C2449 Surveillance
The exit of the Great Lu Dynasty, in the previous battle... Many of the city walls had been destroyed, and after the people of the Fengjue Country entered... They had once again burned and robbed the city, destroying all the buildings in the city. As a result, it led to this pass. There were damaged areas everywhere, although the people of the Great Lu Dynasty had been captured by the Fengjue Country people. After taking back the control of this mountain pass, they started to repair it. However, because it hadn't been long, many places had yet to be repaired. Those with better skills could easily enter the pass. They could also easily leave.
In addition, the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country had stopped fighting. Because of this... The Great Lu Dynasty guards in this pass were not very vigilant. Guarding them here was more like acting as if they were declaring their sovereignty. In fact, the guards were not strict.
Hence, after Lu Yizha brought his men to observe for a while, he was very confident that he could bring his men through this place. As long as he left this place, it would be much easier for him to return to the Great Lu Dynasty.
"First Prince, why don't we just reveal our identities and pass through openly? I don't think those people from the Great Lu Dynasty would dare to make things difficult for us." One of Lu Yizha's followers said.
"You dare guarantee the safety of doing so?" Lu Yizha looked at the follower and said, "We have fought the Great Lu Dynasty for more than ten years. The hatred between us has already entered into the depths of our hearts. It is not something that can be erased by a ceasefire agreement. At the same time, among the people of the Great Lu Dynasty, we wish we could kill all of them. There are also many people who hate us, the people of the Fengjue Country. Previously, those people from the Rebellion Soldier who kept attacking us along the way... Although they have other motives, there is also hatred towards us. Can you guarantee that there is no one like him in this pass? "
Lu Yizha's question stumped the man. He really didn't dare to guarantee anything, because... Even he didn't take the armistice agreement seriously. He also knew that there would still be wars between the two countries in the future. As for the people of the Great Lu Dynasty, especially those who lived near the border... They definitely did not have a good impression of the Fengjue Country in their hearts. They wouldn't mind killing a few people of the Fengjue Country. If they really swaggered through this place... Maybe they'll set up an ambush for us.
There weren't many people on their side anymore. Once they were trapped in the city... It was basically impossible to break out of the encirclement again. Therefore, to be on the safe side, they secretly passed through this pass. It was undoubtedly the safest. Furthermore, the defense of this pass was not very tight. These people were not weak. Secretly passing through here... It was not a big problem.
"His Royal Highness the First Prince is wise." The follower cupped his hands and said. His face was full of admiration for Lu Yizha.
This kind of expression and attitude made Lu Yizha very happy. He felt much better after being struck by such a blow.
Although he wasn't willing to admit it, he had been ambushed by the Rebellion Soldier in the Cangling Mountain by those Great Lu Dynasties. Lu Yizha had to bear a huge responsibility. He had arranged for those scout. He didn't manage to complete the investigation mission very well. As for himself... When he passed by the Cangling Mountain, he clearly knew that the terrain there was dangerous. The most difficult thing to do was defend and attack, but he still stubbornly believed that... The Rebellion Soldier members of the Great Lu Dynasty didn't have that kind of consciousness. It was precisely because of his arrogance that the entire team was ambushed. In the end, they suffered heavy losses. There were only twenty or so people left of his followers. Even his teacher died.
Therefore, Lu Yizha hated the Rebellion Soldier's Great Lu Dynasty. At the same time, he also felt a blow in his heart. And now, it seemed like he had taken advantage of his subordinates... He had regained some of his confidence.
"Victory and defeat are common in war. I was only careless this time. Next time, I'll bring my army here. I'll kill every single one of those damned bastards, not a single one of them will be spared!" Lu Yizha thought in his heart.
He had lost his subordinates and face because of those bastards. Lu Yizha didn't have a good impression of the Great Lu Dynasty and Rebellion Force who were in danger. He swore in his heart that as long as there was a chance, he would definitely take revenge for what he had done today. He would make those people pay the price for what happened today.
"Alright, let's all take a rest first and act at night" Lu Yizha said.
Those followers naturally had no objections. Hence, they found a hidden place to rest and replenish their strength. They waited for the night before secretly coming out of seclusion.
As for Princess Qi, she was no longer within Lu Yizha's consideration. He only wanted to come out of seclusion and return to the country safely. As for the other matters, they weren't that important anymore. Even Princess Qi, whom he had been infatuated with, was the same.
Although Princess Qi was beautiful, Lu Yizha liked her even more. However, in Lu Yizha's heart, Princess Qi was still just a woman. In his heart, women had no status. When he was safe, he naturally wouldn't mind playing with a beauty like Princess Qi. But when he wasn't that safe... He wouldn't consider women anymore. It could be said that... In times of danger, Lu Yizha wouldn't think about his women. If sacrificing his woman could ensure his safety, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Yizha only wanted to come out of seclusion with his subordinates and meet up with the people who came to pick him up. As for Princess Qi who he had never seen before, he didn't care about her condition at all.
On a mountain more than ten kilometers away from this place, there were many people sitting or lying down with their eyes closed to rest. These people were the people from the Rebellion Soldier who came out of the Cangling Mountain earlier.
Previously, due to the sneak attack of the White Lotus Cult, the Rebellion Force had failed to surround the Great Lu Dynasty and send their family members away. After that, on the way to the battle with the White Lotus Cult, there was another large-scale chaotic battle. The Rebellion Force that was still part of the alliance had become irreconcilable enemies in an instant. They started killing each other.
At that time, Wang Cheng had already realized that the situation was hopeless. Therefore, he decisively chose to retreat with his men. He withdrew from the Cangling Mountain and left that place of trouble. However, even though Wang Cheng had already made up his mind... However... Some of his men were still lost in that chaotic battle. As for the soldiers that he had carefully trained, they did not die with the Imperial Court. They died in the civil war against the Fengjue Country. Wang Cheng felt extremely pained.
However, the situation was critical at that time. Wang Cheng did not have much time to be sad and angry. He could only bring his men and quickly leave the battlefield.
However, Wang Cheng was a man with ambition. Even if this operation failed due to an accident. However, he still didn't give up. In his opinion, as long as this group of people hadn't reached the Fengjue Country yet... Then... He still had a chance, and the wedding procession wanted to come out of seclusion. There was only one path they could take, and that was why... He brought his people and temporarily set up camp on the surrounding mountains.
However, this mountain was not on the must-pass route. The terrain wasn't as good as the Cangling Mountain, so Wang Cheng wanted to ambush the person who sent them off again. It wouldn't be easy, not to mention that the other party had already suffered a loss once. It would be very difficult for the ambush to succeed again. After all, the enemy wasn't a fool.
Wang Cheng wasn't in a hurry. After settling down the team, he started to observe the situation of the family sending team. At the same time, he was also thinking about this method. During this period of time, some people from the Rebellion Force arrived one after another.
Wang Cheng was careful this time. In order to avoid the situation where Shi Dafu wanted to drag them down, he had to be careful. This time, Wang Cheng didn't let the powerful Rebellion Force get close to him. Instead, he only accepted the people from the smaller powers. Furthermore, he wanted to take them back.
Those people from the small Rebellion Force didn't dislike this. Although being the leader of a small force seemed to be quite glorious, however... Life isn't easy. All the subordinates have to eat. And they were small, weak, and wanted to rob... It was very difficult. Some of the people from the small influences were about to lose their appetite.
Therefore, it was obviously a good idea to find someone from a major power to seek refuge with. Wang Cheng was obviously a good person who could seek refuge with him.
Although the operation didn't succeed in the end, however... It was because the White Lotus Cult was a bad thing, and it wouldn't affect Wang Cheng's image in the hearts of the other Rebellion Force's people. At least, his previous actions were very successful. He had successfully confused his opponent and ambushed him. He had even almost caught all of them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Wang Cheng's ability had gained the recognition of many people. In addition, Wang Cheng's power had suffered some losses this time. However, he was still very powerful. He had chosen to join such a powerful force. It wasn't a bad thing for those small forces.
Therefore, during this period of time, on the mountain where Wang Cheng's force was located... Their strength had been increasing continuously, and it was different from the previous alliance. At that time, although everyone was acting together, they were not related to each other. They were all independent from each other. But now, all the Rebellion Soldier on this mountain... They were all under Wang Cheng's jurisdiction.1
In this way, Wang Cheng's strength didn't decline. Instead, it increased by a lot. This also increased his confidence in his next move.
When he was monitoring the escort team, Wang Cheng discovered that... The Great Lu Dynasty's princess and the Fengjue Country's First Prince had disappeared at the same time. This was naturally a good thing for Wang Cheng. He liked it even more. Both of them had died in the chaotic battle earlier. If that was the case... Their previous operation would be considered a success.
