Chapter 143: It's an official sword
At this time, Qianyue Mountain also rushed over as soon as possible, and after seeing the surrounding situation, his face was gloomy, and he immediately pulled out his matching sword.
"Protect the prince!" Qianyue Mountain led people to block in front of Su Zhaoyang.
Su Zhaoyang is Liu Zhongqing's most important chess piece, and he can't let Su Zhaoyang die in front of him.
It's just that this is a surprise attack, and the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.
Not only do you have to defend yourself against enemy bows and cold arrows, but you also have to watch out for ambushes in the deep forest.
Su Zhaoyang observed his surroundings while dodging.
Their tent was set in the middle of a dense forest, but the surrounding woods were dense enough to obscure the view and make it impossible to discern their directions.
What's the matter, someone dares to snatch the royal military horse?
Fortunately, the opponent's crossbow arrows should not be many, and after three rounds of shooting, they stopped.
At this time, Qianyue Mountain and more than a dozen elites have formed an iron bucket-like formation, but fortunately, they are the elite soldiers of the Liu family, fully equipped, with shield soldiers in front to block arrows, and spearmen in the back to resist surprise attacks.
Su Zhaoyang checked left and right, and found that there were hundreds of people in the transportation team, but now there are only a few dozen.
Worst...... Have they already been killed? Could it be that the other party is coming for the 100,000 stone grain?
Su Zhaoyang's face was pale, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
At this moment, the sound of Suosuo was heard from all around, and one after another people in black scarves came out of the woods.
"It's worthy of the royal army, it's stronger than us!" The person at the head laughed, and seemed to be very disdainful of the struggle of Su Zhaoyang and the others.
Half of his face was covered, but Su Zhaoyang could see from the torch held by the other party that there seemed to be a long scar on the man's face, which was cut from the top of his head to the lower part covered by the black scarf.
"Who are you? Knowing that it was a royal carriage, he dared to sneak attack, so he was not afraid of being copied from the Nine Clans? Su Zhaoyang scolded, but secretly screamed in his heart.
The group of Assassins was clearly well prepared, they were only about two hundred men, while the enemy was densely packed with nearly two hundred men, and the opponents were well-armed and even equipped with bows and crossbows.
"Hahaha, you little rabbit cub who doesn't have any hair, you are really stupid, we slaughter you today, and tomorrow we can loot the treasure house of the emperor Lao'er! The day after tomorrow, maybe that dragon chair will also be for Uncle Ben to sit on! ”
His unbridled laughter reverberated throughout the forest.
The other masked black-turbaned men also laughed when they heard this, and seemed to have a different kind of hatred for the royal family.
And this is already a blatant rebellion, the other party not only has bows and arrows, but also knives and guns, and the weapons of the Wu Dynasty have a strict control system.
The Wu Dynasty has rules, whoever hides the blade privately, behead!
The crime of rebellion is the top priority, punish the nine clans!
It is simply impossible for civilians to have such elite equipment. Unless......
"Where the hell did you come from?!"
Su Zhaoyang's words made them stunned for a moment, and the leader laughed, "What, when death is imminent, there is still time to care about this?" ”
They seemed complacent, not at all worried about missing out.
Because they have enough numbers and equipment, and these people are far inferior to them in terms of martial arts and physical strength.
Su Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and endured the pain, not saying a word, but there were monstrous waves in his heart.
If these people are not bandits and have such a large number of weapons, most of them are traitors.
Did they take advantage of the flood disaster in Jingzhou to make a fortune as refugees?
Looking at their weapons again, and looking at the logo of the Wu Dynasty's official mansion on them, Su Zhaoyang's pupils shrank sharply.
"This is an official knife?" Su Zhaoyang blurted out.
"Well, you won't see the sun tomorrow." The leader of the black turban turbaned with disdainful scoff.
Su Zhaoyang's mind was spinning quickly, they were so powerful, and the sneak attack plan was quite skillful, it was obviously not the first time they had done this kind of thing, why had they never heard of it.
He turned his head to look at Qianyue Mountain, and the other party seemed to be even more frightened, holding the sword in both hands and trembling, even his lips were pale in color.
Su Zhaoyang closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
If they all die here, the 100,000 stone of grain and their corpses will be completely buried in this barren wilderness.
In the end, he made up his mind and let Li Yunxing's guards go first and hand the news to the prince.
"Follow this king! Fight the enemy! Su Zhaoyang shouted, and took the lead in rushing towards the assassin opposite with his sword.
Seeing this, the leader of the black scarf was also fearless, and led people to fight with Su Zhaoyang.
Moreover, the other party seems to be very familiar with the terrain and occupies the advantage of the right time and place.
Although Qianyueshan and others are strong in martial arts, after all, two fists are difficult to beat four hands.
A group of masked black-turbaned people swarmed in, and the only remaining twenty or so guards around Qianyue Mountain and King Zhaoyang struggled to resist, but they were still defeated and retreated, and were soon caught by the other party.
Li Yunxing's personal guards also took advantage of the chaotic battle to turn over and send news to Li Yunxing all the way, but after all, it was a night raid, and even then he was seriously injured.
The sound of swords colliding sounded everywhere, their real purpose was to snatch food, and killing Su Zhaoyang and the others was also to avoid leaking the news.
So, while the night was dark and the wind was high, they had already secretly emerged from the woods and silently wiped out the soldiers at the end of the line in the darkness.
Su Zhaoyang desperately guarded the four or five grain trucks in front of his head, refusing to give up, but the other party was too numerous, and he was soon forced to retreat.
Several of them were surrounded in a circle, and they could only do the final battle of the trapped beasts, and the more they fought, the more they suffered, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"So, you met robbers at night, and Su Zhaoyang asked you to escape and send a message to the palace?" Li Yunxing asked.
The guard nodded, although he didn't see the result, he could probably guess that the rest of the people might be more than lucky.
Li Yunxing naturally understands this truth.
Su Zhaoyang is not dead, he has no thoughts in his heart.
But the people of Jingzhou are waiting for the 100,000 stone grain to save their lives, and this group of people dares to openly rob the royal family's grain and grass, and they are bold!
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his muscles jumped violently, and a strong evil aura erupted from top and bottom of his body.
"There are actually people in Jingzhou who rebelled, why has this palace never received news!" Li Yunxing roared angrily.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there should be spies in Jingzhou City, this is a deliberate blockade of the news!"
Li Yunxing slapped the table hard, "Okay! Bengong sees that they are tired and crooked. ”
The guard said in a trembling voice, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people of Jingzhou still need your protection, please make sure the prince returns to Beijing as soon as possible to send the forbidden army to support." ”
Li Yunxing closed his eyes, controlling his surging anger, and he exhaled a long breath.
"You recuperate first." Li Yunxing waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
"Yes." The guard said respectfully.
But what was even more unexpected was that that night, Su Zhaoyang and Qianyue Mountain also arrived in Zhijiang City.
