Chapter 643 Ambush

The tea came quickly, along with a plate of roast chicken and a few sesame seed cakes. The boy bought them from the stall next door.

After taking a sip, I found that the tea was indeed a bit bitter.

"Ask you a question."

After Situ Yu took a few sips and ate something briefly, he began to inquire about what happened recently.

He still couldn't worry about his eldest sister.

When I left, I heard that the bandits outside were about to attack the city, and the imperial court also started a counterattack. As an important stronghold, Yulei City should also be greatly affected.

If it were normal times, Situ Yu would have used his demon to eavesdrop.

But in a place like Renxian Temple, his demons are all isolated, and the six-eared demons can't hear anything inside. It is precisely because of this that Situ Yu believes so much in the Immortal Temple, because he has never heard of any place that can isolate the power of demons.

"Sir, tell me."

The boy walked in cautiously, and after quietly glancing at King Xining and others who were meditating with their eyes closed beside them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The aura of these uncles is too strong.

Maybe he is a big shot from Beijing, but he needs to be taken care of. Thinking of this, the boy looked at Situ Yu, the only one who was more talkative, and bent even lower.

"Have the bandits attacked Yulei City?" Situ Yu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"No."

When the boy heard this, he immediately shook his head.

His place is the entrance and exit of the Yulei City area, so this information can still be known accurately.

Situ Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the war hadn't happened yet.

Qiuxian Valley's movements were much slower than he expected. Could it be that he encountered some trouble?

Situ Yu thought of the scene where the imperial court and Qiuxian Valley went deep into the mountains not long ago, and vaguely guessed whether there was any connection between the two.

What he didn't notice was that after he asked the boy, he turned around and went to the other side to brag.

"They must all be important figures in the imperial court. With their aura, I would believe him even if he is the prince."

A group of vendors gathered around the tea stall boy, listening to his bragging.

One of them blinked twice, glanced at their carriage, and left quietly.

Wu Chong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and glanced at the direction where the man disappeared, and then ignored him.

After resting, the group continued on the road.

After passing the inn, we walked another dozen miles and slowly entered a canyon. This is Yuchen Gorge, which is the most dangerous place to enter Yulei City. In the past, when there was no trouble in Qiuxian Valley, there were many bandits entrenched in this place, not to mention now.

Normal businessmen would definitely take a detour.

However, people like Wu Chong and others were brave and talented, and no one took them lightly, so they did not choose to take a detour.

"There was a carriage overturned in front, blocking the way."

King Xining stopped the carriage and whispered to Wu Chong and Situ Yu in the carriage.

"Go over and have a look."

Situ Yu walked down and took a look and found that it was a tea truck with the mark of their county governor's mansion on it. He still had some vague impression that the merchant in charge was indeed from their county governor's house.

Wu Chong was still studying the 'origin of the world' without opening his eyes.

Seeing that Wu Chong didn't speak, the others followed Situ Yu's order.

"How come a good axle is broken!"

As they got closer, they heard the leader scolding his subordinates.

The coolies were also working hard to unload the goods, and they were all sweating profusely.

Seeing Situ Yu and the others approaching, the steward immediately greeted them with a smile, and said to them with an apologetic smile.

"It happened suddenly. I'm really sorry that it delayed a few people's schedule."

"It doesn't matter."

Situ Yu waved his hand.

He has confirmed that in addition to tea, these supplies also include salt and spices, all of which are needed by the governor's mansion. Since it was his own, he didn't care so much.

call.

The breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, and the leaves on the canyons on both sides were rustling.

Situ Yu looked up and didn't notice anything unusual.

The moment the wind blew over, King Xining and Donghua Sword Master instinctively sensed the danger and subconsciously took out their weapons.

"Something's wrong."

King Xining narrowed his eyes, as did the Donghua Sword Master next to him.

Their cognition was distorted by the concept of immortality, but it was not that they were dumbfounded. The scene in front of them made them subconsciously feel the danger.

"Poison?"

In the carriage, Wu Chong opened his eyes.

He has spiritual awareness and can see the thieves ambushing both sides of the mountain without leaving the carriage. These people's auras are very powerful, and they are all first-class masters in this world, and the leader is one of the top beings in the world.

The fact that so many people were ambushing here must have been planned in advance. They were just lucky enough to bump into them.

On top of the giant trees on both sides of the canyon.

In the area covered by leaves, more than a dozen people were hiding, looking down at Situ Yu and others below. One of them threw aside the paper bag that had just been sprinkled with medicinal powder.

"So vigilant?"

The speaker was a woman, who looked to be in her twenties, with a slender figure and a handsome face. The only regret is that there is a scar between her eyebrows, which seems to be caused by a dagger.

"These people are not bad. The one driving over there is the King of Xining, the Sword Master of Donghua, and Sun Wuji, who caught big fish this time."

The person who responded was also a woman, but she was a little older than the one who gave the poison. She looked about thirty years old, and her face looked a little cold. Judging from the language and location, this woman should be the leader of these thieves, and everyone calls her Aunt Leng.

"I originally wanted to capture the reinforcements coming from Beijing, but I didn't expect to gain something else. These people gathered together to destroy our plan."

Aunt Leng judged the time, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.

If you catch so many big fish, you will definitely get a lot of credit when you go back. Especially for King Xining, who is the brother of the current emperor, there are too many places that can be used after catching them.

"It's almost time, let's do it."

Aunt Leng made a slight leap, flew to the outermost tree, took out a piece of bamboo silk, stretched it with a bowstring, and then shot it downwards with the help of the wind.

"Be careful, these are big fish."

The woman who spoke first also moved. She turned her right arm and took out a square wooden box from underneath. The dense holes in the front section were pointed at the other people. When she pulled the hidden thread, all the hidden weapons flew out. .

"No, there's a hidden weapon!"

Donghua Sword Master was the first to react, and saw him wave his hand with one hand, and the powerful sword light instantly enveloped him.
