Chapter 869: Betrayer
Feng Changqi and the others, who thought that they were going to leave the city, would have to say a few more words to the generals defending the city, and even report Shen Ming's name before leaving, were stunned for a moment when they heard these words.
How easily did you let them out? In a trance, they felt as if they were in a dream.
Out of curiosity, Feng Changqi half-lifted the curtain, looked at the city, and landed on the young general in silver armor. Coincidentally, the other party was also staring at them, and when they looked at each other, the man hooked his lips and smiled.
Yueqing came over, and when she saw the appearance of the person on the city wall, she frowned, and whispered to Feng Changqi: "Don't look at this person's young age, he is the most trusted person under Shen Ming, many years ago Shen Ming led the army to defeat his neighbors, so that his reputation spread all over the country, and half of the credit came from this person."
I really can't see this.
"I didn't expect this person to be young, but he has such an achievement, even the veterans who are older than him may not have the ability of him."
Yueqing nodded vigorously, when she first learned about this person's deeds from Wu Xi's mouth, she also reacted like Feng Changqi, but now she can be regarded as completely open, some people are destined to be different!
Since they gave way out, and if they didn't go, they wouldn't give face, and the horses neighed, pulled the carriage slowly through the city gates, all the way to the outside of the city, and gradually walked away in the eyes of everyone.
As the carriage completely disappeared from sight, Xuan Bing let out a burst of emotion: "It's true."
The subordinates on the side looked at him with a puzzled expression, obviously not knowing who he was talking about who looked like whom: "General, what are you talking about?"
"It's none of your business, just do what you do!"
"Subordinates obey!"
In the galloping carriage, Feng Changqi subconsciously touched his cheek, and the scene of the general on the city wall smiling at him came to mind.
Although the other party did not deliberately show it, Feng Changqi could detect the change in the other party's mood, and when he saw his face, he was in a trance for a moment, why did that person show such a difference? Did he see another person through his face?
"Phewβ"
Before Feng Changqi could come up with a reason, the carriage had already stopped.
The voices of Li Xinghe and Wu Xi came from outside, and their tone was confused: "Is this the place mentioned in the letter?" It's really strange, obviously there is no one here, not even a ghost is seen, how can anyone answer here? Did we get the letter wrong about where it was answered? β
Standing here, you will be greeted by a forest and a winding official road in the distance, and it doesn't look like a human being in any way.
Yu Wuwang stepped out of the carriage, swept his eyes, and lightly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword: "The business is not that no one is here, but that it is hidden."
"Hidden? But we're not enemies? β
Yu Wuwang didn't speak, but just pressed a little more on the hilt of the sword. He could feel that none of the many eyes that shot from the woods were kind, and compared to those people who were sent by Shen Zhiwen to meet them, Yu Wuwang believed more that those people were the ones who stayed here and waited for their prey.
Those people have absolutely no kindness towards them!
"Beware of ambushes." In the carriage, Yueqing and Feng Changqi also wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Yu Wuwang's words, and there was a dignified atmosphere inside and out.
"Who would come here to ambush us? Obviously, the location was picked out by us with great difficulty...... Could it be that the secret letter we sent out was seen by someone else? Or does someone happen to like to ambush here? β
Compared with the latter, Feng Changqi felt that the former was more reliable, and no matter which possibility was at this time, it was not a good thing for them.
In the woods, the ambush man was whispering.
"General, look at those people, could they be the ones His Highness asked us to take?"
The person called the general nodded, and a coldness flashed at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "Your Highness said that there are five of those people, and counting the two girls who opened the curtain to look, there are exactly five, and they are right!" In this special period, he didn't believe that anyone happened to come out of the capital, and there happened to be five of them!
With the thought that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, the general glanced at the brothers who were lying in ambush beside him.
Those people understood, and groped their way through the woods.
Li Xinghe was sweating profusely with fright, and Wu Xi and Yu Wuwang behaved a little better, but it could be seen that the two were also nervous. If they were the only ones here, they might be able to fight their way out of the encirclement, but now that there are Feng Changqi and Yueqing in the carriage, they would rather stay here with their lives than let those two have anything to do.
Hopelessly, Yu could sense the enemy's approach, so he patted the horse's head to calm the horse's nervousness, and whispered to the two people in the carriage, "If the situation is not good, you should leave as soon as possible."
Feng Changqi's voice trembled: "Master......"
"It's okay, I'll chase after me."
In all fairness, Feng Changqi was unwilling to leave Yu Hopeless alone, she would rather stay and bear everything with him, even if it might be death in front of her. She gritted her teeth and stuffed the wooden box containing the water flowers in the wood into Yueqing's hand, who frowned but didn't say much.
Outside the carriage, Wu Xi raised his voice and asked, "Who is hiding there?"
There was silence in the woods where I don't know how many people were hiding, and not long after, a voice sounded: "You came from that direction, you must be from the capital, right?"
"So what?"
There was the sound of grass and trees being ripped open, and in a moment, several figures stood out from their hiding places. Each of them was wearing armor and had scars on their faces or bodies, apparently from the army. As for the armor style, Feng Changqi clearly remembered that a few days ago, in Shen Haoran's barracks, she had seen exactly the same ones, and she thought that these people were Shen Zhiwen's subordinates.
At least it used to be!
With smiles on their faces, they walked quickly towards Yu Wuwang and the others, and said as they went, "It's time to wait for you!" Early this morning, before dawn, His Royal Highness sent me and others to come here to meet you, I heard that the capital is under martial law from today, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will, we are still worried that you will not be able to come out safely, but fortunately it is in vain! β
Jade Wuwang frowned, and the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword did not mean to let go.
"Who is Your Highness in your mouth?"
Several soldiers who were about to come forward felt stunned: "Your Highness, naturally it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Shen Zhiwen opened the prelude to the civil war, I don't know for what reason, he didn't choose to ascend the throne for a long time, so after the civil war lasted for two years, his soldiers still respected him as His Royal Highness the Prince.
But in this way, those who doubt life have become Yu Wuwang and Wu Xi, when they stood still, they clearly felt the killing intent of the other party, is that an illusion? But it's too outrageous for two people to have illusions at the same time.
"We are really sent by His Royal Highness Shen Zhiwen to pick you up!" The footsteps of the young soldiers took another step, this time, there was a little helplessness in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows, "If you don't want to believe it, we can report the number and name, if these are not enough, you can also choose to go back to see Your Highness, and now Your Highness is waiting for you." β
The expressions of these people were very natural, and from any point of view, they didn't look like they were lying, but even so, Yu Wuwang was still very wary of them.
"Where is your leader? Can you get him to come out and talk? β
Several soldiers looked at each other and did not answer directly. At this time, the distance between them was already very close, and with just one flying distance, they could throw the jade hopelessly!
Several people glanced at each other again, secretly totaling in their hearts.
These people who got out of the carriage were all dressed in luxurious clothes, dressed up, and had a bearing in appearance, etc., none of them resembled ordinary people, all of which showed that they were not ordinary people, perhaps the children of some official, or the family of a wealthy businessman, in short, they were either rich or noble. People with a good family background like this generally have a characteristic, that is, they are useless, they are good at yelling at people on weekdays, but they may not dare to do it when they fight with real knives and guns! Rather than waiting here for them to be vigilant when they find something wrong, it's better to strike first!
It was too late, and then it was too fast, and after several people made up their minds, they immediately launched an offensive, and several people flew together.
Yu Wuwang and Wu Xi are not vegetarians, and they don't know how many times they have seen the more difficult pictures than now, so they naturally did not panic in the face of the situation in front of them, and dodged slowly and methodically.
And Li Xinghe was not so lucky, before he was caught and drove the boat, he was just an ordinary person who ate mixed rice, and he had never seen a few scenes of fights and brawls, let alone the real scene of using knives and guns in front of him, it was already very good that he could barely support himself from fainting with fright!
Li Xinghe managed to dodge the enemy's attack with difficulty, and while he was sweating profusely with fright, he shouted unwillingly: "Aren't you people the prince's subordinates, why do you still want to do it to us!" Don't you want to break the rules set by the prince? We are friends of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shen, and if you hurt people, they will definitely not-"
"Shut up!"
Li Xinghe didn't mention Shen Zhiwen, maybe they couldn't remember it, as soon as Shen Haoran was mentioned, some people's mentality exploded.
All eyes were focused on the speaker's face, and the man's face changed again: "Look what I do, hurry up and do your business!" Arrest them all, and be careful not to hurt your life! If you work carefully, you should send the past alive, and this kind of nomination seems to be more sincere. β
Feng Changqi, who was so nervous in the carriage that he wanted to kill someone, heard the key words keenly, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Fine?"
Yueqing also heard: "They must have misunderstood."
