Chapter 1509: Encountering an Ambush on the Road
At noon that day, when the group walked into Fengshan Forest, they were ambushed.
Luo Lu has been feeling frightened these past two days and has been extremely sensitive to everything around him, so when Lian Yi didn't ride a horse for the whole day, he came over to ask the reason.
After making sure that Anping was fine, Luo Lu led his men to check the team again. When they were about to go to the head of the team, a sound of breaking air was heard in the air, and then someone screamed.
"Protect the princess!"
Fulin's sharp voice spread far away, and Dagan's personal guards immediately moved towards Lianyi's carriage, while Liu Xuan, who was responsible for escorting Lianyi, immediately drew his sword and blocked the arrows flying towards them.
Lianyi in the car was very calm at this time. Yuejue and Yuelang both clenched the daggers in their hands and stood in front of Lianyi.
Lianyi didn't stick her head out to look curiously, but Duoduo had already been hanging on the car curtain, watching the two gangs fighting around them and broadcasting the situation live to Lianyi.
Many masked men in black rushed out of the woods, brandishing their knives at anyone they saw, not even sparing horses. Several horses were frightened by this, and then they rushed into the woods, pulling the boxes containing the dowry, disrupting the entire team.
Luo Lu was surrounded by his own guards at this time. His face was a little distorted. Looking at the skills of the man in black, he had a rough guess. Although the other party used powerful weapons to cover up his crime, his moves could not be concealed.
"How dare they?"
Luo Lu gritted his teeth.
"Prince, we will escort you to Princess Anping's carriage. She has many guards around her, and she is not the main target, so she should be able to hold out for a while, making it easier for us to capture these people."
Luo Tang, the captain of Luo Lu's personal guard, immediately spoke to Luo Lu.
"Walk!"
Luo Lu didn't act pretentiously. After all, the two of them were already husband and wife, and it was polite for them to ride in the same carriage, so he immediately turned his horse around and galloped towards the back where the Ripple carriage was.
"Master, that Luolu is planning to come to your place to avoid being ambushed."
Duoduo immediately said with disdain.
"No problem, let him come, this way he can be credited for saving my life."
Yuejue and Yuelang also heard the sound of horse hooves. After lifting the carriage curtain to take a look, they told Lianyi about the situation.
"Yuejue, ask Liu Xuan to bring people to welcome Prince Luolu. We cannot let him die in Dagan."
"Yes, Princess."
Yue Jue understood Lian Yi's meaning, and immediately said something to Liu Xuan who was guarding outside to block the rain of arrows. The other party nodded in agreement, and then pointed out ten people to go and greet Luo Lu.
The personal guards around Luo Lu were still quite capable. Although they suffered many casualties, they finally sent Luo Lu to Lianyi's carriage. Without any worries, they rushed directly into the mountains and forests to avenge their dead brothers.
Liu Xuan reported outside the carriage:
"Your Highness, Prince Luolu is here."
"Please get in the carriage, Prince."
After Yue Jue lifted a corner of the curtain, Luo Lu bent down and got into the carriage.
Lianyi looked at Luolu, whose face was still covered in blood, and pretended to be worried and said:
"Prince Luolu, the attack today was definitely not caused by the Dagan Kingdom. I will send Liu Xuan to intercept these people and give Prince Luolu an explanation."
Luo Lu had already caught his breath, and he immediately bowed and said:
"Princess, you have a good intention. I definitely believe in you. If the Dagan Kingdom wanted to take action, they would not wait until now, and they would not choose this place. There must be someone else who attacked us."
"Prince, do you already have a suspect?"
"I have some guesses in my mind, but I need my men to catch the person to confirm them."
Luo Lu didn't play tricks and said it directly.
"Okay, let's wait and see."
At this time, the sound of swords clashing outside the carriage had become smaller, and the attack was coming to an end.
Lian Yi said to the two people around him:
"Yue Lang, make us a pot of tea to calm us down."
"Yes, Princess."
After Yue Lang had made a pot of tea, Luo Lu's personal guards also came back and captured a man alive. The man was tied up and a dirty handkerchief was stuffed in his mouth.
"Prince, catch someone alive."
The guard reported outside the carriage.
"Let's have a thorough investigation. I want to know who ordered them."
Luo Lu said through gritted teeth.
"yes!"
Lian Yi said at the right time:
"I asked Captain Liu to assist."
"good!"
Luo Lu did not refuse. After all, this was their common enemy, and Lianyi had the right to know who did it.
"Fulin."
"The servant is here."
"Go and count the number of people and the dowry to see if our losses are serious and whether we can continue to move forward."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Fulin turned around and went to find Liu Xuan's men, gathered the wedding procession together as quickly as possible, counted the number of people and the finances, and then reported to Lianyi.
At this time, Luo Lu was still on Lianyi's carriage. Lianyi signaled Fulin to speak directly and had no intention of avoiding Luo Lu.
Fulin immediately told the whole story:
"Your Highness, fifteen people died in the wedding procession, more than thirty were injured, and seventeen were seriously injured. Apart from arrow wounds, the others were injured by horses in panic. The rest had some scratches that did not affect their movements.
However, some of the princess's dowry was lost. The box of gold was missing. It was not known whether the other party took it away during the chaos or someone else did something wrong.
The jewelry was knocked over and is being counted. It is estimated that some of it is lost, but the cloth is not lost. The two carriages carrying grain were startled and ran into the forest. Guard Liu has sent people to look for them. If they can be found, the loss will be less."
Lian Yi's wedding procession and guards totaled about 500 people. Overall, the loss was not serious, but the box of gold was lost in a strange way, so Lian Yi's face was not very good. However, because Luo Lu was beside her, she did not show it and gave the order in a deep voice:
"Fulin, arrange for people to treat the wounded, bury the dead on the spot, give each person thirty taels of silver as compensation, and give it to their families. Send the seriously injured to the nearest city to recover, and catch up with the team after they have recovered.
After the wounds of the lightly injured are treated, they will gather my dowry and be ready to leave at any time."
"Yes, Princess."
Fulin received the order and went down.
At this time, Liu Xuan and Luo Lu's guard captains came to see their master together, but both of them looked a little bad.
"Luo Tang, what did you find out?"
Luo Lu asked the question first.
"Prince, the people who attacked us were wearing Dagan's clothes and using Dagan's weapons, but I found Luo Pan's totem on them."
Liu Xuan waited for Luo Tang to finish speaking before he bowed to Lian Yi and said:
"Princess, the people who attacked this time do not belong to any of the Da Gan forces. Although they wore Da Gan's clothes and used Da Gan's weapons, I can tell from their moves that they are assassins raised by the dignitaries of the Luo Pan Kingdom, and their target should be Prince Luo Lu."
After hearing this, Lianyi glanced at Luo Lu, whose face was gloomy, and asked in a low voice:
"Did the person you captured confess to this?"
"Yes, we used some means to pry open his mouth."
Liu Xuan said immediately.
"Rolu."
Lianyi hesitated to speak.
"Your Highness, leave the rest to me. I will give you an explanation."
See you tomorrow, my dears~~
