A figure immediately emerged from the shadows in the darkness and swiftly rushed towards the two.
Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian didn't move, but their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were stunned.
Just as the curved knife in Tuva's hand and the hidden weapons in the hands of the people behind him were about to fall on Jiang Yimian and the other person.
The two were so frightened that they stumbled and fell.
Wang San and Liu'er rushed forward, one of them using a broadsword to parry the opponent's curved blade, while the other reached out and grabbed at the area behind them.
The two moved extremely fast, leaving Tuva and the shadowy figure unable to dodge for a moment.
In the few moments of dodging, there were two screams and a loud thud as a heavy object hit the ground.
Tuva was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a tall tree not far away, only causing many birds to fly away and leaves to fall.
As for the dark figure, he was pinned to the ground by Liu'er and unable to move, while the hidden weapons in his hand fell all over the ground.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yimian seemed frightened and immediately hid behind Lu Cijian, saying in a somewhat terrified tone, "Husband, let's not go, okay? I'm scared."
The beautiful woman hid in the young man's arms with a look of terror in her eyes, as if she had really seen something terrible.
Lu Cijian quickly comforted the person in his arms, but his whole body exuded a cold aura. "Since Young Master Xie is not sincere in wanting to cooperate, then I don't think there's any need to meet again."
"Butler, go, turn around, let's go back."
After saying that, he was about to take the person in his arms and walk towards the boat.
Lin Yan'an immediately began to direct the people on the ship.
Seeing that those people were actually moving the sails, Flying Eagle quickly said, "Young Master Zhou, you misunderstand. We are just worried that others will find out about this transaction, so we want to inspect the goods."
Since you are unwilling, young master, let's wait until we reach our destination to discuss it further.
"Young Master Xie genuinely wants to cooperate with you. Young Master Zhou should understand Young Master Xie's sincerity. He invited Young Master Zhou to this meeting not only for his own benefit, but also to lend Young Master Zhou a hand."
Seeing that Lu Cijian stopped and did not continue walking towards the ship, Feiying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued, "It may be difficult for your business to take it to the next level."
Partnering with Young Master Xie would be a good choice for you as well.
The Zhou family's reputation in the Great Jin Dynasty is ruined. It is clearly impossible for you to regain your footing in the Great Jin Dynasty.
Young Master Zhou is so intelligent, he must understand.
Lu Cijian only frowned slightly without saying anything, but he did not refuse.
Flying Eagle simply smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, rest assured, my young master is sincerely interested in cooperating."
However, to prove his identity, please have Young Master Zhou bring out Mr. Xie's letter so we can verify its authenticity.
Based on his observations, these people were not imposters.
The prince said that this young master Zhou's mind was entirely focused on gunpowder and he knew nothing about martial arts; his wife must be about the same.
When they were ambushed, both of them were clearly frightened. Their instinctive attempts to dodge were completely haphazard. If it weren't for the experience of the two servants, they would have been dead without a doubt.
It seems to be the person in question.
Subconscious actions don't lie.
If the government of the Great Jin Dynasty had indeed discovered something amiss, even if they wanted to find someone to impersonate them, it wouldn't be two ordinary people who knew nothing about martial arts.
That would be too dangerous; they wouldn't take that risk.
Moreover, he didn't believe that the government officials could easily track down the Zhou family's ships. The route taken by these people was specially chosen by the prince, so they would basically not encounter the sea patrol team.
Even if they do encounter them, those people would have little idea what they're up to, and would probably just give them a quick look before letting them pass.
Surely the Zhou family wouldn't intentionally expose themselves.
It seems that the prince's speculations were unfounded.
However, those two attendants were quite skilled; both the man and the woman knew some martial arts.
It seems even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!
After all, it was the Zhou family, which was once extremely powerful in the capital, so it's not too surprising that they had some formidable guards.
They could rest assured that the Zhou family's ships had encountered no problems at sea.
Upon hearing this, Lu Cijian merely snorted coldly and remained silent for a while before saying to Lin Yan'an beside him, "Give Young Master Xie his letter."
Lin Yan'an only looked warily at the people opposite him, took the envelope out of his pocket, and threw it directly at Flying Eagle.
Flying Eagle took the letter, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was left by one of their people, said, "Please come with us, Young Master Zhou and Madam Zhou. The rest of the journey will require a carriage ride."
Lu Cijian immediately frowned, looked at the person in his arms, and only reluctantly agreed when the other party nodded, "My wife is not well, so you should drive the carriage slowly."
Also, those gunpowders must be guarded by my men; otherwise, if they explode on the road, I'm afraid you'll all be blown to bits on the spot.”
After saying that, without even looking at the expressions of the others, he put his arm around Jiang Yimian and followed a man from Xiliang toward the bushes in the distance.
Seeing this, Liu'er quickly followed.
Lin Yan'an and the others called out to the people on the ship and carefully carried boxes of things. When they noticed that many people were looking over, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
These are all special things he prepared for these people.
Flying Eagle stared at Lu Cijian and his companion until they disappeared into the bushes before turning his gaze away.
His gaze fell on the boxes of gunpowder being carried out, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Great! They were finally confident that they could take down Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.
Once we take down Tuyuhun, the next target will be the Great Jin.
The prince can finally take his revenge.
Seeing this, Tuva was also filled with excitement. Although he was a little annoyed by the beating he had just received, he couldn't help but be happy to see all the boxes of gunpowder.
Xie Yang finally did something good for their Xiliang.
With this gunpowder, both Tuyuhun and the Great Jin Dynasty are doomed to be blown to rubble.
He had seen some of Xie Yang's gunpowder, and its power was far greater than that of the gunpowder on the market. Although it was not enough to easily blow up the city wall, as long as there was enough, it would definitely work.
Not to mention, these hundreds of boxes of gunpowder were made with increased power.
Xiliang is saved.
As if struck by a sudden thought, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Rather than letting Xie Yang control this Zhou fellow, it's better to let the Xiliang people take charge.
When he gets back, he will definitely try to find out the Khan's opinion.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian were unaware of what the two were thinking.
The two had already boarded the carriage prepared by the Xiliang people.
Liu'er observed the surroundings from outside, secretly memorizing the faces of the Xiliang and Dajin people.
Listening to the commotion outside the carriage, Jiang Yimian looked at the person beside her and said silently, "There are quite a few people nearby."
She was referring to those who hadn't shown up.
Lu Cijian nodded and silently echoed her words: "Back then, those Xiliang people from Weizhou must have traveled to Weizhou from this island."
The island was truly hidden; if it weren't for the fact that the route in the letter specifically marked the islands they would pass by, and that they were relatively familiar with the sea, they would have been able to pass through at all.
It's probably going to be very difficult to find this place.
Xie Yang's biggest mistake was overestimating Zhou Yiwen and his group.
Just as the two were about to speak again, Liu'er's voice came from outside the carriage.
