Li Chengqian followed the bumpy carriage and left Guanzhong for seven or eight days in a row. The carriage walked along the official road and headed north.

Because it leads from the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions.

Longyou Road is the area along the Hexi Corridor.

During these seven or eight days, Li Chengqian never forgot to sign in every day, and the rewards he received included three crops: corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

You know, these three crops are easy to grow regardless of the soil.

Especially in this feudal society, large output can increase the population.

During the Zhenguan period, droughts and locust plagues broke out one after another, and many people died.

Li Chengqian had already thought about conquering a country after arriving in the Western Regions, and then promoting it.

On this day, Li Chengqian and his party arrived at a plain. It was night, so the party set up camp to rest.

night.

In the camp, Li Chengqian was resting, but suddenly he opened his eyes and heard a rustling sound in his ears.

Those are footsteps!

Since gaining Xiang Yu's power, his vision and hearing have been greatly improved.

"These people are not Cheng Chumo's people."

Li Chengqian concluded.

Because the footsteps outside the camp were very cautious, as if they were thieves.

Li Chengqian crouched down and carefully opened the tent. Looking along the line of sight, he saw a group of people wearing night clothes and covering their faces with black scarves outside the tent.

There were about a hundred people, all holding swords.

Then, there was a sudden scream.

"There is an enemy attack!"

When Cheng Chumo came out to get up for the night, he immediately saw this group of people and immediately shouted.

Immediately afterwards, his thirty brothers woke up from their sleep, picked up the Mo Dao, and rushed out.

The men in black didn't say anything. The leader seemed to wave his arm, and immediately the two groups started fighting.

In an instant, the clanging sound of weapons woke up Zhao Yan, the four maids, and Fang Qingyun.

After everyone left the camp, they saw everyone fighting, and their faces turned pale with fear.

Only Fang Qingyun looked calm. She drew out her sword and stabbed a man in black, piercing his chest.

Her skills were so nimble that in the chaos of the crowd, it was as if she had entered an uninhabited land, killing four or five people with three twists and turns.

It can be seen that she has learned martial arts and has skills.

The battle is still going on.

Of Cheng Chumo's more than thirty brothers, only a dozen were dead, and they were already surrounded by the men in black.

Cheng Chumo's face was stained with blood, and he held the Mo Dao in both hands. He stood shoulder to shoulder with more than a dozen of his brothers and looked at the man in black who was gradually approaching them.

Fang Qingyun also had an injury on his body, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.

"General Cheng, the other party has a good background and has received special training."

"And all of them are not afraid of death."

After listening to her words, Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "I can see it, the idea is tricky, Miss Fang, I didn't realize that you are still a martial artist, and you have quite a lot of skills."

"I'm afraid we are doomed today, but even if we die, we must die knowingly."

Cheng Chumo asked the men in black, "Heroes, who are you?"

"Master Cheng, listen!" The leader, a man in black, covered his face and stood in front of many men in black, making a loud sound.

Apparently a middle-aged man.

"We are not here for you. Hand over the deposed prince quickly and let us kill him. You can go wherever you like."

"Just because we killed you and didn't get any money, we don't have to take your lives."

This person is also quick-tongued and quick-tongued, and he keeps his words clear. He just doesn't want to create extraneous problems and puts his interests first.

After hearing this, Cheng Chu said silently: "No, your Majesty may have really misunderstood the prince! Before the prince arrived in the Western Region, someone has come to intercept and kill him. This matter... Could it be that someone framed him and deposed him as the prince first? Kill him again?"

"What a vicious person! Who will benefit the most from killing him?"

Under the torches held by many men in black, Cheng Chumo's eyes flickered as the flames flickered out, and faces flashed in his mind.

His heart became colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"General..."

A lieutenant behind him hesitated to say anything, looking at the many men in black, his eyes filled with fear.

The prince is already a commoner!

On their side, there are still a dozen brothers left, but on the opposite side, there are about a hundred people.

And all of them are brave and good at fighting.

Is it really worth losing your life for someone like Li Chengqian?

At this time, the deputy general took a step back, his eyes were timid, and he hugged a dozen brothers into his arms...

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Chengqian's tent and thought of the teachings of his father Cheng Yaojin.

"Son, a person has no word of faith and does not stand up for the world. As a man, you must serve the country and be worthy of your parents."

"If you die for the country, the king, and loyalty, your father will be proud of you."

Cheng Chumo's eyes suddenly became brave. He suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the many men in black.

"Brothers, we are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! Soldiers are the symbol of the strong and the guardians!"

"Deposed Prince Li Chengqian, even if he made a lot of mistakes, Your Majesty did not punish him with death. How can we watch these thieves kill him?"

"Even if I, Cheng Chumo, are defeated, I will protect Li Chengqian today!"

Not for anything else, just because his father told him that people must be trustworthy. Since he is responsible for detaining Li Chengqian, he cannot be allowed to die on the way.

However.

As he finished speaking, there was only a tinkling sound.

Cheng Chumo looked back and saw that the people led by the deputy general had abandoned their weapons and fled away like a bereaved dog.

Cheng Chumo smiled sadly, then raised his sword with both hands and started to kill everyone.

"Miss Fang, take Mr. Li away!"

He didn't have a chance to say more, such as last words to his parents...

At this time, Li Chengqian walked out of the camp and looked at Cheng Chumo with admiration. At first, he wanted to let the men in black kill these people to avoid being constrained by the Tang Dynasty officials. After all, no one wanted to be guarded by thirty people.

But he didn't expect that the young master of the Cheng family would choose to protect himself with his life.

How could such a loyal and righteous man let him down?

"Run quickly, they are going to kill you!"

While Cheng Chumo was fighting fiercely, he saw Li Chengqian rushing towards the man in black and became anxious.

The next moment, a terrifying momentum surged forward, like a mountain falling over a river.

The hundreds of men in black felt a horrifying murderous intent sweeping through them, and then they saw Li Chengqian, dressed in black, holding the Great Wilderness Divine Halberd in his hand, rushing into the crowd like an arrow off a string.

The speed is like thunder and lightning!

"this……"

Cheng Chumo and Fang Qingyun were both stunned, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

That halberd was like a machine that shattered the flesh. Under its sweep, the enemy's flesh and blood were separated, and the screams broke the silent night.
