Chapter 181 Ambush on the Mountain Road

Mrs. Ying, who had been listening, blurted out, "That should be enough for fighting."

As soon as she said that, she realized she had said something wrong.

No one else said anything. Assistant Liu lowered his head and did not dare to join in.

He Yue started a new conversation: "Since General Ke has come to plead for mercy, can the Fu family escape?"

Ke Jihai, who had pacified the rebels at Woling Pass in the front and fought against Dong Haoming in the west, was the most important general in the royal court. He had come back in person to plead for mercy for the Fu family, and the king was counting on him to defeat Dong Haoming, so he should give him some face, right?

"We will know soon."

Mrs. Ying was a little depressed and lifted the curtain to observe the road conditions. Her carriage was going down the winding mountain road, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the scenery three meters away could not be seen clearly.

In this case, no matter how wide and flat the mountain road was, you had to be extra careful when driving.

There was only a lantern in front and behind to echo each other.

Hmm? Front and back?

She glanced back: "There is another carriage following us, I wonder whose it is." General Ke's carriage in front was very close, within two feet. This is also the tacit understanding of walking in the mountains on snowy days. Everyone keeps sight distance and moves forward so that they can help each other if something happens.

Which family left the banquet in the middle of the banquet?

He Lingchuan also leaned out to take a look, and then closed his eyes after shrinking back, and then said: "Coincidentally, it is the market carriage we followed when we went up the mountain. I guess the passenger is the young man who handed the book to General Ke during the banquet. He doesn't look like an official or rich." He paused, "Well, this carriage stopped."

Madam Ying was surprised: "It's snowing so heavily, how did you tell?" She could only see a little warm light from the lantern and vaguely see the dark shadow of the carriage, but she couldn't identify it.

In fact, it's very simple. The lantern of this car is covered with green paper, and the light it emits is yellow with green. Other carriages are normal yellow-white light. He Lingchuan saw it all the way when he came here, how could he not remember it?

But he looked at He Chunhua opposite him and grinned: "I guessed it."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but my father doesn't seem to want him to accept Ke Jihai's Baipi Knife?

Just now, he saw the carriage stopped, and the driver jumped down in the snow to check the wheels. He didn't know what was wrong.

Mrs. Ying rolled her eyes.

But her words reminded He Lingchuan. Anyway, he was sitting here with nothing to do, so he just learned and used it, and tried to expand his mind again.

In the eyes of others, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The results showed that the effect of using it at night was much better than that during the day, and the burden was reduced. I don't know if it was related to his weak soul.

This feeling was very strange. He could clearly "see" the shape of each snowflake.

Although it was six-sided, there were still subtle differences between the pieces and the edges.

You have to know that there are more than thousands of snowflakes flying in front and behind the carriage. Even if you look with your eyes, you can't see them all, but the mind can do everything. Take it all in.

With such a direct comparison, he realized the benefits of using his mind to see things.

Needless to say, this is also one of the necessary skills for killing people at home and traveling.

He Lingchuan was obsessed with the expansion of his mind, but found that it could only extend to two meters at most, and could not go any further. This should be limited by the low strength of his soul.

The snow on the road, the rocks under the cliff, the white steam exhaled by the coachman, and the strange shadows on the mountain wall.

Hmm?

He Lingchuan suddenly opened his eyes, stuck his head out, and said in a thunderous voice: "Stop! Enemy attack!"

He and the coachman in the front seat were separated by a thick cloth screen. This sound was mixed with real power, just like the explosion of winter thunder, which made the coachman's ears buzz, and he subconsciously pulled the reins.

On such a snowy night, the carriage did not dare to go fast, and it stopped as soon as it was pulled.

Everyone was caught off guard and leaned forward. Ying Hongchan complained, "What..."

Before she could finish the last two words, a huge rock crashed down in front of the carriage, shattering more than a dozen black stone strips on the ground.

This was not over yet, it rolled forward a few times and fell directly down the mountain road.

A few breaths later, a dull sound of falling came from the bottom of the mountain.

Mrs. Ying's face was as white as paper.

This irregular boulder was bigger than the door of the inn, and it weighed at least 600 to 700 kilograms. If the eldest son had not stopped the carriage just now, it would be their family that was hit by the boulder and fell off the cliff!

This is the royal villa, would the weathered boulders on the mountain fall off so suddenly?

She forgot that He Lingchuan also shouted the words "enemy attack".

A dark shadow passed through the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge figure falling from the sky, "bang" hitting Ke Jihai's carriage in front!

This precise hit, the fine rosewood carriage was like paper, and it burst with a snap.

The flying wood chips even flew two feet away and hit the horse pulling the carriage for the He family.

The horse was injured in the shoulder and stood up in shock, pulling the carriage to turn out.

"General Ke!"

The He family was horrified.

The commander of a hundred thousand troops was crushed to death in the carriage for no reason?

With the light of the lantern, everyone saw that the huge shadow that fell for the second time was no longer a big stone, but a brown giant ape!

This thing was ten feet tall, and the bulging tendons seemed to burst the skin. It weighed at least two thousand pounds. It was covered with scars and wore a thorn collar around its neck. He Lingchuan had only seen this kind of spiked collar on fierce dogs. It was originally intended to prevent tigers and wolves from biting the neck, but he didn't expect it to be put on the neck of a giant ape.

What's even weirder is that it was also wearing a pale gray plate armor to block the vital parts. It didn't look like metal, but... bone?

The giant ape didn't give up even after using itself as a cannonball to knock it down. It hit Ke Jihai's carriage with an iron fist and smashed it into pieces.

Mrs. Ying wanted to scream, but when she saw its scarlet eyes scanning over, she quickly covered her mouth.

"Get out of the car!" He Chunhua ordered in a low voice. While the car blocked the giant ape's view, he picked up his wife and jumped to the ground.

The giant ape is so powerful that the carriage is no longer a safe bunker, but instead restricts everyone's movement.

He Yue also grabbed Assistant Liu and the coachman who were unconscious and got out of the car. While the giant ape was smashing Ke Jihai's carriage, He Lingchuan drew his knife with his backhand, smashed the harness of his carriage with one blow, pulled out the two horses and said: "Mount the horse, hurry up!"

On the road halfway up the mountain, the sky and the earth don't respond, so if you want to survive, you have to rely on your feet. Only by quickly hiding in the forest can we be safer.

This was not the time to make excuses. He Chunhua jumped on the horse with his wife in his arms, turned the horse's head and headed up the mountain.

He Yue also jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand to his brother, but He Lingchuan threw Deputy Liu up: "You go!"

He Yue became anxious: "Brother!"

However, He Lingchuan slapped the horse hard on the butt, inspiring it to move forward to chase He Chunhua.

Of course he himself would not sit still and wait for death. He grabbed the driver by the collar, jumped up and ran towards the civilian carriage behind him.

The distance between the two was only two feet, and for He Lingchuan, it was just a matter of raising his legs.

Before his feet even touched the ground, he repeated his old trick and also freed the two horses pulling the cart.

In his opinion, this hundred-pi sword is not as sharp as the broken knife, but it is also a rare treasure blade. It can cut through these hard woods like peeling tofu, saving labor and time.

At critical moments, a good knife can save lives.

The driver and guests of this car were already stunned by the giant ape, and were caught off guard by He Lingchuan's actions. Just as they were about to shout, He Lingchuan reminded them: "Get on your horse and run away, quickly!"

No matter how wide and flat the mountain road is, it is difficult for a carriage to turn around. How can anyone escape on horseback quickly and flexibly?

He Lingchuan also saw clearly that the passenger in the car was indeed the young man who had toasted Ke Jihai and handed him the certificate. His driver suddenly woke up from a dream, jumped on a horse and ran back. The guest tried to climb into his back seat and was almost knocked off.

He Lingchuan held the guest steady while he and he rode on the last horse and ran towards the top of the mountain.

This is his focus, he wants to borrow someone else's horse.

Eight people and four horses were on the road to escape in the blink of an eye.

This set of movements looks complicated, and only takes seven or eight breaths, which is the time it takes for the giant ape to swing its arms and hit the car six or seven times.

How could such a huge and violent monster suddenly appear in Shihuan City?

He Lingchuan immediately thought of the Northern Demon Kingdom. A banished crocodile monster could become a god in the flood waters in front of Woling Pass, stirring up wind and rain and defeating the Yuan Kingdom navy. So maybe these powerful monsters also come from the north?

The giant ape tore Ke Jihai's carriage into pieces. One of the horses pulling the carriage took the opportunity to escape, and the other one was unlucky enough to be tied to the carriage, neighing in fear.

Next, the giant ape gave two random pulls and used both arms to lift the entire carriage over his head and throw it towards the cliff!

This place was still more than ten feet above the ground. Even if Ke Jihai in the car was not smashed to death, he was still thrown to death.

He Lingchuan heard the horse neighing away, then stopped suddenly, his palms dripping with sweat.

This giant ape attacked two carriages. Was its target Ke Jihai or the He family?

To deal with Ke Jihai, it went into battle in person, but it only threw a huge stone against the He family's carriage. So, Ke Jihai is its first target?

If we understand this, perhaps He's family will have a greater chance of survival.

At this time, they went up the mountain road, hoping to distance themselves from the giant ape in a short time. That thing looked powerful, but not like a speedster.

I don’t know when the snow stopped.

At this moment, He Lingchuan saw something flashing past in the dense forest nearby from the corner of his eye.

He Yue in front was also exclaiming: "Be careful, there is something in the forest!"

But the thing moved forward in a flash, faster than a galloping horse.

He Lingchuan was furious and shouted: "Dad, lie down!"

Running at the front was He Chunhua and his wife.

As soon as he heard his son's exclamation, he turned to look, but the forest was dark and there was nothing.

There is a large piece of solid rock ahead, more than ten feet higher than the road, and the mountain road winds past its edge.

Before He Chunhua could retract his gaze, a figure appeared on the top of the rock, commanding from a high position, and swooped towards him like a predatory bird!

It actually ignored the three cavalry behind it and went straight to take He Chunhua's life.

To capture the thief, capture the king first. Monsters also understand this principle.

Fortunately, He Chunhua had already tensed up his nerves, and as soon as the corner of his eye caught sight of any movement ahead, he pulled the horse's head hard without thinking.
