He and Jia Chang are one, and if Jia Chang really goes to deal with Muchuan when his head is hot, he will follow him.
If Jia Chang plays tricks, he will also be finished.
He didn't know if Muchuan could move, he just knew that he was like an ant, anyone could trample him to death.
Not only him, but also Jia Chang.
Now that Jia Chang can be made to give up his previous thoughts, he really feels like he is surviving a disaster.
Muchuan on the other side had no idea that someone in this small county was still thinking of dealing with him.
After a night's rest, Muchuan and the others went to a carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage. They also went to a carriage shop to buy some mules and horses, so that they could carry their luggage when traveling overland.
Muchuan and everyone did some shopping, and the Ghost Faced Army also prepared supplies.
After two days of repairs in the county seat, Muchuan and the others finally left Wudang County and rushed back to Chang'an.
Jia Chang, the magistrate of Wudang, had been sending people to keep an eye on Muchuan during this period, but he made no move.
He didn't dare to make any other small moves, and he only stared at Muchuan because he had a reason to pretend that he didn't know Muchuan and didn't know Muchuan's identity.
However, when Muchuan and the others set off to leave Wudang County, Jia Chang left before Muchuan and then sent the news out.
Muchuan didn't know Jia Chang's little move. At this time, he, Sophia and Mingzhu were all sitting in the carriage.
Although I am still traveling under the blazing sun, I am already much stronger than before.
Basically, everyone has no supplies to carry on their backs. Everything is carried by mules, horses and carriages, so everyone will not be so tired.
To say that the journey is smooth sailing is really too luxurious.
In other words, the family simply didn't want Muchuan to return to Chang'an properly.
Not long after receiving the news from Jia Chang, a group of people came to Muchuan and set up an ambush on their only way.
Their superficial identities are a group of horse thieves.
However, judging from the way hundreds of them were traveling and the weapons and equipment they carried, they did not look like a group of savage horse thieves.
Zahur took fifty men as scouts to explore the road in front, one hundred men as the center army, and the remaining fifty men were the rear army to protect the carriage and baggage hall.
Although there was no fighting, Zahoor and the Ghost Faced Army marched in strict accordance with marching disciplines.
As they walked, they came to a valley.
Both sides of the valley are very steep, and the official road Muchuan and the others took was right in the middle of the valley.
If you want to go through the valley, you have to make sure there are no ambush.
Muchuan guessed that the Wang family would not know that he was going from here so quickly, nor did he believe that the Wang family would be able to follow him so quickly and know his whereabouts.
But Zahoor and the others insisted on acting cautiously, and Muchuan did not refuse.
"Okay, you're right. It's better to make more preparations than to actually encounter something. In this case, Zahoor, arrange for some people to go into the mountain to check."
Muchuan said to Zahoor.
Zahoor hit his chest and said solemnly: "Young master, don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, Zahoor selected a few men, brought crossbows and swords, and quickly climbed towards the peaks on both sides.
It should be said that the peaks on both sides are indeed relatively high and covered with trees. If someone is really hiding on top, people below will not be able to see it at all.
This is why Zahoor insisted on taking people in to investigate.
call out!
Just when Muchuan and Mingzhu were wiping their faces and chatting, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
It’s the sound of an arrow!
The sounding arrow uses the carved hollow design of the arrow. After it is launched, it will immediately make a screaming sound as it passes through the air.
This is also one of the ways people in ancient times deliberately issued warnings.
This ringing arrow was prepared by Muchuan for Zahur.
So when they heard this voice, Muchuan's and others' expressions changed instantly.
"There are enemies, be on guard!"
Muchuan roared.
All the ghost-faced soldiers immediately put on their armor, bent their bows and set up arrows, and formed a defensive formation.
Soon Zahoor and seven or eight of his men escaped from the peaks on both sides in embarrassment.
Looking at the half broken arrow still hanging on Zahoor's arm, Muchuan knew that it must have been very dangerous just now.
"How many people are up there?"
Muchuan asked Zahoor.
Zahoor gasped and said to Muchuan: "Sir, there are about four to five hundred people up there, but they are not ordinary bandits. Instead, they look like an army."
"You said they were like an army?"
Muchuan's voice was a little deep.
If they were simple bandits, Muchuan could take them lightly, but if they were bandits disguised as government soldiers, it would be difficult to deal with them.
Even though Muchuan had more than two hundred ghost-faced troops, the most important thing about the Tang Dynasty's army was its ordnance.
Sophisticated ordnance often allowed them to achieve outstanding feats when fighting against the barbarians.
Since this group of people might be disguised as the army, who can say for sure whether they brought their baggage or not.
Muchuan was a little worried, "Zahul, let everyone find a suitable place to hide temporarily."
"Here!"
Zahoor also knows that now is really not the right time for everyone to stay here.
If you wait for the enemy to come down the mountain for a while, they will be easily attacked.
So Zahoor didn't dare to delay, and immediately chose a place that he could avoid temporarily and asked everyone to move there.
Muchuan, on the other hand, led fifty ghost-faced troops to stay in place, guarding against the enemies on the mountain.
When everyone was almost ready to move, the "horse thieves" gathered from the mountain and rushed down.
Sure enough, these people were just like what Zahoor said.
Although it was quite chaotic when they rushed down from the mountain, within a few breaths, the group of them immediately gathered together like a military formation.
Not only that, they also brought the ordnance baggage that Muchuan was worried about.
The most important thing is that these people are wearing boots and all dressed the same.
It’s simply too obvious!
Apparently they just didn't know where the government soldiers were, and followed the Wang family to ambush him.
Muchuan looked at the leader of the group coldly.
A man wearing a black turban.
"Where are you from?"
Muchuan asked them in a cold voice.
The leader looked at Muchuan and his pupils shrank, "Haha, they say Master Mu is the smartest person in the world. Now it seems that he is right. He recognized our identities at just one glance. I really admire him."
"There's no need to say compliments. I'm just curious about your true identities."
Muchuan said calmly.
"It's hard to say this. Although I have successfully blocked Master Mu now, I still don't have absolute confidence that I can ensure that Master Mu will not fly away."
The leader's tone was very strict.
At least Muchuan's attempt to explore his background was unsuccessful.
The leader is also currently observing the more than fifty people here in Muchuan, and the ghost-faced army that has just moved to the other side is also waiting in full formation.
