Chapter 1294 Using oneself as bait

The fight outside the carriage continued, and it became more and more intense, with people falling down almost every second.

Although the identities of the ambushers were not known yet, Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei had already guessed their identities in their hearts.

"Cai Cheng really values ​​the two of us." Zhao Xingnian laughed self-deprecatingly: "Sent so many people, and they are all so strong. I'm afraid they are the elite of a certain team?"

Qin Wei did not speak, but looked at the scene outside the carriage, his face became more solemn.

The situation outside the carriage was indeed not optimistic. Cai Cheng did attach enough importance to Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian. Since he had sent people to ambush and kill them, he must kill the two and not give them the opportunity to return to the capital.

"Old Qin, I want to ask you for something." Zhao Xingnian suddenly said to Qin Wei in a very peaceful voice.

Qin Wei looked at Zhao Xingnian with a little surprise. In the past, the two of them had cooperated and competed in the court. Their private relationship was neither good nor bad, but they had been standing in the court of Nanping for many years and had long been familiar with each other. There was a special feeling between them.

However, before this, Zhao Xingnian had never called Qin Wei "Old Man Qin".

"After you go back, I hope you can assist His Majesty wholeheartedly. Although His Majesty is a woman, her ambition and ability are no less than that of men. Our Nanping Kingdom will surely regain its former glory in her hands." Zhao Xingnian ignored Qin Wei's surprise and said to himself.

"Why are you talking about this now?" Qin Wei said, "There are many people outside who want to kill us two old guys. Let's get out of this danger first and then talk about other things."

"And Wu Fan." Zhao Xingnian still ignored Qin Wei and continued, "He is a very good young man, capable, and very loyal to His Majesty. I know you have some opinions about him, but I hope that you can put aside your prejudices and assist His Majesty with him."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Qin Wei was a little confused about what his old friend next to him wanted to say.

Zhao Xingnian lifted the curtain and called a guard next to the carriage to get on the carriage.

"Take off your clothes." Zhao Xingnian said.

"Take off your clothes?" Qin Wei was stunned, and then asked again: "What exactly are you going to do?"

The guard who was called up took off his coat immediately without hesitation after hearing what Zhao Xingnian said.

"Don't be stunned, take off your clothes quickly." Zhao Xingnian said to Qin Wei: "Time is running out."

"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do." Qin Wei asked.

"You two." Zhao Xingnian pointed at the guard and then at Qin Wei: "Change clothes."

"Change clothes?" Qin Wei was slightly stunned, and then understood Zhao Xingnian's plan.

"After changing clothes, those people outside may not let us go." Qin Wei said: "Cai Cheng's target is the two of us. Those people outside will not give up until they see our bodies."

"I know." Zhao Xingnian said: "I will let them see me."

"See you?" Qin Wei looked at Zhao Xingnian with a calm face and said in surprise: "You plan to... No!"

"This is the only way!" Zhao Xingnian said: "Okay, hurry up, don't be fussy, there is no time."

"But..."

"No buts." Zhao Xingnian said firmly: "You just have to agree to what I just told you. In the capital, His Majesty needs someone to help."

As he said, Zhao Xingnian signaled the guard to help Qin Wei take off his coat.

Qin Wei hesitated a little. He had already understood Zhao Xingnian's plan, which made him both surprised and sad.

Soon, Qin Wei's official coat was taken off, and the servant put it on swiftly, even taking off Qin Wei's official hat and putting it on his head.

"After I lead those people away, you will rush to the capital immediately, don't delay on the way. Since Cai Cheng has taken action against us, the capital must also be preparing to take action. You must rush back as soon as possible to help His Majesty, and never let Cai Cheng succeed!" Zhao Xingnian sorted out his clothes and told Qin Wei.

Afterwards, without waiting for Qin Wei to say anything, he got off the carriage first, and the guard who changed into Qin Wei's clothes got off the carriage immediately after.

"Mr. Zhao!" Qin Wei shouted, but Zhao Xingnian did not linger. After getting off the carriage, he rode on the horse with the help of the guard, looked back at Qin Wei, and said, "Don't forget what I just said!"

Then, Zhao Xingnian shouted to the people around him, "Escort me to break through!"

After that, Zhao Xingnian drove the horse and rushed to the left. The guard wearing Qin Wei's clothes followed Zhao Xingnian all the time.

"Protect me quickly!"

"Follow me!"

Zhao Xingnian shouted loudly while riding a horse.

Zhao Xingnian's behavior attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience. His voice and official uniform made those who were ambushing recognize his identity at once.

As for the man next to Zhao Xingnian who was also wearing official uniform, he kept his head down and did not speak, but the ambushing people naturally thought he was Qin Wei.

"Don't let them get away!"

"Chase them!"

"Stop them!"

When the ambushers saw their target, they immediately rushed towards Zhao Xingnian. The order they received was to kill Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei on the way no matter what, and never let them return to the capital!

The guards of the convoy were desperately protecting Zhao Xingnian and "Qin Wei" and helping them break through. However, this was not easy. There were too many people in ambush. They could not get rid of each other at all and could only move forward in the constant entanglement with each other.

As Zhao Xingnian moved away, the scene of the battle also remained in place. Only a few people were left at the original position of the convoy. The ambushed people did not pay too much attention to these "irrelevant people". Their primary goal was to kill Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei.

Qin Wei was in the carriage, looking at Zhao Xingnian who was going away with a complicated expression. He understood that Zhao Xingnian sacrificed himself and used himself as bait to give him a chance to survive. Qin Wei did not expect that the two had fought in the court for so many years, and in the end, Zhao Xingnian would save him like this.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I agreed to what you just said." Qin Wei whispered to himself.

After the few attackers around the carriage were killed, Qin Wei also got off the carriage and rode on the horse. Then, with a few guards, he ran towards the capital.

The direction Zhao Xingnian just left was another direction. Those ambushing people had been led away. What Qin Wei had to do now was to rush back to the capital as quickly as possible.

As for Zhao Xingnian, he could only pray in his heart.
