Chapter 1512: Chapter 344: Chen 94’s Cunning Words to Deceive His Father-in-law (Part 2)

Wang Baobao pondered for a moment, looking at Huo Bima, said: ”How did the Prince know about the Commandery Princess’ matter?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Bima said: ”The Prince sent people to find the Lord today. As a result, they encountered the Commandery Princess’ escape, and then the person turned away immediately to report to the Prince.”

”This Anqing Prefecture is not far from Lu’an, I think the Prince is likely waiting on the Commandery Princess’ escape route.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao’s face tightened, ”Why didn’t you say so earlier.”

After saying this, Wang Baobao looked at Huo Bima and said: ”Huo Bima, you’re responsible for the aftermath. Personal Guard Camp, follow me.”

With that, Wang Baobao led the Personal Guard Camp away from there. Watching Wang Baobao’s departing figure, Huo Bima said to himself: ”Saying he doesn’t care, but in fact, cares more than anyone.”

Having said this, he immediately began his aftermath work.

At this time, Chen Jie, with the Vermilion Bird Guard, had left the area, riding swiftly forward, heading straight for Huangzhou Prefecture. To get to Huangzhou Prefecture, they must pass through Evil Tiger Ridge.

Earlier, Chen Jie had agreed with Zhao Ya and the others to meet at Evil Tiger Ridge.

Likewise, Chen Jie had informed Chen Xiaohu and the others to meet at Evil Tiger Ridge.

After traveling for about an hour, they finally reached a place not far from Evil Tiger Ridge.

This Evil Tiger Ridge had a large mountain, and on the top was a huge rock. The shape of the rock was very peculiar, from a distance, it looked exactly like a fierce tiger crouching there.

Because of this feature, this place was called Evil Tiger Ridge.

”Lord, ahead is Evil Tiger Ridge.”

Chen Jie looked at the dark Evil Tiger Ridge, feeling a suffocating sensation for some reason, he took a deep breath.

Calming his emotions down.

Wu Daojun looked at Chen Jie and said: ”What’s wrong, Lord.”

Chen Jie looked at this Evil Tiger Ridge and said: ”This place is dangerous. We’ve just been through a fierce battle. If we’re ambushed here again, it would be dangerous.”

Wu Daojun said: ”Should we take a detour?”

Chen Jie shook his head and said: ”Taking a detour won’t work either, let’s send a few people ahead to scout the path.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Daojun said: ”Zhu Zong, take a few people and go check it out.”

Hearing this, Zhu Zong quickly complied and led people to investigate. But after a while, they didn’t return.

There was no signal either, causing Wu Daojun’s heart to skip a beat.

He looked at Chen Jie, whose face was also grave, something was not right.

Thinking about this, Chen Jie said to Wu Daojun: ”Something’s wrong.”

Wu Daojun said: ”Investigate further.”

With that, Wu Daojun waved his hand and said: ”Zhao Zhong.”

Zhao Zhong responded with a fist salute: ”Yes.”

After that, Zhao Zhong also sent people to investigate. Chen Jie frowned as he watched the team disappear into the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge.

After waiting for some more time, the result was obvious, Zhao Zhong did not return either.

Wu Daojun’s face had turned very grim, he was now one hundred percent sure something was wrong at Evil Tiger Ridge.

But Wu Daojun didn’t know what to do.

Because Evil Tiger Ridge was the only path, and the Commandery Princess and her group had surely arrived ahead, they might be trapped in Evil Tiger Ridge now.

Thus, taking a detour was not possible, should they abandon the Commandery Princess?

But they had no idea about the dangers within Evil Tiger Ridge, and sending people in without any return was extremely perilous, leaving them in a dilemma.

Wu Daojun looked helplessly at Chen Jie and said: ”I’ll go!”

Seeing this, Chen Jie raised his hand and said: ”You don’t need to go, I’ll go take a look.”

Chen Jie knew that if it’s a blessing it won’t be a curse, if it’s a curse it can’t be avoided. Sending people one by one was an imprudent tactic.

With this thought, Chen Jie rode forward, reaching out to take a torch from a soldier’s hand.

Seeing this, Wu Daojun said: ”Lord, let the Guard Team accompany you.”

Chen Jie waved his hand and said: ”No need.”

Chen Jie declined his subordinates’ kind offer. Having them accompany him would only be a burden, and he would need to consider their safety, it’s better to go alone.

Moreover, in case of danger, Chen Jie could escape more nimbly.

So, Chen Jie charged towards Evil Tiger Ridge with just himself and a horse, carrying a torch.

Not far into the path, Chen Jie suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

Whoosh whoosh...

Upon looking, Chen Jie saw several people hanging from the roadsides. He hurried over and his eyes focused intensely because he saw one of the people hanging was Zhao Zhong he had sent in earlier, along with his group, all tied up and hung on trees.

Seeing Chen Jie enter, they immediately made muffled sounds.

Chen Jie gestured a Gang Wind, snapping the rope, saving them down, then Zhao Zhong rushed over in disarray saying: ”Lord, be careful, there is a master here.”

Chen Jie did not speak upon hearing, but his eyes remained vigilant towards the surroundings, secretly preparing the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, ready for action any moment.

”How did you end up hung on the trees?”

Chen Jie asked.

Zhao Zhong said: ”We were ambushed when we got here, our mouths and noses were covered, then were hung on the trees.”

Chen Jie squinted and asked: ”Did you see Zhu Zong and his men?”

Zhao Zhong replied: ”No.”

Chen Jie fell silent for a moment, then said: ”Zhao Zhong, you take everyone and leave this place first.”

Zhao Zhong responded: ”Lord, let me accompany you, better to have an extra helper.”

Chen Jie said: ”No need, they don’t seem to want to take my life now, or they wouldn’t simply hang you on trees.”

”Besides, even if they really want to take my life, your presence won’t be of much help, instead I’ll have to worry about your safety and won’t be able to exert my full strength.”
