Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

I said: "I thanked the regent for my humility, so I accepted this rabbit humbly."

I took the rabbit from his hand. It was smaller than the rabbit the day before, and it didn't jump around. It lay obediently in my hand.

I asked: "The regent went to the woods again today?"

Chi Wanshen said: "No, I just took a rabbit from the eldest princess."

ah? The princess' rabbit?

Chi Wanshen: "The eldest princess hunted many rabbits, so I went to ask for one. Don't worry, the eldest princess has already agreed."

I said: "Then I will thank the eldest princess for my humble position."

Chi Wanshen didn't say much. After listening to what I said, he left. It really felt like he just came to give me rabbits.

I am the first group to return to the capital, while Ling Hengyuan, Qin Che and the others will not return to the capital until after today. They must have other matters to deal with.

Qin Che asked me to be careful on the road.

I laughed at him: "It's only a few hours' drive from the capital, so don't worry so much."

Soon, I stopped laughing.

Can anyone tell me what happened to this assassin who suddenly appeared while walking on the road?

Our group is all courtiers of Nanyang, and we are basically powerless. There are not many guards protecting us at the moment. I quickly sent someone to report the news. We are not very far from the place where the stronghold is set up. Qin Che will probably arrive soon. We can send someone here.

Meng Dong is protecting us from the front. Her martial arts skills are indeed superb, but she cannot be distracted from protecting so many people.

I took a casual glance and felt that there were about ten assassins who came, and they were well-trained, and they didn't look like people from the world.

My mind was racing, how could I delay Qin Che to come to support me.

While I was still thinking about something, I was suddenly pushed by someone and pushed out of Meng Dong's protective range. I was shocked in my heart, what kind of bastard?

Meng Dong was so trapped by the two assassins that he couldn't care about me. My vision was blurry, and I felt like someone was staring at me. I heard a voice: "She's there!"

From this moment on, I was sure that the assassin this time came specifically for me. It was good that I was firmly chosen for once.

But not at this time!

An assassin was very close to me, and the knife was about to strike, and I was pulled again.

"grown ups!"

Oh my god, it's all about illusion.

I knew I didn't hurt this kid in vain.

Yu Huanyi dragged me around, and he didn't know martial arts, so it was very difficult for me to lead him alone.

I said: "Go to Meng Dong's place."

Meng Dong is the safest around him, so now he can only drag him away.

Yu Huanyi reacted, but he was too slow. A knife had already struck us. Just when I thought I was going to be injured, Yu Huanyi pulled out a sword from nowhere and blocked the knife. .

Unfortunately, the sword instantly broke into several pieces, leaving the assassin stunned.

I quickly pulled Yu Huanyi away. Meng Dong had already killed two assassins with his sword. When he saw me coming, he immediately protected me. With a backhand sword, the assassin behind him also died.

I kept paying attention to the people around me, and I felt scared when I thought about who had just pushed me.

Yu Huanyi: "The sword needs to be modified."

Me: "...Do you still want that sword at this time?"

The guards were obviously at their wits end. Meng Dong had to deal with more assassins, and he was also injured.

At this time, I could only beg Qin Che to come quickly, and I wailed: "Qin Che, Ling Hengyuan, when will you arrive!"

Perhaps I was too tragic, but the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away. I turned around in surprise and saw a man holding a sword and slitting the throat of an assassin.

"The two people you called are not as quick as this princess."

It's the eldest princess.

She looked down at the mess on the ground with disdain on her face, and turned a sword flower in her hand, which did not fascinate me to death.

Behind her was Qin Che Ling Hengyuan who came in a hurry.

Qin Che quickly came over and stabbed the assassin behind Meng Dong through the heart.

Ling Hengyuan, on the other hand, held a bow and shot arrows with perfect accuracy.

The wait for support is excruciating, but the processing speed is quick.

In the blink of an eye, I was born again.

Qin Che dismounted and walked towards me and asked me: "Is Ah Ji injured?"

I shook my head and said, "Meng Dong and Brother Yu protected me very well and I was not injured."

Ling Hengyuan said on the horse: "I seemed to have heard my name just now, but is Aiqing calling me?"

I:"!"

Me: "That must be because Your Majesty is worried about the fate of his subordinates. If you have something in your mind, you will listen to it."

Ling Hengyuan raised his eyebrows, with an expression that he had already seen through, but he did not expose me.

The eldest princess: "Your Nanyang is really full of dangers."

Qin Che frowned, already displeased, and saluted Ling Hengyuan: "I will definitely investigate this matter."

The attack just now was too fast, leaving no one alive, and the usually calm Qin Che also became red-eyed.

It's just... well-trained, large in number, and those who come for me are spies. Who would do this to put me to death?

When I went to look for the things in my carriage, I discovered that the rabbit was missing.

I scratched my hair in distress. Just now, I just focused on running for my life and threw the rabbit away without knowing whether it was alive or dead.

I asked for some plaster from the medical officer who followed me and treated Meng Dong's condition.

Meng Dong was a little embarrassed: "Sir, I can do this myself."

I said: "How do you bandage one hand? I am not an ungrateful person. Such trivial matters are nothing."

Meng Dong continued: "My subordinate only has a flesh wound, not a muscle or bone injury, so he doesn't need such good medicinal materials."

I was too lazy to pay attention to her and took care of her wounds. I also put the ointments into her pocket.

Qin Che was still dealing with the surrounding matters and looking at whether there were any potential dangers. Ling Hengyuan asked beside me: "Did you find anything? In other words, is there anything wrong?"

Options appear:

"Someone pushed me"

"Nothing unusual"

I chose the first one, why should I file a lawsuit?

I said: "Your Majesty, during the chaos, the minister was kicked."

Ling Hengyuan: "?"

No, what do you mean by that gloating expression.

I continued: "That person must have deliberately taken advantage of the minister's unpreparedness and put him in danger."

Ling Hengyuan: "Have you seen who it is?"

Maybe he thought of my eyes, so he turned around and asked Meng Dong.

Meng Dong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who it is. The scene was quite chaotic at the time and I didn't see it clearly. However, I only know that the people behind me are all courtiers."

Ling Hengyuan and I looked at the ministers not far away. Ling Hengyuan frowned and rubbed the dagger in his hand.

I asked: "How will your Majesty deal with it?"

Ling Hengyuan: "I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. Let's chop them all down."

Me: "...Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe you should not act rashly."

Ling Hengyuan: "If we don't kill you for this matter, he must know that we have suspicions. We might as well kill them all."

I felt ashamed: "Then it would be better for Your Majesty to use his plan to lure him out. What's more, the man behind the scenes can mobilize so many assassins. It is conceivable that he is not a mediocre person. Your Majesty should think twice before making any move."

Ling Hengyuan said: "If I were like you now, I would have died several times already. My dear, please don't forget how your eyes were injured."

I said: "Of course I will keep this in mind. But there are also many important officials in the imperial court. If they are all killed, I am afraid it will cause a lot of panic. The humble ministers are naturally thinking about your majesty."

After hearing this, Ling Hengyuan didn't say anything, but just sighed: "I was also defeated at your hands."

"That's all, let's go back to the capital first."
