Chapter 162: Ambush

After the dinner, Zhao Yikun sent someone to send Fu Qinglian and the three back to the post station. Although it was already night, on the way back to the post station from Zhao Yikun's mansion, there were not a few people on the way, and it seemed that the people of Luzhou were frightened by the epidemic.

Hua Shenyue suddenly felt a little guilty, she turned her head and said to Fu Qinglian: "Ah Qing, we should have set off tonight." ”

Fu Qinglian also turned his head to look at Hua Shenyue, he knew what Hua Shenyue was thinking, so he was relieved: "It's okay, we have been on the road for so long, it's time to rest for a night, if you are tired, you will have more time delayed." ”

When Hua Shenyue heard this, the guilt in her heart was a little less. From the capital to Luzhou, they were already traveling day and night, and on the way back to Huayuan Valley, they couldn't rest, if they were sick on the way back to Huayuan Valley, it would take more time to delay.

The next day, the genius was slightly bright, and Zhao Yikun sent someone to send ten horses to Fu Qinglian and waited in front of the post station.

Chen Shi pushed open the door of the post station and saw horses waiting at the door. Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue led the horse out, followed by nine guards randomly selected by Fu Qinglian.

"Your Royal Highness, my lord sent me to bring you these horses." The guards sent by Zhao Yikun to send horses to Fu Qinglian said respectfully to Fu Qinglian.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for me." Fu Qinglian said gratefully.

"Your Royal Highness King Jing has a smooth journey." After the guard finished speaking, he left the station.

Hua Shenyue walked to Fu Qinglian's side, looked at the back of the guards leaving, and said, "Ah Qing, this Lord Zhao is not simple, he can see what we are thinking at a glance, but I feel that he is a good person." ”

From Zhao Yikun's initiative to lend a horse to Hua Shenyue, to the banquet when he saw that Hua Shenyue wanted to drink peach blossom wine, it all showed that Zhao Yikun was very good at guessing people's hearts. But judging from his treatment of the people who were infected with the epidemic, he was always thinking about the people and was indeed a good official.

Fu Qinglian nodded, he also found out, but at present, it is not a bad thing.

"Aqing, let's go." Hua Shenyue turned her head sideways and said.

"Okay, let's go." Fu Qinglian also looked sideways at Hua Shenyue and nodded.

After passing through Weinan City, Hua Shenyue had learned to ride a horse and could skillfully control the horses under her. She didn't want to hold Fu Qinglian back, so she had to constantly improve herself.

Hua Shenyue and Fu Qinglian walked side by side in the front, Chen Shi followed closely behind the two, and the other guards also followed on horseback. Hua Shenyue and they had to rush back as soon as possible, so the group rushed to Huayuan Valley as fast as possible.

Fu Qinglian and his entourage rode to the city gate and soon left Luzhou.

Hua Shenyue followed Fu Qinglian's speed, and she ran forward side by side with Fu Qinglian with ease, without the slightest reluctance.

Fu Qinglian couldn't help but look sideways at her, obviously he didn't know how to ride a horse before, and he didn't stay by his side for long, but he was already so skilled, Fu Qinglian couldn't help but admire Hua Shenyue in his heart.

Hua Shenyue didn't know Fu Qinglian's thoughts, she looked at the front intently, just thinking about hurrying, just to return to Huayuan Valley as soon as possible to get medicinal herbs.

Fu Qinglian and his entourage drove non-stop to Huayuan Valley, who would have thought that when they drove to a mountain path at sunset, they were ambushed.

"Ah Qing, look ahead!" Hua Shenyue tightened the reins to stop the horse, and in front, a group of men in black were approaching them.

Fu Qinglian and his party also tightened the reins and stopped in place, and Fu Qinglian's expression became serious. There was no accident on the way to Luzhou, but he was ambushed on the way back to Huayuan Valley.

"Lord Wang, there are people in the back!" A guard shouted.

Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, a group of masked people surrounded them.

With mountains and forests on the left side of the path and cliffs on the right, the group rode their horses and had no way to retreat, so it seemed that they had no choice but to meet the enemy head-on.

The masked man slowly approached Fu Qinglian and his party, and when he got closer, he pulled his legs and rushed towards Fu Qinglian and his party. Fu Qinglian and his entourage drew their weapons one after another, preparing to meet the enemy.

The masked men had already rushed up, and several masked men drew their swords and stabbed Fu Qinglian, who was sitting on the horse, and Fu Qinglian flew up from the horse with the help of light skills, avoiding the masked man's attack.

Seeing this, Hua Shenyue swept away with her sword, and several masked people fell to the ground in response, these masked people didn't know who had taken them, all of them looked fierce and vicious, it seemed that they wanted to kill them, but now they really can't figure out who they have a grudge with.

Fu Qinglian had already fallen back on the horse, and the masked man saw Hua Shenyue intervening to protect Fu Qinglian, and turned to attack her.

The masked man stabbed at Hua Shenyue with a sword, but Hua Shenyue jumped up and flew up right now, using light skills, and dodged the attack.

The masked men then attacked the horses, and they stabbed them with their swords, and the horses were in pain and frightened, and ran forward with a shout, and several masked men had no time to dodge and were knocked away by the horses.

Seeing this, the other masked men followed suit. They all turned their attention to the horses, and if they didn't have them, it would be much easier to do it.

After a while, all the horses ran away, Fu Qinglian and the three of them and the guards were surrounded by masked people in the middle, Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue were back to back, ready to fight at any time. Now there are only three of them left, and there are still a few guards, and I don't know if I can get out of it.

"Ah Qing, it seems that they have been prepared." Hua Shenyue stared at the masked man in front of her viciously and said, she didn't expect them to be ambushed here.

"Well, it seems that you can only move forward if you kill them all." Fu Qingqing's eyes were cold, but the tone of his answer to Hua Shenyue was not as cold as his eyes.

"Give it all to me!" The masked man calls the shots.

Although there are many people on the other side, but in Fu Qinglian's team, after all, there are three masters, Fu Qinglian, Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi, even if there are fewer enemies, they are not very difficult, and the martial arts of these masked people do not seem to be very strong, they should just be amateurs who are hired at will.

It seems that the person who wants to kill them has not investigated how high their martial arts are, so although a lot of people have come over, most of them are embroidered pillows that are not useful.

Fu Qinglian took the sword and spun it in place, and when it stopped, all the masked people around him fell to the ground. These masked people, well, although they all had swords in their hands, they were obviously not Fu Qinglian's opponents, and soon they were bleeding like rivers, and their limbs and bones were scattered everywhere at random.

However, the guards on Fu Qinglian's side were outnumbered, and after a fight, the guards were all killed.

Hua Shenyue looked at the corpse on the ground, and her expression was a little complicated. Every time they go out, it seems that they will encounter assassination, it seems that there are too many people secretly staring at the position of the prince, even if one Meng Zhendong dies, there will be more people who want to get these glory and wealth.

Hua Shenyue was a little angry, and the movements in her hands became more and more ruthless. She didn't know why so many people wanted to hunt down Fu Qinglian, but every time the assassin didn't succeed, only the innocent guards died.

The movements of Hua Shenyue's hands became faster, and every time she stabbed out a sword, a masked man fell to the ground.

Hua Shenyue's eyes were red, at this moment, she just wanted to avenge the innocent dead guards. Since the masked man is a dead hand, she doesn't have to show mercy.

When Hua Shenyue was entangled with the person in front of her, a man in black behind her took the opportunity to assassinate her. How did Hua Shenyue know the situation behind him, as soon as Fu Qinglian turned his head, he saw that Hua Shenyue was in danger, and before he had time to think about it, he raised his sword to block the masked man's attack.

However, Fu Qinglian was attacked before and after, and the two masked men stabbed Fu Qinglian with swords, Chen Shi was quick and helped Fu Qinglian block the sword behind him, but the masked man in front of him stabbed Fu Qinglian in the shoulder with a sword.

After Hua Shenyue finished killing the person in front of her, as soon as she turned around, she saw that Fu Qinglian was injured in order to protect her, Hua Shenyue was furious, rushed over directly, and stabbed the masked man to death with a sword.

"Aqing, are you okay?" Hua Shenyue came to Fu Qinglian's side with an arrow step, and asked worriedly, she was so weak in the previous assassination, this time in order to protect Fu Qinglian, she secretly practiced swordsmanship.

originally thought that this time she could finally protect Ah Qing, but she didn't expect that Fu Qinglian was still injured to protect her.

"It's just a small injury, it's not in the way." Fu Qinglian said, and killed the masked man again. Fortunately, it was the left hand shoulder that was injured, but if it was the right shoulder, it would be difficult to do.

Seeing that Fu Qinglian was injured, the masked leader quickly came to Fu Qinglian's side and fought with him.

"Kill Fu Lianlian!" The masked man shouted loudly while fighting Fu Qinglian.

The other masked people also immediately surrounded Fu Qinglian.

The masked people beside Hua Shenyue and Chen Shijie immediately rushed to Fu Qinglian's side, and Fu Qinglian's shoulder was oozing blood.

The masked people all began to attack Fu Qinglian, and although Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi were by his side, they were also entangled by the masked people. Fu Qinglian was already injured, and under the attack of a group of masked men, he was gradually defeated.

Fu Qinglian was pressed back by the masked man while fighting, however, the direction of Fu Qinglian's retreat was the cliff. Hua Shenyue turned her head, only to find that Fu Qinglian was so close to the cliff, could it be that the other party's purpose was to force Fu Qinglian off the cliff?

"Not good!" Hua Shenyue shouted in a low voice, she quickly solved the people who were entangled around her, and ran to Fu Qinglian's side.

"Chen Shi, protect Aqing!" Hua Shenyue shouted loudly while running towards Fu Qinglian.

Chen Shi turned his head and saw that Fu Qinglian was being forced to get closer and closer to the cliff, and instantly understood the masked man's intentions. He killed indiscriminately in an orderly manner, solved the masked people around him, and quickly ran towards Fu Qinglian.

Seeing that Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi had realized their intentions, the masked leader ordered the other masked men to speed up their attack. Fu Qinglian was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and if he took two more steps back, he was afraid that he would fall off the cliff.

Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi flew directly into the crowd with light skills and landed beside Fu Qinglian.
