Chapter 156
Pei Jin didn't expect that there was a battle ahead, and the bandits still had the energy to distract them and intercept them.
It seems that the vicinity of Wuxin Mountain is already covered with eyeliners. They are always watching the movements in the capital, and if there is any trouble, they can respond immediately.
This time, they must have seen their Pei family's vehicle and saw few people, so they thought it was a target that could be attacked, so they attacked directly, which prevented them from passing the news and captured the hostages.
There must be a shrewd leader behind these bandits to guide them.
Seeing the three bandits rushing up, all of them were skilled, it was obviously difficult to fully protect her with only one guard by her side, so she had to take out a dagger by herself.
Soon, a bandit found a gap, knocked out Pei Jin's dagger, and dragged her out with his hand, obviously intending to capture her alive.
Pei Jin's face changed drastically, and she struggled immediately, but her leg was injured, so she was powerless to resist.
At this moment, a hissing sound exploded in his ears.
When the bandit raised his head, he was kicked down by the horse's hoof.
Pei Jin also fell to the ground. Before he could react, he felt someone jumping down. When he looked up, it was Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang jumped off quickly, hugged Pei Jin, and fell onto the horseback. He also quickly rode up. Fortunately, there were other guards who stopped the bandits to buy them time.
Lin Qingyang took the reins of the horse and led Pei Jin to run wildly.
It was extremely uncomfortable for Pei Jin to lie on the horse's back, but at this time it was important to escape, so she could only hold on to Lin Qingyang's clothes tightly so as not to fall off.
Originally, they had already escaped from the battle circle, but Mu Huichun suddenly yelled in front of him, and saw his horse go crazy. It turned out that an arrow was shot on the horse's back, and the horse began to lose control. Mu Huichun was so young , I couldn't control it at all on the horse, so I was led to run wildly all the way.
Not far away, Lin Qingyang saw a bandit riding a horse to chase Mu Huichun.
If he is chased, then Mu Huichun will die.
Lin Qingyang didn't care so much, so he could only lead Pei Jin to catch up on horseback.
Not far away is the big mountain forest, Mu Huichun's horse suddenly fell down, and the person was thrown out directly, Lin Qingyang's heart was suspended, but fortunately seeing Mu Huichun was able to get up again, and continued to evade the pursuit behind him.
Mu Huichun was also smart, and hid directly in the forest. There was no road inside, and the horse couldn't get in, so the bandits simply dismounted and arrested people.
By the time Lin Qingyang and the others chased after him, there was no one in sight.
Lin Qingyang was about to get off his horse, but Pei Jin grabbed him, "Lin Qingyang, we don't know martial arts, and if they still catch up, we will all die. Don't go, let's run away together."
Lin Qingyang didn't listen, but persisted, helped Pei Jin adjust his posture, and said, "Go quickly, there are still horses here, and we will catch up later."
"Lin Qingyang, you fool!" Pei Jin was furious.
"I'll be fine!" Lin Qingyang slapped the horse hard with the back of the knife, and the horse took Pei Jin away quickly.
Pei Jin's scolding could be heard from a distance.
Lin Qingyang knows that in the eyes of people like Pei Jin and the others, life is high or low, so the life of a young man is nothing, but it is not for Lin Qingyang, and he is not too noble to save people, but the system does not He didn't give a safety warning, he knew that he would not run into danger if he went to save people, and he and Mu Huichun had already met, chatted, and made an agreement, he couldn't just not do it when he knew it might save someone .
Lin Qingyang took a knife and chased him in. Fortunately, there has been heavy rain recently, and the ground on the mountain is wet, and footprints can still be seen now.
Lin Qingyang followed the footprints and chased for a while, when he suddenly saw a bandit who was lying on the ground.
Lin Qingyang froze for a moment, stepped forward to check vigilantly, and suddenly heard laughter from the side, "Are you really here to save me? Don't worry, I'm dead already."
Turning his head to look, he saw Mu Huichun sitting on a rock not far away and looking at him.
"Why... don't you know martial arts?"
Mu Huichun held a silver needle in his hand, "But I can poison. I can't do it if there are many people, but if there is only one person, as long as I can touch him, he will definitely die."
No wonder the system didn't remind me, it turned out that the person had been killed long ago.Lin Qingyang immediately relaxed and took a deep breath.
"As expected of the person that person has his eyes on, he is indeed a little different." Mu Huichun walked over with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Qingyang turned his stiff arms, observed the surrounding situation, and asked distractedly.
Mu Huichun said: "Nothing, let's go."
Lin Qingyang didn't think too much, they were still in danger now, but when they were about to return the same way, they heard the sound of someone breaking into the woods.The two quickly hid.
"What's the matter? What about people?"
"One ran away on horseback, two broke into here, and the fifth child chased after him, but he yelled for a long time, but no one responded, maybe... ran away."
"It's impossible for the fifth child to chase inside anymore. Maybe he's got his way, leaving a few people nearby to continue monitoring. If anyone comes out, he will catch him up the mountain."
Soon the bandits split into two groups, one stayed behind and the other tried to chase Pei Jin.
Lin Qingyang could only take Mu Huichun and retreat into the mountain.
"What should I do, I can't get out? Or I will make a big poisonous smoke and poison them all to death? But... In that case, if the wind blows, innocent people may be harmed." Mu Huichun said.
"We can wait for someone to rescue us." Lin Qingyang said quickly.
"Are you sure that woman can escape? And didn't you say that the battlefield ahead is very tense? They will send people to look for us? It's so big here, do they know where we are?" Mu Huichun asked three times to express his disapproval.
Lin Qingyang thought for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He looked at Mu Huichun with a smile and said, "We can walk directly from the woods to the barracks."
Mu Huichun snorted, "You don't have a fever, do you? The trees here are so dense and tall, do you know the direction? Do you know where to go? Don't go halfway, or you'll be caught by bandits!"
Lin Qingyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, follow me, I have a super sense of direction." Then he looked up, a green arrow appeared in the sky, and the familiar navigation voice sounded, use it to navigate Chu Lishu It is not easy to get out of the mountains, and it is the best route.
On the other hand, Pei Jin fled back to the camp at a critical moment and was rescued.
The atmosphere in the camp at this time was also very tense, and many people were injured, and the injuries suffered were various, obviously caused by different traps.As soon as Pei's people saw Pei Jin, they hurried up and asked her to make up her mind. After all, the third prince and Pei's cronies who were with him were taken away, and they were in a mess.
However, Pei Jin didn't pay any attention to it right away, but rushed to see General Zhao. On the way, she met Wang Tongen who was still hurt and hurried out to find someone. Jin was alert for a moment, but in the end Wang Tongen didn't say much, but ran out of the camp immediately with a stern face.
"General Zhao, I was attacked by bandits on the way here. Lin Qingyang may be besieged in the mountains now. Please send troops to rescue him."
Zhao Cheng was looking at the topographical map, he was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately reacted: "They have been monitoring the surrounding situation, could it be that the military report I sent to the imperial court was also..." So there is no support until now, because the information is lagging behind up?
Zhao Cheng immediately looked at Pei Jin, and Pei Jin was also smart, and said directly: "It was the carrier pigeons specially domesticated by our Pei clan to send messages, and I only learned about the situation here. All aspects are known. General, Lin Qingyang is the fourth prince's companion, you have to save people!"
"There are not enough troops. If we send people to go now, we are going to die. The mountain is their cover. We don't know where their troops are. We have to wait for rescue." General Zhao was also injured and coughed after speaking. stand up.
"Then you can't... Forget it, where is Chu Lishu! Let me tell him!" Pei Jin said sharply.
General Zhao's face became even more ugly. "At that time, the bandits not only defeated the forces of the three parties attacking the mountain, but also used the trick of praying mantis, cicada and oriole to attack the camp here. They took some people away."
"That……"
"Chu Lishu and Xu Wenze were both arrested."
Pei Jin was shocked immediately, "You... so many of you came to suppress the bandits, but you were all arrested? It's just... the embarrassment of the entire court!"
General Zhao stared wide-eyed for a moment, "If it wasn't for the training of these Highnesses who have their own thoughts, I would be able to clean up this Wuxin Mountain with half of my troops, even if there are traps, they will not be able to match our strong soldiers of Da Zhou! But the manpower was given to them, what did they do! I can't figure it out either, you can ask your Highness later, how did you lose this win-win battle."
Pei Jin was also angry, "What do you mean by that? Even if my Highness is inexperienced in combat, it's not enough to..."
"Heh, did you meet Wang Tongen when you came?"
Pei Jin was taken aback for a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, Wang Tongen's attitude...
"Wang Tongen and the rest of the soldiers came back and explained the situation. The tactics that were originally assigned, first the crown prince temporarily changed and squeezed to the eldest prince's side, and then the third prince also came to the eldest prince's side to join in the fun. Our own people fell into traps many times, which led to an imbalance in the situation, defeat on the battlefield, and they directly came to Rolling Stones, almost killing them all." General Zhao said that he almost died of anger.
From the very beginning, Chu Lishu studied the terrain and possible situations with him. In terms of military talent, General Zhao saw Chu Lishu's talent and was delighted, thinking that this time he would definitely be able to do well what the prime minister asked him to do.According to their analysis, the three princes were assigned locations where they needed to act.Naturally, it gave the eldest prince the greatest advantage. As long as the eldest prince does not mess up, he will surely win.
When the time comes, the people they send to monitor the prince and the third prince will act as a hindrance, causing the prince and the third prince to be taken hostage, giving the eldest prince the best chance to rescue the two princes, so as to create the best reputation.And no matter how evil Wuxin Village is, it will definitely be completely crushed under such a force.
Everything was fine at first, but I didn't expect the prince and the third prince to change their minds temporarily, which disrupted the whole plan. In the end, they didn't need their people to do anything. The prince and the third prince cheated themselves and were captured directly. Fierce refused to be captured, so I don't know where he fled. The mountains are too big and he gets lost easily. His whereabouts are still unknown.And it is said that many of their traps are poisonous, and it is not known whether the eldest prince will come back to help them complete the plan.
The most frightening thing is that there is no eldest prince with enough troops to rescue him, and he does not know how long the prince and the third prince can live. If something happens to all three of them, then General Zhao must be to blame. The crime will be blamed on the four princes, and they will really have a hard time saying it.
Pei Jin held his breath and found Pei's people. Someone came down from the battlefield and asked about the situation. Naturally, that person didn't dare to hide anything, so he could only say: "The Third Highness heard from the spies that the Crown Prince seems to want to take this opportunity to sneak attack on the Dalai Lama." Prince, I have already led people to rush there, the Third Highness thinks this is an opportunity, so I want to..."
"He still wants to kill two birds with one stone?!" Pei Jin was so pissed off, if it was such an easy thing, someone would have done it long ago, and the assassination of the prince last time didn't succeed?Why don't you give up?The current situation of their Pei family is already very bad, so they should act steadily. Now that they are fine, they have been arrested.
Lin Qingyang was also thinking while driving, and he didn't understand why things turned out like this. In fact, the more he got to the end, the more he couldn't figure out the reason. After all, the butterfly effect has already affected too much. Maybe those people's mentality has changed. Naturally, he won't go the old way, the only way now is to meet up with Chu Lishu quickly, and then play by ear.
As he was walking, he heard Mu Huichun complain, "Why does it feel like you're going up all the time?"
Just as Lin Qingyang was about to answer, the system suddenly issued a warning. Lin Qingyang quickly dragged Mu Huichun to squat down to hide.
But after hiding for a long time, no one was seen, the two looked at each other suspiciously, Mu Huichun whispered: "Did you find something?"
Lin Qingyang said awkwardly: "It just feels murderous."
Mu Huichun didn't know martial arts, so he was easily fooled. Hearing what he said, he became vigilant, looked around, and suddenly Mu Huichun moved his nose, "It's poisonous."
"What?" Lin Qingyang asked in confusion, and saw Mu Huichun pointing in one direction. Lin Qingyang followed the trend and looked over, as if he had seen a flash of light. When he took a closer look, he seemed to see a rope and some strange things just before them. Walk up the trees on either side of the front.
Lin Qingyang thought for a while, then stood up and found a big stone and threw it over.
After this throw, there was a few clicks, and various pictures flashed before them, and finally there was a bang, and both of them were dumbfounded.
I saw a long pit on the ground in front of them extending directly to half a meter below their feet, with sharp pillars underneath, and the left and right rows of trees were already filled with short arrows from crossbows. The arrows shot through the trees, and there was a strange light emitting from them, obviously poisonous.
What this trap does... is so frightening.
Mu Huichun pulled Lin Qingyang dumbfounded, and said, "You... felt this murderous aura, it's amazing, we almost died here after thousands of arrows pierced our hearts and turned into meat skewers."
Lin Qingyang also swallowed, wishing to kiss the system without a body.
In this way, they passed all the way, dodging the traps that appeared from time to time one after another, and finally Mu Huichun was no longer amazed, but annoyed, "Are we really going to the military camp? Why are there so many traps?"
"The trap must have been made by bandits. This...indicates that we are approaching the barracks, and we will definitely go down later." Lin Qingyang was at a loss in his mind, why did his arrow keep going up!
The two were tired and stopped, Mu Huichun wanted to walk down to have a look, but suddenly a voice came, it was the sound of a hidden weapon.
Lin Qingyang was shocked, there was a distance between him and Mu Huichun, his alarm was only useful to him, it was Mu Huichun who triggered the mechanism.
Lin Qingyang rushed over to save Mu Huichun, but it was too late, the organ shot dozens of arrows, and Mu Huichun was so frightened that he forgot to hide.
And at this critical moment, suddenly a black shadow stepped on the trunk of a tree and flew over from a distance, directly catching all the arrows in the air.
Immediately, a suspicious male voice sounded.
"Lin Qingyang, why are you here? Wouldn't Chu Lishu ask you to come too? How could he be willing?"
Lin Qingyang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he saw one coming from a distance, and one flying down from above, it was Yue Chen and Huo Luo.
