Chapter 424: Night Attack (I)
Early the next morning, the emperor immediately announced that he would return to Beijing early, the original plan was canceled, but Mu Lingxuan was kept in the dark, and he didn't know until the end that he suppressed the anger in his heart in front of everyone, and just swept his eyes over Mu Qingfeng.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the mighty team set off for Beijing.
Mu Qingfeng's sedan chair was at the forefront, in order to protect the safety of the emperor's return to Beijing, arrangements were deployed overnight to protect the emperor and King Chen, this time the emperor even proposed that the two of them take a sedan chair together in order to take care of the safety of King Chen, and let Mu Qingfeng send elite soldiers to escort him.
Originally, there was nothing to do along the way, but when the marching queue reached a mountain col, it was raining heavily on the horizon, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the march was very difficult, the road was muddy and slippery, Mu Qingfeng led the team to see this sudden situation and immediately made arrangements.
"The team continued to march slowly." Mu Qingfeng knew that this rain was menacing. The speed of progress to the point becomes slow.
Mu Qingfeng ordered to move on. With such rain, you should not continue to move forward, the mountain road is steep, the road is slippery, and if you are not careful, there will be unexpected situations. But if you stop to rest and rectify, I am afraid that in the evening, the sky is dark, and in such a terrain and environment, I am afraid that it will be even more dangerous, and if it is really at that time, no one can control the change of the situation.
The rain was foggy, the roads were muddy and slippery, and from time to time there was the sound of horses slipping and falling, accompanied by all kinds of chaotic sounds. Some of the family members brought by the officials complained endlessly.
Suddenly, we came to an extremely steep section of the road, next to which was a canyon, with the sound of stones sliding from time to time, and the sound of the rolling river below.
Mu Qingfeng thought for a while in his heart, such a situation was quite similar to the mountain road he encountered when he went to the border pass, steep and full of crises. At this point, you can only be more careful.
"Heighten your vigilance." Mu Qingfeng shouted towards the advancing team, in order to cheer up everyone.
The sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the sound of rain, seemed chaotic.
In the emperor's sedan chair, King Chen's face turned pale, "King Chen, is your body not very comfortable?" The emperor asked with a little concern, after all, King Chen was assassinated in Wuguo, and now his body has not healed and he has to rush back to Beijing, the road is bumpy, I am afraid that King Chen will not be able to stand it because of this. Everyone knows about King Chen's weakness, and when he thought of this, the emperor couldn't help frowning, feeling that there was something wrong with Mu Qingfeng's move.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiao Wang's life is hard." King Chen was obviously displeased, King Chen knew what the purpose of Emperor Wu invited him to come this time, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of boredom in his heart, revealing a trace of gloomy expression without a trace, but he was quickly covered up by him with his evil smile.
What people didn't expect was that suddenly, there was a sound of knives and guns colliding outside, and the sedan sedan shook violently. Moments later, the screams of people outside were heard continuously.
"There are assassins."
The emperor was shocked, his face was calm, but fine sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
On the other hand, King Chen, who was opposite, didn't have the slightest hint of worry, and quietly listened to everything that was happening outside.
When the road section became gentle, Mu Qingfeng suddenly became alert, just now he finally walked out of the canyon safely, and now he has reached a relatively gentle road section, which is covered by dense bushes on both sides, but the hidden aura in it makes Mu Qingfeng notice the strangeness, and the falcon-like eyes look towards the murderous grass, and everything around him becomes subtle.
Mu Qingfeng secretly called Mu Qing and several military attachés, and after arranging the manpower, sure enough, just halfway through, more than a dozen façade killers suddenly broke out of the grass, all of them were extraordinary.
Mu Qingfeng stepped forward to defend against the enemy, the emperor's sedan chair has been secretly changed by him, if these people are here to assassinate the emperor, they will inevitably waste a lot of time, there is an opportunity to set up a sedan chair, and the enemy can't tell for a while.
As Mu Qingfeng guessed, one of the teams quickly changed their formation and stabbed towards the sedan chair behind Mu Qingfeng, but after the sedan chair was stabbed through, they opened the curtain and saw that it was an empty sedan chair.
The man in black realized that he was planning and wanted to concentrate on attacking Mu Qingfeng, but the rain still did not subside, and several people besieged Mu Qingfeng by means of the rain, Mu Qing had been sent by Mu Qingfeng to kill the enemy in the vicinity of the emperor's sedan chair, Mu Lingxuan heard the sound outside, and immediately jumped out, seeing that the situation outside was not good, Mu Lingxuan was found among the people in black, the long sword went straight in, and flew towards Mu Lingxuan, Mu Lingxuan turned sideways, and with the help of the whirling and flying kick, the long sword in the man's hand fell to the ground.
Mu Qingfeng was a scene of one enemy and ten, and suddenly there was a murderous aura, several people held iron blades against Mu Qingfeng, and at the last moment, Mu Qingfeng was alone in the air, his expression was gloomy, and there was a burst of murderous aura all over his body, and the sound of killing on the side intersected, and the calm here was a little more weird.
In just a moment, Mu Qingfeng quickly separated more than a dozen figures between several people as if in a moment, and with just one shot, more than a dozen people in front of him fell to the ground one after another, and the speed was so fast that people were stunned and surprised.
No one knew that Mu Qingfeng's martial arts had reached such a point, Mu Lingxuan saw it really, but he would never tolerate Mu Qingfeng being far ahead of him, glancing towards the corner of the jungle, and for a while he continued to kill a team of people in black, compared to the people in front, the later team of people, the martial arts were even more superb, and more than a dozen guards were killed and fell to the ground one after another, and for a while, in the rain, the air was filled with the smell of blood and murderous aura.
The night is getting thicker, the rain has stopped, but at this moment, I can't see how many people the enemy is coming, after two rounds of fighting, whether it is Mu Qingfeng's manpower or the strength behind the team, it has been greatly reduced, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the lives of the entire people will be worried.
Suddenly, there was a pleasant sound of the piano from a certain sedan chair in the queue, Mu Qingfeng's eyes quickly found the location of the sound, and the few people who confronted him did not give him a chance to breathe at all, and when he saw Mu Qingfeng's expression moving slightly, he stepped forward again.
But at this time, the expression on Mu Qingfeng's face made them wonder why, and they smiled with a rebellious and shocking evil charm.
The sound of the piano pierced the slaughter in the night, echoing in the valley with a pleasant and intoxicating crispness, Mu Qingfeng didn't expect that this Bai Yu had always refused to admit her identity in front of him, why did she help him now, it seemed that she didn't want to die here.
