The prince said that if they dare to move, he will bombard them and raze them to the ground."
"really?"
"Of course it's true. When the prince comes back, if you want to see him, I should be able to take you to see him."
“Is this also available for viewing?”
"We often need to test the power of the cannons, so we fire them every once in a while. You can watch from a distance, but they won't hurt you."
After hearing this explanation, Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Then when your prince comes back, I will go and take a good look."
Sun Er could see that Mrs. Sheng was excited. It was not that he had no right to take Mrs. Sheng to see it, but he just didn't dare.
Mrs. Sheng is of noble status. If something goes wrong because he took her there secretly, even killing him would not be enough to make up for it.
He could only pretend that he didn't notice it and wait until the prince came back to discuss everything.
——
Li Junyan, whom Sun Er was thinking about, was still riding his horse and galloping on the road.
But on the mountain road, they were blocked by a group of bandits.
There were dozens of bandits, each holding a sword and looking fierce.
Under normal circumstances, even if bandits were robbing people, they would basically cover their faces, for fear of being recognized in case of any unexpected situation.
But now none of them had their faces covered.
That means they have made up their minds and will never let Li Junyan and the others leave alive.
Most of the bandits were only after gold, silver, treasures and women, but Li Junyan and his group were all grown men, and they looked not to be trifled with. Apart from their horses, they had no luggage and did not look like they were rich at all.
Even after all this, the bandits still wanted to intercept them. It can only be said that these bandits have impure motives.
They were not doing it for business from the beginning, but for Li Junyan's life.
Li Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Lin Qi and the others, "On the premise of ensuring your own safety, try to keep a few people alive. If you really can't keep them alive, it doesn't matter. Your safety is the most important thing."
Lin Qi's eyes sparkled, "Your Highness, don't worry."
He will definitely catch him alive!
These people actually dared to set their sights on the prince, so we must pry open their mouths and find out who is behind this.
The bandits didn't waste any time talking, probably because they were afraid of any accidents. When they swung their swords, every move was aimed at the vital points.
The sound of weapons clashing echoed continuously, startling the birds in the trees on both sides.
The sound of fighting lasted for half an hour before it stopped.
Li Junyan and his group were all still alive, except for a few guards who were injured, but they were not seriously injured.
And those so-called bandits were all lying on the ground, dead.
After taking action, Li Junyan discovered that they were not real bandits, but should be military personnel.
These people were clearly sent here disguised as bandits to kill him.
After realizing this, Li Junyan no longer wanted to leave anyone alive.
These people came here on orders, and they all kept their mouths shut.
Even if they are caught, they will commit suicide by biting the poison sac in their mouths the moment they are caught.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Lin Qi felt both angry and regretful.
"It's a pity that they all died. It was such a blessing for them."
They actually dared to come and surround and kill the prince. They deserved no death at all. Lin Qi wished he could kill them again.
The only pity is that there is no way to find out from them who sent them.
Li Junyan didn't feel sorry, "The only ones who wanted to kill me were those two."
The prince is already dead, and now the only ones who want to kill him are the emperor and the eldest prince.
These people either obey the emperor or the eldest prince. It doesn't matter which of the two it is.
Lin Qi thought about it for a moment and felt that what Li Junyan said was right. "Your Highness, I have a feeling that this kind of thing must happen more than once. We must be more careful on the rest of the journey."
"Yes. Let's go forward a little and find a suitable place to rest and treat their wounds."
After they chose a suitable place to stop and rest, Sang Jueqian gave them disinfectant, trauma medicine, and gauze.
In fact, Sang Jueqian could have taken out that door and sent all of them directly back to Tingzhou.
But if that were the case, the secret would be exposed to the emperor and the eldest prince.
It will not be so easy to do something secretly using this method in the future.
So if you can avoid exposing it, it’s better not to expose it.
But the journey ahead will inevitably be more difficult.
