Chapter 363 Interception

"I've seen Lord Zhiri!"

The night fire was blazing, illuminating a lonely mountain hut.

Luowang's power is spread across the seven countries. Although it has been purged, it can still be restored quickly. In addition to providing it with a steady stream of members during the troubled times of the Warring States Period, it was also because many nobles in the courts of various countries were willing to cooperate with it.

Guo Kai's eight hundred dead soldiers have arrived, and their leader was once a member of Luo Wang, ranking second in the list of killing characters.

Among the traps, this is one of the few cases where one can escape from the trap without being hunted at all.

"There's not much time left, let's act!"

"yes!"

It takes about an hour to enter the mountain from here, and about three hours to get from the mountain to Qianye Villa.

Zhan Ri raised his head and looked at the sky. By the time they arrived, it should be midnight, the time when all the Mohist disciples were at their most relaxed.

These eight hundred dead soldiers, plus a few leaders of the trap, quickly advanced from the foot of the mountain towards the mountain at a very fast speed.

These men, combining the power of Luowang and the financial resources of Zhao's powerful ministers, have extraordinary strength. Although they are walking in the mountains, their speed is stable. On rugged roads, they are even faster than riding horses.

"stop!"

In front of you is a valley, which is also the passage into the mountain. I have walked through the occultation of the sun once before, but now, it feels a little different.

"Master Zhiri, what's wrong?"

The leader of the dead soldiers came to Zie Ri's side, and behind them were four second-rate swordsmen named Luo Wang who had lost their swords.

This operation put a lot of effort into concealment and hiding from the sun. Even, he did not hesitate to let eight hundred dead soldiers gallop for four hours. Zhanri knew that this would consume a lot of their combat power, but at the same time he also knew that what was waiting for them was the Mohist disciples who suffered heavy casualties in Qianye Villa.

No matter how weak the lion is, it is still more than enough to deal with a sheep.

But even so, Zhan Ri was still very cautious in his heart. Beforehand, men were dispatched to conduct detective work nearby.

But now, these two spies have not returned, which makes Zhi Ri feel doubtful. He looked up at the scene of the valley in front of him. The mountains were steep and the forests were dense, and he felt vigilant in his heart.

"The spies I sent beforehand agreed to meet here. But now, they have not come back."

"Maybe he was delayed because of something, or maybe he met a Mohist disciple and was killed."

The leader of the dead soldiers said without much fluctuation in his words. After all, this is the territory of the Mo family, and there is a possibility that someone in Luowang might encounter an accident. But the leader of the dead soldiers believed that Zhi Ri's men would not reveal the information.

"It's possible!"

The leader of the dead soldiers looked at the sun and persuaded softly.

"Master Zhiri, Prime Minister Zhao has ordered that it is not easy to train these eight hundred dead soldiers. After tonight, these people must return immediately without any delay."

Zhanri glanced at the leader of the dead soldiers, who lowered his head. Although the leader of the dead soldiers is still respectful to Luo Wang's Tian Ziyi, he is no longer a member of Luo Wang.

"Set off!"

When Zhan Sun led his people into the valley, at a certain moment, his already peaceful heart suddenly felt extremely uneasy.

It was so quiet in the valley, there wasn't even a sound of birds chirping among the trees. At first, Zhiri thought it was because the eight hundred dead soldiers had not been able to completely conceal their murderous intent.

But when they entered the valley, they realized that something was wrong. Even if the birds and beasts in the valley did not dare to move because of the murderous intent of these eight hundred dead soldiers, there should not be no traces of birds and beasts at all along the way.

However, it was too late for the sun to wake up. The next moment, icy arrow rain fell from the sky, and the sound of speeding roared, shooting at the dead soldiers in the valley.

Caught off guard, in just one round, most of the eight hundred dead soldiers had fallen.

"General, Guo Kai's dead soldiers are really here."

Young Li Zuoche looked at the battlefield in the valley, wearing armor with stern eyes.

Luo Wang wants to deal with Qianye Villa. Li Zuoche wanted to rescue, but suddenly a military order was sent to Handan, asking them to guard the border to prevent the Huns from attacking.

Li Zuoche naturally understood that this was just an excuse. But with the envoy from Handan in front, he could not disobey the king's order.

Helpless, Li Zuoche could only watch and could not provide support. After the net was repulsed, Li Zuoche got a piece of news.

Luo Wang colluded with Guo Kai and mobilized eight hundred dead men to prepare to attack Qianye Villa.

If it's just the Jianghu forces versus the Jianghu forces, then that's it. But the fate of these eight hundred dead men has a completely different meaning.

Therefore, he mobilized three thousand crossbowmen and secretly hid them in this mountain in order to intercept and kill these eight hundred dead soldiers.

As for the public, he couldn't sit back and watch Li Mujun lose such a big supporter in the world; for the private, he couldn't watch Zhang Sheng die in the hands of the net.

However, Li Zuoche was actually gambling. Because he was not completely sure of the authenticity of this information.

If it was a trap set by his opponent, then his ability to mobilize troops would definitely be caught by his opponent and criticized.

In fact, this argument has long been held in the Handan court. Li Mu has been stationed on the border for a long time and has made outstanding military achievements. Those ministers who were enjoying peace and prosperity in Handan criticized Li Mu for treating the border army as a private army, saying that the Zhao army on the border only knew Li Mu and not the king of Zhao.

"It seems that the two snare spies were not lying."

"Li Zuoche?"

Concubine Yan, Moon God, and Li Ji followed Zhao Shuang, left Qianye Villa, went down the mountain, and arrived at a remote courtyard.

The courtyard has not been cleaned for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on the furniture.

"How are you sure he will come?"

"I've been with you for several years, but I still know."

Facing Concubine Yan's doubts, Zhao Shuang wiped the dusty table and cleared an area.

"This small courtyard has been abandoned for a long time, but the utensils are still there. We are going to spend the night here tonight, so we need to prepare some water and firewood."

Zhao Shuang rummaged through the box and found a bow and a quiver with several arrows inside.

"What kind of place is this? You seem to be familiar with it."

"I have been in the Zhao army for several years, and my troops have been garrisoning here before, so I am naturally familiar with it. However, as the main force of the Zhao army on the border moved south and the Huns invaded, the nearby villages have become empty, and there are not many people left."

Zhao Shuang opened his bow and nodded. It could still be used.

"Concubine Yan, go to the river to get some water..."

Just as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Concubine Yan put her hands on her waist and was very dissatisfied.

"Is it possible that my dignified Lord Dong from the Yin Yang family is just fetching water for you like a servant?"

"Of course I didn't just fetch water, I also washed this iron pot."

"I……"

Concubine Yan looked at Zhao Shuang, holding her breath, her chest swelled a lot.

Then, Zhao Shuang looked at Luna, who was suppressing a smile.

"Go to the forest and pick up some branches to make a fire at night."

"My majestic moon god of the Yin Yang family..."

"Go quickly and stop talking nonsense. The woods are quite far away from here."

"oh!"

The Moon God's arrogance subsided and he was about to walk out, but was stopped by Concubine Yan.

"Then what does she do?"

Concubine Yan pointed at Li Ji and was very dissatisfied that Zhao Shuang did not assign work to her.

"She always has to tidy the house and make the bed, otherwise how can she sleep?"

"Why is she here while we have to run around?"

Concubine Yan shouted very dissatisfied. Zhao Shuang asked softly.

"Then can you clean up the house?"

Concubine Yan smiled, with her hands on her waist, her face full of confidence, as if what Zhao Shuang said was a piece of cake, and she said it very loudly.

"I won't!"

"..."

After Concubine Yan finished speaking, she also felt a little embarrassed. She lost her previous arrogance and ran into the yard without saying a word, carrying the iron pot.

"Don't forget to get the bucket."

"oh!"

Concubine Yan's voice came from outside the house, and then there was a clanging sound, and Concubine Yan's figure quickly disappeared.
