Three days later.
Li Chengqian's team turned into Tongji Canal and entered Shandong.
This section of Tongji Canal has excellent scenery and magnificent mountains and rivers.
Unfortunately, soon after the team entered Tongji Canal, it started to rain heavily.
The fog and rain made the visibility on the water very low, making it impossible to see too far.
As the weather approached noon, the team slowed down.
Li Chengqian lifted the curtains and looked out.
Now the ship is traveling between two mountains.
On the right is a slightly gentler hillside, not too steep.
On the left is a canyon that goes straight up and down. The waterway is not wide, boats are traveling in it, and the rock walls on both sides are close at hand.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is a good place."
"Why do you say that?"
Changsun Chong was a little puzzled.
"This place is truly a paradise."
"If there are soldiers stationed on the mountain, even if there are not many soldiers, they can attack from a high position and cut off the waterway in the middle."
Li Chengqian looked at the mountain walls on both sides and said, "No matter how many people we have, we can't pass through here."
After hearing these words, Changsun Chong was even more confused and looked at him with confusion.
But Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said: "I am the prince and the king of Qin in Chang'an City, but if I leave Chang'an City, I will be nothing..."
"When we go out, we face risks every step of the way."
"Every place we go may have hidden murderous intentions. If we don't pay attention, we may never have the chance to return to Chang'an."
After hearing these words, Changsun Chong felt that Li Chengqian was too nervous.
Cheng Huailiang on the side also said: "Your Highness, don't be nervous, this road is very safe."
"Yeah?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Huailiang, and then grabbed Changsun Chong's shoulder.
"Now that we have chosen to take this path."
"Sometimes, you have to learn something."
"For example, what should we do in the face of the current situation..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled his eldest grandson and took three big steps back.
In the midst of this electric light and flint, all I could hear was whooshing in my ears! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three blasts of wind.
Looking down, he saw that there were already three more arrows where Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong were standing just now.
Changsun Chong and Cheng Hualiang both looked at the three arrows with horrified eyes.
Obviously, these two people still didn't realize what happened.
But at this moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard overhead.
Both of them looked up subconsciously and saw a round boulder as tall as a person tumbling down from the hillside.
Because of the rain and fog in the mountains, the rain and fog blocked people's sight, and the sound of rain covered up the sound of rolling boulders.
By the time people saw the boulder and heard the sound of the boulder rolling, the boulder had already rolled halfway up the mountain.
There was only a loud roar in the ear, and the ship's hull suddenly shook violently.
Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong and others were all knocked to the ground by the huge impact.
Fortunately, the hull of the boat was strong and it was some distance away from the rocks.
Otherwise, it would have to be hit and sunk by this huge boulder.
In the cabin, Li Chengqian got up from the ground.
"Chang Sun Chong, you follow me, Cheng Hualiang, you go organize the brothers to prepare against the assassin's attack on the mountain."
Only then did the two finally react.
They finally understood why Li Chengqian said what he said.
It seems that in the Tang Dynasty, there are quite a few people who want Li Chengqian's life...
Cheng Huailiang gritted his teeth, then got up from the ground and ran out.
He shouted while running: "There are assassins, there are assassins on the mountain, protect your highness, protect your highness!"
The scene that happened at this time made Zhangsun Chong break into cold sweat, and he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Chengqian beside him.
I saw that Li Chengqian's face was indifferent at this moment.
It was as if he didn't take these things to heart at all.
It was as if he had anticipated these things.
Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you known this for a long time?"
Li Chengqian did not answer his words: "They want to use me, Li Chengqian, as a stepping stone, but they may have made the wrong calculation."
On the hillside, hundreds of people stood with knives.
Although these people were not wearing armor, they could still feel the compelling killing aura.
Especially when there was a burly man standing in front of this group of people.
Seeing the chaos below, the burly man roared loudly: "Kill with me!"
After the words fell, hundreds of people rushed down the hillside together under the leadership of the burly man, with great momentum.
With a team of less than 500 people, it actually gave people the illusion that they were facing thousands of troops.
When faced with such a situation, Qianziying was a little confused for a while.
Fortunately, Hou Junji stood up at this time, and following his command, the chaotic situation was quickly stabilized.
Then the Qianzi battalion was organized on the deck of the ship, and the battle formation was arranged, waiting for the enemy's attack.
As the opponent got closer and closer, Hou Junji directly drew his sword and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
After a shout, the archer loaded his bow and arrow, and then shot towards the opponent.
Although there are only a thousand people in the Qianzi camp, under Li Chengqian's request, these more than a thousand people can serve as archers.
At this moment, more than a thousand people fired arrows together. Although the momentum was not as huge as the tens of thousands of troops, it still cost these assassins a lot of money.
Dozens of people were shot over by arrows before they could reach the shore.
But more people rushed forward one after another.
None of these five hundred people were wearing armor, and they were all holding long swords.
In this condescending sprint, strength and speed are perfectly combined.
After arriving at the shore, these assassins jumped onto the deck one after another and fought with the soldiers of Qianzi Camp.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and calmly directed the soldiers around him to rush forward and engage in a melee with the people on the deck.
The man carrying the knife, led by the man holding the knife, saw Li Chengqian surrounded by the crowd at a glance.
He did not hesitate and led his brothers all the way towards Li Chengqian.
When he jumped onto the deck, the surrounding Qianzi battalions rushed toward him.
The man holding the long knife didn't hesitate. He held the long knife in his hand and swung the knife sideways with a strange roar.
Three Qianziying soldiers were unable to dodge and their blood was spilled on the spot.
But just as he was about to continue charging forward.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards him, and at the same time, a flash of lightning like the bright moon in the sky followed closely.
The man reacted quickly and hurriedly parried with his sword.
I hear a clanging sound in my ears! A golden cry.
It only shook the man back three big steps.
When the man stood firm and looked carefully, at some point, a very majestic man appeared in front of Li Chengqian.
Who could this person be?
Nothing more than that, Cheng Huailiang, the son of Duke Lu.
Cheng Huailiang looked at the man and sneered: "Boy, you have to die here today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the long knife in his hand and rushed towards the opponent...
