NOVEL WEB Chapter 25 Encounter on the road
Late at night, everyone took a rest, and dozens of guards kept vigil around the bonfire.
Suddenly, there was a sound of weapons being exchanged and the sound of fierce fighting coming from deep in the forest.
The soldiers lying around the carriage suddenly woke up. The soldiers quickly stood up, arranged themselves in formation, and their relaxed aura changed. They clenched their weapons and stared ahead.
Li Yuan in the carriage was also awakened. Fan Jianqiang, who had already stood up and gripped the weapon in his hand, quickly came to the carriage and said to Li Yuan:
"Your Highness, would you like to send someone to take a look?"
Li Yuan glanced at Mr. Jiang who was sitting leisurely next to him, nodded and said:
"Go!"
After receiving the order, Fan Qiangqiang waved to the team leader next to him. He immediately understood and led a small team into the woods to explore.
Fan Jianqiang waved, and the soldiers scattered around immediately surrounded the carriage, with bright eyes in their resolute faces, staring ahead, and tensing up their bodies in a posture ready to attack at any time.
After a while, the fighting stopped.
But soon the fighting became louder!
Fan Jianqiang's face condensed. This was the sound of the teams being sent to fight, but he could feel that the battle was getting closer and closer, and their strength was not strong.
"go!"
Fan Jianqiang issued the order again, and the two groups of soldiers quickly rushed into the woods and picked up the soldiers in front.
There are dense forests all around. You are not allowed to attack at will under unknown circumstances. The main purpose is to protect His Highness.
Soon, leaves and trees were flying in the woods. The soldiers previously sent out one by one, quickly came to the waiting team, looking towards the jungle.
Bang! Bang!
In addition to them, a squad leader was followed by seven or eight people. The most conspicuous one was a young woman with an extremely delicate appearance, extremely pale face, and her clothes were dirty. Beside her was a young man in his twenties. Years old, early acquired cultivation, with a delicate face, scars all over his body, and bleeding, holding a seriously injured middle-aged man in his arms, looking ahead with hatred in his eyes, and the seriously injured middle-aged man still had a little breath left, There were four scarred guards guarding them closely.
In less than two breaths, enemies in the jungle kept jumping out. After a while, more than thirty warriors gathered on the lawn in front.
When these warriors saw the spears in the hands of hundreds of soldiers, their cold eyes looking directly at them, their faces turned pale, and their original murderous intent turned into fear.
For a moment, everyone was quiet and stared at each other, except for the continuous sound of the bonfire.
The leader of this group of warriors was a middle-aged man in front, with a gloomy face. He watched the soldiers surrounding the luxurious carriage in the center, and it was obvious that he had met a big shot.
At this time, the leader Yang Tong kept scolding his mother in his heart. This group of trash could not be caught even by more than fifty people and a dozen people who escaped from the Zhou family.
In the past ten days, there has been a continuous pursuit from Lingzhou to now, with some casualties on both sides.
Seizing the opportunity tonight, he ambush them on the road they must pass, seriously injuring the strongest member of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuan, who possesses the peak innate cultivation level. He is about to complete the task assigned by the family leader, and when the time comes, the young master and eldest son of the Zhou family will be killed. If the young lady is handed over and appreciated by the head of the family, she will be able to continue to be promoted and given resources to make herself stronger. In the end, she may not be able to marry a direct lady of the Meng family and reach a peak that ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime.
But all these dreams were shattered. The more Yang Tong looked at his group of trash, the angrier he became. Then he looked at Li Yuan and his group, feeling cold in his heart.
They could have surrounded and killed the Zhou family, but they didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Zhou family, who was ordinary along the way, had tricked them into escaping the encirclement.
After arresting them one after another, just when they were about to succeed again, the eldest lady of the Zhou family suddenly said "take action"!
Yang Tong and others immediately discovered that there was a group of people hiding in front of them. They thought it was the Zhou family's support and started to attack indiscriminately. Although they said something during the battle, Yang Tong didn't care about such things.
There were only a dozen people on the other side, with only one late-stage Xiantian cultivation level, and a dozen martial arts realm subordinates. Regardless of whether they were supported by the Zhou family or not, they were killed together with the Zhou family according to the habit of silencing them.
But I didn't expect that the opponent's strength was something, and not only the leader of the late innate stage blocked his peak innate strength.
The martial arts realm men under him can all fight one against two at the same level, and can even cooperate in cross-level challenges.
More than forty people can't hold down a dozen people, what a bunch of damn losers!
Of course, this Yang Tong didn't consciously realize his own problem. A master with peak innate talent couldn't defeat someone with late innate talent!
When Yang Tong came to the bright lawn and saw these people, he realized that the people who had just fought in the dense forest were soldiers!
What a momentary misstep!
When they got here, Yang Tong felt even more regretful.
How could these people be the support of the Zhou family!
Why didn't I listen to what the captain said at that time?
When Yang Tong thought of this, he saw the person opposite him staring at him eagerly, almost crying without tears. If he was given another chance, I would definitely tell him in a nice voice.
"Please give way, please..."
Suddenly, Yang Tong's arrogant face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he cupped his hands and said:
"I don't know which gentleman has been disturbed. This is a misunderstanding. Yang Tong, the manager of the Meng family in Lingzhou, for the sake of the Meng family, let us go. We will prepare for it when we return to the Meng family later. How about a generous apology?
If you are far away from here, I can still send someone to deliver the gift. As long as you give me an address, I guarantee that it will be delivered within three days. "
Yang Tong smiled humbly, hoping that the other side would know about the Meng family in Lingzhou and let him go for the sake of the Meng family.
When she heard that she was from the Meng family in Lingzhou, Chu Qingyan had a murderous intent in her eyes. She walked out and pointed coldly:
"Lingzhou Meng family, go and kill them all!"
Yang Tong and others were shocked when they heard this. They clenched their weapons and immediately wanted to run away, but they found that none of the soldiers took action.
Seeing that Fan Jianqiang and others were unmoved, Chu Qingyan looked a little embarrassed, so she naturally retracted her fingers and said to Li Yuan:
"The Lingzhou Meng family is the Ximen family's most loyal lackeys!"
At this time, Li Yuan stepped out of the carriage and stood on the carriage frame.
The eldest lady of the Zhou family had just been observing the situation of these soldiers without revealing any trace. When she saw a handsome young man standing up, she immediately knew that he was the leader of these people.
Looking at the frightened Yang Tong across from him, he glared hard and gritted his teeth and said:
"Thank you for saving our lives just now. The Meng family captured us for a treasure. If our benefactor saves our lives again, we are willing to dedicate Tian Long's treasure to our benefactor!"
When Li Yuan heard the woman dedicating the treasure to him, his heart moved. Although he didn't know what the Tianlong treasure was, the Meng family in Lingzhou belonged to the top power among the three major powers. There must be rich treasures that they valued, which was perfect for someone like him. A handsome boy with no money.
