Yelu Boyan really wanted to ask: Have you packed your things?
The team marched forward in a mighty manner. In order to ensure his own safety, Yelu Boyang rode his horse close to Qian Yeming's carriage, fearing that something might happen suddenly.
A ten-mile section of the official road outside Yueyang City passes through a forest.
"There's a forest ahead, perfect for an ambush. Everyone, be careful!" General Yuan's gruff voice came from the front. The captains of each squad immediately relayed the message, and the soldiers perked up, ready to fight off the ambushers.
In the distance, at the end of the woods, a dark figure flew past, arrived at the hiding place, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Mu, Yelu Boyan's team is heading towards the woods and is expected to arrive in less than half an hour."
Mu You's eyes dimmed slightly, and he ordered, "Get ready."
"yes!"
"Prince Qianye, do you think Mo Yunfang's men will attack us in this forest?" Unable to bear the silence in the carriage, the tense Yelu Boyan broke the silence and asked.
"I don't know. I'm not familiar with Mo Yunfang."
Yelu Boyan: "..."
"I think this forest is large and has many trees, making it perfect for an ambush. If you were one of Mo Yunfang's men, how would you attack?"
"I don't know. I can't figure out what she's thinking."
Yelu Boyan: "..."
Why does he feel like he's talking to a deaf person?
"Come here, send a thousand vanguards to scout ahead to see if there's an ambush!"
"yes!"
It is better to rely on yourself than on others! Yelu Boyan glanced at the carriage with resentment, feeling depressed.
"Your Highness, the King of Yue, they are just ordinary soldiers. If there is an ambush ahead, they will only die in vain."
"Does the Crown Princess mean that you won't even inquire about the route?"
"What can we find out? Even if there was an ambush, Mo Yunfang wouldn't send an army. The ones she sent would probably be assassins."
"If the killer wants to kill the three of us among hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they need an ambush. They are exploring the way ahead, at least to see if there are any traps or roadblocks ahead."
"Can mechanisms or roadblocks directly destroy an army of more than 200,000?" Qian Yeming's voice sounded.
Yelu Boyan said with some frustration, "Then Prince Qianye, tell me, if they want to ambush us here, what's the best way?"
"fire!"
The voices of Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao came at the same time, startling Yelu Boyang. He then realized that his team, both in front and behind, had already entered the woods.
It's summer, a dry season, and forest fires are common. Although these trees flank the official road, if a fire breaks out, the road will also be affected. By then, the army will be demoralized and everyone will be focused on escaping, giving these people time to deal with them!
"I hope they won't think of such a mean trick." At this moment, he could only hope that Mo Yunfang's people would not be as insidious as Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao.
"They will."
After hearing Murong Xiao's words, Yelu Boyan's heart instantly rose and he asked, "How did the Crown Princess know?"
"Because my nose is very sensitive, I can already smell it faintly."
Yelu Boyan: "..."
"Crown Prince Qianye and the Crown Princess truly have the demeanor of great generals! Even at this moment, they can still be so leisurely and unhurried."
"We've already come in anyway, and there's smell all over the place. There's no point in getting busy now."
