A few days later, Li Wen's guards stopped in front of a mountain road.

I saw that on both sides of the mountain road are dense wild pine forests, and its mountain walls are steep, and this section of the road is between the two mountains.

"Captain, shall we go over?" One of the guards asked the chief of the guard.

The man in his thirties sat on the back of a horse, his eyes looked around, and he didn't find anything unusual.

"We are the guards of the Qi Palace, and we are not the rich caravan with a lot of oil and water, or even the mountain bandits dare not mess around." The chief guard waved his hand, "Come on!" Be careful. ”

There is no mountain bandit who is not trying to make money, and his team is obviously not easy to mess with, even if there are really bandits here, they will not come over and die without a long eye.

More than thirty guards escorted the three carriages in the middle of the procession and slowly drove into the mountain road.

The wheels of the carriage gurgled and turned, accompanied by the sound of the horses' hooves, which was so loud in the mountain path that it seemed that even the sounds of birds around it were muffled.

"Strange." One of the guards muttered in a low voice, "Why is it so gloomy here, strange and cautious......"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistling rang out from the forest, which was particularly piercing in the silent field.

In an instant, countless iron arrows swished out from the woods on both sides of the mountain road, knocking down several people in an instant.

The horses that had been hit by the arrows began to scream and fled with their hooves scattered.

"There are assassins!" The guard shouted, and hurriedly swung his sword to shoot the flying crossbow arrows.

The chief of the guard felt a pang in his heart, and sure enough, there was an ambush on the way back.

The county lord of Jianing is right, there are really people who want to set up an ambush on the road to assassinate the prince.

"Let's get out of the mountains! Don't be in love! The guard shouted.

The rest of the guards immediately turned their horses around and drove their horses back.

They were in the open, the enemy was in the dark, and it was obviously not wise to fight the Assassins.

Unbeknownst to him, several ropes suddenly popped up on the road, instantly tripping over the horses of several guards to the ground.

Before a few guards could get up from the ground, they saw several black-clad masked men flying out of the woods, brandishing snow-bright steel knives and slashing at them.

Screams and wails resounded through the mountain road.

The chief of the guard forced himself to calm down and commanded the remaining dozen or so people to desperately resist the attack of the men in black.

For a moment, the sword and sword shadows, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

However, these people are just ordinary guards, where have they fought those black-clothed killers with high martial arts and well-trained martial arts.

Within two moments, all the guards and servants fell to the ground, blood stained the long mountain road, and even a few weak maids in the carriage were not spared, and they were all killed by the men in black.

The bloodied chief guard was trampled on the ground by two men in black, and the sharp blade rested on the vein of his neck.

"Say! What about your master? The man in black couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't find the person he was looking for.

One of the guard's arms was cut off, and his face was stained with blood, and he still laughed, "My master has already left first, and you are waiting for the dog thief to fall for it, hahaha......"

The man in black narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce look, and raised his hand to cut the throat of the chief guard.

"Inform the Lord that this mission has failed, and the sheep golden cicada has come out of its shell!"

The man in black ordered his subordinates in frustration, "Contact the ideas of several intersections, find suspected people, and kill them!" ”

After a while, several blue-gray pigeons flew out of the woods and burst into the sky.

The corpses and carriages and horses on the mountain road were all cleaned up, and the blood stains on the ground were also covered with loess, and there were no traces of the previous blood.

……

In the mountains and forests, Qingluan and Han Zai Li Wen had already abandoned their horses, and the three of them walked quickly through the mountains and forests.

"After the first few mountains, we arrived in Langzhou, let's detour from Langzhou to alluvial island, and then enter Qizhou from there."

There is a mask to cover, so that people can't see Uncle Han Zai's expression clearly, and even his voice doesn't carry any emotion, "Although the route is long and rugged, it is the safest at present." ”

Qingluan turned his head to look at Uncle Han Zai, and he was very reverent in his heart.

He knew so much as if he had walked in these places.

"Uncle Han Zai, thanks to you, otherwise, we would have lost our way in this forest." Qingluan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said flatteringly.

Han snorted softly in his nose and did not speak again.

Li Wen said very little along the way, and looked thoughtful.

On that day, he still believed her words, and discussed with the captain of the guard, and still let them go on the original route, while he entered the forest with Jianing.

I don't know where his escort has gone now, and whether they have encountered robbers.

I hope they're all right, they're not on their own, and if the guards can't beat the robbers, they should be fine to escape.

The mountains are rugged and difficult to walk, often hung by thorn branches, and Qingluan's clothes have been hooked in several places, plus he has not changed for a few days, and he is dusty and looks very embarrassed.

Li Wen was no better, his robe was torn in several places, and even his hair bun was scattered a little.

In the first few days, although walking during the day was tiring and bearable, it was very difficult to sleep in the wilderness at night.

It's autumn now, although there are fewer mosquitoes in the field, but the temperature at night is very low, when they rest, Han Zaishu doesn't allow them to light a fire to keep warm, Qingluan has to wrap a blanket, cold and afraid, often hard to hold on and dare not sleep.

Li Wen and Uncle Han Zai shared a blanket, which seemed to be better.

"Aman, the clothes are for you." Li Wen couldn't see Jianing's frozen appearance, took off his outer robe, and wanted to put it on Qingluan.

"No, it's cold at night, how can you not have a coat." Qingluan refused, hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's huddle together and get warmer." ”

She didn't mind snuggling up with Uncle Han Zai and the others at all, after all, she was raised by him since she was a child, if it weren't for the status of master and servant, in fact, she was no different from her own children, Uncle Han Zai had also enlightened her in martial arts, which was half a master.

Li Wen glanced at Uncle Han Zai and nodded in agreement.

So, the three of them leaned back to back in a hollow of a mound, each ate some dry food, drank a few sips of water, and closed their eyes to rest.

At night in the forest, there was a howling of a grass wolf, whimpering, drifting in the distance for a while, and gradually fading away.

The ground often hears the sound of rustling, and there will be strange sounds on the treetops from time to time, which are no match for the pain in Qingluan's feet at this time.

This day's walking made her toes have two big blisters, even if Li Wen used thorns to pick them for her, put on some herbs, and bandaged her toes, but after resting, the toes and feet still beat painfully, which seemed to be worse than when walking.

"Does your foot still hurt?" Li Wen asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't hurt much...... Qingluan just replied, only to hear Han Zaishu say coldly: "Don't talk, take a good rest." ”

Qingluan hurriedly closed his mouth.

Li Wen didn't squeak anymore, but just moved the blanket on his body to Jianing's leg.

Han Zai closed his eyes and listened carefully to the movements around him, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

I didn't expect this delicate county lord to be able to endure this kind of hardship of climbing mountains and wading through waters, no matter how fast he walked, she could always keep up quietly, sometimes, even that Li Shizi was so tired that she couldn't hold on, she was actually more patient than him.

Maybe it's because she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her physique is stronger and more endurance than ordinary people.
