Chapter 623 - 623: Ambush (3)



Seeing this, Chu Xianglong knew that if he continued to deny it, he would only be abandoned by his friends and family, ”

“The princess Consort did come North for another purpose, but Xu Qi ‘an doesn’t need to scare her. Even you don’t know that the princess has left the capital, let alone others?

“An ambush also needs to be prepared in advance. We went north all the way and took the fastest water route. How could we have been ambushed?”

The Supreme Court judge and the others nodded, agreeing with Chu Xianglong’s words.

It was only after they set off that they discovered that there were women on the ship. Later on, they slowly realized that there was actually consort Huai among the women. Even they only found out about this after they set off. Think about it, how could they ambush the possible enemies?

There was simply no time.

“It was a false alarm, a false alarm …” The Deputy of the Supreme Court let out a breath, and his complexion improved.

Xu Qi ‘an chuckled. my Lords, please calm down. Let me finish. You can consider it after that.

He then shifted his gaze to the spread out map, pointed at a certain spot on it, and said, ‘”With the ship’s speed, we’ll be able to pass through here by tomorrow evening at the latest.”

Everyone walked to the table and looked. It was a narrow river with rapid water currents, surrounded by high mountains on both sides.

“Here, if someone really wants to lay an ambush on both sides of the river, with the current’s speed, we can’t change direction quickly, or there will be the danger of capsizing. The high mountains on both sides became obstacles for us to escape ashore. They only needed to set up an ambush in the mountains and wait for us to fall into their trap. In short, if there is an ambush along the way, it will definitely be here.”

Xu Qi ‘an’s words made everyone’s relaxed mood tense up again.

Chu Xianglong stared at the map for a while and retorted, ‘”‘The premise of all this is that the enemy is lying in ambush. And as I said just now, the enemy has no time to set up an ambush in advance.

“As long as we pass through this place, we will be able to reach the Jian province in ten days. At that time, we will be welcomed by His Highness” Army, and our mission will be complete. If we travel by land, it will take half a month.”

The two sides were at loggerheads with each other.

The judge of the Supreme Court and the others hesitated. Both sides had their reasons, but they both had their own disadvantages. It didn’t feel safe to choose either side.

Then. I’ll add fuel to the fire … Xu Qi ‘an laughed and said,

“It’s true that a long night is fraught with dreams, but there’s still room for maneuver. If we are ambushed here tomorrow, we will be completely annihilated without any chance of survival.”

The expressions of the two censors and the Deputy of the court of judicial review immediately changed.

“I agree with Lord Xu’s decision. We will change our route.” Constable Chen from the Ministry of Justice took the lead.

“I also agree with Lord Xu’s decision. Quickly make preparations and change our route tomorrow.” The judge from the court of judicial review immediately agreed.

The two censors also chose to support Xu Qi ‘an, because his words had hit the key point of the Civil officials. Compared to the more troublesome and tiring land route, the water route was more terrifying.

No one dared to gamble with their lives.

Chu Xianglong’s facial muscles twitched. He was furious. He glared at Xu Qi ‘an and said, ” Xu Qi ‘an, I want to make a bet with you. What if we don’t get ambushed in this River Basin tomorrow? ”

Xu Qi ‘an pressed his hands on the table and refused to look at her.”ln the future, you will be in charge of the diplomatic corps. But what if we encounter an ambush?”

“If you say one, I won’t say two,” said Chu Xianglong.

Xu Qi ‘an pouted and said disdainfully,”l’m saying one now, and you dare to say two?” Don’t give me that, give me something practical.’

“What do you want?”

“3000 taels of silver, and the record of the northern border guards leaving the camp. ”

“Alright,” he said.

Chu Xianglong agreed immediately, but in his heart, he thought that he could just go back on his word when the time came. Once they reached the Northern Territory, he would be the one in charge. He had soldiers and generals under his command, and he also had the North vanquishing Prince’s support.

Xu Qi ‘an sneered and said, “write down the agreement.”

“Okay, but if you lose, you have to give me 3000 taels of silver,” Chu Xianglong said.

Both parties had set up a written pledge, but they did not sign it. They had to wait for the results tomorrow.

Xu Qi ‘an turned to Yang Yan and said in a negotiating tone, “”Boss, tomorrow you will take the boatman to test how many people you can take away at most?”

“Six,” Yang Yan said after some thought.

It was obvious that the six of them couldn’t control the ship … However. Yang Yan could only take six people with him. If they were really ambushed tomorrow, the rest of the boatmen would be dead … Xu Qi ‘an was in a dilemma when he heard Yang Yan say, ‘

“Tomorrow, I can use Qi to push the sail and control the boat, so I don’t need a boatman to row. We only need a few people to helm the ship.”

With the boss’s level, it shouldn’t be. problem to steer the ship for. short time … “Alright, let’s do it.” He let out a sigh of relief.

After the change of route was decided, the officials of the three departments and the unwilling Chu Xianglong immediately went to prepare for departure and inform the guards, women, and other accompanying personnel.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t leave. He sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and analyzed, “”lf we don’t encounter an ambush tomorrow, it means that the so-called enemy doesn’t exist, or we can’t set up an ambush in time.

this way, we can also breathe a sigh of relief. If the enemy doesn’t exist, even if Chu Xianglong has the final say in the diplomatic mission, it won’t be a big problem. We’ll just bear with him for a few days.

The bet was not made on impulse. Even without the bet, Xu Qi ‘an would have asked Yang Yan to test the waters tomorrow.

“But if there’s an ambush …. Yang Yan nodded.

“Then we’ll be in trouble. Before we even reach the Northern Territory, we’ll have to take the blame for that Princess.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed and lowered his voice.

“If the situation is that bad, I have another plan. Boss, I’ll only discuss it with you …”

The next morning.

Two hundred men left yellow oil County with four horse carriages, eighteen flat carts carrying supplies, and forty horses.

As for the Imperial Army and the soldiers that Chu Xianglong had brought, they ran forward.

This group followed the official road and headed north in the pervading dust. if Yang Yan didn’t encounter any ambushes, we’ll have to change to. water route after two days of traveling by land. The land route is indeed tiring and the journey is tiresome … Xu Qi ‘an sat on the horse and muttered in his heart.

The horse he was riding on was an ordinary brown horse, far from being comparable to a young mare.

At this time, he saw the curtain of a carriage behind him open, and an ordinary face poked out, waving at him.

Xu Qi ‘an turned the horse around and slowly walked to the carriage. He smiled and said, ‘”‘Xiao Yan, what’s the matter?”

“Why do we have to change to land?” She sat in the slightly bumpy carriage.

“For the safety of your Princess.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

She thought for a moment and didn’t argue with him. Instead, she nodded seriously, agreeing with this reason.

In the evening.

The flowing Rock Beach was named as such because the current was so fast that even rocks could be washed away.

Surrounded by green mountains on both sides, the width of the river was as wide as a woman’s slender waist. The water roared and white foam splashed everywhere.

A huge three-masted sailboat slowly sailed against the current and reached the middle of the quicksand beach. Suddenly, the turbulent water surface rippled, and a thick object covered with black scales arched and sank back into the water.

After a few seconds of silence, a loud boom was heard as the huge three-masted sailboat was lifted high.

A black-scaled flood Dragon broke out of the water. Its horn was embedded in the bottom of the ship, and it was lifted into the air.

“Ka Cha ka Cha …”

Cracks instantly spread across the ship’s hull. The large official ship that could carry more than 200 people collapsed and fell into pieces.

The moment the boat was lifted, Yang Yan used his Qi to carry the six boatmen and rose into the air. The strong Qi exploded under his feet, pushing him higher and higher as he swept through the sky.

The Water Dragon plunged into the water, splashing white foam into the sky. After a while, a man in a black robe emerged from the water and stood on the water.

He had feminine features, an aquiline nose, long, narrow, and vertical pupils. The light in his eyes was cold and emotionless, and both sides of his cheeks were covered with dense scales.

The black-robed man glanced at the broken pieces of wood that had been washed away by the current and sneered. His voice was cold and gloomy as he said, “”l’ve been played.”

“They won’t be able to escape.”

A young man in white walked out of the dense forest on the shore and stood with his hands behind his back.

The white-robed man was neither angry nor disappointed by the failure of the ambush. He said calmly, “”We’ve sent out enough people this time. It’s hard to fight four hands with just one rank-4 Yang Yan. The princess is in our pocket.”

“Are you sure there are no other rank-IS in the diplomatic mission?” the black-robed man asked with a frown.

The man in white nodded and pointed at his eyes. “Trust my eyes. Besides, even if there’s one more rank-4, with our deployment, we’ll be absolutely safe.”
