Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 49 Attacked
Outside the palace, the carriage convoys scattered in all directions, heading in different directions.

In the carriage, a faint incense permeates, refreshing.

Zhao Hongming, who was sitting behind the table, sat cross-legged on the carpet with his eyes closed and rested, his body swaying slightly along with the carriage.

The carriage he was riding in was located in the middle of the entire convoy, with fifty guards at the front and rear.

Chang Wubing and Wang Bao were at the side of the carriage.

Chen Xuerong, who joined later, led the way on a horse in front of the carriage.

There was no noise in the whole team, and Zhao Hongming only heard the sound of horseshoes, footsteps, and the creaking of carriages.

After leaving the palace, under the leadership of the leader, the convoy bypassed the main street of Daliang City, and left the city through another alley with relatively few people.

After a while, Zhao Hongming opened his eyes, covered the car curtain with the back of his hand, and asked outside, "Wang Bao, where are we now?"

"Your Highness, we have just left the Dongxuan Gate in Daliang, and now we are on the official path." Wang Bao's tone was very respectful, and he told the truth about the current situation.

Zhao Hongming asked: "This official road is easy to walk. Are there many mountains and forests?"

"Return to Your Highness, we are about to enter Mount Li. There are many mountains on both sides, and the scenery is very good."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongming frowned slightly.

There are many mountains and forests, which means that there are many places to ambush.

Maybe something will happen.

He knew that the reason why they moved out of the palace was because the palace formation was destroyed.

In his opinion, the palace is not safe, and the wild will not be safe anywhere.

If he were the opponent's person, he would definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

In the past few months, both the Dianqian Division and the Imperial City Division have added a lot of manpower, but Zhao Hongming feels that the defense in the palace seems to have loosened up a lot recently, and every time he listens to the corners, he can walk freely.

The inside of the palace was infiltrated like this, and it was impossible for Emperor Jian'an to not notice it at all.

It stands to reason that the palace formation was destroyed, and there would be no signs at all.

But the fact is that such a bizarre happened.

There must be another reason.

'It's such a troubled time these days. Zhao Hongming glanced at the tall city wall behind the carriage, feeling vigilant.

He sat up straight, put one hand on the handle of the knife, and concentrated his mind.

……

At the same time, on another official road in Daliang City, there was also a convoy of nearly a hundred people moving forward on the official road.

The carriage is drawn by five black horses of the same color.

This convoy is obviously the Prince's convoy.

In the carriage, the Crown Princess Gu Wei was by her side, dozing off on the soft pillow, while the Crown Prince Zhao Hongli was sitting beside him, full of preoccupations.

His complexion is not very good-looking.

Now that the palace formation has been destroyed, it is obvious that there are people in the palace cooperating with each other.

Now there are wars and disputes outside, drought and traitors inside, it seems that the state of Wei is crumbling.

Throughout the ages, when many countries were about to perish, the current emperor would be impatient to pass on the throne and leave a lot of mess to the prince.

He thought that the state of Wei hadn't reached the point of subjugation, but there was no doubt that after all these troubles, the state of Wei must have been weakened.

When it is passed to him, it will be a weakened Wei State.

It's abominable.

I don't know how long this turmoil will last, and he doesn't know when he will be back outside the palace.

In addition, I heard that Emperor Jian'an had the idea of ​​changing the prince.

Prince Zhao Hongli suddenly felt aggrieved and worried.

rumbling~
The sun in the east has not yet come out, but there are thunders in the sky, which is gloomy.

Gradually, dark clouds hung low, covering the moon.

From time to time, thunder flashed through the black clouds, as if the sky roared.

Crown Princess Gu Wei was startled by the thunder, she gently opened the curtain on the carriage and looked over.

Gusts of warm wind blew past, carrying strong moisture, and if you sniffed carefully, you could still smell an earthy smell.

"It's finally going to rain." Crown Princess Gu Wei suddenly smiled a little: "Prince, the people of Great Wei have been looking forward to the rain for a long time."

Prince Zhao Hongli's mind was in a mess right now, so he nodded in a coping manner.

Gu Wei put down the curtains and said, "Prince, when are we going back to the palace?"

"I don't know, wait for the news from the father."

"Oh."

"Call..."

The carriage came to an emergency stop, causing Zhao Hongli, who was sitting in the carriage, to fall forward under the action of inertia.

Gu Wei, who was on the side, had sharp eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly supported Zhao Hongli.

Zhao Hongli was suddenly angry, got out of the carriage, pointed at the driver and cursed: "Damn slave, how did you drive the carriage?"

Facing the prince's scolding, the coachman did not respond. He held the rein tightly with both hands, stared straight ahead, and remained motionless.

Zhao Hongli followed the coachman's gaze, and there were figures surging in the shadows directly in front of the team.

The sound of hooves, footsteps, and iron scraping came from the darkness in all directions.

Zhao Hongli was very familiar with this voice.

He had heard it in the barracks, and the sound of iron scraping against each other was the sound only made when wearing armor.

It's soldiers!
Soon, soldiers in red armor came out of the forest one by one. With spears and shields in hand, they surrounded Zhao Hongli's convoy on three sides.

Look at this dress is the army of Chu State.

Zhao Hongli couldn't believe why Chu's army appeared on the outskirts of Wei's Daliang City.

The head of the motorcade reacted quickly: "Form an formation and protect the prince."

At his order, nearly a hundred imperial guards quickly drew out the sabers on their waists, formed an array with the nearest teammates, and kept Zhao Hongli in the middle.

The warriors of the Tu family who were sent by Queen Tu Lihua also shrunk their range and guarded around the carriage: "Prince, please enter the carriage."

Prince Zhao Hongli kept silent and quickly got into the car.

"Prince, what's going on outside?"

"It's okay." Zhao Hongli's face was pale, and his heartbeat kept accelerating.

He held Gu Wei's hand tightly, trembling slightly.

Straight ahead, the soldiers of Chu State made way for a passage.

A strong man with a height of five feet slowly stepped out of it on a tall black horse.

He was wearing heavy armor, and was dragging a long-handled Modao about one foot long on the ground.

The leader of the forbidden army shouted sharply: "Who is coming? Dare to use force against the crown prince in the territory of Wei?"

The strong man tugged at the rein in his hand, causing the horse to sway uncomfortably from side to side.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Shen Xishan, the innate warrior of the Chu Kingdom, is here to take the life of the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Wei under the order of the King of Chu!"

As soon as the words fell, he waved the long knife in his hand.

After receiving the order, the soldiers at the front took a step back, revealing the crossbowmen hidden behind them.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the imperial army trembled in his heart.

It was a two stone crossbow, and all these soldiers were warriors.

The Mo Dao in Shen Xishan's hand suddenly swung down: "Kill!"

shhhhhh!
Countless arrows shot down at the heads of the princes like heavy rain.
