From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 70
In the middle of the afternoon, the prince and his party came to Yixiantian, looking at the narrow and narrow sky, the prince's guard Lin Changmao said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is easy to set up an ambush here, why not send someone to investigate first."

The prince of the world has been very careful since he entered the first-line sky, especially the bandits here are rampant and even dare to rob the government's carriage.Moreover, the bandits were suppressed many times, but the three caves of the cunning rabbit were born again in a short time.Therefore, the prince ordered very cautiously: "Two people go together in groups, and if there is anything abnormal, immediately use fireworks as a warning."

There is no big mistake in being careful, not to mention how many people want him to die, both openly and secretly.So, be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful!
Lin Changmao took the order, waved his hands and ordered his men to explore the way.A group of two, a group of ten people, went to see the left, right, front, back, and even the top of the mountain.There was no one there, and there was not even a ghost in sight except for the whistling wind.

Guessing that he has a large number of people, the bandits are afraid to attack easily, let alone provoke the imperial power. After hearing the report, the prince was relieved, looked up at the towering mountain top and said: "If it is safe, then hurry up!" Let’s go to the city before dark, rest overnight and leave tomorrow morning.”

Unlike Mei Xin, the prince would not travel at night for his own safety, even though he was in a hurry to return to Beijing to return to his command, he did not dare to travel at night.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lin Changmao took the order, and after saluting, he waved his confidant to lead the battle.

Five people lined up in a row, and the accompanying guards surrounded the prince.

King Ping didn't move forward at all, seeing this posture, he deliberately distanced himself from the prince.Ten days ago, he bought the murderous desire to kill the prince, and when he heard that there was not even a ghost in this place, he immediately turned his head to look at his follower Zhang Da.Asking with his eyes, Zhang Da didn't know very well, but the money has already been given, so it is impossible that there is no one.

"Jingfengtang has collected the money, so it is absolutely impossible not to do something, maybe it is not here, please rest assured, my lord!" He lowered his voice so softly that Zhang Da was afraid that others would hear him, and his eyes rolled wildly when he said it .

Speaking of Jingfengtang, it is also a well-known killer organization in the Jianghu. It doesn't matter where it comes from or who it is. As long as the money is enough, the king and I will dare to kill.

There is still a long way to go back to Beijing, but there is only one natural barrier, guessing that they might not be ambushing here, King Ping made a gloomy face and did not say a word.Xindao, such a good opportunity can be said to be at the right time and place, and by the way, it can be planted by the bandits. They didn't come, they are really stupid as pigs, so stupid.

Because they had already explored the road and made sure there was no danger, the prince and his guards took the lead, and the sitting Qianliju ran fast, trying to cross the sky at the fastest speed.

Fearing that the prince would suspect King Ping, he didn't dare to fall behind too much, so he immediately followed.Walking halfway, right in the middle of a line of sky, a big rock fell from the sky with a bang.

"Your Highness, hide quickly, back, back!" Lin Changmao, who was the first to react, turned his horse's head and ran back, but before he could run, another stone fell from his head.One after another, one after another, stones of different sizes rained down along a long and narrow line.

As the stone fell, the horse neighed and screamed, and the team that had been orderly just now fell into chaos.Lin Changmao wanted to get close to the prince and protect him, but his horse was frightened and would not obey him at all.Unable to make it through, and unable to take care of himself, he shouted again in a panic: "There are assassins, everyone protects His Highness, protect..."

Before he finished speaking, a cloud-piercing arrow hit his head, hit the bull's-eye, passed across, and Zhang Da fell down with a muffled grunt.

The prince was shocked and immediately drew his sword, but there were too many stones falling from the mountainside.After a while, the front and back roads were blocked, and a group of them died, were injured, and were blocked in the middle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, King Ping took advantage of the chaos and ran desperately, running backwards.I thought it was someone from Jingfengtang who came to kill the prince, but who would have thought that just as he ran out of Shiyu's range, a knife was quietly placed on his neck.

His heart was shocked, he was so shocked that he almost fainted, he was about to yell, but he was knocked out before he even opened his mouth.In the next second, the knife-wielding man appeared, with half of his face covered, short and thin, looking like a man, but his eyes were particularly watery.

Looking around and seeing that no one noticed this side, he bowed his head and grabbed Ping Wang's feet with one hand and dragged him to a corner.First, he sealed the big holes all over his body, and then took out the dagger hidden in his arms, and quickly slashed three times.Two cuts accurately severed his hamstrings, and the other cut directly turned him into a eunuch.

The pain was piercing to the bone marrow, and Ping Wang, who was knocked out, woke up instantly.But because his dumb acupoint was sealed in advance, he just grimaced in pain but didn't make a sound.

At this time, there was a lot of killing, and a group of bandits known as the heroes of the green forest appeared.The stones on the mountainside fell, and they came from all directions.The blood will be seen immediately when the soldiers meet in hand-to-hand combat, and the bandits come prepared like tigers and like broken bamboos.

The task was completed, and he took advantage of the chaos to leave, but the man who abolished King Ping did not leave, but went in the direction where the prince was.

Maybe it was too painful, the pain was unbearable, not long after King Ping passed out, and when he was discovered by the guards, it was already a stick of incense.

Not knowing that the bandits were so rampant and powerful, the guards of the capital who had never seen blood were terrified.One by one, he hacked like a soft-footed shrimp, without any rules, Zhang Da was even more so, he was so embarrassed that he almost cried.

Seeing King Ping lying motionless on the ground with blood on his body, Zhang Da was terrified. He didn't care to see if the prince was dead, so he jumped on the horse and ran away with King Ping in his arms.

After collecting the money, the killer from Jingfengtang also appeared in the chaos, directly attacking the prince and trying to take his life.But fortunately, Mei Xin had already made arrangements, and there was only one killer. The thin, short man rescued him, and put a knife in the horse's ass, and the horse ran away with the prince madly. .

Compared with Prince Ping, the life of the future prince is naturally more important. Therefore, when the prince ran away, all the surviving guards chased after him, and went all out to fight a bloody path to escort him away.

It was getting cold, and the bandits came out for money and to survive the winter, so they came back without chasing them far.After counting the weapons, he took back the two carts of presents that the crown prince had brought to the emperor and the ladies, and by the way, searched the purses and silver from the dead bodies.
