Chapter 228: Enemies meet on a narrow road

At 4 o'clock in the morning, on the ridge of Wuling Mountain north of the capital, Wang Shanying led ten soldiers to catch wild beasts in the woods.

Since it was already winter, there were very few wild animals on the mountain. Even though Wang Shanying's men were all good hunters, they could only hunt a few hares, pheasants and roe deer, but none of the big prey was encountered.

While everyone was searching around, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Wang Shanying stopped and listened for a moment, then smiled and said: "There are people like us who are hunting here."

A young man holding a strong bow warned Wang Shanying: "Wang Baihu, I heard the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side. There seem to be dozens of horses. I guess some dignitary is hunting here. Let's stay away."

Just as Wang Shanying was about to nod in agreement, he saw a wild boar like a calf running out of the woods opposite and running desperately towards this side.

"Wild boar!"

Several soldiers shouted in surprise, then they each drew their bows and arrows and shot at the wild boar.

Due to the long distance, the wild boar ran very fast, and all the arrows it shot missed.

"Look at me."

A pockmarked man next to Wang Shanying raised a bow in his right hand and an arrow in his left hand. He aimed at the running wild boar and shot an arrow.

Then a whooshing sound was heard, and the arrow hit the wild boar's right eye with perfect accuracy.

"Liu Mazi, you are good at archery." The surrounding soldiers cheered for the pockmarked man in unison.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a soldier shouting loudly: "Everyone, be careful, the wild boar is coming."

Wang Shanying drew out his sword and ordered loudly: "Liu Mazi, give it another arrow in its left eye, and the others will follow me."

Liu Mazi quickly drew out an arrow, bent his bow, and shot another arrow at the wild boar. Because he was nervous, the arrow missed the target and flew out, grazing the wild boar's forehead.

"Fool!"

Wang Shanying cursed, then gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a knife.

The remaining dozen or so soldiers also drew their sabers and followed Wang Shanying forward.

Most of these soldiers were born as hunters, and after more than a month of intensive training, they were more than enough to deal with a wild boar together.

Under the siege of everyone, the wild boar soon fell into a pool of blood.

Wang Shanying rushed to the front and was gored by a wild boar during the fight. He didn't feel anything at first, but after it was over, he felt severe pain in his chest.

Seeing sweat on his forehead, Liu Mazi quickly came over and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"

Wang Shanying said with a disgusted look on his face: "What happened to you just now, did you give me the pick at the critical moment?"

Liu Mazi hurriedly said: "When I saw the wild boar charging towards me, I felt a little panicked, so I lost my accuracy."

Wang Shanying was about to scold him when he saw several young men with knives and bows emerging from the woods opposite and walking towards him.

Those people came closer and saw the wild boar lying in a pool of blood. A leading man walked up to Wang Shanying and asked him: "This is the wild boar we drove out. Who asked you to kill it?"

Liu Mazi said angrily: "This mountain doesn't belong to you, so why can't we kill wild boars?"

The man was furious when he heard this. He raised his hand and swung his riding whip, hitting Liu Mazi on the head.

Liu Mazi ducked away and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"

"You still dare to resist? I think you look like a group of deserters. Come here, arrest them all."

Wang Shanying hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fists at the man and said, "We are soldiers of the Beijing Camp Zuowu Guard. We are ordered to train here. Please forgive me if there is any collision."

"The Beijing Camp Zuowuwei is stationed in Miyun. You are either lying or deserting. Hurry up and surrender before we take action."

"you dare!"

Wang Shanying's troops drew out their sabers one after another and glared angrily at the people opposite them.

The middle-aged man sneered: "You are all very courageous. Do you want to rebel?"

Liu Mazi approached Wang Shanying and said, "Baihu, that guy is really bullying people too much. How about we teach them a lesson?"

Wang Shanying: "These people are dressed in extraordinary clothes and have loud voices. They must be the servants of some noble man. We can't afford to offend them. Go back and inform the general to come and rescue us."

"OK."

Liu Mazi responded, then turned around and slipped into the tree.

After Liu Mazi left, Wang Shanying took another step forward and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, we are really soldiers of Zuowu Wei. Our general's surname is Lin Mingyun. You must have heard about it, right?"

When the man heard Lin Yun's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "No wonder you guys are so bold, it turns out you are that kid's subordinate! You are in bad luck today. Come on, I'll take them all.

"

Several guards immediately rushed over with their knives drawn, shouting loudly: "Beat them and avenge the prince."

When Wang Shanying heard the words "Shiziye", he was immediately confused.

His soldiers stepped back and asked him: "Wang Baihu, what should we do?"

Wang Shanying cried secretly in his heart, "I don't know what to do?"

At this moment, three young men in brocade clothes armed with bows and arrows came running towards us on war horses, followed by a group of guards, which seemed to number dozens of people.

If Lin Yun were here, he would be able to recognize that it was Prince Zhongshun Ning Hu who was riding in front.

Ning Hu is accompanying Ning Jin, King of Yan, on a hunting trip today. Also accompanying him is Yuele, the son of Wang Yuetai of Xining County.

Seeing her bodyguards confronting a group of officers and soldiers, Ning Hu galloped over and asked the leading middle-aged man, "Wang Wei, what's going on?"

Wang Wei stepped forward and saluted: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, they claim to be the subordinates of General Lin Yun of Zuo Wuwei. The villain suspects that they are deserters and wants to capture them for interrogation."

"oh!"

When Ning Hu heard that it was Lin Yun's song, he felt moved in his heart. He was humiliated by Lin Yun in the ring last time. He was thinking about how to avenge the blood and hatred. Now that he had this opportunity, he should seize it.

That's right.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Yan King Ning Jing who was riding up and followed him: "The soldiers of Zuo Wuwei appeared here for some reason. My men suspected that they were deserters and wanted to take them back for interrogation."

Wang Shanying heard this and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please see clearly that we are not deserters."

Ning Hu: "Even if you are not a deserter, leaving your station without any reason is still a serious crime."

Ning Jing: "Ning Hu, let's forget it. Our hunting is important, there is no need to waste time with a few soldiers."

Ning Hu lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, they are all members of Zuowuwei General Lin Yun."

Ning Jing raised her eyebrows when she heard this. He was deeply impressed by the name Lin Yun. That guy actually instigated the King of Wu to ask for food, causing him to be reprimanded by his mother. It was really abominable.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered to the guards: "Take them all and interrogate them strictly."

"yes."

A group of guards immediately rushed forward, ready to take someone away.
