Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 259 Ambush? Counter-ambush!

The night is long and dark.

A team came out of Kyoto City, holding torches and escorting two carriages.

The leader, Yang Xingye, kept urging: "Speed up, we must leave the capital of Da Chu as soon as possible."

The situation in the capital of Da Chu is too chaotic now. He does not want to get involved. The best way is to leave here as soon as possible.

As long as he returns to Dajin, he can immediately start a facial mask business and even change the predicament of the Yang family in Dajin.

The soldiers of the Dajin delegation naturally did not dare to delay. At the command, everyone accelerated their progress.

The delegation consisted of more than 200 people, which was not too many but not too few either. They were just escorting the facial masks, so they did not dare to rush too much.

After all, facial masks are fragile and need to be kept well. If they break, the mask will be useless.

Soon, after an hour, the team arrived twenty miles outside of Kyoto.

Although the terrain here is open, there are two protruding hills in front, which are particularly eye-catching.

In the darkness, everyone couldn't see the situation in front of them, and the team moved straight forward.

However, just as they were about to approach the two hills, Yang Xingye's face suddenly changed: "Something seems to be wrong ahead."

A centurion rode up behind him and frowned, "Why do you say that, Prince Consort?"

Yang Xingye pointed at the two hills and said in a deep voice, “I don’t know why, but the closer I get to this place, the more frightened I become.

And there wasn’t much cold wind blowing down those two hills, which was very unusual.”

The centurion's mouth twitched, thinking that people who live off others are trouble.

It's the middle of the night, there's nothing unusual about it.

However, he is the prince consort, and it is not easy for me to refute him in person.

"Since Prince Consort Yang is worried, I will send someone to investigate."

The centurion waved his right hand and said, "Give me four men to scout the way ahead."

At the command, four cavalrymen immediately rode forward.

However, just as they were about to rush to the hill, they heard the whistling sound of sharp arrows from the front.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four cavalrymen immediately turned their horses around and galloped back.

"Report, Prince Consort Yang, something bad has happened, there is an ambush ahead!"

"The other side seems to be well prepared. Prince Consort Yang, retreat quickly!"

The spy's report made Yang Xingye's face change drastically, and he immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat back to the city!"

At the order, the Jin delegation immediately turned around.

But at this moment, shouts of killing and the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a group of soldiers in black night clothes immediately rushed up.

They ran as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye they caught up with the Jin delegation and surrounded them.

Yang Xingye's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Defense!"

The Dajin envoys immediately surrounded him and the masked man in the carriage to protect them. The soldiers outside stared at the man in black in front of them with nervous expressions.

The men in black were not in a hurry to kill them. Instead, they made way for a path, and a commander rode out on horseback.

This person glanced at the surrounded Dajin envoys and sneered: "Hand over the mask, and I can give you a whole body!"

Yang Xingye's face was gloomy. He stared at the leader of the men in black in front of him and said coldly: "You are only three or four hundred people. If we give it a try, we still have a chance to break out!

If you know what's good for you, you'll let us go and I can pretend that nothing happened.

Otherwise, I, the Great Jin, will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and there will be no place for you in the world from now on!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the leader of the men in black burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter was so deafening that it frightened the surrounding soldiers of the Dajin delegation.

In the eyes of the crowd, the leader of the men in black laughed wildly and said, "You are here. The Great Jin Dynasty will only cause trouble for the Great Chu Dynasty. It has nothing to do with us!"

Yang Xingye frowned and wanted to say something else, but the leader of the men in black snorted coldly and pointed the crossbow at him.

"Stop talking nonsense. You only have one choice now. Hand over the mask and I will leave you with an intact body!"

After he finished speaking, the men in black around him raised their crossbows, looking as if they were ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

Yang Xingye narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face: "Do you really think you're going to win?"

The leader of the men in black was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Why, do you think someone will come here to rescue you?

The capital of Chu is now in chaos. The Crown Prince and other princes have gone to capture Princess Changping, and Chu Ning is under house arrest by the Emperor. The people of the Chu Palace are leaderless, and no one can come here to save you!"

"is it?"

Yang Xingye suddenly smiled strangely and pointed his right hand behind him: "Why don't you take a look at what's over there?"

The leader of the men in black sneered and was about to mock the prince consort for using such a crude method to deceive people, but he heard the sound of horse hooves.

"Ok?"

The leader of the men in black frowned, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the torches that appeared in the distance.

As the enemy approached quickly, in just a blink of an eye, a cavalry appeared in front of everyone.

There were a lot of people coming, enough to surround all the men in black.

An interesting situation emerged at the scene: the men in black surrounded the Jin delegation, and the newly arrived cavalry surrounded the men in black.

Under the surprised gaze of the leader of the men in black, a handsome general wearing silver-white armor and holding a spear rode out on his horse.

"Zhao! Yu!"

The moment he saw the other party, the leader of the men in black's face changed drastically and he couldn't help but shout out the other party's name.

Zhao Yu stared at the man coldly: "Since you can call out my name, it seems that you and I know each other. But I am very curious about when I met you."

The leader of the men in black rolled his eyes, suddenly changing his panic, and sneered, "Why, do you think you can take us down with just these few people?"

Raising the crossbow in his hand, the leader of the men in black regained his confidence and said in a cold voice: "With the crossbow, even if you have more people, what can you do? You are still no match for us!

Perfect, I'll take advantage of this opportunity to take care of you tonight!"

After saying this, the man was about to order an attack.

But Zhao Yu said indifferently: "Really? Then you might as well look behind you again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry group suddenly rushed out from behind the group of men in black.

The leader was wearing a close-fitting leather armor, which showed off his curvy figure to the fullest.

The person who came was none other than Princess Changping.

The cavalry behind him were naturally the soldiers of the Qin delegation!

"This... How is this possible? She... Isn't she really wanted by you?"

The leader of the men in black suddenly panicked. He didn't understand why things had turned out to this point.

But Princess Changping, who was full of anger, didn't want to talk to him at all, and waved the Fangtian Huaji in her hand and rushed forward to kill him.

At the same time, Yang Xingye and Zhao Yu also ordered an attack!

For a moment, the men in black faced attacks from all sides, and the battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.

Whether in terms of momentum, numbers or geographical location, the men in black have no advantage.

More than 400 people were killed in less than half an hour, leaving only the leader of the men in black, who was captured alive by Princess Changping.

Princess Changping took off the man's veil and sneered, "It's you!"

"Someone, take this man back. I want to see his expression after he fails!"
