After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Five days later, Xiao Jinzhi set off and began to return to Tianyi.

Because he was eager to return home, Xiao Jinzhi did not go with the large army, but chose to lead a small team to rush back to the imperial city first.

"Your Majesty, according to the current speed, we can leave Danyue's territory in three days." Qin Li handed the kettle in his hand to Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter waved his hand without taking it, and asked: "Is there any news from Huangfu Mausoleum?"

Qin Li nodded slightly, "The news was sent a few days ago, saying that Huangfuling Mausoleum has returned to Danyue Imperial City."

After saying that, looking at Xiao Jinzhi, Qin Li spoke again: "Your Majesty, do you think Huangfuling can really stop wanting to start another war after this time?"

"Although it was Huangfuling who took the initiative to provoke the dispute between several countries this time, he was not a fierce and belligerent person. He wanted to attack other countries. Even though he had the intention of unifying the world, he was more interested in pills. Yue people. Now that the war has failed, and a peace agreement has been signed, plus the grain and grass transaction I promised, I think that in a short period of time, he will no longer have the intention to start a war."

And to say the least, even if Huangfuling still wanted to start a war, the Danyue courtiers would not agree.

Listening to his emperor's words, Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that it has finally stopped, and your emperor can finally return to the queen."

Hearing Qin Li mention Chu Huanyan, Xiao Jin subconsciously curled his lips, and the longing in his heart became more and more intense. At this moment, he couldn't wait to return to the imperial city.

"After you have a rest, continue on your way. Let's hurry up." Xiao Jinzhi ordered Qin Li.

"Your Majesty, we are walking on a small road, followed by a mountain road and a steep cliff. It is getting a little late now. How about we rest here for a while and continue tomorrow?"

Although according to the emperor and their riding skills, there should be no problems even on mountain roads, but there is no need to be so anxious.

Xiao Jinzhi raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was sunset, but it would still be some time before it would get completely dark.

"It's not easy to rest here either. We must first cross the mountain in front and then rest."

"Yes." Qin Li responded as ordered.

Soon, the group of people continued on their way, with the sound of horse hoofbeats and towering mountains on one side and steep cliffs on the other. Fortunately, the mountain road was wide, so even if there were cliffs next to them, it would not be scary.

Just when they were about to reach the middle of the mountain road, there was a sudden loud noise, followed by a violent explosion. Before Xiao Jinzhi and the others could react, rocks shattered by the explosion rolled down the cliff beside them.

For a moment, the sound of horses being reined in and neighing could be heard endlessly. Although everyone tried their best to control the horses, the explosion happened too suddenly. Two secret guards were hit by the rocks and fell directly off the cliff.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Qin Li dismounted quickly to avoid the rocks and ran towards Xiao Jinzhi.

However, at this moment, arrows rained down from the cliff, and one of them came straight towards Qin Li.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinzhi immediately waved his palm, and the wind knocked down the arrow. But at the same time, another arrow shot through Xiao Jinzhi's right shoulder.

There was a violent explosion again. Qin Li and several other secret guards were shaken by the explosion and were unsteady on their feet. They directly hit the cliff next to them. When they came to their senses, the mountain road where Xiao Jinzhi was standing was , collapsed suddenly due to the impact of the explosion, and Xiao Jinzhi also fell straight to the bottom of the cliff along with the falling stones.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Li's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed to the edge of the cliff regardless of the arrows, but it was already too late.

When the man in the dark saw Xiao Jinzhi falling off the cliff, the random arrows stopped and he quickly evacuated.

"Guard Qin, Your Majesty, he..."

"Look, let's search under the cliff immediately!" Qin Li clenched his fists tightly, trying to control the panic in his heart, "The situation under the cliff is unknown. The Emperor may be fine. Take the time and we will go down to the bottom of the cliff immediately!"

The secret guards quickly started looking for a way down. An hour later, Qin Li and the remaining secret guards finally arrived at the foot of the cliff.

It was already dark. Qin Li and the others looked around with torches, but found no trace of Xiao Jinzhi. Only the horses and the two secret guards who fell off the cliff at the beginning were no longer alive.

"Does this mean that the Emperor is fine?" A secret guard looked at Qin Li nervously.

Qin Li pursed his lips, then looked around carefully in the light of the fire, and then he discovered something that made him very flustered.

"Someone may have come down before us."

Qin Li stared closely at the trampled grass around him. Judging from these traces, there were definitely more than a few people. If someone had descended to the bottom of the cliff in advance before them, or was waiting at the bottom of the cliff from the beginning, then the Emperor...

Qin Li's discovery made the other secret guards all pale.

Could it be that the emperor was taken away after he fell to the bottom of the cliff? Or maybe... the emperor's body was taken away?

No one dared to continue thinking about it. This sudden change made it difficult for them to recover at the moment.

After a while, Qin Li finally spoke again, looking at a secret guard standing beside him, "We alone are not enough. You should report the news immediately and call in manpower. The others will follow the traces left behind with me. No matter what, we must find the emperor!"

"Yes!" The secret guard who was ordered to deliver the message responded and was about to leave immediately, but at this moment Qin Li stopped him again.

"The news of the Emperor's accident must not be publicized for the time being. Also, have someone rush to send a letter to the Queen to inform the Queen!"

Now that the war between the several countries has just ceased, once the news of the emperor's accident spreads, there is no guarantee that Dan Yue will not have other ideas, or... maybe this assassination was Dan Yue's handiwork!

If this is the case, what happens next will be terrible!

The messenger left, and Qin Li led the remaining secret guards to search at the bottom of the cliff for a whole night, but still found no whereabouts of Xiao Jinzhi.

But the only good news was that at the bottom of the cliff, they met a group of men in black who were also searching, and a fight broke out between the two sides.

Although the opponent had the numerical advantage, Qin Li and the others did not get any advantage, but this at least showed that the assassin might not have found Xiao Jinzhi yet.

After searching the entire bottom of the cliff, Qin Li and the others had to give up and temporarily returned to the cliff.

The team that arrived after receiving the news was already very anxious. Under Qin Li's arrangement, they began to spread out to search for Xiao Jinzhi's whereabouts.

At this time, they no longer had to worry about whether the news would be leaked. The news of Xiao Jinzhi's accident spread almost as quickly as possible.

Tianyi, in the palace.

When Chu Huanyan heard the report that Xiao Jinxia was missing, she accidentally knocked over the tea cup...
