241. Chapter 241 The Overconfident Second Prince


Jun Mengyao is quite smart. Now that she has the outcome of the matter, she can connect the whole thing together perfectly.

If she guessed correctly, then the letter the young master wrote before must contain the marching route of the second prince.

Under normal circumstances, the marching routes of the army are quite hidden.

After all, if the route is exposed and the enemy comes to intercept them, they don’t even know how to respond?

Not to mention the second prince’s status as a prince.

Naturally, he had to ensure safety along the way, and the route was planned before being modified.

The purpose is to allow him to reach the border safely.

Jun Mengyao couldn't help but think in her heart that the place where the young master pointed just now was probably the place where people from the Xuanwu Empire were most likely to ambush.

The previous letter was sent to the palace of the Xuanwu Empire.

And Emperor Wu of the Xuanwu Empire would definitely not miss this opportunity to get rid of Emperor Zhou’s son!

You know, the Xuanwu Empire and the Zhou Dynasty were originally adjacent to each other.

So there has been constant friction.

In addition, Xuanfeng disappeared in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wu's daughter Xuan Ling'er was imprisoned in the Jun family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It’s not like Emperor Wu didn’t send people to ask for it, but there was no result at all.

No matter what, the Jun family is still in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is impossible to give face to the Xuanwu Empire.

However, one son and one daughter got into trouble one after another in the Zhou Dynasty.

If it were said that there was no black hand from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty behind this, Emperor Wu would never believe it.

Emperor Wu and Emperor Zhou disliked each other.

The previous friction at the border, coupled with such an incident, Emperor Wu also planned to avenge old and new grudges together.

It’s just that I have never had such an opportunity.

After all, Jun Haotian of the Jun family was guarding the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were also many masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even if Emperor Wu wanted to send people into the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could not find a suitable way.

So after seeing Jun Lintian's letter, he was already ready to attack the second prince.

Nothing else but revenge for Emperor Wu’s son Xuan Feng and daughter Xuan Ling’er!

At the same time, he did this to let his old rival Emperor Zhou know that his Xuanwu Empire was not someone to be trifled with.

There has been constant friction between the two countries, and there has been a confrontation over the border, so I can give Emperor Zhou a severe blow from other places!

Just two days ago.

The Emperor Wu of the Xuanwu Empire gave an order to the leading general Xuan Ye.

The best thing is to capture the second prince alive and bring him back to the Xuanwu Empire. If that doesn't work, kill the second prince.

After all, the second prince is still useful to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu has always loved his daughter Xuan Ling'er. If he can capture the second prince alive, he can exchange her for Xuan Ling'er.

Not only that, Emperor Wu also made a lot of preparations.

He knew very well that if he wanted to capture the second prince alive, he should not send out too many people, otherwise they would be easily discovered by the Zhou army.

So, Emperor Wu secretly sent only a few hundred soldiers, but these soldiers were very skilled in martial arts and had experienced hundreds of battles.

These soldiers ambush the second prince on his way to the border.

The specific location was actually the same as Jun Lintian imagined.

After looking at the map of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu chose the place Yixiantian.

One Line of Sky, literally speaking, means that there are high mountains and only one extremely narrow valley here.

There is no other way to escape except the entrance and exit and a road.

Is the best ambush location! At this moment, Xuan Ye was standing on the mountain peak on one side of the sky, looking down at the situation in the valley.

I saw the second prince leading his regiment of guards, forming several columns and marching continuously into the valley, forming a long queue.

Xuan Ye's lips couldn't help but evoke a disdainful smile.

To be disrespectful, he really felt that Emperor Wu was killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.

Although the Second Prince's three thousand guardsmen are quite large, in Xuan Ye's eyes, these people are not scary at all.

As a general of the Xuanwu Empire, Xuan Ye fought many battles.

In his opinion, these people of the second prince are just a bunch of rabble, and it is considered a compliment to say that they are soldiers and generals.

The second prince actually dared to lead people into a dangerous military area like Xiantiantian.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

Xuan Ye looked down at him condescendingly. He was still standing in a dangerous place, high in the sky, with hundreds of men ambushing him.

If you want to control these 3,000 Guards regiments, you can easily do it.

At this moment, in the Yixiantian Valley.

The second prince was riding a horse in the middle of the army. These guards were considered his personal guards, so they naturally needed to protect his safety.

There are people in front exploring the way, and there are people behind to help.

It is naturally the safest for the second prince to walk in the middle.

However, at this time, the deputy general next to him came over and whispered: "Your Highness, this place is too dangerous. If there are people from behind and behind, it will be difficult for us to break out." Get back quickly?”

The second prince’s lieutenant has also fought in the war, so he naturally understands that it is easier to get in than to get out of a place like Xiantiantian.

Especially before you are sure of the surrounding situation, entering a place like this rashly is asking for death.

And the lieutenant always felt a little panicked. Looking at the empty valley and the towering peaks, there wasn't even a bird flying around.

He just felt a bad premonition.

However, when the second prince heard this, he sneered disdainfully.

“What are you worried about?”

“This is the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. Who dares to attack us here?”

“What’s more, there is no one yet. It’s too far away from the capital, and there are only a few bandits around here. How can they dare to provoke us officers and soldiers?”

The second prince said, then reached out and patted the deputy general on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Although he also remained vigilant along the way.

But it is only for some unexpected situations.

As for what the deputy general said that someone would come to attack them, that is simply nonsense.

Such a degree of danger is not within the scope of the second prince's consideration.

Even if someone dared to attack them, they could only be people from the enemy country.

But there are still troops from the Zhou Dynasty guarding the border, and it is impossible for these people to rush over.

The deputy general next to him turned his head and glanced at the second prince. Seeing that the other prince was very confident, he could only swallow his words.

He is just a small lieutenant and cannot change the mind of His Highness the Second Prince.

But he also had to protect the safety of the second prince, so he rode a horse, slightly behind the second prince.

If there is danger, the deputy general can take action in time.

At this moment, the lieutenant's ears suddenly twitched and his brows furrowed: "Your Highness, why is there the sound of armor?" (End of Chapter)
