After entering a dense forest, there is a mountain road from Yunzhou City to Yizhou. This location is special, as there are bandits hiding in the mountains, so people who run this road need to be careful.

Before leaving, Chu Xi looked at the map specifically. Some soldiers in Yunzhou City who were familiar with the situation reminded them to be more careful when Chu Xi passed by.

Before entering the dense forest, at a distance, Chu Xi suddenly pulled the reins, stopped the horse's hooves, and stopped moving forward.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Chu Er followed Chu Xi and was one of the few people who knew Chu Xi's identity. He was carefully selected by Chu's father.

As a servant of the Chu family, the lives of all his family members are in the hands of the Chu family.

So even if he knew the news, he would not leak it out.

"Something is wrong here. Why is there so much fog in the dense forest?" Chu Xi raised his chin towards the dense forest.

It is difficult to see the road clearly when traveling at night. It is okay with moonlight, but even with moonlight, the dense forest with fog makes it difficult to see the route.

"The fog in the dense forest is too thick. It shouldn't be this thick in this weather."

Chu Er remembered that judging from the terrain of Yunzhou City, the fog shouldn't be so heavy.

It was raining all the way, and they were wearing straw raincoats while riding horses. The rain in Yunzhou had stopped a long time ago in the past two days, but it suddenly started to drizzle again tonight.

"This place is too easy to be ambushed!"

The more Chu Xi looked at it, the more she felt that this place was too strange, especially since in the novel Zhou Yichen attracted so much jealousy because of his halo as the male protagonist.

Because of jealousy, the original owner, as Zhou Yichen's confidant, also attracted a lot of pursuit.

This forced Chu Xi to be cautious.

Chu Er drew his sword and looked around quickly.

His martial arts skills are only slightly worse than Chu Xi's, and his vigilance is quite high.

Chu Er took out a dozen darts hidden at his waist and threw them into the dense fog and forest where he could not see the situation.

Chu Xi tilted his ears and listened carefully. No one was shouting, but... a bird was suddenly startled in the dense forest, and there were... slight dodging and the sound of darts piercing flesh. His expression changed slightly.

"There is an ambush." ​​Chu Er drew his sword, his eyes sharp.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people jumped out, several of whom were injured.

It was the dart thrown by Chu Er that hit the target.

"There are so many people here, you go first, young master." This was the first time that Chu Er encountered such an assassination situation.

He has been with Chu Xi all year round. Since they seldom leave the capital, others would have no way to do anything even if they wanted to.

This time they were given an opportunity. Prince Chu Jiang seemed to be a lazy prince with little power, but her grandfather was a meritorious official who had conquered the world with the retired emperor.

She must have some connections, and Chu Jiang is good at martial arts and comes from a family of military generals. His Majesty once said that she has the style of her grandfather. Such an evaluation will inevitably make people wary.

"They can't get away. There are so many of them, and their martial arts skills are pretty good. It's a big deal."

Chu Xi drew his sword and rushed forward, and their leader was the first to rush towards Chu Xi.

The other party was well prepared, and the people they sent out were specially selected with good martial arts skills. Although Chu Xi was only seventeen years old, her martial arts skills were indeed the best among the younger generation.

Her grandfather once deeply regretted that the son he raised was neither good at literature nor martial arts, so he specially trained Chu Jiang since he was young and had extremely high expectations for Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang cannot pursue a career in politics, so she is destined to work harder on martial arts.

The Prince Chu who was trained with great care was really good. The leader sent by the other side was stabbed in the heart by Chu Xi's sword before he could last more than fifteen moves.

Chu Er had been standing beside Chu Xi. He smelled something wrong and without thinking, he quickly shouted, "It's smoke! Be careful, everyone."

Chu Xi knew that the battle for the throne among the princes was in full swing. "Someone deliberately didn't want us to leave Yunzhou City to collect medicinal materials."

While she was killing the assassins who were trying to get to their side, she also had to find a way out from time to time.

They couldn't break out of Yizhou for the time being, and returning to Yunzhou City might not be that easy. There were ambushes ahead, and they couldn't retreat. The patients in Yunzhou were still counting on them to collect medicinal materials to take back.

"Chu Er retreats, and we won't go to Yizhou for now."

Chu Er was hit in the arm by an arrow, and those people started shooting arrows. The overwhelming flying arrows knocked down half of the people.

The already limited staff is now even fewer.

"it is good."

Chu Xi and Chu Er fought their way out. As they retreated, more and more people fell around them. This time, the people sent to assassinate them were really willing to spend a lot of money.

Chu Er hurriedly bandaged his injured arm. If he hadn't bandaged it, blood would have kept dripping along the way, and the dripping blood would have led the assassins.

Chu Xi was not injured, but the horse under him was almost unable to hold on, and the assassin who was chasing him from behind kept shooting arrows at the horse.

Chu Xi took advantage of their relentless pursuit and took out a few darts from time to time and shot them at the back. Even if he couldn't hit several people at the same time, he could at least hit one or two.

After three rounds, she actually knocked down five or six people.

Chu Xi's situation was not necessarily better. There were only three or four people left, and they looked too old, weak, sick and disabled to walk. Chu Xi actually became the only one among them who could still move and fight.

After a hard fight led by Chu Xi and his dozen men, only twelve or thirteen assassins are left on the opposing side. Now that their leaders have been killed, the remaining ones may be able to fight back.

While turning a corner and they hadn't caught up yet, Chu Xi quickly looked around and pointed at an inconspicuous bush nearby.

"You guys hide first, wait for me to lure them off their horses, and then I'll aim the crossbow at them."

This is putting yourself in danger and using yourself as bait.

Chu Er wanted to speak, but Chu Xi didn't give him a chance to speak. "This is my order, and it's also our chance to deal with them."

Chu Xi calculated that they would catch up, so he pretended that his horse could not run anymore and had to fight to the death.

The blood that had previously stained the sword in her hand had long since been washed away.

Twelve men in black got off their horses and surrounded Chu Xi. "Go, kill him."

They had no time to think about why Chu Jiang was the only one left. If Chu Jiang ran any further, he would probably enter the sentry range of Yunzhou City.

Even if there is an ambush, they must kill Chu Jiang! This is the order and mission they received this time.

Chu Xi remembered that the original owner had learned a move that was taught by her grandfather. This move required most of the internal strength, but it was extremely powerful.

She stayed alone, intending to leave all their lives behind.

Twelve people surrounded her. Since Chu Jiang had been running away, they had a preconceived notion that Chu Jiang was at the end of his strength and was just holding on.
