After the team set off, Zhao Yiming followed behind and secretly found an opportunity to hide under the carriage, and followed them out of this place.
I also took the opportunity to figure out the routes in and out and their code words.
Just as Chi Wei had guessed before, the entrance here was the wall of the farmhouse's main hall.
However, this passage connecting to the outside world is not a secret passage dug by humans, but a naturally formed one, like a crack between two mountains.
King Wenxuan simply ordered people to build a farm outside and guard the exit, and he easily occupied this secret place.
After the team transporting this group of private soldiers came out of the farmyard, they were targeted by An Yi and others who had received the news in advance.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they followed carefully all the way.
After the team had walked for half an hour and was far enough away from the secret place, Zhao Yiming, who had been hiding under the carriage, finally appeared.
"Who?"
He did not try to hide his whereabouts, and was discovered as soon as he showed up.
It seemed that the guards escorting the weapons did not take Zhao Yiming seriously because they saw that he was alone. Only two people came out to stop Zhao Yiming, and the team continued to move forward. Even Mr. Hu, who was sitting in the front carriage, was not alarmed.
It was not until Zhao Yiming drew the soft sword from his waist, cut the necks of the two men without saying a word, and threw them to the front of the team that the team was stopped.
"What's going on? Why did you stop? Can you afford to delay your trip?"
The driver suddenly stopped the carriage, causing Mr. Hu inside to almost fall out.
After getting up, he directly opened the curtain of the carriage and gave the coachman a big slap from behind without any reason. Only then did he notice the guard lying on the ground in front of him with blood gushing out of his neck.
"Ah...ah...ah...what's going on? What happened? Quick, be alert, be alert..." Mr. Wu was startled and thought he was being attacked.
Amid his panicked screams, Zhao Yiming walked step by step to the front of the team with a bloody soft arrow in his hand.
"Who are you? Stop right there." Mr. Hu looked around quickly and saw that Zhao Yiming was alone. He felt less scared. He controlled his voice, which was still trembling from the fright, and tried his best to look more majestic.
Don't look at him as a paper tiger in his daily life. Especially now that Zhao Yiming killed the two of them without any expression, he realized that Zhao Yiming was different from the ordinary robbers they had encountered before.
"What are you still standing there for? Go ahead!" He gathered his thoughts and shouted harshly.
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how powerful Zhao Yiming was, he was still alone.
Outnumbered, they are sure to win.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yiming did not fight them head-on this time. He took a few steps back and raised his hand. Suddenly, a large group of masked men in black holding long swords rushed out of the forest where there had been no movement just now.
"Quick, defend..." Mr. Hu shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
The other party was obviously well prepared. If they were not careful, they would probably be defeated here tonight.
As the two sides exchanged weapons, Mr. Hu immediately took advantage of the chaos and grabbed a guard beside him, "Quick, go back and get some reinforcements."
The guard received the order, pulled the horse and ran back. They had not gone far, and as long as he ran fast enough, they would be saved when the reinforcements arrived.
Unfortunately, there was no way Zhao Yiming would give him this opportunity.
Just when the guard finally broke out of the encirclement, Mr. Hu thought they were about to succeed.
Zhao Yiming raised his hand nonchalantly and gently pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand.
With a "swoosh", the sharp arrow flew through the wind in the darkness, and the guard who went to report the news suddenly fell straight off his horse.
The horse lost control and stopped after only a few steps.
Seeing that the person he sent for help was gone, Mr. Hu was immediately disheartened.
When I looked back, the battle was nearing its end.
Their men were either dead or wounded, and they were already at the end of their rope. On the other hand, the other side had not even lost a piece of their clothes, and they had already controlled all of their men.
Soon, a sharp arrow was placed across his neck. Mr. Hu was unwilling to die under the knife, so he turned his eyes and tried to incite Zhao Yiming to rebel.
“I don’t know who you are, sir, but you have such ability. Why don’t you come with me to meet my master and serve him?
My master is respectful to the virtuous and humble, and if you go, you will definitely be given an important position."
He is so bold that he dares to pry his master's things in front of him.
An Yi exerted a little force in his hand and pushed the sword forward. Mr. Wu's neck was immediately cut open and blood gushed out.
Feeling the blood flowing from his neck, Mr. Wu suddenly panicked, "Brave man, let's talk it over, let's talk it over!"
"Oh! Since you have something to talk about, then just go to the prison and talk!"
Zhao Yiming finished speaking, then turned to look at An Yidao and said, "Things here haven't been resolved yet. I really can't spare the time, so I'll hand them over to the commander-in-chief to escort them back to the capital.
I have already sent a message to the palace, and I believe someone will come to pick you up soon."
"In that case, An Yi will go ahead. Please take care of yourself, Duke." An Yi bowed to Zhao Yiming.
"You, you are Duke Zhao, Zhao Yiming?" After listening to the conversation between the two, Mr. Hu finally realized who had arrested him, but it was too late.
Jingyu didn't give him a chance to speak. He casually cut his sleeve with his long sword, gagged him, tied him up and threw him into the carriage.
Then he ordered his men to clean up the scene quickly, bury the dead in nearby pits in the woods, and gag the living ones, tie them up with ropes, and take them away together.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they took their carriage and disappeared without a trace with their team.
All the people brought by An Yi followed him to escort the weapons back, and those who stayed behind were Zhao Yiming's secret guards.
They have almost grasped the situation in the secret realm, except for the tomb in the back mountain.
He then divided the team into two teams, one team followed him over the mountain into the secret realm, and the other team stayed outside on standby, waiting for the next instructions.
Zhao Yiming had walked the mountain road once. He asked Zhuyue to deliver a letter to Jingyu in advance. When he led his men to the halfway point of the mountain with ease, Jingyu had already lowered the rope for them from the top of the mountain.
With the help of ropes, the group easily climbed to the top of the mountain. After coming down the mountain, they hid halfway up the mountain to rest and wait for the arrival of night.
