Several arrows were shot quickly and fiercely. Fan Kuai was shocked and shouted loudly.
Fortunately, the person who fired the arrows didn't seem to be very skilled. They all shot at the side and fell into the valley with a whirring sound.
In an instant, the figure stood still. Li Zhao and others took a closer look and saw that there were more than ten people, but they had no intention of attacking again. They all had their faces covered and were strong, holding bows in their hands and aiming.
The distance between them is only a few feet, which is a fatal distance. As long as Li Zhao and others make the slightest move, they will face hedgehog-like shots.
The situation at this moment is very embarrassing. Let’s not say whether we can retreat or not. This slippery mountain road is the biggest threat. It is impossible to fight back. They can shoot several of them through with just a little movement of their hands. Even if Li Zhao is still alive. Has a pistol.
"Master, stand behind me and I'll fight them." Fan Kuai moved his body and tried his best to block Li Zhao behind him.
"Get back quickly."
Fan Kuai's huge body completely blocked Li Zhao's thin body, but Li Zhao did not move, his eyes fixed on the masked man.
"There's no rush. We'll wait until the Lord sends someone to show up."
These people couldn't ambush him for no reason, there must be a reason, and what was the reason? They shouldn't be the enemies of Fan Kuai and others. The result is obvious. It's for themselves, and they didn't shoot him immediately. This proves that they have something to say, and someone will speak out later.
Of course, there was one more thing he wanted to confirm, which was why these people knew that he and others were coming to Qishan, and had prepared an ambush in advance. There were many mysteries in it, and if he didn't figure it out, he would feel uneasy.
As for the safety of himself and others, there is no danger for the time being. If these people really want to kill people, there is no need to show up.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a person slowly walked out of the path, with a successful smile on his face.
"Li Zhao, you're fine!"
"Is it you?" Fan Kuai was the first to speak in surprise when he saw this. This person was not anyone but a man named Han who had joined Liu Jijun. He was deeply trusted by Liu Ji, but escaped at the last moment.
Li Zhao glanced slightly sideways, and was a little surprised. This person was Shangguan, the suspected Han Xin.
However, he did not show any panic, and still asked with interest: "Are you Han Xin?"
"Haha! You finally know my name." Han Xin stopped in front of the masked man, sneered, but glanced at Fan Kuai next to him, "He told you, right?"
"Yes, I am Han Xin, but you knew it was too late."
Li Zhao was not too surprised, but he took another look at Han Xin. The last of the famous Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty finally appeared.
Since then, all three heroes have appeared, but they cannot all be used by themselves, which is a bit regretful.
Zhang Liang disappeared in Afang Palace, Xiao He became one of his own, but Han Xin stood on the opposite side of him. The development of things is often so intriguing. He originally wanted to gather these people, but he never thought, but the opposite happened. Not only could he not gather them, but he also became To those who harm themselves.
Maybe this is God’s justice! I will never be unconditionally attached to anyone.
I thought that if he was in Liu Jijun's army, he would consider surrendering him for his own use, but now it seems that it is no longer possible. Since he dares to ambush himself without killing himself, it means that someone behind him wants to get him, just like At that time, it was as if he had been captured, so it seemed that he had not given up serving Xiang Gong.
"It's not too late. It's fate that you and I met each other. Tell me, how did you know that I was going to pass through this place?" He was very confused about this question.
His whereabouts are not public, and there are not many followers around him. It is reasonable to say that he is not conspicuous, but he was still calculated by Han Xin.
Han Xin took a step forward, tilted his head and asked, "Do you think I can say it?"
Li Zhao smiled and didn't hesitate. How could Han Xin, as smart as Han Xin, say it now? Those were just his own tentative words, but another problem emerged.
"You have already lost, and there is no grudge between us. Since we have lost, there is no hostility, so why are you still making things difficult for me?"
Of course he could imagine that this problem was probably done by Duke Xiang, but why did Duke Xiang want to capture him? He seemed to have lost value to him!
After all, they have already taken away the secret manuals for weapons such as machine guns, so they are not that interested in him anymore!
But the fact is that they still want to plot against themselves.
"We lost? Who said that? Do you think we will lose without Hu Hai? Xiang Gong is not that fragile."
Han Xin said with a smile, but Li Zhao frowned. There was something in Han Xin's words, and it also contained a different meaning. Since Xiang Gong did not admit defeat, what would he do next?
Da Qin no longer has the power they can use, so how will they target Da Qin?
Li Zhao shook his head. These matters were too huge and not what he wanted to think about. Let the emperor have a headache!
"As for you! Duke Xiang is still interested, especially in the reconstruction of Afang Palace. Duke Xiang wants to cooperate with you!"
cooperate?
Li Zhao was shocked. Xiang Gong set his sights on Afang Palace and wanted to cooperate with him? Is there another plan here?
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can imagine that the so-called cooperation is just a nice word. In fact, no one knows what to do. If you really cooperate with them, you may not know how you will die.
Moreover, the emperor would never allow it. He did not want to become a rebel and be hunted down by the emperor.
"Of course, you have no room for refusal. When you meet Mr. Xiang, I believe you will cooperate." Han Xin raised the word 'cooperation' to a higher decibel level, and every word was a threat.
Li Zhao, on the other hand, was not threatened. He sneered, "What if I say no? How will you treat me?"
"Hehe!" Han Xin laughed, "You won't say 'no', and you will obediently follow me to see Mr. Xiang." After speaking, his eyes fell on Fan Kuai and others.
"Otherwise they will all die because of you. You are not a heartless person, are you?"
Han Xin took a few steps closer, his eyes rolling, his brows full of calculations.
Li Zhao stopped smiling and glanced back and forth from the corner of his eyes.
Fan Kuai also heard Han Xin's threat and quickly protected the young master behind him. He unsheathed his sword at his waist and stared at Han Xin sharply.
"Han Xin, if you have something to do with me, Fan Kuai, don't even think about threatening the young master. As long as Fan Kuai is around, you can't even think about touching the young master's hair."
"No, no" Han Xinjie smiled, waving his fingers in front of his eyes, "I don't need a hair on his face, I want his whole body."
"Li Zhao, think about it! Otherwise, if I give the order, all of you will become targets."
"How dare you, let your horse come here, I will kill you without leaving a single piece of armor behind." Fan Kuai got angry and bullied him forward, the blade of his sword roaring.
"Fan Kuai, stop messing around and get out." Li Zhao pulled Fan Kuai over and pointed at the guards behind him, "Leave with them!"
Han Xin was right in saying that if Fan Kuai was allowed to cause chaos, he might really kill Fan Kuai and others. After all, the opponent was coming fiercely, occupied high ground, and had more people, so his side was no match at all.
The most important thing is that they are in an arrow formation.
And the only way to save them is to let them go.
This is not about how noble his moral character is, but that even if they are allowed to fight Han Xin, the end result will be the same, and there is no need to waste human lives.
"Young master, no, Fan Kuai is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He promised to protect the young master, and he will protect him to the end, even if he dies."
Li Zhao was very moved.
Although this man looks rough, he is true-hearted, protective enough, and loyal enough. It is no wonder that Liu Bang valued him so much in history.
However, 'death' will not solve the problem at this moment. He has his own plan.
"Let's go! Wait where we are staying. If you don't see me returning in three days," he looked deeply at Han Xin and deliberately raised his voice, "then go back to Linyuan and report to the emperor that Zhao has been captured by Han Xin. Han Xin is a retinue of Duke Xiang."
This was said deliberately to Han Xin, and of course it also meant a threat.
But Han Xin was unmoved and sneered: "Are you threatening me? Hehe!" He said nothing more, but his eyes became cold as he looked at the people.
"Master."
"Leave quickly!"
Fan Kuai saw the young master's determination and left with the guards ruthlessly. Han Xin was calm and had no intention of stopping him. He walked over slowly and said mockingly: "Okay, let's just fight it off! It's you who took the initiative to follow me. Let’s go, I’ll tie you up and go.”
Li Zhao made no movement, his body did not move, but he kept looking down from the corner of his eyes. He saw a piece of green, which was shaking.
This is the second time he has looked here.
"Don't play any tricks. If you dare to think of using a killer weapon, you will be dead."
He was still afraid of Li Zhao's big killing weapon.
He quickly approached Li Zhao and grabbed Li Zhao with his big hands, hoping to capture him immediately. However, Li Zhao seemed so weak on the surface. He bullied himself, accelerated quickly, and jumped down into the abyss of a hundred feet.
Just a sound of "Ah" echoed in the valley, and Li Zhao was nowhere to be seen.
"This" Han Xin was stunned, and he couldn't react at all.
The masked man holding the bow was also stunned. It happened in the blink of an eye. Li Zhao, who thought he had captured him, was about to catch him, but they didn't expect that this man was so brave that he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. They didn't expect it!
They still underestimated Li Zhao's courage.
"Shangguan, what should we do now? If Li Zhao dies, we can't represent Xiang Gong, and it's even more impossible to regain his approval." A masked man said dejectedly.
After the defeat at Shanglinyuan, Duke Xiang questioned their ability to do things. It was Han Xin's solemn promise that he could capture Li Zhao that made Duke Xiang give them a chance.
But I didn't expect that this opportunity was about to come, but I never thought about it but failed.
"Don't be anxious, let me think about it." Han Xin frowned, but no one could see that he was anxious.
Yes, what the masked man said is right. If Li Zhao is not obtained or Li Zhao dies, not only will Duke Xiang not accept them, he will even kill them.
Duke Xiang said this himself: Li Zhao must be captured by any means, but he cannot die.
"Go down and search! Even if he dies, you still have to see his body."
So, several people hurried down the mountain and headed towards the place where Li Zhao fell.
Perhaps, a few people were too concerned about Li Zhao jumping off the cliff and were completely unaware that a few breaths later, a round object appeared in the valley, like a coarse cloth floating in the air. It dropped rapidly at first, and finally floated slowly until it was treetop interception
