Chapter Forty-Nine: Road Encounters a Surprise Attack
That day, after Yan Qinghan and Qi Guangbing split up, Yan Qinghan was thinking about Mu Sheng's ambush with King Gaoping in the palace and what he said, but now that he has been out of the Ten Thousand Dynasty for so long, he has not encountered the ambush she said, but he is a little curious about King Gaoping's movements.
Mu Sheng has also been following Yan Qinghan's team not far along the way, they stop, she stops, they do, she does.
Same as Yan Qinghan, Mu Sheng was also thinking about King Gaoping's ambush all the way here, but there was no change along the way with her, she thought that she hadn't agreed to Fang Lanzhi's request before, could it be that Fang Lanzhi really thought of a way to stop King Gaoping, the actions of this father and daughter are indeed a little unpredictable.
Just before he could think of a result, Mu Sheng found that Yan Qinghan's team had stopped not far away, and it seemed that he was resting and breathing.
Mu Sheng stopped his horse and walked into the bamboo forest on the side to hide himself.
After entering the bamboo forest, Mu Sheng walked a few steps and found that there were traces of footprints in the forest, and the surrounding silence was terrifying.
Mu Sheng stopped, stood quietly in place, and listened carefully.
Turning his head, a dark figure flashed behind him.
Mu Sheng pulled out the running water and chased in the direction of the black shadow.
Soon, Mu Sheng came out of the bamboo forest, and there was a clear river and lake in front of her, and the black shadow was long gone, and she realized that this black shadow had deliberately led her here.
With a sound, Mu Sheng looked back, the black shadow just now had appeared in front of him, masked, and the long sword stabbed straight at her, Mu Sheng was extremely fast on the side of his body, dodging the attack.
Soaring into the air, his body whirling in the air and landing behind the black shadow.
"Who are you!?"
The black shadow was silent, and attacked her again, Mu Sheng stepped back again, not that she was not this person's opponent, but she wanted to ask who he was before ending this person's life.
"You were sent by King Gaoping?" Mu Sheng asked again.
"I'm just ordered to kill you, it's so much of a problem." This time, the shadow spoke, and said in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that he heard Queen Gaoping's answer, Mu Sheng had a certain number in his heart, it seemed that he was not wrong, if this person was here to kill him, then Yan Qinghan must have already appeared his comrade there at this time, it seems that he is just an omission outside of their situation, so he will lead himself out to solve it.
As Mu Sheng guessed, Yan Qinghan had just given the order to let the team rest, and a group of black-clothed masked people rushed out of the bamboo forest not far away and rushed towards them.
Suddenly, the soldiers who had just relaxed all picked up their swords in an instant, and fought with these people, the number of people in black was not much, but there were only a few hundred, but the goal was clear, and they all rushed straight towards Yan Qinghan, and although there were many soldiers, the force was not above these people.
A man in black with a leader-like appearance stabbed straight at Yan Qinghan with a long sword, Yan Qinghan pulled out the long sword on his side, if it was cold lightning, the long sword was like a rainbow, and a dazzling sword light flashed, repelling the man's attack.
The man was shocked by the sword qi for several meters, but he was not injured, and then rushed towards him again. Yan Qinghan saw that the comer was not good, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, it seemed that King Gaoping's people had arrived, but he didn't expect that King Gaoping would have such a secret guard, and he didn't know how many disgraceful things this guy had done by himself.
That person's sword speed is extremely fast, and his sword is even more accurate, if it was an ordinary person, he might have died under his sword, but for Yan Qinghan, his ability could not deal with himself.
I saw that the man in black raised his sword and slashed at the top of Yan Qinghan's head, Yan Qinghan raised his long sword horizontally, and with a strong force, he blocked the man in black back. Then Yan Qinghan turned his wrist and slashed towards the sword on the lower abdomen of the man in black.
The man in black continued to stab in pain, Yan Qinghan quickly jumped lightly, jumped behind the man in black, and landed steadily. squatted down with the cushion when he landed, swung his sword and stabbed at the calf of the man in black, the man in black turned around and slashed away with his sword, but Yan Qinghan slashed straight through his neck, and in an instant, blood gushed out, fell to the side, and lost his life.
Yan Qinghan turned around, the soldiers behind him were still fighting with the remaining black-clothed people, Yan Qinghan rushed towards everyone and fought with the remaining black-clothed people again.
And Mu Sheng also fought with the black shadows in the rivers and lakes outside the bamboo forest.
The corners of Mu Sheng's mouth raised a playful smile, and then rushed towards the black shadow, the black shadow frowned between his eyebrows, he didn't think that she would suddenly attack, Mu Sheng smiled, which made him angry, and he also rushed straight towards Mu Sheng.
The black shadow's long sword stabbed, Mu Sheng's flowing water collided with it, and then wrapped its long sword, the black shadow's brows tightened, but he didn't expect this, Mu Sheng sneered, "Let's go." Mu Sheng raised his arm hard, the long sword of the black shadow was thrown out instantly, he didn't have time to dodge, the flowing water had pierced into his heart, he snorted, Mu Sheng drew the sword, resolute, ruthless, he immediately fell backwards.
After the black shadow died, Mu Sheng ripped off his mask, this person Mu Sheng didn't recognize, Mu Sheng probed his body again, and there was nothing useful left, and in a blink of an eye, there seemed to be black lines on his arms, she rolled up his sleeves and saw that there was a tattoo of a bird on his arm.
Mu Sheng didn't understand what this tattoo meant, but it was certain that it must be someone sent by King Gaoping, and in a blink of an eye, she thought of Yan Qinghan again, and didn't know if he was out of danger at the moment, and then ran in the direction of the bamboo forest, intending to check.
With Yan Qinghan's shot, soon the remaining people in black fell to the ground one after another, Yan Qinghan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and only felt a headache, originally there were not many soldiers and horses left in his hands, but now he has lost hundreds of people, and he is even more annoyed with Gaoping Wang Fangzhi in his heart, and when he returns, he will definitely not be able to bypass him.
Yan Qinghan also noticed the tattoos on the arms of these black-clothed people, lifted his sleeves, and saw the bird pattern, and the sun surrounded the bird, Yan Qinghan sighed coldly: "King Gaoping, really your ambition is revealed." ”
Solving these tricky guys, Yan Qinghan ordered the team and continued to set off, he knew that his movements would naturally be reported to King Gaoping, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, but King Gaoping's wishful thinking was also in vain, he didn't expect that he would take Lu Yan's military power halfway and order the soldiers and horses.
When Mu Sheng rushed back to the bamboo forest, only the soldiers and men in black who died were left, seeing these guys on the ground and the tattoos on their arms, Mu Sheng knew that it seemed that Yan Qinghan had successfully solved them, and in the battle for military power, she found that Yan Qinghan's martial arts were not shallow, and now it seems that he is indeed deeply hidden.
Mu Sheng didn't have time to think about it, so she took back the horse in the bamboo forest, got on the horse, and continued to drive to Dongchuan, and this trouble also made her and Yan Qinghan's team get rid of her, and it wasn't until she arrived in Dongchuan that she saw Yan Qinghan's team again in front of the Dongchuan City Gate.
……
In order to ambush and assassinate Yan Qinghan, King Gaoping rushed out of the city early in the morning to ambush them, and in order to avoid rumors, he also deliberately picked a place far away from the Wan Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the plan he felt foolproof had just begun to end.
Yan Qinghan and Mu Sheng's battle with the group of black-clothed secret guards under him was clearly seen by the subordinates he sent to investigate.
"Back to the prince, the plan failed." The spy who returned the report had a solemn tone in his tone.
King Gao Ping was still secretly complacent, but he didn't expect this result, "What!?" How could it fail!? ”
"None of the men sent survived, Yan Qinghan's martial arts are extremely deep, in addition, there is a woman who has been following them, and as a result, our people went to rob and kill and were killed."
"Woman? What kind of woman? Hearing his subordinates talk about women, King Gao Ping asked suspiciously.
"Tall, thin, cold and arrogant, wearing a cyan dress, his subordinates don't recognize him." Hearing the description of his subordinates, King Gaoping's mind came up with Mu Sheng's figure.
"Mu Zhaoyi? She can also do kung fu!? This woman is really not simple! ”
"By the way, the prince still has one more matter, his subordinates found that General Lu Yanlu was undressed and sabered, and was escorted in the team by the soldiers who went out."
"Lu Yan? Do you mean that Yan Qinghan is now commanding a heavy army? King Gao Ping felt that although he did not succeed in the ambush this time, he seemed to have made more discoveries.
"Yes, and his henchman Qi Guang didn't go with him."
"Interesting, this Yan Qinghan is really not as simple as we thought, it seems that he has endured so many years to be a puppet emperor, and now he is about to turn over."
King Gao Ping said meaningfully, and his subordinates looked at him like this, and they didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
"Then the prince, do we still want to continue to ambush?" The subordinate asked tentatively.
"What else is there to ambush, when he kills all the king's men? There is no need to follow him anymore, and we will return to Wanchao immediately. ”
"Yes."
A hint of treachery flashed in King Gaoping's eyes, it seems that Yan Qinghan has already obtained half of the talismans, and now his plan must be accelerated, if he waits for him to turn over, where will he still have a chance to ascend to the position of the overlord he has dreamed of for a long time.
A conspiracy more than ten years ago gave him the opportunity to learn the whereabouts of the other half of the talismans, originally he thought that he could have the opportunity to grasp the power, complacent, but he didn't expect that in the end he ran into a hard bone that was hard and soft and hard, so that he was busy for nothing, and he was happy.
He was already a foreign king, and no one in the Ten Thousand Dynasty took him seriously, and finally had a chance, he naturally would not be willing to be a little prince, he didn't believe it, Lu Lan was a woman, how could he be worthy of holding the power of the court, this was originally not hers, it was better to take it from him, and it would be more appropriate for him to do it.
One conspiracy after another involved one innocent person after another, and their struggle finally buried the happy and carefree lives of these people, and also changed their undeserved fate.
