Chapter 3 Ambush in the Jungle

Outside Luoyang City, a group of people are heading towards Tokyo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you look closely, you can see that these people are not ordinary people, although the carriages are not very luxurious, they are spacious and sturdy, and the attendants on horseback are all sturdy men, with swords pinned to their waists.

The attendant was polite and dignified, and knew that she had been taught by her grandmother. Such a person along the way is naturally a little eye-catching.

It was not the first time that Wang Shu wanted to get out of the carriage, he felt suffocated, and the choked breath in his chest made him feel a headache.

"This visit to the imperial tomb is to let my father and the emperor's spirit in heaven bless me to give birth to an heir for the royal family as soon as possible. When he first came out of the mausoleum, Zhao Qianyu said this sentence.

It was also because of this sentence that Wang Shu became more and more uneasy in the carriage.

Zhao Qianyu next to him didn't notice the abnormality, and still took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it as usual.

"Is the horse sick?" Zhao Qianyu asked worriedly.

"It's just that the carriage is a little stuffy, so the princess doesn't have to worry, go out first to breathe. Wang Shu said, avoiding Zhao Qianyu's hand, and walked out of the carriage quickly.

Li Nu saw Wang Shu get on the horse and walk with him, he shook his head helplessly, he understood very well that in the imperial court, the more high-ranking officials and ministers would have to suffer, and the horse captain beside him was a living example.

Even if Wang Shu has something on his mind, he always pays attention to the situation on the road, because the eldest princess of Shu is sitting in the carriage behind him.

"Dense forest ahead, watch out. "His heart is inexplicably unsteady, perhaps because of the experience brought by long-term combat, he feels that danger lurks.

Not long after the convoy entered the dense forest, the atmosphere around it seemed wrong, and someone seemed to be spying on all this in the secret place.

And they are like waiting prey, ready to be caught at any moment.

"Protect the princess. Wang Xuan pulled out his sword, approached the carriage where Zhao Qianyu was, and cautiously looked at the surrounding situation.

Li Nu also drew his sword and surrounded the carriage with his guards.

Sure enough, among the thick tree trunks on the side of the road, people in black kept appearing, all of them wearing black cloaks, holding swords and tapping their toes on the branches, which showed that their light skills were excellent.

"What person?" asked Wang Xu.

The man in black didn't speak, just stalemate with him like this, and he didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, but he had no intention of leaving.

Wang Xu carefully observed these black-clothed people, from their clothes to their swords, but he couldn't determine the origin of this passer-by.

This dense forest is about five miles away from Luoyang City, and there is no town to the east that can come to support, and these black-clothed men are ambushing again, obviously planned in advance. And such an ambush seems to be a common number of roads in the bloodthirsty rivers and lakes, which makes people unguardable, and they are besieged by these black-clothed people with extremely high martial arts.

A stick of incense had passed, but the man in black did not move, as if he was deliberately trying to trap them here.

Wang Shu wanted to leave quickly, but he couldn't, he didn't know the strength of the other party, and making a rash move was tantamount to killing himself.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from both directions of the road, and it was getting closer and closer, but from the importance of the horses' hooves, it was concluded that there was only one person at the east exit, and a large number of people were coming from the direction of Luoyang City, besides, it was not known whether the other party was friend or foe.

At this time, the man in black who trapped them was still unmoved, which was too much like a trap.

Wang Xuan knew that going on like this would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, and ordered: "Listen to General Linu's orders, everyone protects the princess and breaks through to the east." ”

Li Nu knew that the situation was urgent, and he couldn't take too much care in this situation, so he could only take the princess out first, so he flew into the carriage and whipped the horse fiercely: "Protect the princess and retreat." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage galloped away, and the guards around him also escorted the carriage to retreat.

At this time, only Wang Shu led a few guards on horseback, and looked coldly at the black-clothed people around him and couldn't be afraid: "Your target is me." ”

"General Linu, go back quickly and save the horses. Zhao Qianyu poked his head out of the carriage and found that everyone had withdrawn from the encirclement just now, but he didn't see Wang Xu.

"Princess, Lord Lieutenant has said that the princess will be brought back unharmed. Li Nu looked solemn, and whipped the horses vigorously, and the speed of the carriage did not slow down, but faster.

"Hongu orders you. Zhao Qianyu walked out of the carriage as he spoke, and Li Nu was unmoved and just concentrated on driving.

"If you don't save it, this palace won't go back with you. Saying that, Zhao Qianyu was about to jump out of the carriage, but was stopped by Li Nu.

"Princess, please don't embarrass your subordinates, if you go back, not only will you not be able to save the captain, but you will also hurt yourself. Li Nu was worried that Zhao Qianyu would really jump out of the carriage and be injured, so he immediately stopped.

"General, someone is coming. The guards around guarded the carriage and reminded Linu.

Not far away, a man in white galloped on a horse, and the closer he got, the more familiar he felt to him, and only when he reached them did he jump out of the carriage and run over.

"Li Nu, why are you here? What about Jin Qing?" Ye Jinyi saw a team of people from a distance, but it was Li Nu, but Wang Shu was the only one among the people.

"Night Boy, we have encountered an ambush, and the captain is still ・・・・・・" Li Nu looked in the direction of the man in black, and stopped talking.

Ye Jinyi saw Zhao Qianyu who was sitting on the edge of the carriage crying, and immediately understood the reason: "Escort the princess back, I'll go to him." ”

Ye Jinyi rode his horse towards the dense forest, he knew very well that this section of the road was indeed suitable for ambushes, just enough to accommodate four horses in parallel, the roadside was overgrown with weeds, the forest was dense, and the trunk was thick, suitable for ambush, but it was difficult for the ambushed people to break out of the encirclement, and the birdsong in the forest was very complicated, and it was extremely difficult to be detected.

In addition, after the dense forest, there are small hills in the distance, and after the hills are still dense forests, such terrain is not only suitable for ambushes, but also easy for ambushers to evacuate.

He believed that the people who should have been evacuated had withdrawn without leaving a trace, and it was time for him to collect the nets.

He got closer and closer to Wang Xu, and clearly saw that in addition to Wang Shu and the slain guards, there was also a team of men and horses, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that the team was an assassin.

"Jin Qing. He jumped off his horse and walked towards Wang Xu, but when he saw the sword wound on Wang Xu's arm, he couldn't help frowning, "Is the injury serious?"

"It's okay, the skin is wounded, thanks to this girl for saving me. Wang Shu comforted Ye Jinyi and thanked the person who rescued him just now.

Ye Jinyi noticed that the group of people he saw just now was led by a woman, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with willow leaves and bent eyebrows, sparkling eyes, obliquely inserted magnolia hairpins in her hair, butterfly double swords pinned to her waist, and wearing a yellow Luo skirt, but her demeanor and temperament were extraordinary, and she was clearly from a famous family.

And the seven or eight white-clothed people behind her each held a sword, and their palms were broad, and thick calluses were faintly visible at the tiger's mouth, and they must be people who have been practicing swords all year round.

Seeing Wang Shu thanking him, the woman was deflated, and fell on the horse's back and said in frustration: "You're polite, if you want to thank these big brothers behind me, if they hadn't chased me for so long, I wouldn't have been able to beat those black-clothed people just now." ”

"Huh. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chuckling from the overgrown weeds on the side of the road.

"Your Excellency is finally willing to show up. Ye Jinyi faced the direction of the dense forest, and said coldly, his face was well understood.

As soon as he arrived, he felt that there was still a person here, and his internal strength was profound, although the aura was not all hidden, but it was not easy to have this kind of cultivation.

As he spoke, a man walked out from behind a thick tree, dressed in a red robe, with his long hair untied, but his sideburns loosely tied behind his head, looking natural and casual.

And this man is very beautiful, the flowing peach blossom eyes are full of people's souls, the lips are thin and bright red, but the angular chin makes him a little more masculine, and the exquisite bone fan in his hand adds a bit of elegance to it.

Wonderful.

After Ye Jinyi saw this man, he was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he regained his clarity.

"It's so deep. The man smiled and looked at Ye Jinyi, as if he was secretly observing each other while Ye Jinyi was observing him.

"I don't know why Your Excellency is laughing?" Wang Shu came out to break the deadlock and asked.

"It's just that I heard Miss Chu say that if it weren't for these strong men, Miss Chu alone would not be an opponent. But in my opinion, if it weren't for those men in black who left in a hurry, these strong men would probably have become the souls of their swords. The man shook the bone fan in his hand, as if remembering the scene.

"How could my people from Truman not be the opponents of those people?" The woman was angry when she heard this, and the few guards behind her were sent by her eldest brother to take her back, all of them were elites in the village, how could they not withstand those people in black.

When Ye Jinyi heard this, she seemed to have the same doubts, and couldn't help asking, "In that case, why didn't they find Your Excellency?"

"No, actually, they found out. The man in red looked around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Ye Jinyi, "However, I don't seem to be in the way. ”
