Chapter 155: The Ambush Arrives
This escort run by Qingfeng Escort Agency was precisely the plan to lure the snake from its hole.
One Second-Rank Martial Artist, eight First-Rank Martial Artists, fifteen formally ranked Martial Artists, plus forty-four Quasi-Martial Artists as capable hands—He Han, leading the vanguard, had never fought such a lavish battle in his life.
He Han rode a tall, powerful horse, his gaze sweeping sharply across both sides of the official road, his eyes keen and alert.
CREAK! CREAK!
The wagon wheels rolled in sequence over the potholes in the dirt road, leaving deep ruts behind. The convoy moved at a steady pace—neither fast nor slow.
The escort convoy left Huishui County and followed the official road as it drew near the mountains, heading north. To the right was the “Sanhe River,” under Yulong Gang control. To the left stretched an unbroken range of mountains.
The only official road ran straight between them, leading toward “Liangshui Bridge” several li ahead.
“We set out at dawn. Those bandits should still be asleep in the mountains. Can they really reach Liangshui Bridge ahead of us and set an ambush?”
While they traveled, an elder rode up beside Yang Feiyue and spoke in a deliberately lowered voice—yet it could not escape Wangchuan, only a cart away.
