The next morning.

Su Qingjue and the King of Shu rode in the same carriage, slowly moving along the official road outside Fengxiang City towards the direction of Shu.

a long time.

The convoy stopped thirty miles outside Fengxiang City, where Su Qingjue met the King of Shu.

The two men got off the carriage, and Meng Zhixiang saluted towards Su Qingjue and said:

"Thank you, General, for sending me here. If you can come to visit Shu Kingdom someday, I will treat you with the highest courtesy!"

Although the King of Shu was the ruler of a country, he did not dare to put on airs when facing Su Qingjue.

From the beginning to the end, I referred to myself as "I" instead of "this king".

"This is what I should do. After receiving the letter, the King of Shu was able to come to my Qi Kingdom from afar to discuss the attack on Liang. I am grateful and should treat him with courtesy."

"It's a pity that the King of Shu couldn't stay a few more days so that I could fulfill my hospitality..."

Su Qingjue showed a look of regret.

"I appreciate the general's kindness, but the country cannot be without a leader for a day. I am afraid that disasters may happen if I am not in Shu. I hope the general will forgive me!"

Hearing this, Su Qingjue smiled and said, "In that case, I won't try to persuade you to stay any longer!"

"After sending you a thousand miles away, we must part ways, King Shu, we will meet again!"

Meng Zhixiang clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye!"

Having said that, he returned to the carriage and ordered his men to continue on their journey.

Su Qingjue stood there, looking at the departing convoy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Not far behind them, a spy from the Tongwenguan quickly passed the news to Li Cunren by means of a carrier pigeon.

Li Cunren chuckled after receiving the news.

"laugh!"

"As I expected, the two have already separated. It seems that the King of Shu is destined to die here."

Li Cunren looked at the other members of the Shang organization and spoke in a low voice.

"The prey is about to appear, so cheer up."

"..."

now.

Li Cunren and Shang organized a few people and were lying in ambush in a valley.

There are towering mountains on both sides of this valley, and the road is rugged and difficult to travel. It is the only way for the King of Shu to return to his country, and it is also the best place for them to assassinate the King of Shu.

In order to ensure that the assassination of the King of Shu would be foolproof, Li Cunren also sent people to place huge rocks on both sides of the valley.

As long as the King of Shu arrives here, she will give an order and the huge rocks will roll down and cause severe damage to the King of Shu's convoy.

By then, it would be easy to take the head of the King of Shu.

I have to say that Li Cunren’s idea is very good.

If nothing unexpected happens, with the strength of her and Shang's organization, it would be easy to kill the King of Shu.

It was precisely because King Li Keyong of Jin was impressed by the strength of Li Cunren and others that he sent them to carry out the assassination mission.

Unfortunately, Li Keyong never expected that his plan would coincide with Su Qingjue's plan.

What is even more coincidental is that the place where Xu Ziwei and others set up an ambush also coincided with the place where Li Cunren and others ambushed.

The two groups hid not far from each other on both sides of the valley.

They did not notice each other and were patiently waiting for the arrival of the King of Shu.

"......"

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the woods in front of the valley.

The next moment, the King of Shu’s convoy appeared in front of everyone.

However, just as the convoy was about to enter the valley.

Meng Zhixiang suddenly called the parking team.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage, stood at the front and looked at both sides of the valley.

Meng Zhixiang looked solemn, and for some reason he felt vaguely uneasy.

If the two armies were at war, the valley in front of them would definitely be a perfect place to set up an ambush...

With his many years of experience in commanding troops, he would not pass this way even if he had to take a detour.

However, he was only on his way back and was not leading troops to fight, so there was no need to take a long detour.

Meng Zhixiang couldn't help laughing.

He felt that he was worrying too much.

"Let's go!"

"..."

Li Cunren held his breath and stared at them intently.

She didn't know whether she and her companions had exposed their tracks, or for some other reason, which caused the King of Shu's convoy to stop suddenly.

If the truth is revealed, we will have to take action immediately and rush forward to kill the King of Shu!

But their current location is still some distance away from the Shu King's convoy.

If he were to kill him forcefully, the King of Shu would probably escape...

I saw that the Shu King's convoy was moving again and had entered the valley.

Li Cunren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Another person in a very similar situation to her is Xu Ziwei.

The Shu King's convoy suddenly stopped, which also scared Xu Ziwei.

He was afraid that he would ruin the helmsman's plan.

Fortunately, it was just a close call.

The King of Shu's entire convoy did not consist of many people, only a few dozen guards.

This does not pose any obstacle to Li Cunren and his team.

As long as the boulder rolls down, the guards will be seriously injured if not killed.

But to be on the safe side, Li Cunren still waited patiently for the other party to walk into his ambush circle.

at this time.

Li Cunren suddenly shouted: "Release!"

Boom——

Huge rocks slid down from the top of the mountain, causing dust to fly and even the ground to shake.

"Oh no! There's an ambush! Quickly protect the King of Shu!"

The horses in the caravan were instantly frightened, and everyone looked at the approaching boulder in panic.

Meng Zhixiang broke through the carriage and soared into the sky. His figure flashed as he kept dodging the falling boulders.

At the same time, he was trying his best to rescue his men.

His strength is not bad, although he may not rank in front of top masters like Su Qingjue.

But he is not a powerless person.

Swah——

Li Cunren and the dead people suddenly appeared in front of Meng Zhixiang.

At the same time, the Shang people threw out iron chains, trapping Meng Zhixiang in the center.

In just one encounter, Meng Zhixiang was in danger.

Not only that, the people he brought with him were also injured one after another under the attack of the Rolling Stones.

Meng Zhixiang narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? How dare you block my way?"

however.

Li Cunren and the others seemed to be well aware that villains die because they talk too much.

They had no communication with Meng Zhixiang.

Taking advantage of the rolling smoke and dust caused by the huge rock.

The Shang people hid their figures in the smoke and dust, and directly surrounded and killed Meng Zhixiang with an iron chain formation.

At the same time, Li Cunren swooped down from the air with a long sword in his hand.

All of Meng Zhixiang's escape routes were blocked in all directions without any blind spots.

however.

It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Xu Ziwei and the other bad guys all looked confused.

what's the situation?

Does the captain have other arrangements?

But the captain didn’t tell me in advance?

"No, these are people arranged by other forces. They really want to kill the King of Shu!"

Xu Ziwei reacted quickly, and just when he was about to go forward to rescue.

suddenly.

An extremely terrifying and shocking airflow came like an avalanche, instantly dispersing all the smoke and dust.

Li Cunren and his men had no choice but to give up the attempt to kill the King of Shu for the time being.

They stuck their weapons into the ground to barely stabilize their bodies and avoid being blown away.

The next moment, time and space seemed to stand still.

A black-robed figure appeared instantly.
