Game within game

Yan San nodded.

Although King Jin only asked him to keep Xiao Cheng alive and had no other requirements, since Gu Jian said so, he had no reason not to do it.

After all, Gu Jian is Lu Yaoyao's person, but what about Lu Yaoyao?

She was their future princess, the mistress of Prince Jin's Mansion, and even their prince had to listen to her.

How could Yan San not carry out the orders given by his future mistress?

While the two were discussing, the sound of fighting in the dense forest not far away gradually died out.

There was no way to completely crush the situation. Xiao Cheng couldn't even escape. He could only watch his men being killed one by one like a lamb.

After a while, only Xiao Cheng was left shivering.

The people of Zhen Guogong have surrounded him.

"You can't kill me."

"If you kill me, you will never cooperate with me, Prince Li's Mansion."

Xiao Cheng's voice was trembling.

Facing death, Xiao Cheng's little view of the city was not enough. At this time, when he looked at Duke Zhen Guo, he shivered.

After hearing his words, the Duke of Zhen Guo gave a faint sneer.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard dozens of sharp blasts of wind coming from the dense forest.

"My lord, be careful."

As soon as the people around Duke Zhen heard the noise, they all protected him. More than ten people held sharp blades in their hands to resist the arrows shot out of the dark forest.

"What's going on? Haven't his reinforcements been dealt with?"

The sudden change made the Duke of Zhen Guo look a little flustered.

There was nothing he could do. The fight with Xiao Cheng's men just now was a crushing one, but it was not without casualties on his side.

Now that I hear the movement of this arrow, there are at least fifty or sixty people coming, say seventy or eighty.

He had no backup plan. Faced with so many people hiding in the dark, even though he was as calm as he was, he had to panic.

"who?"

Dozens of figures immediately rushed out of the dense forest.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jian and Yan San in the distance were both stunned. They looked at each other and knew in their hearts that it was Tianzi Wei who had done this.

"It seems we are no longer needed."

The two of them continued to watch the show.

On the other side of the battlefield, when someone suddenly came out, Xiao Cheng was the happiest person. His first reaction was his reinforcements. It seemed that the Duke of Zhen just lied to him when he said that he had dealt with his reinforcements.

He just wants to make his people's hearts unstable, and he is really disgusting.

"Kill, let me kill them all."

Xiao Cheng roared with great enthusiasm, but the next moment, he saw a flash of sword light, and his expression on his ecstatic face was frozen.

His originally excited eyes were now filled with shock and disbelief.

The last thoughts in my mind were questions and confusion.

Isn't this my reinforcement? Why would you kill me?

The sudden scene also stunned Duke Zhen Guo, who had calmed down a little from the panic.

What's going on? Isn't this Xiao Cheng's reinforcements? Why.

This thought only appeared for a moment, and he suddenly thought, what kind of reinforcements are these and that? It is obvious that they are deadly evil spirits.

This is the evil spirit who plans to kill both of them in one fell swoop.

Emperor Hongwen must be Emperor Hongwen.

"This bastard is really not that easy to fool."

"Go quickly and don't get into trouble with them."

As soon as he said hello, the people under him quickly gathered their formation, protected him and broke out outside.

However, they were facing the Emperor's Guard. In order to carry out this mission, Emperor Hongwen was very willing to mobilize the most elite people from the Emperor's Guard.

And there were sixty-four people in total.

Not only were they superior in numbers, but Zhen Guogong's people had already gone through a battle before, and many of them were injured. At this time, facing such a wolf-like elite, they simply could not withstand it.

In almost every confrontation, someone will die.

More than fifty people walked out, but within a distance of twenty or thirty feet, most of them fell down.

"The two of you will protect the Lord and go first. The others will resist with me. You must allow the Lord to escape safely."

As soon as the people from Zhenguo Gong's side shouted, the formation immediately changed.

The emperor's guards opposite the prisoner were all very cold-blooded. They didn't say a word and just went ahead and did it anyway.

However, in less than a quarter of an hour, all those who were left behind were killed.

"Chase, remember not to kill him."

In the dark forest, the Duke of Zhen Guo was escorted by two guards and fled in a hurry.

"Emperor Hongwen, just wait. If I don't die this time, I will kill your whole family."

"Um?"

"who."

Suddenly there was another movement, and the two guards around him protected Duke Zhen Guo again.

"Mr. Zhen Guo? What did you do to our second son?"

As soon as these words came out, Duke Zhenguo's expression changed and he became a little frustrated.

There was really a hungry wolf chasing after me, and a Land Rover actually appeared in front of me.

He did have people block Xiao Cheng's reinforcements before, but this place is close to the north after all. Although Prince Li, the crown prince, has not yet mastered the Jinshi, Prince Li's palace has maintained a low profile over the years and has supported many people.

Although his interception was very successful, it was not without some fish slipping through the net.

Originally, he just thought about scaring Xiao Cheng so that he could escort him into the Northland honestly, and he never thought about killing him at all.

As for intercepting these people, the purpose is also to tell Prince Li's Mansion that they are not easy to mess with. If they want to cooperate, then cooperate well and don't make such a mess.

Of course, he also wanted to use Xiao Cheng as a hostage to bargain with Prince Li's Mansion.

But who would have thought that a pair of emperor's guards would come out halfway and mess up all his plans.

Now Xiao Cheng's second batch of reinforcements has arrived.

And Xiao Cheng is already dead.

"No, my father-in-law did not do anything to your second son. He is the emperor's guard. We were chased by the emperor's guard in the dense forest."

At this moment, I absolutely can't admit it, so I can only kill someone with a borrowed knife. Aren't there the Emperor's Guards chasing me behind? It's time to divert the trouble to the east.

"Fart, the person who killed our brothers earlier was someone from your Zhenguo Palace."

"Hmph, if my lord wants to attack Xiao Cheng, why wait until now? If he is killed early, won't I be able to enter the Northland faster? Why bother?"

"Believe it or not, the people from the Tianzi Guard will catch up soon."

However, what he didn't know was that those of your emperor's guards did want to catch up, but were stopped by Yan San halfway.

At this time, the person standing opposite Zhen Guogong was not Xiao Cheng's second batch of reinforcements, but Gu Jian, who was under Lu Yaoyao's command.

It is true that Zhen Guogong's people did leave some fish that slipped through the net because their hands and feet were not very clean, but it is still three days away from the Northland. Even if they want to bring in reinforcements, they will come back and forth day and night, then

It also takes at least three or four days to travel.

Come here soon.

"Let me believe you for once. I want to see if someone is really chasing me."

After Gu Jian finished speaking, he asked several people to look back in the direction where Zhen Guogong and the other two people had escaped.

The man came back half an hour later.
