When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Just look at his murderous look and you will understand!

Those who stayed behind were busy with their own work, taking a rest and cooking on the spot. The guard team ahead had gone to clear the road, and they must be hungry when they came back, so they had to eat something good today to replenish their energy.

Xie Jiu rode at full speed and finally caught up with the escort team. He saw that they were divided into three small teams, keeping a certain distance and advancing together.

Xie Jiu caught up with Ye Qingfeng, the captain of the escort team. He rode at the same pace as Ye Qingfeng and said to him, "There is an ambush in the bushes in the depression."

Ye Qingfeng saw that he was frowning and thought, why are you running here instead of staying in front of Manager Wei?

He asked, "How is Shopkeeper Wei?"

Xie Jiu was silent for a moment and said, "The doctor said that his life is not in danger."

Ye Qingfeng was relieved, and he was not so repulsive towards Xie Jiu anymore. Since the shopkeeper was fine, it was easy to understand why Xie Jiu came over.

He came to avenge the shopkeeper.

Since we all have the same goal, let's kill the enemy together.

Soon they arrived at the depression where the bandits were lying in ambush. The long thatched grass swayed gently in the wind. Ye Qingfeng made a gesture and everyone slowed down and slowly stopped.

Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and shouted, "Crossbowmen, get ready!"

Everyone in the team following him held crossbows in their hands and aimed in the direction of the thatch.

"Shoot!" As Ye Qingfeng's voice fell, the sound of arrows flying out was heard continuously, and then the sound of "Ah! Ah..." came from the bushes.

But Xie Jiu frowned. The sparse sound seemed wrong. There seemed to be too few people.

Xie Jiu quickly told Ye Qingfeng about his doubts. Ye Qingfeng looked up and looked around, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will all jump out in a moment."

Xie Jiu also followed his gaze and observed around the road. Sure enough, there was a depression here and a high hill not far away, which was also suitable for an ambush.

But since Ye Qingfeng already knew it, why was he still so calm? Wasn’t he afraid of being made a fool of himself?

Ye Qingfeng gave an order to the people on his left and right, and part of the team was taken away to run forward. Along the way, they shot a few arrows into tall grass wherever they saw it, regardless of whether there were people there or not.

After a while, someone got off his horse, cleared the way with a knife, and used the knife to cut away the thatch that was in the way. Behind him followed someone aiming with a crossbow.

He would shoot at anyone he saw, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, and he didn't cherish his arrows at all, acting like a wealthy man.

Xie Jiu's eyes sparkled as he looked at the continuous firing of crossbow arrows. This weapon was so advanced that it could fire continuously. Their army didn't even have such a good thing.

No wonder Ye Qingfeng looked fearless. If a horse bandit ran into something like this, it would definitely be the horse bandit who would die! There was no suspense at all. This was a crushing victory in terms of strength.

But how did Weidong get this thing? Where did he buy it?

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

Think carefully!

But considering Weidong's personality, he doesn't seem like an ambitious or treacherous person.

But this crossbow is equivalent to a military weapon, and Wei Dong has obviously exceeded the limit. However, combined with what the doctor said, it is understandable. After all, this trade route is indeed full of dangers.

The value brought by this trade route is so tempting that even if he is a prince, he cannot resist the temptation of such huge benefits, let alone ordinary people.

But can a person who possesses so many weapons and equipment that even the military does not have still be an ordinary person?

His heart was pounding nervously. Weidong, can I trust you?

Although King Dongshan himself had no ambition to rule the country.

But he was afraid that others would threaten their kingdom. Even if his father was a bastard, his royal blood made him stubbornly believe that the world should belong to their family.

This is also in line with the thinking cultivated by his environment. No matter how much all the royal princes fight, the country will pass from one prince to another.

Overall, they did not break away from their family clan.

But Weidong...is not from their family.

Even though he wanted to take Weidong as his own and become a family with him, he only thought about it in his mind and did not dare to really challenge the clan etiquette.

Therefore, he still has a bottom line in his heart, and this bottom line is that the royal status cannot be shaken.

If Weidong's weapons were only for his own caravan, there was nothing wrong with that.

As long as he does not get involved in the royal faction, he will secretly protect his interests from being violated.

The guard team cleared out more than a dozen bodies of horse bandits, but Xie Jiu went through a difficult decision in his heart and finally decided to investigate Wei Dong's background.

He felt that he couldn't understand Weidong again.

Guard Captain Ye Qingfeng looked at the bandits being dragged out and said with a click of his tongue: "Just these few?"

"There are no more nearby, just these few!" a guard replied with a fist salute.

Ye Qingfeng didn't care much, he said calmly while sitting on the horse:

"Then let's look for more! The ones who dare to ambush us so blatantly can't be just these few small fry, there must be others."

"Yes!" The guards formed a team of five and dispersed in several directions.

Soon, there was a sound of firecrackers exploding in the distance. Ye Qingfeng raised his lips and said, "It seems we have found it. Let's go!"

Everyone tacitly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from, where a fierce battle had already begun.

As soon as Xie Jiu arrived at the scene, he saw the man who shot an arrow from behind. He recognized this face. This was the man who wanted to attack him and Wei Dong from behind.

He drew out his goose-feather knife and, without further ado, chopped at the man!

The two men fought extremely fiercely, and both were trying to kill each other.

One of the guards scratched his face and asked the captain: "Should we help? Why is he fighting so hard? We can kill the bandit with one arrow."

Ye Qingfeng held a piece of grass in his mouth and said nonchalantly: "When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other! Do you understand? He is seeking revenge. He will not be grateful to you for helping him at this time, unless he cannot defeat him."

"Oh..." The guard let out a long "oh" and watched the show with peace of mind.

After several waves of crossbow arrows shot at the bandits underground, there were few who were left uninjured. Except for those who fought desperately with Xie Jiu, the others were either dead or injured, and the ground was in a mess.

The bandit's swordsmanship was pretty good, but the more Xie Jiu fought, the more frightened he became! This was because the swordsmanship used by this bandit had some traces of their army's swordsmanship.

Although not all of them, there are many moves in it that are killing moves used by the army to kill the enemy. If I didn't know this set of swordsmanship myself, I might have been ambushed by him.

After all, this set of swordsmanship is pure killing skills!

Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes. He had always thought that this person's target was Weidong's caravan, but now it seemed that he might have brought this disaster upon himself.
