Jun Mengyao is quite smart. Now that she knows the result of the matter, she can connect the whole thing perfectly.

If she guessed correctly, then the letter written by the young master before must contain the marching route of the second prince.

Generally speaking, the army's marching routes are quite covert.

After all, if the route is exposed and the enemy comes to intercept them, they don’t even know how to respond?

Not to mention the Second Prince’s identity as a prince.

He naturally had to ensure safety along the way, and the route was planned and then modified.

The purpose is to ensure that he arrives at the border safely.

Jun Mengyao couldn't help but think in her heart that the place that the young master pointed to just now was probably the most likely place where the people from the Xuanwu Empire would ambush.

The previous letter was sent by someone to the palace of the Xuanwu Empire.

And Emperor Wu of the Xuanwu Empire will definitely not miss the opportunity to get rid of Emperor Zhou's son!
You know, the Xuanwu Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty were originally neighboring countries.

So there has been constant friction.

In addition, Xuan Feng had disappeared in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, and Emperor Wu’s daughter Xuan Ling’er was imprisoned in the Jun family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Wu had sent people to ask for it, but to no avail.

No matter what, the Jun family is still in the Great Zhou Dynasty and there is no way they would give face to the Xuanwu Empire.

However, one son and one daughter met with accidents one after another in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Wu would never believe that there was no conspiracy behind this by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Wu and Emperor Zhou had always disliked each other.

With the previous frictions on the border and this incident, Emperor Wu was planning to avenge both the old and new grudges together.

It's just that I've never had such an opportunity.

After all, the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty is guarded by Jun Haotian of the Jun family, and there are also many masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even if Emperor Wu wanted to send people into the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could not find a suitable way.

So after seeing the letter from Jun Lintian, he was already prepared to take action against the second prince.

If for no other reason than to avenge Emperor Wu’s son Xuan Feng and daughter Xuan Ling’er!

At the same time, he did this to let his old rival, Emperor Zhou, know that his Xuanwu Empire was not easy to mess with.

There have been constant frictions between the two countries, and there has been a standoff on the border. So I can give Emperor Zhou a severe blow from other places!

Just two days ago.

Emperor Wu of the Xuanwu Empire gave orders to the leading general Xuanye.

It would be best to capture the second prince alive and bring him back to the Xuanwu Empire. If that is not possible, kill him.

After all, the second prince is still useful to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu has always loved his daughter Xuan Ling'er. If the second prince can be captured alive, he can get Xuan Ling'er back.

Not only that, Emperor Wu also made a lot of preparations.

He knew very well that if he wanted to capture the second prince alive, he could not send too many people, otherwise he would be easily discovered by the army of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, Emperor Wu only secretly sent out a few hundred soldiers, but these soldiers were all very skilled in martial arts and had experienced many battles.

These soldiers ambushed the second prince on the road he had to take to reach the border.

The specific location is actually the same as Jun Lintian imagined.

After checking the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu chose the place called Yixiantian.

"Yitiantian", literally means that there are towering mountains and only a very narrow valley.

There was no escape except for the entrance and exit and a road.

It is the best ambush location! At this moment, Xuanye was standing on the peak on one side of the narrow sky, looking down at the situation in the valley.

The second prince was seen leading his guards, who lined up in several rows and marched continuously into the valley, forming a long queue.

A disdainful smile appeared on Xuanye's lips.

To be disrespectful, he really felt that Emperor Wu was using a butcher knife to crack a nut.

Although the Second Prince's 3,000 guards are numerous, they are not to be feared at all in Xuanye's eyes.

As a general of the Xuanwu Empire, Xuanye fought countless battles.

In his eyes, the Second Prince's troops were just a mob, and calling them shredded minnows was a compliment.

The Second Prince actually dared to lead his men into such a dangerous place as Yixiantian.

It’s true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

Xuanye was looking down at him from a high position. He was still standing in a strategic location, high up in the sky, ambushing several hundred of his troops.

It would be easy to take control of these three thousand guards.

At this moment, in the Yitiantian Valley.

The second prince rode his horse in the middle of the army. These guards were considered his personal guards, so naturally they needed to protect his safety.

There are people in front who are exploring the way, and there are people behind who are following behind.

The second prince walked in the middle, which was naturally the safest place.

However, at this time, the deputy general next to him came over and whispered: "Your Highness, this place is too dangerous. If we are attacked from the front and back, it will be difficult for us to break through."

"How about we retreat quickly before everyone comes in?"

The second prince's deputy general had also fought in wars, so he naturally understood that it was easy to get into a place like Yitiantian but difficult to get out.

Especially before being sure of the surrounding situation, rashly entering such a place would be seeking death.

Moreover, the deputy general always felt a little panicked, looking at the empty valley and the towering mountains, there was not even a bird flying around.

He just had a bad feeling.

However, when the second prince heard this, he sneered disdainfully.

"what are you worried about?"

"This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who dares to attack us here?"

"What's more, we haven't left the capital city too far yet. There are only a few bandits around here at most. How could they dare to provoke our government troops?"

As the second prince spoke, he reached out and patted the deputy general's shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Although he remained vigilant along the way.

But it is only for some sudden situations.

As for what the deputy general said, that someone would come and attack them, that was simply nonsense.

This level of danger was not even within the Second Prince's consideration.

Even if someone really dares to attack them, it can only be from the enemy country.

However, there are still troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty guarding the border, so it is impossible for these people to rush over.

The deputy general next to him turned his head to glance at the second prince, and seeing that the other party was very confident, he could only swallow his words.

He was just a small deputy general and could not change the Second Prince's mind.

But he also had to protect the safety of the Second Prince, so he rode a horse, slightly behind the Second Prince.

If there is danger, the deputy general can also take action in time.

At this moment, the deputy general's ears suddenly moved and his brows furrowed: "Your Highness, why is there a sound of armor?" (End of this chapter)
