Chapter 1130 Meng Ruowang's Anxiety

On the way to Fuzhou, Meng Ruowang rode on a tall horse with a sad heart.

He was originally a civil servant, and although he could ride a horse, he spent relatively little time on it.

Most of the time, he rode in a carriage or sedan chair.

But in order to get to Fuzhou as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to ride on horseback with the 500 escort personnel.

Meng Ruowang was very nervous.

He knew what he had done.

Once Yun Zheng knew what he had done, he would have no chance of survival.

If the imperial court knew what he had done, he and his entire family would surely be executed.

His only hope now was that Yun Zheng didn't know what he had done.

As long as Yun Zheng doesn't know what he has done, given his identity, under normal circumstances, Yun Zheng should not take his life!

But even so, he was still extremely nervous.

He did something wrong, so he is afraid of ghosts knocking on his door!

Thinking about his family, Meng Ruowang suddenly felt a little regretful.

As the Imperial Censor, he was familiar with the history of all dynasties.

Throughout history, countless people have died in the fight for succession.

Not to mention the distant past, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, Emperor Wen and his brothers fought tooth and nail for the position of crown prince, and many ministers in the court were also involved.

When the final reckoning came, five dukes and marquises alone had died!

There are countless other officials.

Unfortunately, even though he was familiar with history, he still joined the battle for the throne without hesitation.

In fact, when Yun Li began to supervise the country, he already regretted it a little.

As Yun Li's position as Crown Prince became more and more secure, he became more and more regretful.

But he had already been involved, and there was no way to extricate himself.

Once you embark on this road, there is only one way to go, all the way to the end.

Either you will be promoted after success, or you will be shattered to pieces after failure!

"Ugh……"

Meng Ruowang sighed silently in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

Before they knew it, they were about to enter Juzhou.

Not far ahead of them was a lush forest.

The cavalry captain in charge of escorting Meng Ruowang called a soldier and ordered, "Give orders, everyone, be alert! Protect Lord Meng!"

Before they set out, Yun Li specifically told them that Yun Zheng might send someone to assassinate Meng Ruowang, so they must be careful.

Along the way, they were extremely careful wherever they came across steep terrain or high mountains and dense forests.

The soldiers took the order and immediately passed on the cavalry captain's instructions.

On the outskirts of the dense forest, two masked men were secretly observing Meng Ruowang and his group's every move.

The two people were none other than Ying Er and White Crow's leader Lu Jian.

Not far behind them, there were nearly two hundred people lurking.

They will take action as soon as Lu Jian gives the order.

However, when they saw that the five hundred elite cavalrymen were protecting Meng Ruowang firmly in the middle, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, with disappointment in their eyes.

"Do you want to take action?"

Ying Er lowered his voice and asked Lu Jian in a low voice.

Lu Jian shook his head slightly: "The government troops are too vigilant, we can't act rashly!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Ying Er disagreed, "These government troops are nothing but good-for-nothings! With our people's skills, even if they protect themselves well, we can still kill Meng Ruowang!"

"Are you absolutely sure?"

Lu Jian glared at Ying Er with a cold look, "Remember, this matter can only succeed, not fail! If we fail, the court will definitely mobilize the army to escort Meng Ruowang. By then, we will have no chance at all!"

Although these two hundred people are all very skilled, they are the core strength of the Black Crow and the White Crow.

But they are not like these government troops, all of whom wear armor.

If we act rashly, if the government troops escort Meng Ruowang away, it will be a big trouble.

There was one more thing he didn't tell Ying Er.

The "old man" repeatedly instructed that Meng Ruowang must be killed as soon as possible and not to give Meng Ruowang any chance to speak.

Otherwise, Meng Ruowang would guess that they were the ones who were assassinating and expose the people behind them. Even if just one of these government troops escaped, the people behind them would not be able to hide!

But under the tight protection of the government troops, it was almost impossible for them to kill Meng Ruowang as soon as possible without even giving him a chance to speak!

Facing Lu Jian's reprimand, Ying Er was somewhat unwilling, "But they are cavalry. If we don't take action now, we may not even be able to catch up with them later!"

"Not urgent!"

Lu Jian shook his head slightly, "In another half an hour, it will be dark! In this area of ​​dozens of miles, there is only one decent town called Taiping. They will definitely stop by Taiping tonight! After they pass by, we can take a shortcut to Taiping and start the action tonight!"

As he spoke, Lu Jian made a gesture to everyone, indicating that the action was canceled and that they should not act rashly.

After receiving Lu Jian's order, everyone lay down one after another.

Ying Er lay down next to Lu Jian.

For a moment, Ying Er wanted to draw his sword and fight Lu Jian directly.

As long as they alarmed the escorting government troops and attracted their attention, they would have almost no hope of assassinating Meng Ruowang.

However, after thinking for a while, he finally gave up the idea.

He now didn't know whether they should continue to lurk in Black Crow.

They could not rashly reveal their identities before receiving Yun Zheng's order.

Soon, the team of elite cavalry escorted Meng Ruowang and ran past them not far away.

Unfortunately, they could even clearly feel the vibrations coming from the ground.

Everyone held their breath and dared not make any sound, for fear of alerting the government troops.

Only after the government troops had completely disappeared did Lu Jian slowly get up from the ground.

"withdraw!"

Lu Jian didn't waste any time. He called everyone and quickly retreated to the east side of the dense forest.

He remembered that there was a small path to the east. If he went straight along the path and then crossed a mountain, he would reach Taiping Town.

They might arrive at Taiping Town later than the government troops, but not too late.

They had plenty of time to assassinate Meng Ruowang.

Everyone retreated in an orderly manner, some people were responsible for keeping watch, and some were responsible for exploring the way.

Just as they were retreating in an orderly manner, there was a sudden movement in front of them.

The pathfinder immediately noticed something was wrong and was about to warn the people behind him when a masked man suddenly jumped down from a big tree in front of them and blocked their way.

"who?"

The pathfinder suddenly let out a loud shout.

Lu Jian at the back drew his sword like lightning, quickly flashed to the front, and looked coldly at this person who, like them, was unwilling to reveal his true face.

Although he couldn't see the man's true face, he felt a strong sense of threat from him.

His experience told him that this person must be very skilled and was definitely a murderer.

You Jiu glanced at the group of people with cold eyes and spoke slowly.

"Under the command of King Jingbei, the Eighteen Ghost Riders!"
