"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1025
? On the official road in Jingu Mansion, Baishan Province, a caravan selling salt and iron business is walking slowly.
This caravan has more than one hundred carts, whether it is the grooms driving the horses or the guards with knives, all of them are burly and sturdy.
Around a cart in the middle of the caravan, there were even more than a dozen cavalry guards around it, and the guards were heavily guarded.
This caravan is actually a wedding sending team sent by the Far Eastern court, and they are going to the camp of Youxian King of the Grassland.
The royal court and the Pingyang rebels are now in an endless situation, and most of the Baishan province is controlled by the rebels.
Therefore, the wedding sending team, which should have been bustling, had to pretend to be a caravan to reduce attention.
The salt and iron and other items trafficked in these more than one hundred carts were also the dowry given to Princess Mingyue by the Far Eastern court.
For prairie wolf riders, what they lack are items such as salt, iron and silk, so these things are extremely precious.
It stands to reason that the marriage of the princess of the royal family must be done with great honor, but now it is a war after all, and it is disgraceful to send a woman to King Youxian in exchange for taking out troops, so everything is kept simple.
At this moment, Long Yue, Princess of the Bright Moon, who was riding in the carriage and guarded by two burly maids, was no longer as beautiful as before, but had a haggard face and a gloomy expression.
As the princess of the royal family, she thought she could control her own destiny and escape her fate, but in the end she still couldn't escape.
She will now be sent to be a woman to King Youxian, and become a bargaining chip that can be traded.
But it was her elder brother who did all of this, which made Her Royal Highness Long Yue feel ashamed and wanted to commit suicide several times.
But along the way, she was guarded tightly, and she couldn't even seek death, which made Long Yue extremely painful.
"Da da da¡ª¡ª"
When the caravan was walking slowly on the official road, there was a sound of horseshoes ahead, and a cavalry came galloping from a distance.
"My lord, the capital of Jingu Mansion is not far ahead. I have already contacted their people. King Youxian will personally bring people to Jingu Mansion to greet him."
The cavalryman galloped to a middle-aged man, got off his horse, and reported loudly.
"I see."
The middle-aged man nodded, seeing the surrounding forest and mountains, his complexion relaxed a little.
As the person in charge of sending off relatives, he was very worried along the way, because there were wars everywhere.
Especially after entering the Baishan Province, it was found that the place was in chaos, bandits were rampant, and various families were attacking and killing each other.
Their caravan encountered several attacks, although they were repelled by them, but it also made them tense.
Now he is about to arrive at the capital of Jingu Mansion, and King Youxian will personally lead the wolf cavalry to greet him, which undoubtedly inspires him.
"Pass down the order, be vigilant, and speed up."
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the person in charge decided to increase his speed and rush to Jingu Mansion to join You Xianwang's people as soon as possible.
Because only when they join up with King Youxian's wolf cavalry can they complete the task.
Following the order of the middle-aged man, the caravan also accelerated suddenly and headed towards the capital of Jingu Mansion.
There are many mountains and river valleys in Baishan Province. Jingu Mansion is a valley sandwiched between two mountains. Cottages and towns are distributed in the valley, and there are lofty mountains on both sides.
Because the towns are distributed in the valley, the roads are also built along the valley.
When this team of seeing off relatives was marching along the official road, they didn't know that they were already being watched.
Li Changqing and his Rebel Fourteenth Corps were stationed hundreds of miles away from Jingu Mansion.
When he learned that the Far Eastern court was going to marry King Youxian, Li Changqing personally led two thousand elites to Jingu Mansion to snatch the marriage.
However, Zhou Han, the chief of staff, stayed in the control area to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
The two thousand elites led by Li Changqing were lurking in the dense forest next to the official road, waiting quietly.
"My lord, they are here!"
When Li Changqing was lying under a tree and chewing grass roots, a brother ran over with his back bent.
"How far is it?"
"It's only a few miles away."
"Brothers, work!"
???The team to send the marriage to the imperial court was approaching, and Li Changqing also stood up excitedly, with a glint in his sharp eyes, like a hungry wolf.
The two thousand brothers scattered in the forest stood up like howling beasts, holding weapons and longbows, and turned their gazes to Li Changqing.
The two thousand brothers were all wearing the white clothes and robes of the Zhendong Army, because they were going to frame the Zhendong Army this time.
Not long after, a mighty caravan came along the main road, and Li Changqing, who was hiding in the forest, also held their breath, waiting for the caravan to enter the ambush circle.
Although the guards of the caravan were also extra vigilant, they stared at the surrounding forests, and any disturbance could not escape their eyes.
"My lord, there seems to be someone in the woods!"
Although the white clothes and white robes were covered by green leaves, they were still too conspicuous after all. Before Li Changqing and the others mobilized, the guards of the caravan discovered the situation.
"Do it!"
Seeing the caravan stop suddenly, Li Changqing waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Arrows as dense as locusts suddenly shot out from the dense forest, knocking a caravan guard to the ground.
Facing the sudden attack, the caravan reacted quickly, and someone protected the Longyue carriage with a shield.
The guards of the rest of the caravan gathered quickly, trying to repel the attackers.
After all, they have been attacked several times along the way, and they are already familiar with the routine of being attacked.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the caravan was orderly and orderly, there was no confusion, but Li Changqing gave them a high-level look, but this did not change the result.
?The brothers of the Qinghe Army armed with swords and shields rushed out of the forest in groups of three and five, extremely ferocious.
"It's the Zhendong Army!"
Seeing the white-clothed and white-robed soldiers rushing out, the head of the caravan also changed his face wildly.
If they encounter ordinary bandits, they have absolute confidence to repel them.
However, the opponent was a regular army unit of the Zhendong Army, and there were so many of them, they were naturally shocked.
Although he didn't know why the news was leaked, the person in charge of the caravan hurriedly sent several cavalry to Jingu Mansion to ask for reinforcements from King Youxian who was waiting.
The battle broke out suddenly in the valley, and the guards of the caravan were all carefully selected elites from the imperial guards.
However, compared with the veterans under Li Changqing's command, the difference between these elites can be seen from a single face-to-face.
The guards of the caravan were cut down to the ground one after another, screaming one after another, and they couldn't stop Li Changqing and the others from rushing.
Hearing the shouts of killing outside, Long Yue, the princess under house arrest, also became agitated.
Although she didn't know who was attacking, she now hated the imperial court and her elder brother to death.
Now she is even praying that these attackers can save her, so she is also praying secretly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
