Of course, just in case, Zhou Ying bought all the alcohol and oil in the inn and loaded them into her carriage.

The group traveled smoothly for quite some time until they pa.s.sed by the place where Zhou Ying and the others were ambushed last time.

Zhou Ying noticed hundreds of men in black hiding on the other side of the mountain, and the scouts sent by Zhang Ping were also eliminated.

There were only about 80 people in their group. The a.s.sa.s.sins would not lose even if they fought head-on, let alone ambus.h.i.+ng them. Zhou Ying quickly informed Gu Chengrui of this.

Gu Chengrui peeked out and saw Zhang Ping and the others at the front were about to enter an ambush.

General Zhang, wait a moment.

After shouting, he immediately got off the carriage and ran over.

Zhang Ping heard his shout and immediately raised his hand to stop everyone. When he came over, he asked, What happened, Lord Gu?

Dont you think its too quiet here? Gu Chengrui asked.

Zhang Ping asked in surprise, Are you saying there might be an ambush?

Its best to be careful. Didnt you send out a scout who hasnt returned yet? Lets wait for a while. Safety first.

Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, but he finally nodded after considering the safety of His Highness. He then went to report to King Rui personally.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Zhang Ping began to feel uneasy. The scout had gone for a long time and should have returned.

They waited another 15 minutes, but there was still no sign of his return. Zhang Ping finally confirmed that there was an ambush ahead.

At this time, Zhou Huaiming had also rushed over with 20 people.

After learning that there was an ambush ahead, he said solemnly, Your highness, you must return. Leave this place to us.

Im not going back. If I head back, itll be difficult to reenter the capital again.

If I dont return, the princess consort and the others will be in danger. King Rui shook his head.

He knew very well that, after the exposure of the crimes of the First Prince and the Fourth Price, the situation inside the capital was dire, even though it seemed calm on the surface.

Otherwise, Seventh Su would not have attempted a.s.sa.s.sination on Gu Chengrui and his wife. He even tried wiping out the forces King Rui left in the capital, including the two consorts.

If he couldnt return this time, the First and Fourth Princes would join forces to kill him.

Even if he could survive, he would suffer heavy losses. This was not what he wanted to see.

If you trust me, pick a few people with strong arms. I have my ways. Gu Chengrui spoke up.

What is it? Zhang Ping quickly turned his head and asked.

You should still remember the oil lamp we threw back then, right? When we left the inn, my wife bought all the alcohol and oil there.

But how do we lure them out?

Gather all the horses and run over quickly.

Its feasible. Lets do it. King Rui nodded in agreement.

Thats right. When they hear the sound of thundering hooves, they will act.

Even if we fail, theyll come out after knowing weve discovered them. Otherwise, they wont have the chance to make a move at dawn. Zhou Huaiming nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ping nodded and started to execute the plan.

What they didnt expect was that there was a trip rope on the way. Fortunately, there was no one on the horse that fell.

At the same time, when everyone stopped to check the horse that fell, Zhou Ying used her spiritual senses to strangle two a.s.sa.s.sins on sentry duty at the top of the mountain.

Therefore, when the horses continued their march, the a.s.sa.s.sins did not receive a heads-up from the sentries and immediately ran out to intercept the horses..
