After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 522 Lord Hu, Don't Rush

Therefore, when resting in the wild at night, one must not only guard against people robbing and murdering, but also against wild animals that roam at night.

Therefore, people who are traveling usually find a place to rest at night. Almost no one dares to sleep directly in the wild.

The soldiers exchanged glances, their swords itching to be drawn; whoever killed the Prime Minister would be a hero.

Promotion and rank are just around the corner.

Suddenly, the hidden guards who had been lying in ambush in the mountains rushed out and surrounded them.

The soldiers suddenly gave up resistance, threw their weapons on the ground, and squatted down with their hands on their heads.

Only Pei Yuanjun and a very few others remained standing on the field.

Those dozens of men were Hu Qingshan's confidants.

His expression was serious, and he became more vigilant as he watched the guards.

Hu Qingshan immediately stood in front of Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun paused, looking at Hu Qingshan with a strange expression.

It coldly swept over those who had given up resistance.

The guard's icy voice rang out: "Hu Qingshan, have you forgotten your master's orders? Get out of the way, or I'll kill you too!"

Hu Qingshan turned back and looked at Pei Yuanjun apologetically: "Prime Minister, I was ordered to kill you, but my family has received your kindness and cannot bear to see you die such a tragic death. I am prepared to protect you with my life and am willing to fight alongside you!"

The leader of the black-clad guards glared fiercely: "Then kill them all. Men, charge! The master wants him dead!"

Hu Qingshan then realized that the emperor did not trust him at all. The emperor had promised him a high-ranking official position and generous salary, and threatened his family only to get him to bring the prime minister over.

These five thousand soldiers were merely a pretext to reassure the Prime Minister and bring him to Black Dragon Mountain. The Emperor didn't care about their lives at all, and immediately addressed the soldiers who had dropped their weapons: "Everyone, get up and pick up your swords! You might still have a chance to live, otherwise we'll all die. The Emperor will never let us return to the capital alive!"

The soldiers were shocked. The soldier crouching at the front immediately reached for his sword, only to be mercilessly killed by the guards.

Pei Yuanjun looked on coldly, without any expression.

These people naively believed that Lou Chen wanted to kill even those who had helped him rise to power.

Let so many people know his dirty secrets? That's a joke.

The royal guards chopped off the soldiers' heads like slicing carrots.

Some people finally realized what was happening and drew their swords to fight back, and a fierce battle broke out.

The royal guards ruthlessly reaped lives, and these veterans, eliminated on the battlefield, were no match for them.

Hu Qingshan, his eyes bloodshot, was about to rush forward and fight them to the death, but Pei Yuanjun held him down with one hand: "Lord Hu, don't be hasty! You are no match for these people. Let's quickly hide in the tent; there are traps I had you set there!"

Hu Qingshan immediately recalled his dozens of brothers, who were his own troops, while the several thousand men behind them were temporarily recruited for him by Prince Zhao.

They had no fighting ability whatsoever. At the time, he thought the emperor had killed the prime minister, but he never expected that it was so that the royal guards could easily eliminate them after killing the prime minister.

The Emperor's real plan was to have these secret guards escort the envoys from the four countries back to the capital!
After figuring it out, Hu Qingshan was furious. He left these reckless people behind and followed Pei Yuanjun into the tent.

Behind the tent was a hidden cave that could hold dozens of people. It looked newly dug!
It seems they didn't notice there was a cave here?
The guards, seeing that Pei Yuanjun and the others had hidden themselves, immediately gave chase.

Hu Qingshan gripped his sword nervously. Just as they hid inside the tent, the guards attacked.
