The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 137 Retreat from the enemy

Su Lun and Gu Bei quietly crept over and lay on the rocks at the side of the valley entrance, taking in everything in the valley. They saw Master Chen Xuan and his men fighting with a group of men in black, and both sides showed their strong strength. However, since Master Chen Xuan had not yet given a signal, Su Lun and Gu Bei did not dare to act rashly and could only quietly wait for the opportunity to come.

Su Lun whispered a few words to Gu Bei, and then gave orders to Jiang Zhinan, Wang Shen and others to stay where they were and wait for further instructions. Then, Su Lun, Gu Bei and Qing Yang covered their faces with scarves and quietly sneaked into the valley.

At the same time, the battle in the valley became more and more intense. Although Master Chenxuan and the guards of the Chu royal family were elites, the other side was obviously not weak either, and even had the support of the archers on the mountain, which made the battle between the two sides fall into a stalemate.

At this tense moment, Master Chenxuan also wanted to see the strength of these people from the State of Chu, and was not in a hurry to let Su Lun and others take action. He sat calmly in the carriage, observing the situation outside through the curtain.

The guards fought fiercely with the men in black, with swords flashing and blood splattering. Master Chen Xuan focused his eyes and calmly analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides. He found that these men in black seemed to be well prepared, and he didn't know how many people there were on the other side. They fell one after another, continuously.

As time went by, the guards gradually became exhausted, and many of their own men fell. Master Chen Xuan realized that he couldn't go on like this, so he decisively took out a flare from his arms and released it.

The flare burst into brilliant light in the air, and Su Lun and Gu Bei instantly became alert. The three of them had already quietly approached the place where the men in black had ambushed, and when they saw the flare rise into the air, they knew the time had come.

Su Lun, Gu Bei and Qing Yang did not hesitate to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the men in black like lightning. Their precise archery skills caught the men in black off guard, and more than a dozen of them were shot dead in an instant.

These men in black were fighting fiercely with the guards when they were suddenly attacked from behind, and their formation was thrown into disarray. They had no time to care about the fight in the valley and turned around to look for the person who shot the arrow from behind.

However, Su Lun, Gu Bei and Qing Yang kept changing their positions, making it difficult for the man in black to determine their exact location. They shuttled around like ghosts, constantly shooting deadly arrows, causing great pressure on the man in black.

At the same time, Wang Shen, Jiang Zhinan and others also quietly moved into the valley, but they did not immediately engage in battle. Instead, they found a shelter not far away and kept a close eye on the battlefield, ready to provide support at any time.

Without the threat of the archers on the mountain, the morale of the Chu guards instantly increased, and their combat effectiveness also improved a lot. Soon, more and more black-clad men fell to the ground, and they wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was not good.

However, the second prince did not give them a chance to escape. "Everyone listen up, fight with all your might, and don't let any thieves go!" the second prince shouted loudly while riding his horse.

The men in black heard the Second Prince's words and rushed towards him desperately, but the Second Prince was not in a hurry. The guards around him had formed an airtight net to protect the master firmly in the middle. The Second Prince himself held a silver spear in his hand, and occasionally one or two men in black approached him, but he shot them back.

The second prince looked gentle and refined, but he was also proficient in martial arts. He wielded his spear with agile movements and sharp moves, and each strike carried a deadly threat. His eyes were firm, revealing an unshakable determination.

As time went on, the number of men in black gradually decreased, and the situation began to tilt in their favor. The Chu guards worked closely together and continuously dealt fatal blows to the enemy.

Although Young Master Chenxuan did not bring many people with him, each of them was very powerful, and the lives of the men in black they took were no less than those of the Chu guards.

Most of the men in black had rushed to the valley, leaving only thirty or so archers on the mountain. However, these thirty or so archers were clearly no match for Su Lun, Gu Bei, and Qing Yang. In less than ten minutes, only two of these men in black were left.

At this moment, the only two remaining men in black looked at Su Lun, Gu Bei and Qing Yang who came out from behind the tree in horror, their eyes full of despair. They tried to raise their bows and arrows to fight back, but they were obviously so frightened that their hands were shaking.

Gu Bei snorted disdainfully, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with the quality of these men in black. Then, he and Su Lun pulled up their longbows together, and the two men in black died almost at the same time.

The three of them looked towards the valley and found that the situation seemed to be under control. The men in black looked like they were trapped in a jar, and there were only a few survivors.

"What should we do now?" Gu Bei turned around and asked.

Su Lun paused for a moment and replied calmly: "Let's observe the situation first." After all, it was not clear whether the other party had other ambushes, so it was not appropriate to show up rashly at this time.

About twenty minutes later, the remaining men in black were all subdued. The second prince rode up to the men in black and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me and the envoy of the Chu State? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

"Bah, what a traitor, you are a traitor. You gave so much silver to the enemy for nothing, and only got a little food in return. We, the Great Chu, have the ability to defeat them, so why should we give them so much money!"

Zhao Ziyuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He stabbed the man in black through the throat with his gun. "Stubborn!"

Then, the second prince looked at the other men in black and said, "If anyone is willing to tell me who is behind this, I can spare his life." However, no one responded. Zhao Ziyuan frowned, thinking that since these people were unwilling to speak, things would become difficult. They needed to get to Qingzhou as soon as possible. After all, the victims in the country were waiting for this batch of food to save their lives, and they really couldn't waste too much time here.

After weighing the pros and cons, the second prince looked at the men in black with a gloomy face. His eyes were full of determination and indifference, as if he had already made a decision. Finally, he said solemnly: "Since you are unwilling to speak, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As he finished speaking, the second prince waved his hand violently, signaling the soldiers behind him to take action.

In an instant, swords shone and blood splattered. The men in black fell one after another, and their lives ended at this moment. The whole scene became extremely bloody and chilling. However, the second prince remained indifferent, with only coldness and determination on his face.

After dealing with these men in black, the second prince began to clean up the battlefield. After some statistics, he found that five guards of the Chu State were unfortunately killed, ten were seriously injured, and more than twenty were slightly injured. Two of Master Chenxuan's men were also slightly injured. In addition, a precious warhorse was lost.

Faced with this situation, the second prince decisively ordered the dead to be buried on the spot, and asked the accompanying doctors to treat the injured. During this process, Princess Qianying also walked out of the carriage with the help of her maid. The bloody scene in front of her made her feel uncomfortable, but as the eldest princess of the Chu State, she tried to stay calm.

Seeing Princess Qianying appear, the Second Prince immediately stepped forward and said with concern: "Qianying, this is not the place for you to stay. Go to the side and rest for a while. I want to discuss the next plan with Brother Chenxuan." Then he turned to Wenjing and Rulan and instructed: "You two take good care of the princess."

After arranging everything, the second prince walked towards Master Chenxuan, ready to discuss the next plan of action with him.
