C29 Ambush

Shen Gang stood at the side and hesitantly said, "Lord Head, it's just capturing a few criminals. If everyone were to go, wouldn't there be too many of them?"

Yan Zhongshan sneered, "Do you think Mu Qianxue is that easy to capture? If it's like this, then I wouldn't have let her escape. This woman is cunning and cunning like a fox, whoever underestimates her will be at a disadvantage. Just this thousand plus people, I don't think I have enough."

Hearing his words, Shen Gang did not say anything more. He gathered a thousand soldiers and followed Yan Zhongshan to Qu Lianshan.

"Lord Head, look. It's just up ahead." Xu Dajiang pointed to a lush and verdant mountain forest in front as he spoke.

Yan Chong Shan sized up the group and said coldly, "She is quite smart. She knows that the forest is dense, and it is not easy to find."

Xu Dajiang tried to curry favor as he ran. "It's a pity that even the most cunning fox cannot escape the palm of a hunter."

"Same good luck, there won't be a second time." Only one villager was waiting there, and upon seeing such a large formation of people, he was scared speechless. It was only when Xu Dajiang asked a few times that he finally came back to his senses and pointed at Qu Lianshan, saying, "They escaped into the mountain from this road, and Erhu and the others followed them into the mountain. The most important part of the mountain is the Blue Ear, they will abandon the mountain and follow the Blue Ear, as long as we follow it, we will be able to catch up with them."

The Green Ear was a small tree that grew on a mountain. The fruit had barbs on it, and anyone who passed it would be caught by the barbs on their clothes to spread the poison. This fruit had the ability to treat cold headaches, rheumatism, and pain, but it also had a small poison.

Qu Lianshan was not very tall, only around a hundred feet high. Furthermore, the terrain was flat and it would not be too strenuous to climb.

Xu Dajiang followed the blue ear fruit that had been thrown down all the way to the mountainside. It was a large flat area, with a large area of thick trees, thick leaves covering the sky, making the place look dark and gloomy. In the distance, there was a large bamboo forest with slender bamboo leaves swaying in the wind; it seemed that someone had cut down the bamboo forest in this period, leaving only the roots of many bamboos exposed.

Blue Ear pointed in the direction of the forest. After walking for about half an incense stick of time, they met two villagers who were hiding behind trees and watching them.

Xu Dajiang walked up to him softly and asked, "Where is he?"

One of them pointed to the front and said, "Village Head, look. We're just sitting there. We don't dare to get too close." As he spoke, he found it hard to hide his amazement. "That woman is so beautiful, just like a celestial fairy. If I had a woman like her as my wife, I would be happy to live less than 20 years." The person beside him nodded his head vigorously, obviously agreeing with his words.

"Stop dreaming." Xu Dajiang reprimanded her as he opened his eyes to look around. When he saw her, his face was filled with suspicion. This man was the same one he had seen before, but this woman ? It was so different. It was obvious that they were not the same person. How strange.

"Head ?"

"Shut up!" Yan Zhongshan raised a hand to interrupt him. When Xu Dajiang went over to ask around, he had already discovered the location of Mu Qianxue and Dongfang Qing. Right now, his mind was completely focused on capturing Mu Qianxue.

"Shen Qianhu, lead your men and surround this area to prevent them from escaping. Be careful, don't alert them, use the cuckoo as the signal."

Shen Gang nodded his head and waved his hand, bringing the 500 men with him as he left. These men were all elite soldiers, although hundreds of them moved together, they did not make any noise and even the sound of their footsteps was so faint that it could be ignored. The two people in the depths of the forest did not notice it at all.

After about half an incense's time, a "Pu Gu!" came from the other side of the forest. "Bu Gu!" Yan Chongshan knew that Shen Gang had already formed a encirclement and could make his move at any time.

After ordering Xu Dajiang and the others to leave, Yan Zhongshan gripped the steel saber at his waist and led the group of Heavenly Secrets to Mu Qianxue's location in large strides.

This time, undisguised footsteps quickly alarmed the two people in the forest. When the rays of sunlight fell onto Yan Zhongshan's face, Mu Qianxue turned pale with fright, as she hurriedly supported herself up with the tree trunk, "You ? Why are you here? "

"Of course it's to see the empress!" Yan Chongshan said with a fake smile, "It's been almost a month, how's the empress doing? This subject has been looking for trouble! "

Mu Qianxue's face was deathly white as she stared at him. She said in a stern voice, "Yan Zhongshan, do you really want to kill all of us?"

Yan Zhongshan approached his slowly and said, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Ever since the Empress left, your Majesty has been worried. I am being reminded that you must bring the Empress back, and I dare not disobey!"

"I dare not disobey." Mu Qianxue did her best to suppress the fear in her heart as she gritted her teeth and said, "Even though Xiao Ruo Ao recruited you back then, I was the one who actually chose you as the head of the Heavenly Mystery Realm's guard. You are well aware of this; on account of our old friendship, can you let me go? In the future, I will definitely repay this favor. "

"This subject shall be forever grateful for the Empress's choice, but unfortunately, it is impossible to disobey the sovereign's orders." Yan Zhongshan stopped tens of steps away from Mu Qianxue and said, "Empress, please do not make things difficult for this subject."

"In that case, is there no discussion?" Mu Qianxue stared at Yan Zhongshan's stopping feet and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yan Chongshan laughed out loud, "I've heard that esteemed wangfei is extremely intelligent and astute, so why did you become so confused about this matter? If I don't bring you back today, the person who died would be this official!"

"Ying Tian City has already allowed you to escape once. This time ?" Don't even think about going anywhere! " After saying this, the fake smile on Yan Chongshan's face disappeared. With a wave of his hand, countless soldiers surged over from all directions, surrounding Mu Qianxue and Luo Li.

Mu Qianxue looked around and asked in a cold voice, "Were you lying in ambush?"

"Without absolute confidence, how could I dare to show myself?" Yan Chongshan said complacently, "Alright, let's end the idle chat here. If your subject counts to three, surrender yourselves. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"One."

"Two."

Amidst this tense and suffocating atmosphere, Mu Qianxue suddenly said, "Yan Zhongshan, do you think you can capture me with just a few people like me?"

"Of course." Yan Chongshan said with confidence, "Could it be that you guys can fly out with wings?"

Mu Qianxue raised her head and looked at the densely packed leaves that covered the sky. A wisp of a smile gracefully seeped out of her lips, "Mortal ?" Always so ignorant! "

Yan Chongshan heard that something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint the specific point, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qianxue's long eyelashes moved, and her indifferent and cold gaze landed on Yan Zhongshan. "I said you're very ignorant, did you hear me clearly?"

The muscles on Yan Chongshan's cheeks twitched, as hatred condensed in his eyes. In all these years, this was the first time someone had said that he was ignorant in front of everyone, and even Xiao Ruo Ao had never said such a thing.
