Chapter 678: An Ambush
"Haven't Lord Huang and Mrs. Li replied?"
Two more days have passed, Qin Zhao is still stationed in the same place, the dry food on their bodies has long been insufficient, and they have relied on the soldiers below to hunt for the past two days to be able to fill their stomachs.
The people below shook their heads helplessly when they heard Qin Zhao's words, the emperor didn't know how many times he had asked in the past two days, Lord Huang and Taiwei Li estimated that they had already received the letter, and if there was a reply, it should have arrived, but they had not received a reply for a long time, if it was not deliberately not replying, then it was very likely that the soldier in charge of transmitting the letter had an accident in the middle of the way, Qin Zhao had an anxious look on his face at this time.
"Brothers, search for me well, some people have already said that they saw Qin Zhao in this vicinity, everyone should look carefully, if you find it, the Queen Mother will definitely be rewarded!"
Suddenly, I heard the voice of someone talking in the distance, the night was very quiet all around, and this was a valley, the voice of talking came, Qin Zhao and the people below heard this, and immediately had a vigilant look on their faces.
Qin Zhao was calm, he had long known that the Queen Mother would definitely send people to search here, they had been stationed here for two days, and the Queen Mother's subordinates should also find them.
Qin Zhao closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully, the footsteps sounded like they were all on foot, not on horseback, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Qin Zhao pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished, it was estimated that there would be no more than thirty people coming, Qin Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, and vaguely saw a person who came from a fire, and seemed to be very vigilant, and did not make many fires, but only raised one or two torches, which could illuminate the road, but it was not noticeable.
Chen Li and Sun Yang heard this voice, and they were immediately very alert, they did not speak, but communicated through gestures, and quickly extinguished the bonfire on the ground, and then Chen Li and Sun Yang took out their swords, guarded in front of Qin Zhao, and signaled the other brothers to hide in secret, which happened to be in a relatively hidden position.
"Brothers, I searched carefully, if I received it, I must catch it alive, now the current queen and the emperor's two children are in our hands, if the emperor is also arrested, even if we win this battle, you can also, return to your hometown, honor your parents, search me carefully!"
The voice of the person who took the lead sounded very loud, although he told the brothers below not to make a noise, but his voice was quite loud, Qin Zhao hid in a pit under the protection of Chen Li and Sun Yang.
In the past two days, Qin Zhao had already expected that the queen would inevitably send someone to search, so he had already set up an ambush in the vicinity, countless pits had been dug on the ground, and various mechanisms had also been prepared, he, Chen Li and Sun Yang were hiding in one of the most hidden pits, and the rest of the soldiers had also been hidden.
They just lit a bonfire here, and these people will surely find it when they search here, so they will also search the vicinity, and it is impossible to hide from it, and there will be a battle.
The rest of the people have already hidden, and the footsteps seem to be getting closer and closer, Qin Zhao and the others did not speak, hiding in the pit and pricking up their ears to listen, because they were hiding underground, so the footsteps became more obvious, Qin Zhao sensitively perceived, they would immediately search this side, and sure enough, in the next second, they heard the sound of pushing away the grass.
"Look, sir, there's a campfire here, and it's hot!"
Soon I heard a soldier at the bottom say, this voice sounded extremely excited, Qin Zhao smiled coldly, Chen Li and Sun Yang had extremely serious expressions on their faces at this time, no matter what, although they were prepared, but what they wanted to protect was Qin Zhao's safety, this was not a joke, if something happened, this was a matter of losing their heads.
The man at the head heard what the soldiers below said, his face showed a happy expression, raised his hand to signal the man with the torch to follow him, raised the torch, and looked at the bonfire on the ground was really warm, he touched it with his hand, and immediately retracted his hand, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked around, for some reason the cold wind here made him feel afraid.
"Great, someone has already said that Qin Zhao saw it near here, this fire must be a fire made by them, and it is so hot, it must not have gone far, it is estimated that it is still around here, brothers, go search for me!"
The man spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud noise, which frightened him and staggered, and he almost fell to the ground, but he saw a firework flash in the sky, and the fireworks were yellow.
"What is this?"
He just asked a word, and as soon as the words fell, he heard a voice coming from somewhere else, and a group of more than 20 people stood in the middle, but they were startled at the same time, and suddenly a lot of people appeared out of nowhere, raised their swords and rushed towards them, and the man at the head understood when he saw this situation, they were ambushed!
Qin Zhao estimated that he had already known that they were coming, so he had already hidden in secret, and now it was dark again, and he couldn't see the road conditions clearly, so they were designed, and the man at the head hurriedly wanted to run away when he saw this situation, Chen Li and Sun Yang had already discovered that he was going to run away at this time, jumped up from the pit, and rushed forward to catch him with an arrow.
"Help! Help me! ”
The man at the head shouted vigorously, hoping that his men would come to his rescue, but now the scene was chaotic, because of the sudden attack, none of them were prepared, and even before the sword could be taken out, the head had already fallen to the ground.
"Ahhh
Seeing a human head rolling to his feet, the man led by him screamed in fright, but Chen Li and Sun Yang were calm.
The numbers on both sides were about the same, but their side was well prepared and had already set up an ambush, so the battle was over quickly.
Their side was unscathed, not a single soldier was injured, but the other party was completely lost, only the man who was left at the head was left, seeing this situation, this man was so frightened that his body trembled, and the crotch of his pants was a water trace, which turned out to be scared to pee.
"Heroes, heroes, please let me go, I won't tell the Queen Mother!"
The man opened his mouth and begged for mercy frantically, Qin Zhao heard that there was already silence around him, and he also knew that the matter had been resolved, so he jumped up from the pit, stood in front of the man, and glanced at him coldly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor spares your life, the Emperor spares your life, I am just begging for a bite to eat under the hands of the Queen Mother, I have absolutely no intention of harming you, and you will not say a word to the Queen Mother if you let me go!"
The man saw Qin Zhao in front of him and recognized it at a glance, and Qin Zhao in front of him hurriedly climbed to the front, hugged Qin Zhao's feet, and begged for mercy.
Qin Zhao frowned tightly, and before he could raise his foot and kick him away, Sun Yang and Chen Li next to him had already stepped forward to grab him and throw him aside.
"What should the emperor do with this person? Do you want to kill them all as well? ”
