"It's not easy to be invulnerable to all poisons, and King Chu probably can't do it."
Ye Fuxun breathed a sigh of relief, her actions were not in vain.
After Ye Fuxun's identity was revealed, King Chu's attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
Not only did he no longer disturb Ji Yannuo and Ye Fulun when they were alone, but he also always showed a strange look to the two of them, saying, 'I understand, I understand! You can continue without worries!'
Ye Fuxun said:...
The convoy traveled for five days and set off after lunch that day. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a mountain col.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Ye Fuxun, who was dozing off, yawned, opened the curtain and looked out——
I saw a large group of bandits appearing in front of me. Everyone was waving their swords and blocking the road in the middle of the road with a fierce look.
"Don't be afraid. I'm going to take a look. Don't come out of the carriage." Ji Yannuo reassured.
"Your Highness, you have forgotten that I am now dressed in men's clothing." There was no issue of being exposed in public, Ye Fuxun reminded in a low voice, "Besides, I am a little scared, so I feel safe only when I am with Your Highness."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yannuo looked at her with warm eyes: "Okay, then you stay with me."
When the two got off the carriage, they saw King Chu hurriedly jumping out of the carriage from behind.
"Where did this place where birds don't lay eggs come from so many bandits?" The King of Chu rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to personally go out to wipe out the bandits.
Ji Yannuo glanced at him: "Maybe someone transferred him here on purpose."
"Sixth brother, what should we do now?" King Chu patted his head and raised his thumb.
Ji Yannuo did not immediately respond to King Chu's words. He looked forward, thought for a moment and said: "It's not a big problem for our people to deal with these bandits. It's just..."
He raised his chin slightly, "I'm afraid they have other plans."
"Backhand?" King Chu was startled, "What does the sixth brother mean by this?"
"Look at the narrow road behind the mountain pass." Ji Yannuo lowered his voice.
King Chu narrowed his eyes: "Sixth Brother, do you mean that after we finally kill these bandits, there will still be an ambush when we pass by that narrow road?"
"It's very possible." Ji Yannuo nodded, "If they set up an ambush on the mountains on both sides of the narrow road and push down the boulders, we might be more passive."
The King of Chu punched his fist: "What a destructive move!"
"Fourth brother," Ji Yannuo pondered for a moment, "call the troops in front of you and deal with the people ambushed on the mountains on both sides of the narrow road first. Then notify the troops behind you to stand by."
"..." King Chu opened his mouth wide, "What, what kind of troops?"
Ji Yannuo frowned, crossed his arms and looked at him.
"From the capital to now, the two escort teams that have been walking in front of us total more than forty people. There is also a team of more than ten people going to the funeral. Aren't they all your people?"
He nodded casually and said, "There are two escort teams and a caravan in the back. There are about a hundred people in total. They were all brought out by the fourth brother, right?"
King Chu's mouth opened wider and wider: "Sixth brother, how do you know all this?"
"Is this difficult?" Ji Yannuo frowned, "Let's make arrangements first."
"Hey, yes!"
King Chu scratched his head and turned around to send the message.
Not long after, he returned and stayed behind Ji Yannuo to get to the bottom of it.
"Sixth brother, please explain to fourth brother carefully, where did the secret leak out for you to see?"
While Ji Yannuo watched the guards fighting with the bandits, he pulled Ye Fuxun to his side to protect him, without looking back: "Whose family is full of men traveling thousands of miles to mourn? And all of them howl like slaughtered pigs?
"
"There are also those escort teams. It's normal that the men are all elite, but they were silent the whole time, like they were marching. This is all suspicious."
Eunuch Xu reminded in a low voice: "Most of the escorts in the escort team are accustomed to the world. Although they are good at martial arts, not many people can change their gambling and drinking habits. Lord Chu, your escort team is too solemn."
It will make it easier for people to see the problem."
King Chu patted his head and suddenly realized.
"But," Ji Yannuo suddenly spoke again, "How did Fourth Brother convince his father to let you transfer the soldiers from Beida Camp?"
King Chu chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Fourth brother said that this trip is a long one, and we need elite personnel to protect us..."
"That's it?" Ji Yannuo raised his eyebrows.
King Chu chuckled again: "As a brother, I followed my father for half an hour..."
Everyone:......
There were nearly a hundred bandits, but there were only a dozen guards who went to fight them.
At first, it was like throwing a stone into a lake and making no sound.
However, bandits soon began to fall to the ground frequently. More than ten guards fought bravely and skillfully among the bandits, fighting a bloody path.
Ye Fuxun grabbed Ji Yannuo's sleeve and watched the battle nervously.
However, in just a moment, the situation between the two parties changed.
The guards became more courageous as they fought, while the bandits gradually became looser.
"Brother Hu is mighty! Come on, Brother Hu!"
"Brother Hu, be careful of the thief on the right!"
"Well done, Brother Hu!"
"Cut him! Chop him! Chop him hard!"
Xiaoyu stood not far in front of Ji Yannuo and Ye Fuxun, pumping his fists and shouting excitedly, so that Ye Fuxun couldn't help but hide his face and hide from Ji Yannuo's arm.
Don't say that she is her maid.
After another quarter of an hour or so, nearly 80% of the bandits had been dealt with.
The remaining bandits were frightened and fought and retreated.
The guards did not let them escape, and changed their tactics again and launched a siege.
At this time, Eunuch Xu hurried over: "Your Highness, the magistrate of the nearby county has brought his officials to arrest the bandits."
Ji Yannuo nodded: "Clean up where you are and take a break."
The county magistrate fearfully led his government officials to arrest all the bandits and cleaned up the scene before returning.
After receiving permission, he led the people back in a hurry.
"Sixth Brother," King Chu got the latest news and strode over, "There is indeed an ambush on the mountains on both sides of the front. There are about ten people on one side, and they have prepared a lot of logs soaked with kerosene and huge rocks."
"Brother's men have already taken care of all those people."
"It's just that," he frowned, "they were all dead soldiers, not a single one was left alive."
Ji Yannuo was not surprised. He stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's keep going."
The guards were somewhat injured, and after a period of rest, they were bandaged, and they all moved forward in high spirits.
Ye Fuxun returned to the carriage and had a new understanding of Ji Yannuo's team.
At this moment, Jiujiu's voice sounded in her mind: 'Host...'
"Huh?" Ye Fuxun responded in confusion, "Jiujiu, do you have a new mission?"
'No...'
"Temporary mission?" Ye Fuxun asked again.
"Actually, it's not..." Jiujiu twitched her fingers, hesitant.
It just accidentally clicked on the question mark on the system panel and got new information.
