I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The sun was high in the sky, and dust was rising on the official road. Chen Jue and Chen Jia led a team of elite escort soldiers. The face of the King of Zhao in the prison car was gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with resentment and resentment. This time, the task of escorting the King of Zhao back to Kyoto was arduous, and they knew that the remnants of the King of Zhao would not give up.

Chen Jue rode on his horse with a vigilant look. He looked back at the prisoner wagon from time to time and whispered to Chen Jia beside him: "Sister, we have to speed up. We are still some distance away from the capital. The closer we get to the capital, the greater the possibility of an attack from the remnants of King Zhao."

Chen Jia nodded slightly. Her eyes were like lightning as she scanned the surrounding environment. "Ajue, I always feel like there are eyes watching us in the dark. We must not be careless."

At this moment, the road ahead was suddenly filled with smoke and dust, and a group of men in black appeared like ghosts, blocking their way. The leading man in black had a fierce look in his eyes: "Chen Jue, leave King Zhao behind, otherwise today will be the day you die."

Chen Jue drew his sword and shouted angrily, "You traitors, you still want to rescue King Zhao! You are dreaming!"

The man in black stopped talking and rushed forward, brandishing his weapon. Chen Jue led the soldiers to meet them, and for a moment, the sound of swords flashed and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Chen Jia stood guard beside the prisoner car with a dagger in hand. She shouted to the soldiers, "Protect the prisoner car. Don't let the King of Zhao escape!"

Chen Jue's swordsmanship was sharp, and every sword could repel the enemy in front of him, but the men in black were well-trained and had the advantage in numbers, and they gradually fell into a tough battle.

"Ajue, these people are not simple, they seem to be well prepared." Chen Jia shouted.

Chen Jue responded while fighting: "Sister, be careful, they are coming for King Zhao, you must defend it!"

During the fierce confrontation, Chen Jue discovered that the attacks of these men in black seemed to have a certain pattern. They always tried to break through from the side and approach the prison van.

"They want to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We should focus on defending the two sides of the prison van!" Chen Jue ordered loudly.

The soldiers quickly adjusted their formation and strengthened the defenses on both sides of the prisoner van. The men in black saw that their surprise attack failed and changed their tactics.

A man in black blew a whistle, and countless arrows suddenly shot out from the surrounding woods.

"Hide!" Chen Jue shouted.

Everyone looked for cover to avoid the rain of arrows. Chen Jia took the opportunity to observe the direction from which the arrows came: "Ajue, the arrows came from the woods at three and seven o'clock. There must be their archers there."

Chen Jue's eyes narrowed. "You take a team to guard the prisoner wagon, and I'll deal with the archers."

After that, Chen Jue led several nimble soldiers and rushed towards the woods. As soon as they entered the woods, they were blocked by black-clad archers.

Chen Jue dodged the arrows and rushed towards the enemy. The sword in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly cutting down several archers.

"Do you think you can stop me like this?" Chen Jue roared.

But the men in black did not panic. They fought and retreated, as if luring Chen Jue deeper into the woods. Chen Jue noticed something was wrong, but he could not let these archers continue to threaten the escort team, so he continued to chase them.

Deep in the woods, Chen Jue found a trap. The ground was covered with spikes and there were some strange symbols around. He was startled and stopped immediately.

"Sir, be careful!" a soldier shouted.

At this moment, the men in black hiding in the trees launched an attack. They rushed towards Chen Jue and others from all directions.

Chen Jue remained calm in the face of danger. He shouted to the soldiers: "Stand back to back, don't disperse!"

They fought a desperate battle with the men in black at the edge of the trap. Chen Jue found that although these men in black were fierce, they seemed to be deliberately protecting a cave behind the trap.

"There's something wrong with that cave, let's rush over!" Chen Jue shouted.

They fought their way out and rushed towards the cave. As soon as they reached the cave entrance, they smelled a pungent odor.

"It's the smell of gunpowder!" exclaimed a soldier.

Chen Jue's face changed: "They want to blow up this place to stop us from escorting King Zhao. Find the lead quickly!"

The group searched around the cave and finally found a fuse hidden in the grass. Chen Jue quickly drew his sword and cut off the fuse, thus avoiding a disaster.

At the same time, on the escort team side, Chen Jia was leading the soldiers to resist the attack of the men in black. Although they successfully resisted the rain of arrows, the men in black launched a new round of charge.

"Everyone hold on!" Chen Jia encouraged the soldiers.

She discovered that there was a man who looked like a leader among the men in black. He was directing the battle from the rear and did not participate in the battle personally.

"Capture the leader first. I'll go deal with the leader." Chen Jia said to the soldiers around him.

She flashed and rushed towards the leader of the men in black. The leader of the men in black did not expect Chen Jia to take the initiative to attack, and was slightly stunned.

Chen Jia took the opportunity to attack, her dagger stabbed at the leader like a snake. The leader quickly drew his knife to block, and the two of them fought in an instant.

"You little girl, you may have some skills, but you all must die today!" said the leader viciously.

Chen Jia sneered: "I'm just afraid you don't have the ability."

The two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds. Chen Jia gradually discovered that there was a flaw in the leader's moves. Every time he attacked with his sword, his lower body would leave a gap.

"Now!" Chen Jia saw the right moment and kicked the leader's lower body with a sweeping kick. The leader was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Chen Jia quickly put a dagger against his throat: "Tell your people to stop!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the men in black had to order to stop the attack.

At this time, Chen Jue also returned from the woods. He was relieved to see Chen Jia had subdued the leader of the men in black.

"Tie them all up and continue on our way." Chen Jue ordered.

The escort team continued to move forward, but they knew that the danger was not over.

After walking for a while, it was getting dark and they came to a small town. Chen Jue decided to rest in the town for one night and continue his journey tomorrow morning.

They found an inn, imprisoned King Zhao in a safe room, and arranged for soldiers to take turns guarding him.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia were discussing follow-up plans in the room.

"Sister, today's attack is just the beginning. The remnants of King Zhao will not give up easily. We must be better prepared." Chen Jue said.

Chen Jia nodded: "Well, we need to check the surrounding environment to see if there are any suspicious people. Also, we must ensure the safety of King Zhao and not let him have a chance to escape."

Just as they were about to act, the innkeeper came in with food: "My two lords, thank you for your hard work. This is the food prepared by our inn."

Chen Jue looked at the boss with sharp eyes: "Who are you?"

The boss was startled by Chen Jue's eyes: "Sir, I am the owner of this inn. Seeing your hard work, I specially prepared some food for you."

Chen Jia walked up to the boss and looked him over carefully: "Boss, have there been any suspicious people in this town recently?"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "Suspicious people? I didn't notice them, but there were some outsiders who came here in the past few days. They looked a bit fierce."

Chen Jue and Chen Jia looked at each other and became alert.

"Boss, please go down first. We will call you if we need you." Chen Jue said.

After the boss left, Chen Jue picked up the chopsticks and checked the food: "Sister, these meals are fine, but we still have to be careful."

After dinner, Chen Jue and Chen Jia patrolled the inn and found a stable behind the inn, and the horses in the stable were a little abnormal.

"These horses look nervous, as if they were frightened," said Chen Jia.

Chen Jue walked into the stable and checked the horse: "There are new scars on the horse, as if it was attacked by something."

They searched for clues around the stable and found some strange footprints. These footprints were larger than ordinary human footprints and had a strange shape.

"What kind of footprints are these? They don't look like human ones." Chen Jia frowned.

Chen Jue squatted down and observed carefully: "It looks like the footprints of some large beast, but it is a little different. There is something strange here."

Just as they were studying the footprints, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the inn.

"Oh no! They're the soldiers guarding King Zhao!" Chen Jue's face changed drastically.

They quickly ran back to the inn and saw a soldier lying in a pool of blood and the door of King Zhao's cell was wide open.

"Chase!" Chen Jue shouted.

They chased in the direction King Zhao fled, but found some dragging marks and some blood on the ground.

"King Zhao is injured?" Chen Jia asked puzzledly.

Chen Jue followed the trail and came to the edge of the town. There, they saw a shocking scene. A huge black shadow was dragging King Zhao into the woods. King Zhao was struggling, but to no avail.

"What is that?" Chen Jia exclaimed.

Chen Jue clenched his sword tightly: "No matter what, save King Zhao first."

They rushed towards the black shadow, which seemed to sense their arrival, put down King Zhao, and turned to pounce on them.

In the moonlight, they could see the shadow clearly. It was a monster that looked like a human but was not, covered with black hair, with red eyes and a mouth full of sharp fangs.

"What kind of monster is this?" Chen Jue was shocked.

The monster roared and rushed towards them, and Chen Jue and Chen Jia started fighting with it. The monster was extremely powerful, and each attack was carried with great force.

Chen Jue's sword hit the monster, but only left a shallow wound.

"Its fur is too tough, attack its eyes!" Chen Jia shouted.

They changed their tactics and began to attack the monster's eyes. After a hard fight, they finally succeeded in blinding one of the monster's eyes.

The monster felt the pain and attacked them more frantically. Just when they were in danger, Chen Jue found that there was a piece of white fur on the back of the monster's neck, which was different from other parts.

"Attack its neck!" Chen Jue shouted.

They concentrated their strength on attacking the back of the monster's neck and finally subdued it.

Chen Jue gasped: "What on earth is this? Who sent it?"

They returned to the inn with the injured King Zhao, feeling very confused about the incident.

The next day, they continued to escort King Zhao on his journey. Along the way, they were even more vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.

However, when they were still one day away from Kyoto, they encountered a new attack. This time, the enemy set up a huge roadblock on the road, and there were some people in strange costumes casting spells around.

"Are these people wizards?" Chen Jia asked in surprise.

Chen Jue looked at those who cast spells: "No matter what they are, rush over!"

But when they approached the roadblock, they found that the horses seemed to be restrained by some force and could not move forward.

"It's witchcraft. They are stopping us from moving forward." Chen Jue frowned.

Just when they were in trouble, Chen Jue suddenly thought of a way. He asked the soldiers to take out the bronze mirrors they carried with them and reflect the sunlight onto the wizards.

The wizards were illuminated by the strong light and their spells were disrupted. Chen Jue took the opportunity to lead the soldiers to rush through the roadblock.

After some twists and turns, they finally succeeded in escorting the King of Zhao to Kyoto. The journey was full of dangers and challenges, but Chen Jue and Chen Jia relied on their wisdom and courage to resolve crises time and time again, eliminating a major hidden danger for the court.
