Chapter 166: Sneak Attack
It was too late, and the two of them finished eating porridge and went to sleep separately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Feng Jingting wanted to stay for the night or something, he didn't have a warm invitation, so he had to give up. When he was about to go out, he glanced back nostalgically, and secretly wondered if one day she would be able to hold his leg in vain and beg him to stay overnight?
The next morning, it was another sunny day.
When the horse team traveled to the vicinity of Xunyang, Feng Jingting received a letter, which was not signed, but was sent by an old servant, only saying that the head of the family had a letter to the prince.
Feng Jingting opened the letter suspiciously, and couldn't help but be overjoyed after reading it, the letter was actually sent by Yu Ge Lao, just one sentence: Since the prince has kept his promise, the old man will live up to his trust.
The implication is that Feng Jingting is willing to go to the southeast to quell the chaos, and he will do his best to ensure that he ascends to the top. This is really good news, as long as he can not die this time, he will be one step closer to the throne.
He was overjoyed for a while, so he showed off to Guo Wenying, saying that Yu Ge Lao had taken a fancy to him.
Guo Wenying pouted secretly, and thought, that Mr. Yu is also blind, from where can you see that he is getting better?
In fact, this is really not that Yu Fengyang is blind, nor how good Feng Jingting is, it is really a royal gene, and the sons born are more than a scumbag, and Du Niang's is too bad. Because of this, a shameless man with a thick face is lined up beautifully.

Two nights later, the horse team entered the Tongling Gorge, and the farther away from Kyoto, the higher the danger factor.
At this time, the heavy ink color was all over the vault, and the stars were very taunting, and a bright moon hung high, shaking the earth white. The narrow official road is quiet, and only the wheels and horses' hooves roll forward against the mountain stream.
Tranquility struck with tiredness, but the accompanying guards did not dare to be vague, and the five hundred brocade guards and the five hundred cavalry of the Northwest Army were all on alert, with swords unsheathed, arrows and bows, and their eyes looked around nervously.
Tongling Gorge is not long, about more than 40 miles. Out of this gorge is Jingyang City, where there are soldiers guarding, and you can breathe a sigh of relief.
When the group hurried and whipped, they didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and when they arrived on the way, the Jinyi guard, who suddenly led the way, was stunned, turned the horse's head and rushed back, shouting sharply: "Stop——!"
The brocade-clothed guard in the distance looked tense and tightened the reins one after another. The tall steed raised its front hooves and neighed highly, overlapping each other and resounding through the valley.
stopped suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and Feng Jingting was in a hurry to hold the sleeping Guo Wenying, so he didn't let her rush out of the car.
The sudden change woke Guo Wenying up instantly, she subconsciously pulled out the fire gun in her arms, and asked, "But did anyone sneak attack?"
Feng Jingting's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid that someone can't hold it back, so they want to do it at this time." He raised his eyebrows, picked up the knife on the table, and got up and opened the curtain.
After many years of marching, Guo Wenying also smelled danger, her heart beat like a drum, she took a breath hard, and slowly moved to the front of the tent. Fingers held the canopy curtain, and as soon as she opened it, before she could see the scene clearly, she only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and her hand was beaten back from the outside.
"Honestly stay inside. Feng Jingting let out a low snort, jumped out of the carriage with the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mai Yunteng, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, hurriedly ran to Feng Jingting, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, a tree has fallen a mile ahead, and half of the roots of the tree are exposed, and it is in the middle of the road, blocking the road. ”
“…… Didn't someone set up a roadblock?" Feng Jingting couldn't help but raise his voice and looked ahead suspiciously.
Under the bright moonlight, the water vapor of the mountain stream is very heavy, and there is a thin mist all around, and you can vaguely see something falling on the official road, and you can't tell what it is.
On weekdays, the official roads are maintained by the local government, and the annual appropriation from the imperial court is not a small amount, and there has been no heavy rain and wind recently, so there will be no big trees that have been blown down at all.
"Beware of deception. Feng Jingting couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Send a few people to step forward and move the barricades, and the rest of the people are on standby, don't act rashly." ”
Mai Yunteng bowed his head and agreed, and beckoned a few burly brocade guards to move the barricades. At this time, Lu Huaidong caught up from behind, commanded the cavalry of the Northwest Army to protect the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you better go to the carriage." ”
"It doesn't matter. Feng Jingting shook his head, with his skills, he wanted to protect himself, which was more than enough.
It didn't take much time to move the barricades, and I thought I would be able to move forward immediately, but after half a cup of tea, I heard only a few high-pitched horses explode out of thin air, and several well-trained horses fled in all directions like crazy.
The horse's roar pierced the sky, extremely harsh, wrapped in the wind as if a strange monster was howling, and it spread particularly far in the night wind.
Guo Wenying sat in the carriage, her hair stood up coldly, and she suddenly felt a strong breath of death.
Almost all of them are always on the verge of life and death, and they are extremely sensitive to danger. Deng Shi drew a knife in his hand, and looked around with a cold look in his eyes.
Quietly, the occasional unknown bird screamed miserably, and the scalp of the mad man was numb. Feng Jingting's mood was gloomy, staring at the misty mist in the distance, and the few people who went there did not return for a long time, and it seemed that they were more than lucky.
So it seems that they must have been ambushed. It was really well planned to set up an ambush here, and he sneered lightly and ordered the officers and men to go to war at any time.
Standing on the carriage, he observed the terrain from a high level, and said to Guo Wenying in the car: "If this king doesn't call you, you are not allowed to come out." "Although the carriage is not impregnable, it has steel partitions inside, and ordinary swords can't do it. This situation is confusing, and only the inside is the safest.
Guo Wenying responded, the battle between the two parties is not her specialty, and with her three-legged cat's kung fu, it will also add chaos when she goes out.
At this moment, there was a sound of "bang" in the air, and everyone looked up vigilantly, the sky was divided by the mountain, and the moonlight could not care about the black mountain wall, they could only judge the direction of the unknown thing according to the sound, as if they were marching rapidly, hanging back and forth on the straight mountain wall. Judging by the voice, many of these people are light skills.
Feng Jingting quickly jumped down from the car, waved his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Release the arrow-"
The five hundred cavalry immediately divided into four columns, two with bows and two with muskets, and the archers attacked first, and rows of arrows fired at the black shadow.
At this time, the difference between the soldiers and the Jinyi guards was revealed, these Jinyi guards were all strong in martial arts, but when it came to marching and arranging, the combat ability was not as good as the five hundred Northwest Army. If you really want to kill each other and fight a group battle, it is likely that the Northwest Army will survive in the end.
As rows of arrows were fired, there were bursts of screams, and the air was faintly filled with blood.
