"Master Yulang, what exactly are you going to do?"

Yuzhi really didn't notice anything unusual, but she was indeed worried about letting Xie Yulang stay in the house any longer.

She said in a deep voice: "If there is nothing else, please leave."

Xie Yulang just looked up at Yuzhi and turned to go out of the house.

Yuzhi was very confused. She turned around and looked at the bed again. Indeed, nothing had happened.

Maybe Xie Yulang was just curious about what the wedding venue looked like?

Yuzhi didn't think any more and walked out quickly. Xie Yulang had already left Wangchunyuan.

She frowned, still feeling a little uneasy.

When he rushed back to the East Court to report, he took the initiative to tell Jiang Li about this matter.

“I don’t know what Master Yulang is going to do. He just glanced at the bed in the room and then left.”

"Bed?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately remembered the two medicines that Xie Yulang had obtained a few days ago.

I guess Xie Yulang wants to put the medicine directly into the bedding?

"Yes."

Yuzhi nodded, still looking confused.

"I have carefully checked the bed and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Then don't worry about it anymore. Just continue with the arrangements at the mansion."

Jiang Li raised the corners of her lips slightly. It wouldn't matter if Xie Yulang didn't drug her. Xie Jun and Xiao Yan's wedding would definitely be a lively one anyway.

Yuzhi took the order and continued to get busy. The convoy that had gone out of the capital to purchase goods from all over the place had already returned at such a high speed.

Wangchunyuan is just the beginning, the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion is the main part.

Time waits for no one.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of July, and heavy rain was falling in Kyoto.

It happened to be Ghost Festival, and the sky was gloomy and dark all day.

Outside Kyoto, a carriage came galloping.

But before they reached the Ten-Li Pavilion, they were forcibly blocked from the road.

"My dear friends, my master is a nobleman in the capital. He has been practicing in the temple for many years. There is no money or property in the carriage. If you are willing to make way for him, he will be rewarded handsomely when he returns to the capital."

The coachman wiped the rain off his face and looked at the dozen or so people dressed as bandits who were blocking the carriage.

He put on a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.

I knew I would be ambushed when I returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect it would be so open and aboveboard.

He dared to pretend to be a bandit outside Kyoto, and he was unwilling to even try to cover it up.

If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Yongning gave him a lot of money, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.

Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Whether I live or die today depends entirely on God's will.

"Haha what a joke!"

The leading man shook off the rain water on his knife and pointed it at the groom.

"Since your master is a noble, I cannot let you leave!"

He shouted, "Get everyone in the carriage out immediately, and maybe I can leave you with a whole body!"

The imperial concubine's order was to root out the problem completely, so whether it was the Marquis of Yongning in the carriage or the coachman driving the carriage.

Even if the two of them had extraordinary abilities, they would still have no way out when facing more than a dozen of us.

"master……"

The groom's throat was disturbed and his hands holding the reins trembled slightly.

He leaned back a little and whispered, "With fourteen people, we are no match for them."

Each of them could cut them into more than eight pieces with one sword.

The navy blue car curtain moved, and an umbrella came out from behind it and opened.

Then a middle-aged man walked out of the carriage.

He was about forty years old, with a face as handsome as jade.

His eyebrows were long and narrow, his eyes were slightly narrow, and he had a beautiful beard.

He only tied his hair with a long black scarf on his head, and wore a gray and black robe with navy blue interspersed, which made his figure look even taller.

He was holding a green umbrella, and from a distance he did look a bit like an immortal.

"Who sent you here?"

Yongning Marquis Xie Xingjing frowned and glanced at the group of "bandits".

He said sternly: "I am the Marquis of Yongning. How dare your master stop me?"

"Humph! You are about to die and yet you are still talking nonsense!"

The leader's heart skipped a beat. He never thought that Xie Xingjing could have guessed their origins.

But what does it matter if they know? No one will know after he is killed.

"Go ahead and kill him!"

He raised his long sword and rushed forward first.

Xie Xingjing is just an elegant scholar who looks frail.

A few chops from him, no matter who he is, he will be reduced to bones!

"!"

The groom's pupils widened, even though he had followed Xie Xingjing for many years and had encountered many dangerous situations.

However, this was the first time that he actually faced the swords of bandits.

He subconsciously loosened his hands on the reins, and the horse suddenly became uncontrollable and rushed towards the bandits with a roar.

"what!"

The bandits were frightened by the reckless carriage and scattered in all directions, and they actually created a path.

"Come on!"

The bandit who was almost trampled by the horse looked gloomy and immediately chased after it.

Even if a frightened horse runs as fast as it can, it cannot run far because it is carrying a carriage.

Sure enough, I saw the Ten-Li Long Pavilion in the distance.

The frightened and mad horses stopped, and the bandits chased after them.

There was no village in front and no shop behind, and it was raining and there were no other pedestrians on the road.

Xie Xingjing can't escape any mistake now!

"Run! See where you can run!"

The bandit cursed fiercely, and the sword in his hand did not stop at all, and he chopped straight towards Xie Xingjing.

"when!"

The knife failed to cut down, but instead an arrow flew towards him from somewhere unknown.

The bandits were like lambs in a sheepfold, with no chance of escape, and one of them was hit by several arrows.

Outside the carriage, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and a large area of ​​land was dyed red in the heavy rain.

Xie Xingjing and the coachman in the carriage were not spared either. However, due to the obstruction of the carriage, most of the arrows hit the carriage, and only one or two arrows shot in.

"Master! Who wants to kill you?"

The groom trembled and hurriedly helped Xie Xingjing break the arrow that shot at his shoulder.

He was about to collapse, "There are two groups of people outside, we can't escape today!"

There was one wave of bandits and another wave of archers.

He thought the people shooting the arrows were trying to save them, but it turned out they were being shot indiscriminately.

"Shut up!"

Xie Xingjing's face was pale, and his clean and tidy clothes had been soaked by rain and blood. He no longer looked as elegant as before.

The groom shrugged and dared not say anything more.

The sound of arrows outside the carriage had stopped, and apart from the sound of rain, the screams of the bandits had disappeared.

And a stern voice sounded outside, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, my master wants to see you."

The East Courtyard of Yongning Marquis Mansion.

It was raining heavily and the sky was getting darker.

Qingzhu's clothes were half wet when she entered the room, but she didn't care and went straight into the main room to look for Jiang Li.

"Crown Princess, Yongning Marquis Xie Xingjing has been intercepted by someone!"

Jiang Li was originally drawing a small portrait. She paused and finished the last stroke of the portrait of number 124-bing.

"Tell me what happened in detail."

Today should be the day when Marquis Yongning arrives in Kyoto, so she asked Qingzhu to keep an eye on him early.

He was waiting to save Xie Xingjing's life at the critical moment, and then letting Xie Xingjing return to Beijing after the wedding.

Who else can intercept Xie Xingjing in advance?
