The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 136 Attacked

Although everyone wanted to travel as fast as possible, the team was large in number and the speed was naturally much slower. At this time, Gu Bei and Su Lun also joined together. They concealed their auras and quietly followed behind the team.

Su Lun frowned, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart. Seeing this, Gu Bei couldn't help but joked: "Brother Su, you are already on your way back, why are you still frowning? Is there something else to worry about?"

Su Lun sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. I feel that our operation went too smoothly this time... It seems that something is wrong."

Gu Bei patted Su Lun on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't think too much. We just need to be vigilant. As long as we stay alert, we can respond in time even if we encounter any danger."

Su Lun nodded and responded, "Brother Gu is right... maybe I'm overthinking. But no matter what, we'd better be careful." The two continued to follow the team while remaining highly vigilant.

The first two days were calm, but when passing a valley on the afternoon of the third day, Su Lun's uneasiness reached its peak.

This valley is somewhat similar to the place where Su Lun and others were attacked before, but not exactly the same. It is surrounded by mountains, and the surrounding peaks are towering into the clouds. The steep mountains are daunting. A layer of light mist permeates the valley, making the entire valley even more mysterious. Walking along the path in the valley, you can see some traps hidden in the grass on the side of the road. These traps are set by hunters to catch prey. There are dense woods on both sides of the path, and bursts of bird calls can be heard from time to time in the woods, giving people a sense of vitality.

When the main force entered the valley, Su Lun and his men did not follow immediately, but quietly hid not far from the valley entrance. He hid behind a huge rock, quietly observing the situation in the valley, his eyes calm and sharp.

When Master Chen Xuan's convoy reached the center of the valley, everything was so quiet that even the sound of the wind seemed to become particularly clear. Although Master Chen Xuan was not good at martial arts, his intuition was extremely sharp. He keenly sensed a hint of danger and felt uneasy. He frowned and whispered to the guards around him, "Something seems to be wrong..."

After hearing what Master Chen Xuan said, the guards became more alert and looked around vigilantly. They held their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any possible threats.

At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly emerged from a height, appearing like ghosts on the cliffs on both sides of the valley. They held bows and arrows, aimed at the convoy, and shot arrows without hesitation. The arrows flashed with cold light, carrying a deadly threat.

However, the attack of these men in black did not cause Young Master Chen Xuan and his convoy to fall into chaos. On the contrary, they showed amazing training. Those who were selected to accompany Young Master Chen Xuan on the mission to Chu State were naturally capable, and they were very alert after hearing the order. Therefore, under the enemy's attack, they responded quickly.

The guards quickly held up their shields, forming a solid line of defense to protect the people on the carriage. They worked closely together, their movements were skillful and orderly, without any hesitation or panic.

At the same time, the Chu guards led by the second prince also reacted quickly and immediately put up their shields to block the enemy's arrows. Their actions were swift and decisive, showing excellent fighting qualities. Although this was a sudden attack, they remained calm and quickly took defensive measures.

This wave of arrows did not cause much damage, only one guard was killed on the spot, and several other guards near the periphery were slightly injured. However, they were not intimidated, but stood firmly in their positions, ready to meet the next challenge.

Young Master Chen Xuan looked at the black-clad men on the mountain through the gap in the carriage, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: "Finally here!" He calmly observed the situation around him, his eyes swept over the figures of those black-clad men, and secretly calculated their number and strength. Although on the surface these black-clad men were not many in number, they dared to intercept them so blatantly, so they must have something to rely on, and there might be more ambushes ahead.

However, Master Chen Xuan did not feel anxious or afraid. On the contrary, he seemed to be looking forward to the battle, as if he had already prepared for it. He silently touched the hidden weapons in his arms, feeling the sense of security they brought. At the same time, he also knew that Su Lun and others who followed him secretly would be his strong support.

At this moment, a guard accidentally put down his shield, and an arrow immediately shot his arm. Seeing this, the others raised their shields again to prevent more arrows from hitting them. However, this slowed down their progress.

As everyone was moving forward cautiously, a horse pulling supplies was suddenly shot by an arrow. The horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the other horses were also frightened and began to become restless.

The guards had to allocate some manpower to control the horses, which gave the men in black an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Soon, many men in black rushed down the mountain.

The second prince couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He said, "How dare you act so wildly in front of me! You guys protect Princess Qianying." After that, he turned to the soldiers around him and said, "Come with me to fight. We must take down these men in black!" Then, the second prince, with several guards, rode his horse and rushed towards the men in black.

At this time, Master Chenxuan also noticed the change in the situation. He lifted the curtain from the carriage and observed the enemy's movements. The Second Prince rode his horse to Master Chenxuan's carriage and asked loudly: "Brother Chenxuan, what should we do now? These people are here with ill intentions!"

Young Master Chen Xuan glanced at the Second Prince and replied coldly: "Don't panic, Second Prince. These people are nothing to be afraid of. Kill one if one comes, kill two if two come!"

The second prince shuddered involuntarily, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "This Master Chen Xuan looks gentle and refined, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive and ruthless!" He originally thought that Master Chen Xuan was just a weak scholar who could only recite poems and compose couplets and was good at officialdom strategies, but he didn't expect that the other party would show such ruthlessness and determination at this moment, which was really impressive. This momentum was not inferior to those generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time and were brave and good at fighting.
