Chapter 270: The Assassin Washed Down by the Mountain Flood
Another moment passed.
Gu Nuoer's words were confirmed one after another, and everything he said was accurate.
First, the wooden bridge in front was broken by the torrent coming down from the mountain.
Then the mountain road behind them was cut off by a rolling mud flow.
Now I can't move forward, let alone retreat.
If Gu Nuoer hadn't requested the train to stop here in advance.
I'm afraid it will be even harder to move forward.
If you are unlucky, you may be buried in the mountains by mudflow!
Some of the ministers who had complained just now did not dare to speak anymore.
I could only stare blankly at the dark sky through the car window. The heavy rain showed no sign of letting up at all.
They began to worry about whether they could survive the night safely.
The Praetorian Guards on horseback patrolled in circles beside the carriage.
He kept shouting: "Your Majesty has ordered that everyone stay in the carriage and are not allowed to come out without authorization. Anyone who violates this will be killed at their own risk!"
The carriage where Ye Siming was sitting was very close to the mountain.
He was quietly wiping the arrows when he suddenly frowned and his auricles twitched twice.
Ye Siming alertly opened the curtain and looked outside.
The sky was gloomy, as if it was about to turn dark into night.
Under the strong wind and rain, the mountains and forests not far away were shaking.
It was so dark in the forest that it was hard to see clearly.
But Ye Siming said in a decisive voice: "There are people in the woods, and there are quite a few."
Bai Yi was stunned.
After Ye Siming finished speaking, he wanted to get out of the car to check the situation.
Mrs. Bai quickly grabbed his wrist: "Si Ming! Don't go. It's raining heavily outside and it's too dangerous."
Bai Yi also said in a deep voice: "I told Commander Huo Guang that Siming must not go out and take risks."
Ye Siming looked at the pouring rain outside, a trace of doubt flashing in his dark eyes.
Can such an environment be called dangerous?
When the imperial guards passed by, Bai Yi called out to Huo Guang: "Commander Huo, my adopted son feels that there is someone in the woods over there. Please go and check."
Huo Guang turned his head and looked at the dense forest not far away, which looked very peaceful in the rainy night.
He shook his head: "Impossible. There is a flash flood over there. If anyone was there, I'm afraid they would have been injured."
But Bai Yi insisted: "Si Ming is always vigilant. Otherwise, I would get off the car and go have a look with you. Otherwise, I would be sorry if your trip was in vain."
Huo Guang frowned: "General Bai, the situation outside is dangerous, you don't have to get out of the car."
Bai Yi had already lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage: "I am also the emperor's general. I cannot let you face this moment alone. Let's go."
As soon as he got off the carriage, he heard the curtain move behind him.
Mrs. Bai exclaimed: "Si Ming!"
Bai Yi turned around and saw that Ye Siming had gotten off the carriage with him.
He hurriedly said: "What are you doing with me? Go back quickly!"
Ye Siming glanced at him, his handsome face showing indifference.
"I'll show you the way."
As he spoke, he walked in front alone, without even holding an umbrella.
Bai Yi quickly followed, followed by Huo Guang and other imperial guards.
When we entered the forest, it became even darker!
Not to mention the heavy rain washed away, making the vision very blurry.
The Imperial Guards were usually well-trained, but they all walked unsteadily and almost fell down several times.
However, Ye Siming's bottom plate was stable, as if walking on flat ground.
He never forgot to extend his hand occasionally to help Bai Yi.
The young man led the way and stopped after walking for a while.
Ye Siming's cold brows gradually wrinkled.
Bai Yi and Huo Guang held on to the tree trunk and looked up, and were immediately shocked by the sight in front of them!
Lying on the ground were actually men in black in all shapes and sizes!
It looked like he was hiding in the mountains, but was washed down by heavy rain and passed out.
