Qin Xuechu was walking forward slowly and unhurriedly, Zhou Zirui received a letter from the leader of the escort team, and learned that the convoy of the Dawu prince had changed lanes, he asked someone to take out the map near the official road from the horse, looked at it carefully, and thought about the location of the Dawu prince.

Qin Xuechu looked at the map, pointed to the direction of a painted tree and asked, "Why is the environment here so strange?" Could it be the legendary Strange Stone Forest? ”

Zhou Zirui glanced at the place where Qin Xuechu's slender jade fingers were pointing, and just as he wanted to explain, an emperor flashed in his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately looked up at Qin Xuechu's eyes, and said a little anxiously, "It's broken!" ”

"What's wrong? What is this forest? Qin Xuechu still looked at Zhou Zirui very puzzled, she didn't understand why Zhou Zirui was so nervous about this place.

"This place is called the Bandit Head Mountain, there is an extremely difficult and dangerous cliff here, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a group of ferocious bandits active on this cliff, extremely rampant, the imperial court has sent soldiers several times to encircle and suppress these villains, but after all, they can't hit this cliff, which makes these bandits even more rampant."

Zhou Zirui frowned, and said to Qin Xuechu with an extremely solemn face.

"Could it be that the Great Martial Prince will pass by this place if he changes his route?" When Qin Xuechu heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he walked towards the dense path on the map.

"According to the news from the messenger just now, there should be a high probability that they will pass through here, and if this is the case, I am afraid that if there is only that small team, it will not be able to cope with it at all." Zhou Zirui shook his head, very sure of this.

Qin Xuechu's clear eyes flashed slightly, she pointed to the mountain on the official road on the map, and said to Zhou Zirui, "I know this mountain, there is a small temple on this mountain, my master and I have taken refuge here, the location of this small temple is extremely hidden, it is set up by people in the rivers and lakes, this mountain stone structure is excellent, how can it be because of those light rains and build a mud wall to block the official road?" ”

Zhou Zirui glanced at Qin Xuechu in surprise and exclaimed, "So, all of this is deliberately designed!" Someone deliberately created the illusion of a mud wall, so that the convoy of the Dawu prince was forced to change the route, so that they could stop at the bandit head mountain and use the hands of bandits to get rid of the Dawu prince, so that some people could not be blamed. ”

"What a ploy." Qin Xuechu looked at the crooked path on the map, and couldn't help but praise, this trick of killing people with a knife can be said to be perfect.

"I really didn't expect that the retainers around the second prince would have such a mind, speaking of which, it was he who came up with that vicious plan last time to lure you to the second prince's palace." Zhou Zirui's Dan Qin's eyes flashed with anger, he couldn't tolerate the existence of someone with such a vicious mind.

"Now I find out, maybe it's not too late, maybe they haven't reached the bandit head mountain yet, as long as they wait in place and let our large army go over to greet them, maybe they can avoid meeting those fierce mountain bandits." Qin Xuechu lowered her eyes, and when she thought of Qiao An'an's appearance when she died that day, she couldn't wait to peel off a layer of skin from the second prince and the people around him.

Zhou Zirui could see that Qin Xuechu was holding back the anger in his heart, he immediately grabbed Qin Xuechu's hand lightly, and said softly, "Let's go and expose this conspiracy, hurry up and catch up with the team of the Great Martial Prince, and don't let those people with bad intentions succeed." ”

Qin Xuechu nodded heavily, her clear eyes were full of determination, since the second prince didn't want her Qin Xuechu to live well, then she Qin Xuechu would definitely not let the second prince have a good time.

Zhou Zirui immediately opened the curtain, called a captain in front of him, and told him about the matter in detail, and the captain immediately understood the situation and hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to speed up.

Due to the reminder of the "bandits" before the prince of Dawu, these soldiers were also highly vigilant, they looked at some branches and leaves, all of which were covered with those tributes, and let all the soldiers carry some branches to camouflage, so as not to let the thieves find out.

The prince of Dawu was surprisingly quiet at this time, and did not say a word about these actions of these soldiers, he just sat quietly in the car, and did not even move the curtain of the window, if it were not for the marks on the wheels of the carriage were no different from usual, the soldiers thought that the prince of Dawu was no longer in the car.

"Where are the thieves on this mountain, why did His Highness Dawu stay silent after coming out of the ghost wall?" One of the soldiers whispered to the commander, "Are you too tired to fall asleep?" ”

The leader also glanced back at the carriage a little strangely, this Dawu prince has always talked a lot, and always likes to respond to people with words like "people from the Qin Dynasty", why is he surprisingly quiet today and doesn't say a word?

The leader glanced at the soldiers in front of him, then immediately turned his horse's head slightly, walked to the guard, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's the matter?" Is it ill? ”

The guard also shook his head in confusion and said softly, "I don't know what's wrong with Your Highness, it seems to be surprisingly quiet today." ”

"Do you need to check it, I'm afraid I'm ......" The leader gestured slightly towards the carriage, he moved his brow slightly, and conveyed the worry in his heart to the guards with an expression.

The guard nodded, and immediately shouted cautiously into the carriage, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you resting?" ”

The carriage was silent, and there was no sound.

"Your Highness? Your Highness? The guard glanced at the commander, his face a little more nervous, and whispered to the carriage.

However, there was still no sound in the carriage.

The commander also immediately frowned, and immediately said to the guard, "Hurry up and open the curtain to take a look, maybe His Highness is no longer inside." ”

The guard hesitated, and said to the carriage, "Your Highness, I am offended. ”

With that, the guard immediately opened the curtain and looked nervously into it, and the leader also looked inside with curiosity, but just one glance completely calmed the commander.

There was no noble prince of Dawu in that carriage, only a huge stone, which was sitting safely on the comfortable soft cushion.

"Parking! Stop the car! The commander immediately shouted to the soldiers in front of him, and the guard standing in front of the carriage was completely dumbfounded, staring at the stone with wide eyes in disbelief.

The soldiers also frowned and looked at the guard in confusion, and they all gathered around, "What's the matter, Commander?" What's wrong? ”

"The prince of Dawu is gone, and I don't know when, he was dropped with a stone." The commander explained to the soldiers, his mind also very confused.

"How can this be, how can it be possible to replace His Highness under our noses?" The commander on the side was desperately muttering these words like crazy, he had been guarding the palanquin of the prince of Dawu, obviously nothing unusual had happened, how could the prince disappear under his nose.

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves, hurry up and see if there is anything suspicious around the carriage, maybe it can help us sort it out." The commander is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, anything can happen on the battlefield, and these little tricks of dropping bags, as long as you observe carefully, you will definitely be able to find flaws.
