Chapter 1517: Get ready

As a palace guard, the Yulin Army guards the safety of the entire royal family of Yanfeng Kingdom. Its status is extremely special and important. Not everyone can enter. Even if Shao Haogang has a noble background, there is no way to use the back door.

Originally, Shao Haogang's family thought that he would be dismissed. Who would have thought that Shao Haogang would successfully enter the Imperial Guard Army with his own hard work and excellent skills, and he would continue to climb the ranks in the Imperial Guard Army.

Shao Haogang's family gradually accepted this reality. Moreover, Shao Haogang's status in the imperial army was getting higher and higher, which was very beneficial to the entire Shao family. Therefore, Shao Haogang's family no longer opposed his joining the army, and even encouraged him to join the army. Do a good job in the Guardsmen.

Shao Haogang took the initiative to apply for the task of escorting the escorting team. Although he did well in the Royal Forest Army, Shao Haogang never forgot his original dream: to fight and perform meritorious service on the battlefield.

However, there has been no chance for so many years, and they are still trapped in the imperial capital and the imperial palace. After all, the status of the imperial guards is very special. Without special circumstances, they will not leave the imperial palace or the imperial capital.

Shao Haogang, who had been holding back for a long time, heard about this mission and took the initiative to apply to escort Zhao Qi to Tianji Kingdom. Although he could not go to the frontline battlefield, it would be good to leave the palace and the imperial capital for a walk.

Because Shao Haogang performed well on weekdays and had good abilities, the escort task fell most heavily on him. Before leaving, the old emperor also summoned Shao Haogang. It was also Shao Haogang's first close encounter. Contact with the old emperor.

The old emperor told Shao Haogang that he must protect Zhao Qi's safety along the way, and at the same time, arrive at Tianji Kingdom as quickly as possible and perform the escort mission well. He will naturally be rewarded when he comes back. If something unexpected happens to the escort, then, When he comes back, he will definitely not be spared lightly.

The old emperor's words made Shao Haogang's heart tremble.

Originally, Shao Haogang thought that this was an ordinary escort mission and there would be no problems. After all, their Yanfeng Kingdom was still one of the four superpowers, and the destination of sending their relatives was Tianji Kingdom, another superpower. Who dared not open their eyes? To cause trouble?

But from the old emperor's demeanor and tone, Shao Haogang felt something unusual: this escort mission might not be that simple.

After realizing this, Shao Haogang was not afraid, but rather excited:

He finally had a chance to show off his skills!

But now, Zhao Qi came over and vowed that the Shuiyue Kingdom's army was about to attack them. Even though he was mentally prepared, Shao Haogang was still a little dazed.

"Yes, there are many of them, and they will be here soon." Zhao Qi said with certainty.

"Your Highness, Princess, how did you know about this situation?" Shao Haogang asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, please don't get me wrong. However, the scouts I sent did not return this news, and Her Royal Highness has been resting in the camp, so at the end of the day, I will be curious as to how Her Royal Highness knew.”

This is indeed what Shao Haogang is confused about. If the scouts came back with this news, he would definitely believe it. But now that Zhao Qi came to tell him this news, he was somewhat doubtful. After all, Zhao Qi had never Having left the camp, logically speaking, she couldn't know the situation outside.

"Don't worry about how I know it. Anyway, this news can't be wrong." Zhao Qi said: "Time is running out, General Shao, please immediately put the team in a defensive formation and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Your Highness Princess..."

"I am ordering you as a princess, not discussing with you. Now, immediately prepare your men to face the enemy!" Zhao Qi directly interrupted Shao Haogang's words, put on the airs of a princess, and said with a cold face.

Shao Haogang hesitated for a moment, then said loudly to Zhao Qi: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away!"

Although he still wondered how Zhao Qi knew the news, and even doubted the accuracy of the news, since Zhao Qi had such an attitude, Shao Haogang had to obey. Even if the news was wrong, it would at most delay some rest time for the soldiers. That’s all.

"Wake up everyone immediately!" The young master just left and said to the deputy general next to him: "In addition, let people arrange horse trip ropes, trap horses, and scatter iron nails in front of the camp."

Since preparations were made as if there was a real enemy coming to attack, Shao Haogang didn't mind making more adequate preparations.

"Yes." The deputy general next to him responded.

Afterwards, the entire camp seemed to wake up from its sleep and became busy.

Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shao Haogang had obeyed his orders, and then returned to the carriage again.

There was no sign of Wu Fan in the carriage. Zhao Qi was a little worried and got off the carriage to look for it, but looked around and saw no sign of Wu Fan.

"Princess, the Viscount is very skilled, so he will be fine." Xiao Qing, who was following Zhao Qi, said softly.

"Two fists are hard to beat with four hands." Zhao Qi said: "The Shuiyue Kingdom's army is coming soon. No matter how strong Wu Fan is, it will be very dangerous to face a large number of troops."

Zhao Qi had a worried look on her face. Although she saw Wu Fan take action, she didn't know Wu Fan's true strength. Seeing that the battle was about to begin, she was naturally very worried.

However, no one else knew about Wu Fan's existence, so Zhao Qi could only search for him with Xiao Qing. However, the camp was very large, and now everyone was busy and chaotic. It was undoubtedly difficult to find someone in such an environment.

At this time, Wu Fan had already reached the outskirts of the camp. According to the information provided by the Black Shadow Four-winged Bird and the Yaoyang Spotted Bird, he looked to the southeast of the camp, where the Shuiyue Kingdom's army was ambushed.

"These Shuiyue Kingdom's troops are quite smart. They know to launch an attack at this time." Wu Fan muttered.

At this moment, the guards on duty were the most trapped and relaxed. The Shuiyue Kingdom's army chose to launch an attack at this time, which was obviously well prepared.

The reason why they chose to ambush in a place far away from the Yanfeng Kingdom's station should be to give the horses a space to sprint. After all, the cavalry can only exert their maximum power if their speed is fully increased.

Dongdongdong!

Soon, a series of dull horse hoof sounds were heard. Even without the information provided by the aerial scouts, Wu Fan could tell from the sound that the Shuiyue Kingdom’s troops were quite numerous in the nearby wedding procession.

“It seems that the emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom is really ready to kill Zhao Qi with one strike.” Wu Fan sighed in his heart.
