The mountain road was rugged, and although they were mentally prepared, it was still more difficult than they had imagined. Fortunately, this is the only way to Yunzhou City, and it has been renovated by the government. Although it is rugged, it is still relatively flat, and horse-drawn carriages are not restricted on the mountain road.
So the fastest speed mentioned by Xiang Yunjin was actually not that fast. Gulan, who was on the road, couldn't help but glare at the guy sitting next to her. She was misled by this guy.
Xiang Yunjin looked at Gulan innocently. He was right that they were indeed traveling at the fastest speed at that time.
We walked for two days, and there were still endless mountains in front of us, which made us very anxious. Although it was urgent, the past two days were peaceful and nothing bad happened. But they did encounter some big guys, who were killed by Gulan and Xiang Yunjin. The men of Lijia Village didn't even have time to take action. They were a group of blind wolves.
At the same time, Gulan also found a big black bear halfway up the mountain, but this guy seemed to be full and had no interest in them, so he did not attack, thus saving the bear's life. But it's a pity for Gulan. She had only heard of bear paws but had never tried them.
When they encountered the wolf pack, everyone had not yet reacted. They only saw two afterimages passing through the wolf pack, followed by corpses all over the ground. The dozen or so wolves that had luckily escaped were so scared that they desperately fled up the mountain, and they estimated that they would not come down the mountain for some time.
In fact, they don't often go down the mountain. This time they just wanted to migrate to the mountain across the road. They happened to meet a caravan. With the spirit of not missing the prey that was offered to them, they launched an attack. Unexpectedly, they lost their lives. All the dead wolves were taken away without a single one left behind. The wolf meat went to the villagers, and the wolf skin was kept by Gulan. That night, the villagers, who had not eaten meat for a long time, had a good meal again.
The convoy continued to drive steadily on the mountain road. When the road section was good, the speed would be faster, otherwise it would be slower. Today is the third day, and judging by the situation, we probably won't be able to get out of the mountains.
Xiang Yunjin, who had been sitting next to Gulan, looked very serious all the way into Qingyun Ridge. His face was tense and he never relaxed. According to common sense, this is the last chance to stop him, and the chance of something going wrong is indeed very high. But his younger brother has always been cautious, so he couldn't be sure whether he would send people to search for an ambush here. After all, the more people sent out, the easier it is to reveal flaws. Without the confidence to completely solve the problem, my younger brother will not allow himself to be caught.
Xiang Yunjin was right, but as for not wanting to be caught, Xiang Yunqi didn't want his brother to come back even more. Xiang Yunqi could no longer sit still when there was no news for a long time. He also realized that Yixianlou was probably just a name in vain, as even the top masters themselves had come out but there was no news at all. So a few days before Xiang Yunjin set foot in Qingyun Ridge, he sent his confidants to hire some martial arts masters to rush to Qingyun Ridge, pretending to be bandits and ambush at the exit, and would not let anyone who came in go.
But their luck was not good. For several days, no team came out of the mountain. If the price hadn't been so high, this group of gangsters would have left long ago. Just now I saw a group of people entering Qingyun Ridge. They don't care about those who go in, they only care about those who come out. Only a masked man hiding at the back squinted his eyes and looked at the group's departing backs with a suspicious look on his face. The leader looked very much like Liu Lin who was beside the prince, but his speed was too fast and they were some distance away, so he was not sure. If so, why would he appear here? Could it be...
If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to intercept the prince next time. Thinking of this, the masked man's face became solemn.
A few hours later, Xiang Yunjin also saw this group of people. He recognized at a glance that the leader was his right-hand man Liu Lin. Unfortunately, Liu Lin just took a look at his current outfit and rode past without even slowing down. He glanced at Xiang Yunjin indifferently, but was not in a hurry. Wang Yun would keep them anyway.
As he thought, after a moment this group of people were discovered and stopped by Wang Yun who was falling behind. He glanced with disdain at Liu Lin who had just dismounted. This guy was too slow. It took him such a long time to deliver the message, but he only appeared here now.
"Where is the prince?" Liu Lin asked impatiently when he didn't see the prince in the crowd. "The prince is fine, but you are really slow." Wang Yun couldn't help but confront Liu Lin.
"It's really not my fault. I received the letter and reported the attack on the prince. Then I rushed here overnight without stopping." Liu Lin was relieved to hear that the prince was fine. How could he bear it when he was criticized? He also rolled his eyes at Wang Yun.
"You just received the letter?" Wang Yun looked at Liu Lin in surprise.
"Yes, I received it yesterday."
"That shouldn't be the case! The brother who delivered the letter should have arrived long ago."
"If he hadn't been injured, he should have arrived earlier. He was just unlucky and was discovered by the killer. Although he escaped by chance, he was seriously injured. He almost died when he delivered the letter."
So that's how it is. No wonder Liu Lin came so late.
In fact, there was no other way but to choose this method to send the letter. If the message was transmitted through post stations in various places, the speed would be fine, but I was afraid that the message would not be delivered to Liu Lin at all, and instead attract more killers.
As for carrier pigeons, they did bring a few with them, but unfortunately none of them escaped during the assassination and were killed by the assassins in order to cut off their way of transmitting messages. It's a little slow, but it's not too late.
"I misunderstood Brother Liu." Since he knew that this guy didn't mean it, Wang Yun admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.
"You don't even call Liu Lin now?" Liu Lin rolled his eyes at him again, as if he didn't worry about the safety of the prince.
Even though he was rolled his eyes, Wang Yun didn't get angry and just laughed.
"You said the prince is fine, but where is the prince?" Liu Lin took a look around and saw that they were all familiar faces. The prince was so handsome that it was impossible for him to hide among them.
"The prince is in front."
"Front?" There was a convoy when he passed by before, could it be... "You mean the prince is in the convoy ahead."
Wang Yun nodded.
"I'm going to find the prince." Knowing the prince's whereabouts, Liu Lin couldn't help it. He turned over and was about to mount the horse, but was stopped by Wang Yun.
"Why are you pulling me?" Liu Lin glared at Wang Yun.
"If you want to be punished by the prince, then go." As he spoke, Wang Yun let go of his hand.
"You mean the prince doesn't allow anyone to get close to him?"
"What do you think? If you let me, I can still follow you." This time it was Wang Yun's turn to glare.
"But is the prince safe?"
"Don't worry, it's safer than staying with you and me." Wang Yun said this in a mysterious way.
"The prince is surrounded by top experts," Liu Lin responded quickly.
"Not stupid, but much better than the top masters." Wang Yun thought of the Dharma protector Wu who was killed by a punch.
He examined the body carefully when burying it. The seemingly unintentional punch from the prince's savior was so powerful that Wang Yun couldn't believe it. The bones and muscles of the upper body of the Dharma protector Wu were broken, and his lungs were shattered. The others died at the hands of this man with just one punch. His martial arts power was truly too terrifying.
