Chapter 1793 Died on the spot
It was not only Lu Peng who saw the person coming, but also Li Chengshi and his men who were lying in ambush in the dark.
When Li Chengshi saw the person coming and saw that he was fighting with Lu Peng, he was stunned.
"What's going on?"
His deputy general was also puzzled: "This... I don't know either."
Li Cheng had a good plan tonight, which was to capture Lu Peng and the people who were in contact with him.
He had been holding this breath for too long. Both Lu Peng and that "Shan" came from his military camp.
Although he had only been the city envoy for a short time, he was the city envoy now and had no other excuses.
How could he have the face to explain to the Prince of Zhennan and his wife after two people were killed in succession?
So this time, he must catch the person.
But if this person suddenly shows up and starts fighting with Lu Peng, will the contact person still be able to come?
Envoy Li gnashed his teeth and said, "Who on earth is this person? He is ruining my business."
The deputy general whispered, "Sir, why don't we go out and capture him? At least we can capture Lu Peng. If they all run away... or Lu Peng is silenced..."
Li Chengshi had no choice but to say, "Okay."
At this point, this is the only thing we can do.
He raised his hand and was about to give an order.
Suddenly, the man who was fighting with Lu Peng turned around and ran away.
Lu Peng was also confused. Although this man's skills were average, he couldn't be killed in just a few moves. Why did he run away in the blink of an eye?
He came for no apparent reason and is leaving for no apparent reason.
Lu Peng had a bad feeling. He didn't want to chase, but wanted to run away.
Although I really want to gain some results and go back to Shanghai, nothing is more important than my own life.
It's still important to save your life.
He wants to leave too.
At this moment, something unexpected happened!
The man who had just been fighting with him and was now trying to escape suddenly fell to the ground.
Lu Peng frowned, thinking it was a trick, and then he looked at the man again, who was twitching and spitting black blood.
He actually died.
Lu Peng felt that this was a conspiracy.
Although he didn't know what it was, he was already drawn into it.
Lu Peng turned around and ran without any hesitation.
All of a sudden, a signal arrow was heard rising high into the dark sky.
At the same time, Yan Ruyu was already a mile away.
She looked up at the signal arrow and her brows suddenly frowned.
Yinding also pulled the reins: "This is the signal arrow of the army. We clearly agreed to ambush and capture people. Why would Envoy Li suddenly send out a signal arrow?"
Yan Ruyu frowned and said, "Maybe there is some emergency. Envoy Li is not a reckless person. Let's go and take a look."
Li Cheng gave an order and the ambush troops emerged from all directions and rushed towards Lu Peng.
Lu Peng turned his head and his expression changed immediately.
There was indeed an ambush.
He quickly rushed in the direction with the least people, regardless of whether it was the way he came.
Li Chengshi shouted: "Catch him alive!"
Lu Peng ran as fast as he could.
But it is not faster than an arrow.
An arrow came whizzing towards him, and he didn't even have time to dodge. It hit him on the side of the neck and went through his neck.
He rolled over and fell.
Die.
Li Chengshi took the lead, got closer and took a look, then closed his eyes tightly.
"Who shot the arrow!"
The people behind him looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Li Chengshi looked back at his men, a total of fifty people, coming from two directions, all with swords, but no arrows.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and Yan Ruyu and his men also arrived.
You can smell the blood without getting off your horse.
When I saw the corpse on the ground, I knew something was wrong.
Li Chengshi's face turned blue with anger and his palms became numb.
He sent someone to deliver the letter to the palace, and he vowed that he could catch the man.
Now look what happened, the big fish was not caught and the bait is dead.
And died right under his nose.
How can I explain this to Yan Ruyu?
Yan Ruyu dismounted without saying a word. She came closer and took a closer look. It was Lu Peng. Half of his face was stained with blood and his hair was soaked in bloody mud.
An arrow shot through him, leaving no chance of rescue.
Yan Ruyu asked coldly, "Who shot the arrow?"
Li Cheng said in a dry voice: "Princess, none of my men have arrows."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him with a slightly cold look: "Look at the arrow on the corpse, is it from your army?"
Li Chengshi felt a chill in his heart when he saw her gaze, and quickly leaned over to take a look.
This look is even more terrifying.
"Replying to Princess, yes."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. She turned around and saw another corpse not far away.
She walked over and switched her eyes to look at the person.
No external injuries, poisoning.
Still a new face.
She asked again: "Is this someone from your army?"
Li Chengshi came over to take a look and shook his head: "I don't recognize this person."
Others also came forward to identify him, but no one recognized him.
"Then how did he get here? What was the situation at that time?"
Yan Ruyu asked calmly.
There is no point in getting angry when someone is dead.
Envoy Li Cheng described the situation again: "Princess, I don't know who this person is and why he suddenly appeared."
"Did you guys fire the signal arrow?"
Envoy Li also shook his head: "No, I have already ordered that this ambush is of great importance and is intended to capture people. You cannot bring these things."
Yan Ruyu tapped her palm with the whip: "This person didn't suddenly appear. Someone leaked the news and knew that you were lying in ambush here. They deliberately let this person come to confuse people. Even if the contact person comes, he will not show up again after seeing this scene."
"In addition, signal arrows and cold arrows are all used by the military."
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Envoy Li, your net is a bit leaky."
Li Cheng was so ashamed that he felt embarrassed.
Originally, Yan Ruyu was giving him face and comforting him by saying that mistakes were inevitable. However, everyone in the army knew what was inevitable. Once mistakes happened, it meant that the army was not disciplined strictly.
A small mistake can lead to big trouble, like what happened today.
Li Chengshi bowed deeply and said: "I am guilty, please punish me, Princess."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. It was too late to punish her. She had already failed tonight.
Even Lu Peng died, and there was no bait left.
Yan Ruyu glanced at the crowd and said, "The person who came with us today, Envoy Li, needs to be relocated."
Envoy Li Cheng and his men knew it very well.
The information must have been leaked because of people like them, and they need to be isolated and examined.
There is nothing to defend about this. Those who are innocent will be innocent and are not afraid of investigation. If there really is a traitor among them, it will be good for everyone if it is found out.
Li Chengshi said without hesitation: "Okay."
The deputy general also said: "We are willing."
Yan Ruyu looked at Lu Peng's body and ordered Yinding: "Go to his residence and see if there are any suspicious clues."
That's what they say, but it's probably not true.
Lu Peng is now like a frightened bird, so the fewer things he has, the better. He is also a sharp and cautious person, so naturally the fewer traces he leaves, the better.
Yan Ruyu raised her head and looked around, looking at the direction from which the arrow came based on the situation where Lu Peng fell to the ground.
Walk over there.
It was a field of weeds. Although it was grass, it was more than half a meter high. It was the original dead grass mixed with newly grown green grass. If a person lay down here, he could hide his body perfectly.
She paused and looked around, seeing the mark of a person lying there.
