Everyone wondered what had happened and drew their swords.

Nangong Wu also produced a pistol in her hand, her gaze following Bei Chenyan's figure.

He only went up a small hill, and after flying to the top, he quickly disappeared from sight.

"Push the raft into the river first, and you can cross first. If those martial arts practitioners catch up, you can leave first," Nangong Wu instructed everyone to cross the river first.

Ling Yangzi and Zeng Guanhai have not shown themselves, but they must have been following them in secret. They have been waiting for these people to appear. Bei Chenyan's sudden departure must mean that he discovered the whereabouts of those people.

"yes!"

The five men worked together to first pull the horses onto the raft, and then push them into the river.

The riverbank was frozen over, and fearing the ice was too thin, the three of them boarded the raft first, with two pushing from behind, while the people on the raft also used wooden sticks to push it forward.

"Be careful on the other side of the river," Nangong Wu instructed before chasing after Bei Chenyan.

The river is very wide, and people with average light-footed skills cannot cross it. It would be safer for them to go to the other side first, where they wouldn't be afraid of being ambushed by muskets.

Wei Yang felt uneasy. He took the AK off his back and hid it under his arm, while cautiously observing his surroundings.

But what they feared most came to pass. Just as Nangong Wu's figure disappeared, more than twenty people emerged from the other side of the mountain, each holding a musket.

These people were very agile; as soon as they appeared, they rushed towards them, their guns pointed at the people on the raft.

At this moment, the raft was only a little over ten feet away from the riverbank when they saw these people suddenly appear, and their expressions changed.

"Split up, everyone get back to shore first!" Wei Yang shouted, leaping into the air first.

These people have muskets, so they cannot stay together.

The people behind them also leaped into the air.

As soon as they left the raft, people on the shore opened fire.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." Countless bullets flew past their feet.

Wei Yang was in mid-air when he opened fire with his AK. "Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." A burst of bullets shot out.

He kept his finger on the trigger until he fired all forty bullets in the magazine.

"Ahhh..." More than a dozen people collapsed.

Adlin and Cao Li also drew their pistols and fired repeatedly at the people on the shore.

These people were carrying three-barreled guns, which could fire three times in a row. I thought I could kill them all and then steal the treasure.

They never expected that they would encounter Nangong Wu and Bei Chenyan's men, who were carrying the most advanced weapons. Moreover, Adelin and Wei Yang's martial arts skills were all superior to theirs, and they didn't even have a chance to pull the trigger a second time.

Adeline and Wei Yang flew back to the shore and saw that all twenty-six people had fallen.

Wei Yang concealed the AK under his cloak, drew his pistol, and shouted, "Cao Li, be on alert!"

"Yes." Cao Li quickly changed to a new magazine, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

Adlin also changed his magazine and, together with Wei Yang, examined the body on the ground.

"This kind of musket actually has three barrels." Wei Yang picked up the musket from the ground and saw that it had three barrels.

The musket they captured last time only had one eye and could only fire once.

Nangong Wu had once explained to them how to use a musket. After firing once, you had to reload the gunpowder and bullets, and then tamp it down with a tamping rod, which was quite troublesome.

Adlin also picked up a musket and examined it carefully. "It's obvious that this is an upgraded version of the three-barreled musket. I've heard the princess mention that there are also five-barreled and seven-barreled muskets."

"Wei, there's another one alive here," Sun Xunzhen shouted to them.

Wei Yang walked over and saw that the man had been shot in the right chest, blood was constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was barely breathing.

"Who sent you?" Wei Yang grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up.

The man could no longer speak, a strange smile appearing on his face. "Cough..." He vomited a mouthful of blood, his head slowly tilting to one side, and he died.

"Damn it!" Wei Yang threw the man down.

The four men examined the bodies on the ground together; none of them were alive.

Aside from their weapons, these people had no other items, tattoos, or marks that could prove their identity.

"Anyone with a musket is either from Changyang Temple or from Beichen Zhan," Wei Yang said.

"What should we do with these people?" Sun Xunzhen asked them.

"Get the bullet out first, then throw the body into the river." Wei Yang pulled out a dagger and began digging out the bullet.

Before luring Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan out, the identities of the Crown Prince and the Princess cannot be revealed.

As for the gunshots, those behind them would only assume they were the sound of muskets.

"Click!" Suddenly, the sound of a trigger being pulled rang out, followed by a scream and the sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground.

"Bang!"

The four men who were digging out the bullets all stood up at once.

The person who fired the shot was Cao Li, and the muzzle of his gun was still smoking.

"This person is hiding behind that big rock, secretly observing us. He must be in cahoots with these people," Cao Li said, pointing to a spot on the mountain.

Wei Yang leaped forward, landing in front of the man in two bounds. He saw that the man's brains had been smashed open and he had been shot in the chest; he was already dead.

He dug out the bullet, dragged the body to the riverbank, grabbed it by the ankle, and threw it forcefully. The body flew into the river in an arc, splashing water everywhere.

"Splash!"

About fifteen minutes later, they threw all twenty-odd corpses into the river.

"What do we do now?" Sun Xunzhen looked at the place where Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu had left, very worried.

"We'll listen to the princess and wait on the other side of the river," Wei Yang decided.

Nangong Wu always meant what she said.

"What about these muskets?" Cao Li asked.

"Take them all." Wei Yang picked up the musket.

Although these muskets could not compare to Nangong Wu's spears, they were still quite good weapons for the guards who only had swords and knives.

The sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance.

Wei Yang's eyes were full of worry, but he still turned around and said, "Cross the river."

If those martial arts people

Bei Chenyan chased the figure up a mountain. When the person found the road blocked, he had no choice but to jump off the cliff.

"Hmph!" Bei Chenyan raised his hand and shot out a hidden weapon, which hit the man in the back.

"Ah!" A scream echoed through the valley.

Bei Chenyan looked down at the cliff below, his eyes cold and deep, the cold wind whipping his dark hair and robes.

This person deliberately lured him away; there must be other people lying in ambush by the river, but he wasn't worried.

These people are no match for Wei Yang and Adeline.

He took out the binoculars he was carrying and looked around the valley.

At this moment, Nangong Wu also came up. "Who did you find?"

Bei Chenyan glanced back at her. "Kill him. He fell off the cliff. He deliberately lured me away. There might be an ambush by the river."

"I heard gunshots!" Nangong Wu's expression was also grim.

"I've found Zeng Guanhai's group!" Bei Chenyan pointed forward. "Let's wipe them out first before we leave."
