Chapter 622: Digging a pit all the way
Hua Changwen's horse team marched very fast, and by dusk it had already traveled three hundred miles, and by late at night, it had traveled another two hundred miles, and there was no intention of stopping to rest.
Xiao Chen followed all the way, because the other party didn't talk on the road, he couldn't get any information,
It seems that just following is not enough, he plans to do it,
There was only one road ahead, and it was expected that those people would have to go, and Da Hei's foot strength was outstanding, and he soon left the horse team far behind,
found the best place to set up an ambush, and the little marquis left the vine-attribute leaf martial spirit, and then hid more than two hundred meters away.
A quarter of an hour later, the Blood Shadow Hall horse team appeared,
"Stop," a guard at the peak of the Xuanwu Realm shouted,
In a few seconds, the horse team changed from a marching state to a standstill, except for the four senior guards, the rest were all guards above the Xianwu Realm, and while stopping, they surrounded the carriage in the middle, paying close attention to all directions,
The little marquis who was hiding not far away was sincerely admired, the quality of this team was very high, much stronger than the so-called hunting team composed of those sects,
"What's going on," Hua Changwen poked his head out and asked,
The guard who shouted to stop said in a deep voice, "I noticed that there are soul masters nearby,"
Hua Changwen frowned: "Is it aimed at us?"
"Probably not, there should be only one person on the other side, and he shouldn't dare to come to our side," the guard replied, "but to be on the safe side, I think it's necessary to find out the other party's intentions,"
"You did the right thing," Hua Changwen nodded and said: "Since the other party is not numerous, then it will not pose a threat to us, continue to hurry, our task is very heavy, the sooner we arrive at the destination, the sooner we can complete the task assigned by Your Majesty,"
"Yes,"
The team continued to set off and soon returned to their previous speed,
An inconspicuous leaf on the side of the road burrowed into the soil, and when the dozen or so horses in front arrived, black vines suddenly broke through the soil and wrapped around the four hooves of the war horse.
More than a dozen horses lost their center of gravity at the same time, and the people on horseback didn't have time to react, and even threw out with people and horses.
Puff ......
The people behind hurriedly grabbed the reins, but four more horses tripped over,
Most of the war horses had broken their front legs and let out a miserable scream, and more than a dozen guards were also smashed, but they were all slightly injured.
"Don't stop," the Xuanwu Realm guard shouted loudly: "Don't stop the horse team, it's obvious that someone has set a trap here, as soon as we stop, we will be ambushed, the loser of the horse stays and drags the enemy, and the others continue to rush with me, as long as we rush out of this area, we will be safe,"
This method of dealing with it is correct, Hua Changwen poked his head out: "Execute the order, rush over as fast as possible,"
More than a dozen people formed a small defensive formation, they clenched their weapons, and paid close attention to the movements around them.
The large army passed quickly, and rushed into the distance in a puff of smoke, Xiao Chen withdrew the vine attribute martial soul and followed away, leaving behind more than a dozen unknown guys,
Half an hour later, he did the same, and the other party still did the same as before, leaving the wounded man of the war horse behind, and the others left quickly,
By the time it was almost dawn, the original team of dozens of people, except for Hua Changwen and four Xuanwu Realm guards, only three ordinary guards remained.
They experienced a total of four "ambushes", and no one said clearly whether the people in charge of the back of the temple were attacked after the departure of the large army.
The speed of the carriage was still very fast, and Hua Changwen realized that something was wrong, and said, "Who ambushed us, why did we get out of danger every time,"
One of the guards replied: "No matter who the other party is, our mission is to ensure your safety, it is estimated that those who have been left behind have been more than lucky, Lord Deputy Gatekeeper, who knows this time when I go to the south to carry out a mission, besides you and the Door Master,"
"Then only His Majesty the Emperor knows, and His Majesty and the hall master should not reveal my whereabouts," Hua Changwen said in a deep voice: "It is very likely that someone in the team did it, of course, I am very relieved of the four of you,"
The guard lowered his voice: "Since you suspect those guards, it is better to let the three of them stay, responsible for blocking the enemy, the four of us escort you to your destination, in order to speed up, I recommend that you ride a horse,"
"Okay," Hua Changwen agreed,
Then, without saying anything, one of the guards had snatched one of the guards' horses and ordered them to stay.
The three guards dare not speak out, who makes themselves low-level, if they really disobey, they can be solved in four minutes,
The five horses were gone, and three men waited for two quarters of an hour with their weapons in hand, but no enemy appeared.
"Dude, are there any enemies?" asked one another,
"There must be enemies, but I think they have already chased after the deputy hall master, and the other party has made such a big battle, of course, it won't be to deal with our little minions,"
Da Da Da ......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it became more and more dense,
"Dude, you didn't mean ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get ready to defend against the enemy,"
"Listen to the voice, there are at least two dozen people on the other side, we are all going to die,"
The three of them involuntarily began to tremble, and when they saw the "chasing soldiers" clearly, they were all dumbfounded.
What kind of enemy is it, obviously it is his own people,
Before they could speak, someone shouted first, "Why are you three also left behind, deputy hall master?"
"Escorted away by the four guards, how did you catch up, didn't the deputy hall master let you break off," one asked rhetorically,
The man replied, "Don't mention it, there is any enemy somewhere, we waited for a long time and did not even see a bird, no, we found a few horses nearby, and we caught up,"
"If there is no enemy, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, of course, is to catch up with the deputy hall master and continue to protect his safety,"
Obviously, the three of them are not satisfied with such a proposal, you must know that they are left as cannon fodder, but after thinking about it, if the deputy hall master encounters an accident on the road, all of them will not be able to get out of the relationship, and they will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Alright then, let's go chase after the deputy hall master,"
When they agreed, they pursued them to the south.
Hua Changwen and his entourage climbed a high ground, at this time the sky was just dawning, and the night was galloping, and the people could not stand the horses, so he ordered to rest in place for a few minutes.
"Not good, there are pursuers," shouted one of the guards, pointing to the rear and saying, "They are very fast, about thirty men,"
Hua Changwen looked around, because the sky was not yet bright, he could only vaguely see some small black dots in motion, but he was completely sure that it was a person on a horse.
"These souls are really chasing after them, what kind of people are they, so arrogant," he said angrily: "This deputy hall master is serving the emperor's holy decree, aren't they afraid of being punished by the nine clans if they do this?"
"My lord, it's useless to say this, let's hurry on our way and try to get rid of them before noon," suggested the guard.
"Okay, let's go,"
How do they know that those little black dots are their own people?
And they didn't know that Xiao Chen had already dug a pit in front of him, just waiting for the "prey" to jump in by himself.
