The convoy stopped on the side of the road, and a few Beirong warriors dressed as businessmen also took this opportunity to stop and rest, and couldn't help complaining to each other: "Did we treat this guy too much? Just let him hold back?"

"After all, he is the crown prince of a country. The king said he wanted to bring him back alive. It's not easy to bully him too much. At least he should keep some dignity."

"Obviously already our captive, treat him like a pig and dog, and guarantee that he will not die?"

"Hmph, if you want me to say, just give his head to the Emperor Datu, and see if Datu dares to fight against our Beirong!"

Seeing that the subordinates were talking too much, the leader suddenly said angrily: "Shut up! What do you know!? Listen to the king's order!"

The others stopped talking, but they still looked a little unconvinced.

They watched their companions lead Zhu Rongzhan into the woods beside the road, and slowly spread to the front and rear of the car. They seemed to be checking the goods in the carriage, but they were actually on guard.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from a distance, and the rest of them immediately looked at each other, exchanged a vigilant look, and approached the place where the weapons were hidden.

I saw a man and a woman galloping towards the caravan on horseback. Seeing the caravan by the side of the road, the man let out a "Hey" and stopped the steed as he passed the caravan.Seeing this, the woman also stopped, and asked softly: "My lord, what's the matter?"

The young man drove his horse closer and asked curiously, "Where are you traveling as a caravan?"

A businessman hurried forward, seeming to welcome him, but actually preventing him from approaching.

"We are a caravan returning from the north. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, Young Master?"

"Returning from the north? Are you all sold out?"

"Yes."

"Then where did you buy the goods?" After finishing speaking, before the businessman could answer, he looked at the direction the caravan came from: "You came from Hedong City? There was a disaster on the east side of the river, are there any other products for sale?"

"The surrounding areas of Hedong were seriously affected by the disaster, but the city of Hedong is relatively stable. Except for the lack of food, other supplies are good. The price of food is one hour. We really couldn't stand it, so we left early on the road."

The young man laughed: "I was planning to go to Hedong to buy some things. If you have them in your carriage, why don't I buy them from your place, which saves me some travel."

The businessman hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "My lord, we have traveled thousands of miles to do business. It is really not easy. The goods we buy can't be sold for much money in Datu, but if they are shipped outside the Great Wall, they will be sold at hundreds of times the high price. It is really not worthwhile for us to sell here."

"Didn't you guys leave Datu at the next stop?" The young man said dissatisfiedly: "You sell me some things here, can't you go to the next city to make up for it? At worst, I'll pay double the price, right?"

"This……"

Seeing that the young man refused to leave easily, another businessman stepped forward to pull his companion, and quickly whispered in Beirong dialect: "Don't pester him! Send him away quickly!"

Immediately, he reprimanded in big words: "You bastard! You are so ignorant! There is no reason to push the business out!"

He smiled at the young master and said, "I don't know what the young master wants to buy?"

"That's right!" The young master said with satisfaction, "What's in your car?"

"That's naturally the most popular commodity outside the Great Wall - silk, tea..."

As the businessman said, he lifted the curtain of the car, revealing the goods inside.

The young man said to the maid behind him: "Come and have a look, is there anything you like? The young master will buy it for you."

The maid smiled slightly: "Thank you, my lord."

They were about to get off their horses to pick out the goods, when there was a sudden rustling of leaves in the woods, the young man looked up in surprise and said, "What's happening!? Could it be that there are tigers and bears!?"

It was Zhu Rongzhan who finally saw the person coming, eager to attract the other person's attention, and wanted to rush out to call for help, but the businessman guarding him covered his mouth.

Even though the Beibei businessman was a well-trained warrior, Zhu Rongzhan was still a man with considerable strength.After a fight between the two, Zhu Rongzhan was pinned to the ground. Although he couldn't get away, he was able to grab the gap and shouted loudly: "They are the secret agents of Bei Rong! Run!!"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react for a while, and looked at the businessman beside him in a daze: "What's that sound?"

The maid was alert and sensed something was wrong: "Master! Let's go!"

But the merchants reacted faster, grabbed their legs and pulled them off their horses.

They pulled out the daggers in their arms, sneered and prepared to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, killing people and silence: "We didn't intend to touch you, if you want to blame, blame your prince!"

The young man trembled tremblingly, his face turned green and pale with fright: "Prince, prince? What prince?"

At this time, Zhu Rongzhan's jaw and arms were removed, and he walked out of the woods under pressure.

He already had a slight limp on his feet, so he naturally staggered a bit when he walked. At this moment, his women's clothes were messy, his long hair was loose, and he couldn't see his face clearly at the moment. He could only see a little white and delicate skin and a beautiful outline.

The young man was terrified at first, but now he had a heroic spirit of pity and pity, and he said angrily, "How dare you rob people's daughters by force!?"

He wears a sword at his waist, but it has many decorations, and it is obviously more inclined to ritual than actual combat.

The young master drew out his sword with a "clang clang", and was about to fight him.

The merchants burst into laughter.

"His Royal Highness, just wait and see, as long as you dare to call for help, we will chop these people into pieces in front of you - if you don't care about their lives, just keep thinking about running away!"

Zhu Rongzhan looked at him coldly.

After a few rounds, the young man's sword was thrown away.Several Beirong people stepped forward and grabbed the maid by her hair, laughing and dragging her to the ground.

"Let's start with this woman! Drag her here! Let His Royal Highness take a good look at it!"

"Don't—! Don't! Young Master—! Young Master, save me—ah!!"

The girl screamed.

She struggled desperately, but a girl with no strength to restrain a chicken had no strength at all to compete with a few Beirong fighters who were big and thick.

Zhu Rongzhan looked at those Beirong warriors with disgust and contempt, and said angrily: "You will only use such indiscriminate methods."

At this moment, a crossbow arrow came through the air!

An arrow directly hit the temple of the Bei Rong businessman who was holding Zhu Rongzhan hostage.There was still a sinister smile on his face, but he hadn't realized how the situation had changed at this moment, so he was frozen in this moment forever, and fell down suddenly.

At the same time, another scream sounded at the same time.

Zhu Rongzhan fell to the ground under his weight. He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the crossbow arrows were coming from, but he saw two more horsemen arriving not far away.

A man and a woman are shoulder-to-shoulder. The man is holding a crossbow and is changing the arrows. The other is holding a curved bow. The arrows have been changed and the next wave is ready to be shot.

Zhu Rongzhan had never seen that man before, but he was most familiar with that woman.

Zhu Rongzhan looked at the direction where he screamed just now, but it was another Beirong warrior who was dragging the maid's hair.

The arrow hit his eyeball, and at this moment he fell to the ground, almost mad with pain.

"Ayu..."

Zhu Rongzhan fell to the ground, almost unable to believe his eyes.
