King Wuyou and his party traveled at dawn and stayed overnight. They stopped when they encountered a city and rested when they encountered a shop. After stopping and walking, they entered the hinterland of the Shu Kingdom. As they were walking forward that day, they saw high mountains and dense forests in front of them, with winding post roads and winding roads.
Entering the forest.
The Dali envoy and Mr. Lu from the Changfeng Escort Bureau stopped the team. Seeing that no other pedestrians were passing by, they became more cautious. They ordered the two escorts to ride into the forest to investigate first, and then they came to Wuyou King
In front of the car, he reported the situation in front to King Wuyou. King Wuyou got out of the car and his men hurriedly prepared the horses. King Wuyou got on the horse and immediately looked at the forest with Duan Tianhe and Lu Changfeng.
There were dense trees in the mountain forest, and the mountain wind blew through, making the leaves rustle. After a while, the two escorts returned, and they rode into the forest. There was nothing unusual along the way, but the forest was very deep, and it would take a lot of effort to walk through it.
time, so I came back and talked to Mr. Lu first.
Lu Changfeng looked up at the sky. It was almost noon, and there was still half a day's journey from here to the city ahead. If he was delayed, he might not be able to reach the city before dark. Duan Tianhe thought about it and said: "There are usually some dark spots in this mountain forest."
Bandits, even if they encounter a large caravan, they don't dare to rob us. At this time, we have a large number of people, so I hope they will get out of the way when they see us."
King Wuyou shook his head lightly, but said nothing. He only called Lu Zheng and gave a few instructions quietly, and Lu Zheng led a dozen people into the woods with their horses and whips raised.
King Wuyou said to Lu Changfeng: "General Guard Lu has been traveling around the world all year round. It's up to you to figure out what to do."
Lu Changfeng and Duan Tianhe discussed it. First, the six escorts were divided into three waves to explore the road ahead, and one wave was sent out at every sight. After three waves of escorts entered the forest, the entire caravan entered the forest. Several people from Dali
As soon as the masters entered the forest, they hid on both sides of the post road. There were several escorts in front, and dozens of tiger soldiers closely guarded the convoy. When the convoy walked deep into the forest, a series of crossbow arrows were suddenly shot from both sides of the forest.
, directly attacked the horses at the front and rear of the convoy. Some Tiger soldiers were alert first and shot away a few incoming arrows and crossbows, but some horses were hit by arrows and fell down, and the vehicles were blocked on the road. Dozens of Tiger soldiers hurriedly retrieved their weapons.
, and be on guard on both sides.
King Wuyou rode on a horse and followed Princess Yinping's carriage. Ying'er got into the princess's carriage together before entering the forest. ** and Meiliang also got off the carriage and stood on both sides of the carriage.
They were dressed in tight clothes, each holding their own weapons in their hands and slinging them behind their backs.
There was a whistle in the forest, and hundreds of masked men in black jumped down from the trees or emerged from the grass. A dozen more people rushed to the middle of the post road, holding swords and guns, blocking the road. The leader was
The big man yelled angrily: "I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road. If you dare to chip half of your teeth, I will not care about this knife, grandpa."
Kill or bury them!"
After that, the bodyguards in front of them didn't wait for a reply, and they came up to kill them with their swords. The bodyguards and the tiger soldiers also raised their swords and started fighting with these masked men.
At this time, the several bodyguards in front had seen that the convoy was ambushed, and sent a message, and several people rode their horses back. The masked man saw that the convoy was well prepared, and the bodyguards were also very skilled, so they beat them several times.
At the code word, more than a dozen people rushed towards the princess's carriage. King Wuyou was riding on the horse, with several guards standing beside him. When the guards saw the thief coming to kill them, they also split up to greet him. Although the tiger and the Ben army were replaced
The bodyguards were dressed up, but when they encountered the enemy, the army's formation was perfect, the offense and defense were orderly, and they were not at a disadvantage for a while. Those who performed well were also selected by the Changfeng Escort Bureau, and they injured several thieves in a short time. However, there were many thieves, and they fought hard to fight.
, sergeant, and the bodyguard were entangled for a moment, and no one could come to the rescue. Each of the guards was facing one or two thieves. One of the guards was not in a hurry, and the thieves approached the princess carriage.
A tall masked thief saw that there were only two maids and a young master on horseback in front of the car. He didn't care about King Wuyou and slashed at the woman with a knife. The woman's body misaligned and he went forward instead.
The dagger had already collided with the thief's long knife. Although ** was shocked to the point of numbness in his arm, the thief's knife had been broken into two pieces. ** took advantage of the thief's shock and swung the dagger from him.
The thief was struck across the chest. The thief was also shocked. He hurriedly dodged back, but was still hit by the dagger. A large gash was opened in his clothes, and blood came out. The thief screamed in pain.
**Knowing that he could take advantage of someone's illness to kill him, he leaned forward and stabbed the thief in the heart with the short sword in his hand. The thief was in pain and his reaction was a little slow. He couldn't dodge when the sword was stabbed, so he could only
He watched helplessly as **'s dagger went directly into his body. ** pulled out the dagger and kicked the thief away. The thief's eyes were wide open with surprise.
At this time, the few Dali masters who had first hidden in the forest also showed up and attacked from behind. These men raised and lowered their swords, killing them all with one blow. The thieves in front of them were either pierced by the sword or wounded in the body.
The first difference.
As soon as those masters appeared, they killed more than a dozen thieves and rushed to the princess's carriage to protect her. The one who attacked the carriage was originally the most skilled among the thieves, but was blocked by King Wuyou's guards. The two men who rushed to the carriage were
, one was attacked and killed by the police, one was entangled by Mingliang, and several others had just passed by and were stopped by Dali masters. A few of them were killed when they met. King Wuyou was riding on the horse, but he seemed to be fine.
, none of the thieves paid attention to him. King Wuyou was also happy to sit on his horse and watch.
The thieves came quickly, but they were attacked by the three parties of Hu Ben Army, Changfeng Escort Bureau and Dali masters. In a short time, nearly half of them were killed or injured. The leading thieves took the time to whistle, turned around and ran away, and the remaining thieves had no intention of fighting.
, turned around and ran towards the forest. Those who ran slowly were overtaken by everyone, and were hit from behind, either dead or injured. Those who ran fast were also chased by Dali masters. After several ups and downs, their heads fell to the ground.
, the dead body fell in the grass.
Lu Changfeng and Duan Tianhe looked at the battlefield and saw that not a single thief had escaped. Most of the dead and wounded on the ground were the masked thieves. They ordered to check the surroundings and any injured thieves were pulled over for questioning. Those who were seriously injured were stabbed and sent on their way.
.
Some of the bodyguards and Huben troops were also injured, and the accompanying military doctors applied medicine and bandages, and the grooms hurriedly changed the horses for the carriage.
King Wuyou ordered the scene to be cleaned, and after examining the corpses of the thieves, they threw them all into the bushes on both sides. The convoy was organized and on standby. He, Lu Changfeng, and Duan Tianhe captured a few injured thieves and kept them away from the princess's carriage for torture.
After a while, the thieves were quite tough at first, but a military doctor accompanying King Wuyou's army was really good at it. After a few casual touches, the thieves changed color, sweated profusely in pain, and kept praying.
If you die quickly, just say whatever you ask.
It turns out that this group of bandits was staying in a nearby mountain stronghold. Yesterday, a few people came to see their leader, saying that a caravan passed by and brought a large amount of gold and silver, as well as accompanying female relatives, who were all fairy-like figures. The leader
I listened to the trick and ambushed here today to rob. At first, seeing the large number of people in the convoy, I didn’t want to take action. I also thought that there must be a lot of gold and silver in the convoy. I also saw the carriage with family members, so I thought it would be good to bring back a few ladies from the village.
, and stopped the convoy.
King Wuyou only smiled faintly after hearing this, and then ordered: "Send them away, hurry up and leave here as soon as possible to avoid further trouble."
When the motorcade arrived, it was already evening. When they entered the city, Lu Zheng had already found several neighboring inns and booked them. Everyone drove the carriages and horses into the inns and settled down separately. Lu Changfeng patrolled around.
, and discussed with Duan Tianhe and Lu Zheng to take turns guarding.
Wuyou King Qi Si first asked the palace maid to wait for Princess Yinping to stay. He went in and spoke to her, then turned around and came out. Yinger lived next to the princess. King Wuyou opened the door and came in. ** and Meimei were changing Yinger's clothes. Wuyou
King You went downstairs. When he got to the courtyard, he saw that Lu Changfeng and others were mobilizing manpower. He didn't bother him and just took Lu Zheng with him and left the inn.
Lu Zheng followed King Wuyou to the nearest teahouse and ordered two bowls of tea. Seeing that there was no one on both sides, he said in a low voice to King Wuyou: "Your Majesty, the message has been sent out according to your instructions. More on the front.
You can reach Yucheng in three or two days' journey, and I have arranged for people to go to Yucheng in advance."
King Wuyou nodded. It turns out that before King Wuyou entered the forest, he asked Lu Zheng to explore the way first. First, to test whether there was an ambush: if the ambush were all masters and wanted to kill them all, they would definitely kill Lu Zheng.
The team members were led out by Lu Zheng, who could also serve as a warning to the team behind them; if they were ordinary thieves who only wanted to rob money, the escorts and soldiers of the convoy could handle them. The second was to arrange an inn in advance. After all, there were many people in the convoy.
The two inns couldn't wait any longer; the third was to go to Yucheng in advance to inform the people in Qi Ci Fang in the city and make some preparations; the fourth was to arrange for a few people to hide quietly and see if anyone was following the convoy.
Now that we have reached the goal, there are Shu troops garrisoning the city, so no one is expected to take action with open fire. When the spies at the back come back, they will know whether anyone is targeting us and how many troops the other party has.
King Wuyou and Lu Zheng drank tea, walked around for a while, and then returned to the inn. It was already dark, and the street shops in the city were lit with lights.
Lu Zheng sent King Wuyou back to his room to rest. He and his soldiers had dinner and waited for the news.
Lu Changfeng and Duan Tianhe first went to two other inns to see how the vehicles and horses were arranged, and arranged the manpower for caretakers. Then they came to the inn where King Wuyou was staying, and called Lu Zheng to go with him to discuss the attack in the forest with King Wuyou.
Lu Zheng had just waited for the spies to come back. After hearing their reports, he was about to go to Prince Wuyou's room. When he saw the two greeting him, he went upstairs together.
When King Wuyou heard the voices of Lu Zheng and others, he asked Ying'er to go into the guest room and waited outside. Lu Zheng knocked on the door, opened the door and asked the three adults to come in, then closed the door and stood outside to watch.
Then Mingliang poured tea and went into the inner room to accompany Ying'er.
King Wuyou looked at Lu Zheng and motioned for him to tell him what happened next. Lu Zheng told the reports from the spies just now: the convoy left the forest, and six people followed it from a distance. The spies behind them were divided into three waves and took turns to keep an eye on them.
Wait, I just saw them staying at an inn not far away. The spies were afraid of being discovered by them, so they didn't follow them. They left two of them watching on the opposite side, and one of them came back to report.
After hearing Lu Zheng's report, Lu Changfeng and Duan Tianhe also began to think deeply. King Wuyou asked: "Master Duan, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Changfeng said: "Master, you are really thoughtful, I admire you." King Wuyou waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to say this anymore. Lu Changfeng continued: "These six people, it is possible that they are members of the gang.
The few people the thief mentioned may also be other thieves. But they follow us and their intentions are not good. We must be careful and vigilant."
King Wuyou looked at Duan Tianhe and asked, "Master Duan, what do you think should be done well?"
Duan Tianhe thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Qi, I think being stared at like this is not an option. Why not strike first? I will let my people kill them tonight and bring them back alive. I will know who they are."
It’s an attempt.”
King Wuyou nodded and said: "It's okay, we are businessmen, and it doesn't look good if they are always fighting and killing in front of our door, so just go to their place to do it!"
