“Bold!”
Following the voices of the bandits, Chu Zhiyao's stern shouts were heard from the front of the carriage.
"You even dared to rob the royal carriage! You must be tired of living!"
"The grandpas are robbing your royal carriage! Pah!"
The leader of the bandits outside spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, his tone was hard to hide his pride.
"I've heard that a distinguished person would come along this road, but I didn't expect it to be such a big shot!"
After he finished speaking, there were bursts of footsteps coming from the cliff, mixed with the sounds of swords clashing. By the time Chu Zhiyao reacted, they had been surrounded!
Because nothing had happened in the past when they went to Luofo Temple, everything was kept simple this time, and the guards only brought 800 elite soldiers.
The dense crowd of heads on the cliff looked at the exquisite carriages below with grim smiles. In their eyes, these carriages seemed to have become lambs to be slaughtered.
War is about to break out!
Someone roared, and the battle between the two sides began! The ground even shook from the sound of footsteps!
The debris from the cliff kept falling and hitting the roof of the carriage, making dull sounds one after another.
Gu Qingsheng exhaled and closed his eyes slightly.
These bandits are huge in number and have been ruling the mountain for a long time. However, the prefect of the nearby city did nothing and embezzled all the official silver distributed from the national treasury to suppress the bandits.
The lack of governance and jurisdiction has allowed these bandits to become more rampant, and they even have spies in the capital.
The bandits knew exactly how many troops the queen brought with her when she left the city this time, and they had taken complete countermeasures.
For example, there are exactly 2,500 people on this cliff.
Two thousand five hundred people against eight hundred people.
The ending is self-evident.
Later, the prefect arrived with his troops in time and the matter was put to rest.
In the previous life, the emperor was furious when he learned about this and ordered the suppression of the bandits.
Chu Zhiyao personally led his troops back and fought back, which completely resolved the matter.
It is said that the money seized from the bandits' lair was so great that even the emperor frowned, and it greatly enriched the national treasury.
She was lost in thought and had no idea that Xu Qingyi had been looking at her indifferently for a long time.
The gaze was gentle but inquiring, as if trying to see something else through Gu Qingsheng's thin body.
Outside, there were sounds of swords and screams, as well as faint cries.
It's like two different worlds.
There was that faint fragrance again, and a very thin incense stick was inserted in the small incense burner.
"The princess is truly brave. She remains so calm in the face of adversity. It makes me feel ashamed of myself."
Xu Qingyi's voice finally became clear and brought her back to her senses. Gu Qingsheng focused his gaze, opened his eyes, and a hint of nervousness flashed across his face when he looked at Xu Qingyi.
Oh no.
I have been thinking about my past life for a long time and have forgotten about this old fox. I hope he doesn't suspect anything.
"I am afraid."
Gu Qingsheng solemnly clenched his fists and placed them on his legs, his eyes looking very serious.
"However, because I have the Imperial Master protecting me, I am not as panicked as the others. The Imperial Master is very powerful, and I will definitely not be harmed."
"Don't tell lies without thinking..."
A female voice muttered to herself from somewhere, and Xu Yanqing subconsciously covered his chest with his hands.
Gu Qingsheng became suspicious. In this noisy environment, he didn't know if he had heard it wrong.
"Someone was talking just now, wasn't he?"
"The princess is hallucinating."
Xu Qingyi replied.
It was just a matter of a moment, so Gu Qingsheng didn't care about it anymore, and his eyes were fixed on the queen's carriage in front of him.
Bai Lu hid very timidly, but still hid her entire figure behind the curtain. In the rain of swords and blood, even though her body was shaking with fear, her brows were still alert and her whole body was tense.
A drop of blood was brought out from somewhere, and with a swish sound it landed beside Bai Lu, soaking the curtain, turning it blood red at first glance.
Frightened, Bai Lu trembled again, her voice trembling, but she leaned against the curtain.
"Princess...don't, don't be afraid."
Rumors are one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
The scene was so bloody that even Gu Qingsheng took a while to accept it. It was a pity that Xu Qingyi was inside, otherwise poor Bai Lu could have come in and hidden.
"Um, Master Imperial Master, aren't you going out to help them?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Qingsheng spoke.
Go out and fight quickly so Bai Lu can come in!
Xu Qingyi drank a sip of tea quietly, not caring at all
"Don't worry, this calamity will be resolved. Reinforcements will arrive within three minutes."
"General Chu is brave and diligent, so he can certainly hold out until that time. I have already purified myself when I leave the city, and staining myself with blood is a great disrespect to the Buddha."
Ojo.
Gu Qingsheng gritted his teeth.
You old charlatan!
You are worthy of it!
There were many rumors about this trip, but it was Gu Qingsheng's first time participating, so he didn't know the exact time when the queen was robbed.
You can only observe the trends at all times.
Weiwei lifted a curtain with her hand, intending to see what was happening on the Queen's side, but in an instant a figure flashed before her eyes!
The elite soldiers were provoked by three or two bandits and thrown directly onto the queen's carriage and pierced through the heart by a long sword!
The long sword also penetrated through the carriage at once!
A muffled sound came from inside! The Queen's scream suddenly resounded throughout the cliff!
"Madam!"
Chu Zhiyao shouted to the carriage! However, he was surrounded by several people at the same time and could not get away at all.
Soon, the queen fled out of the car in a panic, holding her injured arm. However, the moment she got out of the car, the leading bandit grabbed her neck.
“Bold!”
"Shut up, everyone!!!"
As soon as the leader spoke, the battlefield really quieted down.
The queen was captured alive, and the remaining elite soldiers did not dare to act recklessly.
The bandits were greatly invigorated by the alert response of the elite soldiers.
"It seems that the person I captured is indeed the Queen of Jinchu?"
The leader poked the queen's face with the tip of the knife in his hand, and his smile became more obscene.
"Looks like it, you're all so nervous, this must be the Queen..."
After saying that, he licked his dry lips with his tongue.
Imprisoned and with her arm injured, the Queen dared not move an inch. However, she could not help but feel sick after hearing these words. She cursed tremblingly.
"You are so bold..."
"So what if I'm bold."
The leader held her tighter, the blade on the queen's neck.
"Don't waste any more time talking nonsense. We brothers don't ask for much. Just hand over all the valuables in the car to us."
"None of us bandits have wives. The queen can be released, and all you men can go. However, the remaining women must stay and become our wives!"
"These two requests are not too much, right?"
