"These guys have bad intentions. Are they targeting us?" Zheng Yuanli asked.
Black clothes mean that actions at night are more concealed, indicating that things will never be done openly.
Princess Anfu frowned and muttered: "It may not be aimed at us, it may be aimed at Imperial Master Dakun... or even someone else. We'd better hide and go back."
She won't be unscrupulous just because of her high martial arts skills. That is an army of more than a hundred people. She is not afraid, and so is Sixth Brother beside her.
"There is a small town behind. Let's go there and rest for another day before setting off tomorrow." Zheng Yuanli said.
He also has no desire to be competitive. At this level, the position of emperor is within easy reach. He no longer needs to be competitive to prove his strength and power. He only needs to act rationally.
"Let's go." Princess Anfu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned the horse's head.
She was most afraid that her sixth brother would show off his courage and insist on breaking through, or that he would take action when the road was rough.
Zheng Yuanli then turned the horse's head, and the two of them walked back along the official road. It only took half a day to return to the small town. They rested for a day and then continued on their way. The ambush here must have disappeared.
Half an hour later, Princess Anfu suddenly said: "Brother Six, stop for a moment!"
Zheng Yuanli reined in his horse.
At the sound of "Xi Yu Yu", the horse suddenly stopped, and the man stood up and stood firmly on the spot.
Zheng Yuanli sat upright as usual, showing off his superb riding skills, and said with a smile: "Little sister, there won't be any ambush, right?"
Princess Anfu's beautiful face tightened and she nodded slowly.
She jumped up and floated to the top of the tallest tree beside the road. She raised her eyes and looked around. Her eyes suddenly burst into light, which startled Zheng Yuanli. He quickly averted his eyes, not daring to look directly at her.
After a moment, she landed lightly back on the saddle and said slowly: "Brother Six, you were right!"
"Is there still an ambush?" Zheng Yuanli frowned and said, "Are they part of a group?"
"They are all wearing black clothes, and the weapons are the same, and the aura is similar." Princess Anfu nodded: "They are obviously a group of people. They should be outflanking them from the front and the rear, but they are quite tight."
"Who will it be used against?" Zheng Yuanli felt bad: "It won't be used against us, right?"
"Now we can only think this way and prepare for the worst." Princess Anfu said: "Let's try going east."
"Let's go!" Zheng Yuanli nodded.
The two turned their horses and walked through a path in the woods. They walked eastward for more than twenty miles and passed through a hill. When they finally came to the official road, Princess Anfu stopped again, jumped up and landed on the treetops, watching. He fell down after a while and shook his head: "There is also an ambush!... Sixth brother, he is indeed coming for us. There should be someone outflanking us in the west."
Zheng Yuanli sneered: "The whereabouts of the two of us are kept secret, almost no one knows."
Princess Anfu nodded slowly: "That's what I know from Da Kun. I guessed Da Kun's Imperial Master's itinerary, and then calculated the time when my father will discuss it, and I can make a rough guess."
"Is it Da Kun?" Zheng Yuanli snorted.
Princess Anfu said: "Whoever benefits, that's who!"
"... Daning!" Zheng Yuanli said slowly, his face as dark as water.
Dayu is located in the north, Shuo is in the west, Kun is in the east, and Daning is in the south. Dayu and Daning are not connected in the middle. They are separated by Dashuo and Dakun. However, Daning and Dakun have always been at odds. Once Da Kun and Dayu go to war, Daning will benefit the most.
As the prince, he has been focusing on state affairs for a while, and he knows the relationship between the four countries very well, and he can immediately deduce that he is from Daning.
"They are so brave!" Zheng Yuanli said solemnly.
Princess Anfu said: "If the benefits are big enough, then the courage is big enough. Killing Sixth Brother and putting the blame on Da Kun will be very beneficial to Daning. How can you resist this temptation?"
"Little sister, what should we do?" Zheng Yuanli asked.
His heart was heavy.
Since Daning has decided to take action, it must be foolproof. Now that it is too late to mobilize troops for reinforcements, he can only rely on his little sister. It is said that her martial arts skills are amazing, but no matter how amazing she is, she is powerless in the face of the army's ambush.
Princess Anfu said: "We can only escape and go west!"
"There is also an ambush in the west." Zheng Yuanli said.
"Let's go first," Princess Anfu said.
"Little sister, are you sure?" Zheng Yuanli stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Can we escape? If not, write a suicide note for my brother and then commit suicide to avoid falling into their hands!"
Of course he was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid that he would be captured alive by Daning and used to threaten Dayu. Then he would die without redemption and would not have the face to face his ancestors.
Princess Anfu said: "Sixth brother, don't worry, there will be a way, you have to adapt to changes!"
"Okay, I'll trust you once." Zheng Yuanli nodded helplessly.
In such a desperate situation, there is no point in talking and he can only try his luck. If it is not possible, it is not too late to die. He is also afraid of death, especially if he is destined to ascend to the throne. He is really unwilling to die if the emperor does nothing.
Princess Anfu turned her horse to the west and walked quickly along another road. When she was ten miles away, she suddenly stopped.
"We met again?" Zheng Yuanli asked.
Princess Anfu nodded slowly.
She suddenly looked up at the sky.
The sky is clear and clear, cloudless.
Zheng Yuanli looked up and saw only two small black dots. It was impossible to tell whether they were present or not.
Princess Anfu could clearly see that these were two goshawks circling in the sky, with four sharp eyes focused on her.
She seemed to be facing four eyes, and their unruly eyes seemed to pierce into her heart.
Princess Anfu hummed: "It turns out it's these two beasts!"
"What beast?" Zheng Yuanli asked.
Princess Anfu said: "There are two eagles in the sky watching us, so they can know our location and surround us."
"It's so high, there's nothing we can do about it." Zheng Yuanli frowned.
Princess Anfu smiled and said: "This is simple, abandon the horse and go into the woods!"
Zheng Yuanli said: "It's up to you. You can do whatever you want."
He had no choice but to place his hope in Princess Anfu, and seeing that she was confident, he also became confident.
The two horses were tied to a nearby tree. Princess Anfu patted the two horses to comfort them, and then she and Zheng Yuanli got into the woods. The two goshawks in the sky suddenly circled and accelerated, but did not swoop down.
Princess Anfu held Zheng Yuanli's arm and flew through the woods like a shadow, like a fish swimming in the water. The branches and leaves in front of her were unobstructed. She quickly galloped for more than ten miles and saw a group of people wearing black clothes and black horses. .
Zheng Yuanli's eyes widened and his breath suddenly became tight.
He saw these men in black holding powerful crossbows, keeping a distance, walking forward quickly, taking long strides, but still keeping a distance from each other.
He was desperate. There was no way the two of them could escape their siege silently. Once the powerful crossbows were fired, no matter how strong their martial arts were, it would be useless.
Princess Anfu turned around and walked away, heading east. Before she had gone a mile, she ran into the men in black again. They had already tightened the siege to about a mile, and they were still closing in quickly.
Princess Anfu shook her head, turned left again, looked up at the sky, and saw two goshawks still circling.
Zheng Yuanli whispered: "Little sister, you go first!"
"Don't worry, you can escape." Princess Anfu whispered.
