Chapter 343: Returning in vain

After she walked in, she found that Chu Ruoyang was no longer in the inn. Li Luoxia hurriedly called the shopkeeper over and asked Chu Ruoyang where he was, and learned from the shopkeeper that Chu Ruoyang had already left the day after he left.

Li Luoxia kept speculating about Chu Ruoyang's whereabouts, and the shopkeeper on the side was worried.

These two people haven't been out much since they came to this inn, and occasionally Xiao Er passes by their room, and they can always be heard talking about something in a whisper, accompanied by angry roars from time to time.

I thought that after the two of them left one after another, their inn would be more sober, but I didn't expect that there would be another one now, which made the shopkeeper feel bitter and couldn't speak.

Li Luoxia's eyes caught the expression on the shopkeeper's face: "What, aren't you welcome me here?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "Welcome, of course welcome." "Where does he dare to say half a word?

"Alright, go down! Don't come here without me. After Li Luoxia finished speaking, she threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, pushed the door and entered the room.

After she entered the room, the accompanying guards also appeared in front of her: "County Lord, what should we do next?" ”

Li Luoxia thought about it, and took out the roadmap that Chu Ruoyang gave him before. In fact, she didn't know anything about this, she just thought that if she could kill Li Luobing, she was willing to use any means.

But now it seems that it is impossible without some strategies.

She carefully studied the route and calculated that the time for Chu Ruoyi and the others to arrive in Chaoyang City should only be about one day left. There is also a forest not far from Chaoyang City, which is the only way for them, and the dark guards can ambush there in advance.

"A group of you are lying in ambush here, waiting for their convoy to pass by, rush up and kill Princess Yan, and I will go with you." Li Luoxia pointed to the forest and instructed the dark guard.

Although Li Luoxia said this verbally, when the convoy came, she would not necessarily rush directly to it.

"If you see King Qin's people, don't do it for the time being, wait for them to finish their actions before going up, and don't have unnecessary casualties."

Since it has become two people acting separately, she must take advantage of it, and if King Qin does it before them, she can save herself a lot of effort.

After pointing to the map and explaining a few words to the guards, the group left, walking towards the woods marked on the map, and lay in ambush in the grass.

Li Luobing and the others had finally affected the speed of their progress because of the injuries of Chu Ruoqi and the others, and they arrived near the woods half an hour later than Li Luoxia expected.

"County Lord, are we going to act now?" A secret guard turned around and asked Li Luoxia.

Li Luoxia squatted in the grass and looked up: "Wait, they are a little far away, and they haven't come to our neighborhood yet." ”

In fact, at this time, Li Luoxia's heart was also very impatient, if it weren't for killing Li Luobing, she could now stay in the house with peace of mind and enjoy her life as the county lord, there was no need to ambush with the secret guards all the time.

But all this will soon be over, and Li Luobing will soon have to pay it back with his life.

In the convoy at this time, Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the city wall of Chaoyang City from a distance, which already indicated that it was coming, so there would be a lot less danger.

"It's finally here." Li Luobing breathed a sigh of relief after lowering the curtain, and talked to Chu Ruobing while changing the dressing.

"You see the city wall now, but it's actually a certain distance to the city gate."

"That's a lot better than the previous few days, your injuries must be further treated, there are some medicines I haven't brought all, I can only see if there will be one in Chaoyang City." Li Luobing was a little worried.

"It's okay, I don't feel any pain at all now, I'm completely fine." In order to prove his words, Chu Ruoyan also deliberately raised his arm.

Li Luobing knew that he was comforting himself, so he just smiled and didn't say anything more. After she changed the gauze, she let Chu Ruoya put on her clothes.

As soon as the two of them put their things away, Yang Zhen ran over.

"Your Highness, my subordinates always feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Chu Ruoyan became alert, she was almost in Chaoyang City, and they didn't want to have another accident.

"The subordinates feel that the surroundings are a little too quiet, not a single person in the vicinity has seen them, and there are woods around, but they don't hear any bird calls at all, don't you think it's a little unusual?" Yang Zhen's face was full of doubt.

After hearing Yang Zhen's words, Chu Ruoyan deliberately looked out, although he felt that something was indeed wrong, but he didn't see anything special.

"Let everyone be vigilant, just wait until you enter the city, don't take it lightly."

"Yes." Yang Zhen took the order and left, and Chu Ruoya and Li Luobing in the carriage took their weapons by their side.

The convoy had not gone a few steps when a rain of arrows suddenly attacked them, and several of the accompanying guards were unable to dodge and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Get out of the way." Seeing this, the other guards immediately reacted, shouting loudly as they drew their swords.

Li Luoxia, who was in the grass, knew that it was Chu Ruoyang who made the first move when she saw this scene, and she signaled her secret guards to stand still and quietly observe the progress of the matter.

After hearing the movement, Chu Ruoyan rushed out regardless of his own injuries, came directly to Guo Dong's side, and stabbed a black shadow who was about to attack him from behind.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life." Guo Dong was a little shocked.

"Shane will talk about it when he enters the city, and now get rid of these people." Chu Ruoyan said while fighting these people.

"It's almost time to Chaoyang City, why don't they let us go? And it seems that there are a lot fewer people attacking this time than before. During the fight, Guo Dong and Yang Zhen asked Chu Ruoyan together.

Hearing the words of the two of them, Chu Ruoyan also noticed the change in the number of people, compared with the previous two times, there were indeed fewer people, but the cooperation was more tacit.

"Pay attention to protect the princess, ignore these things for now, and repel them."

Li Luoxia, who was in the grass, felt that the opportunity had come after seeing Chu Ruoyao get out of the carriage, and she whispered to the secret guards beside her.

"Remember, you have to take advantage of the chaos to enter the carriage and tie Princess Yan back to the county lord."

"Why are you tied up, isn't it just killing?" The dark guards were very incomprehensible to Li Luoxia's inconsistent words.

"Just kill?" Li Luoxia laughed a few times, "It's too cheap to kill her directly, I want her to taste the taste of losing everything." ”

"Yes."

After listening to Li Luoxia's words, the secret guards quietly sneaked into the battle from the grass, and because they were wearing the same clothes as Chu Ruoyang's people, they were not distinguished for a while.

Li Luobing was holding her short blade in the carriage at this time, paying attention to the movements around her, she knew that it was better to stay in the carriage if she went out now, if she went out, it would cause a lot of trouble to Chu Ruoyao, and she would also ask him to distract herself to protect herself.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and when Li Luobing was not paying attention, the two secret guards took her out of the carriage by holding her left and right, and covered her mouth to prevent Li Luobing from calling for help.

Li Luobing has been frowning and struggling, but to no avail. Just as the guards were about to drag Li Luobing into the grass, one of the guards noticed the anomaly here.

"The princess has been taken away!" As soon as his voice fell, he was stabbed in the back by the secret guard and fell to the ground.

But the movement here also successfully made Chu Ruoyan and the others discover the abnormality. After seeing Li Luobing in danger, Chu Ruoyan immediately put down the battle in his hand and rushed over to Li Luobing's side.

Chu Ruoyang has also been secretly observing quietly, and when he found that the number of people was obviously larger, he knew that it was Li Luoxia who came. He quietly withdrew some of his secret guards, wanting to focus on Li Luoxia in order to reduce his losses.

When the two secret guards were about to drag Li Luobing into the grass, Chu Ruoyan arrived in time, and seeing this scene, one of the secret guards let go of Li Luobing's arm and fought with Chu Ruobing.

"Are you the people of the King of Qin, or the people of the county lord? Or did you come together? Chu Ruoyan asked while fighting.

Because he found a problem, these two groups of people do not belong to the same camp, it may be that the two of them are working together, or they may be fighting separately. After hearing his words, the dark guards had an obvious hesitation in their movements, and Chu Ruoyu saw the opportunity to pick the secret guard's sword away.

It would be much easier to deal with one after the other, Li Luobing saw Chu Ruoyan running towards him, and the secret guard who was dragging him was distracted, so she found the right time to directly hit the secret guard in the abdomen with her elbow, and took the opportunity to break free from his arm.

When it was too late, Chu Ruoyan stepped forward with an arrow and stabbed the sword into the heart of the secret guard, the dark guard snorted and fell straight to the ground, Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao looked at each other and smiled, they finally solved this small crisis.

Seeing the situation here, the dark guards stopped fighting and left quickly.

Chu Ruoyan looked at everyone's situation, this time they had a total of three dead, and the rest of the people had not healed from their old injuries and added new injuries, but they were already almost in Chaoyang City, and their situation was much better than before in the woods.

"Pack up, hurry into the city to recuperate, don't delay here." After Chu Ruoqi finished speaking, everyone cleaned up the surroundings, carefully carried the dead brothers into the carriage, and prepared to enter the city to give them a good burial.

Li Luoxia and Chu Ruoyang didn't grasp this last opportunity, watching Chu Ruoyang and them walk towards Chaoyang City, if they chased after them now, they would definitely expose their identities, because they were too close to Chaoyang City now, so they could only stop here and let them escape from their hands.
