Chapter 424 The Most Familiar Stranger
Steward Ding was already waiting for them on horseback, ready to lead the team.
"Ding Fu greets Lord Zhu!"
"It turns out to be Steward Ding. I have too many people here, I'm afraid I'll disturb the prince!"
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? The official road is not easy to travel on right now. If I let you leave, my prince will definitely not forgive me. However, our manor is also very simple, so please forgive me."
"Butler Ding, that's not true."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time.
Zhu Mingbo did not say who was in the following cars, as he wanted to wait until they arrived at the manor to tell him. Otherwise, he would have to spend a long time to perform the formalities.
After Ding Fu finished his polite greetings, he hurriedly led his men towards the manor.
The road leading to the villa is a bit narrow, and Feng Aoqing's big carriage can just pass through.
The road was narrow, so the line was long.
I didn’t expect the forests on both sides of the road to be quite dense, so the rain seemed to be lighter after I came in, but the sky was already very dark, just like night.
The rain had already disturbed the masters' five senses, and they only reacted when they heard the whistling of arrows.
An arrow stuck in Ding Fu's horse.
No one in the team spoke, but they all started to move.
Arrows were still shot out from the forest, and the target seemed to be very focused, which was the largest carriage in which Feng Aoqing was sitting.
Feng Aoqing only heard the sound of the carriage "bang" and she instinctively shrank to the ground.
There are things placed in the three seats, so as long as you lie down, you will not be shot.
If I run out, I will definitely turn into a hedgehog. It’s safer in the car.
Someone fell on the roof of the car. I don’t know who it was. If he didn’t jump down, he must be one of us.
Feng Aoqing analyzed calmly.
"Jin Ge!" she called.
"Lie down and don't move!" An Jinge's voice came from the roof of the car.
It was indeed An Jin Ge.
"Ball! Throw it into the woods, it will work!" Feng Aoqing suggested.
Judging from the direction the arrow fell, it came from the woods on the left and right. That would be easy to deal with. There was not much rain in the dense forest, so the poison could have a certain effect.
"Si Yan!" An Jin Ge shouted.
The two men looked at each other, one heading east and the other west, and rushed into the forest under a rain of arrows. They jumped between the trees and threw all the balls they were carrying into the forest.
After a while, poisonous smoke rose from the forest.
Not to mention those far away, even those nearby couldn't escape and fell from the trees one after another.
Those who were far away could only get down from the tree because they couldn’t see the target clearly.
They thought that covering their mouths and noses would be enough, but they didn't know that Feng Aoqing's medicine would have the same effect if it got on the skin. The people in the front were poisoned, and only then did those behind realize that there was a problem.
"Just charge! I'll give you all the antidote in the morning!" Feng Aoqing shouted in the car.
During the time when the arrow stopped, Feng Aoqing's car door was pushed open and Yu Tingfeng got in.
He asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
"No, come, it's safe." Feng Aoqing moved his body and patted the empty space beside him.
Yu Tingfeng also knew that it would be safer for the two of them to stay in the car. Now that there were people surrounding the car, he sat in.
"Lie down! If you sit so high up, I'll shoot you in the head with one arrow!"
"oh!"
Yu Tingfeng lay down beside her.
"If we go out, we will only make things worse. Just stay here and be good!" Feng Aoqing whispered.
"That's you! That's not me."
"I know you are capable, but once you go out, they will definitely panic. They will not think about dealing with the enemy, but about protecting you, so you will only make things worse if you go out!" Feng Aoqing said seriously.
Yu Tingfeng glanced at her sideways. To be honest, this place was just big enough for two people to lie down, so they huddled together.
"Are you feeding us medicine again?" Yu Tingfeng asked. She heard Feng Aoqing's voice just now.
"Feed them every day! Just in case!" Feng Aoqing replied nonchalantly, "There are a lot of snakes this season."
"I believed your nonsense!" Yu Tingfeng cursed with a smile, imitating Feng Aoqing's words.
The sound of swords and knives was getting closer, and it seemed that someone was rushing over.
Yan Xiao said coldly: "Ruxuan, don't move!"
Ruxuan agreed, but still couldn't help but open the car window a crack.
The scene before her scared her. The people she was familiar with now had completely different faces.
Siyan and Anjin Ge were holding long swords and slashing.
Yan Xiao, whom she was most familiar with, bowed his hands slightly, holding a short knife in both hands, his eyes full of murderous intent.
He was just observing, like a wolf observing its prey, and then he leaped up as lightly as a bird, landed in front of the prey, and took the prey's life with one, or at most two, cuts.
He was even more efficient than Siyan and An Jinge, leaving no one alive wherever he went.
She heard Siyan giggling, as if this was something that made her happy.
She saw An Jinge cut off the opponent's arm with a sword, and the opponent immediately let out a horrifying scream, but she only let the opponent scream that one time, and then she cut off the opponent's head with another sword.
"The sword given by the general is indeed good." She said to Siyan.
It was like hell outside. Ruxuan trembled and slammed the window shut.
Soon, the battle ended as support arrived from the direction of the manor.
"My lord, it's Prince Wenrui's men who are here to help." Yu Mingchang came to the door to report.
Yu Tingfeng was about to get off the car, and Feng Aoqing wanted to follow, but was stopped by him.
"Just get in the car and we'll let you get off when it's safe."
Feng Aoqing shrank back, and soon the convoy started moving.
She called An Jinge and Siyan into the car through the window, and asked Yan Xiao to drive their car.
Yan Xiao knew that Feng Aoqing wanted to talk to them, so he took the hand of the original coachman.
Feng Aoqing asked the three people and was relieved when she found out that no one was injured.
"What's going on with those people?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"He's trained, like a soldier. I just checked one, and there's no mark on his body, so I can't tell anything." An Jinge replied.
"Is it aimed at our master? There are the most arrows on this carriage." Siyan asked worriedly.
"He is not from Zhaojing. Judging from his stature and build, he should be from Yuanwu." Yan Xiao replied.
"It's not directed at me. Think about it, who is this car originally for?" Feng Aoqing looked at everyone.
Everyone suddenly realized that the target was Yu Tingfeng.
"You still say you haven't offended anyone." Feng Aoqing curled her lips.
"It seems they are still planning to go to Prince Wenrui's manor." Yan Xiao was driving and saw that they did not turn around in a spacious place.
"Just go! It definitely wasn't done by Prince Wenrui. I know that. He wouldn't do things at his doorstep." Siyan replied.
"Sister Siyan is right." Yan Xiao agreed.
The road became wider and wider, and further on it was a stone road, all the way to the gate of the manor.
"This Prince Wenrui is quite strange! He doesn't live in the royal palace in the capital, but chooses to live in such a deep mountain forest. How inconvenient!" Siyan sighed after getting out of the car.
"You don't know this. This is what we call smart. You may not be able to live long in the capital, but you can definitely live here." An Jinge understood.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw people kneeling in the room.
Feng Aoqing stared at Prince Wen Rui and frowned slightly.
