Of course, just in case, Zhou Ying bought all the alcohol and oil in the inn and loaded them into her carriage.
The group traveled smoothly for quite some time until they passed by the place where Zhou Ying and the others were ambushed last time.
Zhou Ying noticed hundreds of men in black hiding on the other side of the mountain, and the scouts sent by Zhang Ping were also eliminated.
There were only about 80 people in their group. The assassins would not lose even if they fought head-on, let alone ambushing them. Zhou Ying quickly informed Gu Chengrui of this.
Gu Chengrui peeked out and saw Zhang Ping and the others at the front were about to enter an ambush.
โGeneral Zhang, wait a moment.โ
After shouting, he immediately got off the carriage and ran over.
Zhang Ping heard his shout and immediately raised his hand to stop everyone. When he came over, he asked, โWhat happened, Lord Gu?โ
โDonโt you think itโs too quiet here?โ Gu Chengrui asked.
Zhang Ping asked in surprise, โAre you saying there might be an ambush?โ
โItโs best to be careful. Didnโt you send out a scout who hasnโt returned yet? Letโs wait for a while. Safety first.โ
Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, but he finally nodded after considering the safety of His Highness. He then went to report to King Rui personally.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, Zhang Ping began to feel uneasy. The scout had gone for a long time and should have returned.
They waited another 15 minutes, but there was still no sign of his return. Zhang Ping finally confirmed that there was an ambush ahead.
At this time, Zhou Huaiming had also rushed over with 20 people.
After learning that there was an ambush ahead, he said solemnly, โYour highness, you must return. Leave this place to us.โ
โIโm not going back. If I head back, itโll be difficult to reenter the capital again. ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐ถ
โIf I donโt return, the princess consort and the others will be in danger.โ King Rui shook his head.
He knew very well that, after the exposure of the crimes of the First Prince and the Fourth Price, the situation inside the capital was dire, even though it seemed calm on the surface.
Otherwise, Seventh Su would not have attempted assassination on Gu Chengrui and his wife. He even tried wiping out the forces King Rui left in the capital, including the two consorts.
If he couldnโt return this time, the First and Fourth Princes would join forces to kill him.
Even if he could survive, he would suffer heavy losses. This was not what he wanted to see.
โIf you trust me, pick a few people with strong arms. I have my ways.โ Gu Chengrui spoke up.
โWhat is it?โ Zhang Ping quickly turned his head and asked.
โYou should still remember the oil lamp we threw back then, right? When we left the inn, my wife bought all the alcohol and oil there.โ
โBut how do we lure them out?โ
โGather all the horses and run over quickly.โ
โItโs feasible. Letโs do it.โ King Rui nodded in agreement.
โThatโs right. When they hear the sound of thundering hooves, they will act.
โEven if we fail, theyโll come out after knowing weโve discovered them. Otherwise, they wonโt have the chance to make a move at dawn.โ Zhou Huaiming nodded in agreement.
Zhang Ping nodded and started to execute the plan.
What they didnโt expect was that there was a trip rope on the way. Fortunately, there was no one on the horse that fell.
At the same time, when everyone stopped to check the horse that fell, Zhou Ying used her spiritual senses to strangle two assassins on sentry duty at the top of the mountain.
Therefore, when the horses continued their march, the assassins did not receive a heads-up from the sentries and immediately ran out to intercept the horses..
