Chapter 100 You've Grown Wings

Ji Weiyu said that the journey was long and full of dangers, which was indeed true in some aspects.

After two days of travel, Yan Qing and Wen Jin were stopped by a group of people on the rugged mountain road of Huping Mountain.

The mountain road here is 13 miles long and rugged. The mountainside is convenient for ambushes. It is the best hiding place for bandits to rob people on the road, and it is also the most likely place for wealthy businessmen to get into trouble on the road.

However, the people who blocked the road did not ambush, but rode horses to surround them from the front and back. There were about fifty or sixty black riders in the group, all wearing black clothes and black horses, wearing black scarves, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes, staring at Yan Qing's carriage with murderous intent.

The air seemed to drop suddenly, and a sinister air flow surged silently.

Langya and several masters sat on their horses, not panicking at all, looking at these people in silence and calmness, "Who are you? Who sent you? What do you want to do?"

The three questions were concise and to the point. They were the three questions that must be asked when a robbery or assassination attempt was made. It didn't matter whether the other party answered or not, but the necessary procedures should be followed.

The carriage was filled with the aroma of tea.

Wen Jin poured a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Yan Qing, "Your Highness, have a cup of tea and take a rest. I will go out and take a look."

Last night, Wen Jin had someone boil water in the town's villa. All they drank along the way were the tea leaves that Ji Weiyu asked them to bring. Although the hot water could not be provided in time, the temperature was inevitably different, but the situation was special and they could not be thorough.

Fortunately, the tea was brewed by Wen Jin, which could best suit Yan Qing's taste.

Wen Jin stood up and walked out. Looking at the black-clad men in front of him, his handsome and gentle face showed no special expression: "Tell me your name."

The black-clad riders slowly retreated to both sides, and a man about 30 years old rode slowly towards them. He was the only one in the group who was not wearing a veil.

The man had a handsome and feminine face, and his eyes were sinister. He looked at Wen Jin as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Is the person sitting in the carriage Doctor Yan?"

Wen Jin smiled lightly: "Yes."

"Then we have found the right person." The sinister man smiled coldly, "I am Yan Wei, Marquis of Jinyang, Chu."

Yan Wei?

Yan leaned on the couch, holding a teacup in his hand, and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

Yan Wei, one of the male favorites of the Queen Mother of Chu, was named Marquis of Jinyang. It is said that he was sent as an envoy to another country and will return to Chu soon.

It seems that it is really unfortunate. He must have received news of the incident in Chu.

"Is this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?" Langya touched his chin and smiled amusedly, "Yan Zhen is dead, Situ Xuan is imprisoned, and your queen mother seems to have been imprisoned. Now you are the only one who has escaped the net, and you actually took the initiative to ask for death? It seems that if I don't send you to reunite with your brother, it would be a bit unfair to you for your eagerness to die."

"Are you sure you are right?" The man sneered sinisterly, "It should be me who sends you to apologize to my brother."

Wen Jin raised his eyes slightly, "Archers."

As soon as the voice fell, a rustling sound from the hillside drilled into the eardrum, making people feel ominous.

Yan Wei suddenly looked up and saw a row of archers ambushed on the hillside, like a ghost that suddenly appeared in the daytime, making people feel deeply scared.

A chill rushed up from the soles of his feet, and the face of Marquis Jinyang suddenly changed.

"Leave no one alive." Wen Jin's voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard. "Send them on their way."

After saying this, he bowed and retreated into the carriage.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The rain of arrows was like a waterfall, and the unprepared black-clothed people fell off their horses one by one before they could react.

Jinyang Hou quickly dodged an arrow and hastily drew his long sword to resist. While shooting down the arrow, he tried to get close to the carriage. It was obvious from his posture that he would kill the people in the carriage.

However, Langya clamped his legs on the horse's belly, "Go!"

The horse raised its hooves and ran out with Langya. When it ran not far from Yan Wei, it raised its hand and waved its sleeves: "If someone comes to the door himself, the King of Hell will accept him."

A burst of cold fragrance wafted into his nose, and Yan Wei's sword-swinging action suddenly froze. His face quickly turned black, his pupils were dilated, and the whole person fell off the horse without warning.

Bang!

The moment he fell, his mount also fell.

No matter how skilled they were, fifty or sixty people could not withstand the dense arrows. When the rain of arrows stopped, there were only corpses on the mountain road.

The surroundings soon returned to silence.

The assassins came with great momentum and left quickly. The masters beside the carriage did not have time to attack before the battle was declared over.

Yan Qing did not even frown from beginning to end, just looking at the gentle young man in front of him: "How many days have they been guarding here?"

"Two days." Wen Jin answered truthfully, "It was originally a mission two days ago."

Yan Qing understood.

Wen Jin did not plan to stay in Chu for two more days, but later decided to stay to recuperate, which delayed the journey by two days.

"Even if you are not injured, how do you know that I will definitely leave Chu according to your plan?" Yan Qing raised her foot and kicked his chest, a little unhappy, "You have planned me perfectly, huh?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows and admitted his mistake: "If Your Highness does not want to leave, I dare not force you."

But these pre-arranged subordinates will come as usual, and they must ensure that Your Highness is safe along the way without any unexpected risks.

Yan Qing's voice was very lazy: "Besides these archers, are there other people on the road?"

"No." Wen Jin shook his head. "This mountain road is the only way to Zhuque City. The mountain road is dangerous, so I arranged an ambush here. There is a flat road ahead, so it is not very dangerous."

"Do you know that I will definitely go to Zhuque City?"

"Your Highness sent the sons of Minister Ji and Censor Hu to Zhuque City." Wen Jin lowered his eyes. "I judge that Your Highness will go to Zhuque City to end the affairs of the State of Chu."

"Not only did you find out my whereabouts clearly, you also found out what I did clearly." Yan Qing smiled casually, "Good skills."

Wen Jin pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

"It seems that you have a lot of masters under your command." Yan Qing said lightly, "These archers have been trained for a long time?"

To be able to set up an ambush here in advance, you need to be good at hiding your whereabouts, you need to bring your own dry food, and you also need to deal with some possible emergencies. If you have not undergone special training, ordinary people can really do it.

Wen Jin lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

"As for the matter of Feng Tianqi, I didn't ask much, but you are really strong now." Yan Qing raised the corners of his lips slightly, not knowing whether it was mocking or praising, "Not only can you play the emperor in the palm of your hand, even I don't seem to be your opponent."

Wen Jin lowered his eyes: "I didn't."

"Nothing?" Yan Qing smiled coldly, "You want to defend yourself?"
