Chapter Nineteen: Ambush

  "Hahaha, finally came out, this time see you also have no life to go back." Ma Shu Ying held the intelligence in his hand and laughed wildly.

  "Big brother, what's got you so excited? Come on, tell your little brother all about it." A tall and handsome man walked in with a smile.

  "Second brother, the wolf is finally going out, this time we must kill him." Ma Shu Ying waved the emotional report in her hand.

  Ma Ke took over the intelligence from Ma Shu Ying's hand and asked after a glance: "Is this message certain?"

  "Second brother, rest assured, this news is absolutely true. By the way, what's that old guy Ma Zhongwei doing now?" Ma Shuying suddenly asked.

  "He? Hmph, still thinking of ways to win over Father and collude with that despicable Liao Wang, and has connections with many people in the clan." Ma He said.

  "Hmph, that ignorant old man, after dealing with the wolf this time, I'll thoroughly deal with him." Ma Shu-ying coldly snorted.

  "Big brother, this time let me handle the wolf extermination, I'll bring my personal guard." Ma He said.

  "It can be done, but your personal guard has only two thousand men. I'll give you another thousand iron cavalry." Ma Shu-ying said.

  Ma Che frowned, "Big brother, are you looking down on me? The Liao King's personal guard has only a thousand men, and it's impossible for him to bring all of them when he goes out. Can't my two thousand cavalry defeat his less than one thousand?"

  "What, you think I don't know about Second Brother's divine military prowess? I had you bring an extra thousand iron cavalry just in case, to prevent the Sea Clan from intercepting the enemy's reinforcements." Ma Shu Ying's eyes flashed with a cold light as he explained expressionlessly.

  ……

  The next day at dawn, Yang Chengfeng took Ye Er and Han Shuxiao under the protection of the 500 Imperial Guards and marched out of the city in a grand manner.

  Wuwei has many landscapes, such as Qinghai Lake in the southwest of Wuwei. Although they are not comparable to the scenery of Jiangnan, they have formed a unique landscape in Northwest China. To the north of Wuwei is the famous Narati Grassland.

  The Narati Grassland is located on the northern slope of Mount Narati, and is a mid-mountain grassland. To the southeast, it adjoins the Narati Ridge, forming a screen-like barrier, while to the northwest, it borders the upper reaches of the Gongnaisi River valley, with a large area of sloping terrain, dense springs, and crisscrossing streams. The Narati Grassland is mainly composed of subalpine meadows, consisting of lush and colorful mid-mature grasses and cereals, including rough oat, feather grass, and other communities. Other main plants include millet, pampas grass, golden lotus, scallions, wild rye, false water chestnut, and gentian. The Narati Grassland is home to a large number of grassland people, who enter the area in June each year with their livestock, marking the beginning of the grassland's golden season. Various gatherings of the grassland people are often held during this time.

  The famous Ma's Ranch is located on the Nalat Grassland, and it is very large, occupying almost one-fifth of the entire grassland. With the elite Ma's Cavalry, the entire Nalat Grassland is almost under the control of the Ma family. This time, Yang Chengfeng brought Ye Er and Han Shuxiao to the place they were going to tread on the green, which was the Nalat Grassland controlled by the Ma family.

  "Your Highness, will we be in danger if we go to the Narati Grassland?" Shen Yuehua, the leader of Yang Chengfeng's personal guard, couldn't help but ask with concern when he heard that Yang Chengfeng was going to the Narati Grassland.

  "It's nothing." Yang Chengfeng waved his hand and said.

  Yang Chengfeng knew that taking so many people to the Narati Grassland was a dangerous thing, but in order to deal with the Ma family, he had no choice. According to intelligence, the two brothers Ma Shuying and Ma Zhongwei, who controlled the Ma family army, were now opposing Ma Zhongwei everywhere, sabotaging Ma Zhongwei's cooperative projects, which Yang Chengfeng could not tolerate.

  This time going to Narati grassland is to lure the snake out of its hole. If Ma Shu Ying brothers can't bear it and take action against him, he will have an excuse to attack the Ma family. Last night, Yang Chengfeng had secretly assembled 5,000 light cavalry in a valley next to Narati grassland, ready to strike at any moment. As long as Ma Shu Ying brothers dare to make a move, within one hour, 5,000 light cavalry can arrive on the scene.

  The sky is vast and wide, the fields are endless, the wind blows across the grassland, revealing cows and sheep.

  Yang Chengfeng rode horses with Ye Er and Han Shuxiao on the Narati grassland, the wilderness was filled with joyful laughter, as if all troubles had disappeared.

  "Yè ér, Shū Xiǎo, let's take a break and have something to eat first." Yáng Chéng Fēng said, looking at the sky which was almost noon, turning his head to Yè ér and Hán Shū Xiǎo.

  Ye Er and Han Shu Xiao, one was Yang Chengfeng's maid, the other was a young lady. They had never played so happily before, their faces filled with excited smiles. Hearing Yang Chengfeng's words, they turned around and said: "Really, Your Highness."

  Yang Chengfeng made a gesture and Shen Yuehua immediately arranged for the guards to set up camp on the spot and prepare food.

  "How was it? Did you have fun playing today?" Yang Chengfeng asked warmly, holding hands with the two girls.

  "En." The two girls nodded with red faces.

  Yang Chengfeng looked at the two shy girls with joy in his heart, especially Han Shuxiao, who was both talented and beautiful, gentle and considerate. "Shuxiao, who is your master?"

  "Huh?" Han Shuxiao was taken aback, looking at Yang Chengfeng in confusion.

  "I'd like to ask who exactly taught you to become such a talented and beautiful woman?" Yang Chengfeng repeated.

  "It's you, Yu." Han Shuxiao said with a flick of her eyes.

  "Is this the talented Miss Qing Xueyu?" Yang Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder, no wonder my humble wife's talent is so outstanding."

  "Your Highness, Xiangyu sister is still in Wuwei." Han Shuxiao said.

  Yang Chengfeng looked at Han Shuxiao, not understanding what she meant by her words.

  Han Shuxiao said one sentence and didn't say more, clever her really grasped the measure.

  "Dong dong dong dong" a dull sound rang out, Yang Chengfeng's face changed color.

  "Enemy attack!" Just then, Shen Yuehua's sharp voice rang out, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard immediately put down what they were doing, drew their weapons and coldly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

  What has come finally arrived. Yang Chengfeng's gaze swept across the northwest sky, a black line appeared from afar, his face calm.

  "Your Highness, you should retreat first! I have men here who will absolutely not let the enemy break through our defenses." Shen Yuehua hastily said as he arrived at Yang Chengfeng's side.

  Yang Chengfeng looked at him calmly and said, "Are you sure there are no other enemies besides these people?"

  Shen Yuehua was taken aback, yes, if there were other enemies besides these cavalrymen, breaking through might not be safe either.

  "Prepare for battle, let those who underestimate us pay the price." Yang Cheng's cold command.

  "Yes, Your Highness."

  Yang Chengfeng turned his head and looked at Ye Er and Han Shuxiao, who were pale-faced, and smiled: "What's wrong, are you scared?"
