Chapter 340: Hunting in the Rain
After getting out of the carriage, Li Luobing found that a group of them were actually in a wood, and there were no people around, so Chu Ruoyan then followed her out of the carriage.
"There are very few people on the way to Chaoyang City, and for a long time we will spend the night in the carriage, and if we meet Orion in the mountains, we can spend the night."
Thinking of the difficulties along the way, Chu Ruoyan was a little worried about Li Luobing, but when he looked at Li Luobing, he didn't find the slightest complaint on her face.
"I just hope to reach Chaoyang City safely now, and nothing else is a problem." Li Luobing's words dispelled the doubts in Chu Ruoyao's heart.
"Yang Zhen, how's the situation?" Chu Ruoyang had been asking Yang Zhen to secretly inquire about Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang's movements, and now after seeing Yang Zhen come back, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"If you go back to Your Highness, those people don't seem to have come out again after they go back, and the subordinates have waited for a long time and haven't seen any movement, so they come back."
No movement? Chu Ruoyan secretly thought about all the possibilities, they might be waiting for a suitable opportunity, maybe they would stop there, but no matter which one they were, they couldn't easily relax their vigilance before they arrived in Chaoyang City.
"Then get out of here and keep an eye on your surroundings." After Chu Ruoyao finished speaking, everyone got up and continued to move forward.
Chu Zhuangyan only gave Chu Ruoyan six days, and they could have arrived in Chaoyang City in advance under normal circumstances, but because Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang blocked them, they were delayed for a lot of time on the road, even if they were demoted, they had to arrive in Chaoyang City on time for handover.
They and their group rushed at night, and they would continue to hurry after a little rest during the day, and they kept walking non-stop, and they didn't meet the guards sent by Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang for two days, and everyone's hearts gradually relaxed.
When they were still halfway to Chaoyang City, it was already dark, and Chu Ruoyao and Li Luobing had to stop the convoy and rest in place.
Originally, they wanted to travel overnight, but it rained heavily that night, making the road extremely difficult.
"Your Highness, we might as well wait for the rain to stop before leaving!" After Guo Dong finished reading the road ahead, he came back and said to Chu Ruoyao.
Because of the rain, the road ahead was very muddy, and the carriage would not be able to travel much even if it walked, so it was better to rest on the spot.
"Okay, then let's rest!" Chu Ruoyan nodded and agreed.
Their carriages were covered with waterproof cloths, and after everyone had covered some of the items on the carriage, they all crowded into the carriage to prevent themselves from being caught in the rain.
In the carriage where Chu Ruoyan and Gu Qiaoyan were, there was a pot of hot tea on the table, and Chu Ruoyan was picking up the teacup and handing it to Li Luobing.
"Let's drink some hot tea, I don't know when the rain will stop, it looks like we have to wait here for a long time, drink some hot tea to warm up."
Li Luobing took the cup of tea with a smile, and asked Chu Ruoyan while drinking: "Why hasn't there been any movement on Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang's side in the past few days, did you give up chasing us?" ”
Chu Ruoyang shook her head: "It's unlikely, Chu Ruoyang is not that kind of person, it is impossible for him to let his guards return in vain, we must not let our guard down." ”
Li Luobing nodded, and after drinking the tea in his hand, he opened the curtain and looked outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping at all.
"I don't know when we will be able to reach Chaoyang City, if the rain hasn't stopped until dawn, then we can only hurry forward." Chu Ruoyan said after calculating the time.
While the group was resting, two groups of figures quietly appeared around the woods. These two teams were sent by Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang, and they were afraid that Chu Ruoxia and the others would be too vigilant, so they had been enduring and looking for opportunities.
I thought that there would be no suitable opportunity today, but who would have thought that it would rain today, and the sound of the rain could cover the sound of their actions very well, and it would not be easy to be detected.
"Do you remember what the carriage looked like?" The leader asked the others.
"Remembered." The rest nodded in unison.
"After a while, you and I will surround the carriage, and kill everyone who comes out of it, whoever it is."
"The rest of the people must control the other accompanying guards, don't let them act rashly, the guards of the Yanwang Mansion are very strong in martial arts, and if you don't pay attention, you may be injured. Finally, don't forget His Royal Highness King Qin's words, you must confirm that the two of them are dead before leaving, understand? The man asked everyone after saying a lot of things.
"Understood."
"Okay, let's do it!" After saying this, the two teams disappeared into the rain curtain.
Inside the carriage, Chu Ruoqi and the others were drowsy, when they suddenly heard the sound of arrows stuck in the carriage, followed by the panicked shouts of the guards.
"There are assassins!" After hearing these three words, Chu Ruoyan immediately sobered up, he had never noticed the movement outside, it seemed that the bad weather had covered them.
"Protect Your Highness and the Princess!" I don't know who shouted outside, but as soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of a fight outside the carriage.
Chu Ruoyan wanted to go out and have a look, but Li Luobing was in the carriage, and he couldn't leave with peace of mind.
Li Luobing guessed Chu Ruoyi's thoughts: "You go, I'm fine." ”
Chu Ruoyao thought for a while, gave Li Luobing a short blade, asked her to protect herself, and then got out of the carriage.
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, a sword slashed at Chu Ruoyao, and he immediately took out the sword on his body and fought with the comer.
This black shadow didn't expect Chu Ruoyan to react so quickly, he wanted to rush in directly, and stab the two of them in the carriage before they found out, but his actions were discovered in advance.
In a hurry, he could only step forward and fight, but where was this black shadow Chu Ruoyao's opponent, the two fought for a few rounds, and Chu Ruoyao cut him to the ground with a sword.
Just as Chu Ruoyao was gasping, a black shadow on the other side ran directly to the front of the carriage, opened the carriage curtain with a sword, and then stabbed at Li Luobing in the carriage.
Li Luobing picked up the short blade that Chu Ruoyao gave him, and subconsciously raised his hand, barely blocking his assassination, but his tiger's mouth was also shaken and painful, and the short blade immediately fell to the side.
Seeing that the first attack was unsuccessful, the man did not speak, and directly began the second attack.
Seeing that Li Luobing was in danger, Chu Ruoyan couldn't care about his physical exertion, and rushed towards the carriage, reaching out to pick the black shadow's sword away.
But because he only cared about the situation on Li Luobing's side, he didn't notice the pursuer behind him, and when he found it again, it was too late, so he could only tilt his body to the left, and the sword stabbed Chu Ruoyi's right shoulder.
"Lord Wang!" Li Luobing exclaimed in surprise when he saw Chu Ruoyao injured.
After hearing the movement here, Yang Zhen, Guo Dong and others all gathered here.
The secret guards who surrounded them before, because they were ordered, attacked very fiercely, and tried every means to block their steps, several people were entangled by these black shadows, and they couldn't get out for a while, plus the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and gradually began to see what was happening over there clearly.
At this time, Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing were already in crisis, there were only two of them, but there were four people attacking them at the same time, and Chu Ruoyan was now injured in the right shoulder, and he kept bleeding out, so he had to change the sword to his left hand, which he was not used to.
At this time, Li Luobing had already picked up the short blade that had fallen to the ground and held it tightly in her hand, although she didn't have any martial arts, she definitely couldn't drag Chu Ruo's hind legs at this time.
"Are you trying to put us both to death?" Chu Ruoyao opened her mouth to talk to them, deliberately delaying time, hoping that Yang Zhen could get out quickly.
"You don't have to worry about that." After one of the black shadows finished speaking, he gave the other three a look, and the four of them surrounded Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing.
Chu Ruoyan didn't expect that they would not be fooled at all, and the plan to delay time failed like this, so he stepped back and got together with Li Luobing.
"For a while, you pay attention to the left, I pay attention to the right, the two of us are back to back, don't let them take advantage of it." Chu Ruoyao instructed Li Luobing in as short a language as possible, he was worried that Li Luobing would not understand what he said.
"Okay, I got it." Li Luobing nodded firmly, and his eyes fell on Chu Ruoyao's injured shoulder.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation now, she would have dragged Chu Ruoya to give him medicine, instead of letting the wound be exposed like this.
Chu Ruoyao's left hand tightened, his right hand was injured, he couldn't hold the sword at all, and he was still very unaccustomed to suddenly switching to his left hand.
"Say enough is enough, take your life!" When the four dark shadows around them saw the two of them, they all rushed towards them.
The longer they delay here, the more likely it is that the mission will fail, and they don't want to face the anger of Chu Ruoyang and Li Luoxia again after they go back.
Originally, there were two people to deal with Chu Ruoyao, and the remaining two went to deal with Li Luobing, but these two people found that even if Chu Ruoyao held a sword with his left hand, he could fight a tie with the two of them.
In desperation, they had to call someone from Li Luobing's side over, and the three of them began to besiege Chu Ruoyan in unison, hoping to quickly eliminate him. As long as he solves it, it will be a matter of time before Princess Yan is solved.
Suddenly changed from two people to three people, Chu Ruoyan suddenly felt extremely difficult, and there began to be some more scars on his body, and when the three of them saw Chu Ruoyan like this, the speed of their attacks immediately accelerated a lot.
