Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 264 Distress
Horseshoes galloped in the peach forest, and countless peach blossoms fell one after another.Ji Hao slapped the horse's back heavily, and led the guards to gallop up the river, and a dense forest appeared in front of him not long after.

Ji Hao pulled the rein, and the horse neighed and stopped.He looked at Zhao Wuming and then asked: "I'm hunting in the forest here, I don't know what the fourth son of King Zhao Cheng wants."

"The dense forest here is a wonderful place, but I don't know how the prince plans to compete."Zhao Wuming looked at the dense forest ahead, and saw the forest extending along the river.Occasionally, a few unknown birds were flying in the sky, and I couldn't help but secretly startled.Although hunting here is good, it is a bit too remote.But thinking of Sun Buer and more than a hundred personal guards behind him, I felt a little more at ease.

Ji Hao looked at Zhao Wuming with a smile on his lips: "There are fierce tigers in and out of the dense forest. Why don't you and I compete with each other and go hunting with our guards, and judge the winner by the number of prey? Is it okay?".

"Tiger haunted?".Zhao Wuming couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Ji Hao puzzled.

Ji Hao nodded: "For the sake of safety, it is safest for you and me to go hunting with our guards. We will meet up in Taolin at noon and count the prey."

"Just as the prince said."Zhao Wuming looked towards the dense forest, seeing that he could only agree now that he was already here.

Overjoyed, Ji Hao looked at Peng Qing who was behind him, gave him a secret look, and then galloped away into the dense forest with a hundred guards on his horse.

Zhao Wuming looked at Ji Haoyi's back as he walked away, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Sun Buer looked at the dense forest in front of him: "The dense forest here is an excellent place to ambush. If Ji Hao has malicious intentions, the only way to survive is to jump into the river. Therefore, the subordinate suggested that it is better to return to Jicheng directly. Be safe."

"Return? You can watch later."Zhao Wuming looked behind him, and saw that the peach trees were densely covered with no end in sight.

Sun Bu'er looked at the peach tree behind him and couldn't help being stunned: "Is there an ambush in the peach forest?".

"Whether there is an ambush in the peach forest, I don't know. But I know that if there is an ambush in the peach forest once I return, I am afraid that even jumping into the river to escape is a luxury."Zhao Wuming explained to Sun Buer.

Sun Buer looked at the Taolin behind him, and couldn't help being silent for a while.After a long while, he suggested to Zhao Wuming: "The only plan for now is to catch up with Ji Hao, no matter whether there is an ambush or not, we can get through it safely."

"When Gu Qianqian came, he had already reminded Shen Chuan that he and Qingque were probably dispatching people to rush here at this time."Zhao Wuming explained to Sun Buer.

Sun Buer breathed a sigh of relief: "So the lord has been prepared for this matter."

"Gu is just guarding against Ji Hao."Zhao Wuming looked at the dense forest ahead, and continued to explain to Zhao Wuming.

Sun Buer couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Since my lord is guarding against Ji Hao, why do you still come here to hunt?"

"It's always bad to guard against thieves for a thousand days, it's better to let him show his feet."Thinking of the several ambushes in Handan and Xindu, Zhao Wuming was already on guard against such safari, so how could he not be more careful.

Seeing that Sun Buer was silent, Zhao Wuming immediately told the guards behind him: "Go slowly to avoid ambushes or beasts."

"promise".Hundreds of personal guards bowed to take orders, patted the horses gently and walked slowly.

A bush shook a few times, Zhao Wuming was startled, and then a dozen long figures appeared on the ground.

Looking up, Zhao Wuming couldn't help being taken aback when he saw a dozen men in black standing on the trees in front of him.

At this dazed moment, several sharp arrows shot out from the bushes, flying towards Zhao Wuming's throat.

Seeing this, Sun Bu'er turned pale with fright, and slapped the horse hard, and the horse jumped up and lay across in front of Zhao Wuming.

The arrow neighed from the horse, and Sun Buer was thrown to the ground heavily.

The accident awakened more than a hundred guards, and the guards pulled out their swords and rushed forward one after another.

A number of men in black came out from behind the trees, and then the sound of swords and soldiers sounded.

At this time, all the men in black standing on the tree rushed towards Zhao Wuming, Zhao Wuming hurriedly slapped his horse to avoid it.A bronze sword slashed the horse's back fiercely, and the horse galloped along the river in pain.

Seeing this, Sun Bu'er ignored the man in black who was rushing forward, hurried to a horse in front, and ran in the direction where Zhao Wuming left with two personal guards.

Seeing this, more than a dozen men in black quickly grabbed their horses and chased after them.

The horse gallops forward Zhao Wuming grabs the horse desperately, trying to calm the horse down, but unfortunately it doesn't help.

At this moment, two men in black rushed out again from the left side. The men in black hurriedly bent their bows and set up arrows, and the arrows flew towards the horses.

The horse hit the arrow, and the speed increased a little.

Zhao Wuming wanted to jump off the horse, but the horse was too fast and had to give up.At this time, the war horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.A burst of arrows flew from nowhere, hitting Zhao Wuming's shoulder and the horse.

Zhao Wuming's eyes went dark, he felt like he fell into the water, and then passed out.

The dense sound of horseshoes came, and Shen Chuan ran all the way with a hundred dead soldiers, just in time to see the scene where Zhao Wuming was hit by an arrow and fell into the river.Hastily patted the horse, ready to save people.

The river was rushing down, and he was about to get off his horse and go to rescue him, but he saw that Zhao Wuming had already drifted downstream.

Before he had time to think about it, Shen Chuan slapped the horse's back heavily and followed him all the way.But he didn't want to be caught by the galloping Qingque, so Shen Chuan couldn't help being taken aback.

Qingque pointed to the front, Shen Chuan seemed to have thought of something, then nodded and did not follow, but turned his horse's head and killed in the direction where the men in black were.

Sun Buer had already been entangled by the man in black, thinking of Zhao Wuming's safety, he felt anxious, at this time a rain of arrows shot from the front.The men in black fell to the ground one after another, and Sun Buer immediately looked at the place where the arrow rain came.

Seeing that it was Shen Chuan and Qing Que, they couldn't help frowning slightly: "Where is the lord? I asked you to go to rescue the lord, why there is no trace of the lord."

"Your Majesty was hit by an arrow and fell into the water, so there is no danger of his life, so we return to save you."Shen Chuan replied to Sun Buer.

Sun Bu'er couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and an angry look appeared on his face in an instant: "Since the lord has fallen into the water, why don't you go to rescue him?".

"Qingque, is this how you repay the lord?"Sun Buer strode up to Shen Chuan and Qingque, and asked them questions.

Shen Chuan and Qing Que got off their horses: "Do you know where this river leads to?"

"Peach Grove".Sun Buer replied without hesitation, and walked towards Qingque's war horse at the same time, and immediately turned on the horse, fearing that the horse's back would be hit.

Qing Que immediately dissuaded her in a hurry: "You must not go to Taolin at this time."

"Why?"The war horse neighed and was about to run wildly, but Sun Buer pulled the reins.

Shen Chuan walked towards Sun Buer, and explained to him: "When we came, we saw the daughter of the Yun family was rushing to Taolin. If you go, it will not ruin the king's marriage."

"What I'm waiting to do at this point is to strangle these men in black and collect evidence to attack King Yan."Qingque took Shen Chuan's words and explained to Sun Buer.

Sun Buer thought for a while and nodded slightly, then got off his horse.

Shen Chuan looked at the hundreds of dead men: "Catch and kill those men in black who attacked the king."

"promise".Hundreds of dead soldiers suddenly agreed, and they slapped their horses hard and scattered.
