Chapter 1293 Someone is ambushing

In the territory of Nanping Kingdom, a convoy is driving quickly. This convoy is very large, and there are many guards in the convoy. They ride horses and carry knives to protect the surroundings of the convoy. They are watching with vigilance as they drive. of the surrounding environment.

This convoy was the imperial envoy team returning to Fengyu City from Shanling Pass. After they came out of Shanling Pass, they rushed to Fengyu City. They were traveling very fast, not at all as leisurely as when they came.

At this time, the curtain of a carriage in the middle of the team was lifted, Zhao Xingnian's head poked out, and said to a knight riding a horse next to the carriage: "Let the team move faster."

"Master, the team is already moving very fast. If it goes any faster, the horses may not be able to bear it," the cavalryman replied.

"Don't worry about the horse. Even if the horse is exhausted from running, you still have to rush back to Fengyu City in the shortest time." Zhao Xingnian said.

"Yes, sir!"

The cavalryman responded, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and ran towards the front of the team, shouting as he ran.

"Your Majesty has your order, the convoy will speed up! Your Majesty has your order, the convoy will speed up!"

Soon, the speed of the entire convoy increased a lot again. Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei, who were sitting in the carriage, were constantly shaking due to the bumps of the carriage.

"The speed of the team is already very fast. In the past few days, we have walked nearly half of the distance and have not slept well. If we speed up, you are not afraid that the bones of us two old bones will be shaken apart. In the carriage, Qin Wei said to Zhao Xingnian while trying to stabilize his body.

"Even if our bones are broken, we still have to hold on to the capital." Zhao Xingnian said with a slightly pale face.

Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were both very young. In the past few days, they were in a hurry and did not have a good rest. They set off before dawn every day. They went very fast along the way. They even had breakfast and lunch on the carriage. Eating dry food and this kind of high-intensity traveling are still quite stressful for the two elderly people. Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian have not looked very good these days.

"Since I left Shanling Pass, I have become more and more uneasy. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong." Zhao Xingnian said, "I am afraid that if we leave, there will be some trouble in the capital."

"My thoughts are the same as yours." Qin Wei said. He did think so. Otherwise, he would not have approved of Zhao Xingnian's crazy rush. "Cai Cheng is not a kind person. The appearance of Wu Fan has had a great impact on him." He faced serious threats and even killed the nephew who had given him high hopes. He must hate Wu Fan extremely. If Wu Fan had lost the battle at Shanling Pass, it would have been easy to say, but Wu Fan had a big victory. We didn't have it before. It is certain that this news is true or false, but Cai Cheng has many informants in the army, so he must have already determined this matter, and he is afraid that he will be stimulated by this and do something unacceptable. "

Although Qin Wei sometimes has opinions about Wu Fan, this does not mean that he is on Cai Cheng's side. In fact, he also has no good impression of Cai Cheng, and he also knows that Cai Cheng also has no favorable impression of him. No matter how favorable he is, if Cai Cheng is powerful, he will not end up well.

"Your Majesty has just registered. If Cai Chengzhen... really raises troops to rebel, Your Majesty may be in danger." Zhao Xingnian said with a worried face.

This is what Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei are worried about.

Cai Cheng has the ability and motivation to rebel. Once he really rebels, the capital will definitely be plunged into war. Wu Ya has just ascended the throne, so it will be very dangerous to deal with such a situation.

Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were anxious to go back, just to confirm the situation in the hope of preventing that incident from happening.

Whoosh!

Just when the two of them were worried about the situation in Fengyu City, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came.

Bang bang bang!

ah!

Then the guards and servants were hit by arrows and screamed. Even the carriage that Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were riding in was also hit by several arrows. The arrows were extremely powerful. Fortunately, this carriage It was specially processed and had extremely strong defensive capabilities. The arrow was not able to penetrate the box, but it still made the two people in the car break into a cold sweat.

"There's an ambush!"

"Protect the two adults!"

"Everyone gather together to form a circular defense!"

The guards following the convoy reacted immediately. These guards who could be selected to protect Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were all the best among the best. Faced with the ambush, they reacted very quickly and quickly killed Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian. The carriages with people riding in them were surrounded in the middle for protection.

In the carriage, Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian looked at each other, their expressions even uglier.

These two people have been in the officialdom for many years and have seen all kinds of storms. Now faced with the ambush, although they were surprised, they were not afraid. The reason why the two people looked ugly was not because they were scared, but because of the ambush in front of them. , thinking of a worse situation.

"It seems that our previous guess was correct!" Zhao Xingnian said in a deep voice.

"He, Cai Cheng, actually dares to rebel?!" Qin Wei's eyes were filled with anger and a little surprise.

Although the two of them rushed all the way back and were worried that Cai Cheng would cause trouble in the capital, it was their speculation after all. Rebellion was a serious crime after all, and the nine tribes were to be punished. I have some expectations and hope that they are mistaken and overthinking.

But now it seems that, I am afraid, their previous thoughts were true.

Cai Cheng is really going to rebel!

Moreover, they also sent people to ambush them and prevent them from returning to the capital smoothly!

"Kill!"

There were shouts and screams outside the carriage. The people who ambushed the convoy rushed over without any nonsense.

"Kill!"

"Protect the adults!"

The guards who followed the convoy began to resist, and the two sides fought together in an instant.

The sound of weapons colliding, shouting, and screaming mixed together, filling the nerves of everyone present.

Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei looked at the situation outside through the curtain of the carriage. The two people keenly discovered that the people who ambushed them were not only highly skilled, but also had a clear plan for advance and retreat, and cooperated tacitly. They all used standard weapons, which further verified their previous guesses.

"There are many people coming. It seems that Cai Cheng is determined to kill us halfway." Qin Wei said.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, Wu Fan is far away in Shanling Pass, and there are not many people in the court who firmly support Your Majesty. As long as the two of us old guys can't go back, Cai Cheng's rebellion will be half successful." Zhao Xingnian said: "Cai Cheng has been in the military camp for many years, he must have thought of these things, so he will definitely not let the two of us old guys go back smoothly."
