Chapter 107: Ambush
It is rare for the prince to leave the palace once, and he does not have the trouble of hugging back and forth, which seems to him to be an incredible hiking trip. This is the halfway point of a mountain, the road ahead is wide enough for horse-drawn carriages, and on both sides are dense forests, and as far as the eye can see, one mountain after another, the scenery is pleasant. It's a pity that it's winter, and there is some cold, otherwise, it's really pleasant.
"You get into the carriage." Kang Yuche pushed the prince to the carriage, and there was a person sitting inside, the most seriously injured person, his eyes half-closed, as if he was recuperating.
Kang Yuche said to the people in the car: "Chaoyuan, you look at him." Where did Yu Yi go? ”
A man answered the call from behind the carriage.
Kang Yuche grabbed Yu Yi's shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yi, watch the prince, don't let him make any mistakes." ”
"yes, okay." Yu Yi agreed.
Yu Yi then got into the car, and the carriage door closed.
The prince lifted the curtain and glanced out, and was immediately stopped by Yu Yi.
"That, Miss Su, don't you get in the car?" Seeing that the two of them looked serious, the prince was quite uncomfortable, so he asked after finding a conversation.
Yu Yi shook his head, his eyes still staring at the prince so fiercely.
Kang Yufei was raised in the barracks since she was a child, and for her, the carriage was an annoying thing that imprisoned her body, and she preferred the feeling of riding a horse and galloping.
"Okay, let's go, try to get to the next stop before dark." Kang Yuche waved his hand, Du Ruo gently raised his whip, took the lead and walked forward, and opened the distance between the two carriages before the second person followed, followed by the carriage and the large army, and the rear of the palace was Kang Yuche, who was also the distance from the two carriages with the team.
This way of marching is the safest for them, if the leader encounters a situation, they can inform in advance, and the latter can turn around or prepare to face the battle. Whether you fight or retreat, there is a suitable opportunity.
Kang Yuche looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, it was a good weather. He was neither flustered nor nervous, and the tacit understanding between them for many years was enough to cope with this catastrophe.
Du Ruo pulled the reins to let the horse walk more slowly, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the forest. He had followed those people for a few hours, and knew that they were not ordinary grass bandits, and they would not act recklessly, and if they were ambushed, they would definitely choose a place with high slopes and many trees to hide people. Moreover, an ambush usually leaves the leader out of the encirclement first, so he must find their position when they shoot the first arrow.
The rustling of the leaves sounded like nothing but the raging wind. Suddenly, a slight sound of broken branches came into Du Ruo's ears, he looked up and looked around, this road is a sandwich road, the trees on both sides are thick and large and towering into the sky, it is indeed suitable for ambush, he raised his hand and grabbed his left shoulder. This is a code signal to signal the people behind to be alert.
After a mile of travel, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the right side of the carriage, followed by several arrows from the left......
Kang Yufei had already prepared, the knife on the horse's back was already half out of the sheath, she shook her hand, shook off the scabbard, and raised her hand to block the arrows flying from the left side.
The arrows flew over with a crackle and rushed straight towards the carriage, the prince heard the sound of the arrows smashing into the carriage shed, crackling, but did not see any arrows penetrating in, he just wanted to open the curtain to see the situation, but was stopped by Yu Yi.
Xiao Chaoyuan pulled out the dagger, but instead of facing the prince, he spread his hands and protected the prince behind him. Yu Yi got in front of them and pressed against the car door.
Out of the woods rushed a group of masked killers, with a clear goal, that is, to run towards the carriage.
Kang Yufei and the others had already dismounted and slowly gathered around. A killer jumped up, the blade slashed straight at Kang Yufei, she was grabbed by the wrist, restrained, there was no chance to face the knife, she could only use her strength to the right, trying to avoid the knife.
The knife slashed down, but it was a little missful, Kang Yufei turned his head to see that the killer was hit by an arrow in the neck, and the whole person slowly fell forward.
This should be the masterpiece of Kang Yuche, who did not join the melee, she didn't bother to check Kang Yuche's location, and she had to cheer up to deal with the rest of the people.
The carriage door was opened, and a sword stabbed in, Yu Yi had already taken precautions, unwrapped the chain buckle on his wrist, turned and pulled his left hand, and the thin special chain buckled the long sword, and pulled the sword into the carriage. Xiao Chaoyuan took a step, and the dagger stabbed straight into the killer's chest, killing him on the spot.
These actions were done in one go, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them killed a killer, which made the prince who saw it breathtaking.
Before the carriage door could close, one of the two killers pulled the door, and the other held a knife and fought with Yu Yi's iron chain. Yu Yi was in the carriage, it was really difficult to use his fists and feet, seeing that the iron chain was wrapped around the killer's neck, he had a chance to strangle people to death, but a cold arrow suddenly flew towards the carriage, he let go of the iron chain, pulled the carriage door back with his right hand, and blocked the arrow.
The killer had a chance to breathe, made a comeback, and kicked Yu Yi. Yu Yi stepped back, and this kick hit the carriage door hard. The killers outside sensed that the carriage was an obstacle to their actions and began to frantically slash at the carriage door.
Du Ruo saw that the killer in front of him was gradually attracted to the sides of the carriage, this was a good opportunity, he shook off the killer who was pestering him, jumped into the carriage, slapped the knife on the horse's back, and the horse spread its hooves and ran out.
Pulling the carriage apart will allow the killers to disperse their manpower, and as long as the prince can escape, everyone will be safe.
As soon as the carriage moved, Xiao Chaoyuan took advantage of the killer's hectic situation, threw out a dagger, and stabbed one of the killers in the face, and he fell out of the carriage. The carriage flickered, and another killer hurriedly grabbed the door, Yu Yi kicked the carriage door, the door was already in tatters, and the whole door fell, and the killer went down by the way.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and the carriage carried him farther and farther, and now he could see the whole scene clearly. There were several corpses lying on the ground, all masked killers, and the brother and sister led the people to stand in a straight line, blocking the killers who tried to catch up.
Yu Yi leaned to the side, panting heavily, he looked at Xiao Chaoyuan, Xiao Chaoyuan nodded at him to show that he was in good condition. He turned to look at the prince again, the prince suddenly widened his eyes, his face was full of horror, Yu Yi didn't care about asking anything, he propped himself up, blocked in front of the prince, an arrow flew through his right chest, and the tingling sensation was transmitted into his head with Xiao Chaoyuan's shout, so that he knew very clearly that he had been hit by an arrow.
