Three days later.

Mo Yanchen got a batch of jade, but because it could not be transported by sea, he decided to transport it by land to Zibo City for trading.

For this purpose, Mo Yanchen was personally responsible for escorting this batch of extremely valuable jade.

After a secret investigation, Chi Rui set up an ambush in Butterfly Valley, which was the only way to get there.

In Butterfly Valley, Chi Rui carefully set up a trap.

Hidden stakes and tripwires were set up in the narrow part of the canyon, and archers were arranged to ambush on the phosphorus rocks on both sides. The archers held their breath and waited for orders.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Mo Yanchen to take the bait.

Following Chi Rui were people from the Mu Yuan faction.

Military Marquis Cheng Huafeng was getting a little impatient waiting. He frowned and cautiously walked over to Chi Rui, asking anxiously, "Master Su, we've been waiting here for two days. Will Mo Yanchen really leave here?"

Chi Rui's sharp eyes revealed a hint of certainty as he stared forward with a determined gaze. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Jun Hou. This Butterfly Valley is the only way from Weicheng to Zicheng. It's the only place with the best terrain, easy to attack but difficult to defend. This time, we will definitely be able to recapture the jade and severely damage the Canglan Gang."

When the military marquis was about to say something, Qianyu looked nervous, pointed to the east, and whispered, "Sir, they are coming."

Cheng Huafeng immediately became alert, bit his lip, made a "prepare all troops" gesture to everyone, and then stared at the convoy below the canyon.

Mo Yanchen brought a team of elite members of the Canglan Gang and slowly drove over with supplies.

He looked around vigilantly with a frown on his face, knowing that this Butterfly Valley was the most dangerous place.

However, Chi Rui, who has fought for many years, is a young general who is both brave and wise on the battlefield.

He is very skilled in setting ambushes.

Mo Yanchen had insufficient experience in land combat and could not detect it at all.

When the convoy entered the ambush circle, Chi Rui's eyes became stern. With a command, hidden stakes rose up and stones fell one after another.

The horses in the caravan were startled. They raised their heads and neighed loudly, struggling to escape, but they could not break free from the reins.

Mo Yanchen's face under the silver mask instantly became gloomy, and his lips were tightly pursed.

He immediately realized that he had been ambushed.

He quickly drew the long sword from his waist and shouted at his men to stay calm and prepare for battle, his eyes full of determination.

At this moment, the archers behind the phosphorus stone fired thousands of arrows, and the rain of arrows shot towards the caravan like locusts.

The Canglan Gang members were thrown into chaos, and they all looked for cover in fear.

Mo Yanchen waved his long sword and blocked the arrows shot at him one by one. His eyes were as sharp as torches, trying to find the leader of the ambushers.

Seeing this, Chi Rui flew out from behind the stone, holding a long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Mo Yanchen with a figure as fast as a swallow.

Mo Yanchen sneered: "You are such a coward, yet you dare to rob my convoy? Let me see how capable you are." After saying that, he walked forward with a knife in his hand, his steps steady and powerful.

The two men fought in the air for several rounds, with swords flashing and shadows flashing, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Chi Rui's swordsmanship is sharp and varied, his eyes are sharp, and his moves are ruthless.

Mo Yanchen's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering. He roared and fought back with all his might. For a while, the fight was evenly matched.

However, Chi Rui was well prepared. He deliberately exposed a flaw. Mo Yanchen didn't know it was a trick, so he suddenly chopped with his knife, with a hint of pride on his face.

Chi Rui dodged it easily with a flash of his body, and at the same time stabbed Mo Yanchen's chest with a sword in his backhand, with a sly smile on his lips.

Mo Yanchen was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword, and blood immediately dyed his chest red.

His eyes widened and he couldn't help but look at Chi Rui.

He didn't expect to meet such a strong enemy, and his eyes were full of regret and unwillingness.

One was wearing a fine iron mask.

One wore a silver mask.

Two men faced each other in the narrow corner of Butterfly Valley.

"Who are you?" Mo Yanchen asked, panting, his chest heaving violently.

"Su Rui from the Weicheng County Magistrate's Mansion." Chi Rui introduced himself in a steady and powerful voice, his eyes full of confidence in victory.

Mo Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression complicated.

I never thought that the government could find such a person with great martial arts skills.
