Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Escape Plan

Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Escape PlanIn the tent, Yang Yan sat cross-legged on the cushion, took the tea handed over by the Dali Temple Secretary, and said: "The one who attacked the official ship was a black dragon, which should be the dragon tribe of the northern monster tribe. It is quite powerful, fourth-grade, and I can't beat it in the water."

He was not a talkative person. He finished his words concisely, gave a comparison of his own strength with the opponent, and then remained silent.

Chu Xianglong's face changed drastically.

Hearing the existence of the fourth-grade dragon, the Dali Temple Secretary and others had strange expressions, some were stunned, some were afraid, and some were anxious.

Captain Chen frowned and said: "Does General Chu know the details of that dragon?"

While speaking, he squinted at Chu Xianglong.

Everyone looked over. The invisible pressure made Chu Xianglong unable to remain silent. After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Black Flood Dragon, fourth rank, if I guess correctly, it should be Tang Shanjun."

He really knew Black Flood Dragon...... Xu Qiyan's eyes flickered slightly. The enemy who ambushed at the Flowing Stone Beach was from the Northern Demon Tribe. Since the Northern Demon Tribe had been dispatched, what about the Northern Barbarians who had always been of the same blood?

In addition, the princess's trip to the northern border was kept secret. The official ship was heading north at a very fast speed. Logically, the Northern Demon Tribe could not have set up an ambush in advance.

Unless they had known that the princess was going north.

Our most beautiful woman in Dafeng was indeed not simple. It was worth the Barbarians to ambush in the enemy's hinterland with such a big fanfare... Just now, looking at Chu Xianglong's face, he seemed extremely surprised. It was obvious that he was also shocked by the Northern Demon Tribe's move... Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Qiyan's mind.

Captain Chen whispered, "Yang Jinluo, besides the black dragon, are there any other enemies?"

Yang Yan shook his head, "No."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Dali Temple Secretary felt relieved and felt much more at ease. He said, "If there is only one fourth-rank, we don't have to worry too much..."

After that, Xu Qian'an sneered and said, "The northern barbarians and the northern monsters are of the same blood. Since the monsters have taken action, can the barbarians be far behind?

"If I guess correctly, there are masters ambushing at all the major passes leading to the northern border. Believe me, unless we abandon the carriages and supplies and cross the mountains, we will be ambushed again sooner or later."

These days, there are only a few official roads, but there are countless narrow paths. However, those paths trampled by people are difficult to ride on, let alone carriages and flatbed trucks for transporting supplies.

In ancient times, bandits only needed to occupy an official road and rob caravans and pedestrians along the way to make a lot of money.

After hearing what he said, the two censors and the Dali Temple Secretary hurriedly looked at Chen, the captain of the police. They no longer believed Chu Xianglong.

Although Chen was a low-ranking official, he was an experienced warrior and one of us. His statement was the most trustworthy.

Chen nodded gently and whispered, "Mr. Xu's analysis makes sense, and it is even true. I even think that since there is a fourth-rank officer on the waterway, what about other ambush points? Will there be a fourth-rank officer, or more fourth-rank officers?

"If the northern barbarians and demons unite, it's no problem to send out a certain number of fourth-grade masters."

In the martial arts world, fourth-grade masters are well-known bigwigs and local tyrants. But in the imperial court, although there are not too many fourth-grade masters, there is definitely no shortage of them.

This is a very simple truth. If there are more fourth-grade masters in the martial arts world than in the imperial court, then the imperial court will not rule the world.

The northern barbarians and demons are equivalent to the northern united imperial court. "What should we do?"

The three civil servants were a little anxious.

As long as the enemy has two fourth-grade masters, their team will be in danger. If there are three, they will be annihilated.

The atmosphere in the tent became silent and serious.

The three civil servants and Captain Chen frowned. Although there were a hundred imperial guards outside and their own guards, they could not bring them any sense of security.

In fact, the delegation's guard force is already very sufficient, with a hundred imperial guards, dozens of guards, four silver ngs, eight bronze gongs, and a fourth-grade gold

gong.

Such a team, as long as it is not targeted by major forces, is enough to walk around Dafeng, and even go to the north and northeast to escape unscathed.

When Governor Zhang led a team to Yunzhou, it was also of this scale, and it was safe all the way.

But the current situation is that they may have encountered a joint ambush and targeting by the northern demons and barbarians, and behind them are the major forces dominating the

north.

"Why did the northern barbarians and demons want to kill the princess? How did they set up an ambush in advance?" Captain Chen stared at Chu Xianglong with sharp eyes.

"This is not something you should know." Chu Xianglong snorted coldly.

Captain Chen said angrily: "If you knew that the enemy was the northern monsters and barbarians, why didn't you send the imperial guards to escort them, but had to hide in the

delegation?"

The bad situation made him extremely angry, and he no longer cared about Chu Xianglong's identity, and his attitude was tit-for-tat.

Yes, if you are mentally prepared for an ambush, wouldn't it be safer to directly deploy the imperial guards to escort...... After all, this is the territory of Dafeng. Sending a large-scale imperial guards to escort the princess, even if the northern barbarians and monsters send out fourth-grade masters, they will only end up in regret. After all, the imperial guards will definitely carry large-scale killing magic weapons, and there are many masters in the

army......

But Emperor Yuan Jing let the princess sneak into the delegation, no one knows, and leave Beijing secretly....... Xu Qian'an flashed this horrified thought in his mind:

They are guarding against enemies within the court!

Some people in the court don't want the princess to go to the northern border to see the King of Huai...... What will happen if the princess goes to the north? There is indeed a deeper inside

story behind this.

Also, how did the demons and barbarians know about it in advance and set up an ambush?

These clues are disorganized and confusing, and it's a headache to think about them.

Xu Qiyan pinched his eyebrows and immersed himself in his own thoughts as he heard the quarrel between Chu Xianglong and the three civil officials.

"In fact, I have a simpler way, which is to lure the barbarians and demons into the trap and take the initiative to attract the masters of the barbarians and demons to extract information

from them."

The more Xu Qiyan thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. First of all, he had the Vajra Invincible that was comparable to the fourth rank, or even surpassed it. Even if he couldn't beat a fourth rank, it would be difficult for the other party to kill him. After all, warriors would not attack the Yuanshen. If it was a fourth rank of the Taoist sect, Xu Qiyan would turn around and leave without saying a word. After all, his Yuanshen level was still at the sixth rank.

Even if his Yuanshen was stronger than most sixth rank masters, he could never be the opponent of a fourth rank Taoist master.

Secondly, he has a magic book given by Confucianism. If you put it in the game, it will be a

super rare skill scroll.

Although I am at a low level, I can spend money.

In the battle between heaven and man, it was because of the effect of the Confucian magic book that he made up for the weakness of his soul and defeated Li Miaozhen and Chu

Yuanzhen.

Finally, there is a monk Shenshu in his body, which is his greatest confidence.

However, the existence of the monk Shenshu cannot be exposed. Even if he is summoned, he must be summoned without teammates, otherwise he will have to kill people to silence them... If it was just to save the princess, I wouldn't have to work so hard... Xu Qian'an stroked

his chin with his index finger and thumb.

Saving the princess is just a side job. His purpose is to get information.

"The north is the territory of the King of Zhenbei. Go directly there and dive into his

surveillance range. All actions are under the other party's eyes.

"In this case, I either don't investigate the case or fight the King of Zhenbei to death."

For a logical and meticulous reasoning expert, it is impossible to put himself in such a passive

situation.

It is necessary to obtain more clues and intelligence before arriving in the north, so that a plan

can be made and an investigation can be launched.

At this time, the quarrel ended. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chu Xianglong spread a map on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Has Yang Jinluo been

followed along the way?"

Yang Yan shook his head.

As a top-level fourth-rank warrior, there are not many people who can follow him, and the intuition of a warrior is not a decoration.

Chu Xianglong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Very good, then we still have a chance. In this situation, we must not go back. We should arrive at Jiangzhou City as soon as possible, ask for help from the Jiangzhou Governor and the Jiangzhou Commander, and ask them to

mobilize the troops of the guards for defense."

Everyone nodded slowly.

Jiangzhou City is the main city of a province, with no shortage of soldiers and experts. Once

you enter Jiangzhou City, you will be safe. If the fourth-rank barbarians and monsters dare to kill into the city, they are doomed to never return.

"As long as we can successfully reach the main city of Jiangzhou, we can ask the court for help,

or directly deploy the Jiangzhou army to escort the princess to the north." Chu Xianglong said. "That makes sense." The Dali Temple Secretary nodded slowly.

"So next, we have to plan the marching route." Chu Xianglong pointed to the map and said:

"The shortest way to Jiangzhou is the official road we are taking now, which can be reached in two days. But this road is also the most dangerous. So we have to take a detour." Captain Chen shook his head and retorted: "It is also dangerous to take a detour. We have too many people, and there are Zizhong and women, so we can't walk fast at all. And the other party is a master who travels light, and sooner or later they will be locked and caught up." Chu Xianglong smiled and said: "So, we have to abandon the carriage, horses, and some Zizhong. We also travel light, and we can't take the official road and fight guerrilla warfare

with them."

It must be said that this is a very smart decision.

Although the other party is a master, it is impossible to sneak into the enemy's belly to ambush, and it is impossible to bring an army. This will lead to a shortage of manpower and

the inability to carry out large-scale searches.

At this time, Chu Xianglong truly showed the qualities of an experienced general.

In marching and fighting, this kind of escape is not uncommon.

Everyone looked at Xu Qian'an.

He is still quite capable. He cannot be a mediocre person if he can be the deputy general of

Zhenbei King. Xu Qian'an also thinks that such an arrangement is the best choice at present.

"I have no problem." He said lightly.

Chu Xianglong smiled complacently, looking at Chief Officer Xu with provocation and contempt in his eyes, as if telling him:

The boy who has not grown up yet is still too young, learn something. Immediately, all the officials walked out of the tent, gathered the troops, issued orders, and

prepared to march overnight.

Chu Xianglong woke up a group of maids, and then stopped beside the carriage where the princess was, bowed and said: "Princess, something happened."

A few seconds later, a woman's calm voice came from the carriage: "What's the matter?"

Chu Xianglong whispered: "The ship was ambushed on the waterway and has sunk. We are still not out of danger. The enemy is likely to chase us."

The maids who rubbed their eyes and left the carriage exclaimed when they heard this.

The old lady who was among the maids shrank her head in fear, with panic flashing in her

eyes.

Chu Xianglong continued: "I have decided to take the mountain road to avoid being hunted down. Please prepare quickly and leave overnight."

The old lady hurried back to the carriage to pack her luggage and dry food. She was so eager to

survive.

The maids then reacted and started to get busy.

The envoys abandoned some of the heavy items and carried dry food and water. They left the

official road, walked through the ridges, plains, and over the mountains, and began their arduous journey.

Yang Yan led the team to the front, and Xu Qi'an led the imperial guards to the rear.

At dawn, the team took a short rest at the foot of the mountain to replenish food and restore

their strength.

Xu Qi'an ate the tasteless sesame cake and drank a sip of water. He was glad that he didn't bring the mare with him, otherwise this beloved mount would be lost.

Soft footsteps approached, and looking back, it was the old lady with a tired face.

She stood not far away, a little hesitant. When she saw Xu Qi'an looking over, she gritted her

teeth, strode over, sat down beside Xu Qi'an, and whispered:

"Can we get to the northern border smoothly?"

Xu Qi'an replied: "You are a maid in the palace. You should ask Chu Xianglong about this

question."

I don't trust him... She held the kettle, looked at the crowd with some worry, and whispered:

"I'm a little scared."

She was very scared, so she subconsciously came to Xu Qi'an. Maybe in her heart, in this delegation, the one who really made her feel safe was not Jinluo Yang Yan, nor Chu Xianglong who swore allegiance to the King of Zhenbei.

But the young night watchman who kept teasing her along the way; the silver gong who made

a name for himself in the fight; the man who conquered heaven and man with his hands on the

Wei River.

"Are you afraid of death?" Xu Qi'an asked without any expression.

She nodded and shook her head.

"There is nothing wrong with Chu Xianglong's plan. With luck, we can reach Jiangzhou safely.

We will be safe in Jiangzhou. Besides, you are a little maid, what is there to be afraid of? If you

see the situation is not good, just run away. Will a fourth-rank master still miss you?"

Xu Qiyan laughed at her cowardice.

"I'm afraid I can't reach Jiangzhou." She sighed.

After staying up all night to travel for more than two hours, her legs were weak and she

couldn't walk.

"I carry you?" Xu Qiyan suggested.

She shook her head.

"If, if the pursuers intercept us, you..." She changed her words and said: "Will the night

watchmen protect the princess?"

When she asked this question, her eyes flickered with hope, like stars.

As if as long as Xu Qiyan gave a positive answer, she would feel at ease.

"Of course not," Xu Qian'an refused:

"We are investigating the case, not protecting the princess. The life and death of the princess

has nothing to do with us. If the enemy is too strong, we can escape by ourselves. Anyway,

their target is the princess."

So... the light in her eyes dimmed a little bit, she stood up silently, returned to her position,

and hugged her knees.

She was in the crowd, but she was out of tune with the people around her, looking lonely and

pitiful.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xianglong stood up and said loudly: "Keep going." The well-trained imperial guards and guards stood up silently, put on their bags, picked up

their weapons, and were ready to go.

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Qian'an's hair suddenly stood up, and the next moment, a picture

naturally emerged in his mind. In the mountains and forests above his head, a huge rock fell

down.

Almost at the same time, Yang Yan in front of him suddenly raised his head, staring at the mountain behind him with burning eyes.

Huh...

A huge rock two feet high was thrown down from the mountain and thrown towards the core

of the team.

The other warriors in the delegation were a beat slower, and they didn't feel anything until the rock was thrown. The ordinary soldiers and maids hadn't reacted yet.
