However, Duobang thought deeper. He also knew very well that if Alido was captured, based on his understanding of Alido, he might not be able to withstand the torture of the other party, and then the entire plan would fail.
After thinking about it for a while, Duobang decided that he might as well just go with it himself.
Duobang found the serial crossbow, took out a small porcelain bottle, and drilled the arrows into it. When I took it out, I saw that the tip of the arrow was all black. His purpose was not to sneak attack Xiao Jingyun, but to keep an eye on Ali Duo. If Ali Duo really fell into the hands of the enemy, he must be killed immediately.
After leaving the city gate, we came to the steep slope and looked carefully. It turned out to be a good place for an ambush.
Standing on the steep slope and retreating a little, it can't be seen from the official road, which is convenient for hiding. Not far behind the steep slope, there is a forest, which is convenient for retreat.
Duobang takes Alido with him. After comparing and drawing with a bow and arrow, I finally chose a more ideal location, marked the location, and then retreated down the slope to find a sunny place to bask in the sun.
While basking in the sun, Duobang told Aliduo, "You must remember what I said. There is only one chance. After the arrow is shot, no matter whether it can hit or not, you just run into the woods. Do you understand what I mean?"
Alido nodded again.
"I will wait for you in that dense forest and help you stop the pursuers. You can evacuate as soon as possible."
The arrangement was finalized, and Duobang got up and retreated into the dense forest. He also wanted to find a suitable place.
He knew that after Ali Duo shot an arrow and ran away, if the enemy wanted to pursue him, no matter how fast he was, he would have to chase him into the dense forest before he could surround Ali Duo, so the key to victory or defeat was It's that dense forest.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun had already set off with his people.
Zhou Quan led the people in front, and there were people crowding behind, surrounding Xiao Jingyun in the middle.
Zhou Quan was still very cautious and sent people to stand in front. If they saw anything suspicious, they would go down and search.
The dense forest not far from the south gate is of course the focus.
After a search by dozens of Royal Forest Army soldiers, they found nothing unusual. They immediately withdrew and continued walking forward.
Aliduo stood on the high slope and watched a fast horse approaching in the distance. He knew that this was the arrival of the people standing in front of Jamel Xiao.
Alido still subconsciously took two steps back.
However, soon, he heard the sound of horse hooves disappear, followed by a noise. Ariduo knew that he was about to come down to search, so he quickly retreated.
Not far down the slope, there is a small cave there, which can only accommodate people to hide.
Alido huddled there, not daring to move.
A soldier of the Royal Forest Army walked up the steep slope, stood on the top and looked around. After looking around, he was convinced that there was nothing unusual, so he left one person on guard on the steep slope, and then the others withdrew and continued moving forward.
In the distant forest. When Duobang saw that there were guards left here, he secretly complained in his heart. If this was the case, then his plan would probably fail.
Aliduo carefully poked out half of his head and saw a person standing on the top of the slope. He was a little surprised, but fortunately, this person's eyes were looking at the official road. He should be looking at the direction where Prince Xiao Jingyun came from, but he Didn't notice anything strange behind him.
Alido slowly climbed out of his hiding place and slowly moved up the steep slope.
Three feet, two feet, one foot.
At this time, there was dust rising in the distance, and Xiao Jingyun was almost there.
And the flying dust obviously attracted the attention of such a soldier of the Royal Forest Army, and also covered Alido's actions. He came behind the soldier in two steps, covered his mouth with one hand, and strangled his neck with the other. Go back, and then twist it.
"Crack." With a sound, the soldier's neck was twisted, and he died without even having time to grunt.
Alido quickly took off the man's armor and randomly put a suit on himself. Regardless of whether it fit or not, at least it looked like that.
In the woods, Duobang saw this scene and nodded secretly. He suddenly couldn't bear it. Even if such a good subordinate was caught, would he have the heart to kill him?
But then I thought about it, in order to complete the task, I had no choice.
Prince Xiao Jingyun came over quickly. It was obvious that he was not wary of the security guards along the way. This was a sign of trust in Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan ran at the front and nodded slightly to express his satisfaction when he saw the Imperial Guards guarding the slope.
Seeing Jamel Xiao approaching, Aliduo suddenly took a step back, bent down and picked up the bow and arrow on the ground.
He took a step back and walked so close to the slope that his actions could not be seen clearly.
But he could see below that Ali Duo was bending his bow and aiming at Xiao Jingyun with an arrow.
Some of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who were following Xiao Jingyun noticed that the man moved on the steep slope, and immediately felt something bad and issued a warning voice, "Your Highness, be careful."
Hearing the shout, Xiao Jamyun looked up and felt a little light coming to him.
He thought to himself that it was not good, and quickly dodged to the side, but was still a little slow, and hit Xiao Jamel Yun's left arm directly.
Aliduo kept Duobang's advice in mind, and after shooting the arrow, he threw away his armor and ran towards the woods. Zhou Quan heard someone shouting, turned around and saw that Prince Xiao Jingyun had been hit by an arrow.
As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw the steep slope. Zhou Quan put his feet on the horse's back, jumped into the air, and jumped up the slope, just in time to see Ali Duo running into the dense forest.
Zhou Quan, without saying a word, showed off his body and chased after him. Zhou Quan was able to serve as the captain of the prince's bodyguard, and his kung fu was no boast.
At this time, a group of Royal Forest Army soldiers behind him immediately divided into two parts. Some people stayed on guard to treat the prince, and some people also chased him this way.
Everything went as Duobang expected. As soon as Aliduo entered the dense forest, he was overtaken by Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan swung his long sword and stabbed Aliduo in the back of the heart. Aliduo was not weak at all and he ducked past him.
The two of them went back and forth for a few times, but Aliduo couldn't do it. In the first place, martial arts was not his strong point. His strong point was strength.
Moreover, Alido didn't have any weapons at his disposal. He only had a hard bow to block him from left to right.
At this time, he remembered Duobang's instructions and couldn't help shouting, "Captain, captain, save me quickly."
Duobang, who was in the tree, heard this and knew he couldn't hide anymore.
No matter what Ali shouted, he quietly took out the crossbow, aimed at Zhou Quan, pulled the trigger, and shot out two short arrows.
When Zhou Quan heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, he calmly made a flower in the air with his long sword, leaned to the side, and dodged the two arrows.
Aliduo took the opportunity to turn around and run away, but after taking only two steps, Zhou Quan caught up with him again.
