Chapter 239: Ambush in the Body
He's coming, he's finally coming.
She knew he would come back to save her.
Princess Mo Zhu wiped a handful of tears, got up quickly, ran to Shangguan Yuling, threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, buried her head in his chest and cried.
Lu Li, who came later, was stunned, and Duan Lang was also stunned, and subconsciously looked at Lu Li.
This girl won't take it to heart.
This contradiction has not been solved yet, and it is difficult enough to solve the original layer that cannot be solved, and this is another layer.
Shangguan Yinling took half a step back and quickly pushed Princess Mo Zhu away.
"Since the princess is fine, let's ride back to the post station, General Lieyang is still waiting for you."
"I can't ride a horse anymore." She had been tied up for so long that her hands and ankles were strangled and she couldn't use any force at all.
Why didn't you see you so weak when I saw you running over?
Lu Li couldn't help but slander in his heart.
"Senior brother, you can send Princess Mozhu back, in case there is any accident along the way, it will not be good, a few of us will go to pick up grandpa and them." Lu Li said, handing the reins in his hand to Shangguan Yinling, "Since the princess is inconvenient to ride a horse, it is better to sit on the back of my horse and let the senior brother lead the horse." ”
After speaking, she turned her head to find the sixteen guards who came after her, borrowed a horse, and chased Duan Lang and the others in the direction where the gold was missing.
At this moment, Lu Chenghe was resting in Taixue, and the people of the Sixteen Guards hurriedly ran in.
"Master Lu, Lord Shangguan is in trouble, ask Master Lu for help!"
"Why did my son help him?" Lu Chenghe sat in front of the bed, stepped on the bed, and asked a little unpleasantly.
At this moment, Emata and they had already followed the trail of gold out of the city.
These people were so arrogant that they did not hide the gold first, as they had expected, but went all the way south along the smooth road.
They are really not afraid of death, even if they leave the capital and arrive at the next state and county, there will be soldiers at the gate of the city to detain them, and if they want not to be detained, they must scatter several boxes of gold and bring them into the city in batches.
The Holy Lord should have ordered the people passing through the city gates by now, and it would be very difficult for them to smuggle some gold into the city.
Not long after the group left the city gate, they ran into Lu Li and Duan Lang, who followed later.
"How?"
The two rode up to the team and asked about the tracking.
"Butterflies are ahead." Lu Li looked forward along the direction of Emata, the butterflies kept flying along the forest path into the distance, Lu Li looked down, the grass on the road also had traces of being rolled by the carriage, they should have gone in this direction.
However, after chasing for a while, a fork in the road suddenly appeared.
There are carriage prints on both sides of the fork, and butterflies also stop at the fork, flying, and seem to be struggling with which direction to fly.
"These people are so treacherous and cunning, they should have separated the chests of gold."
There was still powder left in both the gold and the chest, so the butterfly didn't know which way to go.
Finally, the butterfly seemed to make a choice and flew in the direction of the right-hand side.
"In this way, our soldiers are divided into two teams, Duan Lang and I go to the right, and grandpa takes Matama to the left, looking for them separately."
"That's all there is to it."
The two teams separated at the fork in the road, and Lu Li and Duan Lang went to the right.
However, when they hurried to catch up with the carriage, there were only a few drivers, and the carriage was full of stones.
These men were so cunning that they knew that without the golden chariot the marks would be shallow, and they loaded them with stones.
Since these people deliberately dispersed them, it means that they may have to set up an ambush and attack the group that found them, and now the old man and Matama are very dangerous, and they must rush to the rescue immediately.
Lu Li, Duan Lang and the others hurriedly chased after them, but they didn't know that Emamata and the others were in danger.
The butterflies gave them no directions, and they could only follow the trail of the carriage.
But it wasn't long before the carriage forked in again.
It's embarrassing for them.
The group didn't know how to chase down.
"If we divide our troops into two more ways now, we won't have enough men." The squad leader of the Sixteenth Guard reminded.
"You don't have to divide the army into two ways." Ematamata saw the clue, "Chase to the right." ”
"Why is that?" A few people asked puzzled.
"They carried gold, and their feet were not fast, so they naturally had to choose the way to go fast, and the road on the left was bumpy, and it was difficult for carriages to pass, so it was impossible for them to walk with gold."
The road on the left is just a barrier, and the right is where they are going.
The group hurried and chased the road to the right.
Chased them out of a valley.
The carriage prints stretched all the way into the valley, and they had to enter the valley if they wanted to continue their tracking.
However, the valley has been an ambush since ancient times, and once they walk in defenselessly, if they fall into the ambush of the Immortal Slang Dao bandits, they will not only not be able to recover the gold, but they will also die here.
"There is no way, I can only cross the valley in two teams."
There weren't many of them in the first place, so there shouldn't be any problem in dividing them into two teams and speeding across the valley.
Even if they do fall into an ambush, the casualties will not be too great.
Emata nodded and agreed with the old man's suggestion.
The old man led a group of people through the valley first.
There was a mist in the valley, and the old man and his team slowly went in, and they didn't hear any sound, so Emata stabilized his mind and led the second team into the valley.
Not long after they entered the valley, they heard a faint roar overhead, and before they could react, stones kept rolling down around them, and many people were injured.
"Quick, run out of the valley!"
The group quickened and rode across the valley.
Two teams of men and horses ran from both sides, and surrounded the two teams in the valley.
The chess game was almost played, but I didn't expect to fall into the way of these bandits.
The group drew their swords and prepared to fight the bandits to the death.
"Matamata, you're hiding behind my old man! As long as I'm alive, I'll protect you! The old man pulled out his sword, and Emata also drew his long sword for self-defense.
Although she knows how to do a little three-legged cat kung fu, she can deal with some Ishii hooligans, but she can't deal with this kind of bandits.
Now I can only do my best and obey the fate of God.
The two sides fought, and there was chaos, and the old man protected Emamata behind him, and through the mist, Emamata picked up his bow and arrow, aiming at the bandits, one arrow at a time.
She was shooting in good spirits, and when she touched the horse, the arrow was gone.
Now I can only fight to the death.
Emamata also held a sword, and the old man himself was almost unable to take care of it, and soon he was entangled by several bandits, and he couldn't get out, and the bandits saw that she was alone and had the worst martial arts, so they surrounded her.
Emata held a sword, fought and retreated, and was forced to retreat again and again by the bandits.
