Chapter 31 Attack
On one side of the official road was a dense forest covered with snow, and on the other side was a rushing river. The only sounds on the road were the dense sound of horse hooves and the clattering of wheels.
Suddenly, a faint sound of a startled bird flapping its wings was heard in the forest.
"Whoa." Xifeng reined in his horse cautiously and raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
When traveling between the north and the south, it is common to encounter robberies. However, in such freezing weather, there are often few people on the official road all day. If there are robbers waiting here, they will probably lose their lives before they catch the fat sheep.
What's more, with such a large force, which ordinary bandit would rob the imperial army?
As soon as Xifeng raised his hand, everyone surrounded the carriage and kept a vigilant eye on the movements around them.
The horse paced restlessly, as if it sensed danger.
Deep in the forest, a man hid behind a tall rock: "I seem to have been discovered, what should I do?"
What else can we do? It has been so long since we started planning this. If we don’t give it a try, it will be even harder to start when Xie Tingzhou returns to Beijing.
A masked man beside him had a fierce look in his eyes: "The further south we go, the flatter the terrain becomes. If we don't strike here, we may never find such a good opportunity again. Let's wait until they move a little further before we strike."
A gust of wind blew, lifting the bottom edge of the veil, revealing a shocking scar from the man's right face to his chin.
Apart from the sound of a startled bird flapping its wings, there was no other sound around.
Xifeng glanced around and turned back and said, "Maybe it's a flying bird. Let's go and be careful."
The team continued to move forward, watching as the escort in front had turned the corner.
On the top of the mountain, Scarface gritted his teeth and raised his hand: "Do it!"
"Boom--" a deafening explosion sounded.
Chen Yu lifted the curtain and suddenly raised her head. Snow mixed with gravel poured down from the mountain, and an overwhelming rain of arrows followed.
She heard Xi Feng shout, "Protect the prince!"
"Your Highness, please sit tight." Chen Yu opened the door curtain without looking back.
Xie Tingzhou had already grasped the sword under the mat, but he loosened his grip upon hearing this, and then heard Shi Yu say in front of him, "Put on your clothes first."
He raised his eyebrows. Very good, he didn't even call me His Highness anymore.
The speed of the carriage suddenly increased. As the curtain swayed, Xie Tingzhou saw that the original coachman had gone somewhere and was replaced by Shi Yu.
Chen Yu swung her knife and cut down the incoming
After a few arrows were shot, I heard a dense "thump thump" sound from behind. When I turned around, I saw that the carriage had been shot into a hedgehog.
There was another deafening sound, and a larger boulder rolled down from the mountain, blocking the way in the blink of an eye.
The carriage was pulled by four horses at a very fast speed, and Shen Yu pulled the reins hard.
I felt that my bones were about to be broken by the reins, and the horse finally let out a long neigh and turned sharply.
The carriage suddenly swung toward the edge of a cliff, with a rapid stream below. The two rear wheels hung in the air, slid past, and then suddenly fell back to the ground.
Xie Tingzhou was thrown hard in the carriage and hit the wall. Just as he steady himself, the carriage suddenly sped away and left him behind again.
He held onto the car window. If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have probably kicked Shi Yu out in anger.
He had never seen a guard with such poor driving skills, yet he volunteered to take him to escape.
Xie Tingzhou was convinced.
There was a deafening sound of fighting outside, and Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain to look out.
Many masked gangsters rushed down from the mountain. Judging from their skills, they were definitely not ordinary bandits.
The other party must have spent a lot of money, and they have a large number of people and are quite courageous. In addition to silencing Liang Jianfang, they even want to kill him.
Xie Tingzhou sneered, walked out of the carriage and came to Chen Yu's side, "I'll drive."
The main reason is that Shi Yu’s driving skills are simply hard to describe. If the car continues to shake, he might even vomit his lunch.
“No, it’s dangerous outside, you go in first.” Shen Yu said, then held an assassin with a knife while driving.
These people were all very skilled, and several of them surrounded the carriage and entangled her.
Shen Yu thought about it and threw the reins to Xie Tingzhou who did not leave.
Now she could finally fight freely, waving her sword, and quickly forced back the two attackers.
The swords clashed and a gap was left on the long sword.
Xie Tingzhou didn't seem nervous at all, and he would glance at her from time to time while driving.
"There's a knife under the mat in the car."
Chen Yu threw the broken knife to force one person back, then quickly rolled into the car and pulled out a knife from under the mat.
Before he had time to see what kind of knife it was, he drew his sword and swung it. With a "clang" sound, the sword in the opponent's hand broke into two pieces.
The other party was stunned, and Shen Yu was also stunned.
I found it at a glance
It was the thin red knife that Xie Tingzhou had wiped that day.
The knife is so thin and yet so sharp, it is indeed a good knife.
For a warrior, weapons are an extension of his hands and feet.
Getting a good weapon is like adding wings to a tiger.
Chen Yu killed with great pleasure, becoming more and more courageous as he killed more than a dozen people.
Another desperate man rushed up, Chen Yu swung his knife and fought with the opponent for several moves, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he found a loophole in the opponent.
The thin knife passed through the air without leaving any sound, and the sword was about to cut the opponent's throat.
The man opened his eyes wide in despair. Everything in front of him seemed to be in slow motion. He knew clearly that his head and body would be separated in a moment.
However, the knife suddenly moved away, along with the person holding the knife.
Chen Yu was even more shocked than that person. She felt the carriage suddenly shake and fall to one side. Her knife didn't hit anyone, but she almost fell off the carriage.
She looked back suddenly and found that the entire carriage had tilted off the mountain road, with the four wheels almost hanging outside. Only a few horses were still struggling to pull the carriage back to its original place.
She finally saw a different expression on Xie Tingzhou's calm face.
He frowned slightly, seeming a little distressed, raised the whip and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse felt the pain and worked harder, kicking its hind legs hard.
Just as they were about to drag the carriage up, the horse in front suddenly neighed in pain and fell to the ground, with a knife wound on its neck.
Without the pulling force of a horse, the carriage slid backwards again.
I can’t count on the carriage anymore, Shen Yu thought.
As long as she points her toes, she can use the momentum to climb up.
She stretched out her hand towards Xie Tingzhou, "Your Highness, hold my hand, I will take you up."
Xie Tingzhou was stunned and glanced at the hand she extended.
With such a small hand, skinny arms and legs, you still want to pull yourself?
He dropped the whip and prepared to go up himself.
Seeing that the car could no longer hold on, Chen Yu saw that he was still not in a hurry, so she stepped forward and prepared to hug him and abduct him.
Unexpectedly, at the same time she moved, Xie Tingzhou also moved.
He jumped on the shaft of the cart, and the two of them collided with each other. They looked at each other in shock and fell into the rapids at the same time.
There were only two words in Chen Yu's mind.
Fuck!
