Chapter 721: Ambush
When talking to these two barbarian leaders, since I couldn't get any useful information, I didn't have a few words to talk about it, and the conversation between Liu Zheng and the two barbarian leaders ended in a bad mood.
When the two barbarian leaders saw Liu Zheng, they seemed to have nothing to say, so they directly offered to say goodbye. They took the two small boats they came along the stream and left again, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
After they left, Liu Zheng looked at Guo Jia beside him.
"Fengxiao, what do you think these two barbarian leaders mean?"
"Lord, these two people seem to be very hostile to us."
"Yes, they are very hostile. Logically speaking, they should not be so hostile to us. After all, they have a good relationship with Guo Shi, and we have a good relationship with Guo Shi, which can be regarded as friends. If they want to continue to maintain a good relationship with Guo Shi, they should also make friends with us."
"But judging from the performance of these two people, they don't seem to have any good feelings for us."
"Yes, lord, there must be something happening here that we are not clear about. I think that if lord wants to understand what happened in Wuling County, it is best to find the former subordinates of Guo Shi's boss, so that we may be able to understand more clearly from their mouths."
Guo Jia expressed his opinion to Liu Zheng.
"With that being said, it's not that easy for Guo Shiyuan's subordinates to look for them now. I hope we can find them."
"Let's not worry about Guo Shi's subordinates, Shiwu. I will help me contact the leaders of Youxi and Yuxi in the next two days, and we will negotiate with them."
Liu Zheng once again handed over this task to Shiwu.
"Affect the order."
After Shiwu received the order, he went down to act.
A few more days later, news came from Youxi and Yuxi, willing to meet Liu Zheng, but like the ideas raised by the people from Xiongxi and Manxi tribes, they would not come to Yiling to meet Liu Zheng, but asked Liu Zheng to meet him at their designated place.
Because of the experience of meeting the two tribes of Xiongxi and Manxi last time, Liu Zheng didn't care so much about this and quickly agreed to the other party.
According to what the other party said, Liu Zheng continued to lead Guo Jia, Dian Wei and hundreds of Jinyiwei to the agreed location.
This time, it was also agreed to be next to a stream, but the stream is relatively steep, with no river beach but cliffs on both sides, and a stream is winding and walking forward.
Liu Zheng could only let Shiwu get a few boats, take the boat, and go to the agreed place by water.
However, just as they were passing by a river beach with cliffs on both sides on their way to Youxi, many archers suddenly stood up on both sides of the river beach, and without saying a word, they attacked Liu Zheng and others on the river.
Arrows shot from both sides quickly.
Liu Zheng hadn't noticed it at first, but Dian Wei was alert and immediately noticed something wrong with the cliffs on both sides, and immediately shouted at the people on the boat.
"Be careful if there are enemies!"
Dian Wei immediately stood up and protected Liu Zheng, trying to block these arrows for Liu Zheng. While using the weapons in his hand to intercept the arrows, he let Liu Zheng enter the cabin to hide.
Although there were not many archers on the cliffs on both sides, the archery technique was obviously good. Several Jinyiwei on the boat were shot directly and fell on the river.
Liu Zheng was frightened by this situation. Although it was not the first time he encountered an assassination, this time was obviously the most dangerous one.
Liu Zheng, hiding in the cabin, pulled Guo Jia and hid carefully together. Guo Jia did not know much martial arts and had weak bones. Relatively speaking, he was worse than Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng was also worried that Guo Jia suffered some losses here. If his life was not good, he was shot to death with an arrow like Liu Bei's Feng Chu Pang Tong, then Liu Zheng would have suffered a lot.
"Dianwei, let the boatman speed up his sailing and leave here as soon as possible."
"Yes! Lord."
Dian Wei walked out of the cabin carefully and ordered the boatman outside to sail faster. After the boatman was shot and killed, Dian Wei even went into battle himself and rowed with the oars.
As the arrows flew and the ships sailed, the number of arrows fell on the ships became smaller and smaller. Dian Wei asked the ships to sail quickly. After a few breaths, the ship passed through the cliff. Dian Wei then walked into the cabin and spoke to Liu Zheng.
"Lord, it's okay, those people can't ejaculate."
Dian Wei looked at Liu Zheng, and after seeing that Liu Zheng was fine, he felt relieved and passed this level without any danger.
Liu Zheng walked out of the cabin with a dark face.
"Dian Wei, who do you think is dealing with us?"
"It goes without saying that only the people from the Youxi tribe know our whereabouts, only they know that we will come to meet the people from the Youxi tribe at this time, and only they set up ambush us here. Lord, we don't have to go there, just go back to Yiling and lead troops to destroy the people from the Youxi tribe."
Dian Wei only thought that the person who set up an ambush here was the people from the Youxi tribe. He wanted to go directly to trouble the Youxi tribe without saying a word.
But Liu Zheng frowned.
"No, maybe it's not from the Youxi tribe. As you said, only the people from the Youxi tribe should know our whereabouts. If they want to assassinate us, isn't it obvious that they want to go against us? If they don't succeed, then we will definitely raise troops to attack them. Are they looking for death?"
"Whose lord believes that these people are?"
"I don't know, but I guess I shouldn't be from the Youxi tribe. If they are from the Youxi tribe, then they would be too stupid."
Just as Liu Zheng was talking to Dian Wei, Guo Jia, who walked in from outside, suddenly spoke.
"Lord, something is wrong. Where are we going?"
When Liu Zheng heard Guo Jia's words, he was curious and walked directly to the deck of the boat. He looked at the nearby area and saw that it was a large stream just now, but now he had walked into a stream, just the size of a small boat.
On both sides is a peach blossom forest, which is March.
The peach blossoms on the peach tree are in full bloom, and the pink petals contaminate this forest with a bit strangeness.
"Well? This seems to be not the place we agreed with those from the Youxi tribe."
Although the scenery outside is good, Liu Zheng is still a little suspicious.
"Yes, how could there be a peach forest here?"
"And it's such a large area, Dian Wei, drive the boat over and take a look."
