At this time, Qian Yueshan also rushed over immediately. After seeing the surrounding situation, his face was cold and he immediately pulled out his sword.

"Protect the prince!" Qian Yueshan led people to stand in front of Su Zhaoyang.

Su Zhaoyang is Liu Zhongqing's most important chess piece, and he cannot let Su Zhaoyang die in front of him.

It's just that this is a surprise attack, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.

Not only must you resist the enemy's crossbows and cold arrows, but you must also be wary of ambushes in the deep forest.

Su Zhaoyang observed the surrounding environment while dodging.

Their camp was set up in a dense forest, but the surrounding woods were dense and blocked their sight, making it impossible to identify their direction.

What's going on, someone dares to rob the royal army and horses?

Fortunately, the opponent's crossbows probably didn't have many arrows. After three rounds of shooting, they stopped.

At this time, Qian Yueshan and a dozen elites had formed an iron barrel-like formation. Fortunately, they were elite soldiers of the Liu family and were fully equipped. There were shield soldiers in front of them to block arrows, and spearmen in the back to resist the surprise attack.

Su Zhaoyang looked around and found that there were originally several hundred people in the transport team, but now there were only a few dozen.

Oops...have they been killed? Did the other party come for these 100,000 shi of food?

Su Zhaoyang looked worried and had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, rustling sounds came from all around, and people wearing black scarves came out of the woods one after another.

"It is indeed the royal army, but it is stronger than us!" The leader laughed, seeming to be very disdainful of the struggle of Su Zhaoyang and others.

Half of his face was covered, but Su Zhaoyang could see from the torch held by the other man that there seemed to be a long scar on the man's face, from the top of his head to the lower part covered by a black scarf.

"Who are you? You know it's a royal carriage, but you still dare to sneak attack. Aren't you afraid of being copied by the nine tribes?" Su Zhaoyang scolded, but he secretly screamed that something was wrong.

This group of assassins was obviously well prepared. There were only about 200 of them, while the enemy was densely packed with nearly 200 people. Moreover, the enemy was well-equipped and even had crossbows.

"Hahaha, you little brat with no fur, you really think I'm stupid. We'll kill you all today, and tomorrow we can loot the emperor's treasure house! The day after tomorrow, maybe I will sit on that dragon chair too.

sit!"

His wild laughter spread throughout the jungle.

The other masked men in black scarves also laughed when they heard this, and seemed to have a different kind of hatred for the royal family.

Moreover, this was already a brazen rebellion. The opponent not only had bows and arrows, but also swords and guns. The Wu Dynasty had a strict control system for its weapons.

The Wu Dynasty had rules. Anyone who hid weapons secretly would be killed!

The crime of rebellion is the top priority, and the nine tribes will be punished!

It is impossible for civilians to possess such elite equipment. Unless...

"Where on earth did you come from as thieves?!"

Su Zhaoyang's words made them stunned for a moment, and the leader laughed loudly, "What, you still have time to care about this when you are about to die?"

They seemed very satisfied and had no worries about failure.

Because they have enough numbers and equipment, and these people are far inferior to them in terms of martial arts and physical strength.

Su Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and endured the pain without saying a word, but there was a huge wave of panic in his heart.

If these people are not thieves and have so many weapons, they are probably traitors.

Could it be that they took advantage of the flood in Jingzhou to make a fortune from the refugees.

Looking at their weapons again and looking closely at the logo of the Wu Dynasty government on them, Su Zhaoyang's pupils shrank sharply.

"Is this an official sword?" Su Zhaoyang blurted out.

"So what, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow." The leader of the black scarf mocked disdainfully.

Su Zhaoyang's mind was spinning rapidly. They were so powerful and their sneak attack plan was quite skillful. It was obviously not the first time they had done this kind of thing. Why had they never heard of it before?

He turned his head and glanced at Qianyue Mountain. The other person seemed to be even more frightened. He was trembling with his sword in both hands, and even his lips were pale in color.

Su Zhaoyang closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

If they all died here, the hundred thousand stones of grain and their corpses would be completely buried in this desolate wilderness.

Finally, he made up his mind and asked Li Yunxing's bodyguard to leave first and pass the news to the prince.

"Follow me! Kill the enemy!" Su Zhaoyang shouted, taking the lead in charging towards the assassin on the opposite side with his sword.

The leader of the black scarf was not afraid when he saw this, and led his men to fight with Su Zhaoyang.

Moreover, the opponent seems to be very familiar with the terrain and has the advantage of the right time and place.

Although Qian Yueshan and others are highly skilled in martial arts, after all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.

A group of masked men in black scarves swarmed in. Qianyue Mountain and the remaining twenty guards around King Zhaoyang tried their best to resist, but they were still defeated, and the opponent quickly caught their weakness.

Li Yunxing's personal guards took advantage of the chaos to get on their horses and rushed all the way to deliver the message to Li Yunxing. However, after all, the raid was at night, and even so they were seriously injured.

There were sounds of swords clashing all around. Their real purpose was to rob food, and killing Su Zhaoyang and others was to avoid leaking the news.

Therefore, when the night was dark and the wind was high, they had secretly emerged from the woods, and silently killed the soldiers at the end of the team in the darkness.

Su Zhaoyang desperately protected the four or five grain trucks in front of him and refused to give up. However, there were too many people on the other side, and he was soon forced to retreat step by step.

The few of them were surrounded in a circle and could only engage in a final fight to trap the beast. The more they fought, the more they suffered, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"So, you met the robbers at night, and Su Zhaoyang asked you to escape and send a message to me?" Li Yunxing asked.

The guard nodded. Although he did not see the result, he could probably guess that the remaining people were probably in danger.

Li Yunxing naturally understands this truth.

Whether Su Zhaoyang dies or not, he has no idea in his mind.

But the people of Jingzhou were waiting for the 100,000 shi of food to save their lives. This group of people dared to openly rob the royal family of food and grass. How audacious!

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulged, and strong evil aura erupted from all over his body.

"There is actually a rebellion in Jingzhou, why have I never received any news?" Li Yunxing roared angrily.

"Your Highness, there should be spies in Jingzhou City. This news is deliberately blocked!"

Li Yunxing slapped the table hard, "Okay! I think they are tired of living."

The guard said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, the people of Jingzhou still need your protection. Please return to Beijing as soon as possible and dispatch the imperial army to support us."

Li Yunxing closed his eyes, controlled his surging anger, and took a long breath.

"You need to rest first." Li Yunxing waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Yes." The guard said respectfully.
