Chapter 43: Ambush

Luofeng Slope is located in Deyang County Baima Pass outside the ancient post road of 30 miles, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Bei's account under the strategist Pang Tong led the troops into Shu, on this road was Liu Zhang engaged in Zhang Ren ambush shot and killed, then buried here, Pang Tong called Feng Chick, so this place is called Luofeng Slope by later generations. This road is a mountain road, the road is narrow, at most only two horses can be accommodated, there are trees not far from the roadside, Wang Ran and Li Jin'er are hiding in this dead tree at this time.

Yesterday, Wang Ran and the Li brothers and sisters chased Qi Yuanzhen's men and horses for a day, and arrived at Zhiluo County, Hanzhou County in the evening, seeing that Qi Yuanzhen and others stayed in the county to rest, they hurried out of the city, and set up an ambush here in advance, and after determining the location, Li Zongyu returned to Luo County alone to investigate the movements of Qi Yuanzhen and others.

Wang Ran looked up at the sky, it was probably Shen Shi, if it was calculated at yesterday's speed, Qi Yuanzhen and the others should not be far from here, Wang Ran carefully thought about the plan he had prepared before to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The sound of the horse's hooves came, Wang Ran listened for a while, judged that it should not be a large group of people, signaled Li Jin'er not to be nervous, and after a while, seeing that it was Li Zongyu riding over, Wang Ran whistled, Li Zongyu hurriedly dismounted and ran into the woods and said: "They are about three miles away from here, I'll go hide the horse." Then he hurried out of the forest and rode over, and with a few flicks of his fingers he turned back again.

Wang Ran looked at the Li brothers and sisters with tired faces but excited eyes, and reminded: "Although we are only trying to kidnap Qi Yuanzhen this time, his guards are all fully armed masters, so once we do it later, we must not be soft, so we must not be soft on our hands, so as to kill with one blow and leave no trouble." Although the two brothers and sisters were both strong in martial arts, they had never actually killed anyone, and Wang Ran was worried that they would have compassion and give the guards a chance.

Li Zongyu and Li Jin'er nodded solemnly, when they assassinated Wang Jien before, they were unwilling to kill in vain, resulting in themselves being besieged, and in the end, not only did they fail to succeed, Li Zongyu was also injured, so they also thought so.

The three of them stopped talking and quickly dispersed as planned, Wang Ran carefully hid in the pit dug in advance, covering his body with dead branches and fallen leaves, while the Li brothers and sisters hid behind the boulders on the opposite hillside, the cold wind whined through the canyon, and a murderous aura spread.

After about a stick of incense time, the neighing of chariots and horses gradually came, Wang Ran carefully took out the fire fold in his arms, and ignited it by the sound of the whirring wind, and took out a blast with his other hand - close to the end of the year, there are people selling this thing in the streets and alleys, and Wang Ran bought two when they passed through Luo County yesterday, although it is difficult to cause harm to people, but its sound can make the livestock frightened, and it is suitable to create chaos.

"Da... Da... Wang Ran patiently waited for the knight to walk slowly, and when he heard the creaking sound of wheels coming from the front, he lit the cannon and threw it forward, and then quickly got up and ran towards the woods behind him.

The sound of swishing arrows breaking through the air came behind him, and the puff was nailed behind Wang Ran, Wang Ran continued to run forward while rolling and crawling, and roared in his heart, boom, why hasn't it exploded yet, but don't be a bad explosion.

The Li brothers and sisters who were hiding behind the boulder saw that Wang Ran was in danger, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, and they wanted to rush out immediately, but thinking of Wang Ran's advice, they had to grit their teeth and restrain themselves.

The loud sound of "bang ......" frightened Wang Ran to the ground, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, worried about being shot, but he heard the neighing of the horses behind him, turned over and saw that the horses were really frightened, and at this time they were all crazy and kept jumping forward and backward, and the guards on the horse naturally could no longer shoot arrows.

A few of the guards had even been dismounted from their horses, but they quickly rolled to the side to avoid the horses' hooves with some skilful skill, and then stood up and chased after Wang Ran.

Finally reached this point, Li Zongyu and Li Jin'er didn't need to signal to each other, they almost simultaneously swept out of the boulder and rushed down the hill, and rushed to the convoy with a breath.

"Don't chase it, come back to protect your lordship." The leader of the guards guarding the carriage took out the bending knife on his back, blocked the sword stabbed by Li Jin'er, and hurriedly called back several guards who were chasing Wang Ran.

Seeing that the several guards who were chasing him behind him turned around and ran back, Wang Ran, who had already run to the edge of the woods, turned around and chased after him, and at the same time took out another explosive battle in his hand, lit it and threw it into the convoy, there was another loud bang, and the mount that had just quieted down began to go crazy again, and the guards couldn't help but hurry.

The martial arts of the Li brothers and sisters have taken a light and strange path, and this chaotic situation is even more conducive to them to show their skills.

I saw that Li Jin'er used the soft sword in her hand as fast as lightning, and she was not afraid of being besieged by three people, and pierced the shoulder of a guard in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, her body not only swept towards another guard who was blocking in front of the carriage, her posture was like a shock, and the blood around her was not touching her at all.

Although not as elegant as Li Jin'er, Li Zongyu's momentum with only a pair of fists and feet is not bad, and he can often knock his opponent out with one move, and his efficiency is even better.

Wang Ran touched a guard who had fallen outside the convoy, picked up the bending knife in his hand, saw that he was still breathing, gritted his teeth and gave him a knife, and then quickly threw himself towards the carriage.

The guards guarding the carriage found Wang Ran, so they took a few steps forward and slashed at him, Wang Ran also hurriedly greeted him with a knife, and the two made a few moves, Wang Ran gradually became a little overwhelmed - the guard's martial arts were not weak, and at this time, the condescending man completely suppressed Wang Ran, who could not use a knife.

With a bang, the knife and the knife collided together, Wang Ran's arm was sore, and he almost let the knife go, but the guard on the horse was more imposing, and it was a knife that slashed down on the head, Wang Ran had to raise the knife to block, but his arms were already a little sore, and he couldn't adjust his posture in a hurry, but the guard used all his strength to swing the knife down, Wang Ran only felt that his arms were numb, and the blade on his head sank violently, and he was about to split on his head.

Wang Ran had no choice but to kneel, then turned around and put aside the blade, stood up and was about to swing the knife, but saw that the guard who had almost killed him just now was lying on his horse at this time, and a small silver bell was nailed to his back.

Wang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully glanced at Li Zongyu, who was entangled with three guards not far away, and then climbed into the carriage, which was no longer guarded at this time, carefully picked the curtain with a knife, and the tip of a sword stabbed out from behind the curtain.

Li Jin'er and Li Zongyu were fighting with the guards when they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop!" ”

Turning their heads to look, they saw that Wang Ran had already held Qi Yuanzhen with a knife and was standing next to the carriage, the two of them were suddenly relieved, and when they saw that the guards really didn't dare to move, they quickly leaned towards Wang Ran's side.

Wang Ran saw that none of the Li brothers and sisters seemed to be injured, and he was also a lot more relieved, so he continued to shout: "Get off the horse." ”

The guards had to obediently dismount, Wang Ran counted and saw that there were still six guards standing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these guards were really elite and extraordinary.

"Drive the horse away, and then take a hundred steps back." Wang Ran continued to threaten.

The six guards had gloomy faces, but they had no choice but to do as they were told, drove the horses away fiercely, and then faced Wang Ran and the others and slowly retreated.

Wang Ran dragged Qi Yuanzhen back into the car and tied him, let Li Jin'er look at him, and then drove the carriage away, and Li Zongyu rode a horse to explore the way in front of the car.

"I'm an official of the imperial court, kidnapping me, aren't you afraid of being raided and exterminated?" Qi Yuan said hatefully.

"Shut up!" Li Jin'er kicked him, and then asked Wang Ran, "Where are we going now?" Why didn't you take the opportunity to kill the six guards just now? ”

"Dogs are inevitably jumping over the wall, making it easy for them to tie their hands, and it is not easy for them to be killed. Anyway, they won't be able to catch up without horses, so let's drive a little bit and find a place to hide later. Wang Ran said in a deep voice.

"What do you want? As long as you don't kill me, I can agree, I have a lot of treasures in this car, all of which are worth a lot of money, and you can take them all. Qi Yuanzhen still didn't give up.

Wang Ran thought for a while, stopped Li Jin'er, who was about to knock Qi Yuanzhen unconscious, and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Wang Jien?" Why did he promote you and send people to protect you? ”

"You're here for the king? You were the ones who assassinated him at the Sword Gate before? Qi Yuanzhen exclaimed.

Li Jin'er kicked him again and threatened: "Will we judge you or will you judge us?" ”

Qi Yuanzhen then hung his head and said: "I met Lord Wang fourteen years ago, and I helped him do a great thing this year, so he promoted me to be the envoy of this Bomai, as for why he sent someone to protect me, he didn't explain, but I think it's because I know some of his unsightly secrets, and he is afraid that I will fall into the hands of his enemies like this today." ”

Wang Ran's heart was shocked, but his face was silent, and he was about to speak, but Li Jin'er had already preemptively said, "What secret?" ”

Qi Yuanzhen looked up at the two of them, his face hesitated, and he refused to explain, Li Jin'er was about to give him another kick, Wang Ran suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, his ears moved, and he threw himself down Li Jin'er.
