The best ring

In the convoy.

Wu Fan was still riding his horse, following Zhao Qi's carriage. In the carriage, Zhao Qi and Xiao Qing had already started to catch up on their sleep.

In front and behind the convoy were Du Dezhong's men, and Du Dezhong himself was walking in the front.

Yesterday's battle caused Du Dezhong's men to suffer heavy losses, with too many casualties. The scale of the convoy was not large, and now it is even smaller.

And because of yesterday's battle, Du Dezhong was very worried about the next trip. He had already sent a letter to the imperial capital, hoping that the imperial capital could send people to support him.

However, Du Dezhong did not dare to have too much hope for this situation.

First of all, the imperial capital is far away from here, even if someone comes, it will not arrive for a while.

Secondly, Du Dezhong is very clear about the eldest prince's attitude towards this matter, so in this matter, the eldest prince will definitely obstruct it. At that time, it is not necessary to completely prevent the emperor from sending troops to support. As long as it delays some time, things will be troublesome.

As for asking Fang Wei's people to help escort, Du Dezhong didn't even think about it, because he didn't trust those people.

"As long as we get to Liuyun City, it will be fine." Du Dezhong looked around vigilantly and said to himself.

The garrison commander of Liuyun City is his good friend. When the time comes, he can ask for his help, and he is sure that the other party will not refuse.

As for before arriving at Liuyun City, they can only rely on these people.

The marching process is a bit boring, especially when the surrounding scenery is not a beautiful sight.

The air quality in this game world is naturally better than that in the real world, but it is also more backward than the real world, especially outside the city, there are barren mountains and wastelands everywhere, which looks very desolate and dilapidated. Even a superpower like Tianji Country can't avoid this.

So, there is really nothing to see along the way, and Wu Fan can only be bored and dazed.

However, near noon, Wu Fan, who was originally bored, suddenly sat up straight with a serious face.

"Heh, they haven't given up yet. They're here again so soon." Wu Fan said to himself, "Who on earth is that Li Mao? He actually showed up again."

Through the aerial reconnaissance of the black shadow four-winged bird, Wu Fan has learned that there is a group of people hiding in the woods on both sides of the road not far in front of them. These people are Li Mao and his group who retreated from Fengling Pass before.

You know, they are not too far away from Fengling Pass now, but Li Mao and his group dared to ambush here, which means that they didn't take the defenders of Fengling Pass seriously at all.

However, considering that they dared to take action directly in Fengling Pass before, it means that they are really not afraid of the defenders of Fengling Pass.

Or, they are related to the defenders of Fengling Pass!

In any case, someone ambushed, this is real.

Wu Fan kicked his legs against the horse's belly, drove the horse forward, came to Du Dezhong's side, and said: "General Du, there is an ambush ahead."

Although Du Dezhong is a problem, a big problem, now they are on the same boat, Wu Fan still needs to inform Du Dezhong in advance, so as not to catch him off guard.

"Is there an ambush?" Du Dezhong heard Wu Fan's words, his face condensed, and asked: "How did you know?"

To be honest, Du Dezhong was not too surprised that there was an ambush ahead. Although he didn't know where the enemy would ambush, he knew that those people would not give up easily. Now that he heard Wu Fan say there was an ambush, he was just surprised at how Wu Fan knew about it.

Could it be that Wu Fan and the others have some power that they don't know about?

But I didn't see anyone reporting to Wu Fan just now, and I didn't see any air messengers coming, so how did Wu Fan know about this?

"I have my own way." Wu Fan said calmly, "I just don't know if General Du believes it or not."

Du Dezhong didn't speak immediately, but stared at Wu Fan for a long time before saying, "I believe it!"

Wu Fan was a little surprised. He thought Du Dezhong was going to doubt his words, but he didn't expect the other party to believe it so easily.

However, this is also good, so I don't have to explain it myself.

"What is General Du going to do?" Wu Fan asked.

"Since General Wu already knows where they are ambushing, we will naturally take the initiative to find them." Du Dezhong said.

"Take the initiative to find them?" Wu Fan said, "Does General Du want to take the initiative to attack?"

"Yes!" Du Dezhong said, "I don't have many people now. If we passively counterattack, even if we prepare in advance, we may not be able to beat the other party at that time. Now that we know their position, we will naturally change from passive to active and catch them off guard!"

Wu Fan thought about it and said, "Okay, I agree."

"Will General Wu go with us?" Du Dezhong looked at Wu Fan with some expectation in his eyes.

He had seen Wu Fan's skills yesterday. He was very strong. If Wu Fan could help, it would not only increase the possibility of their success, but also reduce the casualties on their side. He didn't have many people, so he naturally didn't want too many casualties.

However, Wu Fan was from Yanfeng Country, so he had no right to give orders. Moreover, Wu Fan's main task was obviously to protect the princess of Yanfeng Country, so she might not be willing to go with them.

However, to Du Dezhong's surprise, Wu Fan actually smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."

Wu Fan's first task was naturally to protect Zhao Qi, but he had to eliminate this potential threat. Wu Fan was a little worried about just letting Du Dezhong and the others go.

Finally, Zhao Qi had a flying pet watching from the air, so Wu Fan was still relieved.

"Okay, let's go now." Seeing Wu Fan agreed, Du Dezhong was happy: "As for Her Royal Highness the Princess and the others, they can camp here temporarily, and I'll leave a few brothers here to guard."

"Okay." Wu Fan said.

Then, Wu Fan went forward with Du Dezhong and his men, and took the initiative to find the ambushers. As for Zhao Qi, Xiaoqing, Shao Haogang and others, they were left behind. Zhao Qi and Xiaoqing didn't even know that Wu Fan had left them behind, and they were still in deep sleep at this time.

As for Shao Honggang, he naturally had no doubts about Wu Fan's decision.

In the woods about one kilometer away from where Zhao Qi and the others stayed, Li Maozheng led his men, lying in the grass, holding an unknown weed in his mouth, and staring at the road ahead.

Next to Li Mao and in the woods across the road, lying down were Li Mao's men. These people were still wearing yesterday's black night clothes, holding weapons in their hands, lying in the grass, waiting for the target to appear.
