In the woods.
The soldiers in iron armor were carefully clearing the traps around them with their swords. The only sound left in their ears was the rustling of the leaves in the wind, which was eerily quiet.
The next second, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a dense rain of arrows suddenly appeared. Everyone was shocked at first, and then quickly raised their swords to resist.
After all, he was a close associate of the general and had been on the battlefield all year round. Within a moment, the situation on the field changed. When the attack subsided, several men in black were thrown to the ground.
"General, they have all committed suicide by taking poison."
Huo Lichi frowned slightly and walked over to check on the body, his expression a little solemn.
The deputy on the side considered this.
"General, this doesn't look like the same group of people who sneaked into the military camp before. Could they be bandits here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other general shook his head, denying his conjecture.
"This group of people is well-trained and there must be an organization behind them. How could the bandits be afraid of being caught by us and lose their lives in vain? It would be too bold to dare to assassinate His Majesty's carriage. I just don't know their purpose." What is it?"
Who doesn't know that His Majesty is going to the palace, and there will be no shortage of troops around him. It is worth pondering that they still do something that will fail.
Fortunately, they knew that this trip would not go smoothly, so they arranged for the Imperial Guard to follow the convoy from the beginning, while Huo Lichi led people to explore the road first, not only to capture the mastermind behind the scenes, but also to clear the obstacles in advance.
But seeing that no one was left alive, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The clue ends here again.
When I returned to Beijing this time, apart from the fact that the border had been stabilized, the most important thing was that I found someone who had infiltrated the army. After following the clues and investigating, I found that the other party was probably organized.
Although it had no impact, it became clear that the matter was not simple. Huo Lichi reported it immediately, and was then ordered by His Majesty to return to Beijing to investigate and uncover the forces behind it.
After this period of actions, they have determined that there are more than just this group of secret forces, and even the important ministers and princes are vaguely involved. It is no wonder that His Majesty recently intended to promote the third prince.
Favor is false, temptation is real.
Now that His Majesty is in his prime, his prince has begun to become restless. No emperor can tolerate this, even if it is his own son who has his own ideas.
Several soldiers searched the body and then shook their heads at the young man.
Seeing this, Huo Lichi did not hesitate any longer.
"Go back to the team first."
Everyone responded and got on their horses one by one.
But just as he was about to go back, a few more figures suddenly appeared in the sky, so fast that people had no time to react.
Huo Lichi pursed his lips and moved his wrist slightly. The flying arrow was cut off, and then a flash of silver flashed in front of his eyes. When he looked over again, the man had been nailed to the ground with a sword and his body had been penetrated.
Smelling the suddenly strong smell of blood in the air, everyone became alert, and their hands unconsciously clenched the weapons at their waists.
However, before they could take action, with a few whooshing sounds, the figures that had been approaching in secret all fell to the ground without even having time to make a sound.
The expressions of everyone present were shocked for a moment, and they subconsciously followed the movement and looked over.
As the horses stopped, a bright color appeared before everyone's eyes.
The little girl was wearing a red dress, her usually delicate and soft little face was tense, showing a bit of coldness, her movements were crisp and neat, and it was so eye-catching.
It's not the same as the rumored little princess.
Who doesn’t know that although the little princess is the only daughter of King An, she has been raised by her parents since she was a child and protected by her elder brother. She has never even been on the battlefield. When she grows up, she will feel sorry for her suffering at the border. People were sent to the capital.
