Chapter 31 Attack

On one side of the official road was a dense forest covered with snow, and on the other side was a rushing river. The only sounds on the road were the dense sound of horse hooves and the rolling of wheels.

Suddenly, a not very obvious sound of a startled bird flapping its wings was heard in the forest.

"Whoa." Xifeng reined in his horse cautiously and raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

Traveling between the north and the south, it is common to encounter robbery, but in such freezing weather, there are often few people on the official road in a day. If there are robbers waiting here, I am afraid they will lose their lives before they get the fat sheep.

Moreover, with such a large battle, which ordinary mountain bandit would rob the court's soldiers?

As soon as Xifeng raised his hand, everyone surrounded the carriage in the center, while vigilantly paying attention to the movements around.

The horse paced restlessly in place, as if it had sensed the danger.

Deep in the forest, a man hid behind a tall rock: "It seems that I have been discovered, what should I do?"

What else can I do? After deploying for so long, if we don't give it a try, it will be even harder to take action after Xie Tingzhou returns to Beijing.

A masked man beside him had a fierce look in his eyes: "The further south we go, the flatter the terrain will be. If we don't take action here, we may not find such a good opportunity again. Wait until they go a little further before taking action."

A gust of wind blew, lifting the lower edge of the veil, revealing a shocking scar from the man's right face to his chin.

Except for the sound of the startled bird flapping its wings just now, there was no movement around.

Xifeng glanced around and turned back and said: "Maybe it's a flying bird. Let's go, be careful."

The team continued to move forward, and saw that the escort in front had turned the corner.

On the top of the mountain, the scarred man gritted his teeth and raised his hand: "Do it!"

"Boom--" a deafening explosion sounded.

Shen Yu lifted the curtain and suddenly raised her head. Snow and gravel fell from the mountain with a bang, and an overwhelming rain of arrows followed.

She heard Xi Feng shout, "Protect the prince!"

"Your Highness, sit tight." Shen Yu opened the door curtain without looking back.

Xie Tingzhou had already grasped the sword under the cushion, but he let go of it when he heard it, and then heard Shi Yu say in front, "Put on your clothes first."

He raised his eyebrows, very good, he didn't even call you Your Highness.

The speed of the carriage suddenly increased. As the curtain swayed, Xie Tingzhou saw that the original driver had gone somewhere, and the driver was replaced by Shi Yu.

Shen Yu swung her knife to cut off several feather arrows shot at her, and heard the dense "thump thump" sound behind her. Looking back, she saw that the carriage had been shot into a hedgehog.

There was another deafening sound, and a larger boulder rolled down from the mountain, blocking the way in the blink of an eye.

The carriage was pulled by four horses, and it was very fast. Shen Yu pulled the reins hard.

I felt that my bones were about to be broken by the reins, and the horse finally neighed and turned sharply.

The carriage suddenly swung toward the edge of the cliff, and there was a rapid current below. The two rear wheels were suspended in the air and passed by, and then fell back to the ground.

Xie Tingzhou was thrown hard in the carriage and hit the wall. Just as he stabilized his body, the carriage suddenly sped away and threw him behind again.

He held the window. If he hadn't been so strong, he would have kicked Shi Yu out of anger.

He had never seen a guard with such poor driving skills, and he volunteered to take him to escape.

Xie Tingzhou was convinced.

The sound of fighting outside was deafening, and Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain to take a look.

Many masked gangsters rushed down from the mountain. Judging from their skills, they were definitely not ordinary bandits.

The other party must have spent a lot of money, with a large number of people, and they were really brave. In addition to silencing Liang Jianfang, they also wanted his life.

Xie Tingzhou sneered, walked out of the carriage and stood beside Shen Yu, "I'll drive."

The main reason was that Shi Yu's driving skills were simply hard to describe. If the car continued to bump, he might even vomit his lunch.

"No, it's dangerous outside, you go in first." Shen Yu said, and then she drove while holding an assassin with a knife.

These people were all very skilled, and several of them surrounded the carriage and entangled her.

Shen Yu thought about it and threw the reins to Xie Tingzhou who did not leave.

This time she could finally let go and fight. She waved her long knife and quickly forced back the two people who attacked.

The swords met, and the long knife was cut with a gap.

Xie Tingzhou didn't seem to be nervous at all. He could look at her from time to time while driving.

"There is a knife under the cushion in the car."

Shen Yu threw the broken knife to force one person back, and quickly rolled into the car to pull out a knife from under the cushion.

Before he could see what kind of knife it was, he drew his knife and swung it. With a clang, the sword in the opponent's hand broke into two pieces.

The opponent was stunned, and Shen Yu was also stunned.

At a glance, he found that it was the thin red knife that Xie Tingzhou had wiped that day.

The knife was so thin and so sharp, it was indeed a good knife.

Weapons are an extension of hands and feet for warriors.

Getting a good weapon is like adding wings to a tiger.

Shen Yu killed happily, and became more and more courageous. He had already repelled more than a dozen people.

Another desperate person rushed up, and Shen Yu swung his knife and fought with the opponent for several moves. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and found a loophole in the opponent.

The thin knife passed through the air without leaving any wind sound, and the sword was about to cut the opponent's throat.

The man opened his eyes in despair, everything in front of him seemed to be slow motion, and he knew clearly that his body and head would be separated in an instant.

However, the knife suddenly moved away, taking the person holding the knife with him.

Shen Yu was even more shocked than that person. She felt the carriage suddenly shake and fall to one side. Her knife didn't hit anyone, but she almost fell off the carriage.

She looked back suddenly and found that the whole carriage had tilted off the mountain road, with four wheels almost hanging outside. Only a few horses were still struggling to drag the carriage back to the original place.

She finally saw another expression on the calm face of Xie Tingzhou.

He frowned slightly, seemed a little distressed, raised the whip and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse felt pain and worked harder, kicking its hind hooves.

Just as the carriage was about to be dragged up, who knew that the horse in front suddenly neighed in pain and fell to the ground, with a knife wound on its neck.

Without the pulling force of a horse, the carriage slid back again.

Shen Yu thought that she could not count on the carriage anymore.

As long as she pointed her toes, she could climb up.

She stretched out her hand to Xie Tingzhou, "Your Highness, hold my hand, I will take you up."

Xie Tingzhou was stunned and took a look at the hand she stretched out.

Such a small hand, thin arms and legs, still want to pull himself?

He threw away the whip and prepared to get on by himself.

Seeing that the cart could no longer hold, Shen Yu saw that he was still calm, so she stepped forward and prepared to hug him and abduct him.

Who knew that at the same time as she moved, Xie Tingzhou also moved.

He stepped on the shaft of the cart and jumped, and the two of them immediately collided with each other. As they looked at each other in shock, they fell into the rapids at the same time.

Shen Yu had only two words in her mind.

Fuck!
