514: C514 Ambush

C514 Ambush

In an instant, these two women became soulmates.

Beside them, Fu Yuechi stared blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Fu Qingfeng and Nie Xiaoqian looked at each other and smiled. They suddenly felt that if it wasn't for Chu Yun, the two of them would have been quite harmonious.

"Report. . . "

At this moment, a figure dressed in black rushed over from afar. He shouted from afar, "Miss Qingfeng, Miss Yue Chi! We have already confirmed that the soldiers will walk on the main road and pass by the Ten Mile Pavilion!"

"That's great!"

Fu Qingfeng regained his senses when he heard this. The distracting thoughts in his eyes were immediately discarded. He turned to Chu Yun and the others and said, "Brothers and sisters, it is finally time for us to rescue them!"

After saying that, everyone took a deep breath. In order to rescue Fu Tianchou, they had been preparing for almost two months. This day had finally arrived.

A few months ago, Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites, took a leave of absence from the emperor and returned to his hometown at the Lakeside Manor due to his father-in-law's illness.

It happened to be the rising tide of Guangyang Lake next to Lakeside Prefecture, causing a flood to flood the surrounding counties and hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Because of the sudden appearance of the flood, the losses were too great. Hundreds of thousands of civilians escaped from various counties and gathered towards Linghu Prefecture.

At that time, the Prefecture Lord of the Prefecture City was afraid that the hundreds of thousands of refugees entering the city would cause a huge impact to the Prefecture City. Furthermore, there was not much food left in the Prefecture City, so it was not enough to support the hundreds of thousands of refugees. Letting them in would only cause the treasury to be emptied and the residents in the Prefecture City to become disaster victims.

Of course. . .

On the surface, this was the reason, but the actual reason was not the same.

The grain stored in the treasury was indeed not enough to help the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, but the government was not the only one in the city who had grain. Every family, landlord, wealthy people, and Chamber of Commerce also had grain.

If the governor was willing to ask for some of these people's grain, he would be able to help the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims until the tide receded or the grain from the Imperial Court arrived.

But. . .

The Prefecture Master of the Lakeside Prefecture was a cowardly and incompetent person. He did not dare to take such a huge responsibility and did not have the heart to save the people. In the face of a disaster, he only wanted to protect himself. He ordered the city gates to tighten and let the hundreds of thousands of people starve to death outside the city.

At that time, Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites, was in the Prefecture City. When he saw the Prefecture Master make such a decision, he was shocked and pained.

He tried to persuade the prefectural government a few times, but the prefectural government did not agree.

Although Fu Tianchou was the official of the Ministry of Rites and had a higher position than the prefectural palace lord, this was the prefectural city, not the capital. The important figure behind the prefectural palace lord was not the same as Fu Tianchou. The ruling faction. Therefore, Fu Tianchou's advice was of no use to the Prefecture Master.

Power was in the hands of the House Master. Fu Tianchou's forceful suppression of the dragon was useless in front of the House of High Lords. However, there was nothing he could do even if the other party refused to listen to him. Or rather, there was no proper way. . .

Seeing hundreds of thousands of disaster victims suffering outside of the prefecture and could starve to death at any time, Fu Tianchou could not convince himself to do anything.

Thus, Fu Tianchou took the risk.

Fu Tianchou's father-in-law was a leader of the Escort Agency. When he was young, he was considered one of the most powerful men in the martial arts world of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that he had passed away, many people from the martial arts world came to his funeral.

After the disaster happened, Fu Tianchou advised the Prefecture Master several times, but failed. He decided to use force. He gathered those warriors from the martial arts world and attacked the Prefecture Master's mansion. He held the Prefecture Master hostage and put him under house arrest. He lied to the public that the Prefecture Master had a sudden illness and could not bear it.

Then, Fu Tianchou became the most important official in the Prefecture in the name of the Ministry of Rites. It was reasonable for him to take over all the matters in the Prefecture.

Many people in the Lakeside Prefecture knew what was going on. However, Fu Tianchou had too many people from the pugilistic world around him, and they were very powerful. Those who wanted to resist were afraid of the consequences of the Prefecture Master, so they endured it and were forced to listen to Fu Tianchou's orders.

Then. . .

Fu Tianchou gave the order to open the city gate and accept the refugees of the outside world into the city.

There was not enough food in the Lakeside Manor's treasury. Fu Tianchou could not afford to support these refugees, so he took it from the wealthy merchants and landlords in the city and used the name of the Imperial Court to collect them.

The wealthy merchants and landlords were not fools. They knew very well that. . . Fu Tianchou had gone crazy. He was willing to sacrifice his own life for the sake of the disaster relief.

A Minister of the Imperial Court had used the authority of a prefectural governor in the Linghu Prefecture to suppress the opposition. All of this was no different than a rebellion.

Some people really thought that Fu Tianchou had rebelled. No one would dare to not pay for his grain collection because they were afraid that Fu Tianchou would act like he had done to the prefectural governor and force them to do what he had done to the prefectural governor.

After more than a month, when the flood in Lakeside Prefecture receded, the hundreds of thousands of refugees who had entered the city miraculously survived.

It was also at this moment that the Imperial Court sent out the Embroidered Uniform Guard to bring troops to the Lakeside Manor. They were already prepared for the worst, thinking that Fu Tianchou had already rebelled.

However, facing the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Fu Tianchou was all alone. He surrendered and did not resist at all.

After the disaster settled down, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. Therefore, he let those people from the Jianghu who helped him in the disaster relief leave with Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, leaving him alone to face the upcoming storm.

Fu Tianchou had indeed done a good deed. Although the procedure was extremely violent and violated the national law, to a certain extent, he had no choice but to do so.

Furthermore. . .

In terms of human life. . . From the looks of it, Fu Tianchou had saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of victims. This was a tremendous amount of karma.

However, this was not what the Imperial Court was looking at.

In the eyes of the Emperor and the ministers, they saw Fu Tianchou's boldness, disregard the laws of the country, and disregard the rules. Although he had saved hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, the consequences and effects of breaking the rules were even more terrifying than directly killing the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.

Thus, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was ordered to escort Fu Tianchou back to the capital. According to Fu Tianchou's actions, there was an intense debate in the Imperial Court.

In the end, the faction that upheld the rules obtained an overwhelming victory. They advised the Emperor to escort Fu Tianchou back to the capital and behead him at noon to show their effect.

The Emperor also accepted this suggestion. Once the Imperial Decree was passed, the Imperial Secret Service would send Fu Tianchou back to the capital and execute him there.

After the Fu sisters heard the Imperial Court's order, they could no longer tolerate it and worked with the people from the pugilistic world to plan the rescue.

In fact, it was precisely because Fu Tianchou had saved hundreds of thousands of people from the pugilistic world that the people from the pugilistic world were determined to follow him. They even risked their lives to rescue him.

Every official would say that they were good officials who were willing to do anything for the country and the people. However, most people in the martial arts world would spit on these so-called good officials.

But. . .

Fu Tianchou was different.

He would not say it, but he would do it. His actions made every person in the martial arts world feel like giving him a thumbs up.

This was a good official who could do real things for the country and the people. Now, he was imprisoned to save the people, and he would be executed immediately. However, no one in the martial arts world could stand idly by.

Zhi Qiuyi was a cultivator from the Kunlun Sect, a cultivation sect. He was considered a monk and did not care about the world. However, after he heard what Lord Fu did, he immediately decided to help the Fu sisters without hesitation.

It was the same for Chu Yun.

General Pang Ce from the Raging Flame Army said that Fu Tianchou was a good official. What he had seen and heard along the way to the capital, he also felt that Fu Tianchou was a good official and a good person after hearing all the things he had done.

Since he was a good person, he should not die.

……

Noon, outside the Ten Mile Pavilion.

There was a road from the south to the north, passing through Ming Lan County and Pudu Mountain, heading to the capital.

On both sides of the road, in the dense underbrush and woods, Chu Yun, Nie Xiaoqian, the Fu family sisters, and many people from the pugilistic world had gathered there and were ready for an ambush.

They quietly hid themselves. No matter if it was the movement of the wind or the chirping of birds or cicadas, they did not make any noise and quietly waited for the arrival of the Embroidered Uniform Embroidered Uniform Embroidered Uniform Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Not long after, at the end of the road in the distance, a group of soldiers appeared. They were neat and tidy, and they wore embroidered clothes. On their waists hung a goose feather blade. It was the uniform of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The person in the lead rode a large horse. His eyes were sharp, and he had a body full of righteousness. Five long sabers hung on his back, and his aura was extremely thick. Clearly, he was an inner force expert.

. . . "He's here!"

On both sides of the road, many people of the pugilistic world who had been lying in ambush took a deep breath when they saw that the Imperial Secret Service had come with a team. They looked behind them.

They saw that in the middle and back of this group of soldiers, there were several soldiers in a tight formation escorting a prisoner carriage. On the carriage was an old man with gray hair and wearing a prisoner's robe.

"Father. . . "

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi subconsciously tightened their grip when they saw the old man's figure and the Long Sword in his hand.

Chu Yun's gaze landed on the leader of the group. In an instant, he shifted his gaze away. This was a completely subconscious reaction. After that, he immediately stood up and shouted at the same time, "Move out immediately!"

At this moment, the soldiers were far away from the ambush location. There was still quite a distance.

When the Fu sisters heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They did not know why Chu Yun was in such a hurry. This was a great opportunity that they would miss!

However. . .

When Chu Yun saw the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he knew that their ambush plan had failed.

That was a true expert. His martial arts had reached the peak of perfection, and he was extremely sensitive to the aura and killing intent of the outside world. The reason why Chu Yun subconsciously shifted his gaze when looking at him was because if he looked at him for a longer period of time, that expert would definitely notice his gaze!

Chu Yun had this kind of consciousness, but the other people in the Jianghu who were present did not. They had been staring at that expert and the rest of the people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In other words. . .

That expert had already sensed the existence of the ambush. His movements had also changed. His right hand, which was holding the reins, had unknowingly touched the edge of his cloak.

The reason why he kept silent and continued to walk forward as if he did not notice anything was that he was using the same tactic to counter attack!

And the facts proved that it was true.

Before Chu Yun spoke, that expert from the Embroidered Uniform Guard suddenly flung his cloak.

Rustle, rustle, rustle -

In an instant, hundreds of darts fell from the expert's cloak and flew towards the grass by the roadside. Each dart was shockingly fast and powerful. In terms of destructive power, it was no less than a bullet from an anti-equipment sniper rifle!

This sudden scene made the people of the pugilistic world who were lying in ambush in the grass instinctively feel an extreme threat. However, they did not have the speed to dodge at all.

Boom!

Right at this moment, Chu Yun struck out with his palm. The strong palm force in the air collided with the darts. The force exploded, shaking the darts into pieces. The scattered darts were thrown out, landing on the stones and trees on the roadside. It also pierced through mercilessly.

After the split second, the Fu sisters and the martial artists realized that their ambush plan had been exposed. They followed Chu Yun and jumped out of the bushes and trees. They came to the side of the road and faced the soldiers.

"What a good palm technique!"

The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yun, who was blocking the way. He said, "In the martial arts world, those who can withstand my 108 darts will not die. You are the first. "

"Your escort technique is also not bad. "

Chu Yun nodded and said, "It's very difficult for an ordinary martial artist to achieve this with just their inner energy. "0

"I am a member of the Imperial Secret Service. I am under orders to escort the offender, Fu Tianchou, into the capital. Who dares to block my way?"

Zuo Qianhu asked in a deep voice. He opened his hand and the Imperial Secret Service attendant beside him immediately stepped forward and handed him a heavy saber. With this saber in hand, Zuo Qianhu's murderous aura was revealed.

At this moment, the prison carriage stopped and was tightly protected by the surrounding Embroidered Uniform Guard. Fu Tianchou, who was almost unconscious on the prison carriage, saw that the prison carriage had stopped and looked around in a daze.

When he saw Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi in the distance, Fu Tianchou's body trembled and he said, "Qingfeng, Yuechi, why are you two here? Let's go! Zuo Qianhu is the number one expert in the imperial court. You are no match for him. Don't sacrifice your lives for nothing!"

Zuo Qianhu's gaze turned solemn as he looked at Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. He knew the identity of the two sisters. They were Fu Tianchou's daughters.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Qianhu said in a deep voice, "You can leave. Don't come back again. Don't come back. Don't come back anymore. Be a husband and teach your son. Be an ordinary person. I'll pretend that you've never been here. "
