Chapter 29 Siege

Seeing that the princess had made up her mind, Tang Ying hesitated.

He had to admit that what the princess said made sense. If the mountain was closed, it would be impossible to clear the way into the mountain for less than ten days and half a month.

"But……"

He was still worried that if something happened to the princess, let alone being scolded by Senior Brother Wen, it would be a problem whether he could survive or not.

"Don't let it go." Shangguan Li interrupted him, his voice very calm.

"Don't I have any companions?"

She raised her head and pointed at the officials who were about to start going home...

"I can just follow them back to Beijing. Are you afraid of any dangers when entering Beijing? Don't get me wrong. I'm not discussing with you. This is an order, do you understand?"

This even put the candy on the stick and the little scholar was stunned on the spot, and he didn't dare to continue.

Shangguan Li nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"You go back first, don't get in the way of this princess's eyes."

After giving in, Tang Ying had no reason to insist on anything, so she had to bow to Shangguan Li.

"The princess is careful all the way."

After Tang Ying left, most of the nearby carriages had left.

Shangguan Li was not in a hurry at all. She took out the handkerchief she had just used, and a fragrance similar to plants and floated out.

The smell is extremely unique in the snow and the grass and trees wither.

Shangguan Li calmly put away his things, and when the last carriage drove onto the official road, he followed him staggeringly with his own carriage.

It was snowing heavily, and it was almost noon, but the sky was as gloomy as in the evening.

There was a long team of horse and carriages on the official road, which was quite powerful and was heading towards the capital.

But if someone looks from a distance, he will find that the driver of the carriage at the end of the team is obviously very unskilled.

Not only did he not control the direction well, but his speed was also extremely slow, and he was thrown out for a long distance in a short while.

Shangguan Li drove around a corner and found that he could not even see the shadow of the carriage in front of him.

It's almost done.

She thought casually, and simply stopped the carriage and started talking to the empty front.

"There is a plain in front of you. If you don't do it, you will have no chance."

As the words fell, there was silence around.

No one paid attention to her.

Shangguan Li smiled a little embarrassedly.

"So it's an illusion. It seems that Feng Sichen is still afraid. Wouldn't it be better if this would have happened..."

Before she could finish her sentence, several light sounds suddenly came from the snow nest on the side of the road, and countless cold arrows were wrapped in ice and snow and lightning, shooting towards Shangguan Li.

Shangguan Li was prepared for a long time, rolled her body back and rolled back into the carriage.

"KaKa——"

Then the sound of metal as dense as raindrops nailing into the wood, accompanied by the shrill screams of the horse, the carriage unraveled!

At the end of the attack, Shangguan Li slowly stood up from the snow without any injuries.

Then, in the desolate and quiet place, dozens of big men in single clothes were suddenly seen wearing animal skins, each holding crossbow arrows in his hands and carrying big swords behind him.

These people were centered on Guan Li, occupying the directions where she might escape, and all the arrows ready to fire in her hands were aimed at her.

She was completely trapped in the encirclement of these people and seemed to have already reached a dead end.

Perhaps knowing that the victory of our side was decided, the leader of this group of people took a step forward and looked at Shangguan Li with a relaxed expression.

"How did you know we would set up an ambush here?"

Along the way, there are many places that are more suitable for sneak attacks than here, and Shangguan Li should not be able to guess their movements.

He was obviously surrounded, but Shangguan Li was not panicked at all, and even smiled in his voice.

“Is this a chance to live longer?”

The leader looked at her with a bad look and said coldly.

"Maybe it will make you die faster."

"Oh." Shangguan Li nodded.

"So Feng Sichen doesn't plan to kill me on the spot."

Since she had the opportunity to talk a lot, it means that the orders these people should have been captured alive, otherwise they would have taken action before she could stand up from the snow.

The leader's words seemed to be a threat, but instead confirmed her speculation.

After all, the premise of saying "death faster" is that she can survive.

Seeing that the loophole in his words was caught, the leader's eyes sterned. This woman was indeed not simple, and she could still maintain this level of calm under this situation.

But what if the most powerful woman is? I'm afraid it's still a bit short of trying to go against the one above me.

Thinking of this, he was not angry and admitted it openly.

"We really don't plan to kill you here, but if you are disobedient, it is not impossible for us to accidentally "miss" it." As for King Yu mentioned by Shangguan Li, they did not deny it.

At this point, it doesn’t make sense to act as an outsider.

Shangguan Li nodded: "This is the reason."

"Can the princess tell me how she discovered us now?"

To be honest, the leader is really interested in Shangguan Li's answer. He has done this kind of thing twice and has never been discovered by anyone.

He also enjoyed the confusion that could not be dispelled in his eyes before his death, but today he was seen through.

Or a woman?

Shangguan Li was silent for a while before speaking.

"You killed that fake Su Lin?"

Hearing this, the leader frowned.

"How do you know?"

Shangguan Li leaned against the broken shaft, his movements were very calm and freehand.

"It's very simple. I left something on him. You killed him and got that thing, and I just smelled it."

"Impossible." The leader stared at Shangguan Li and said in a deep voice.

"If it is true as you said, we will never be able to notice it!"

What they do is kill people secretly and are very sensitive to everything that may reveal their existence.

Not to mention the smell that ordinary people can smell, they will clean up even the inconspicuous hair.

After killing No. 14, they obviously didn't smell any abnormalities on them.

The leader's eyes slowly narrowed, and the eyes of Shangguan Li seemed to have been quenched.

"Are you playing tricks on me?"

Shangguan Li smiled and knew the tricks of assassination and the aftermath work clearly. Of course, she knew what he was shocked, and said leisurely.

"So you must be able to detect what I put, but I can do it. By the way, the time should be over."

What?

Before the leader could understand what Shangguan Li said, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly emerged from the depths of his body, and the flood swept across his limbs and bones in the blink of an eye.

Poison! The leader quickly wanted to bite the antidote hidden in his mouth, but he was desperate to find that he couldn't even move his mouth!

Shangguan Li's voice sounded coldly.

"You don't think I just left a mark, do you?"
