The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Princess Rong had been divorced and was riding in an ordinary single-horse carriage with two maids serving her. It would be a bit crowded for Yan Muxi to ride with her, so she and Yin Xia got in the carriage at the back.

As soon as we left the city gate, a team of escorts followed closely behind the carriage. Dozens of escorts were escorting an open carriage with the frame covered tightly with oilcloth. It seemed that they were carrying heavy darts.

Yan Muxi specifically ordered the guards leading the way to go faster, and as a result, the escort team behind also sped up, always keeping a distance of several feet from their carriage.

Yin Xia also noticed something was wrong, "Should we send someone over to negotiate with the escort leader?"

Yan Muxi frowned and thought for a while, "It may not be an enemy. Even if it is, it is coming. If there is trouble later, remember not to fight fiercely, saving your life is the most important thing."

Yin Xia was shocked when she heard this, "Is it the one above? Can't he tolerate a dying person for a little longer?"

Yan Muxi's watery eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Oh, besides the guy above, who else can keep an eye on the old and young women and children in Prince Rong's mansion! But I can't say for sure that I am too nervous, it's just a coincidence, a false alarm. It would be best if nothing happens. If an accident really happens, we must save our lives."

"I know my limits. If I lose my life, I'll lose everything. I'm like the young lady, and I cherish my life." Yin Xia patted her chest to make the promise, and then asked worriedly, "But what exactly does the boss want to do? Does he want to kidnap you and the princess to threaten the Rong Palace, or does he want to kill you to vent his anger?"

"Who knows? They want to control Prince Rong's Mansion. Fortunately, we are not completely unprepared. As for whether we can escape this disaster, we will leave it to fate!"

When turning, Yan Muxi glanced at the escort team behind through the car curtain.

The escort leader and the escort master who were leading the way had fair complexion and it was obvious at first glance that they were not the escorts who escorted people under the sun all year round. Fortunately, she could completely abandon her idea.

Out of consideration for Princess Rong's health, the carriages of Prince Rong's Mansion moved very slowly. Fortunately, the official road was wide enough, and many carriages overtook the carriages of Prince Rong's Mansion along the way. However, the escort team always followed slowly behind, with no intention of overtaking.

Now not only Yan Muxi and his servant became suspicious, but others also noticed something was wrong.

Dong Yu got into the carriage and said, "The escort team behind us should be coming for us. The head of the palace's guards asked me to come and ask the young lady if we need to send someone to the nearby government office for help?"

"Go back and tell them that we are about to take the official road. If those people behind us have bad intentions, I am afraid they will take action as soon as we take the official road. It is too late for us to ask for help now. Tell them not to panic and just protect the princess."

Yan Muxi's face was cold. After thinking for a while, he said, "Also, tell them to focus on the princess's safety and not worry about me."

The Prince Rong's Mansion did not have palace soldiers, so this time the palace only sent a dozen or so guards with average skills to accompany him. Together with Yan Muxi's men, there were less than thirty people in total.

If the escort team was really related to Emperor Yuanjing, her people could barely deal with it, and it would be tantamount to seeking death for the guards of Prince Rong's Mansion to confront them.

Princess Rong only has her last breath left, she is no different from a dead person, and has basically no value to be used. If Emperor Yuanjing wants to target someone, he is targeting her, there is no need to let irrelevant people die because of her.

Dong Yu got out of the carriage as instructed, and returned after a while. Together with Yin Xia, they protected Yan Muxi from the front and the back to prevent any hidden arrows from shooting into the carriage.

Yan Muxi guessed wrong. The carriage left the official road and drove through Fenglin Town. The escort team behind did not take any action.

Moreover, they were following their carriages even closer, less than ten feet away, and each of them was holding the hilt of their sword, obviously becoming alert.

Yan Muxi suddenly realized that the escort team might have been sent to protect them. As for who was protecting them, it was none other than Yu Wantai and his son.

There is only one small mountain path from Fenglin Town to Fenglin Village. The surrounding mountains are densely forested, and there are only three or two sparsely populated villages nearby.

As it was not a big market day, there were almost no pedestrians passing by on the path except for their carriages and the escort team.

It was already past noon, and when they were less than ten miles away from the villa, sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the woods on both sides.

The guards quickly drew their swords, and the escort team behind them also quickly drew their weapons to resist.

The rain of arrows whizzed in and collided with swords, making a crisp sound of "ding-dong". In an instant, the crisp sound, the neighing of horses, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh, and the bursts of cries of pain mixed together, making people tremble with fear.

In the carriage, Dong Yu lowered her voice to comfort Yan Muxi, "Don't be afraid, young lady. I will protect you."

The carriage that Yan Muxi and Princess Rong rode in looked ordinary on the outside, but in fact, its interior was made of half-inch thick iron, which could not be penetrated by ordinary arrows.

Dongyu and Yinxia only needed to protect the car doors and windows. The two of them cooperated well and did not let any sharp arrows fly in.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the "ding-dong" sound outside gradually weakened, and the rain of arrows became smaller and smaller, until no more arrows were shot out of the forest.

Dong Yu lifted the car curtain and took a look, then forced a smile at Yan Muxi, "It's okay, it should be safe for the time being."

Yan Muxi had seen the tragic situation outside through the gap. Her men were all selected from the best in terms of skills, and there were almost no casualties. However, most of the guards of the palace in front were killed or injured. The wailing of the escort team in the back was smaller, but there should have been many casualties as well.

Dafeng has strict control over weapons. Apart from the military families who hold military power, the only person who can use thousands of arrows to fight the enemy at all costs under the feet of the emperor is Emperor Yuanjing.

She also guessed that this was just an appetizer. Since Emperor Yuanjing had already taken action, there would be bigger moves to come.

Yan Muxi asked Dongyu anxiously, "Hurry up and check, are the horses and the driver still alive?"

Dong Yu quickly glanced at them and said, "They are all alive. The maidservants and servants who served the princess did not ask for help. The princess should be fine."

Yan Muxi heard this and said, "You have a loud voice. Tell the driver in front to drive away quickly and don't worry about us."

Dongyu immediately did as he was told and shouted to the front: "Run, take the princess and run quickly."

The driver today was an old man who had followed Prince Rong for many years. He was experienced in many battles and had good legs and feet skills. Upon hearing the order, he immediately whipped the horse's belly with the whip. The horse neighed in pain and ran forward with its hooves swinging. The guards of Prince Rong's mansion had received orders in advance and immediately followed behind the carriage to escort it.

Just as the carriage ran a few feet away, a noise was heard in the forest, and a masked man who looked like a robber emerged from the dense forest.

The people who came had their faces covered with colorful cloths and their clothes were also coarse cloth shorts of different colors. At first glance, they really looked like bandits who were blocking the road to rob people.

But if you look closely, you can see that they all walk briskly, have firm eyes and do not make any unnecessary sounds. They are not ordinary bandits at all.

In a few moments, hundreds of people emerged from the dense forest and surrounded Yan Muxi's carriage and escort team.

"What should we do?" Dong Yu asked anxiously.

There were less than fifty people left on his side, including the bodyguards. The other side had overwhelming superiority in both numbers and strength, so the outcome was no surprise.

Yan Muxi didn't hesitate at all, "Dongyu, you go out and protect the driver, and we will rush out too."

"Yinxia, ​​please take good care of the young lady." Dongyu hurriedly instructed and leaned out of the carriage.

"Frame~"

With the sound of scolding and whip falling, the horse neighed and galloped forward.
