In the tent, Yang Yan sat on a cushion, took the tea handed by Dali Temple, and said: "It was a black Jiao who attacked the official ship, and it should be the Jiao of the Northern Demon Clan." The strength is not bad, four pins, I can't beat it in the water. ”

He is not a person who talks a lot, he finished concisely, gave a comparison of his own strength with the other party, and then was silent without saying a word.

Chu Xianglong's face changed greatly.

Hearing the existence of the four-grade dragon, Dali Sicheng and others had strange expressions, stunned, fearful and anxious.

Chen Zhutou frowned, and said, "Does General Chu know the details of that dragon?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Xianglong with squinted eyes.

Everyone looked over, and the invisible pressure made Chu Xianglong unable to continue to remain silent, and after hesitating, he said in a deep voice:

"Heijiao, Sipin, if you guess correctly, it should be Tang Shanjun. ”

He really knew Heijiao......... Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed slightly, the enemy who set up an ambush on the Flowstone Beach was the Northern Demon Clan, since the Northern Demon Clan was dispatched, what about the Northern Barbarians who have always been in the same breath?

In addition, the princess's trip to the north was kept secret, and the official ship went north at a very fast speed, and it stands to reason that it was impossible for the northern demon clan to set up an ambush in advance.

Unless they knew that the princess was going north.

Our first beauty is really not simple, it is worth the barbarians to go deep into the enemy's hinterland to ambush with such fanfare.......... Looking at Chu Xianglong's face just now, he seemed to be extremely surprised, and he was obviously shocked by the attack of the Northern Demon Clan........ In Xu Qi'an's mind, countless thoughts flashed.

Chen Zhutou said in a low voice: "Yang Jinluo, besides Heijiao, are there any other enemies?"

Yang Yan shook his head: "I didn't find it." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Dali Temple Cheng was relieved, and his heart was much more stable, and said: "If there is only one Sipin, we don't have to worry too much........"

After speaking, he heard Xu Qi'an sneer and said: "The northern barbarians and the northern demon clan are in the same breath, since the demon clan has made a move, will the barbarians be far away."

"If my guess is correct, there are masters in ambush at all the major passes to the north. Believe me, unless we abandon the wagons and supplies and cross the mountains, sooner or later we will be ambushed again. ”

In recent years, there have only been a few official roads, and there are countless sheep intestine paths, but the paths that those people have stepped on are difficult to ride horses, not to mention horse-drawn carriages and flatbed carts for transporting supplies.

In ancient times, the path cutting thieves only needed to occupy an official road, robbing caravans and pedestrians along the way, and they could make a lot of money.

As soon as he said this, the two imperial historians and Dali Temple Cheng hurriedly looked at Chen Zhutou, they no longer believed in Chu Xianglong.

Although Chen Zhutou has a low official position, he is an experienced martial artist and his own person, and his statement is the most trustworthy.

Chen Zhutou nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "Lord Xu's analysis is very reasonable, and it is even the truth. I even thought, since there is a fourth rank in the waterway, what about the other ambush sites? Could there also be a fourth rank, or more four ranks?

"The northern barbarians and demon clans have joined forces, and it is not a problem to dispatch a certain number of four products. ”

The four-grade master is on the rivers and lakes, that is a well-known big man, and he is a local overlord. But in the imperial court, not to mention that there are as many as cow hair, but there will definitely be no shortage.

This is a very simple truth, if there are more four products on the rivers and lakes than the imperial court, then it will not be the imperial court that rules the world.

The northern barbarians and demon clans are equivalent to the northern united court.

"How, how is this good?"

The three civil servants were a little anxious.

As long as the enemy has two four-rank soldiers, their team will be in danger, and if there are three, they will be completely annihilated.

The atmosphere in the tent became silent and serious.

The three civil officials, as well as Chen Zhutou, frowned, although there were a hundred forbidden troops outside and their own guards, they could not bring them the slightest sense of security.

In fact, the guard force of the mission was already very sufficient, there were a hundred forbidden soldiers, dozens of guards, four more silver gongs, eight copper gongs, and a four-rank golden gong.

Such a team, as long as it is not targeted by the big forces, is enough to walk sideways in all parts of Dafeng, and even go to the north and northeast to retreat.

At the beginning, Governor Zhang led the team to Yunzhou, which was also such a scale, and the journey was safe.

But the current situation is that they are likely to encounter the joint ambush and targeting of the northern demon clan and the barbarian clan, and behind them are the great forces that dominate the north.

"The northern barbarians and demon clans, why did they intercept and kill the princess? Chen Zhutou stared at Chu Xianglong with sharp eyes.

"That's not something you should know. Chu Xianglong snorted coldly.

Chen Zhutou said angrily: "If you knew that the enemy was the Northern Demon Clan and the Barbarian Clan, why didn't you send the forbidden army to escort it, and you had to hide in the mission?"

The bad situation made him angry, and he no longer cared about Chu Xianglong's identity, and his attitude was-for-tat.

Yes, if you have a certain psychological preparation for encountering an ambush, wouldn't it be safer to directly deploy the forbidden army to escort you......... After all, this is the realm of Dafeng, sending a large-scale forbidden army to escort the princess, even if the northern barbarians and demon clans dispatch the four-grade masters, they will only have the end of drinking hatred, after all, the forbidden army will definitely carry large-scale killing weapons, and there are many masters in the army itself.......

But Emperor Yuan Jing let the princess sneak into the mission, no one knew about it, and secretly left Beijing........ Xu Qi'an flashed this shocking thought in his heart:

They are guarding against enemies within the court!

There were people in the court who didn't want the princess to go to the north to see King Huai......... What will happen if the princess goes to the north? There is indeed a deeper inside story behind this.

Also, how did the demons and barbarians learn about it in advance and set up an ambush?

These clues are disorganized, clueless, and a headache to think.

The quarrel between Chu Xianglong and the three civil officials sounded in his ears, Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows, immersed in his own thoughts:

"Actually, I have a simpler way, that is, to invite you into the urn, take the initiative to attract the masters of the barbarian and demon clans, and extract information from them. ”

The more Xu Qi'an thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, first of all, he had King Kong who was comparable to the four products, and even surpassed him, and if he singled out a fourth product, even if he couldn't win, it would be difficult for the other party to kill him.

After all, Wufu will not attack the Yuan Shen, if it is the fourth grade of the Daomen, Xu Qi'an will not say a word, turn around and leave. After all, his Yuan Shen level is still at the sixth grade.

Even if his Yuan Shen was stronger than most of the Sixth Ranks, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the Daomen Fourth Rank powerhouses.

Secondly, he has a magic book given by Confucianism and puts it in the game, which is a super rare skill scroll.

Although I have a low level, I know kryptonite.

In the battle between heaven and man, it was precisely because of the effect of the Confucian magic book that he made up for the weakness of the Yuan Shen, thus defeating Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen.

In the end, there is also a Shenshu monk in his body, which is his greatest confidence.

However, the existence of Shenshu Monk cannot be exposed, even if he is summoned, he must be without teammates, otherwise he will only kill people....... If it was just to save the princess, it wouldn't make me work so hard........ Xu Qi'an's index finger and thumb rubbed his chin.

Saving the princess is just incidental, his purpose is to get information.

"The north is the territory of the king of Zhenbei, go directly to it, and plunge into the surveillance range of others. All actions are under the noses of the other party.

"In this case, I will either not investigate the case, or I will die to the king of Zhenbei. ”

For a logical reasoning master, it is impossible to put himself in such a passive situation.

It is necessary to obtain more clues and intelligence before arriving in the north, so that plans can be made and investigations can be launched.

At this point, the quarrel ended.

Chu Xianglong spread out a map on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Yang Jinluo has been followed all the way?"

Yang Yan shook his head.

As a pinnacle-level fourth-grade, there are not many people who can follow him, and Wufu's intuition is not an ornament.

Chu Xianglong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Very good, then we still have a chance." In the current situation, there must be no turning back. We should arrive at Jiangzhou City as soon as possible, and ask for help from Jiangzhou's political envoys, who are all in command of Jiangzhou, and ask them to mobilize the troops of the guard post for defense. ”

Everyone nodded slowly.

Jiangzhou City is the main city of a province, and there is no shortage of troops and masters, so it will be safe when you enter Jiangzhou City. If the four products of the barbarian and demon clans dare to enter the city, they are destined to have no return.

"As long as we can successfully reach the main city of Jiangzhou, we can ask the imperial court for help, or directly deploy the Jiangzhou army and escort the princess to the north. Chu Xianglong said.

"Makes sense. Dali Temple nodded slowly.

"So next, we're going to make a marching route. Chu Xianglong pointed to the map and said:

"The nearest road to Jiangzhou is the official road we are taking now, and we can reach it in two days. But this path is also the most dangerous. So we had to take a detour. ”

Chen Zhutou shook his head and retorted: "The detour is also dangerous, there are too many of us, and there are Zizhong and female dependents, so we can't go fast at all." And the other party is a master of light cars and simple driving, and sooner or later he will be locked and caught up. ”

Chu Xianglong smiled and said, "So, we have to abandon the carriage, horses, and some of the weight." They also traveled lightly, and could not take the official road to fight guerrillas with them. ”

It has to be said that it was a very smart decision.

Although the other party is a master, it is impossible to sneak into the enemy's belly to set up an ambush, and it is impossible to take the army. This results in a shortage of manpower to carry out large-scale raids.

At this time, Chu Xianglong really showed the quality of an experienced general.

This type of flight is not uncommon on the march to war.

Everyone looked at Xu Qi'an.

There are still a few brushes, and it is impossible to be a mediocre person to achieve the position of deputy general of Zhenbei Wang........ Xu Qi'an also feels that such an arrangement is the best choice at present.

"I'm fine. He said lightly.

Chu Xianglong smiled proudly, and looked at Host Xu's eyes with provocation and contempt, as if telling him:

The boy whose hair has not grown is still too tender, so learn a little.

Immediately, the officials came out of their tents, gathered their men, and gave orders to prepare for a night's march.

Chu Xianglong woke up a group of maidservants, then stopped by the carriage where the princess was, bowed down and said, "Princess, something happened." ”

A few seconds later, a woman's calm voice came from the carriage: "What's the matter?"

Chu Xianglong said in a low voice: "The ship was ambushed on the waterway and has sunk, we are still not out of danger, and the enemy is likely to chase and kill us." ”

The maidservants, who had left the carriage rubbing their eyes, exclaimed in exclamation when they heard this.

The old aunt, who was mixed with the maidservants, shrank her head in fright, and panic flashed in her eyes.

Chu Xianglong continued: "The last general decided to take the mountain road to avoid pursuit, so please prepare quickly and leave overnight. ”

The old aunt hurriedly returned to the carriage, packed her luggage and dry food, and her desire to survive was terrible.

The maidservants then reacted and began to go their separate ways.

...........

Leaving behind part of the mission procession, carrying dry food and water, they left the official road, walked through ridges, plains, and mountains, and began the arduous trek.

Yang Yan led the team to the front, and Xu Qi'an led the forbidden army to the rear of the palace.

At dawn, the team rests at the foot of the mountain to replenish food and regain strength.

Xu Qi'an nibbled on the tasteless baked cake and drank a sip of water, glad that he didn't bring the little mare with him, otherwise this beloved mount would have been lost.

The sound of soft footsteps leaned over, and when I looked back, it was an old aunt with a tired face.

She stood not far away, a little hesitant, and when she saw Xu Qi'an looking over, she immediately bit her silver teeth, strode over, sat down beside Xu Qi'an, and whispered:

"Will we be able to get to the north without any problems? ”

Xu Qi'an replied: "You are a maid of the palace, you should ask Chu Xianglong this question." ”

I can't trust him........ She held the kettle, swept the crowd with some worry, and said softly, "I'm a little scared." ”

She was very scared, so she subconsciously came to Xu Qi'an, maybe in her heart, in this mission, what can really make her feel secure is not Jin Gong Yang Yan, nor Chu Xianglong, who swears allegiance to the king of Zhenbei.

It's the young man who keeps teasing her along the way, the silver gong who is a blockbuster in the fighting, and the man who is above the Weishui and subdues the sky and man with both hands.

"Are you afraid of death?" asked Xu Qi'an expressionlessly.

She nodded, then shook her head again.

"There is no problem with Chu Xianglong's plan, and with good luck, we can reach Jiangzhou safely. When you arrive in Jiangzhou, you will be safe, besides, you little maidservant, what's so terrible? Seeing that the opportunity is not good, just run away, and people will still worry about you?"

Xu Qi'an laughed at her timidity.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Jiangzhou. She sighed.

After staying up all night and hurrying, it was only more than two hours, and her legs were already weak and she couldn't walk.

"Am I carrying you?" Xu Qi'an proposed.

She shook her head.

"If, if the pursuers intercept us, you ........," she retorted, "will the guards protect the princess?"

When she asked this question, her eyes flashed with hope, like a star.

It seems that as long as Xu Qi'an gives a positive answer, she will be at peace in her heart.

"Of course not," Xu Qi'an refused:

"Any of our is to investigate the case, not to protect the princess, the princess has nothing to do with us, if the enemy is too strong, we will flee by ourselves. Anyway, their target is the princess. ”

That's right........ The light in her eyes dimmed a little, and she got up silently and returned to her place, hugging her knees.

She was in the crowd, but she didn't fit in with the people around her, and she seemed lonely and pitiful.

...........

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xianglong got up and said loudly, "Keep going." ”

The well-trained janissaries and guards stood up in silence, packed their bags, picked up their weapons, and prepared for action.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qi'an's hairs suddenly stood up, and the next moment, a picture naturally appeared in his mind, and in the mountains and forests above his head, a boulder crashed down.

Almost at the same time, Yang Yan Huo Ran in front of him raised his head and stared at the mountain behind him with burning eyes.

Call......

A boulder two feet tall was thrown down the hill and towards the core of the team.

In the mission, the rest of the warriors slowed down, and they didn't sense it until the boulder was thrown. And the ordinary soldiers and maidservants haven't reacted at this time.

...........

PS: I've been doing a detailed outline for a long time today.
