After finally arriving at the destination, there were corpses on the ground, including those of armored guards and smugglers.
To be able to make the ever-victorious Iron Guard lose so many people was a clear indication of the opponent's strength. Things were more complicated than they thought.
Now Jun Beicheng and the remaining armored guards were nowhere to be seen. Li Zhou was as anxious as a headless fly in the heavy rain.
The water on the brim of the hat dripped down the back of Shen Zhaoning's head and she couldn't help but spit it out.
"Why don't you let me down, and you go find the prince. I will wait for you here. If someone comes later, I can give you a message. It will be a burden and inconvenient for me to take you with me."
Li Zhou thought it made sense as soon as he heard it, and since he felt that she was a hindrance and a burden, he immediately threw her off the horse.
He also thoughtfully threw a cloud-piercing arrow to her. It was like a flying monkey that flew up to the sky to report news. It was in the shape of an arrow and would explode into a ball of fireworks when it reached the sky.
Li Zhou was anxious to find their prince and scrawled instructions: "Find a secret place to hide and pay attention to safety."
A group of people disappeared on the mountain road through bloody mud, and she just wanted to roll her eyes.
Crazy, isn't it? Will she die if she sleeps at home? She must be allowed to come out and suffer!
She was not idle either. She quickly read the memories of the corpses and discovered that these people had set a trap a long time ago.
They were not just smuggling weapons, they also had orders to assassinate the war king Jun Beicheng, and they would never let him return to Kyoto alive!
Tonight they deliberately put out bait to lure the armored guard into a trap, and now he has chased him with the armored guard.
It looks like you are going to be killed tonight. If you don't run away now, how long will it take?
If he died here, it would only be a bad fate for him. She didn't have the ability to save others, so she would not have to suffer the pain of having her life threatened.
Shen Zhaoning made up his mind to turn around and run down the mountain. Then he would quietly return to Kyoto, pick up his son and fly away.
When the news of Jun Beicheng's death comes back, the palace will be in chaos and they will definitely not have the energy to take care of her.
However, she didn't know the way.
When I arrived, I was lying on the horse and was so dizzy that I couldn't remember the road at all.
The mountain road was winding and bumpy, with many forks and landslides from time to time. After walking in a mess, I finally found that I was lost!
There were thunders in the sky, and she broke her guard. She found a cave to take shelter from the rain, and prepared to leave after the rain lightened up.
Jun Beicheng had to die tonight anyway, so she was not in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he found a stone to sit down, voices and footsteps came from outside.
At this time, apart from Jun Beicheng's people, the only people who appeared in the mountains were smugglers and killers!
Can't be so unlucky?
She was so frightened that she quickly hid behind a big rock in the cave. People from outside also came in, and there were quite a few of them.
A group of people were carrying heavy boxes. The leader's voice was rough and hoarse, as if his throat had been injured.
"All the gold is here, including the war king's life money, which is a full 30% more than what we agreed on before. You can count it, and I have to send the weapons back for delivery."
"The temporary price increase is against the rules. If we do this business next time, my master will be unhappy."
As the sound of the box opening sounded, a group of people began to count the gold. Shen Zhaoning had never seen so much gold in his life!
Jun Bapi’s life is really valuable!
Yes, there is no worst luck, only worse luck. Being stuck here is at stake. As long as you get involved with Jun Papi, you will become unlucky.
After the gold was counted, the leader of the other party smiled with satisfaction in his treacherous voice.
"Please rest assured, your master, the King of War will not survive tonight. This money will definitely be worth it."
"And those boxes of black powder, I got them with great difficulty. They are worth the price."
Black powder!
They not only smuggled weapons but also gunpowder. In this era, gunpowder was a very cherished war preparation material and was strictly controlled by various countries.
In this dynasty where hot weapons are yet to be developed, possessing black powder represents status and strength, and is the key to victory on the battlefield.
Even though the quantity of black powder in a few boxes is not that much, the fact that these people were able to obtain this is enough to show that the way is not simple.
They both store weapons and buy gunpowder. If you have a rebellious heart, rebellion is enough.
After the two parties completed the transaction, the man holding the gold chuckled and said: "The old place was used to ambush the King of War. The goods are all placed in the new location. You'd better transport them away overnight. I have to collect the body of the King of War. Looking forward to our next cooperation.”
They planned everything in advance and even moved the goods. No matter how smart Jun Beicheng was, he estimated that this time it would be difficult.
Shen Zhaoning couldn't protect himself, so of course he didn't care about the life and death of others. In the face of life and death, the Virgin's heart was just a joke, and he just expected them to leave quickly.
But the next second, a bright long sword was thrust in front of her, and a man with a burned face walked out.
"After listening for so long, do you want to go back and report the news?"
It's the guy with the broken voice!
She actually forgot that the people here practice martial arts and have sensitive senses, so they should stay away!
The scars on the man's face were twisted and ugly, looking like evil spirits from hell in the flickering firelight.
When the people on the other side saw this situation, their expressions turned cold: "You go ahead and leave it to me. I'll make sure to clean it up and leave no trace behind."
The ugly man took away the sword and left in a hurry with the people. He was really in a hurry to transport the weapons away.
A man with triangular eyes and a hooked nose walked out with a sinister smile: "It's a pity that you don't have the chance to go back and report the news."
Before Shen Zhaoning could explain, the bright sword was chopped down!
Just when she thought she was dead, a long sword flew over, passed through San Inch Nail's arm holding the sword, and nailed him to the ground.
