Chapter 1471: Unkind Visitors
Sun Bai, Sun Qian and others led the crowd to clean up the scene, bandage and treat the wounds, and they were busy. The ordinary followers also stumbled forward to help, their hands and feet were shaking, and many people couldn't even move, their whole limbs were limp.
None of the other party was left alive.
Sun Bai and others felt very sorry, but there was nothing they could do.
Sun Bai and Sun Qian asked Shao Yunduan to talk aside.
"Sir, although these people are dressed like bandits and have something on their faces, they are definitely not real bandits. Real bandits would never be so measured in their advances and retreats, and their cooperation with each other would never give people such a sense of strictness. Moreover, these people's skills show that they have undergone extremely strict, systematic and long-term training. No bandit can do this. I'm afraid their origins..."
I'm afraid that eighty to ninety percent of them were sent by the princes, and the most suspicious one is naturally the Fourth Prince.
However, without clear evidence, Sun Bai couldn't say anything.
Shao Yunduan nodded and said slowly, "I knew this would happen. Now that they've shown up, I feel more at ease. However, I always feel that they won't give up so easily. You must not let your guard down. Give orders to continue patrolling carefully, but report anything suspicious immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Sun Bai and Sun Qian nodded solemnly.
They shared the same view as Shao Yunduan that this was just the beginning and definitely not the end.
Which of those princes didn't hate the Crown Prince to the core? As long as there was a chance to cut off the Crown Prince's arm, everyone would be very happy.
It is hard to say whether only the Fourth Prince was involved in this matter or several other princes were involved as well.
As the crown prince, the prince has countless eyes watching him from top to bottom. He is usually careful in his words and actions, and dares not let his reputation be damaged in the slightest. He dares not say a harsh word to his brothers that others may find fault with him, and in this way, the power of his brothers grows bigger and bigger.
They have a lot of people under their command!
Now that the fight has already begun, it is impossible to just let it go.
After about an hour, everyone was finally ready to go.
But after such a long delay and under such road conditions, it is obviously impossible to get out of the black pine forest before dark today.
Everyone became more anxious.
Shao Yunduan remained calm and said calmly, "Let's just walk a little less today and find a suitable place to spend the night after we pass this rocky slope! We are many in number, so as long as we are careful and alert, it will be fine. The complex environment in this forest can actually be a kind of protection for us!"
Seeing that he was calm and composed, everyone felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
Shao Yunduan simply got on Qiao Xuan's carriage and took Lixia and the other two to his own carriage.
The lady must have been quite frightened, and needs his company and comfort.
The curtain was lowered and the carriage started slowly. Shao Yunduan held Qiao Xuan in his arms and sat her on his lap, speaking softly to comfort her.
Qiao Xuan felt sweet in her heart, a little amused and a little proud, so she had to cooperate with him in acting and show that she was not afraid.
Shao Yunduan saw that her expression was normal and there was no difference, so he gradually calmed down.
The group was on high alert all the way and finally passed the rocky slope. After walking less than three miles forward, they stopped to set up camp.
