Ji Yunkai, who was pregnant, was undoubtedly a key target of protection. Even if the prince did not mention it, Ji Yunkai would not have thought of accompanying the army to confront Beichen's army.
The sword has no eyes, who knows what will happen on the battlefield. For safety reasons, Ji Yunkai chose to sneak into Yanbei with the prince first.
"Bring Mo Mo with you." Although the silver-eyed brat is powerful, in Ji Yunkai's eyes, a child is just a child and needs to be protected by an adult. If the prince wants to take her back first, her first reaction is to take the silver-eyed brat with him, lest he
There was an oversight on the battlefield and the child was injured.
However, Mo Qixi and Lingxing refused: "No, Mo Mo has the ability to protect himself, just let him follow us."
Their children cannot rely on Ji Yunkai to take care of them all their lives. Mo Mo will have to leave Ji Yunkai and learn to be independent. Now is an opportunity.
As an outsider, Ji Yunkai had no right to interfere with Mo Qixi and Lingxing's discipline of their children. She mentioned it again, but Mo Qixi and Lingxing still disagreed, so Ji Yunkai stopped talking and told the silver-eyed kid.
Together with the prince, he left Beichen through the channels of private transactions between Beichen and Yan Bei.
The smuggling situation in Beichen and Yanbei is particularly serious. Although the people above are aware of the private transactions between the two places, and even the biggest masters behind them are the people in power in the two places, this kind of thing can be discussed in private and must not be left out.
Do it openly.
The place where the two countries conduct private transactions is located deep in the canyon. Half of this canyon belongs to Beichen and half to Yanbei. It is the headquarters of smuggling between the two places. Except for people involved in private transactions in the two places, no one knows about the existence of this place. Ordinary people do not know the existence of this place.
You can't get in, and you can't get out once you get in.
Of course, a place like this can't stop the prince, and the people here can't stop him either.
The prince took Ji Yunkai and rushed to the canyon overnight, preparing to join the people from Yanbei.
The journey went smoothly, and the prince and Ji Yunkai entered the canyon at dawn. But just when the prince and Ji Yunkai were about to walk out of Beichen's territory, a "ha" sound suddenly came from above the canyon, and countless people suddenly appeared above the canyon.
…
"King Yanbei, just surrender and capture him. We already guessed that you would appear here." Above the canyon, Beichen's general shouted loudly.
The prince knew this road, and Emperor Beichen naturally knew it too. After knowing that the prince rushed to the border, Emperor Beichen ordered people to set up an ambush here.
He guessed that Xiao Jiu'an would definitely pass through here, so he was right.
"Since you guessed that I will appear here, have you guessed whether I have any other backup plans?" The prince was clearly standing in the canyon, but his voice spread above and reached the ears of Beichen soldiers.
"The King of Yanbei is indeed very capable." The leading general was the deputy general who saw the King of Yanbei with his own eyes that day and took Beichen's head out of ten thousand people.
At that time, he was closest to the general who was beheaded by the prince in public. He saw the prince's strength with his own eyes and felt the terror of the prince himself.
He originally thought that with one of them at the top and the other at the bottom, he should be the one with the awe-inspiring aura, but he didn't expect... He was once again overwhelmed by the aura of King Yanbei.
King Yanbei's momentum is so strong that it is not affected by region and space at all.
"I advise you to turn back now, maybe... you can still save your life." The prince's voice reached the top of the canyon again, and the Beichen soldiers who were clearly at an advantage couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.
Is it possible that King Yanbei really has other arrangements?
The leading general was also uneasy, but they could not retreat at this time. Rather than retreating cowardly, he was more willing to take a gamble, betting that King Yanbei was exaggerating, and betting that King Yanbei was blackmailing them.
"Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of King Yanbei. He knows he can't defeat us, so he deliberately speaks cruel words in order to let us let him go. We must not be fooled." The leading general shouted loudly, and his words came out quickly.
It aroused the resonance of Beichen soldiers: "Yes, don't be fooled, King Yanbei will die!"
"This is our place in Beichen. I don't believe that King Yanbei has a back-up here. He must be blackmailing us. Brothers, don't be deceived by him."
…
The Beichen soldiers all shouted in disbelief and raised their spears in the air, as if they were going to fight the prince to the death.
The prince stood in the canyon and heard their conversation clearly. He couldn't help but sneered: "You don't know whether to live or die."
Yes, this is Beichen's territory, and he really can't make any arrangements, but don't forget that there is Ji Yunkai beside him who can be the king in the mountains.
As long as there are grass and trees, Ji Yunkai can control them. Ji Yunkai does not need to expend physical energy to control flowers, plants and trees to kill people, but it is not difficult to use them to hide things and bring something up the mountain...
The prince chose to take this route, naturally thinking that Beichen would warn him of the ambush.
The Beichen people know how to ambush, do you think they can't?
Beichen has soldiers and horses, and they have explosives.
The day before their departure, Ji Yunkai used the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain to bury a lot of explosives on both sides of the canyon. Now he just waited for Yan Bei's army to light the explosives.
In addition to the explosives buried in the mountain, Ji Yunkai also ordered people to make some sky lanterns. All the sky lanterns were filled with explosives. When the wind picked up, the sky lanterns would fly up the mountain. When the fuel of the sky lanterns was burned out, the sky lanterns inside would be filled with explosives.
The explosive will detonate automatically...
Xiao Jiu'an was also prepared for Beichen's ambush. It would probably be difficult for Beichen's people to kill him.
"Brothers, don't listen to King Yanbei. Hit them with me now. Kill King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei. There will be rewards for them."
"Yes!" Beichen soldiers on both sides of the canyon had high morale. After hearing the order, they immediately used small trebuchets to throw the stones they had prepared in advance towards Ji Yunkai and the prince in the canyon.
"Fire oil, kerosene is ready!" In order to take the prince's life, Beichen made full preparations. Although he only needed to kill the prince alone, he prepared tens of thousands of jins of boulders and more than 10,000 jins of kerosene.
From this we can see Beichen's determination to kill the prince.
"Kerosene? Good stuff." In Beichen, a place that is always cold, flammable substances like kerosene are very precious. Now Beichen is planning to pour kerosene down the mountain in order to kill him. It shows that the people of Beichen really hate him.
"Boom...boom..." The boulders smashed down the mountain one by one, some fell in the canyon, and some hit the other side of the canyon, smashing the rocks on the other side and falling in the middle of the canyon.
As Beichen soldiers threw more and more stones, hitting more and more rocks and mud in the middle of the canyon, Wang Ye and Ji Yunkai who were standing in the canyon were inevitably affected.
The two of them stood in the middle. As the boulders continued to fall, whether they walked forward or stood still, their lives would be in danger...
And this is what Beichen people want!
They want to take the life of King Yanbei at all costs! (To be continued)
