Chu Huanyan suddenly shed a tear.

These days, she always felt that after seeing Xiao Jin, she would have a lot to say, but now that she really saw him in front of her, all the words seemed to become unimportant.

As long as Xiao Jinzhi is safe in front of him, that is better than anything else.

Chu Huanyan reached out and hugged Xiao Jinzhi, avoiding his wounds, and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

"Xiao Jinzhi, we will never be separated again."

Xiao Jinzhi hugged Chu Huanyan back, "Okay, never separate again."

As the two fell silent, the room became quiet, but it was the most peaceful moment for them in this period of time.

Even if the person in the dark has not been found out, even if they will face conspiracy and assassination in the future, as long as the two of them are together, they will feel extremely peaceful in their hearts.

After Xiao Jinzhi finished drinking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Chu Huanyan arrived outside the room and confirmed Xiao Jinzhi's situation to Shen Chi again.

"Your Majesty, the injuries on the shoulders and legs are more serious, especially the injuries on the legs. The failure to recover from the injury has affected the wounds. It will take a long time to heal. But..."

Shen Chi didn't finish what he said, and his eyebrows were filled with worry.

"But this place is not a suitable place to stay now." Qin Li walked over from the other side and took over Shen Chi's words.

This inn is really not safe enough, but the emperor is still injured. If he leaves rashly, if the wound is affected and aggravated during the journey, it will only be more troublesome.

But if we transfer people over, not to mention that it will take some time, and there will be too many people coming and the noise will be too loud, so it may not be appropriate.

Chu Huanyan understood what Qin Li meant. Although according to Xiao Jinzhi, the people who went to search the Wu family before did not recognize him, but those people may just be a small team sent, which does not mean that others cannot recognize him. out of them.

In other words, the assassins are on the shore at the moment, and since they are in Ming Dynasty, their whereabouts cannot be hidden much. This town is not a suitable place to stay for a long time.

"Have someone prepare the carriage and put some extra cushions on it. We will leave tomorrow."

Although he also feels sorry for Xiao Jinzhi, who is injured, but at this time, they cannot delay, they must leave as soon as possible, and they don't know how many people the secret man has, so it is best to rush to the nearest army, so that it can be considered Come down completely safe.

After hearing Chu Huanyan's order, Qin Li no longer hesitated, immediately accepted the order, and retreated to prepare.

But before dawn, a group of men in black quietly approached the inn.

On top of the restaurant only a hundred meters away from the inn, a man in black stood by the window and stared at the inn in the distance.

"Are you sure people are really among them?"

"Master, it should be right. We saw the guard in the portrait, and after careful investigation, we found that he and the Queen of Tianyi Kingdom brought a man into the inn. And..."

The guard who reported the news paused, and there was some hesitation in his expression.

"Tell me." The man in black said.

"Yes." The guard nodded and said, "Master, according to the information found, that person was probably brought out from the Wu family. Our people have searched the Wu family before and saw an injured person. It’s just that the small team who searched the place hadn’t seen the portrait yet, so… I don’t know if they were deceived into letting the person go.”

Hearing this, the man in black squinted his eyes, with a hint of displeasure evident in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

"understood."

"Master, do you want to investigate this matter carefully, and the Wu family..."

"Since everyone has been found, there is no need to involve other people. Remember, our goal is Xiao Jinzhi!"

"Yes, I understand. I will take people there immediately." The guard responded while looking towards the inn in the distance.

The wind blew up in the middle of the night, and the clouds obscured the moonlight. Except for scattered lights, the sky and the earth were dark.

In this silent darkness, a group of people approached the inn.

It wasn't until they climbed up to the second floor that they found that the original room was already empty and the people had left.

As night fell, a carriage was driving leisurely on the trail outside the town.

Chu Huanyan hugged Xiao Jinzhi and leaned on the soft couch. Shen Chi was also in the carriage to prevent any accidents from Xiao Jinzhi's injuries.

After receiving the report from the secret guard who rushed over that an assassin had indeed entered the inn, Chu Huanyan just nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"Your Majesty's information is really accurate." Shen Chi couldn't help but say, "But how can I be sure that someone will come over tonight?"

After the empress ordered Qin Li to prepare the carriage before, she quickly changed her mind and did not wait until dawn. Instead, she took advantage of the cover of night and quietly left through the back door of the inn.

At that time, he thought that the empress was a little too eager, but he didn't expect that the secret person would take action so quickly.

"I am not sure, but the current situation does not allow us to take risks." Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, who was still sleeping, or in a coma.

Even if there was only a slight chance that someone in the dark would come and kill her tonight, she would not stay. In this situation, if they really faced off against an assassin, they wouldn't have much confidence.

Shen Chi nodded, but the solemn feeling in his heart did not diminish because of his timely departure this time.

"Your Majesty, according to the emperor's physical condition, it will take us at least four days to reach the nearest military camp. But now that the man in the dark has discovered our whereabouts, he will definitely chase us. The danger is far from over."

"You are right, but I have asked Qin Li to send a message. The army will send people to respond. In other words, if we rush directly to the army garrison, we will need to survive for at least two days."

"Two days..." Shen Chi's heart was still beating.

I'm afraid I may not be able to survive even two days. Wait, what the Queen just said is...

"Why did the empress add the word "ruo"?"

What if we rush straight to the military garrison? What this sentence means is that this is just one of the options. Could it be that the empress has other plans?

"I don't plan to go to the army, or in other words, I don't plan to do it for the time being." Chu Huanyan said in a deep voice.

If they can reach the army garrison, they can naturally feel relieved, but the problem is that the people in the dark should be able to guess their intentions, so they will definitely stop them at all costs in these two days. Once they are really completely stopped and become a bargaining chip in their hands, even if the army rushes over, there will be nothing they can do.

Shen Chi thought for a while and continued to ask: "So the empress has already thought of other ways and places to go?"
