"Boss, it's the carriage ahead. Inside the carriage is a girl who is prettier than a princess, as well as a large amount of silver notes and food. If I didn't want to show you respect, I would have done it long ago. "

A thin man with a dirty expression looked at the carriage in the distance. If it wasn't for the fact that the soldiers accompanying him were strong, he wouldn't have told this boss and would have already snatched the girl away.

It was a pity that they had suffered heavy losses both times. The other groups of unlucky raiders only managed to add a few more corpses to the main road to be used as fertilizer for the next year. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to give this fat sheep to this boss.

He stood in front of this person with his sturdy body, reaching only to his chest. The lines on his slightly aged face were like they had been carved in a knife. A shocking wound extended from his left ear all the way to his neck.

He had thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, but his indifferent face was expressionless. Not only did the scar not destroy his manliness, it also added a bit of bravery and charm.

Carrying a saber on his back, the red silk fluttered in the wind. His entire body was covered by black clothes, which were tightly wrapped around his body, forming an outline of his muscular body. He stared at the carriage and the soldiers who were escorting it. From these people, he could tell that they were definitely not wandering soldiers, and even more so, were not ordinary soldiers.

There were a few people among them. Although they looked a little lazy on the surface, their horses were swaying as if they had fallen asleep. However, there was a faint killing intent emitting from it, making him feel apprehensive.

The soldiers were dressed in military uniforms and did not carry any banner. It seemed like they were only here to escort their families.

Along the way were a few other carriages, but they were filled with junk, which was completely different from the carriage in the middle. He didn't see the woman on the carriage. His gaze swept over the group of soldiers as he calculated the profits and losses.

"Who's in the carriage?"

"I don't know. It's a pretty girl. It's said that her medical skills are superb." Last time, there was a brat who had his stomach sliced open by a knife, causing his intestines to flow out, yet that girl saved him. Everyone says that this girl is a genius doctor that descended to the mortal realm. If Boss gets this girl, then in the future, when our brothers are injured, you don't have to worry. "

"Oh, doctor? It's rare to see a woman as a physician, but why is she wandering around in such a chaotic place? "

"Boss, I heard that this woman is rumored to be that Southern Champion, that Godly Doctor Ji. The execution platform did not burn her to death at all. She had used a spell to escape, and did not know why she came to this place. "

The boss began to ponder. Of course, he had heard of Ji Witch, Ji Tian Ning. Legend has it that some witches have been burned to death on the scaffold, while others have said that witches have used magic to escape without knowing what happened.

"Perhaps he's just a somewhat skilled physician, so how could he be that Fairy Doctor? Even if she didn't die, why would she have come to this chaotic battlefield?"

However, he heard that the woman in the carriage was very rich and had given him food and medicine several times. He didn't want to do anything to such a kind-hearted girl. It was just that his wife was having a difficult time giving birth right now. He couldn't wait any longer, so he had no choice but to come up with this plan. Moreover, he had also taken a fancy to this group of people as well as the food and valuables on the carriage.

Food was now as precious as pearls in the plain. If he could obtain those carts of food and possessions, he could let his brothers live through the winter. How could he not be worried when the weather was getting colder and colder and many of his brothers were still dressed in their own clothes?

There were more than a hundred soldiers there, but from their equipment and horses, he could tell they were elite soldiers.

What he liked the most were their horses, carefully chosen warhorses.

He turned around and saw that he had over five hundred brothers with him, five hundred against one hundred. This was the first time he was so hesitant. In this generation, he was also a famous bandit, originally a good citizen, and even an ancestor of Fengyuan. However, after encountering chaotic times, his family underwent a change. He then entered the mountain to pull up the pole and become the king of the mountain.

There were about a thousand people in the mountain. These five hundred people were elites. They were his brothers who had followed him out to fight in the autumn wind, and the rest were old, weak, women, and children.

When the carriage stopped, Tang Mubai asked in a low voice, "Have the people who went out to scout the place returned yet?"

"Reporting to the commander, he hasn't come back yet. Someone has been sent out to investigate."

"Something's not right. The scouts should be reporting back. Since they haven't returned yet, there must be a problem ahead." Send a few of them at the same time. If anyone finds anything amiss, set them on fire immediately. "

"Yes."

"Yes," someone said, and the horses galloped forward.

Yan Feng used his toes to kick the scout who was tied up, and said lightly: "They seem to have realized that something is wrong and will probably not fall for it. It's a pity that this person is too stubborn, refusing to say anything. They only said that they were the troops that had swept the northern duke away. The Prince Consort's attack is now so bountiful, how could he send people to this place? "

The people of Fengyuan still referred to Shang Qiuyuan as "Prince Consort", unwilling to acknowledge his position as the Great General of the Luo Bei. Most people did not hate him because of Shang Qiuyuan's surrender to the Southern Champion Kingdom.

"Attack!"

Yan Feng knew that he could no longer hide his tracks. Once the opponent entered the encirclement, he would have no choice but to attack. It was a good thing that they had five times as many people now. They didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to take down that group of people.

"There's a sneak attack, get ready."

He slowly opened the window of the carriage and looked outside. He saw that the carriage slowed down and slowly moved forward. The guards on his left and right were ready to fire arrows at him.

He didn't move, only looking out the window. If it was a small group of thieves, he wouldn't even need to act. The guards outside were all elites sent by Wang Shouchuan and Monk Qiuyuan. They could be dealt with in an instant. He didn't want to wake up the sleeping Ji Tian Ning.

The sound of rapid horse hooves rang out. Li Hantian's expression changed. After staying in the army camp for a long time, he had learned how to distinguish the number of enemies from the sound of horse hooves. There were around three hundred people here, which was two times more than what they had.

Along the way, they would occasionally encounter hundreds of little thieves. As long as a few were taken down, they would scatter, not needing to pay too much attention to them. Later on, the little thieves along the way also knew that these people were not to be trifled with and did not dare to come and disturb them.

It had only been a few days since the peace. Unexpectedly, a large number of bandits had come and gently carried Ji Tian Ning, placing her on the bed of the carriage. His movements were light, afraid of waking Ji Tian Ning up.

Ji Tian Ning's eyelids twitched slightly. She had already woken up, but she could feel Hateful Sky's tenderness. She pretended not to have woken up and laid Hateful Sky on the thick blanket with her eyes closed.

Li Hantian climbed out of the carriage and jumped on his horse. He also took out his bow and his weapon.

"Stop, get ready!"

The group stopped, their backs facing the dense stony forest. They dismounted from their horses and brought their horses into the stony forest to hide. Raising his shield, someone slowly pulled the carriage into the rubble and spread it out, ready to fight.

The scouts who had gone out to scout had returned with a message. Over three hundred people had rushed over from the front. It was unclear if there were any ambushes. In order to be safe, he ignited a firework to send a message and at the same time, prepared for battle.

The surroundings weren't too far away, and there were soldiers and horses of the Southern Champion Tribe. When they received the news, they would quickly dispatch troops to assist them. Even if there were more enemies, as long as they held out for a while, they would be able to obtain assistance.

Tang Mubai sent people to report that reinforcements had arrived. If Ji Tian Ning hadn't been here, they could have charged out of the encirclement. However, he did not dare to take the risk. Ji Tian Ning was, after all, an unnamed princess, the adopted daughter of the King.

Prince Shoulder had also instructed them that Ji Tian Ning's safety was the main concern.

His duty was to escort Ji Tian Ning to a safe place before returning. At the very least, they had to send him away to complete his mission.

"I really don't know why the Prince regards this girl so highly and even accepts her as his adopted daughter." Could it be that Prince is addicted to having children? "She first took in Shang Qiu as her son, and now she's taken in Ji as her daughter."

He shook his head helplessly. He did not dare to send a small group of people to send Ji Tian Ning away. If the other party had set up an ambush, they would fall into a trap of luring the tiger out of the mountain. The other party clearly knew that they were difficult to bite, yet they still dared to come forward. They must have already been prepared.

The hundreds of horses circled in a circle but didn't come close. They only shot out a row of arrows. However, Tang Mubai and the others had set up their shields and hidden themselves behind the stones in the forest, completely unharmed.

Tang Michen didn't give the order to fire the arrows, but the other side released a row of arrows and quickly retreated. The order between advance and retreat was different from the rest of the bandits as it was more like an official army with its own rules and regulations.

"Who are you? Do you dare to stop us? Do you know that robbing an army is a capital offense? "

Yan Feng moved his horse forward and said indifferently, "Put down the treasures and the lady in the carriage and then let you leave. There won't be any harm. "If you don't, don't blame me for being heartless."

Tang Mu Chen's heart sank. He had heard of Yan Feng's name before. He had heard that this person was originally an official of Fengyuan. However, his family had undergone a great change before he became a bandit. Most of his men were soldiers who had followed him and his father, and they ruled the mountain with him.

"We are the subordinates of General Shang. We are here to see his family off. We hope you can let us through."

Tang Mubai knew that Shang Qiuyuan was quite popular in Fengyuan, so he used the name Shang Qiuyuan instead of the King of Shoulders.

"Prince Consort Ma is now far from here, and his family is no longer in this world. You lied and deceived them, so you shouldn't come up with a good reason."

"General Yan, I have heard of your name and it is not a lie. The woman in the carriage was General Shang's adopted sister. She had been ordered by the marshal to send her out of Fengyuan. "

A person stood up and said, "That's right, how have you been, General Yan, do you recognize this family?"

Yan Feng looked at that man and felt that he was familiar. His eyes lit up, "Could it be General Jin? How did it change so much? "

The armor on his body was loose and flabby like a skeleton. A smile appeared on the face of the golden armor, but it was even more frightening. No one dared to look at it directly.

This time, the Golden Armor requested for another order. He wanted to personally send Ji Tian Ning to Fengyuan to compensate her for her previous negligence. Thus, Shang Qiuyuan sent him to escort her.

"I didn't expect that General Yan would still recognize me. I have managed to escape from death, but my body has changed so much. Most of the old people don't recognize me anymore." "It is to be congratulated that General Yan is as elegant as ever."

Yan Feng hastily dismounted and took a few steps forward. He knelt on one knee on the ground and said, "I dare not, Yan Feng greets the general. Please forgive me." I do not know if it is a general who has arrived, but I beg of you. "

Golden Armor walked out from behind the rubble. "General Yan, no need to be so courteous. Please rise."

He extended his hand to help Yan Feng up. Yan Feng respectfully bowed and said, "May I ask if Lord Prince Consort is well?"

"Marshal is doing well. Chen Jun is currently surrounding the city." General Yan, are you still free in the mountains? "

"I am ashamed, but if this one knows that you are indeed the team of Prince Consort Ma, I would definitely send you off from afar. How would I dare to act rashly?" This action has truly unsettled my heart. I would like to ask the General to apologize in front of Lord Prince Consort. "

Golden Armor waved his hand. "Those who don't know are innocent. Don't you know that we're the marshal's men? How could the marshal blame you?" However, the marshal had intended to invite General Yan to be his subordinate, but General Yan had refused. Had he not changed his mind today? In this chaotic world, with just your little army, it's not enough to cover the gap between the teeth of the king and the king. "It is only because the prince did not have the time to take care of you that you are safe until now."

Yan Feng's face turned red. If it wasn't for the fact that the King was shoulder to shoulder and was busy attacking the city, Qiuyuan would have surrounded Qiuyuan and turned it into a lonely city. How could he have survived until now?
