Chapter 1481 Encountered an ambush!

"Zhongsi, have you contacted Lao Wu?"

Li Zhongsi, who was also drinking water, heard this and quickly put down the kettle and walked over.

He bowed and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, I have just contacted Master Wu and agreed to meet him in Zhaojia Town ahead!"

Li Chengru nodded: "Okay, let's take a rest and set off immediately!"

"We must try to reach Zhaojia Town before dark. My right eyelid keeps twitching, and I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid the journey will not be peaceful!"

"Yes, sir~" After answering, Li Zhongsi and his men got busy.

Arrange scouts!

Refill water!

And eat dry food to replenish your energy~
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Li Chengru completely became a hands-off boss and leaned against a big rock with his eyes closed to rest.

Originally, Niu Dali should have been the leader of this gang, but this guy was just a simpleton with a simple mind and strong limbs. It was really difficult for him to arrange these things, so gradually he was no longer allowed to take charge and just let him be his bodyguard.

The cool breeze blowing in the shade by the river was so comfortable that Li Chengru actually felt a little sleepy. Just when he was about to take a nap, his mental power suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He opened his eyes without any sleepiness, picked up the iron rod beside him, straightened his back and stared to the right.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Da Li, Zhong Si, tell our brothers to be alert, there are some crows coming!"

"Protect His Highness~" These more than 100 people were well-trained, and with Li Zhongsi's shout, they instantly formed a battle formation.

"Lao Li, take someone over to take a look!"

"Yes, sir~" Lao Li, who had a scar on his face, had fought on the battlefield. He quickly put his two brothers on full alert and moved over there.

"Damn, we've been discovered!" There were indeed dozens of people lying in ambush in the bushes. Each of them was wearing coarse cloth, but it was difficult to conceal their capable aura.

Originally, he wanted to sneak up on him and catch the other party off guard.

The leader was an eighth-rank warrior. Seeing this, he stood up, drew his sword and shouted, "Damn it, come at me!"

"Swish, swish, swish~" More than a dozen archers stood in place, drawing their bows and shooting arrows, and the remaining 20 or so people rushed up instantly.

Li Chengru was protected by a shield, and at the same time dozens of archers began shooting at him, temporarily suppressing the opponent.

"Your Highness, this is not an ordinary bandit!" Li Zhongsi's eyes were sharp and he picked up the arrow that shot in from the gap.

Li Chengru took it and narrowed his eyes: "Standard arrowhead used in the army!"

"vigorously!"

"Here I am~" Niu Dali, who was speaking sullenly, was putting on his armor with the help of several people.

His armor weighed over 300 kilograms, and he usually took it off when he was not fighting. Otherwise, he himself weighed over kilograms, and with the armor on, no horse could carry it.

This heavy armor was made for him by Li Chengru at a huge expense. It wrapped his whole body tightly. Even the eyes of the helmet had gold mesh. With a burly figure of more than two meters, he was simply a human tank.

"Ah~" He carried the ghost-head knife on his shoulder, stood in front and roared at the opposite side. The arrows shot at the armor were directly bounced away.

"Gudong!" Faced with this humanoid beast, the assassin disguised as a bandit was a little scared and his pace gradually slowed down.

One of them even looked at the leader, the fear in his expression almost overflowing.

"Captain... uh, big brother!" He changed his address when seeing the other party's murderous gaze!

"Why don't we just retreat? The intelligence was wrong. The enemy has more than a hundred people. The few dozen of us are barely enough to fill their gaps!"

"Yes, big brother, what Li San said is right, let's..." Before he could finish his words,

The leader stopped, drew his sword and slashed his carotid artery without hesitation. "Bang!" The headless body fell to the ground, and everyone was shocked.

He looked around and said viciously, "Everyone, charge at me, or we will suffer the consequences when we return!"

"The other party is just a mere guard. You have followed me through hundreds of battles, and you can't even beat a big fool?"

"When a man dies, the birds fly back to the sky. If he doesn't die, he will live forever. As long as you complete this task, each of you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. I guarantee that you will all be masters when you return. Those who don't have wives will find houses for them, and those who have wives will buy some land, have wives and children, and live in a warm bed!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. The lives of the common people at the bottom of feudal society are so hard that a life is worthless in comparison. They rush forward with red eyes and screaming.

"Kill~"

"rush!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Compared to Li Chengru who had a shield for protection, these people only had coarse cloth clothes on their bodies to conceal their identities. Soon someone fell to the ground, but they still couldn't stop their determination to fight for wealth and rushed forward, stepping on the bodies of their comrades.

They feel that as long as the fighting gets close to hand, these veterans who have fought in hundreds of battles can definitely defeat ten people with one, and by then they can go home to their wives and children and have a warm bed!
These people came here to assassinate, so naturally they couldn't bring many bows and arrows. The archers behind them rushed up after they had shot all their arrows.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Chengru quickly jumped up with a wrought iron rod. He first hit the head of the man in front without hesitation, and then killed Lao Liu who was about to launch a sneak attack on him.

And Niu Dali's armor was not worn in vain. He charged around like a wild bull. Anyone who encountered a ghost-head knife would be either killed or injured. In an instant, he had already smashed the opponent's lineup into pieces.

In fact, Li Chengru did not send out all his men just to be on the safe side. About half of them were on alert, fearing a second wave of sneak attacks.

“Give me your life~” The leader was an eighth-rank officer, but he had fought in the army for many years and his combat experience was comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-rank officer.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!
Looking at the blade in front of him, Li Chengru realized that he was being treated as a soft persimmon by the other party. He smiled cruelly and used his true energy to turn the several hundred kilograms of iron rod into an afterimage in an instant.

"Bang~" The result was already determined. The other party didn't even have time to say a last word before he was smashed into mud.

Before he died, he couldn't figure it out. This information was a little wrong. Didn't it say that the eldest prince was not worthy of his title? The ninth rank was just a gimmick for bragging. How could he be so powerful?

Dozens of assassins were quickly killed. After all, the enemy was the elite in the army, and Li Chengru's side also inevitably suffered casualties in the battle.

"Your Majesty, six brothers are dead!"

"All of them shall be buried with honor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his men ran over excitedly.

"My Lord, there is a survivor!"

"I'll leave it to you, Zhongsi. Find out who the other party is~" Li Chengru wiped the blood off his face.

This is the disadvantage of using a stick as a weapon. Although it is quite powerful, it is inevitable that it will splash onto your body.

Before even a stick of incense had burned, when we had packed our bags and were ready to set off, Li Zhongsi came back to report.

"Your Highness, the other party is from the Liu Mansion!"

"Okay, let's go~" Li Chengru acted very calmly and didn't yell or get emotional.

This day had been expected. The kid who killed the chicken to scare the monkey was only seriously injured at first, but he died within a few days after returning. So it was normal for the Liu Mansion to come and take revenge.

"Drive~"

"drive!"

The journey was not peaceful afterwards. In just one short afternoon, they encountered four waves of assassinations in succession, which resulted in them not arriving at Zhaojia Town on time.

Surrounded for more than ten kilometers.
