Everyone was in high spirits because it was a rare occasion that the princess gave everyone a piece of dried meat, and added some wild vegetables picked from the surrounding area, plus enough salt and sugar. The aroma of the meat was much more fragrant than dry food.
The soldiers were already extremely hungry after traveling all the way, so when they saw the meat and vegetables, they began to eat with big mouthfuls. They chatted with each other about this and that, or boasted without thinking, and the atmosphere was very lively.
By the time it was midnight, the flames were extinguished and the entire team became quiet, leaving only thirty people on patrol, in groups of five, to prevent any accidents.
"I'm so sleepy... I want to sleep as soon as I'm full..."
"Who said it wasn't? There was so much dried meat today. I don't know what the wild vegetables were, but they were sweet and not bitter at all. Plus, they were filling, so everything tasted delicious. I could barely eat meat a few times a day in the capital, but I didn't expect to eat more on the road than in the capital."
"Oh, who says it's not..."
A few patrolmen were yawning and chatting.
I felt a little listless because I was so sleepy.
"Why don't you guys go to sleep first, I'll keep watch."
A short companion suddenly said.
"How can this be possible..."
"Hey, I can't sleep anyway, you can go to sleep first and then I can take over in the second half of the night."
"Yeah, if you're sleepy, why don't you go to bed!"
Another capable companion said.
After hearing their companions say this, the yawning people thought about it and realized it made sense. There weren't many people on the Great Plains anyway, so it would be the same if they just woke them up if something happened.
So he nodded, found a place to lean against and took a nap, and soon he started yawning.
Only the two of them were left staring at each other...with quite nervous expressions.
"Hey, you said..."
"Hush... Since we have all surrendered to the deputy general, don't think too much. The time should be up. Go out and get the burning branches to make gestures."
This happened to several patrol teams. For some reason, they felt particularly sleepy after eating. Since someone was guarding for them, they were happy to rest.
The quiet team began to stir, and under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, soon, figures came in quietly under the moonlight and moved towards the convoy.
Leading the way were the two deputy generals Liu Xun and Li Chang.
"Sir, please see...the previous agreement..."
"We only want the princess. Those gold, silver and treasures are external things. We don't need them."
The masked man in the lead waved his hand nonchalantly.
"By the way... have you given me all the medicine?"
"Don't worry, it's all down, sir."
Li Chang nodded quickly, but seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do with those soldiers..."
"killed!"
"Ah!?" Li Chang didn't expect this man to be so cruel. "So many people are you going to kill them? Aren't they unconscious? It won't be a problem then..."
"Why...you want to keep them alive? Don't you know you have to root them out?"
The low and hoarse voice carried a suppressive murderous intent. Liu Xun shuddered and laughed, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Haha, nothing, nothing..."
He had originally planned to gather some people and maybe become the king of the mountain in the future, but seeing the other party's behavior, he was afraid that it would not work.
Forget it, as long as you have money, everything is easy, as long as you have money, beautiful women
Ruyun, can't your subordinates recruit people however they want?
He had long been envious of the dozens of carriages at the back of the convoy. How much gold, silver and treasures would be needed to carry so many things? I was afraid that the things on any one of the carriages would be worth a fortune.
You have to know that this princess had received a lot of rewards from the person above. Those continuous rewards would probably make even the disciples from the aristocratic families quite jealous.
According to rumors, that person is going to move one-tenth of his private vault. That is his private vault, how many good things must be there.
It is said that money can understand people's hearts, so it is no wonder that the two of them started to have ideas.
In addition, there are people helping them behind the scenes and promising that all the things will belong to them. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good thing that is delivered to their doorstep?
Looking at the greedy gazes of the two men, the leading man sneered in his heart.
How childish, just for a little gold and silver, that person is the real treasure...
But... we should really cut the weeds at their roots...
The murderous intent gradually spread.
"Sir, I have arranged a few more people inside, you see..."
"I understand. I will let your people go..."
"That's good, my Lord."
Liu Xun chuckled, and Li Chang beside him also became excited, as long as tonight passed.
The three men each had their own thoughts, and two of them could no longer wait, so they hurriedly led a group of people behind them and headed towards the team in the dark.
"I have already drugged those soldiers, but those maids and servants might be a bit troublesome."
"It doesn't matter. Just kill them. They are just some defenseless sheep."
The man in black looked confident and waved behind him.
Canglang——
Under the dim moonlight, the knife shines brightly.
Just when the man in black was about to command everyone to charge in, at this moment, there was a loud bang, and dazzling flames rose up from all directions, illuminating everyone in an instant.
Under the flickering flames, there are hundreds of human figures.
"Oops!"
The man in black looked shocked, but at this moment a voice suddenly came out from the flames. It was Geng Hu.
"It's you, Liu Xun, Li Chang! You actually colluded with others!"
Geng Hu said angrily.
"How could that be! Didn't you take the medicine?!"
Liu Xun said in surprise.
"Medicine? Oh, I did take it, but luckily the princess is resourceful and has discovered your trick long ago, and the medicine has been removed long ago!"
Geng Hu waved his hand, and instantly more than a dozen tied figures were pushed out. They were all soldiers bribed by the two men.
"General Geng, I was wrong... I was really wrong!"
"It's my fault! I was bewitched by the devil. Please give us another chance!!"
There were constant cries for mercy, but Geng Hu remained calm. She looked at the princess standing beside her.
"Click——"
Blood splattered, accompanied by severe pain. Liu Xun and Li Chang secretly chopped at him, and saw a flash of silver passing through his chest.
"you……"
"Why--"
"Humph"
The man in black sneered as he suddenly drew out his knife and looked at the two people lying on the ground with their eyes open. He said, "If you can't handle the matter well, there's no point in saving your lives. You two are too greedy and afraid of death and are going to cause trouble later."
The man in black said disdainfully, then waved his hand.
"Fire arrows!"
In an instant, dozens of men in black appeared out of nowhere and emerged from the darkness, pointing arrows in their hands at the people with torches.
Geng Hu was shocked! There are actually archers!
"Abandon the torches! Quick, raise your shields and hide!"
Whizzing--
The men in black were not vague and fired a volley of shots at the team in an instant. Geng Hu never expected that these people were not ordinary thugs. They were fully equipped and had bows and arrows in their hands. He was panicked for a moment!
"Ah...my legs!"
"it hurts!"
"Quick, find something to hide behind, hide behind trees and rocks."
There was suddenly a panic all around, and Geng Hu hurriedly shouted to stabilize the morale of the army and told the soldiers not to get confused. With this shout, the originally panicked crowd began to calm down and organize themselves.
However, after a round of volleys, many people were still injured by arrows because they failed to dodge, and they kept wailing for a while.
And those bound traitors had already died with their eyes open after being shot through by the rain of swords.
Seeing these people trapped together, the man in black frowned slightly and waved his hand. The people behind him took their weapons and took a detour, heading directly towards the carriage where the large team was behind them. Their target was the princess.
Geng Hu saw this and quickly directed everyone
"Quick, protect the princess, don't let them get around!"
"Archery!"
However, at this moment, another round of arrows was fired. The hundred people were completely trapped in place by the arrows and could not make any big moves. Once they wanted to send people to protect themselves, the other side would fire another round of arrows!
When Geng Hu saw this, his eyes turned red!
"Thief! You are looking for death!"
As he said this, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed a corpse and used it as a shield. After knocking away the surrounding arrows, he slashed with a knife.
The knife flashed, and the sharp knife wind fell into the crowd with a whistling sound. The head was thrown high into the air, blood splattered, and several people were killed in an instant!
The archers were unable to dodge and their formation was in chaos. Seeing this, Geng Hu quickly ordered some people to protect the princess, and the other people followed him and rushed forward.
"kill!"
"Humph! You're looking for death! Come on!"
The man in black also led everyone to kill!
For a while, there were constant shouts and cries of killing, and the fallen torches also ignited the flames of the massacre. The flickering and surging flames bloomed to the extreme in the sparks of the collision of metal and iron.
The sound in front was so loud that even the team behind could hear it clearly, and the convoy became panicked for a moment.
"Princess, what should we do? The thieves are coming to kill us. How about we evacuate first?"
Yun Ling said anxiously, and the servants around the carriage were also a little panicked when they heard the shouting and killing in front, and they didn't know what to do.
They turned their eyes to the princess behind them, as if asking what to do next.
"Don't worry. Now, go and tell the servants and baggage behind you to retreat in an orderly manner. Circle together. Those who have weapons take them. Don't panic."
"Yes!"
"Yunling, go with them... and assist them."
"Then Princess, you..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, just go ahead..."
Keqing waved her hand, signaling her to hurry up. Seeing this, Yun Ling didn't say anything and quickly ran to the back while picking up her skirt.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only the restless snorting of the horse, and in my ears, I suddenly heard a rustling sound, which was the sound of a horse passing through the bushes.
"Are you here to find me?"
Looking at the several figures that suddenly jumped out, Keqing looked at them thoughtfully.
"Please don't make things difficult for us, my lord. If we surrender, our lives will be saved."
Chapter 534: Really Weak (3000) (1.5 more)
"Which family are you from? The Li family? The He family? Or the Si family?"
Keqing looked at the man in black inquiringly and asked in a low voice.
However, the men in black just looked at each other and did not answer. They seemed to see that Keqing was not going to surrender, so they quickly exchanged information with their eyes. The leader rushed forward with a flash of his figure.
He stretched out his hand, trying to catch Keqing so that he could finish the task early.
