Based on Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun's previous speculations, it would take a few days for the prince's assassins to arrive here.

But there are exceptions to everything. What if Mr. Lin sent a letter through flying pigeons and sent the news to the prince earlier?

Or, instead of sending assassins from the capital, the prince arranged for assassins who were closer to kill them?

Of course, one thing is certain, the prince did not expect that they would arrive at Fengxi City so quickly, and he would not have let the assassins arrive at Fengxi City from the beginning.

Even if the assassins were sent around here, they would probably set up an ambush somewhere along the way.

Chu Shaoyun said: "I was just about to tell you that news came from the town closest to Anlu Prefecture, saying that they saw a group of suspicious characters, dressed as people from the world, but with temperaments like officers and soldiers. Listening to their words, it seems that they are It’s the accent from the capital city.”

He turned to the desk and picked up a folded note and handed it to Ye Weiyun.

Yan Ruoli looked over and saw that the content written on the note was similar to what Chu Shaoyun said.

"Is this the news from the flying pigeon?"

She found it very novel. The legendary flying pigeon delivered messages.

Chu Shaoyun said: "Yes, otherwise, the news would not have been received so quickly."

Just as he was talking, a "coo" sound suddenly came from the window, and a pigeon landed on the window lattice.

Chu Shaoyun hurriedly walked over, took off a bamboo tube from the pigeon's foot, fed the pigeon some food, and let it go.

He opened the bamboo tube, took out a note inside, looked at it, and handed it to Yan Ruoli.

It can be seen that she is very interested in flying pigeons to pass letters.

Yan Ruoli brought the note to Ye Weiyun and read the contents with him.

Chu Shaoyun explained to them: "This news came back from the contact point that opened a tea shack on the roadside about ten miles away from that town. The group was asking the tea guests for news about the exiled team. It seemed that they were assassins. Great sex.”

Yan Ruoli nodded and said, "Sure enough, it came faster than we expected. The owner of the tea shed has already followed our instructions and told the group that we passed by there about two days ago, and we have to make some preparations quickly."

Ye Weiyun analyzed: "It takes about half a day for Fei Ge to pass the message. This happened this morning. With the strength of that group of people, it would take two days at the earliest to reach our scheduled location. It is estimated that the night after tomorrow will be the time for action. It only takes half a day for us to get there from here. We will set off early the day after tomorrow to make preparations in advance."

Chu Shaoyun asked worriedly: "You really don't need help? There are more than a dozen of them. Brother-in-law, no matter how powerful you are, you can't beat four punches with both hands. You still have to take care of your sister."

Yan Ruoli smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as we are prepared in advance, there will be no problem with a dozen more people. We have the ability to attack from a distance."

Chu Shaoyun remembered that Ye Weiyun was an expert archer and guessed that they would set up some traps and then use bows and arrows to destroy the enemies.

Since they are so confident, there should be no problem, they just need to do what they need to do well.

The three of them discussed some more details, and Yan Ruoli pushed Ye Weiyun back to the Chu family's courtyard.

The next day, the two of them had a good rest and recharged their batteries to prepare.

In the meantime, Chu Shaoyun kept passing on the newly received news.

That group of people was heading towards Fengxi City along the route taken by the exile team.

The group of people had followed the guidance of the melon and fruit stall owner, abandoned the official road and took a small road to get on their way.

This was consistent with Yan Ruoli's speculation that this group of people was going to overtake the exile team and rush in front of them to set up an ambush.

Apart from them, no suspicious people from other capitals have been found yet.

The Chu family was peaceful, but the Xu family was a different story.

Xu Suqiu returned home happily with Yurong Wan, but she did not expect to be scolded by her father Xu Qingshu as soon as she entered the door.

"You still have the nerve to come back? Look at the good things you two brothers and sisters have done."

Only then did Xu Suqiu realize that his brother was kneeling in the living room in front of his father.

She was secretly annoyed. Did the Chu family send someone to send a letter in advance?Not even giving her time to go home and breathe?

She didn't even have time to talk to her brother first, so she complained to her father first.

"Kneel down." Xu Qingshu shouted angrily.

Xu Suqiu had no choice but to kneel next to Mr. Xu, lowered his head and said, "Dad, we are not to blame for this, it's just Chu Shaoyu's failure. He could obviously follow him to the study and monitor the Longqiao layman, but he wanted to read some rare books. Otherwise, there would be no chance for the layman Longqiao to tell the truth. Later, he was set up by the layman Longqiao to trick him out of his true words, and his parents heard everything."

Mr. Xu quickly said: "That's right, Chu Shaoyu is just a straw bag. Mud can't hold up the wall. We are really unlucky to have chosen him."

Xu Qingshu sighed and said: "Forget it, I can't blame you. It's a pity that the third young master Chu is too young and suffered from the disease early. Otherwise, it would have been better to choose him at the time."

Xu Suqiu stood up and pouted.

She didn't want to marry Young Master Chu. Although he was pretty good-looking, no worse than his elder brother, his eyes were too poisonous. Every time he looked at her, she was frightened, as if he had figured out all her thoughts. Average.

However, they had fallen out with the Chu family, so they didn't have to worry about her father betrothing her to Chu Shaoyun again.

"Dad, although I offended the Chu family, my daughter still gained something today. What do you think this is?"

Xu Suqiu proudly took out the small jade bottle and handed it to Xu Qingshu.

Xu Qingshu took the small jade bottle and opened it. When he saw two beautiful pills inside, he couldn't help asking: "What are these?"

Xu Suqiu hid one Yurong Pill himself, and only showed two pills to Xu Qingshu, fearing that if he took them all away and left none for himself, he would be in trouble.

She happily replied: "Yurong Pill. This medicine is miraculous. It can make older women young and beautiful. Tell me, if I use this medicine to please my aunt, will she bring any benefits to our family?" "

Xu Qingshu originally wanted to say, what is the use of this medicine?Why do you want a woman to become younger and more beautiful?If you want a young and beautiful woman, don’t you have a few concubines?

Hearing what Xu Suqiu said, he suddenly woke up.

Yes, looking at it this way, this Jade Rong Pill is really precious and very useful.

"Suqiu, you are so thoughtful. Your aunt has always wanted you to go to the capital, so you just happened to bring this Jade Rong Pill to her to avoid the limelight."

Xu Qingshu returned the small jade bottle to Xu Suqiu.

Mrs. Xu looked at it with envy and said, "Aren't there two Jade Pills? Can you give me one?"

Xu Suqiu refused: "I want to keep this one for myself and eat it when I get older."

Xu Qingshu pondered for a while and said: "Suqiu, ask your aunt to give this one to the empress in the palace. Maybe this will be an opportunity for our Xu family to flourish."
