The prince is very cruel

The total distance was fifty miles, and Guan Ning walked thirty-five miles, but still found nothing.

The sun gradually set and the sky grew darker. Guan Ning gradually gave up the idea of ​​assassinating on this road and thought that he would look for an opportunity after arriving in Guangling City.

But at this moment, suddenly, there was a ray of hope.

"Where is the mountain!" Lou Xinyue exclaimed.

Guan Ning looked and saw a small hill about seven or eight stories high on one side of the Baima Official Road at the end of the road. The hill was covered with dense vegetation, which was just right for hiding and overlooking the entire Baima Official Road.

“What a great place!”

"Let's go over and see what's behind the mountain. If there's a mountain road and jungle connected to it, that would be a perfect retreat route. Maybe we can give it a try!" Guan Ning liked it at first sight. As a top special forces soldier in his previous life, this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

"it is good!"

The two of them rode their horses at full speed, rushed out of the Baima Official Road, and then went up the mountain.

The road was covered with thorns, tall trees stood tall, and the ground was full of uneven stones. The two Ferghana horses had a hard time walking, and it was definitely not conducive to the passage of the army!

Going further up, you can overlook the Baima Official Road.

Guan Ning and the other person rushed to the top and looked behind the mountain.

"It's a valley. There are valleys behind it. Although there are not as many as in Bashu, it is enough to get rid of the pursuers. Once we enter here, no matter how many troops there are, they will be helpless!" Guan Ning's eyes lit up. As far as the eye can see, there are continuous valleys, deserted and uninhabited.

Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were bright as she looked out over the valley: "We've found a retreat route."

"We've found a place for an ambush."

"How do you want to assassinate me?"

Guan Ning was about to say something when suddenly, his eyes flashed and he subconsciously looked at the ground on one side. Because it had rained a few days ago, the ground was not completely dry and was a little soft, and there were actually quite a few footprints left.

He was startled: "Shh!"

Lou Xinyue's body tensed up instantly, and she also saw the footprints.

Guan Ning tied up the horse, gave a look, and tiptoed along the footprints with Lou Xinyue.

This was an emergency. Why were there so many people in this desolate mountain? Who could they be?

Guan Ning's first reaction was bandits, but that didn't make sense.

The two held their breath, pushed aside the thorns, and searched bit by bit. After passing through the thorn bushes, they saw a wild meadow in front of them with many blooming flowers.

At this time, the two began to hear bursts of subtle sounds of moving and talking. Although they were very faint, it was obvious that there were people, and quite a lot of them!

As they got closer, the outline of the figure became clearer and clearer. Guan Ning was shocked. Who could it be?

He tentatively stuck his head out of the bushes to see what was going on, but as luck would have it, he bumped into a face opposite him!

Their eyes met, and at that moment, both of them were stunned.

The air was suffocated for a short time... Then, the man shouted in fear: "Someone, someone!!"

The sound was so loud that it startled the entire hillside.

In an instant, all the people gathered here drew their swords and rushed forward, there were more than thirty of them!

Swish swish!

They surrounded Guanning from several directions.

Guan Ning was also speechless. What a coincidence?

He could have escaped, but he didn't do so at the first moment, because although the people who came were mysterious, they were not government officials, and they were not dressed like bandits. Instead, they looked like a group of knights, and their eyes did not have that kind of cruel and sinister look.

Swish, swish, swish...almost all the thirty or so people drew their swords.

Lou Xinyue's beautiful face changed. Of course she would not sit still and wait for death. She drew out her sword, and the light was so cold that it spread ten miles away. The leaves of the trees nearby trembled and fell.

When the two sides were about to fight, Guan Ning stopped Lou Xinyue in time.

He said, "Everyone, my husband and I are just passing by. We don't mean to offend you. Please don't misunderstand me."

The polite tone and peaceful conversation did not sound malicious at all.

The thirty or so people looked at each other nervously, seemingly unsure of what to do.

Guan Ning keenly noticed the nervousness in their expressions, as if they had done something and were afraid of being discovered. He couldn't help but look back and saw huge rocks being carried to the edge of the cliff, all hung by ropes.
