Prince Jing heard the rumbling of carriage under him. The carriage shook all of a sudden as the road was not steady. Prince Jing noticed it and found himself rolling in one direction. He wanted to stop, but found that he could not move at all.
"Alas..." Yun Shang sighed, worried. Then Prince Jing was held by someone. The person put his hand under his arm, pulled him back and rested his head on a soft spot.
"Driver, the road is bumpy. Walk slowly." The voice came from him. Prince Jing recognized that it was Yun Shang's voice. Yun Shang, it was his... wife.
His consciousness gradually came back, and many things came to his mind. He slowly remembered what happened before his coma. He remembered that he had hidden in the mountain with people of the Jingyang City and his soldiers, and hid in a cave under the guidance of the local people. After sending the common people to the village opposite, he and the soldiers hid in the cave. The army of the state of Xia set fire to the mountains. The cave was shrouded in smoke. Fortunately, there were some water and food in the cave, which was fine.
He was waiting for Yun Shang and her reinforcements. He didn't want to trust others at first. If it was before, he would have thrown over 200000 people to fight against the army of the state of Xia. Although it was outnumbered, it didn't mean that he would die. It was just because he trusted Yun Shang once.
She did come. Although he was unwilling to admit, he was thrilled when he heard the news that she came with troops. At that time, he thought Luo Qingyan, you were screwed.
But before she arrived, Liu Yinfeng found him. He was the target of Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng's visit to the Jingyang City, but he didn't expect that Liu Yinfeng would take more than one hundred thousand soldiers to chase and kill him. Liu Yinfeng took him seriously because of more than one hundred thousand soldiers. At that time, he had divided the guards in the Jingyang city into three groups, and he stayed with only fifty thousand people.
He quickly made a judgment. If he rushed down now, he would have a chance to win. It was just that the number of people from the state of Ning was less than that of the army of the state of Xia. If he took more than one hundred thousand people away to obstruct him, he would have a better chance to win.
With the help of local soldiers who knew the terrain well, even if Liu Yinfeng brought some people here, they might not be able to catch up with him.
But he made a mistake in the end. He had local soldiers who were familiar with the terrain, but Liu Yinfeng might also have some. What's more, he seemed to have spies from the state of Xia.
Every time he was about to be caught up by the Xia's army, he left some soldiers to resist, and then he kept moving forward with his men. The spy seemed not to fall off the line, and he was caught up several times on end.
Till he had more than 500 people around him, he had many wounds on his body but was trapped by Liu Yinfeng unexpectedly. He thought that he knew who the spies were. They must be the secret guards who followed the Xia's troops and reported to him the whereabouts of the Xia's army. The secret guards must have hidden the location of the Xia's army, so that he could not even notice the Xia's army. However, it was too late.
"Your highness, we are about to reach the Qingyan Town, which is not far from here. I have asked the hidden guard to book a room in the inn in the town. Shall we stay in the town today?" Her voice was brisk and clear. It seemed to be the little maid by Yun Shang's side, and her name seemed to be Qian Yin.
The voice of Yun Shang rang in Luo Qingyan's ear. "Well, you can go and make preparations now. It will take a long time to get the town after you pass through the Qingyan town. Although it's okay today, the journey is very hard these days, and the prince is not in good health, we'd better have a rest today."
