Phoenix City Ambush

  Seeking gold medals, seeking collections, seeking recommendations, seeking clicks, seeking comments, seeking red envelopes, seeking gifts, all kinds of requests, whatever you want, just throw it over!

  After the carriage team of Prince Pingyang left Fengyang City, they walked on the spacious road to Phoenix Capital. There were more than 20 people in this team. Wu Yue and Wu Yi, two expressionless generals, rode horses at the front. Except for a few people sitting in the carriage they escorted, the rest were all guards from the prince's mansion.

  They moved slowly forward, and at a time when the wind was calm and peaceful, their horses suddenly stopped, and they felt a gust of cold wind sweeping in. Suddenly, more than ten people wearing black clothes and masks jumped down from the trees nearby.

  "Drive safely!"

  Wu Yue swiftly drew his sword from his waist and leapt off the horse, striking back at the black-clad man who was charging towards the carriage with a fierce blow.

  The whole field fell into chaos, with murderous intent rising everywhere. The sound of clashing swords and knives was particularly jarring in this spacious forest.

  With a soft "hiss" sound, Wu Yi drew his sword. The black-clad man rushing towards him hadn't even seen the movement of his sword before he felt a pause in the motion of his own raised sword. Then, a blood spot appeared on his forehead, which gradually grew larger as blood gushed out, and his body fell to the ground.

  At this moment, the two black-clad men who had been hiding behind him quickly pushed through the crowd and stood on either side of the carriage, holding up their sharp knives that glinted with cold light. They stabbed fiercely into the carriage and then used force to flip it over. The wooden boards on both sides of the carriage were lifted open, but inside was empty and devoid of people.

  "Not good, this is a trick to lure the tiger away from its mountain, retreat!" One of the men in black sensed something was off and immediately called out to his surviving brothers to quickly withdraw. Wu Yue and the others did not continue to pursue them either, standing on the scene watching those people leave.

  "Big brother, it seems that Su Yaoguang was right, there's an ambush here." Wu Yi shook off the blood on his sword and put it back, then came to Wu Yue's side.

  Wu Yue didn't say a word, he lowered his head and took a glance at the ground below where the bodies had disappeared without knowing when, leaving only a few tattered clothes behind. In fact, he had already figured out that those people were assassins with high martial arts skills and ruthless moves, definitely from some dark organization or evil sect. If it wasn't for that girl telling them to prepare to split into two teams earlier, they would have lost lives by now.

  On the other side

  Su Ya and they rode in the carriage had gone very far away from Fengcheng City.

  As this trip was a secret one, Prince Pingyang did not follow them, but instead sent Liu Gonggong to escort them to the imperial palace. In order to avoid drawing attention, they disguised themselves as a merchant group. Liu Gonggong and his men changed into plain clothes and kept a low profile, fearing that they might leave any traces behind.

  It will take several more days to reach Fengdu, and Su Yao doesn't know how the team that escorted them is doing now, or if they encountered any accidents along the way. But she just hopes that this team of people can arrive at their destination safely.

  "Shixiong, what's wrong?" Suddenly, Ling'er's exclamation beside him made Su Yao withdraw her gaze from the scenery outside the car window.

  Nie Lang was curled up in a corner, his face twisted in pain. Su Yao immediately walked over and looked at the wound on his shoulder, only to find that the rotting area had started to spread again. She quickly pointed her fingers and slowly injected white light into his body. Gradually, the pain on Nie Lang's face began to subside.

  "Thank you, Su Yao." He looked at her and said with difficulty.

  Su Yao withdrew her hand and said: "It's not far from the first month, Ling'er, take care of your Shixiong, I'll let Lord Liu hurry to Fengdu."

  Before Nie Lang could say anything, Su Yao had already taken out a black veil from her body that the queen had prepared for her to cover her face, and after covering her face, she walked out of the carriage.

  Nie Lang was helped up by a gentle soul beside him, and he looked up at the white figure in front of him who was talking to Liu Daren outside. Suddenly, a strange and inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, warm and long-forgotten...
