After Qiao Ye drank the herbal tea, the guards no longer had any scruples and drank some to quench their thirst together. After Qiao Ye drank the herbal tea, he spread out the map in front of Princess Yongle.
"The official line has been attacked!" Qiao Ye said: "This means that our movements must have been known."
The official path is easy to follow, but it is definitely not the only way. The reason why I chose the official path is because it is dark under the lamp. From the perspective of normal people, Princess Yongle's future in the imperial capital is uncertain, and she will definitely not follow the official path.
march.
This trick is actually very useful. After passing Beishan, the convoy has passed through three counties and has not been ambushed when it leaves the central area until now.
Once an ambush occurs, it means that the whereabouts are exposed.
Although Lin Jie had to ask Qiao Ye to be his bodyguard, it was obvious that something was going to happen, but Qiao Ye was not cheap either. If he could avoid the ambush, he still had to find a way to avoid it. The only way was to deliver Princess Yongle safely to the imperial capital.
Princess Yongle said: "Then how do you plan to leave?"
"White River City." Qiao Ye said: "Take the waterway!"
The old man driving the cart said: "If you take the waterway, you will have no way out if you are ambushed."
"When you can't defeat the opponent, there is no retreat no matter what path you take." Qiao Ye said: "Besides, I have a flying boat!"
Qiao Ye has a flying boat, which Lin Jie must provide. It can only seat five people. It has a special storage space for treasures, just in case.
Flying boats are very useful, convenient and fast. King Ruyang is not poor, so of course there are some, but they are just useless. After all, there are also troubles with flying boats. They are too ostentatious. It is almost impossible to hide traces by flying boats, but it is a last resort.
You can still use it to run away. Anyway, when you run away, it means that your whereabouts are exposed.
Princess Yongle thought for a while and said, "Okay, but we have to stay in Baihe City for two days."
Qiao Ye asked doubtfully: "Huh?"
Princess Yongle didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "There will be another convoy that will continue to the imperial capital by land."
"Substitute?" Qiao Ye narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems that King Ruyang is not completely unprepared."
The arrangement of King Ruyang definitely cannot happen in Baihe City, so it will take two days.
The carriage was abandoned in the wilderness, the guards changed their costumes and became porters, and everyone pretended to be merchants delivering goods entering White River City.
Two days later, a ship left Baihe City along the Baihe River.
Entering Nanjiang from Baihe, even if you enter the south, the imperial capital is still within easy reach.
On the sixth day, Princess Yongle asked people to go ashore and buy some paper money. When the boat sailed along the river again, Princess Yongle threw all the paper money into the river.
The substitute of Princess Yongle...
died!
Princess Yongle was in a very bad mood. With her temperament, she obviously didn't want to see anyone die.
Qiao Ye looked a little indifferent to this, standing next to Princess Yongle and saying: "But they bought enough time. After crossing the Dadukou, they can go straight to the imperial capital. No one can kill you here, because,
This place already belongs to the emperor. If you die here, it will not be the King of Ruyang who will be embarrassed, but the current court."
Princess Yongle gritted her teeth and said, "Can you please stop telling me this now? She is my maid and she has grown up with me."
"Then what?" Qiao Ye said with an indifferent expression: "She is going to die."
Princess Yongle glared at Qiao Ye and said, "When you say this, are you still humane?"
Qiao Ye showed a bit of disdain and asked: "Don't you know? When your father enters the imperial capital, many people will die? When the time comes, will you cry one by one?"
Princess Yongle was speechless, leaving only silence.
Qiao Ye doesn't care who dies, or even his own life or death, he just wants to live. Of course, no one wants to die. If he has to die, then at least his death must be worthwhile.
When King Ruyang went to Beijing, he was bound to be greeted by a bloody storm. Therefore, Qiao Ye could not understand Princess Yongle's compassion.
Because everyone involved in this matter should be prepared to die, even Qiao Ye, a martial arts native.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the roar of the guards came from the stern of the ship, and then Qiao Ye heard the sound of swords clashing.
Qiao Ye looked unmoved. This was something he had already guessed.
After passing Dadukou, we are at the foot of the emperor. If we want to ambush, this is the last place.
Therefore, whether by land, water, or even flying boat, Qiao Ye believes that he will encounter an ambush. The other party will definitely seize this last opportunity. Therefore, all the main roads leading to the imperial capital will inevitably be ambushed.
Dadukou, of course, is no exception!
Qiaoye grabbed Princess Yongle's arm and pulled her behind him. At this moment, a dozen throwing hooks were thrown up and hung on the railing of the bow. There were ropes hanging below the throwing hooks.
He grabbed the rope and quickly climbed onto the boat.
The moment the opponent jumped onto the deck, Qiao Ye stretched out his hand and shook his hand forward. Black smoke appeared, lingering around Qiao Ye's arm. Soon, a black euphorbia appeared in Qiao Ye's hand.
Qiao Ye took a step forward, sweeping the black halberd in his hand.
Poof, poof!
The sound of flesh and blood being torn suddenly sounded. The bodies of the two men who had just jumped onto the ship were cut into two pieces by Qiao Ye's halberd. Blood and internal organs were everywhere on the deck.
"You defeated a demonizer of the seventh level of the Demon Sect Realm, absorbed the power of the martial soul, and obtained the martial soul value: 26,000 points."
"You defeated a demonizer of the seventh level of the Demon Sect Realm, absorbed the power of the martial soul, and obtained the martial soul value: 24,000 points."
…
But the moment Qiao Ye killed two people, more people jumped up from the water and landed on the deck.
Qiao Ye raised his head and glanced at the people on board the boat, and said in a cold voice: "Is this really true that Tu Qiong Dagger saw it and just let everyone in the Demon Hall take action without even covering up?"
The demons who rushed onto the boat were all wearing the unique costumes of the demons, and they obviously had no intention of concealing their identities.
One of the demon hall members sneered, looked at Qiao Ye and said: "We are here to destroy the water bandits, we are aboveboard, why do we need to hide our identity?"
Qiao Ye sighed and said: "Sure enough, if you want to be successful these days, it is very important to be thick-skinned. How can you say such shameless words without blushing or out of breath?"
Under the emperor's feet, water bandits were actually suppressed?
This is treating people like fools!
"It's useless to talk more." The demon hall member said: "Anyway, you have to die here."
Qiao Ye smiled and said: "Then let's give it a try. I'm also very curious, is there anyone who can let me die here today?"
Qiao Ye stood with his halberd crossed, his body surrounded by black smoke. He showed no fear at all, but his eyes were colder as he glanced past the demon hall members.
