The Caged Bird Chapter 4: Blood Fills the Aries

Chen San is just the most inconspicuous figure in the Tang Dynasty, his life is as humble as an ant, but he must live, and he has only one purpose in life, that is, to let some people who should not live die.

The starry night, on this road of Aries Road, looks particularly beautiful.

The straightened carriage, the shallow grass around the axles, has turned into a tall aspen next to it.

The tall aspen reveals a little starlight on the road, for Chen San, who has combat experience.

This kind of scene is undoubtedly the most suitable for ambush.

There was silence all around, except for the horse-drawn carriages walking on the Aries Road, making the sound of crushing gravel on the road.

The wind walked through the trees, among the poplars, whistling and whispering, as if there were ghosts crying.

The young man lying on his back in the carriage, his worried eyes suddenly brightened, he stared at the dense forest, listened to the details in the wind, and suddenly roared.

"Enemy attack!"

The sound of the wind passing through the forest finally revealed its truth, and a feather arrow rushed out of the forest like lightning, and almost instantly, the feather arrow pierced the head of the soldier closest to the boy.

A feathered arrow rushed out of the dense forest, and countless feathered arrows rushed out of the dark dense forest one after another.

"Enemy Attack"

"Protecting Your Highness"

The well-trained soldiers, in the shortest possible time, surrounded five carriages, among which the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was besieged in the center.

The dull sound still rang out from the carriage where the feathered arrows had been shot.

"Stand on the shield!"

Faced with a dense stream of feathered arrows, the well-trained soldiers, once again made a decision.

They jumped on the wheels and stood at the window of the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, shielding them with their shields and bodies.

There was a muffled pop.

The sharp feather arrow pierced the soldier on the wheel, and the soldier standing in the carriage window successfully blocked it once, a mortal threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, the price he paid was his life.

Seeing this situation, Chen San rushed to the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as fast as he could, and pulled him out of the carriage regardless of the panicked His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Cover!"

The young man yelled, and he took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and rushed towards a dense forest.

A young man with rich experience in killing horse thieves naturally knows that there is an extremely hidden place in the Aries Road, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the rainstorm of feather arrows, under the leadership of Chen San, their group finally got rid of the dense feather arrows.

"Protect Your Highness, this place is extremely hidden, even if the bandits find out, it is enough to defend. The boy said.

Then, the young man pulled out his sword, with a ruthless look on his face, put his war horse on his crotch, and rushed out towards the bandit.

The boy in the carriage used strips of cloth to tightly connect the knife and his hands.

Seeing the bandits galloping over, the young man slashed out obliquely with the Pu knife in his hand, and blood splashed out in the Aries Road, driving a human head to the ground with a knife.

Straight stabs, oblique teasing, vertical splitting, and sweeping.

These most basic knife skills are like arms wielded by the young man.

The horse did not stop, the Pu knife rolled, and in less than a candle of incense, all the bandits who were close to the boy were beheaded.

The bravery of the young man made the thieves who licked blood on the knife all the year round feel terrified.

The name of Chen San in Fish Dragon Town is a terror in itself to the bandits on the Aries Road.

"Are you Chen San of Yulong Town?" One of the thieves came out, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

The young man who straddled the war horse, stared at the scarred man with his eyes and said: "In the land of the Tang Dynasty, there are actually Qin people, and your Qin Dynasty's hands are really too long." ”

The man with the scar said mockingly: "Young man, you know too many things, this is not good." ”

The corners of the young man's mouth rose, the war horse under his feet let out a roar, and the Pu knife in his hand slashed out, cutting off the knife in the hands of the Qin Dynasty people with one sword, and then picked up diagonally, directly taking away the other party's head.

The leader of the bandits was beheaded in an instant, and the rest of the bandits were in chaos and fled in a panic.

"Want to go?" said the young man on his horse, mocking at the corners of his mouth.

The war horse galloped, the sword flashed in the white sheep road, and one after another heads rolled to the ground.

In autumn, the cool wind at night blows the smell of blood and permeates the Aries Road.

The boy was covered in blood and returned to the hiding place of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"The thieves who attacked and killed His Highness in the Aries Road have been completely eliminated. The boy jumped off his horse and wiped the blood of the knife with a rag.

......

......

"They are not Tang people, they are Qin Dynasty people. "Inside Aries Road, there are soldiers examining the corpses of bandits.

All the thieves who were killed by the teenager, without exception, were all pretended to be from the Qin Dynasty.

The people of the Qin Dynasty, who were active in the land of the Tang Dynasty, ambushed and killed the crown prince of the dynasty in the Aries Road.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his face was gloomy, and there was no one else in the dynasty who could do this, except for a few people.

There are high-end nobles in Chang'an City who are unwilling to let the prince return to China easily, and in order to avoid the exposure of the matter, they choose to join forces with the enemy country, hoping to be the prince on the way back to China.

"Your Highness thinks it's the Prince?" said the master of the palace in a low voice.

In the dynasty, the soldiers of the enemy country can quietly enter the Tang Dynasty, except for the prince who has such great power, I am afraid that there will be no one anymore.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gloomy face and did not speak.

In the Tang Dynasty, everyone knew why the crown prince of the dynasty went to the Qin Dynasty as a proton.

Three years ago, the Tang Dynasty set up the sixth prince Li Anlan as the prince, and the prince Li Changfeng at that time was strongly opposed, which led to turmoil in the court at that time.

At this time, the neighboring Qin Dynasty saw the opportunity and launched a surprise attack on the border.

At that time, Li Anlan, who had just been established as a prince, knelt in front of the Taihe Palace, knocked on the steps and wept blood, regardless of the opposition of the whole country, abandoned the prosperity of Chang'an, and was willing to go to the Qin Dynasty to be a proton for the stability of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Anlan went to the Qin Dynasty as a proton, and in today's view, it seems that it is not simple, among them, I am afraid that the prince is involved.

"Your Highness, this matter is too far-reaching, if Your Highness's guess is true, it will shake the foundation of the country. Master Xuegong said with a solemn look in his eyes.

Colluding with the enemy country and framing the crown prince, any of these things are enough to punish the nine clans, even if it is a prince, he can't escape the death penalty.

......

......

Chen San, who was cleaning the blood stains by the river, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Master of the Xue Palace who were whispering, and naturally didn't know what they were talking about.

But after all, I guessed something, the person who attacked and killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Aries Road was very dark and absolute, which can be seen from the arrows on the carriage.

The Qin people, who pretended to be bandits, were determined to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Aries Road.

And all this, naturally, there are some dignitaries in the court secretly fueling the troubles.

However, the boy was obviously not interested in such a thing, he was just an ordinary guide, and he would not be interested in the power struggle in the dynasty.

As long as he can safely send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the distance to Chang'an City, his task will be completed.

If he can, as Lao Ma said, be able to make contributions on the road and enter the eyes of His Royal Highness, the young man will naturally have a lot of benefits.

However, it is obvious that the young man has already made a contribution in the Aries Road, and under the thousands of arrows, he has safely transferred His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is the supreme merit.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the distance beckoned to Chen San and motioned for the young man to come over.

"Baiyang Road has been ambushed, in your opinion, there is still a rugged road to Minshan Mountain on this trip to Chang'an, how to deal with it?" said His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Baiyang Road was ambushed, and you don't have to guess to know that there will inevitably be ambushes on the next section of the rugged Minshan Road.

Because that is the only place in Chang'an City that can be ambushed.

Aries Dao did not succeed in attacking and killing the prince, so the dignitaries who did not want the prince to return to China would inevitably ambush the prince again in the rugged Minshan Mountain.

"That was the only way to Chang'an. The boy said, pulling out a rudimentary map.

Minshan is the trench of the Tang Dynasty's military defense, where the terrain is very high, surrounded by cliffs, as long as a well-trained army of 100 people, can resist tens of thousands of legions.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the remaining weak soldiers around him, with worry in his eyes.

Such a trench, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is easy for someone to prevent him from entering Chang'an City.

"Although Minshan is a moat, the other party will definitely not ambush a large number of troops here. Chen San said.

Minshan is too close to Chang'an City, and every move of Minshan will be known by Chang'an City for the first time.

If so, if the other party wants to solve the prince silently, he will definitely not make too much noise.

"You mean?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mood couldn't be calm.

Minshan will not place too many troops, then there is only one possibility.

There will be cultivators waiting in Minshan!

Only monks beyond the power of the world can attack and kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in silence.

"In order to prevent me from returning to China, you actually used the power of the monk?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't calm down.

"Your Highness, this requires the strength of the Academy. The young man with the Pu knife on his back said in a low voice.

Fuyao School Palace will never easily use extraordinary power in the land of the Tang Dynasty.

This is something that the entire dynasty knows.

As the spiritual leader of the Tang Dynasty, if the Xue Palace used this terrifying power, then the secular dynasty would only be easily destroyed under the terrifying power of the monks.

"If it is a last resort, the school palace will help. Master Xuegong said.

When the prince of the secular dynasty was threatened with his life, as the master in the palace, he would naturally take action.

"There are strong and weak monks among the monks, and the master is confident that the prince will be sent back to Chang'an City safely?" said the young man who carried the Pu knife with some concern.

If so, if he participated in the duel between the monks, even if the young man had very rich combat experience, in the face of the disparity in strength, the young man was just a cannon fodder.

The master of the palace glanced at the young man lightly, and then said: "Invincible below the stairs!"
