Chapter 142: Ambush from All Sides
Since this thing is so important, it is better to take the opportunity to blackmail it.81
"Even if I tell you where that thing is hidden, I guess you can't get it back. Why don't you hand it over to you personally, but what benefits can you give me?" Tan Luo thought for a moment, and the masked man thought that he was not short of gold. "Do you think that hijacking this housekeeper could threaten me?"
"What do you want?" The masked man said angrily. The woman opposite him was completely unreasonable. It seemed that he overestimated the position of King Qin in her mind.
"Actually it's not difficult. Give me a thousand taels." Tan Luo raised a finger.
"Okay, I promise you." He snorted coldly, and it turned out to be a greedy woman.
"..." It's so easy, "I mean a thousand taels of gold."
The masked man looked quite impatient, and it would be detrimental to them to delay like this: "Okay, one thousand taels, gold!"
"Brother, please feel free!" Tanluo laughed loudly.
And the jungle behind her, half a person-high shrubs and grasses were automatically windless, and a familiar aura suddenly stagnated.
"It's her." The man ambushed in the jungle looked as sharp as an eagle.
On the rocks, the masked man said coldly: "Gold is fulfilled when you hand over the thing to me. As for now, keep your promise and take me to pick it up!"
"Slow down." She raised her hand and looked at Xun Wei, the butler who had been silent across the street, "You said just now that this butler knew everything about the King of Qin, and even knew why he proposed marriage to Changsun's mansion. Since I want to save him, at least I have to verify it. Otherwise, if you lied to me, wouldn't it be a big loss?"
"Talk." The masked man furiously and gritted his teeth, "I promise you, but you can only ask one question. If you dare to talk nonsense after asking, the man will immediately leave the cliff!"
Tanluo walked forward two steps, looked at Xun Wei with a dazed look, and expressed his doubts: "Tell me, is there something else that Hongyi proposed to Changsun's mansion?"
At first she only heard the maid of Changsun’s mansion say that the King of Qin chose Changsun Ruoshui as his wife after seeing her portrait. If not, it would be...
"Your Highness met the third lady of Changsun Mansion five years ago and has been obsessed with it. In addition, the power of Changsun Mansion can become a strong backing for Your Highness to compete for the country. Why did he propose marriage to the Changsun Mansion?" Xun Wei asked back.
Tanluo's heart was shaking. In this way, Brother Yi had known the genuine Yinyin for a long time, so what am I...
Her steps were staggering, and the sudden fact made her feel like a knife. It turned out that she had always been her wishful thinking and her self-indulgent act.
What Hongyi saw through her was another woman, the third lady of Changsun Mansion, and a descendant of a famous family. She had nothing to do with Tanluo, who had no father or mother and no power to support him.
"I'll ask you again, Ye Yinyin was drunk in the brothel, and it was Hongyi who took her back home." Tanluo's memory of that night was vague, and she only remembered that a broad embrace kept hugging her tightly and murmured softly.
"He has said and done something to Yinyin. Did he ever say that the princess cannot break her body before entering the door?" If she remembered correctly, perhaps it was at that time that she was disheveled in front of Hongyi and exposed her body.
So he could say with certainty that there was no birthmark on Yinyin's left shoulder.
"How could you know this?" Xun Wei's dull expression was shocked at this moment. What the woman said was indeed the persuasion of His Highness to the third lady in the carriage.
In the jungle not far away, Hongyi held his breath and listened to the conversation between the two people ahead. The martial arts practitioners were far more effective than ordinary people. The two were not loud, but he could hear it sincerely.
In her sight, the "teenager" in the guard's uniform looked as if dead, and her voice trembled, especially the eyes that were longing for her, which looked very much like her.
Could it be that she was really Yinyin? No one could have known about the incident that night, but how could this be possible? Didn’t Yinyin fall off the cliff?
"Woman, you have asked too much. Where is the thing hidden? If you don't say it again..." Seeing this woman talking, the masked man could no longer hold back and put his sword on Xun Wei's neck and retreated towards the cliff.
"I think you can't figure it out now. His master has come to save people. Do you think you can escape?" Tan Luo glanced behind her. She didn't want to see the man again.
"What did you say!"
"There will be no future." She flew up and gently floated towards the nearest big tree like a red maple.
At the same time, nearly a hundred crossbows were waiting for the formation, and arrows were on the strings.
"Let go of Xun Wei." The man's thick voice suddenly sounded, dressed in a brown beard costume, walked out of the jungle calmly, pursing his thin lips tightly, showing the majesty of the royal family.
The masked man looked panicked, and the sword in his hand slashed across his neck in panic. A dark mark suddenly appeared on Xun Wei's honey-colored skin. Jing Yao narrowed his eyes and his eyes were sharp.
Seeing this posture, the masked man cursed, left Xun Wei and ran away, hurried into the woods.
"Chasing me!" The man shouted in a deep voice, glanced at Xun Wei who was huddled on the ground, stepped by himself, turned around and chased Tanluo who was moving away...
Ten miles away, Jing Yao rode a horse to a flat and open place. He looked up at the dark clouds surging in the sky, and his eyes immediately rushed to the forest where birds flew away in the distance.
"Commander Tian, which direction did Hongyi and the others go?"
Tian Weilong looked along the direction the prince pointed, bowed and said, "The King of Qin went east. There are often wild animals in that forest, so I guess they are still hunting."
Jing Yao rode on the horse and continued to move forward casually. He loosened the reins and curled his lips and smiled: "The second brother and the others are good at hunting, but they like hunters. Do you think it will be the prey that will fall into the trap in the end, or will both lose money?"
"Your Highness is prosperous and the heavens, and my subordinates swear to be loyal to you." Commander Tian and General Yu stood on both sides to protect the prince.
"They are here." As soon as the words finished, dozens of black-clad killers were caught up with behind him, and the most conspicuous one was the man wearing a ghost mask.
"I don't know when the Weiyang Palace Lord was interested in the affairs of the court."
"Weiyang Palace has always been on orders. Prince, offended!" Mo Mei raised her arm and shouted decisively, "Plus to trap them, and no one should be allowed to leave this place before dark!"
Jing Yao smiled coldly, and in front of him, dozens of killers jointly launched an attack, agile, like a night owl passing through the dark night jungle. Such a large-scale attack was like a half-point sound, and the air was filled with solemn and murderous aura.
He took off the crossbow, opened the bow and pulled the strings.
With a "swish", the sword arrow shot at a raised stone, with great force and the stones split into pieces. At the same time, the towering trees above the head rustled, not the sound of the wind, but just like an ambush on all sides.
Almost at the same moment, a huge net covering the sky fell from the sky, covering the killer who was attacking from all directions. The iron chain net was sharp barbs, deep enough to penetrate the bones. Suddenly, screaming and blood was everywhere.
The killer, who was not yet trapped, approached the ground and bent over and rushed out of the siege. Before taking three steps, he was stabbed into his waist and abdomen by a long blade shot out of the soil. On top of his head were dense sword arrows as if they were storms.
Except for the location where Jing Yao and his friends stood, all other places were unfortunately strangled and struck with bloody and terrible sight.
Accompanied by the thunder, the strong winds were blowing, the clouds were swept and the sand was rising, and the demon stood on the branches and looked down at the bottom, with black hair dancing wildly, and black robe flying. Behind him were the boiling purple thunder clouds.
Another lightning flashed through the sky, deafening.
Immediately afterwards, the raindrops were connected into silk threads, pouring down from the clouds like a river of sky breaking the dam. The strong wind rolled up the raindrops, whipping like a silver whip, splashing layers of crystal water.
The rain combined with blood flowed. Under the killing of the killing formation, dozens of killers died and injured. The few who escaped by chance were also blocked by Commander Tian and General Yu. The swords and swords were in harmony, which was a battle between life and death.
Jing Yao looked at the sky with an oil-paper umbrella, wondering how she was now staying at the camp.
He left hundreds of imperial guards in the Eastern Palace in the camp to protect her. As he expected, this trip, he didn't know why the hidden man hired Weiyang Palace to take action. Could it be to cover up his eyes and prevent his identity from being exposed?
It was raining heavily, and a small black dot appeared in the sky. It hovered and soared, diving towards Jingyao.
Accompanied by the screaming birds, a red eagle flapped its feathered wings and swept across the crowd, stopping on General Yu's shoulders.
Yu Zhu took off the letter paper from the red eagle's legs and frowned. He glanced quickly and gave the prince a solemn look.
"What a despicable villain!" After looking at it, Jing Yao crushed the letter paper in his hand, and glanced at the palace master of Weiyang Palace who was watching coldly on the tree, demon beauty.
The man was heartless and ruthless, sacrificing dozens of killers just to delay time and trap his actions. The woman he was thinking about protecting was led out of the military camp by another group of people and disappeared near the cliff.
He cut off the demon girl's eyes, threw away the oil-paper umbrella and flew onto the horse, and galloped towards the cliff.
Mo Mei just jumped down, completely ignoring the pain of her subordinates, and quietly turned around in the rain and fog.
A fierce battle came to an abrupt end.
When Jing Yao arrived at the place he described in the letter, he had long disappeared. He jumped off his horse and walked through the mountains and forests.
The rain was noisy, and he walked to the gravel and wild rocks, and seemed to have caught a strange sound in his ears. Not far ahead, two running figures suddenly appeared. Seeing this, Jing Yao hurriedly caught up with him.
"Yinyin, listen to my explanation."
"Don't come over, I'm not that Lao Shiziyin."
"No, you are, Yinyin, it was all my fault before, please don't leave!"
"The sound you like was dead when you fell into the water. My name is Tanluo, and it is definitely not the sound you like."
"No matter how much a person changes, his eyes will not change. I definitely did not admit my mistake this time."
"Everyone said I was not!" Tanluo stopped and roared loudly. A gust of wind blew, and then he was hugged by a familiar breath.
The visitor raised his gentle eyes, stroked the wet look on her forehead with his fingertips, and Yingying smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you were allowed to stay in the camp and wait for me to come back? Why don't you listen to advice so much? How can I punish you?"
