Chapter 58 Ambushed Again

  Zhang Cheng deeply understood the severity of the situation, brought people with him, one person two horses, horse and man did not rest, rushed to catch up.

  On the way to Xiliang, in the carriage, Huang Xiaoyu said worriedly to Erniang and Ling'er: "Jun has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet? Could something have happened?"

  Second daughter comforted her saying: "What could possibly happen? He has so many people following him, and along the way there are officials taking care of him, nothing will happen."

  Ling'er smiled and teased her, saying: "What's wrong, you miss Third Brother after just a short time apart?"

  She also smiled and joked with Ling'er, saying: "You're talking about others, but you can't even bear to be away from your brother Dài for a moment without missing him."

  At this time, Ma Dai's voice came from beside: "What are you muttering about, Ling'er?"

  "Shameless! A grown man sneaking around and eavesdropping on women's conversations."

  Ma Dai burst out laughing and shouted "Go!" as he whipped his horse and galloped away.

  Liu Yuan, the master of Qingfeng Mountain, finished reading the letter from Qin Feng and said to Hu Shang: "Qin Feng is my brother who roamed with me in those years, his affairs are my affairs. I will go down the mountain myself and meet my brother once."

  He summoned 300 strong men and followed Hu Shang to see Qin Feng.

  Seeing Qin Feng, they hadn't seen each other for over a decade, the two brothers warmly hugged and shed tears. Qin Feng introduced Zhang Wei to him, saying he had been persecuted by Zhuge Jun, Liu Yuan was indignant and said he would avenge him.

  Several people studied the plan of ambush, decided to use 120 archers to deal with Zhuge Jun, and immediately retreated after success. If the archer had not solved him, he would launch a strong attack.

  Qin Feng was familiar with the terrain and decided to ambush them on the Jiulongling mountain road.

  The team escorting Zhuge Jun, proceeding to the vicinity of Jiulong Ridge, King Wang, like all the complex terrain encountered along the way, dispatched a search party to scout ahead, and the main force proceeded slowly behind.

  Liu Yuan is an experienced leader who can lead the bandits from dozens of people to today's scale, and his bravery and wisdom are not for nothing. He predicted that the government troops would search in advance, so he hid his men about 100 meters away. The mountainside was densely covered with trees and grass, and the government troops only paid attention to the areas near the road, without discovering the ambush far away.

  After the search party passed by, Liu Yuan commanded his troops to rush towards the mountain path quickly. Although they acted secretly, it was difficult for hundreds of people to be silent, and when they were about to reach the mountain path, they were discovered by the soldiers of the search party and an alarm was sounded.

  Zhang Wei and Qin Feng ran ahead, they were to indicate the target for the archers. When the two desperately ran up the hillside and saw the troops below, they were both stunned: there was no sign of Zhuge Jun at all, he wasn't even riding a horse!

  Qin Feng suspected he might be hiding in a horse carriage, but there were over ten carriages at the foot of the mountain, which one was he on?

  The king of the royal guard received an alarm and immediately ordered his troops to form a battle array, preparing for a fierce fight.

  Liu Yuan saw that the two men were slow to give a signal and asked: "Which one is Zhuge Jun?"

  The two men looked at each other in dismay, unsure of how to respond. Qin Feng said, "Younger brother, he must be down below, let's go down the mountain and kill him, we won't have trouble finding him."

  Yuanshen saw that the flag of the troops at the foot of the mountain was different from that of the ordinary Shu army, and he recognized it as the banner of Liu Zhang's guard. He hesitated in his heart, thinking: "If we attack Liu Zhang's guard, we will provoke him, and if he sends a large army, it won't be a joke. It's not worth it for someone else." With this thought, he had the intention to retreat. He said: "Since we can't confirm that he is inside, these officers and soldiers are Liu Zhang's guards, we can't attack them, otherwise, it will be a huge trouble."

  Zhang Wei and Qin Feng also became somewhat urgent when they saw him say this. Qin Feng said: "Brother, this Zhuge Jun is evil to the core, if we don't get rid of him today, there won't be another chance in the future. Like this, whatever you lose, I'll compensate you 10 times over, just help your brother out this one time."

  Liu Yuan bit his teeth and ordered an attack, leading his men down the mountain.

  Zhuge Jun, hiding in the carriage, heard the commotion outside and was about to jump out when Liao Hong held him down firmly, advising: "Their target is you, you can't go out."

  Zhuge Jun hastily said: "How can I let brothers fight to the death for me, while I hide here?" He struggled to go out, but Liao Hong refused to let go.

  The bandits rushed down the mountain and clashed with the government soldiers. Although the bandits were numerous, Liu Zhang's guards were well-trained, and the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

  Zhuge Jian finally got rid of Liao Hong, swung his sword and killed the bandits, Liao's siblings hurriedly followed behind him, and the three of them were like mad tigers, the bandits couldn't withstand it, and in an instant six or seven of them fell down.

  Zhang Wei and Qin Feng finally found his trail, and hastily led the men to rush over. The martial arts of Zhuge Jun and Liao Shi brothers and sisters were above the two of them, and they quickly killed them back.

  At this time, the well-trained and united soldiers gradually showed their advantages, and soon took the upper hand. The bandits could not resist, and gradually collapsed.

  After a while, the bandits finally collapsed. Liu Yuan was the first to escape, and the bandits scattered in all directions. The Imperial Guards surrounded Zhang Wei, Qin Feng's gang, and the bandits who did not escape.

  At this moment, a team of horses rushed from behind, and Zhang Cheng arrived.

  Zhuge Jian knew the newcomer and thought to himself: "He has come at just the right time!"

  Helpless, he had no choice but to order Wang Jue to stop his personal soldiers.

  Zhang Cheng shouted at Zhang Wei: "You bastard, get over here!" Seeing him walk up, he kicked him to the ground and said: "Kneel down."

  Then he turned to Zhuge Jun, and when Zhuge Jun saw him like this, he walked over, with Liao Shi's siblings following closely behind.

  He walked up to Zhang Cheng, and before he could bow to him, Zhang Cheng spoke up: "I'm sorry, Xianzhi, it's all my fault for not teaching you properly, causing you so much trouble."

  Zhuge raised his hand, just about to pay his respects to him, when suddenly Zhang Wei stood up and snatched the sword from Zhang Cheng's hand, stabbing at him.
