Chapter 389 Ambush

Su Zhao looked at him, not knowing what to say about him.

If it is said that killing Ruan's mother and son was forced by the other party in order to save their lives, she can still understand it. Right now, she doesn't want to think about it anymore.

She didn't know if it was because she followed An Taiping that her perception of him had changed, and she was about to say something.

But in the end, I couldn't help asking, "Have you considered Liu'er's feelings? Do you want to force her to marry?"

Shao Pingbo said calmly: "If she doesn't want to do this kind of thing, I won't force her."

"Really?" Su Zhao obviously didn't believe it.

Shao Pingbo nodded, unwilling to say more about this, and changed the topic, "You only need to know what I said today, and don't let your superiors know."

Su Zhao: "What are you worried about?"

Shao Pingbo: "Xiaoyue Pavilion's collusion with the King of the West Court means that Xiaoyue Pavilion has already intervened in the internal affairs of the Qi royal family. I don't want Haozhen to have any conflicts with Xiaoyue Pavilion's plan."

Su Zhao: "You asked us to assassinate Mrs. Haozhen and marry my younger sister to Haozhen. I'm afraid it's hard to think about it here. The higher-ups will definitely ask me later."

Shao Pingbo: "There are sufficient reasons to hide it. I need this marriage to put pressure on Yan and Han. If you say that, they will definitely understand. Sister Zhao, I don't believe in Xiaoyue Pavilion, but I trust you. You have nothing to hide." Then he suddenly got up, and slowly approached her, the two looked at each other high and low.

Su Zhao was used to this before, but now she felt a little uncomfortable, subconsciously wanted to back away, but Shao Pingbo reached out and held her hand.

Su Zhao was a little flustered and wanted to pull her hands away, but then she thought of the explanation above. An Taiping's matter was said separately, but she was not allowed to mess up with Beizhou's matter. At least on the surface, she had to maintain her relationship with Shao Pingbo.

After what happened with An Taiping, she could see it, and the higher-ups should have seen it a long time ago. Even if Shao Pingbo succeeded in the end, he might not marry her, but the higher-ups kept turning a blind eye to this matter.

And Shao Pingbo should have known that Xiaoyue Pavilion wanted to use him.

Both sides have their own ghosts, and she is just a pawn in the middle.

There are many things that I couldn't see when I fell in love with Shao Pingbo before, or I didn't want to wake up from the dream, but now many things are clear.

After being with An Taiping, she actually wanted to get away, but she couldn't help her anymore. If she dared to act recklessly, the higher ups would not let An Taiping go, and An Taiping would not be able to get through the hurdle just relying on the antidote of the Kushen Pill.

She was hesitating, but Shao Pingbo made an inch of it, opened his arms, and hugged her into his arms.

As if bitten by a snake, Su Zhao pushed him away and quickly took a few steps back.

"..." Shao Pingbo was stunned. In the past, she was willing to take the initiative to hug him, but he declined, but today it seems to be reversed.

Su Zhao also realized something, and said embarrassingly: "Pingbo, this place is not suitable."

"It's okay if you think too much." Shao Pingbo stepped forward again, trying to hug her again.

Su Zhao turned sideways, dodged him, walked around behind a table, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ping Bo, this is a brothel."

Shao Pingbo stared at her for a while, then smiled, without any further force, and let it go.

It's not good for him to stay here all the time. After a while of discussion, the two sides left.

After getting out of the white clouds, as soon as he got into the carriage and tore off the mask on his face, his expression sank slightly.

In the past, Su Zhao always wanted to be 'together' with him, and he had some reservations. After this incident with the war horse, he noticed that Su Zhao was abnormal. When he came this time, he hoped to have a 'good thing' with Su Zhao. Yes, in order to continue to tie up Su Zhao, but Su Zhao changed and became repulsive to him.

Compared with before, this is very abnormal.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Shao Sanxing tried to ask: "Eldest Young Master, what's the matter?"

Shao Pingbo raised his hand to stroke his hair, and asked, "My hair has turned white, is it ugly?"

"..." Shao Sansheng was speechless, when did the eldest son become so superficial? After recovering from his senses, he hurriedly replied: "Young master's demeanor can only be affected by a mere white hair, a little white hair adds to the elegance, why is it so ugly?"

Shao Pingbo was silent for a while, and then said: "You turn around and let the people of Dachan Mountain investigate a person, a tall and strong man with a red face."

Shao Sansheng was suspicious, "The red-faced man? Eldest son, this area is a bit big, and this is not our territory. Are there any other clues?"

Shao Pingbo: "That's all I know about a red-faced guy who can go in and out of Baiyunjian's backyard. However, I guess he won't just go this time, and he can send someone to guard him."

"Okay." Shao Sansheng nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

However, he still has doubts in his heart. Combined with Shao Pingbo's question about his hair just now, he has vague doubts...

In the palace, on the dragon boat on the blue lake, Hao Yuntu is leaning on the railing Lingfeng.

Bu Xun Lingbo flew over, landed on the deck, quickly went upstairs, came to Hao Yuntu's side to salute, stepped forward, and reported: "Shao Pingbo sneaked to Baiyunjian."

Hao Yuntu's gaze was a bit treacherous, and he sneered, "It seems that the assassination of my daughter-in-law may have something to do with Xiaoyue Pavilion."

Bu Xun: "Then the King of England is married?"

Hao Yuntu raised his hand slightly, "If the new daughter-in-law is not satisfactory, you can change it again. Is the dignified prince afraid that he won't be able to marry a wife? Beizhou can't be chaotic. Beizhou needs this marriage. Living in Beizhou has different priorities, and we will talk about future things in the future..."

Tofu restaurant, inner courtyard, Yuan Gang was hanging upside down in the courtyard with his bare upper body, and two brothers were beating with steel rods.

Yuan Feng quickly entered the inner courtyard, waved to the two brothers, and signaled them to retreat.

Yuan Gang, whose feet were hooked upside down on the iron bar, curled up his legs, hoisted the whole person up, turned over in the air, and landed on both feet.

The two entered and stood in front of the map, and Yuan Feng pointed to a place, "After I came out of Baiyunjian, I went to a courtyard in Xicheng, which is not too far from the imperial palace. here."

"Let the brothers keep an eye on the intersections of the streets, so that there are no abnormalities and no exposure." Yuan Gang stared at the map and said.

After he left Baiyunjian, he didn't go back to the tofu restaurant by boat, but got off the boat halfway, pretending to inquire about the sale of tofu stalls on the street, and secretly issued a follow-up task.

Although he doesn't have many people, he has formed a net in the streets of the capital, and it is still useful to keep an eye on someone...

A few days later in the early morning, Yuan Feng hurried back to the backyard of the tofu restaurant again, and stood in front of the map with Yuan Gang again.

"The target has set off. He left the East City Gate in a carriage. It seems that he is taking the official route. Brothers have been sent to change their outfits to follow them." Yuan Feng pointed to the map and said.

Yuan Gang: "Take the official route? This person is cunning, are you sure the target has really left?"

Yuan Feng nodded: "Confirmed, it was verified by someone who pretended to deliver food to the door, the yard was empty, only the servants sent by the landlord were cleaning, and those servants also said that they had just checked out and left, and saw a white house with their own eyes. The boy with the hair got into the car."

Yuan Gang stared at the map, swiped his finger along the route, and finally stopped in a forest area, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately notify those who have not set up a stall to gather!"

"Yes!" Yuan Feng quickly ran out.

Soon, a group of people from the morning exercise at the tofu restaurant came back one after another.

When the staff arrived, Yuan Gang had already prepared a bunch of packages of the same size, and the things were distributed, and a group of people left quickly.

Outside the courtyard, Yuan Dahu and Gu Younian stopped Yuan Gang, and Yuan Dahu asked with a smile, "Master, are you going out of town for riding training today?"

"En!" Yuan Gang responded.

The two were about to go together, but Yuan Gang added, "You don't have to go today."

Seeing Yuan Gang striding away, the two old men were stunned, you look at me, I look at you.

And Yuan Gang did not hide it, leading hundreds of people all the way to the outside of the city, passers-by seemed to be no strangers to it.

The party left the city, found a horse farm that often rented horses for training, rented hundreds of horses, and galloped all the way.

After running to the depths of the grassland, the packages of hundreds of people were concentrated on fifty people, and the rest were led by Yuan Huo and Niu Shan to continue training to deceive others, while Yuan Gang took fifty people with packages on their backs. People gallop all the way.

On the way, he found a racecourse all the way, but Yuan Gang still didn't make any concealment, and openly changed horses under the banner of Huyan's family.

After half a day, he caught up with his brother who had been replaced and changed his face again on the official road.

"Do people still follow the official path?" Yuan Gang asked.

The brother replied: "Yes, it is not far ahead, and Dayong is still following. If it weren't for the official way, people come and go normally, we really dare not continue."

"You continue with yours." After Yuan Gang gave a voice, he quickly showed the map, found his position, checked the route, and quickly put the map away, and said to everyone: "The other party has a carriage and can't run fast. Let's take a closer look." The road is ahead, let's go!" Turning the mount, he rushed down the official road first.

Dozens of riders followed immediately...

In the evening, in the forested area, an old man rode alone into the official road in the forest, "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmits" birdsong, look left and right.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The old man stopped his mount quickly, found a gentle slope and rushed up, ran to the depths of the mountain, tied the horse and ran back.

When I ran to the forest by the roadside and looked around, a clump of grass moved, and the clump of grass turned over. Yuan Gang, with grass on his head and mud on his face, appeared and asked, "How long is it?"

The old man is none other than Dayong, and Dayong replied: "At most there is half a stick of incense left."

Yuan Gang tilted his head to signal, "Get ready!"

Dayong quickly straightened the grass on the ground and backed away. Someone called from behind. He looked back and threw out a tinkling package out of nowhere.

As soon as he took it, he retreated quickly and retreated into the mountain depression. He opened the cloth bag, and there was a pile of scattered things. He quickly put together the pile of scattered things, and he quickly assembled them into a set. Nine Zilian Crossbow, and then quickly disguised himself.

As he said, about half a stick of incense, dozens of riders guarding two carriages broke into the mountain from the official road.

Seeing the group approaching, Yuan Gang, who was prostrate on the ground, suddenly pulled hard on the buried rope.

boom!

There was a loud bang, the flames erupted, the mountains shook and the ground shook, and the ground on the official road exploded into the sky, directly tearing apart the two carriages connecting the front and back, and instantly turned people on their backs.

When the mud and rocks flew around, the ambushing people on both sides of the forest listened to the sound, and one by one the straw figures jumped out, holding the nine-piece crossbow in their hands, whizzing and shooting, attacking from both sides, and shooting directly at anyone they saw.
