Riding the Pheonix Chapter 156: Challenge

After noon, the officer scouting the way turned around and the team moved forward again.

The moment before the carriage started, the curtain lifted and Ah Wan got in.

Duofu glared at her: "What are you doing here?"

Duofu has always had a subtle psychology towards Ah Wan.

Because Ah Wan is too capable and feels inferior, and he doesn't like her disrespect for Ming Wei.

It's just that when she was in Dongning, she didn't dare to express her displeasure with Awan because of their different identities.

The fight at the inn a few days ago took off this layer of skin.

Ah Wan was not angry either: "If the young master wasn't destined, would you consider me my love?"

The two maids looked at each other disgustedly, snorted at the same time, turned away from each other and said nothing.

Mingwei shook his head, too lazy to do anything else and only focused on his schedule.

This valley is not a thin line of terrain, but a relatively broad valley, not that dangerous.

However, the deep forests and dense grass are very suitable for ambush.

Although some officials had already visited the road, they still exercised great caution when marching.

After passing here, you enter the boundary of Gyeonggi Province. Not only will the road be smooth, there will also be soldiers and horses coming to help.

Those Xingxiu accomplices want to kidnap Mingsan or even silence them. This is their only chance.

Yang Shu and Jiang Wenfeng knew this in their hearts, otherwise, they would not have sent Ah Wan here.

Although Duofu has strong inner strength, she has never practiced martial arts. It is still too much to expect her to protect Mingwei.

A-wan sat for a while and saw Duofu gesticulating and mumbling words, and couldn't help but said: "Do you think learning martial arts is so easy? Since I was six years old, I have been squatting on horseback and tying sandbags every day, and practiced hard for ten Years later, I have achieved my current skills. What’s the use of cramming like this?"

Duofu snorted and retorted disdainfully: "The lady said that if I learn these three moves well, I will be considered a master!"

Ah Wan laughed loudly: "You think you are Cheng Yaojin and you can just learn three axes? You are kidding!"

Duofu ignored her and continued gesturing with his hands.

Awan found it boring and went to see Mingwei again.

But he saw her leaning against the car wall with her eyes closed and concentrating, looking like she didn't care about anything.

Ah Wan couldn't help but ask: "There will be a tough battle today, are you not worried at all?"

Mingwei opened his eyes and closed them again: "Why should you worry? I am just a family member of a criminal official, and I only earned such leniency by doing a little merit. Something really happened. The responsibility does not fall on me."

Ah Wan was stunned: "How could you do this and it has nothing to do with you?"

"Because it's none of my business in the first place!"

She answered easily, and Ah Wan couldn't help but feel depressed. She really wanted to get out of the car and get over it, regardless of her life or death. But the young master confessed several times that he must protect her safety, so he had no choice but to endure it and turned away.

Both master and servant are equally annoying!

After walking for an hour, the sky gradually became overcast, and the sun had moved over the mountain peaks on the other side and could no longer shine in the valley.

The fog began to spread, slowly covering the road ahead.

"Here we come." Mingwei said suddenly.

Awan's spirits lifted.

Duofu also stopped gesturing and looked around nervously.

Mingwei raised the curtains and shouted: "Big cousin!"

Ji Ling approached on horseback and bent down: "Cousin, is there something wrong?"

Ming Wei said: "If something happens later, you can find a place to hide yourself."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "Is someone robbing the prisoner?"

Mingwei nodded.

Ji Ling said: "Okay, I will be careful, you take care of yourself."

Lowering the curtains, Mingwei told Duofu: "If you make a move later, please pay more attention to your cousin."

Duofu hurriedly said: "But Miss, you..."

"I'm here!" Ah Wan snorted, her tone not very good.

Duofu knew the importance and did not argue with Ah Wan at the moment. He just sat quietly, recalling the formula taught by the young lady in his mind, raising his inner strength and getting ready for the challenge.

The fog finally became so thick that we could no longer move forward.

Lei Hong ordered the team to stop and go back to report.

Jiang Wenfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Accept the challenge."

Lei Hong responded in a low voice: "Yes."

They all know that this is a fierce battle.

No matter how many strategies you use, strength will speak for itself in the end.

Yang Shu sat up straight in the carriage.

There was a fluttering sound, and he looked up at the birds that were vaguely visible in the mist.

"The birds in the dark forest are frightened, it seems that someone has arrived!"

A Xuan was beside him, and after hearing this, he held down the weapon on his waist.

Yang Shu said: "You are not needed here, you go and see Gu Mingsan."

Axuan said: "Master, your safety is more important than his."

Yang Shu shook his head: "Ming San must not die."

A Xuan was helpless and raised his hand: "I'm going down."

The sound of the birds' wings vibrating became louder and louder, and suddenly an official shouted: "The birds are flying over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless birds flying out of the fog and swooping down overwhelmingly.

As they got closer, the officers discovered that these birds were actually large eagles with extremely sharp teeth and claws. If they were not careful, they would be pecked until they bled profusely.

Lei Hong shouted loudly: "Where is the crossbowman!"

After hearing the order, the crossbowmen came out and set up their crossbows.

"Whoops!" A round of crossbows was shot down, and the big eagles were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

For those who slipped through the net, the officials gathered around and killed them.

Mingwei was sitting in the car, so she couldn't be hurt. Ah Wan saw her worried expression and couldn't help but ask, "What are you worried about?"

She looked at the eagle corpses and whispered: "After this round~IndoMTL.com~how many crossbow arrows have been consumed?"

Ah Wan immediately understood what she meant: "You mean, the other party is consuming our crossbow arrows?"

Mingwei nodded.

After she said this, another official shouted: "There is something in the grass!"

There was another volley of crossbows.

What came out this time were various animals.

Ah Wan was completely convinced: "We brought a lot of crossbows, but with this shooting method, they will probably be used up soon."

How could Lei Hong not notice this problem?

After shooting these animals, he asked about the stock of crossbow arrows and immediately ordered: "Shield guards, form a formation!"

Guards holding shields lined up one after another, with their shields facing outward, surrounding the convoy.

As soon as the formation was completed, the sound of bows and arrows was heard.

Mingwei looked at the arrows that fell on the ground and said, "Fortunately, the other party didn't have a crossbow."

Crossbows are more powerful than bows and arrows. If the opponent has a crossbow in their hand, it will be more difficult for them to consume it.

As he said that, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle coming from the air.

Awan looked at it and was shocked: "Rocket!"

Rockets shot out one after another, nailing the car body and quickly causing it to ignite.

"Get off the car!" Ah Wan shouted.

The three of them waited for a round, and after confirming that the other party had no more bows and arrows, they jumped out of the car.

Awan pulled Mingwei and looked around for a place to hide.

"Cousin!" Ji Ling looked anxious, and was relieved when he saw that she was safe and sound.

After this round of rockets, the real highlight finally came.

In the grass and behind the boulders, a large number of men in black jumped out and rushed towards the convoy.

Ah Wan cursed in a low voice: "Didn't I search it already? There are still so many people."
