Chapter 12: Jungle Attack
Chu Boping arranged for Jia Xiaoxian to leave Youguan City secretly, and sent a team of ten armored soldiers to disguise themselves and protect him. He also gave Jia Xiaoxian a saber puppet to protect him in secret..
After bidding farewell to Jia Xiaoxian, Chu Boping and his party left the bustling Youguan City and headed towards the interior of Youzhou. A group of people disguised themselves as caravans. Those who were not clear would not be able to see anything unusual..
As soon as they left Youguan City, the road was relatively wide and smooth, and their speed was not slow. Yan Xingyun led the way at the front of the team. He rode a tall horse, dressed in a green robe, and his sword was sheathed. He looked like a guard leader. Dozens of armored soldiers dressed as guards were stationed in all directions of the team to be on guard at any time..
The rest of the soldiers dressed up as caravans, driving wagons or caravans. Besides a few loaded wagons, there were three boxcars ahead, which had to move slowly to keep pace with the wagons.
Chu Boping and the others sat in the carriages. The children in the carriages gradually walked out of the shadows and regained their childlike qualities. They looked out of the window for a while and whispered to each other for a while, adding a little fun to the boring journey..
Suddenly, the motorcade stopped, and there was chaos ahead. Chu Boping lifted the curtain and looked out, laughing..
It was a skinny young man in white again, with dozens of burly men behind him. He was really haunting..
" Haha, I've got it figured out. They're just a group of peddlers who came to Youguan City to buy. How dare they go against me? They're really impatient to live!" The young man put his hands on his hips and laughed arrogantly..
" Coincidentally, our Sea Shark Gang came to Youguan City for business. Dozens of people came. It's easy to deal with your small caravan. Tsk tsk, this isn't Haifeng City. Otherwise, I'll crush you to death with a single finger! Hahaha!" The young man continued to laugh loudly and gestured to the dozens of burly men behind him..
" Go! Beat them up so badly that they don't even know their own mothers! Detain their goods! If you don't kneel down and beg for mercy, I won't let you go! Hahahaha!" Dozens of people rushed forward like bees, raising axes, iron rods and other weapons to attack everyone. The armored soldiers were about to attack, but Yan Xingyun stopped them..
" Stand back! I'll do it myself!" Yan Xingyun grabbed his steed with both legs and charged straight towards the crowd. He didn't unsheathe his sword. He only grabbed an iron rod and immediately started fighting with the Sea Shark Gang. Soon, dozens of burly men fell to the ground and groaned. Obviously, they were all injured but not in danger..
"F * ck, where did such a powerful person come from? Brother, how much compensation do these guys give you? I, Ma Xiaohai, will double it for you. How are you doing with me?.
Ma Xiaohai was stunned. He looked at Yan Xingyun's imposing image and drooled. He wanted to hire Yan Xingyun at a high price..
" Get lost!" Yan Xingyun ignored him and turned around to return to the team..
" F * ck, this is not my territory. If you dare to come to Haifeng City, I'll make you regret coming to this world. Stop pretending to be dead. Let's go!" Ma Xiaohai said as usual. He clapped his hands hard and left dejectedly..
"Haifeng City's Sea Shark Gang? Tsk tsk, interesting. Just when I wanted to sleep, someone came to deliver a pillow..
Chu Bo looked at the backs of the Sea Shark Gang members as they left and said with some amusement..
Not long after the Sea Shark Gang escaped, the path began to narrow. The path ahead actually crossed through a dense forest. It could be seen that it must have cost a lot of effort to open this path..
The forest was so thick that it was impossible to see the forest clearly on the road. Suddenly, a flock of birds flew up ahead..
"Young Master, something is wrong. This place is perfect for ambushes..
Yan Xingyun stopped his horse and raised his hand backward, indicating that he should not move forward..
"It doesn't matter. We've already reached Youzhou. Where can the enemy find us? Continue advancing..
Chu Boping raised the curtain and said calmly..
Yan Xingyun didn't retort, and the convoy continued to move forward..
Suddenly, several arrows were shot out from the depths of the forest. Yan Xingyun seemed to have been prepared for this. He unsheathed his sword and swept out several beautiful sword flowers, sweeping the arrows to the ground..
" There are enemies, be on guard!" Yan Xingyun quickly gave the order. His subordinates immediately took action, picking up shields or looking for cover to prevent cold arrows from shooting again..
" Quick reflexes. It's fine. Follow me!" A hoarse voice came from the depths of the forest..
Soon, hundreds of figures appeared in the forest. They all looked like experts. The leader had a moustache and a bun. He looked a little ridiculous..
Yan Xingyun and the others immediately protect Chu Bo's front..
"Looks like they really want to exterminate me. Hmm, there are no grandmaster experts. As expected, those above grandmaster level cannot enter Youguan City. Otherwise, if the city lord senses it, they will be killed immediately..
Chu Boping glanced at the assassins who surrounded him. His tone was not heavy, and he did not look like he was forced into a dead end..
" If that's all you have, then I'll send you on your way. Uncle Wu, kill them all. Don't hold back!" Chu Boping said, and a figure suddenly appeared from the dense forest. On closer inspection, it was an old man with gray hair and beard. His figure was like a ghost, charging into the crowd like a wolf. Countless assassins died instantly..
" Grandmaster expert, your idea is tough!" The remaining fifty to sixty assassins immediately dispersed into birds and beasts. The old man continued to chase after them. Yan Xingyun, Shan Feiyu, and the others also joined the chase. An assassin who entered the forest let out a scream. An arrow was stuck in his body, and another assassin was pierced by a spear..
It turned out to be two Mohist puppets hidden in the forest.
:.
[Hunter turned into prey! Very soon, the assassins were all slaughtered. The leader was grabbed by the neck of the commoner grandmaster and brought back to the front of the convoy like a chicken.].
The leader coughed up a mouthful of blood and was in a bad state..
"Well, your men are dead. Tell me, who sent you to kill me? How did you know where we were?".
Chu Boping asked calmly. Suddenly, his tone changed and he said coldly,"If you don't say it, your end will be thousands of times worse than your subordinates. Believe me, you definitely don't want to face the torture you will face.".
The leader did not show a frightened expression, but looked up at Chu Boping and softened his attitude..
"I can say it, but you have to tell me why grandmasters can enter Youguan City..
"If you want to understand your identity, why should I satisfy your curiosity as a prisoner?" Chu Boping smiled disdainfully..
And even if I told you, would you give me what I want? It's so boring, a dying man's curiosity is not satisfied.
After saying that, the assassin leader's face suddenly turned ashen. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he fell straight down. Shan Feiyu quickly went forward to check. He was actually poisoned and died, but he did not know when he had taken the poison..
Seeing that the assassin leader was dead, Chu Boping rose up and grabbed the neck of a former city guard..
" Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?" The man looked at Chu Boping in disbelief. Perhaps because he was too flustered, he did not address Chu Boping by his alias..
" Your companions are all dead, shouldn't you go down and reminisce with them?" Chu Boping's face was calm, but his hand tightened a little..
" Do you want to know how I detected you? It doesn't matter if I tell you. After following me for so many days, you should know that I have the long-lost Mo Family inheritance. The Mo Family has a small item. If someone nearby has hostility towards me for a long time, they can detect it. This is why I had to chat with the assassin even though I knew I couldn't get anything out of him. It was your partner who exposed you..
Chu Boping sneered, his hand suddenly increased, breaking the neck of that person, and the corpse slowly fell down..
Chu Boping withdrew his hand and turned to the old man in plain clothes. He called the old man to get into the car and respectfully said,"Uncle Wu, thank you for your arrival. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.".
"Your Highness, don't be polite with your old servant..
The old man surnamed Wu hurriedly said, and activated his internal energy to form a barrier to cover the carriage..
"Uncle Wu, you should have heard about my Jin 'an situation even though I'm in Youzhou, right?.
Chu Boping asked the old man a little sadly..
" Your Highness, I've heard about it. Please rest assured, Your Highness. This old servant, Wu Huaiqing, was born from Jin 'an and died as Jin' an's soul. Even if Jin 'an is not around, this old servant will still swear allegiance to Your Highness!" Wu Huaiqing was a little excited as he spoke, and there were even some tears in his eyes..
"Three months ago, Your Highness sent this old servant to Youzhou to find the place. We have already found it in the Misty Mountains and have begun planning. We are waiting for Your Highness's order..
"Wu Huaiqing spoke of this with some pleasure..
"Good, that's just right. This matter is especially important. There must be no mistakes..
Chu Boping said this, no longer speaking, immediately ordered Yan Xingyun to command his men to simply bury the assassin's body, Wu Huaiqing led the way to continue, the next day, three original city guards disappeared for no reason..
Yan Xingyun walked into the carriage and whispered," It seems that these three are spies. Your Highness, does the Mo Family really have a malicious object?" Yan Xingyun looked incredulous..
" I lied to them. The Mo Family is only good at mechanisms and puppets, not immortals. How can there be objects that can pry into the mind?" The two of them looked at each other and smiled..
"The spies I killed were only discovered by me when they were passing information. Most of Jin 'an Dynasty's current situation was caused by traitors. How could I not take this as a warning and take extra precautions?.
Chu Boping said seriously..
" Your Highness, will there be any spies left on this trip?" Yan Xingyun asked the Crown Prince. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around..
" Who knows? It's not a bad thing to have more thoughts. We'll see what we can do." The prince sighed softly and moved his limbs..
