Whether it was Li Ling or Sun Bi, after leaving Bingzhou, they were ready to encounter attacks and obstructions in the future. In their opinion, those guys who did not want Sun Bi to return to Beijing to succeed to the throne would definitely take action at all costs. The closer they were to Luoyang, the greater the resistance.

But the facts followed were completely contrary to their judgment. In the next few days, they did not encounter any trouble. Not to mention the interception and killing conspiracy like Bingzhou Youzhou, even a robbery had never appeared.

So, after a few days of running around, when the first month was about to end, they had all successfully entered the capital and were only about two hundred miles away from the capital Luoyang. If they really had to travel quickly, they would arrive in one day.

Many people were surprised by this situation, and some people speculated that the response in Bingzhou had already scared everyone else, so they did not dare to take the risk of being killed. Some people wondered if they were waiting to move too fast and had passed before the other party had arranged everything, causing the enemy's plan to fail.

Li Ling and Sun Bi obviously did not dare to be so optimistic. At this time, the two people sitting in the iron mezzanine car started to discuss the current situation again.

"I believe that Sun Lin would never give up like this, even if I go to Luoyang City, he would take a gamble and try another shot." Sun Bi gave his own speculation as a brother.

Li Ling also agreed deeply: "Yes. For him, whether he fought for the throne before or letting Bingzhou Luowu Pass attack them later, he offended you to death. Since that's the case, it will be a death in the end anyway, so it's better to fight to the end." In his opinion, the person behind Qiu Jun didn't need to be carefully investigated, and it must be the Yongwang Sun Lin.

Because judging from the current situation of the princes in the court, he is indeed the only one who still has the covetousness of the throne, and he is the only one who is qualified to take the throne legitimately after Sun Bi's accident.

Of Sun Bi's brothers, it goes without saying that the prince had already been killed. The charge of killing his father and ruthlessness had long been implemented. Even if he was finally killed, no one would support him in taking over the throne. Then the third prince, Jing Wang Sun Qi, refused the right to inherit the throne early in the morning. Li Ling had already known the details of this when he was in Youzhou.

As for the other princes, it is even less worth mentioning. Whether it is age or qualifications, these princes are too inconspicuous in the court. No minister will help them seize the throne. Especially when Sun Bi is almost sure that he is the new king, these princes who have no ambitions are naturally even more unlikely to attack him, as it will only make Sun Lin cheaper.

Therefore, under such a rule of exclusion, Sun Lin, as the only competitor to the throne, naturally became the only mastermind suspect in all assassinations.

Sun Bi had no objection to this and just nodded: "I think so too, but why are the road so calm these days? With his skills, the forces in various places controlled by him must not dare to violate the order unless..."

"As others thought, our behavior in Bingzhou really put pressure on those people, making them realize that relying solely on their own forces could not pose a threat to us, so they thought of cooperation!" Li Ling also thought of a point at this time and immediately said, "And, in this way, because we have not been disturbed along the way after Bingzhou, we will naturally become slackened. Especially when Luoyang is approaching, there will be no more guards, so they can calmly set up a killing situation and truly kill us."

This is exactly what Sun Bi was thinking at this moment, and his face became more and more serious: "If this is true, from now to Luoyang, any place may be where they attacked. Although it seems that Luoyang is close to us, the real crisis is closer."

"You must be fully prepared." Li Ling's eyes also flashed. If the other party really thought so, the danger would be right in front of him.

Li Ling, who made the judgment, immediately lifted the curtain of the car and rushed to Li Moyun who was following him and said, "You ask everyone to be careful and pay more attention to the surroundings. Once we are in a dangerous position, easy to attack and difficult to defend, we have to be more careful. Maybe a surprise attack will occur soon..."

Li Moyun naturally agreed and was about to pass on a message to the dozens of people around him, but the incident happened at this moment. With a whoosh, a cold arrow shot out from the forest beside the official road, taking the carriage Li Ling and the others were riding.

The official roads in the Gyeonggi area are much wider and flatter than elsewhere, but they are not too far from the woods on both sides. The cold arrows emitted by strong bows and hard crossbows are two hundred steps away, so this distance is naturally in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the angle of the arrow was quite tricky, almost flying from the blind spots of the surrounding guards. When they saw the reaction and drawing swords, they were completely out of time. In the blink of an eye, they came to the car window.

But the other party obviously underestimated the defense here, especially Li Moyun's skills. Even when he was rushing, he was enough to deal with such cold arrows, not to mention that because of Li Ling's warning, he was even more alert. When the arrow was about to touch the wall of the carriage, the cold light flashed in his hand, and the knife had quickly slashed, and it had cut it off and landed on the ground with a swish.

At the same time, the guards around them also moved quickly. The original military guards did not need orders and had already robbed them decisively and surrounded the carriage to guard against the cold arrows and rushing again. After making eye contact with each other, the good men in Youyun Village quickly rushed towards the forest where the cold arrows were fired.

As the gangsters who can fight against Gui Rong and Xiang Ma, they naturally have excellent riding skills. They ran with all their might. In just a moment, they rushed into the forest. Some people divided their troops to surround the other side, obviously they were going to attack from the front and back.

Li Ling and Sun Bi had already raised the curtains and looked at the forest over there. Their expressions were not too serious. It was better for the other party to take action at this time than to stay still. At least there was no need to worry and be unpredictable anymore.

But soon, they became serious again, because there were people coming out from the forest and then reported the result - the guy who was not found, and the other party fled at the same time as the arrow was released. And in order to walk faster, the archer actually threw his bow in place.

Looking at this picture that has been worn out and engraved, and is the most common eight-dove hard bow in the army, Sun Bi's eyes were deep: "Sure enough, there are local officials and generals who are used by him. Do you want to attack me next?"

Li Ling was more concerned about another point: "Looking at how many people should have been in the forest before?"

"One to two people, there will be no more than three." The brothers in Youyun Village are still quite confident in this regard, and can make accurate judgments based on the traces in the forest.

At this moment, Li Ling felt even more and more strange: "Is there only such a few people?" It would be too natural to think that they wanted to assassinate Sun Bi by just these two people? Even if they were archers, with the strength of Li Moyun and others, they could protect everyone well.

Gu Fei was outside the car and pointed his head: "We asked our brothers to see the depths of the forest, but we didn't find anything. It was indeed only those two."

Li Ling remained silent. He didn't believe that such a naive assassin would have tried to assassinate Sun Bi in such a childish way. It is said that if something goes wrong, it will be a monster. There must be a reason for this, and maybe it is a conspiracy.

Sun Bi also tasted something at this time and said solemnly: "Wen Zhong, do you think what should we do next?"

"Of course I continued to go to Luoyang. Maybe this is because they set up a suspicion array, hoping that we would delay our journey when we were suspicious. Just like the time in Bingzhou, we used this method to slow down our pace so as to leave enough time for the subsequent traps." Li Ling was quite decisive. After not thinking about the other party's real intention for the time being, he responded.

Sun Bi did not question at all and nodded immediately: "Then do what you said, let's continue on the road!" However, Li Ling next to him was still frowning at this time. Anyway, he always felt that something was strange about this matter. Something must have been ignored by him, and this must be extremely critical.

The chariot and horse team continued to speed up and walked along the official road, and soon bypassed a small hill ahead. Neither Li Ling, who was pondering in the car or the knights who were protecting the front, back and left and right, they did not deliberately pay attention to the situation on the small hill.

Originally, the hillside was covered with snow, with leaves falling and no changes, so it was naturally impossible to attract attention. But they didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes looking at them carefully in the forest on the slope, without missing any details.

After they had gone far, these guys wearing white fur coats who could almost integrate with the surrounding environment came out one after another. One of them asked solemnly: "Did you see clearly?"

"Boss, don't worry, we've seen it really, that guy is in the carriage in the middle. Just now, the fifth brother shot his arrow and the guard ran over immediately." Several brothers behind him said with a smile.

"Well, but this car must have done something..." The boss said and smiled again, "It's good that they must have thought they had made all kinds of preparations, so they would definitely relax, and then..."

Obviously, these people had known what their designs were, and they immediately laughed proudly there: "No matter how safe they are, they will never think that we will do anything there!"
