Chapter 1216: 594 Overwhelming Aura! (Two in One)_3

The ridges in the fields are impassable for carriages.

On foot, he could not outrun these masters.

The pursuers in the canyon ahead clearly circled around from another path, and the leader was Zhuang, the regent, wearing a cloak.

With the situation advancing to this point, the regent Zhuang couldn’t bother to hide his identity anymore. He removed his hood, looking at Xiao Hen’s carriage half-smilingly and said, "Xiao Hen, Xiao Hen, did you think you were the only one familiar with the Capital City’s layout?"

His ability to call out Xiao Hen’s name showed that he knew Xiao Hen’s identity.

Xiao Hen coldly lifted the curtain and looked through the dense night toward Regent Zhuang who sat on a fine horse, "Regent Zhuang, no harm has come to you, I trust."

"There’s no need for pleasantries between you and me. My goal today is very simple."

"Oh? Let me guess, is it to kill me or to capture me?"

"Capture first, kill later."

Xiao Hen turned around and looked out the rear window of the carriage.

Zhuang sneered, "There’s no need to look. Everyone who should be here has arrived. You won’t escape."

Behind them were over a hundred of Yan Country’s Dragon Shadow Guards. Unlike Zhan Country’s Dragon Shadow Guards, who wore masks, they donned black cloaks, with the hood covering their faces.

And in front of that group was a middle-aged man with an exceptional dress and towering stature.

It must be General Nangong.

Zhuang taunted, "I know what you are thinking. From the beginning, you guessed that Princess Xinyang’s plot had been leaked. You knew the people from Yan Country would seize the chance to enter the Capital City, and you also guessed that I would aid them. So you hoped for a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This is the only route to Wolf Mountain Camp, and you wanted to draw us into the Gu Family’s military sphere of influence. Gu Changqing is not present, the old Lord is recuperating in his mansion; let me guess, Gu’s second Young Master is waiting in the Military Camp for battle right now! Unfortunately for you, we hijacked you halfway there. When the agreed time passes and you fail to appear, Gu Chengfeng will come looking for you, but do you think he’ll find you?"

Xiao Hen pinched his fingers, "Regent Zhuang, there is still time to turn back."

Zhuang laughed arrogantly, "Did I guess correctly? Well then, let me continue guessing for you. Are there traps and Arrays set up in the canyon ahead? Even if the Gu Family’s army can’t get there in time, you could still decimate us within the deployed traps and Arrays."
