The group traveled for three days and everything went very smoothly. With the Zhou brothers leading the way, they basically didn't take any detours.
One day, the group arrived at a big mountain. Seeing that it was still early, Lin Feng told everyone to rest there for a while.
After traveling for most of the day, the people who heard this no longer cared about their image and sat down on the ground.
Suddenly, Zhou Da concentrated for a moment, leaned down alertly, and listened on the ground for a while. Suddenly, he stood up and urged everyone, "Hide in the mountains quickly, a group of people are coming this way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone acted quickly. They pulled the cart to the middle of the mountain, covered it with dry grass, and then led the donkeys and mules to a secluded place and hid them.
Everyone lay halfway up the mountain, looking down.
Li Yan asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you so nervous?"
Lin Feng explained: "With so many horse hooves beating, there must be a lot of people coming. We should be cautious and avoid this group of people!"
Everyone held their breath and waited for about a cup of tea. Then a group of guards came galloping with dozens of carriages, followed by a group of masked men in black.
Soon, the carriage was surrounded by masked men galloping from behind. A black-clad man, the leader, said in a deep voice, "I think you'd better surrender obediently, and I can leave you with an intact body!"
At this time, a white-faced, beardless man beside the carriage said sharply, "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you assassinate the prince in broad daylight!"
Li Yan and her group were stunned when they heard that the person in the carriage was actually a member of the royal family.
The man in black laughed as if he had heard a joke. "What I want today is your dog lives!"
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him and said, "No matter if they are dead or wounded, no one will be spared!"
The men in black received the order and rushed towards the carriage. Their attack was fierce and their numbers were large. The guards gradually couldn't resist them and gradually narrowed the defense range.
At this time, the leading man in black jumped onto the carriage frame, killed the two guards on the side, and split the heavy carriage with his sword.
A stern-looking young man in a black robe appeared in front of everyone.
The man in black saw the young man stunned for a moment, then realized he'd been tricked. He sneered, "Who did I think he was? Isn't this the unlearned Young Master Qin from the capital? How could he have the leisure to come to the northwest and suffer?"
Qin Yue raised his narrow, long, almond-shaped eyes and said in a relaxed tone, "Do you know me?"
The leader in black didn't want Qin Yue to see through his identity, so he swung the sword in his hand towards Qin Yue's vital point.
In his eyes, this dissolute young man who only knew how to tease cats and dogs and live a life of debauchery was just an ant who would die under his sword today. However, he did not expect that this sword would hit nothing.
Qin Yue rolled down from the broken carriage without any image, shouting loudly: "Hey, you can't win the argument and just resort to violence, what kind of hero are you!"
The black-clad leader watched Qin Yue fleeing in such a disgraceful manner, he stood there with his arms crossed, sneering, "How could such a righteous General Qin give birth to a loser like you? It's a misfortune for our family!"
Qin Yue heard the black-clothed man's mocking words, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and put on a nonchalant look: "Good man, don't kill me. If you want to talk about something, we can have a good talk. Fighting and killing only hurts the harmony!"
At this time, most of the guards on the field had been killed or injured, and the assassins clearly had the upper hand. They surrounded Qin Yue and his group. During the fight, the broken carriage rolled to the side of the road. Li Yan, who was hiding halfway up the mountain, saw what she had been thinking about from the pile of rolling supplies!
