On the official road, two horses galloped away. Both of them were rare divine horses that could travel thousands of miles. Their legs were extremely strong and they ran like the wind.
"Phew!" Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao reined in his horse and stopped on a small path in the forest.
Lin Yuantu stopped beside Zhu Houzhao and said,""Young Master, what's wrong?"
There was no need to address him as someone from the capital when traveling in Jianghu. Zhu Houzhao had asked Lin Yuantu to address him as Young Master to conceal his identity.
The corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curled up slightly as he whispered to Lin Yuantu,""Yuantu has noticed that this forest isn't very peaceful.”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Lin Yuantu frowned slightly and slowly closed his eyes. He released his mind to sense. Indeed, there were many strong auras in the forest.
Of course, this so-called not weak was only relative to the general strength of the martial arts world. In the face of Lin Yuantu, who was a super expert in the late stage of the Xiantian realm, he was just a chicken and a dog that could not withstand a single blow.”
" These people are really audacious." Lin Yuantu knew that this was a good opportunity to show his loyalty. His face darkened and he snorted," They actually dared to ambush the Young Master on the road that he must pass through."”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said calmly,""There's no need to be anxious, Yuantu. We just need to wait and see. This Young Master wants to figure out whether these people are blocking the road to rob us or are they here for this Young Master.”
Lin Yuantu was slightly stunned. He nodded and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a different expression.
It was not a big deal if they happened to bump into each other, but if they really came for the Crown Prince, then the problem here was huge. The Crown Prince had just left the capital for half a day, and he was already being intercepted. The meaning behind this was not simple. If there really was a faction that dared to have any ill intentions towards the Crown Prince, then this faction would definitely not be weak and needed to be extremely cautious.
In this short moment, not only did the Crown Prince discover that something was wrong, but he also considered so many things without batting an eyelid. His meticulous thinking was far from what ordinary people could compare to.
In the capital, it was said that this Crown Prince was a good-for-nothing, a martial arts good-for-nothing, a lecherous, promiscuous, and a hopeless fool. Now it seemed that those who said His Highness was a fool were the real fools!
Not only in terms of intelligence, but also in terms of martial arts, the Crown Prince was not as simple as he appeared to be.
After all, even Lin Yuantu found it difficult to sense the enemy's aura hidden in the forest while he was charging at them.
This Crown Prince was definitely not as simple as he looked!!!
" Alright, Yuantu, don't think too much. Let's go over slowly and see what these people are up to," Zhu Houzhao said without a hint of worry.
Under his eyes, he could see the positions of everyone hiding in the forest. Even the strength of their Qi was clearly seen by Zhu Houzhao. Three second-rate martial artists and more than ten third-rate martial artists. Even if Lin Yuantu didn't make a move, Zhu Houzhao could easily deal with them with his own strength.
From a certain point of view, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were like an all-rounded panacea, even more practical than the Yellow Emperor's Internal Cultivation Technique.
" Yes." Lin Yuantu nodded slightly. The two of them remained calm and rode their horses forward slowly.
At this moment, more than ten people rushed out from the forest and surrounded Zhu Houzhao and Lin Yuantu.
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave behind the money to buy the road.”The leader was a burly man with a bare upper body. His face was covered in scars, making him look a little ferocious. His aura was the most valiant among the three second-rate experts. One look and one could tell that he was the boss of the bandits.
" Hero," Zhu Houzhao's lips curled up slightly." This little brother passed by your precious land, so it's only right for me to offer some offerings." But how many heroes do you want?”
"We're also thieves, so we won't make things difficult for you." There are nineteen brothers here. Each of them can take one or two thousand taels of silver to drink tea. If you give me thirty thousand taels of silver, I will naturally let you go.”
"Thirty thousand taels?" Zhu Houzhao looked 'panicked' and said hurriedly," Hero, aren't you making things difficult for me? How could this little brother have thirty thousand silver notes on him? Even if this little brother went bankrupt, he wouldn't be able to gather thirty thousand silver notes!”
The bandit's face turned cold and he sneered,""Don't play tricks on me. Do you think I don't know that you don't have money on you, but your family is rich! You stay here and let your bodyguard go back to get the money. Thirty thousand taels of silver notes. If one coin is missing, don't blame me for removing the parts on your body.”
"My family is rich…Hehe, that's true. The entire Ming Dynasty is worth a lot!”The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curled up slightly. He had already made up his mind and looked at Lin Yuantu.""Yuantu, what do you think?"
"Young Master, you already know that, don't you?" Lin Yuantu smiled.”
"Of course. Do it, Yuantu!”The smile on Zhu Houzhao's face slowly disappeared, and his tone was as cold as frost." Be more efficient!”
