Chapter 248 - Ambush (1)
Huyan's face was extremely ugly. Cang Shengxue, he saw that the snow had been dyed blood-red. If not for Mu Wanjun pulling him back at that critical moment, he would have been dead by now.
The horse stopped struggling after a while. It was already dead. He reached out and pulled down an arrow. Looking at the arrow, his eyes turned cold and his heart sank.
The trident iron arrow forged from cold iron!
This was clearly a type of iron ore unique to the Northern Kingdom. This meant that the people behind the ambush were people from the Northern Kingdom!
Huyan panted as he looked off into the distance.
In the blizzard, there was an even bigger team heading towards them. On top of the numerous sled dogs, everyone had nocked their bows and shot arrows, secretly watching from behind. They were waiting for an opportunity to take their lives!
It was snowing heavily in the north, and there weren't many cavalrymen in the team. Most of the infantry soldiers were riding sled dogs, and there were about a thousand men in this group.
The thousand men had followed them only to take their lives. However, who sent this team?
Clearly, this team had been following them for a long time. They had to kill them when they found the right time to do so!
Seeing that he still wanted to stick his head out, Mu Wanjun suddenly pulled him back.
"Do you want to die?"
As he spoke, the sound of arrows raining down covered everything that Huyan had said. Mu Wanjun only saw him opening and closing his mouth through the belt.
The first round of rain of arrows gradually stopped.
The first round had been temporarily suspended for the second round of arrow rain.
Furthermore, those people were also getting closer and closer to this place. If this were to continue, even if they were not shot to death, it was obvious that they were here with killing intent. They would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Mu Wanjun said to Huyan: "Are these people targeting you or me?"
They were all people of the Northern Kingdom, was there a need to kill them?
Huyan shook his head, it should be you, or maybe they just misunderstood that there were other people.
Mu Wanjun knew that she could not sit still and wait for death to come. Seeing those people walking towards her, her eyes slightly narrowed, and in an instant, something appeared in her hand.
A sharp dagger! She suddenly flipped over and jumped in front of Huyan. The dagger was aimed at the big artery on his neck, this was yet another surprise for Huyan.
Mu Wanjun glanced at Huyan, and only asked one question: "Your relationship with Zuo Ying?"
Huyan was very surprised, but he did not panic at all.
"If Miss sincerely wants to help His Highness, I don't mind dying. Miss brought this to the Northern Kingdom, so naturally, someone will come to help." As Huyan spoke, he took out a wooden whistle.
Mu Wanjun had come to the Northern Kingdom before and knew that this whistle was used to train falcons.
Huyan was the falcon that told her to take away the sky.
Mu Wanjun looked at him without blinking. She was confirming the relationship between Huyan and Zuo Ying, at the same time she was also calculating the consequences if she was involved.
Mu Wanjun fiercely stomped her foot, retracting her dagger, and looked at the front. Not far away to the left was a cliff.
There was a cliff in front, followed by pursuers. The situation didn't take advantage of her at all. But if they continued to sit there and wait for death, the result would only be death.
Time passed in but a few seconds. The other side had just nocked a new arrow to their bow, and a new rain of arrows was waiting to rain down.
Right at this critical moment, Mu Wanjun took a deep breath. An explosive was already in her hands, she shouted to the few remaining guards, "Let's go!"
At the same time, she threw the bomb out.
There was only the sound of a loud explosion.
The direction that Mu Wanjun had thrown was not towards a place that was only a crowd, it was not too far away from where they were standing.
She had seen the surroundings since a long time ago.
There was a tiny crack in the ground, and there were too many pursuers. There was no way she could use a bomb to finish everyone off, so all she wanted was a chance to escape.
This sound caused the area they were in to collapse.
In that instant, the entire ground trembled before falling to the ground with a loud crash.
Before Huyan had time to prepare, he discovered that the place where he stood had collapsed and fallen.
Before Mu Wanjun fell, she quickly threw a few bombs at the sled dogs. The noise frightened all the animals. With the sudden chaos of these animals, those human arrows could no longer be shot out, and they all took control of the situation. But they could only watch as Mu Wanjun's group fell.
