering mountain peaks: "We won't be able to get there until noon tomorrow, and we have to humiliate Your Majesty and spend a night in the wild. But it's not easy to get down the mountain, it will also take more than two days."

“Very good!”

Ying Zheng did not feel displeased with sleeping in the wild. Instead, he looked forward to it: "I have not experienced such a simple outdoor life for many years. I basically spent this time on the road back to Qin from Zhao."

He was still full of emotion when he mentioned the past events, as if it happened just yesterday, and said: "Let's go!"

After resting for a while, everyone continued climbing up.

Ying Zheng walked like flying, without any pressure, very relaxed.

Bai Zhong and others were by his side, and two more guards came forward to clear the way. The climbing speed was not slow. If Mount Tai had such good conditions as those of later generations, we could reach the top on the same day without spending the night.

By evening, they had only walked about two-thirds of the way.

The height of the climb is getting higher and higher, and the temperature is getting lower.

Bai Zhong lit a fire, simply heated the dry food they carried, and prepared it for dinner. At the same time, he asked people to investigate nearby to beware of enemy ambush and so on.

"Jun Wu An is too cautious."

Ying Zheng felt that there should be no danger nearby.

Bai Zhong smiled and said: "It's better to be cautious. Your Majesty's status is important and nothing can happen to you."

Gai Nie agreed: "I will patrol in person later. Please rest, Your Majesty!"

After simply eating something, Gai Nie really picked up his sword and patrolled the area, especially the grass around him and the places where people could hide. He checked them all to make sure there would be no problems.

There was no condition to set up a tent here, so Ying Zheng sat on the ground or rested with his back against tree trunks or stones.

Soon it was late at night.

When Gai Nie came back after walking around for a while, Bai Zhong asked, "What's wrong?"

"Safety!"

Ganie said.

It's good to be safe, the worst thing is to worry about any accidents.

The incident of Feng Chan Taishan made them tense up and did not dare to relax. They did not rest and sleep. They listened to the chirping of insects around them and waited quietly for the night to end.

It's late at night.

There was silence on the mountain.

It was like deathly silence, except for the beating of the fire around them and the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

"wrong!"

Ganie said suddenly.

Bai Zhong immediately stood up, glanced around first, and then used his hearing to monitor the nearby movements. There seemed to be no problem, so he asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Gai Nie said in a deep voice: "It's too quiet!"

There were insects buzzing just now, but I don't know when it started. All the sounds disappeared, and the surroundings were a bit scary. This situation was very wrong and gave him an uneasy feeling.

He added: "Wu Anjun has never been a ranger and has not experienced as many things as I have. It is difficult to understand what kind of crises are hidden behind this kind of tranquility."

After hearing this, the ten guards all unsheathed their swords and gathered around Ying Zheng, all looking outside.

Ying Zheng was awakened and asked: "What happened?"

However, before Gai Nie could respond, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness and approached Ying Zheng unexpectedly. The light struck from behind Ying Zheng and turned into a sword light the next moment.

A man in black appeared out of thin air.

In Bai Zhong's sight, this person really appeared out of thin air, without any warning, as if he suddenly walked out of the air, his movements were so light that even his own senses and hearing were deceived by the other person.

As soon as the man in black appeared, he stabbed Ying Zheng from behind with a sword.

"Your Majesty, get down!"

Bai Zhong exclaimed and kicked up the stone next to him.

call!

The stone broke through the air and hit the man in black.

Ying Zheng had a tacit understanding. The moment he heard Bai Zhong's shout, he ducked down.

Bang!

The man in black failed in his sneak attack and hit the flying stone with his sword.

Eight of the ten guards quickly guarded Ying Zheng, and two others raised their swords and attacked the man in black. The sword flashed with a cold light, which was particularly obvious in the dark night.

The man in black waved his sword to resist and continued to attack Ying Zheng, but Ge Nie had already stepped forward.

Gai Nie's sword was very fast. With one strike, the sword light surged and swept everything.

Bai Zhong followed behind Gai Nie, and the knife in his hand completely locked the retreat route of the man in black.

Even if the opponent can dodge Gai Nie's sword, he can never dodge Bai Zhong's sword. Under the attack of two masters, no matter how strong you are, you can only wait for death.

However, the man in black is different.

Bai Zhong and Gai Nie still couldn't see any movement from the other side.

This person disappeared very suddenly, without warning, or disappeared out of thin air, as if blending into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye, without even a shadow.

When the two of them saw this scene, they stepped back at the same time and were extremely surprised.

This person who can disappear out of thin air is so miraculous that even Bai Zhong can't see through it. How does he disappear and how does he appear? This kind of movement is too scary, right?

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Bai Zhong immediately raised his perception to its highest level and returned to Ying Zheng's side to be alert.

The same was true for Gai Nie, who said in a deep voice: "We have encountered a difficult enemy. His elusive movement poses a great threat."

The other guards continued to surround him.

Ying Zheng shook his head to express that he was fine, and asked in surprise: "How did that assassin do it, come and go without a trace?"

This question is difficult for them to answer.

At this moment, Bai Zhong heard something subtle, breaking through the air, and quickly followed the sound and struck out with his sword.

clang!

Swords clash.

The person who made the sneak attack appeared from the right rear of Ying Zheng. Before the sneak attack could succeed, he was blocked by Bai Zhong. He immediately dodged back and disappeared without a trace.

It's like he will become invisible.

The second sneak attack and assassination was also blocked by them. It turned out that although this person's physical skills were powerful, he could not do whatever he wanted and could still find him through his voice.
