I want to be a good minister

Chapter 269
There was darkness in the mountain forest, and the dense jungle was like a devil entrenched on the mountain, and the figure hidden in the darkness was even more silent, slowly approaching.

"Leader, I have found out clearly. His Royal Highness's team is not far ahead. We just wait for tomorrow. We will outflank the front and back. This time, we will succeed—" a member of the sect replied in a low voice, and the leader nodded.

"This time, Mr. Anxiu must not be allowed to escape. By the way, there is also that young man, who must be caught alive." The leader looked down from a high position, and although there was darkness in front of him, he knew that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Houzhao Kingdom, was right in front of him. somewhere in the forest.

In the dark night, the moon was dim and the clouds overlapped. An Xiujun, who was waiting quietly in the woods, lit a bonfire. This bonfire was very eye-catching in the dark night, and even another mountain could be seen very clearly.

Cen Xi was gently woken up, Sui Sheng and the others were already ready to go, instead of lighting a torch, they heated up the bonfire even more, and a group of people moved forward quietly.

At this time, the team that was already approaching the front, Sui Ru had already inquired first. At this time, in the middle of the night, the group of people had already woken up, and faintly heard the sound of walking through the woods.

"Ho—" followed by a soft drink, like a voice from the throat, in the darkness, there were many faint figures, prostrate on the ground, their movements were uniform, and they knelt down devoutly.

Cen Xi frowned slightly, what would he do if he didn't sleep in the middle of the night?
"This is a kind of sacrifice of the Northern Boundary Sect, which heralds a major action and determination to win." Sui Sheng glanced at Cen Xi in the dark.

Once worshiping, it means that the other party has sacrificed their lives to the gods, and they will kill them with the determination to die.

Compared with the national teacher, Suisheng has seen Cen Xi's ability to predict the wind and rain, but, as the national teacher said, this time is related to the life and death of His Royal Highness. Although they have the national teacher, they have already consumed their divine power once. The national teacher, within a short period of time, cannot be opened for the second time.

Therefore, once Cen Xi's plan fails, they will be completely exposed to the enemy's siege, and they are very dangerous.

"How?" In the darkness, everyone stared nervously at the darkness, wishing to have a pair of eyes to see the night clearly.

Those have been neatly piled up in the camp, just waiting for the night to clear and the day to come.

Everyone was nervous. For the first time, they pinned all their hopes on unreliable luck. The national teacher thought it was a fluke.

In late autumn, it is normal for there to be a lot of fog in the mountains, but the chances of forming fog with such low visibility are extremely rare.

However, other than that, luck is the only way to use dozens of them to deal with nearly a hundred people in the local area.

"National Teacher, it really doesn't work. All of us gather together to create a bloody path for His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as we persist for a day, His Highness the Prince will have hope." A guard leader quietly approached the National Teacher.

Regarding this mysterious matter, they had no hope, and seeing that the national teacher was silent, the head of the guard panicked.He was originally a member of Eunuch Yin's subordinates, and he was valued by the lord to protect His Royal Highness, but at this time, he could only listen to a young man who had never killed anyone with a sword.

"National teacher, we are Houzhao people, and we are often in this jungle, so why don't we know that there is no rain in the thick sunshine, how could there be such a thick fog, it is rare once or twice a year, how could it be tomorrow ’” said the head of the guards.

"What do you want?" The national teacher turned his head, it was less than an hour before dawn, indeed, that kid was not familiar with the environment of Houzhao country, and Shang Yi had always been brave and good at fighting, dedicated to the country.

"The subordinates are willing to rush out with the guards to protect His Royal Highness and the National Teacher to break out of the tight encirclement. As long as a gap is opened, the National Teacher and His Highness can break through the tight encirclement—"

The national teacher was silent, and Cen Xi's calm face appeared from time to time. The young man was so sure that there should be no mistakes.

"National teacher, you can't hesitate anymore, it's almost dawn, once their sacrifice is completed, it will be too late—" Shang Yi looked anxious.

"General Shang listens to the order—" The national teacher turned his head, the Shang clan had been loyal for generations, and he didn't doubt their loyalty, but at this time, loyalty could not solve the problem.

"Stay where you are, wait for the sky to light up, and act according to the plan—" the national teacher's voice was cold.

Shang Yi was stunned for a moment, his expression was eager, unwilling, more helpless, and the next moment, he quickly straightened his back and saluted.

"Yes—" Then he turned around and glanced at the scarecrows piled up on the ground one by one. This Cen Jing underestimated his opponent, really thought that just putting some scarecrows could fool him?

He didn't believe that there would really be thick fog tomorrow morning. Although he retreated, he was still not reconciled.

Guoshi Suisheng and the others believed in this young boy too much, so it was good for him to keep a hand, so they quietly called a few of his subordinates and gave them some orders.

Time slowly passed, and the thick night slowly dissipated. Cen Xi and the others stared closely at the first ray of white that appeared on the eastern horizon. Sui Sheng tightly held the weapon in his hand, and glanced at the side Cen Jing.

The boy's expression was calm, as if he wasn't worried about his prediction at all, while everyone else was staring at the sky that was about to turn on the bright light.

The next moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and then, an impatient voice sounded.

"Fog, is there really fog?" But the fog is not the key, what is more important is that the fog must be very thick, as Mr. Cen said, you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hands, this kind of fog...

"Young Master Cen—" Sui Sheng took a step forward, heaving a sigh of relief, Cen Xi immediately nodded and followed the plan.

With a wave of Suisheng's hand, the two groups of people quickly dived into the thick fog, and walked towards the front and rear in the increasingly bright sky.

And those who also started to act were the besieged people.

"Let's go—" Nearly a hundred people stepped through the fog-stained jungle and came towards the direction where Mr. Anxiu was.

Thick fog, indeed dense fog, the thick white fog seeps through the trees, and the light blocked by the trees cannot penetrate into the fog.However, as the sky became whiter, the fog became strangely thicker.

"Whoosh—" A sharp arrow pierced through the air, pierced through the white mist, and passed through the woods with a high-pitched whistle, followed by dozens of high-pitched whistles, piercing through the thick fog and heading towards The black figure in the dense fog left.

"There is an ambush—" Immediately afterwards, there was only a loud shout, and you panicked as you lined up. Following the sound of swords colliding, half of the arrows fell to the ground, and half of the arrows wounded the people in the fog.

"Boss, it's not good, they have an ambush—" Afterwards, a guard hurriedly reported.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush—" The leader frowned, and then only heard a roar in the valley.

"kill--"

"Kill—" the voice was loud and loud, right at the front side, it was clear that there were many people in this voice, and there were dozens of people detected.

"If there really was an ambush, no wonder Mr. Anxiu walked so leisurely, it turns out there is someone behind—"

"Cultists, hurry up, we must catch the prince today—" the leader shouted loudly, and the sound of killing immediately overwhelmed the thick fog, and everyone rushed forward quickly.
