Chapter 259 Night Attack
The fifth prince also joined in.
He nodded slightly and said sincerely, "Yes, yes, Taoist Yunshang, we did misunderstand before."
"You should have guessed a lot of the inside story. We, as princes, are not as glorious as we seem. All kinds of assassinations and frame-ups are commonplace to us. In this treacherous situation, it is inevitable that there will be negligence. I hope you will forgive me."
These words praised Taoist Yunshang highly. If Taoist Yunshang refused at this time, it would undoubtedly be his fault.
Even though Taoist Yunshang saw through the Fifth Prince's little thoughts and his mind was as clear as a mirror, he still had to give him face.
After all, the Fifth Prince is of noble status. If we offend him now, it will probably cause a lot of trouble in the future.
So Taoist Master Yunshang took advantage of the situation and said quickly, "I dare not, I dare not. I am also impatient."
"After all, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The opponent's methods are really insidious and changeable, and it is difficult to defend against them. I was anxious for a moment and lost my composure. I hope you will not be offended."
Both sides took a step back, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. It was no longer as tense as before, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.
However, everyone discussed it for a whole night, but the opponent's moves were too scattered and there was no pattern to follow.
Everyone tried to analyze it from various angles, but still couldn't get to the point.
Even though Chu Ci knew who the person behind the scenes was, it also made him feel powerless, as if he knew who the other person was but couldn't find his true identity.
This feeling of powerlessness is like being stuck in a quagmire; the more you struggle, the harder it is to extricate yourself.
Even the eldest prince couldn't help but wonder whether the information provided by Chu Ci was wrong?
But he also felt that Chu Ci had always been reliable, and he was conflicted for a moment.
At this time, it was already dawn outside. The eldest prince rubbed his brows and said weakly: "Forget it, go to bed! This prince is too tired. This night's tossing and turning really exhausted all my energy."
His voice was filled with fatigue and his eyes became dull.
The others were not much better. They all looked tired and listless.
Chu Ci murmured in a daze, "Tell me, are those people in the dark trying to tire out the enemy?"
"Although Zhang Pingping and the others came with the help of the people in the dark, it was more due to luck. Perhaps the people in the dark just wanted to use this to disrupt our thinking?"
The fifth prince and the eldest prince looked at each other, although such means were very low in their minds.
But both of them had seen Chu Ci's evil ways, so the eldest prince, who was about to leave, paused and said slowly: "Whether it is true or not, it depends on what happens next."
"We should not draw conclusions too early at this moment. We should wait and see how the situation develops before making any decisions."
But the fact is, reality often ruthlessly slaps the face of everyone who talks tough.
After the incident with Zhang Pingping, thugs, human traffickers, and the sons of officials who forced women to live with the people, etc., seemed to have made an appointment and came after Chu Ci and his group in various ways.
No matter? Believe it or not, within half a month, the entire Great Zhou will know that the dignified King of Shu and King of Qin did not save the dying.
Helplessly, they could only follow the intentions of the person behind the scenes and hide during the day and move out at night.
Sure enough, on the first night, Chu Ci and his party had just walked on the official road for an hour when the sound of fierce collision of swords and knives came directly into their ears like a sharp whistle.
"Here they come!" When the fifth prince heard the voice, he immediately gripped his sword tightly in his hand, with a serious expression and vigilance in his eyes, and shouted a warning.
The eldest prince also clenched his sword tightly, but his face was full of mockery. He snorted and said, "It seems that the second brother is very ambitious! He is so unscrupulous, and he is not afraid of bursting his belly."
Anyone with a sound mind would not respond to this.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage fell into an eerie silence. It was as if even the air had frozen, and everyone was silent, with different thoughts in their minds.
The more this happened, the clearer the sound of the swords colliding became. The crisp and fierce collisions seemed to hit everyone's heart directly, making people feel more nervous and uneasy.
At this moment, somehow, one of them flew backwards accurately onto the carriage that the eldest prince was riding in.
Since they had been prepared, this sudden change also surprised everyone present.
However, before the guards could react, a group of men in black with blood on their swords surrounded Chu Ci and his party in an instant like ghosts.
All of them had fierce eyes, exuding strong murderous intent.
The leading man in black shouted in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, hand him over."
The sound seemed to come from hell and was chilling.
Chu Ci in the carriage looked at this scene, curled his lips, and said with disdain: "It's quite good at pretending, but it's really unnecessary."
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking.
The man who had been seriously injured and thrown backwards onto the eldest prince's carriage seemed to have received a signal. His seemingly weak body suddenly stood up and jumped into the carriage without hesitation. His movements were as swift as a cheetah, and he stabbed towards the center of the carriage with a sharp blade in his hand.
His eyes were full of determination and madness, and he was determined to achieve his goal.
However, the scene he imagined of the sword entering the body did not happen.
At this moment, a cold and mocking voice came from behind: "Why, are you looking for me?"
The voice seemed to carry the chill of a thousand-year-old ice, causing his movements to freeze instantly.
Then, before he could turn around, a cold sword pierced into his body with lightning speed.
He only felt a sharp pain. The evil he had originally intended to inflict on the eldest prince was now being used on himself.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people could hardly react.
The men in black on the periphery saw this and stopped talking. With a gesture, all of them rushed straight towards the direction of the eldest prince like a surging tide.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is always cruel and ruthless.
The eldest prince dared to show up so blatantly, so it was impossible for him to be unprepared.
Then, with a voice: "Action——"
This command exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Handfuls of lime powder accompanied by sleeping pills poured down from all directions onto the black-clad man's head. In an instant, the lime powder filled the air and the smell of sleeping pills also spread rapidly.
Many of the men in black were hit, and their wails of pain and the sounds of people falling to the ground were heard one after another.
Some of them covered their eyes and rolled on the ground, while others fainted and collapsed limply.
The scene was in chaos. Under the night sky, the place was like hell on earth, filled with the atmosphere of despair and fear.
