Chapter 33: Missing
I curled up and leaned in the carriage, waited for most of the night without news, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Princess."
It's Han's voice.
I slept in a daze, lifted the curtain, saw the silver mask, and asked, "Did you find the grass?" โ
"Found it, but she's badly injured."
"Hurt?" I came to my senses, "Where is she at the moment?" โ
The masked man said: "She was bitten by a poisonous snake after she got lost, and she was taken in by a woodcutter. But the injury is serious, and I want to see the princess for the last time......"
I didn't think too much about it, so I called the accompanying doctor, pulled another team of guards, and went in the direction he pointed me out.
โฆโฆ
Wait for the princess and the group to leave the camp.
A whistle suddenly alerted the guards.
The night is dark and the wind is high, the best time for the enemy to attack!
"There are assassins! Hmmm......"
"Poof" the sound of the bow and arrow entering the flesh, the soldier who discovered the enemy's situation was killed at the first time.
Those who have dangers in the army, wells, reeds, mountains and forests, and stinging will be carefully recalled, and the place where this ambush is also located!
The camp is on the river, and on the other side of the river is the mountain forest.
It only took a stick of incense for the rebels to cross the river, and nearly 100 people had surrounded the camp at night.
Han searched for Xiaocao in vain, and when he returned from riding his horse, he heard strange movements in the distance. He inexplicably remembered the art of war in the "Marching Chapter" that he talked about in the afternoon, and his heart was not good. He dismounted, and hurried back to the wagon of the camp, but the carriage was empty.
He thought for a moment, took advantage of the chaos to flee the camp, and rode his horse again.
Near the camp.
The rebels numbered only a few hundred men with bows and crossbows in their hands. And the soldiers here are more complete in terms of numbers and equipment. Even if someone sneaks up, it will not be left behind at all.
Torches lit up the night, illuminating the camp and killing even a few of the Assassins who had wandered into the ranks.
Since someone is putting cold arrows in the distance, it means that there are still many enemies lurking in the forest.
Even if there were assassins, the empress was undiminished, pulling the empress dowager and standing in the bright spot, shouting: "The one who came is a traitor under the banner of the remnants of the Southern Dynasty?!" โ
The rebels retreated into the darkness and did not make a sound.
The empress continued to shout: "The Luan Dynasty is stable and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why do you still want to rebel?!" โ
She was over forty years old, of course, not simply thinking that she could tell them to return to the right path and surrender on the spot, but that as long as she asked, the soldiers would find out where they were.
"We are poor, we want money!" A voice shouted from the tree.
"Poofโ"
The man who spoke was shot down with a bow and arrow, and lay on the ground wailing.
He had lost his mobility, and instead of searching the forest, the soldiers stared at the place, and began to fire arrows at the slightest hint of movement, trying to kill his comrades.
Unfortunately, no one was fooled again this time.
Suddenly, someone in the forest shouted, "The little princess is in our hands!" Luan Yu, if you have the ability, you can release the arrow! โ
The empress was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head to look at the female officer.
The high-ranking female official Zhixin quickly searched in the carriage, but did not find any trace of the princess, so she returned truthfully.
There are no princesses, no musicians, no maidservants, and no concubines.
Later, the soldiers reported that the musician had led the princess away to find the maidservant.
The empress clenched her fists and left the team without permission. She calmly shouted on the surface: "My imperial daughter is by my side, if you kidnap my little daughter and want to fight me, then you are wrong!" If you want to get money, I only need to live, and I can't have the slightest disability! โ
