Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The gangsters staying on the mountain saw the smoke gradually dissipating, and guessed that the people who went down had put out the fire, and when they were about to disperse, they saw a group of people rushing up.

There was a huge disparity in numbers, and they were fighting against the regular Habayashi Army. These bandits were subdued with almost no ability to resist, and they were tied into rice dumplings and thrown in the yard.

He Zun asked the gangsters who led the way to take them to the dungeon where the people were held. They went into a cave with a lot of crutches, only to find out that the gangsters had used everything they had to use for the prison.

Seeing the visitor, Liu Shu was overjoyed, "My lord finally found the servant, um..." After speaking, he burst into tears.

He Zun cut off the chain with a knife, not only rescued Liu Shu and the others, but also released other people who were captured by the bandits.

In addition to the rich merchants who were arrested together with Liu Shu and the others, there were also a group of women in the dungeon, with scantily clad clothes, crammed into a cage timidly.

As soon as Liu Shu saw Li Xu, he rushed up crying, knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely: "Your Highness, this slave deserves death, and this slave lost the little princess."

The little princess was carried on the back by her father, and she poked her head out when she heard Liu Shu's voice, "Little Eunuch Liu, I'm here."

"Ah..." Liu Shu raised his head, looked at Li Xu's father and daughter in a daze, and then cried even louder, "Little... little princess, it's great that you're still alive, woo...I don't have to die , Your Highness, can you spare this slave's death?"

Li Xu kicked him lightly, "Wipe your tears away, what do you look like, forget it this time, it's useless next time, you can't even look down on someone, just find a belt and hang yourself."

"Yes, the servant must work hard to learn his skills, and will not disappoint His Highness."

Commander Lin walked over and blamed himself: "The last general is incompetent." He was really ashamed this time. As the commander of the Habayashi Army, he was caught by a mob and almost lost the little princess.

Li Xu was not as polite to him as he was to Liu Shu, and said with a smirk: "Commander Lin probably lived too comfortably in the capital, and he would make such a low-level mistake. If the little princess was not safe and sound, ten of you Not enough atonement!"

The little princess shook Li Xu's arm and said in a low voice: "Father, Commander Lin has been holding Shu'er in the water. He is too tired to make mistakes. Don't blame him."

Li Xu's heart softened, he patted her head, and smiled at Lin Zhao, "I hope that Commander Lin will be able to take on the responsibility of your commander in the next journey, and don't let me be imprisoned."

Lin Zhao wished he could dig a hole and bury himself, and promised with a blushing face, "Promise, I will do my best in the end."

"Okay, the gangsters from the mountain are coming up soon, and the next thing will be left to Commander Lin."

Lin Zhao was holding back his anger. When he heard that he could take revenge with his own hands, how could he not agree, so he immediately took over the command of the Habayashi Army and deployed them.

The bandits who stayed at the foot of the mountain finally realized that something was wrong. No matter how much they could sleep, they could not sleep until Rishan Sangan. A few young people ran into the village to check. There were no traces of wealthy merchants. villagers.

It was learned from them that the rich businessman and his party left in the middle of the night, fully armed when they left, but they didn't look like businessmen traveling north and south at all.

The bandit leader jumped up when he learned the truth, "Oops, turn the tiger away from the mountain, they must have gone up the mountain, hurry up, go back!"

When they climbed up the mountain in a hurry, they saw their companions tied to the tree. From their mouths, they not only knew what happened, but also knew that there were hundreds of people on the other side, which was not something they could eat.

"Brother, what should I do?"

"Brother, we can't shrink back. We have all our belongings on the mountain. If they are gone, we will drink the northwest wind."

The bandits who were rescued immediately retorted when they heard this: "Don't, don't, they are all murderous demon kings. They will definitely die if they go here. If they are dead, what do we need those external objects for? Brother, let's run away!"

"You coward, if you are afraid of death, go away by yourself!"

"Brother, it's true, if you don't believe me, go to the pit over there and have a look, the brothers will die with peace!"

The bandit leader also wanted to retreat, but when he saw his companion who was hacked, he couldn't swallow his breath, and if he just ran away with others like this, what would be his prestige as a leader in the future?Is there anyone else willing to sacrifice their lives for him?

He gritted his teeth and made a decision: "We won't go up the mountain, but we won't leave either. We'll just stay on the mountainside and wait for those bastards to come down. If I don't believe it, they can stay on the mountain forever!"

"Yes, yes, let's set up some traps, and make sure they come and go."

The Habayashi Army scouts sent back the news they had found and asked, "Commander, what if they don't come up?"

Lin Zhao has someone in his hands, but he is not afraid of this group of mobs, "Let everyone gather and rush down before they are ready."

The subordinate asked him: "Commander, do you want to survive or..." The man wiped his neck.

Lin Zhao hesitated. After all, he was not a general who was ordered to suppress the bandits.

Li Xu passed by and snorted coldly: "Why do you keep such bandits? This king will personally perform and kill the kidnappers in the name of saving the little princess. Ask him, what is his intention?"

With King Shun's words, Lin Zhao didn't hesitate anymore, and prepared to rush down with his troops.

Li Xu said coolly at the side: "Since you know they are waiting halfway up the mountain, why bother to engage in hand-to-hand combat, find some boulders and trees, and smash them to death." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away blithely.

Lin Zhao rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "This is a good idea, let's get ready, everyone."

Ye Changqing saw the loss of his adoptive father, and comforted him: "Father, don't be sad, Your Highness is unparalleled in wisdom, I can't wait for you, it is His Highness's idea that we can go up the mountain smoothly."

Lin Zhao couldn't calm down for a long time after listening to it, and afterwards he said to Ye Changqing alone: ​​"If Your Highness is still the crown prince, the people of the world will be blessed, and the Yan will be blessed."

It was also after this time that Lin Zhao completely changed his view of Li Xu, and privately believed that he was the best candidate for the crown prince. He was originally the emperor's confidant and a staunch royalist, so he couldn't help but waver at this time.
