Qingfeng stopped the carriage and realized that all the people who had been following them and accompanying them to transport the salt were gone.
Qingfeng suddenly sounded the alarm and pulled out the long sword placed under the driver's seat.
"Master, we are surrounded. If I read correctly, it should be the group of people we just delivered the goods to."
When Ruan Tang stopped the carriage at Qingfeng, he vaguely guessed that something was wrong.
really!
Ruan Tang was glad to have Qingfeng with him.
"Can you take them all down?"
"Natural!" Qingfeng laughed.
He didn't take these people seriously.
"Master, you stay in the car and don't come out. I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying that, Qingfeng flew out, and soon there were wailing sounds from outside.
But the wailing sound only lasted for a moment, and soon there was only the sound of rain hitting the trees outside.
Qingfeng returned to the driving position.
But before they could walk out again, another group of strong men rushed out.
"Are you coming?" Qingfeng shouted angrily.
When Ruan Tang heard what he said, he also opened the curtain and looked outside.
Good guy, there are at least ten or twenty people surrounding their carriage now, which is comparable to a small elite force.
Do we have to capture them?
"Qingfeng, there are so many people here, do you think you can succeed?"
"Of course there is."
As one of the masters of martial arts, how could Qingfeng say that he was unsuccessful?
I saw him flying out again, and soon he was fighting with those strong men.
But after all, the opponent has a large number of people, and no matter how powerful Qingfeng is, it is impossible to kill everyone in an instant.
Moreover, those people have obviously undergone special training, they are all brave and good at fighting, and their alertness is particularly high.
It didn't take long for Qingfeng to be entangled by a small group of people.
On Ruan Tang's side, two strong men rushed up with clear goals and went straight to pull her box of gold.
How could Ruan Tang be willing to let go?
This was the money she earned at the risk of beheading.
She hugged the box tightly and shouted: "Qingfeng, help."
But Qingfeng here heard her voice and kicked two people around him away with a roundhouse kick before he was able to fly up.
He immediately flew back to the carriage and killed the person who was snatching the box from Ruan Tang with a sword.
But everyone else soon came around, and their carriage was immediately surrounded by water.
Soon, those strong men swarmed up, and Qingfeng started fighting with them again.
Ruan Tang and Chun Han hid in the corner of the carriage, holding the box of gold in their arms, looking at the scene of the fight outside in shock.
At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the sound of arrows piercing the air came. One of the strong men groaned, and he fell down, twitching a few times and then stopped moving.
The accident happened so quickly. When the group of strong men reacted, there was another sound of arrows piercing the air. Then, several arrows flew towards them through the rainy night.
Several fell down with arrows.
Qingfeng had already ducked out of the way when the first arrow came through the air.
When the group of strong men started to jump off the carriage to escape, he pulled the horse's rope, turned around, whipped the horse's butt hard with his whip, and the carriage ran wildly towards the mountain forest.
Here, four or five of the group of strong men were attacked and fell down. The remaining ones reacted, immediately found a place to hide, and then sent out a signal.
Where the arrow was sent, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a dozen men in black clothes appeared in front of them sitting on horseback.
The leading man was wearing a pure black robe, and his whole body was hidden in the dark night, blending into the night.
There was lightning and thunder, and the light of lightning allowed everyone to see a little bit of the man's appearance, but only for a moment.
Everyone felt that this man's face was as dark as that of a seductive ghost, and everyone noticed that he was holding a small crossbow in his hand, which gave off a faint light in the dark night.
Those arrows just now must have been shot by him.
The group of strong men who witnessed their companions being shot to death immediately dispersed. To be able to accurately shoot down a man in such a dark night and on a rainy day, one can imagine how advanced that man's archery skills were.
Moreover, the dozen or so people in this group seemed to be no ordinary people. Their target was the people on the carriage, so there was no need to fight these people head-on.
"Your Highness, are you chasing me?" Nanfeng looked at the people fleeing in all directions and turned to ask Chu Mu who was leading them.
But Chu Mu just looked at the direction in which the carriage was escaping, with a faint look in his eyes, and did not answer his words.
After a while, Nanfeng said again: "The people on the carriage must be the ones who smuggled the well salt. Your Highness, how about we chase them first?"
A month ago, people from Chu Mu found out that there were people making weapons privately in Dianzhou, and it was very possible that they also had private soldiers stationed here.
Making weapons privately and raising private soldiers is the rhythm of preparing for rebellion.
His nephew, the emperor, who couldn't stand up to the wall, only had fun day by day.
If he didn't find out clearly, he would never know when this country would change hands.
He promised the imperial brother that he would protect the country for him and support his useless nephew.
Therefore, he secretly came here with a dozen soldiers, just to find out who was so brave.
After more than half a month of investigation, they finally got some clues about the matter.
It turns out that this place may not only be used for privately manufacturing weapons and raising private soldiers, but also for other shady transactions.
Smuggling well salt is one of them.
They searched for a long time before they found out that the trading base was here.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived here, I met Hei Chihei.
"Chase!"
Chu Mu gave the order and rode his horse alone to chase the carriage in the direction of escape.
Nanfeng and the dozens of guards behind him also quickly rode up to follow. Suddenly, in the rainy night, the patter of raindrops was mixed with the clatter of horse hooves, and they disappeared into the forest in a moment.
After Ruan Tang and others escaped in a carriage, they galloped into the depths of the mountain forest.
It is not convenient to drive in the dark, and it is also rainy, so the visibility is even lower. Qingfeng, who is driving the car, is like a blind man trying to find the road. He has no idea where to go.
The carriage was galloping for what seemed like a quarter of an hour, when suddenly the horse let out a shrill roar, and then began to lose its rhythm. After running for a while, it fell down.
The carriage was also rolled over on its side.
Everything happened so fast that no one on the carriage could react.
After Qingfeng fell, he rolled several times before standing up.
At the same time, he also noticed that the horse lying aside had an arrow stuck in its leg, glowing coldly in the dark night.
His heart sank, and without any time to think, he got up and headed straight to the carriage.
Ruan Tang and Chun Han in the carriage were even more miserable than him. They didn't know what happened at all. They just felt that the sky was turning around and their bodies were being hit hard against the wooden wall of the carriage.
Before he could cry out in pain, he was thrown out of the carriage, and the box of gold rolled out of the carriage, falling out, and the gold was scattered all over the floor.
Ruan Tang's forehead hit one of the gold pieces hard, and the pain made her burst into tears instantly.
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the place where she was hit. Her face, which was soaked by the rain, seemed to be mixed with heat.
She took her hands off her head and spread them in front of her eyes, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
But she knew it was probably broken.
Because the rain hit that place, the pain was severe.
Qingfeng ran over and helped them both up.
At this moment, a man riding a horse and wearing black clothes appeared in the sight of the three people.
Behind him, the sound of horse hooves continued, and within a moment, behind him were a dozen men wearing black clothes who were also riding horses.
