In the early morning, two carriages walked slowly on a wide country road. Both sides of the road were surrounded by endless woods, which was quiet and remote.

The first carriage was low-key and luxurious, and it was obvious that the people sitting in it were either rich or noble. The second carriage was a little more ordinary. There were two people sitting in front of each carriage, one was a coachman wearing a bamboo hat, and the other was a maid in ordinary clothes.

Their goal is Zhanzhou, and this country road is the only way to Zhanzhou.

The breeze blows, and a few leaves fall down from time to time.

Not far ahead, there was a group of men in black hiding in the silent woods. They squatted on the ground and waited quietly for the arrival of the carriage. They all held a sword tightly in their hands on the ground.

The carriage is getting closer and closer...

"Beep——"

Suddenly, following the leader's whistle, people in black jumped out of the woods, surrounded the carriage, and pointed their swords directly at the carriage.

"Uu——"

The road was blocked, and the coachman quickly stopped the carriage, looked up at the group of men in black, and asked.

"Who doesn't know how to block the road?"

The leader of the men in black smiled coldly, "The person who takes your life!"

Hearing this, the maid in front stood up, pointed her finger at them, and said angrily: "How audacious! Do you know who is sitting in the car? The person inside is the second lady of the Su family! Get out of here!"

The people in black looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahaha! I'm angry!"

"You still told us to get lost~"

The leader was even more disdainful, "What we want is your young lady's life!"

Their purpose today is to assassinate Su Xiang.

The superiors also told them to pay attention to the fact that there might be experts protecting Su Xiang. But now they saw that they were just useless servants and maids, not worth mentioning.

The maid's eyes widened and she seemed to be frightened. She stepped back and put her hands on the seat, "What?!"

The next moment, the leader stopped talking nonsense and gave an order with a wave of his right hand, "Go! Leave no one behind!"

The men in black ran towards the carriage with weapons in hand, with an eye on winning.

The first man in black who jumped on the carriage sneered and swung his sword to kill two people. Suddenly he felt a pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw a sharp sword stuck in his chest, and the sword holder was the maid who seemed to be scared just now.

Then, the maid pulled out her sword, turned around and kicked him off the carriage.

Before the two men in black could react, the coachman wearing a bamboo hat jumped out of the car, and in the blink of an eye, he snatched their weapons and wiped their necks.

Almost instantly, three people were killed.

The leader then realized something was wrong and frowned, "What's going on?!"

Before he could think about it, a dozen more people jumped out of the two carriages, and they all had the smell of battle-hardened blood on their bodies!

Only then did the leader of the men in black realize that he had underestimated his enemy.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

In less than half an hour, Gao Lan, Lin Qi and others had almost wiped out more than twenty men in black, leaving only the leader in black alive.

Gao Lan stood up with his sword drawn, wiped the blood spattered on his face, and snorted coldly: "What a bunch of guys looking for death."

Lin Qi directly cut off the black-clothed leader's hands and feet, then pinched his neck, lifted him up, and asked with murderous intent: "Who sent you here?"

The black-clothed leader was strangled by the neck and hung in mid-air, almost out of breath. His face turned red from pain and his head was buzzing.

Even so, he said nothing.

Lin Qi simply changed the question: "Did King Yi send you to kill the second lady?"

Upon hearing "King Yi", the leader in black's expression changed, and he quickly covered him up, only humming in pain.

"Ho...ho..."

It's just that the change of the leader in black failed to escape the eyes of Lin Qi and Gao Lan.

Gao Lan gritted his teeth, "It's indeed him! It's so hateful!"

Lin Qi got the answer he wanted and stopped talking nonsense. He used his hands to crush the black-clothed leader's neck and threw his body aside like garbage.

Gao Lan unconsciously touched his neck, "Lin Qi, why do I think you are angry?"

Lin Qi stared at the corpses on the ground gloomily, "It is not a pity for these people to die."

If the second lady and the young master hadn't been cautious and planned in advance, they might have been passive today, and some people might even have been killed by these people!

Thinking that Qingyun might also be harmed, Lin Qi felt extremely angry!

Gao Lan sighed, stopped looking at him, looked up into the distance, and murmured: "I don't know what's going on with the lady..."

Kyoto, Prince Yi's Mansion.

Xiao Mo didn't know that all the killers he sent out had been killed. At this moment, he was sitting in the study with his head down dealing with things.

Not long after, Su Wan came in with Hong Xiu. After Hong Xiu put a pot of tea on the desk, Su Wan said softly.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Xiao Mo happened to be a little tired and planned to take a rest. When he looked up and saw Su Wan, his eyes changed slightly.

"How did you come?"

Su Wan smiled gently, "I heard that the prince is very hardworking, so I specially cooked a pot of snow-topped greenery and brought it to you to try."

"I see……"

Xiao Mo lowered his head and looked at the tea on the desk, his expression slightly relaxed.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but remember that before he and Wan'er were together, she would often make tea for him to taste. Wan'er at that time really moved his heart.

After they got married, their relationship was not as good as before, and they quarreled from time to time. Now that Wan'er is pregnant, he can't go and see her all the time. Unexpectedly, she is still thinking about him.

Xiao Mo stood up, came over in a few steps, and helped Su Wan sit on the small couch not far away, with a gentle face.

"I'm sorry for you. You're still thinking about me even though you're pregnant. Sit down quickly and don't be tired."

Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled without showing her teeth.

She figured it out. Even if Xiao Mo is unreliable, you must please him properly before using your child to stabilize your position.

"I'm not tired. I have nothing to do every day, so I can only make tea and enjoy the flowers. This tea was given by you, but the water in it is spring water in the mountains, and it tastes quite different. Try it. "

"Okay, I'll try."

Xiao Mo nodded, and after sitting back, Hong Xiu, who was standing beside him, quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Mo.

"Your Majesty, please have tea."

Xiao Mo took a few sips of the tea and praised it greatly, "It's refreshing and pleasant, with a sweet aftertaste. It's really good."

Su Wanqiao smiled beautifully.

The two chatted, and Xiao Mo finished the cup of tea in a short while, and Hong Xiu quickly added another cup.

Seeing that the two of them still wanted to chat, Hongxiu asked Su Wan in a low voice, "Madam, how about I go bring you some snacks?"

Su Wan was very satisfied with Hongxiu's cleverness and nodded.

"Go."

"Yes."

Hongxiu lowered her head and left the study. After leaving the study, she glanced behind her slightly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and left without looking back.

Xiao Mo and Xiao Mo were chatting and talking about preparations for the future, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

Suddenly, a mouthful of sweet blood welled up in Xiao Mo's throat, and a stinging pain spread from his heart. He subconsciously covered his chest, and then he fell down on the desk because of pain.

"Well!"

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling stream of blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Mo's mouth.

"Ahhh!" Su Wan was so frightened that she stood up, covered her mouth and screamed.

Xiao Mo vomited another mouthful of blood and felt chilled all over, "It's poisonous!"
