The prince is very cruel

Chapter 320

Soon, the two sides chased each other for seven or eight miles.

Relying on the complex terrain and trees, he managed to outrun the warhorse behind him and was not caught by Zhao Tai. This made Zhao Tai crazy and he kept cursing.

In about a cup of tea, Guan Ning, relying on his terrifying physical fitness and off-road ability, actually left the pursuers behind by a distance of 100 meters.

"Hu, hu, hu!"

He was breathing wildly, sweating profusely, and had no idea where he had run to.

I just felt that the scenery in front of me began to open up. It was not as dense as in the woods, which meant that cavalry and bows could perform better.

He continued to charge regardless of everything!

After all, the sound of horse hooves behind him was too obvious, which clearly showed that he had not shaken off the opponent. If he relaxed, the consequences would be disastrous.

But suddenly!

"stop!"

A few loud shouts were heard, and a large number of soldiers suddenly jumped out from both sides and surrounded Guan Ning.

Guan Ning and Tang Xiang'er were shocked and slammed on the brakes!

He instinctively drew his hand for the bone knife, but the opponent had already aimed the spear at his throat.

"do not move!"

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Zizhou military camp!" The soldier shouted loudly and forcefully. Judging from the armor, it was obvious that they were not Zhao Tai's men, let alone those of the imperial court.

Guan Ning breathed heavily, his face covered in sweat, and he had to raise his hands. Only then did he realize that the terrain suddenly became clear because there were troops stationed here!

There are military camps on both sides, as well as horse-knocking posts and watchtowers. I was so nervous while running for my life that I didn't notice them and ended up walking in by mistake!

He secretly cursed his bad luck!

He tried to mediate, "Sir, we are refugees and have no intention of offending you."

"Let's back out now, okay?"

"Listen to the noise behind us. They are horse bandits. They have robbed our property. Go and intercept them quickly. If you don't intercept them, they will charge in."

He spoke with such eagerness that it seemed as if it were real.

Upon hearing this, more than a dozen officers and soldiers looked at each other and their faces changed obviously, because there were indeed bandits near Zizhou, otherwise they would not have followed the Grand Marshal from the capital to come here.

Just when they relaxed their vigilance, a deep, powerful voice rang out.

"Oh?"

"Are there bandits with thousands of war horses and standard armor?"

The voice was slightly joking, and the soldiers separated, only to see a soldier in uniform leading a group of people. He was about forty years old, with a weather-beaten face and murderous eyes. He was a real soldier on the battlefield!

"Greetings to the Grand Marshal!" All officers and soldiers knelt down.

"Grand Sima?"

Guan Ning was shocked again. The Grand Marshal of the Wu Dynasty was the local leader who held military power. What kind of people did he meet?

He began to tense up, even nervous, and wanted to deceive the other party, which was obviously impossible. But when Zhao Tai caught up with him, both sides were from the imperial court, and once they communicated, he would be like meat on the chopping board.

At this moment, his pupils changed, murderous intent emerged, and he wanted to take action to fight to the death.

But suddenly, the middle-aged man looked at Guan Ning deeply and said, "Hide the person!"

"Yes!" His men reacted quickly and did as they were told.

Several officers and soldiers dragged the two away.

"Brother Guan, Brother Guan!" Tang Xiang'er was panicked.

Guan Ning gritted his teeth and was about to take action, but gave up in the end because he didn't feel any hostility at all. The other party said to hide, not catch.

He and the middle-aged general looked at each other, their minds full of questions.

“Gee, gee, gee!!”

Three thousand pursuers arrived in an instant, raising a cloud of dust.

The two armies faced each other in an open space in the suburbs.

"Go away!"

"I am Zhao Tai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. I have been ordered to hunt down the wanted criminals of the imperial court. Get out of here immediately. If you delay important matters, you will bear the consequences!" Zhao Tai saw the officers and soldiers of Zizhou from a distance and shouted.

But the officers and soldiers on the Zizhou side had no intention of giving way at all, instead they blocked the road.

"Hey!!"

Zhao Tai had no choice but to stop his horse.

He roared, "Can't you hear what I said, you slave dogs? Are you looking for death?"

The sound was shocking and carried the oppressive force of thousands of troops. Most people would have gone weak in the knees long ago, but the people on Zizhou's side remained unmoved.
