"Someone is coming, brother. They are riding horses, and there are quite a few of them, at least fifty!"

After saying that, she stood up suddenly and took two steps forward to make sure there was no problem with the number of people listening.

"Be careful, those people are here with bad intentions, they are armed and wearing armor!"

She picked up the mask that was hanging on a stick to dry and hung it back around her neck.

Pei Qing and the guards from the princess's mansion behind him moved very quickly and packed up the things that had just been put out in no time.

Several other people pulled their horses and quickly headed towards a lower area.

His job was to hide the horses.

"Akira, get your shields and go to the tree!"

When Pei Qing decided to rest here for a night, he observed the terrain.

There are tall and straight maple trees everywhere, although they lose their leaves in winter and are not very useful for concealment.

However, at this height, even if someone came with bad intentions, Ming Cheng could climb up the tree and use the height advantage to kill many people with hidden weapons.

Obviously, Pei Chun also knew Pei Qing's plan, and stuffed the two hard pieces of jerky in his hand into his mouth.

Using both hands and feet, he climbed up to the top of the dense branches in just two breaths.

The wind was getting colder at high altitude, but the view was far and clear.

"These people have torches in their hands, and they will reach us in half an incense stick of time!

They were still wearing armor, but it looked like privately made armor!

They seemed to be heading for the smoke in the sky."

Pei Chun ignored the howling wind and just lowered his head to warn Pei Qing below.

Pei Qing's face changed, and he realized that these people wearing private armor were private soldiers of other families!

But in Zhao State, it is illegal to raise troops privately, and the crime is equivalent to treason!

Who is so bold!

No wonder that group of people had to march stealthily at night.

But the guards in the princess's mansion had no armor and no sharp weapons.

If the guards ran into him head-on, they would be silenced without even thinking about what to do!

It is estimated that this group of private soldiers must have killed a lot of people along the way, otherwise they would not have deliberately come to the place where there was smoke.

He was holding a torch and was so arrogant.

I'm afraid it's just to silence them...

Pei Qing fixed his gaze on the still burning fire in front of him, his expression difficult to discern.

It seems that today... there will be a fierce battle.

"Everyone hide. If you see them later, try to avoid them if you can.

If they come looking for trouble with us, we don't have to be soft-hearted! There are only fifty of them!" Pei Qing shouted.

"Mingcheng, find a chance. If they take action, kill their leader!"

Pei Chun responded, put on his mask, put his hands on his sleeves, ready to take out a hidden weapon at any time.

To be honest, the clothes these private soldiers wore always made her feel familiar.

Has she seen it somewhere before?

Pei Chun lay on the tree branch and thought.

Where is it?

When had she seen him?

Below, within less than a quarter of an hour, the twenty guards of the princess's mansion heard the sound of approaching horse hooves.

The guards who were hiding quietly under the tree looked at each other in shock, and several of them opened their mouths in surprise.

The guards in the princess's mansion had already heard about the Sixth Miss's ears.

But I didn't expect it to be so powerful that I could hear it clearly even from such a distance of a quarter of an hour.

Even the sound of the armor on his body could be heard exactly!

This is amazing!

These guards were all stationed in the outer courtyard and did not often come into contact with the Sixth Young Miss. Now they have finally gained some experience.

The snowstorm became more severe.

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow was much quieter than usual.

But when many horse hooves stepped on the ground together, the sound was so loud that Pei Chun's heart still lifted a little.

She slowly held her breath and saw that the enemy leader had led his troops into the forest. She turned her head and looked around vigilantly.

I saw that man's eyes were as shrewd as a cheetah.

After a while, not knowing what he saw, he suddenly turned his head in one direction.

Carefully, he moved his hand to the bow and arrow at his waist.

Pei Chun's eyes moved slightly, and he followed his line of sight. He saw a black-clothed guard under the tree over there. He was so scared that he was breathing heavily, and a corner of his clothes was actually exposed.

The leader of the private soldiers on the opposite side had already raised his bow and arrow, pointing it directly in the direction of the black-clad guards.

If this arrow hits, this person's arm will definitely be injured!

No, we must not let the guards get injured before they even leave the house!

Pei Chun took a deep breath, held the flying knife between his fingertips, and lowered his head.

Aim for the man's neck.

Suddenly, the private soldiers leader's expression changed. He quickly retracted his bow and arrow, and even waved his hand to signal the private soldiers behind him to retreat.

Pei Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and the fingers holding the flying knife also relaxed a little.

If these private soldiers have no intention of killing anyone, it is not impossible for them to take a step back.

Thinking of this, she moved her mouth and chewed the warm dried meat on the side of her cheek.

She could already feel the slightest hint of jerky in her mouth; it was salty, chewy and very delicious.

The leader of the private soldiers under them had already led their men back to a place farther away from their camp.

Pei Chun let out a breath and chewed the dried meat in his mouth again.

It seems that these private soldiers don't want to get into conflict with others easily.

She thought naively.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when those private soldiers retreated, the leader drew his bow again.

With a fierce look on his face, he shot a cloud-piercing arrow at the guard behind the tree.

Pei Chun's eyes became fierce and he suddenly pulled out two throwing knives from the tree.

One arrow was aimed at the neck of the private army leader, and the other was aimed at the arrow flying rapidly below with a sound of breaking through the air.

The flying knives were accompanied by strong winds, and in the blizzard, the fastest one split the arrow shot at the guard in half in almost the blink of an eye.

The other flying knife, with the force of thunder, suddenly flew towards the face of the private army leader.

The private army leader also apparently felt the shadow of the flying knife, but it was too late.

The flying knife reached his neck in a flash.

"Well!!"

Instantaneous.

The flying knife trembling in the middle of its neck seemed to have stabbed into a bright red fruit, but in the blink of an eye, red juice spurted out from the wound of the fruit for a full two meters.

Apparently, the private army leader didn't notice that there was another person in the tree.

So much so that Pei Chun easily took his life.

He fell headfirst from the horse.

The guard who was saved by Pei Chun's flying knife had a look of gratitude on his face, and gave Pei Chun who was on the tree a look of gratitude.

Her two flying knives were like a signal to attack. Below, the guards of the Princess's Mansion received the signal and immediately emerged from the woods.

Even though he had no warhorse by his side, he still drew his sword fiercely and collided with the private soldiers' horses that were charging towards him.

At the same time, the tree where she was was also hit by arrows.

Pei Chun raised his shield with a cold face, but his fingertips were already ready with the Ruyi Pearl hidden weapon.

In the gap before the next wave of arrows arrived, a corner of the finger was quietly revealed.
