Chapter 987
"Something is happening."
Li Taihang hurried down from the tree and came to Xue Yue's side.
Xue Yue just came back from a night piss and was startled by the sudden appearance of Li Taihang.
"Sir, you, why did you suddenly appear?"
He didn't feel Li Taihang approaching at all.
Li Taihang whispered to him: "Something is happening. Some people are approaching us ten miles away."
"Ten miles?" Xue Yue's eyes widened. He didn't expect Li Taihang to know the situation ten miles away.
"Then, are there many people? What should we do?"
"Hundreds of people, and the leader is still Wu Zong."
"Wu Zong?"
Xue Yue's eyes widened.
"Okay, I will get rid of them. Now I hope they are not coming for us." Li Taihang said soothingly.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"No need." Li Taihang asked Xue Yue to make arrangements so that everyone could hide in a safe place.
Xue Yue nodded in agreement after hearing this. He quickly called the guards to inform Lin Shitong.
After Lin Shitong learned about this, he immediately ordered people to surround the carriage as a temporary defense.
Others hid behind the carriage to avoid being discovered.
"Mrs. Zhang."
The girl was not sleeping soundly, and she was awakened by the noise outside.
She saw that the sky outside was still dark, and she was a little uneasy, so she called out.
Mrs. Zhang hurried in: "Princess, it seems that something is wrong. Boss Xue asked us to pay attention to safety."
"Okay, you should pay more attention to safety."
"Please rest assured, Princess."
"Well, you should also prepare."
"Okay."
Mrs. Zhang quickly got off the carriage and moved the carriage inside in coordination with the arrangements of Lin Shitong and others. The other carriages formed a circle with it as the center.
Li Taihang saw them start to move, and he and Xue Yue stood in the direction where those people came from.
"They are almost here. Let's go back to the carriage and see what's going on."
"Okay."
Then, they followed Li Taihang's request and everyone hid inside.
Soon after, they saw a group of people coming towards them.
When these people saw the carriage in the distance, they were a little surprised.
"It seems that they are going to defend to the death?" Liu Ba sneered.
He was the leader responsible for the assassination this time.
"Boss, Xue Yue's caravan is ahead. According to our intelligence, the princess is in the caravan."
"They are acting like they are defending to the death."
"Yes."
"Haha, it's a pity that it's useless."
Originally, they planned to wait for their arrival at Jinji Ridge and then blame the bandits.
As a result, they didn't come.
Liu Ba was worried about accidents, and the people above were urging him, so he had no choice but to send people to investigate.
After some investigation, he found that Xue Yue's caravan did not continue to move forward, but spent the night on the plain.
So, they planned to launch a surprise attack here in the early morning.
"Boss, when I was investigating, they hadn't circled like this. Why are they now like this?"
"Haha, isn't that good? They are all trapped in a jar."
When they heard him say that, their eyes lit up.
"Boss, you are still smart."
"Okay, stop flattering and act quickly." Although Liu Ba felt very happy when he was flattered, he still pretended to be very serious.
"Yes, boss." The man laughed.
Then, these men in black rushed towards the carriage.
The people in the inner circle of the carriage found that those people were indeed coming towards them.
Lin Shitong said coldly: "Get ready."
The dozen guards behind him immediately took out their bows and arrows and were ready.
"Shoot!"
When the other party approached, he suddenly appeared and shot arrows in the direction of the other party.
"Swish, swish, swish."
"Ah!"
The men in black were caught off guard by the archers who suddenly appeared, and seven or eight of them were killed or injured on the spot.
Liu Ba was furious.
"It seems that they know we are coming. Brothers, kill them all, leaving no one behind."
At this time, Li Taihang said, "You tell your men not to go out, I will stop them myself."
"Oh, okay." Xue Yue nodded.
Li Taihang couldn't let him pay 50 taels a day for nothing.
Li Taihang jumped out and landed in front of the men in black.
Liu Ba was slightly stunned when he saw a young man suddenly appear in front of him.
The young man held a long sword, and the cold light flashed in the moonlight.
Li Taihang pointed his sword at them and said, "Get out, or die."
Liu Ba's mouth twitched.
"Who do you think you are?" Liu Ba rushedGo up, swing the sword at Li Taihang and cut.
"Dragon Sword Dance."
However, Li Taihang flashed by and returned to his original position.
He put away his sword and returned to the caravan.
The people in the caravan saw his figure disappear, and then bursts of cold light flashed among the black-clothed men.
Then, they saw Li Taihang return to his original position, put away his sword and walked towards them.
They were all very surprised.
"Is it over?"
"Why don't those people move?"
The most arrogant Liu Ba also stood still in the same place.
A gust of wind blew.
"Puff."
Suddenly, all the black-clothed men fell down.
Li Taihang said to Xue Yue: "The crisis is over, you can deal with the rest by yourselves."
Then, Li Taihang jumped up, landed on the tree, hugged his head and continued to take a nap.
But Xue Yue and his people were stunned.
"Um, is it over?"
"Did you see that? All the men in black have fallen. It should be over."
"Then, shall we go and have a look?"
At this time, Xue Yue remembered what Li Taihang said and immediately ordered: "Lin Shitong, take a few guards to have a look."
"Yes, boss."
Lin Shitong immediately took a few guards, got out of the carriage, and went to check.
As a result, they found that those people were indeed dead, and each of them was killed by a sword.
"One strike kills."
"More than that, it should be said that one strike killed them all."
"So strong!"
The guards brought by Lin Shitong were very surprised when they saw the corpses all over the ground.
They quickly checked and found that they were all dead.
Lin Shitong called a guard: "Go and tell the boss about the situation here."
"Yes."
The guards immediately went to Xue Yue's side.
And Lin Shitong and the remaining guards began to search for these corpses, trying to check their identities.
When they saw Liu Ba's body, they found that this person was not simple. He was wearing black clothes on the outside, but he was wearing very expensive clothes inside.
This was obviously the leader of these black-clad people.
After a while, Xue Yue also came over. He checked these black-clad people, but he didn't recognize any of them.
However, he still paid special attention to Liu Ba's body and said, "Let Mrs. Zhang come over. Maybe she will know something."
"Okay, boss."
Lin Shitong immediately asked a guard to invite Mrs. Zhang.
"Mrs. Zhang, our boss wants you to come over."
"What's the matter?"
"We can't find out the details of those black-clad people. The boss wants you to go and see for yourself."
Mrs. Zhang usually doesn't leave the girl too far, but this time it's different. She glanced at the tree not far away and saw Li Taihang there.
She guessed that there would be no problem here, so she went in and said, "Princess, I'll go and see first."
"Okay, go." The girl also heard the voice of the guard.
"Okay."
Then, Mrs. Zhang followed the guards and went outside.
When she saw Liu Ba's face, she was shocked and said, "It's the head of the Wu guard."
"He's the head of the Wu guard?"
"Yes, he's the subordinate of the third prince!"
"That means the third prince wants to attack her?"
"That's right."
Xue Yue frowned. The third prince was not easy to mess with. However, he had already offended him this time, and it was impossible to regret it.
"What should we do now?" Xue Yue asked worriedly.
"This matter is a bit difficult to handle. With the character of the third prince, he will definitely fight to the death." Mrs. Zhang had a headache.
Originally, they could accept some bandits, but now even the guards of the palace have come out, what's the matter?
Doesn't this mean that they will also suffer more revenge?
"It seems that all hope can only be placed on Lord Li." Xue Yue said with a wry smile.
Given the situation tonight, if Li Taihang hadn't taken action, they would have died here.
Mrs. Zhang thought about it, nodded, and felt that it made sense.
"In that case, we have to treat Mr. Li well."
"That's right."
Since it concerns the lives of all of them, both Xue Yue and Mrs. Zhang decided to thank Li Taihang generously.
So, they discussed it and decided to reward Li Taihang.
"Well, Mrs. Zhang, you go back and talk to that person first to see what reward you can get."
"And I'll prepare it here."
Xue Yue thought about it and told her the plan.
"Okay."
Mrs. Zhang also attached great importance to this matter, so she nodded and agreed.
Then, they ignored the corpses,Instead, they all returned.
After experiencing this, everyone was not in the mood to rest.
On the contrary, they were still talking about what had just happened, and many people even looked at Li Taihang on the tree from time to time.
Li Taihang didn't care.
After a while, Xue Yue and Zhang Pozi each prepared a thank-you gift and came under the tree.
"Mr. Li." Xue Yue smiled and called Li Taihang on the tree softly.
Li Taihang opened his eyes and looked down: "Boss Xue, and Mrs. Zhang, what are you doing?"
He saw that they were still carrying things.
Li Taihang was a little surprised to see this scene.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, thank you for saving everyone tonight. These are some small gifts we prepared. I hope you can accept them."
Mrs. Zhang also spoke at this time.
Li Taihang glanced at the things they brought, frowned, and said, "There are too many things, and it's not convenient for me to carry them."
"It's okay, I have silver bills here." Xue Yue smiled and took out some silver bills.
