At the same time, Ning Zhenwu led his team to block the reinforcements in the rear and also won the victory.

When the reinforcements led by Pei Wenyuan's right guard and their carriages entered the ambush circle, Ning Zhenwu gave an order and the soldiers of the Jingyong Army attacked bravely.

These regular troops fought a fierce battle with the enemy, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they defeated the enemy army. Some died, some were injured, and some surrendered. The battle soon came to an end.

The number of people led by Pei Wenyuan's right guard was not too large, only about a hundred people. Judging from their attire, they looked like a walking caravan.

They were accompanied by five carriages. The one in the first one carried the right guard. The other two carriages were carrying some clothes, food, and meat. The other two carriages were full of boxes.

He was too cunning and lied that they were a caravan at first. But it was obviously unreasonable for a caravan with only five carts of goods to have so many people and all of them were carrying knives.

What's more, Ning Zhenwu and his men recognized this person from the surveillance monitor and would never let them escape.

Back in Qingshan Town, General Chen Hai and Captain Luo led two teams of soldiers from the Jingyong Army respectively and successfully ambushed another group of Pei Wenyuan's men. Without much effort, they easily captured Pei Wenyuan's subordinate, Third Master Lou San, and the troops led by his deputy general.

These people were not regular soldiers. Most of them were recruited from the Western Chu State, and some were deceived and captured. They were just given medicine that made them lose their past memories, and then trained in Xiaoyao Villa. They had no fighting power at all. Only a few of them were from the Danrong State.

The Jingyong Army won a great victory in several battles that night, and everything has been settled.

When the night gradually faded and the sky was a little light, the troops returned to the base camp of the Jingyong Army in the suburbs of Beijing. In this battle, a total of 19 carriages were seized, more than 100 enemies were killed, and more than 1,200 were captured.

Before the team set off, Chu Chenjing had solemnly instructed the leading generals of each Jingyong Army team not to open or touch the items on the seized carriages without permission.

Chu Chenjing knew that the people in Xiaoyao Palace were good at using poison and traps. They sent so many people to transport the things in the car, which showed how cautious they were. So this thing must be very important, and they must have been prepared.

Fortunately, Chu Chenjing had given some advance warning. Although the groups of people were very puzzled about the locked box on the carriage, no one touched the lock on the box out of curiosity.

When they returned to the camp, it was already daybreak. They drove the confiscated carriages to the big tent in the barracks.

General Chen Hai first arranged for Captain Luo to take the soldiers to register the prisoners and then detain them. The other soldiers returned to the camp to rest, and only the guards stayed.

Chu Chenjing, Ning Zhenwu, General Chen Hai, Han Fengli and their guards all came to the captured carriages. They wanted to see what valuables were in the boxes that made them so anxious to transport them away without fear of being exposed.

General Ning Zhenwu first walked to the side of a carriage, opened the door of the carriage and said to the people present: "Among the carriages we confiscated, there are two carriages full of these wooden boxes, and each carriage has four boxes."

Han Fengli was walking around the carriage. He looked at the boxes in the carriage and was full of doubts: "A Jing, what are these boxes filled with? They shouldn't be weapons made in the caves as those people said, right?"

"Young Master, what kind of weapons can be put in this box? It doesn't look like it." Chu Feng said.

General Chen was also curiously guessing what was in the box.

Chu Chenjing's face was gloomy, his eyes were stern, and he said, "I met a man in black robes who came to rescue Pei Wenyuan. He threw a few small bombs at our soldiers. Could the box contain those small bombs?"

Ning Zhenwu, General Chen and others were shocked when they heard about the bomb. General Chen couldn't wait to speak: "Prince Jing, what small bomb? Did any of our people suffer any loss?"

Chu Chenjing frowned slightly and looked at everyone and said, "The power of that bomb is not very big, a little more powerful than firecrackers, but it also injured several of our soldiers."

"Your Highness, what's in this box is probably really that kind of small bomb!" Chu Feng said excitedly.

Everyone was thinking about what they saw on the surveillance camera last night. They saw Pei Wenyuan and his companions enter the cave. The boxes in front of them were already locked and waiting to be transported out. They did not see what was in the boxes.

"Ajing, let's open it and take a look!" Han Fengli said anxiously, staring at the box in the carriage.

"Then let's move the boxes off this carriage and take a look." Chu Chenjing said in a deep voice, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers of the guard to take action.

Several soldiers quickly stepped forward, lifted the four boxes off the carriage, and placed them steadily on the ground.

"Your Highness, I am willing to open this box." Chu Feng volunteered.

Chu Chenjing glanced at the lock on the box, frowned slightly, and said, "Let me take a look first."

"Your Highness." "Prince Jing," "Ah Jing," "Jing'er," everyone shouted worriedly when they heard that Chu Chenjing was going to come and open the box himself.

At this time, Song Zixu, whose shoulder had been bandaged by the military doctor, came over and said, "Junior brother, let me take a look."

"Senior brother, has your wound been bandaged?" Chu Chenjing asked with concern.

Song Zixu smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. I'll check if there's any poison on the lock."

Song Zixu checked the lock on the box and breathed a sigh of relief: "The lock is not smeared with poison, it can be opened normally."

Chu Feng walked up to Chu Chenjing and said, "Your Majesty, I will open the lock."

"Okay, but after the lock is opened, don't rush to open the lid." Chu Chenjing reminded.

"Okay!" Chu Feng responded, and used a piece of wire hidden on his body to fiddle with the lock for a while, and then he opened the lock. This was a unique skill taught to them by the princess, and the wire in his hand was also given by the princess.

"My Lord, it's open."

"Chu Feng, your lock-picking skills are so good now." Han Fengli teased.

"That's right." Chu Feng replied proudly.

After seeing Chu Feng successfully open the lock, Chu Chenjing pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "General Chen, uncle, all of you come over here, I will open the lid of the box soon." Chu Chenjing asked them to stand on the back of the box after the lid was opened.

He and Song Zixu looked at each other and nodded slightly. They both knew that Pei Wenyuan was proficient in mechanical engineering.

Everyone retreated to the back of the box lid and stared at Chu Chenjing nervously.

Chu Chenjing himself was also standing on the back of the box lid. He held a long sword in his hand, and used the sword along the edge of the box lid and his internal force to pry the lid open.
