48. Ambush
The fleet of the Flying Tiger Army finally arrived safely in Hongye Village, after learning the news of the extermination of the water thieves, the villagers of Hongye Village cheered, Yu Junyan refused the invitation to stay and have a celebration banquet together, and took Su Yuheng and Zhu Bin to drive to the palace, firstly, he was afraid that leaving the palace for such a long time would arouse suspicion, and secondly, when Wang Zhong and Chi Wei returned to Choannan County as the victorious side, it seemed a little unreasonable if he did not come to greet him.
The horses galloped all the way, Yu Junyan and Su Yuheng leaned on the carriage to close their eyes and recuperate, when the carriage passed by Mianshan, there was a sudden sound of breaking the sky that made Yu Junyan suddenly open his eyes.
"Be careful!" Yu Junyan let out a low shout, pulled up Su Yuheng and broke through the roof of the carriage and jumped up, arrows shot out of the surrounding bushes like raindrops.
The three horses pulling the cart had all been killed by arrows, and Zhu Bin shouted: "Not good! There is an ambush! ”
Su Yuheng whispered in Yu Junyan's ear: "How can this be? ”
Yu Junyan said: "I don't know. Maybe it's the remnants of the escaped water thieves who have come to seek revenge. ”
Su Yuheng said: "If it is a water thief who comes to seek revenge, how will they know that we are going to pass through Mianshan and come here to ambush in advance?" ”
Yu Junyan said again: "Could it be that Chi Wei's old fox discovered us?" ”
Su Yuheng said: "Even if you find out your identity, you shouldn't send someone to ambush on the side of the road to kill people, he just wants to assassinate the prince?" Isn't that crazy? ”
Yu Junyan's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What if someone else wants to kill me." ”
As he spoke, dozens of black-clothed people rushed out from among the bushes, and they uniformly targeted the same person, and jointly attacked Yu Junyan.
"Hehe, it seems that unfortunately I guessed it, and their target is really me." Yu Junyan sneered, pulled out the Hongyuan Sword at his waist, and shouted, "Say!" Who ordered you to assassinate this king?! ”
Although the black-clothed man at the head covered his face with a black cloth and couldn't see his expression, he could guess the disdain on his face at this time from his voice: "By whom's order?" Naturally, you have received orders from people who can kill you, and you are all dying, what kind of prince is you putting up? Put down the sword in your hand and surrender obediently, maybe we can reward you with great mercy! ”
"Humph! What are you? How dare you talk to this king like this! Yu Junyan shouted loudly, and then whispered to Su Yuheng beside him, "Their target is me, you run away!" ”
"How's that going to work?!" Su Yuheng hurriedly said, "You alone are not their opponent at all!" ”
"Plus neither you nor Zhu Bin are!" Yu Junyan said, "The martial arts of these people are not low, I am here to support it, you go and move the rescuers!" ”
After Yu Junyan finished speaking, without waiting for Su Yuheng to answer, he raised his sword and rushed towards the man in black, Su Yuheng quickly pulled Zhu Bin, who was about to rush up, and said, "Follow me!" ”
Su Yuheng pulled Zhu Bin and ran for a few miles, looked back and saw that the man in black had not caught up, and said to him: "You go back to Hongye Village and ask General Golden Eagle for help!" ”
"No! I am the prince's guard, and I have to fight with this life to protect his safety, and I must not leave the prince alone! ”
"Even if you stay here, you won't be able to protect him!" Su Yuheng shouted, "In such a large area as Mianshan, it is impossible to ambush only a dozen people, I think their accomplices will soon come over to join them, you just have one more corpse staying here." It doesn't mean that you are loyal, it can only be said that you have delayed time and reduced the chances of your prince being saved! ”
Zhu Bin looked at Su Yuheng with some surprise, this "stupid" male concubine who was married by the emperor, although the prince had also said that he was not a simple character before, but it was the first time he saw him with such a stern and wise expression in addition to smirking for the first time today.
"Perhaps...... The princess was right. Zhu Bin thought like this and asked, "Let's go with the princess and her subordinates." ”
Su Yuheng said: "It's enough to ventilate one person, I'll stay and observe their actions." There is a kind of bee in Momiji Village, which is three or four times the size of ordinary bees, do you have any impressions? ”
Zhu Bin nodded and said, "Well, there is." ”
"Excellent! After you go to Momiji Village and ask General Golden Eagle, catch a few of these bees. Su Yuheng patted Zhu Bin on the shoulder and said, "If you can't find us when you come back, release those bees, and the bees will take you to me." ”
"Bees? The subordinates had only heard that dogs could lead the way, and they had never heard of bees leading the way. Zhu Bin was originally full of doubts about Su Yuheng's words, but when he looked at Su Yuheng's black and white eyes with a firm look, somehow, he really believed it, as if there was an ability in the other party's eyes that made people have to believe it.
"Now, let's go!" Su Yuheng pushed Zhu Bin forward hard, turned around and ran back.
Zhu Bin looked at Su Yuheng's back, gritted his teeth, and ran in the direction of Hongye Village.
When Su Yuheng returned to the place where he had just been ambushed, Yu Junyan had already suffered several injuries on his body, and he was obviously unable to fight against the man in black, just when the leader of the man in black knocked the Hongyuan sword in his hand and Yu Junyan fell to the ground, Su Yuheng was about to rush out secretly to save Yu Junyan, but saw that the leader held up Yu Junyan's chin and looked at his face, and praised him: "I have long heard that the king of You'an County has the posture of a celestial man, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." Anyway, you are going to die, so it's better to make some last contribution before you die, so that Uncle I can be happy. Haha~ Come on, take it away! ”
Yu Junyan was tied up by two people under the black-clothed leader and brought into a wooden house that had been abandoned for a long time, Su Yuheng quietly followed, constantly thinking about how to save Yu Junyan along the way, if he rushed up directly, he would be outnumbered and trapped and trapped in the end of being captured or killed, and he would not be Yu Junyan at all, but if he waited for the reinforcements of the Golden Eagle here, he didn't know if those people would be unfavorable to Yu Junyan during this period.
Just when Su Yuheng was in a dilemma and couldn't think of a way, he suddenly noticed that behind the wooden house where the man in black was, there was a low tree with several lantern-like fruits growing on it. Su Yuheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards the fruit.
The black-clothed people in the wooden house didn't know that there was an uninvited guest outside at this time, and they tied Yu Junyan's legs with iron chains, and tied the other end of the chain to the iron frame. The black-clothed man led by the others went outside to guard, and the only son walked up to Yu Junyan, stroked Yu Junyan's cheek with his rough palm, and said with a smile: "The prince is the prince, the skin fed by the delicacies of the mountains and seas is different, it feels fine and smooth to the touch, and it is even finer and tenderer than a woman." ”
Yu Junyan dodged the man's hand in disgust, but he uncovered the black cloth on his face as if he was intensifying, revealing half of his face full of pockmarks and stubble, rubbing back and forth on Yu Junyan's delicate face.
