Chapter 662 Someone is catching up

"I'll give you another chance." Zhao Qiushan said: "I have already asked people to follow me. You rush over with people and be sure to kill them on the way. This time, no accidents are allowed, otherwise, You don’t have to come back to see me.”

"Yes, sir!" Feng Yun and Li Shan responded at the same time.

Then the two people immediately turned around and left. For them, they had failed once before and disappointed Zhao Qiushan. This time, they must not fail again.

Outside Xingping City, Wu Fan and others continued on their way. It was actually not too far away from the capital of Nanping Kingdom, and they would be able to reach it in a short time. However, even with this not-so-far distance, they might not be able to go smoothly.

"Someone really caught up." Wu Fan suddenly said to himself.

With the Swift Wind Eagle's real-time monitoring at high altitude, Wu Fan was able to know everything around him. Although the people following him were careful, they were still discovered by the Swift Wind Eagle, and Wu Fan caught his eye.

"What did you say?" Wu Ya, who was sitting in the same carriage, asked.

"It seems that the city lord has not given up yet. Our journey will not be smooth." Wu Fan said to Wu Ya.

"Are you sure he can do it?" Wu Ya asked.

"Absolutely." Wu Fan said. There were not many people in Xingping City who could set fire late at night and could send teams to follow them. City Lord Zhao was definitely the most suspect.

Wu Ya's face looked a little gloomy. If what happened at the inn last night was really related to Zhao Qiushan, then her fourth brother also had a problem.

"Someone is coming!" Wu Fan suddenly said when Wu Ya was secretly sad.

"What?" Wu Ya was slightly startled.

Wu Fan did not look at Wu Ya, but said to Luo Yue: "Go and notify Luo Baosong and ask him to stop the team and put the carriage into a defensive formation. There is an enemy approaching."

"Yes, young master." Luo Yue responded, quickly got off the carriage and went to inform Luo Baosong.

"Did they catch up so quickly?" Wu Ya asked again.

"Well, there are quite a few people coming," Wu Fan said.

Through the investigation of the Gale Eagle, Wu Fan could clearly see that a group of people came out of Xingping City and were heading in their direction. At this critical moment, Wu Fan would not think that this was just a coincidence, especially Those people deliberately dressed up as horse thieves, which made them even more suspicious.

Luo Baosong's reaction was very quick. The entire team quickly found a terrain that was relatively suitable for defense and stopped. After that, the caravan's carriages formed a circle, and everyone stayed in this circle, alert to the surroundings.

Luo Baosong didn't know how Wu Fan found out that there was an enemy chasing behind him. However, he was also a thoughtful person. He had guessed before that the fire in the inn last night was related to the city lord's mansion, and if the city lord discovered the third princess If he is not dead, he will never give up easily, so the possibility of being chased is very high.

As a businessman who travels all over the country, Luo Baosong has rich experience in dealing with such attacks on the way. After all, these are troubled times, with many thieves and rebel soldiers. People who do business and "travel long distances" often You will encounter various attacks along the way. Although you have lost a lot, you have also accumulated rich experience.

"Definitely!"

Not long after Luo Baosong's caravan arranged their formation, everyone heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. Then, a group of cavalry appeared in everyone's field of vision. These cavalry were dressed like horse thieves, but their formation was more rigorous and complete than the horse thieves' formation. , everyone is murderous.

These "horse thieves" were naturally Feng Yun, Li Shan and their men who were chasing after them. In order not to be charged with attacking and killing the third princess, they quickly changed their clothes after leaving the city and pretended to be horse thieves. Anyway, In this era, it was normal to encounter horse thieves in the wild. The third princess and others were killed by horse thieves, which had nothing to do with them.

However, when Feng Yun, Li Shan and others caught up with Wu Ya's caravan, they discovered that the caravan had been prepared and had already set up a defensive formation. Although they did not use the caravan's defense However, the other party's behavior seemed to indicate that they had expected to be attacked, which made everyone feel that things seemed to be beyond their expectations.

"Go up, kill them all and take away their belongings!" Li Shan shouted.

Their current identity is not soldiers of Xingping City, nor guards of the main palace of Xingping City, but horse thieves. As horse thieves, they naturally want to kill people and steal goods.

Following Li Shan's order, soldiers and guards followed, clamping their legs under the horse's belly, and rushed towards the defensive circle formed by the caravan.

Li Shan and Feng Yun charged forward and killed them with fierce expressions.

It's just an ordinary guard. They can handle it with just one charge. They have already failed once before. This time, they have to perform better.

"Don't panic! Hold still! Rely on the carriage to fight them! If the carriage is in the way, the advantage of their cavalry will be reduced by half." The leader of the caravan's guard said loudly.

When nothing happens, Luo Baosong is in charge of the caravan. Once attacked, the leader of the caravan guard will take over the command.

"Stand back, you two. When the fight breaks out later, be smart and hide behind my people. I don't have much time to take care of you." The leader of the caravan's guard said to Wu Fan and others.

The guard leader did not know the specific identities of Wu Fan and others, but from Luo Baosong's attitude towards Wu Fan and others, Wu Fan and others must have extraordinary identities, and Luo Baosong had just told him to protect Wu Fan and others, so he came here to remind Wu Fan and others.

"We don't need your protection, just take care of yourself." Wu Ya said to the guard leader.

"The horse thieves are attacking, it's very dangerous now, you'd better not be willful, they won't be polite to you." The guard leader frowned and said with some displeasure.

When such a war is coming, what he dislikes most is to protect these people of noble status. If these people are obedient, it's fine, but if they are not obedient, it will affect his command.

And these people in front of him don't seem to be very obedient.

Then, as soon as the guard leader finished speaking, he saw the "Mr. Wu" called by Luo Baosong took out a bow and arrow from somewhere, and then skillfully bent the bow and put the arrow, and the arrow flew out like a stream of light.

"Puff!"

"Bang!"

The guard leader turned around and saw Wu Fan's arrow, which accurately hit the man in the front of the "horse thieves" team. After being shot, the man fell off the horse and was stepped on by the cavalry behind him who couldn't dodge in time. He died immediately.

"We don't need you to take care of us." Wu Fan turned around and looked at the guard leader and said, "Just command your people."
