Chapter 388 Intercepted
"Miss, why don't you go back to the inn?" Baihu and the others were a little worried.
Lu Tong said, "If Ning didn't buy enough, then we can accompany her shopping. We have been shopping here for a long time and there is nothing to do."
"It's okay, you can take the things back first, or you can let them take them back and you can stay." Fu Zhaoning said.
Baihu thought about her abilities, and also about the long journey back and forth, all the way through the mountains. It was rare to have such a prosperous town for her to take a good walk and relax. It was indeed rare.
He nodded, handed the things to the other guards, asked them to go back to the inn first, and he and Lu Tong and Zheng Yang would accompany Fu Zhaoning for a walk.
"I heard there's a shop selling Eight Treasures Cake nearby," Lu Tong said to Fu Zhaoning. "It's very famous. The Eight Treasures Cake made by the imperial chef is not as delicious as theirs. Moreover, the fruits they use here are sweeter, and the taste and texture are different. Many people travel half a day just to buy it."
"Eight Treasures Cake? My grandfather would like it. Where is it? Let's go and have a look."
Fu Zhaoning became interested.
In fact, she didn't want to go back to the inn to face Xiao Lanyuan yet, and now she didn't know what to say to Xiao Lanyuan.
It’s best to eat outside before going back, take a shower and go to bed, so you don’t have to stare at him.
"I'll go ask for directions." Lu Tong went to ask for directions excitedly.
Speaking of the Eight Treasures Cake from Qingyao Town, someone must know it.
Sure enough, he soon asked for directions and came over to show Fu Zhaoning the way. "Brother Ning, go around the alley in front. He said you will see a bluestone road. Walk there and turn right and you will see it."
They walked into the alley.
As soon as he entered, Baihu felt something was wrong.
It was very lively outside with people coming and going, but when turning into this alley, it was suddenly much quieter. The alley was deep and there were trees planted on the side. The trees were tall and lush, which seemed quite suitable for an ambush.
"Miss.."
Baihu wanted to remind Fu Zhaoning, but Fu Zhaoning had already stopped.
Lu Tong didn't notice anything and continued walking forward while talking to Fu Zhaoning.
"Brother Ning, you should not leave this time when you return to Beijing."
"Lu Tong." Fu Zhaoning called him, and Zheng Yang followed her and stopped.
"I would also like to ask you to help my mother. She feels uncomfortable every summer."
"I'm calling you, Lu Tong!" Although Zheng Yang didn't know why Fu Zhaoning stopped, he immediately followed and called out to Lu Tong.
Lu Tong then realized something was wrong and stopped and looked back, "Ah? Why aren't you leaving?"
At this moment, a hidden weapon suddenly shot out from the tree in front and went straight for his heart.
"careful!"
Fu Zhaoning shouted immediately.
Lu Tong's face changed and he leaned back quickly to avoid the hidden weapon.
Baihu had already drawn his sword and knocked the hidden weapon away.
"Miss, let's get out of the alley quickly."
He turned around and saw several people walking in from the alley.
The expressions of those people paused, as if they were a little surprised by the situation.
They didn't set up an ambush in advance, they just followed here and were ready to take action here. Who knew that someone had already set up an ambush here?
There were some movements in the tree ahead, but the person ambushing in the tree might have noticed the person following them, so he did not come down from the tree for a while, but stayed still for the time being.
As a result, Fu Zhaoning and his companions were stopped in the middle of the alley. The people in front were on the tree, and the people at the back entrance of the alley were approaching.
Lu Tong had already retreated to Fu Zhaoning's side.
His expression changed.
"Brother Ning, we really don't know what's going on."
Zheng Yang looked strange.
Because they were the ones who suggested Fu Zhaoning to come here to buy the Eight Treasures Cake, but it turned out that there was an ambush here!
If Fu Zhaoning suspected that they were colluding with others and ambushing her here, both of them would have a hard time explaining themselves!
Fu Zhaoning listened attentively to the noise, but remained calm.
"The person in the tree is most likely coming for you two."
"What?"
Lu Tong and Zheng Yang looked at each other.
What is there about them that is worthy of an ambush?
"Don't forget that there were people who wanted to kill you when you were on Chaoyun Mountain."
That’s true!
Lu Tong and Zheng Yang's expressions changed. "Then Brother Ning, ignore us and leave first."
Now there is only one person beside Fu Zhaoning, and the other party doesn't know how many people there are in total. It's dangerous. They can't let her get involved.
"But these people coming from behind seemed to be coming for me, so I couldn't leave."
Fu Zhaoning looked at the people at the alley who had blocked their retreat. When these people came, their eyes were fixed on her and they did not look at Lu Tong and the others, so she judged that these people were coming for her.
In other words, there are three parties in this alley now, including them.
If she could get them to fight.
But she quickly shook off the idea. The other party had different goals, so it was unlikely that they would fight. Instead, they were more likely to cooperate first.
"Friends in front, our target is this woman." The person at the entrance of the alley shouted first.
They seemed to understand the current situation.
The man in the tree said nothing.
They all drew their swords and rushed towards Fu Zhaoning.
Baihu stood in front of Fu Zhaoning with an expressionless face.
There are six people in total on the other side, he may be able to deal with them.
"Miss, find a chance to leave." He lowered his voice and said to Fu Zhaoning.
Lu Tong and Zheng Yang were both very upset. They had checked into the inn before coming out to look for food, so they didn't bring any weapons with them.
The two of them just came out to hang out like they did in Beijing, planning on eating out along the long street.
Who would have thought that there are still people who want to kill them!
Now they wished they had not met Fu Zhaoning before, so that she would not be implicated.
"Brother Ning, let's rush over first and lead those people away!"
Lu Tong gave Zheng Yang a look as he spoke, and the two of them prepared to rush out of the alley first, at least to lure away the killers in the tree.
"stop."
Fu Zhaoning shouted at them coldly.
The other party may not chase after you directly!
Because it's a busy street outside, it's not easy to take action.
At this moment, the people at the entrance of the alley had already moved, and they quickly rushed towards the white tiger.
Just as Baihu swung his sword to prepare to meet the enemy, the other side suddenly threw a few objects in front of them. With a few bangs, thick smoke came out, instantly blinding their vision.
"Poisonous smoke!" Lu Tong shouted.
They took a few steps back, and several hidden weapons whizzed towards them from the trees behind them.
"mean!"
"They actually want to join forces?"
This is to force them into the middle. The other party wants to kill people anyway, so they can kill them in the chaos.
"Swallow it!"
In the thick smoke, Lu Tong and Zheng Yang simultaneously received the pills that Fu Zhaoning stuffed over to them.
Without hesitation, they stuffed the pills into their mouths.
Anyway, it’s always right to listen to Brother Ning.
Fu Zhaoning also threw a few things at the tree.
They also heard a few popping sounds and liquid spurting out.
Someone in the tree screamed and then fell down with a bang.
