Beside Changsun Wuji, Zhu Zhuzhu said respectfully.
Changsun Wuji didn't say a word, and immediately dismounted and walked.
But the road under his feet was bumpy, and he stepped on the outside, and his center of gravity suddenly became unstable.
Fortunately, he is also experienced in many battles and has good skills. He stabilized his figure in an instant and did not fall.
"Boost!"
Looking at the dense forest overgrown with thorns in front of him, Changsun Wuji frowned.
This time, he was fully prepared.
He calculated that the most suitable place for the assassination on this road was the Shuangfeng Ridge not far ahead.
And he sent a team of people to follow the official path.
He himself led hundreds of elites, using the jungle to hide and advance secretly.
No one could have imagined that he was not in the carriage on the official road, but was already approaching Shuangfeng Ridge.
As long as he takes advantage of the terrain of Shuangfeng Ridge in advance and hides in the dark.
Once Li Xiao's people come to assassinate, he can lead hundreds of elites to fight out, forming a siege to Li Xiao's people, and then wipe them all out.
What he didn't expect was that, not to mention the rugged roads in the forest, there were also countless thorns and vines.
As a result, his speed was affected.
But in order to seize the opportunity, he had no choice but to speed up and speed up.
But the consequence of this was that all of them were scratched to varying degrees.
Many people have seen blood.
Occasionally, some snakes, rats, insects and ants appeared again, which made them even more miserable.
I don't know how long has passed.
"arrive!"
"My lord, Shuangfeng Ridge is ahead!"
The person in front suddenly shouted excitedly.
Changsun Wuji looked at his tattered clothes, and regretted that he was wearing ordinary clothes instead of armor.
"Seize the high place and hide, no one will be exposed without my order!" Changsun Wuji shouted.
"Yes!"
The sergeant in front responded.
But the next moment——
"There are enemies!"
"Get ready to fight!"
The former army immediately shouted.
"what happened?"
Changsun Wuji frowned suddenly and quickened his pace.
Not long after, follow Changsun Wuji forward.
He found that his people seemed to be confronting someone.
Squeezing through the crowd, Changsun Wuji looked over.
The next moment, he widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Why are you here?"
Chapter 174: Your Highness's fish, have you taken the bait?
Under Shuangfengling, there is a large pool.
At this moment, Li Xiao, with several guards, was leisurely leaning on the grand master's chair.
On the side table, there are also fruits and snacks.
And Li Xiao kept his eyes on the water.
Beside him, the guard held the fishing rod tightly and remained motionless.
Looking at this posture, it seems to be fishing.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji pushed aside the crowd, and when he saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Li Xiao! Why are you here?"
He never expected to meet Li Xiao here.
He was moving forward in secret, and he was tossed about by thorns and vines all the way.
The purpose is to hide his whereabouts.
But all these efforts seemed to be in vain.
Not only did Li Xiao know his whereabouts, but he was also waiting here early.
Faced with Changsun Wuji's question, Li Xiao stared at the water surface intently and ignored him.
"Come on!"
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji suddenly thought of something, and ordered with a gloomy face, "Look around and see if there are a large number of ambushes."
"Yes!"
Li Xiao remained silent until the people he sent left.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji thought for a while, his face returned to calm, he clasped his fists to Li Xiao and asked, "I don't know what your Highness King Yue is doing to stop this old man?"
By the pool.
"do not move!"
Li Xiao pressed the guard's hand nervously, and said in a low voice, "Have you ever caught a fish? Just move the fish and it will run away!"
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji's face darkened suddenly.
He clasped his fists again and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yue!"
"Don't make noise! Didn't you see you were fishing?" Li Xiao said without turning his head.
After finishing speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Changsun Wuji, and then said with a look of surprise: "Master Changsun? Why are you dressed like a beggar?"
"Uh... No! Why are you here?"
"I would like to ask Your Highness about this."
Changsun Wuji looked at the dozen or so guards around Li Xiao.
"Isn't this fishing here? It's hard to understand?" Li Xiao looked surprised.
"Then..." Changsun Wuji asked in a deep voice, "Did your Highness's fish take the bait?"
At this moment, the fishing rod in the guard's hand shook, and a small fish was pulled out from the water.
Li Xiao looked happy, and put the fish into the fishing basket next to him.
"My eldest grandson is my lucky star!"
"I've been fishing here for several hours, and I haven't seen any fish take the bait. You see, the fish bite the bait as soon as you come."
Li Xiao laughed.
Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Then what is His Highness going to do with this fish?"
"What else can I do? Of course I eat it!" Li Xiao said.
As soon as this word comes out.
Changsun Wuji immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness's appetite is too big... Although the fishbone is small, it can still kill you."
Not only him, but the guards beside Changsun Wuji all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Eating a fish and getting stuck by a thorn, you are so useless as a king?" Li Xiao's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"If there's any ambush, just bring your horse over here!" Changsun Wuji said solemnly, "I have hundreds of people here, all of whom are elites. As long as one of them leaves, you won't be able to escape."
After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered the guards behind him: "Everyone, get ready to fight!"
At this moment, the atmosphere is extremely tense.
Both sides are at war, ready to fight at any time.
Changsun Wuji obviously prepared for the worst.
He knew that since Li Xiao knew his whereabouts, he must have set up an ambush here.
Even with hundreds of elites around him, he still doesn't feel the slightest sense of security.
Because of this information, Li Xiao also knew.
He didn't expect that he would still fall into Li Xiao's trap despite all his calculations.
Just when Changsun Wuji was about to start a fight, Li Xiao on the opposite side said with a puzzled face: "Changsun Wuji, do you want to rebel? Dare to take action against this king?"
"If you don't make a move, will you let His Highness slaughter you?" Changsun Wuji sneered again and again.
"What slaughter?"
Li Xiao looked confused: "What are you talking about?"
"I'm fishing well here. What's your intention when you suddenly rush over and say something inexplicable?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was immediately confused, and he said with a look of surprise: "Your Highness came here only for fishing?"
"if not?"
Li Xiao suddenly showed a dazed look: "Oh... I finally understand, Master Changsun is here for this king. I didn't expect you to have a spy by my side."
"Protect Your Highness!" Zhao Yuntian called out at the right time.
Hou's guards all stood in front of Li Xiao.
"It's you with me..."
Li Xiao interrupted Changsun Wuji's words with a solemn expression.
"You are so deliberate, after learning of the king's whereabouts, did you bring someone here to assassinate the king? Are you not afraid that the matter will be revealed and my father will find out?"
At this time, a guard behind Changsun Wuji came to report.
"My lord, no ambushes were found around."
Hear this.
Changsun Wuji was really confused.
What is going on here?
If it is said that Li Xiao was fishing here by chance, he would not believe it.
But if Li Xiao came after him, why did he only bring a dozen people with him?
Just the few guards around Li Xiao, hundreds of people behind him can completely wipe out Li Xiao and his party here in a crushing manner.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's eyes froze.
He was really moved to kill.
No matter what the purpose of Li Xiao's trip was, there were no ambushes around.
In other words, besides his hundreds of confidants, there are only a dozen people like Li Xiao.
kill?
Still don't kill?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Changsun Wuji had a hard time making a choice.
"Changsun Wuji, this king warns you not to mess around!"
