Chapter 18: Ambush in the Jungle

Wang Ziyu didn't think about it, and immediately ran over, but unfortunately the figure had disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. At this moment, Wang Ziyu did not dare to pursue. There is a saying in the book of war, which is called poor Kou Mo chase. And in the hexagram book, the Tun hexagram 63 said: "That is, the deer is safe, only in the forest, the gentleman is not as good as giving up, and he will be stingy." "King Wen is a soldier and a fighter, and he still has to listen to his words.

Wang Ziyu took the man in black back to Xiaohe's hiding place. As soon as the two of them arrived at the time of counting, the Third Highness returned. One of the men in black was slightly injured. It seems that the other side is not very easy to do.

"Third Highness, the people and horses here are not very similar to horse bandits, they are very much like some well-trained people, and they are also skilled." Wang Ziyu deliberately reminded His Royal Highness.

"It's not that it's not like it, it's that it's not a horse bandit at all. It should be the prince's person. Even if it wasn't arranged by the prince himself, the goal was to keep us here. "His Royal Highness has experienced this battle, and he has already been impressed by Wang Ziyu. If it weren't for Wang Ziyu not following him straight through the valley, I'm afraid that it would not be those people on the mountain who would be buried here, but them. Because of this, His Royal Highness has more trust in Prince Yu in his heart.

"Third Highness, is the struggle for the heir so fierce now?" Wang Ziyu asked deliberately. Judging from the actions of assassinating His Majesty the Emperor, this is beyond the scope of seizing the heir. The emperor also needs to be the referee. Now it's not the referee who sends the player off the pitch, it's the player who has to change the referee.

"It's beyond the level of taking the heir. Unless the Father Emperor has now taken control of Daluo City, we will face a bloody storm when we go back. The Third Highness looked at the valley and said indifferently.

"Then if we go back now, won't we be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Wang Ziyu pretended to be nervous, wanting to see what the three highnesses were planning. To be a person in the forbidden army, Wang Ziyu is a little eager, after all, he can take the opportunity to control the important army, and then control the initiative in the capital. But the premise is that everything is still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor Sima Hong. If Sima Hong is also imprisoned at this moment, then for them, going to the capital again is looking for death. Now on this road, there are already dangers.

"You're overthinking. As long as the battle outside is very large, it means that the prince does not control the situation in the capital. If the dust settles in the capital and deal with us, just give an order. If the decree is not respectful, then the army can be exterminated later, and everything can be made public. His Royal Highness said calmly.

"Extermination? Isn't he afraid of the world's ridicule? Wang Ziyu seemed to be a clueless sentence.

Shameful laughter. Winners and losers, people singing praises will crowd the streets, and on this occasion, you will not see a person who weeps or complains about you. Because, those people will die. The Third Highness was very calm when he said this, but it shocked Prince Yu's heart. Lying in a groove, do I want to participate in such a bloody and impersonal struggle? But if you don't participate, if you are thrown into this world by Bodhi, will it be possible to marry an ordinary person and give birth to a bunch of dolls? Damn, am I a breeding pig? That's too sad, and this body, which rich kid, which prince and nobleman will not want to get it? How could he be a breeding pig in peace? Thinking about it this way, just because of its good looks, it is impossible to be an ordinary breeding pig.

His grandmother's, spelled. It is a lifetime to be a depressed breeding pig, to experience bloody rain and bloody winds, and to achieve a lily empire that belongs to Wang Ziyu, which is also a lifetime. Since fate cannot be changed, let the storm come more violently.

"In that case, let's take a quick look at the wind and rain in the capital." Wang Ziyu said, hugged Xiaohe and turned over on the horse, whipped down, and rushed into the valley first.

"It's a quick horse and a whip, and that's what you want." His Royal Highness also got on his horse and chased after Prince Yu. The other three followed.

A group of five fast horses quickly crossed the valley, and the canyon, which was more than a mile long, passed quickly. After this canyon, there is a relatively low hilly area in front of it, and then another mountainous forest area. As they crossed the valley, there was a man standing on the top of the mountain, a green shirt, looking at their sturdy figures, and his eyes exuded a cold killing intent.

Wang Ziyu had a gut feeling as if someone was watching them as if they were walking through the valley. But at the moment, he can't manage so much. The strong crossbowmen who wiped out a squad just now, even if someone makes a move, one or two, he still has time to deal with it. Therefore, when he threw a few whips and sent the horse galloping, he focused on the surrounding heights, so that he could be the first to detect what was coming.

But the man in the green shirt just looked at them coldly and never made a move. He wasn't sure that he could kill either Wang Ziyu or any of the Three Highnesses with a single blow. It would be very boring to just let them get hurt a little. That would give them up the motivation to go to the trap ahead.

"Brother Bige, it's up to you next." The man in the green shirt said silently in his heart.

When Prince Yu rode his horse to the mountain forest area in front, he grabbed the reins, turned his head and asked the Third Highness who had caught up: "Third Highness, is there any other road here besides this road?" ”

"What do you mean? Is there an ambush ahead? The Third Highness reined in his horse, but he was stunned. Even if the prince wants them all to die here, but one ambush is not enough, and another ambush is needed? This is a bit too, isn't it, how can you take them so seriously? Don't the princes think that the ambush just now can be successful?

"There are still people in the valley we left just now. He watched us leave. He didn't make a move, I guess he didn't think it was safe to make a rash move, after all, we had already destroyed the main crossbowmen in ambush. If we don't startle the snake, he lets us move on, which is the best option. Wang Ziyu reasoned.

"You mean, the guy wants to flank us?" His Royal Highness gasped. If that's the case, it's really too passive. There are only a few of them, and if they are attacked on their backs, they will be more than lucky. What's more, the person who was able not to be taken down by them with a blow just now, that person must be quite a good guy in terms of IQ and kung fu.

"The odds are very high." Wang Ziyu nodded.

"Isn't it, Wang Gongzi, there's no need to be like this, right?" A man in black felt that Wang Ziyu was making a big fuss. It was clear that the force had been extinguished just now, so it was still a little injured, how could there be other ambushes? The average person would not make such an arrangement at all. But the man in black who was acting with Wang Ziyu nodded.

"I think what Wang Gongzi said is reasonable."

"In that case, Third Highness, you are here for a while, and I will take someone to sneak into the mountains and forests to the front to find out the truth." Wang Ziyu took the initiative to say.

"Okay, go and get back." His Royal Highness agreed. He didn't dare to risk his life either. After all, Wang Ziyu's intuition just now had been fulfilled. If you want to seize the crown prince, or even become an emperor, you must be cautious everywhere, and only those who live the longest can have the last laugh. Otherwise, even if you ascend to the throne, you may be killed one day. Just like King Qin Wu, he pretended to be forced everywhere, and finally raised the Zhou Dynasty Dading, and he was killed, which was really ridiculous and generous.

Wang Ziyu took the man in black who had fought with him just now, quickly escaped into the mountains and forests, and groped forward. The people of the three highnesses hid in the mountains and forests on one side and rested in place.

said that it was groping, and with Wang Ziyu's light skills, it was like a milk swallow passing through the forest, and he soon reached the top of the mountain in front. As he approached the top of the mountain, he realized that something was wrong. From the foot of the mountain, you will often encounter birds and hear birds chirping along the way. But the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the fewer this bird will be, and when you reach the top of the mountain, the bird will become extinct. This is very counterintuitive. If it's a Himalaya, it's normal that there are no birds on the top of the mountain. After all, to go up is to die. But this mountain, with modern common sense, is more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and the reason why it is called a mountain is because the forest is too dense. Such mountains and forests, in this dynasty, there should be a lot of wild beasts and birds.

But here there are signs of a thousand mountain birds flying away. This shows a problem, the killing machine in this vicinity is too heavy for these birds to dare to break in suddenly. Thinking of the places where the ringing horses or the heroes of the green forest appear in various historical romances, as well as the plots that appear in some war films, Wang Ziyu quickly came to the conclusion: There must be an ambush or other major natural crises in this area. But from the mountains and forests, this crisis does not seem to come from nature. Because the mountain forest is on the top of the mountain, it is also very dense and vigorous, and the leaves are all tender and green, exuding vitality.

Then there is only one explanation: there is an ambush nearby. So, Wang Ziyu cautiously approached the direction of the road, a distance of dozens of meters from the road, and suddenly found that there were people faintly in the trees in front of him. Wang Ziyu and the man in black hurriedly hid behind the big tree and observed carefully. Sure enough, there were archers in the trees in front of them, and on the ground there were people dressed in grass-green clothes, no, they were people wearing straw disguises, and there were a lot of them, and each of them had a weapon in his hand. Wang Ziyu made a rough estimate, and there were hundreds of people.

Lying in a groove, this is not a horse bandit, right? Probably not. It seems to be another hunt. Wang Ziyu determined the hiding position of these people, and immediately tiptoed backwards and retreated. Stay far enough away to stop behind a large rock and think about how to get through this damn vital area.

If it was only a dozen people, he would still be sure to kill them. But hundreds of people, plus the possible existence of masters, made him have to be more cautious. If they don't take the road and pass through the woods, as soon as the horses neigh, it's troublesome. Draw the enemy in the dense forest, but it is extremely bad for them. If you want to run away on horseback, you can't show your advantage.

"Wang Gongzi, if it is really as you expected, there are too many ambushes here, and if we break in, we may have to leave our lives here." The man in black said with admiration on his face.

"The most feared situation has happened, which shows that the enemy wants us to die. We don't die. Just let them stay here. I'll see if there are any other paths. With that, Wang Ziyu got up and flew up to a tall tree on the top of the mountain, and looked into the distance, and the road they had just entered the mountain forest was in full view. The mountain stretched for more than a dozen miles to the east, and then the terrain slowed down, followed by a meadow. Bypassing the meadow over there, looking north, a ring line down, almost thirty miles away, you can go around back to this road. There seems to be a road to the east as well.

"The road we just walked on led to Shuofang City, and then to Daluo City?" Wang Ziyu asked.

"Exactly." The man in black replied.

"What about the road to the east? It's the road on the other side of the mountain. Wang Ziyu pointed, the man went to the top of the tree from below, looked at it, and the shadow was full, and then thought about it, and whispered to Wang Ziyu: "That road leads to Xiaguan." From that place to Shimonoseki, about thirty miles. Xiaguan is about forty miles away from Shuofang, and about fifty miles away from Daluo City. ”

"Whose sphere of influence is Shimonoseki?" Wang Ziyu asked.

"I know how to go. That's where the Five Highnesses are guarding. The relationship between the Fifth Highness and the Third Highness has always been good, although the Fifth Highness is neutral in seizing the heir, but has never supported the crown prince's ascension. The man in black's eyes lit up.

"You mean that the Fifth Highness Sima Qiu is guarding the next pass?"

"Exactly. His Royal Highness was the only prince who personally guarded the outer city. ”

"Why is he guarding the outer city?" When Wang Ziyu heard it, there might be a story in it, and maybe it would be an important chess piece in the future. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Peerless Demon Concubine Meow Your Majesty's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
