The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 140 Mu Chuan was attacked
Mu Chuan led the team of carriages and horses all the way north. Fortunately, the people sent by the emperor were relatively reliable, and the journey was relatively smooth without encountering any major troubles. As they got closer and closer to the north, Mu Chuan's mood became noticeably happier. Seeing that they were less than a hundred miles away from the border town, he saw that the carriages and horses and his men looked a little tired, so he decided to let everyone rest.
"Captain Xu, I see everyone is a little tired. Let's take a break. We are getting close to the border town!" Mu Chuan said politely to Captain Xu.
Everyone knew the reason why the emperor gave this task to the second prince, it was just to let this prince gild himself. The second prince behaved humble and polite along the way, which surprised him a little, but they didn't say much, as long as they did their job well.
Captain Xu looked at the nearby terrain and frowned. This place was located in a canyon, with mountains on both sides. Although this was an official road, it was not safe.
"Second Prince, why don't we wait until the next post station to rest? It's not that far away anyway." Captain Xu neither agreed directly nor refuted him. He just suggested the next post station.
Mu Chuan was a little unhappy when he heard this, thinking: "Why is this man so stubborn?" But on the surface he still kept smiling and said: "Captain Xu, we have been traveling all the way, and the soldiers are very tired. Taking a break can restore their physical strength and increase the marching speed."
Captain Xu was silent for a moment, then replied: "Second Prince, you are right, but the terrain here is complicated and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy. If we stay here, I am afraid it will be dangerous."
After hearing this, Mu Chuan thought to himself, "Is this guy deliberately making excuses to prevent us from resting?" But he did not show it, and continued to persuade, "Captain Xu, we can send some soldiers to patrol the surrounding area to ensure safety, so there will be no problem."
Captain Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to Mu Chuan's proposal. So everyone stopped the carriage and prepared to rest.
Just as everyone stopped and prepared to sit down to rest, Captain Xu suddenly frowned. He keenly noticed that there seemed to be some unusual movement on the mountains on both sides. He immediately became alert, tightly grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and scanned the surrounding mountains.
"Get up, get up. Enemy attack!!!" Captain Xu shouted in a low voice, his voice revealing tension and vigilance. Upon hearing the voice, the soldiers stood up one after another, holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible enemy.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, there was a roar from the mountain, followed by countless huge rocks rolling down. These rocks hit everyone like raindrops, causing many casualties in an instant. The second prince was also panicked at this time, and picked up his sword to try to resist the falling rocks from the mountain, but with little effect.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. Get out of here!" Captain Xu shouted loudly. He knew that he couldn't let everyone be trapped here and had to get out of danger as soon as possible. However, there were a lot of stones piled up on the road, and the carriage couldn't move forward quickly.
Captain Xu had a dual responsibility, guarding the food and the second prince. He stood firmly in front of the second prince with a long knife in hand, ready to deal with any threats at any time. At this time, the falling rocks on the mountain gradually decreased, and they had to seize this opportunity to leave quickly. However, the enemies on the mountain obviously did not intend to let them go easily, and two groups of people rushed down from the two sides of the mountain. These people were dressed like bandits, and everyone had a cloth covering their face, making it difficult to see their faces.
As soon as they came down the mountain, the group rushed straight to the food and grass, trying to rob this batch of important supplies. The second prince and his men had already suffered varying degrees of injuries from the falling rocks, and now faced with the attack of this group of bandits, they seemed a little powerless. Gradually, many people fell to the ground due to their serious injuries and could not continue to fight. At the same time, Captain Xu was besieged by more enemies, and they seemed to have a clear goal - to assassinate the second prince. This made Captain Xu very worried, and he was more and more certain that his previous guess was correct.
The second prince watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, and his heart was filled with fear and panic.
The other side also noticed that the man with the knife was quite powerful, so they tacitly entangled Captain Xu and slowly led Captain Xu to the side. The Second Prince's side became even more difficult. He found that Captain Xu was entangled by someone and his men could not get over.
Although he also knows martial arts, he can only protect himself. No, it is difficult for him to protect himself now, and slowly he starts to get injured.
"Quick victory"
At the command of the gang leader, the gangsters attacked even more fiercely. The second prince was beaten back again and again. He watched Captain Xu getting farther and farther away from him. He could no longer hold back and shouted, "Captain Xu, save me!"
Captain Xu was also in a difficult situation at this time, with four or five people attacking him at the same time. He sighed in his heart, is this the end of him today?
"Charge!" Just when the Second Prince and Captain Xu were extremely anxious, the sound of horse hooves was heard. A group of soldiers came from the north. Looking at their armor, they knew they were soldiers from the border town. Although there were not many of them, only about fifty people, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the flag.
"Second Prince, we are here!" The leader, Jiang Ying, rode over on horseback, holding a long sword in hand, and blocked the knife that the bandits were slashing at for the Second Prince. The Second Prince was so scared that he sat down on the ground, then he immediately got up and said with an awkward smile:
"Thank you, General Jiang."
"Second Prince, you are too polite. Our prince was afraid that someone would cause trouble here, so he sent his subordinates to pick you up. I didn't expect that there were really people who were so blind." After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he began to deal with the bandits, but the more he fought, the more he felt that they did not look like bandits. Why did they look a bit like them?
With the joining of Jiang Ying, the bandits were slowly killed. Finally, Jiang Ying was cautious and captured the bandit leader alive. He felt that the other party's methods were a little strange.
