The matters on South Island were handed over to Xiaoman. After everything was ready, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also packed their things and prepared to set off.
Ye Feifei and Ye Sheng naturally couldn't wait to set off together. This time they traveled in simple clothes and only brought Qingye with them. Of course, they brought Qingye with them to look after Bai Liu. The group of six quickly arrived in Fucheng and headed towards Jiayuguan through Fucheng.
It would take a month to reach Jiayuguan if you travel day and night without stopping. If you stop and go, it would take even longer.
Ye Yin has been captured for at least half a year. Judging from the speed at which the poisonous insect can be cultivated into the King of Poison, they still have more than half a year, so time is not very urgent.
After Fucheng, the horses kept going, running very fast. After a week of traveling, the group finally saw other pedestrians on the road. And it looked like a escort team. After all, Qian Jiujiu recognized the pawns of Zhenwei Escort Agency.
Mu Yexiao was at least walking beside Qian Jiujiu. The two walked side by side. Qian Jiujiu was about to talk when he suddenly felt a flash of light in front of him. He subconsciously frowned and looked over.
"Something seems to be wrong."
Mu Yexiao also noticed it and nodded: "It seems that the team ahead will encounter some problems. The people from Zhenwei Escort Agency should be quite capable."
Ye Feifei and the others also caught up and asked, "What are Sixth Brother and his wife talking about?"
Because it was inconvenient to reveal their identities outside, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu decided to call each other younger brother or sister.
Mu Yexiao pointed to the team ahead and the forest ahead: "There is an ambush in the forest ahead, and I don't know who it is?"
An ambush? Mu Yesheng was a little surprised: "Could it be that they are coming for us? That shouldn't be the case. Would they know our whereabouts so quickly?"
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Bai Liu standing there and thought to himself that it was only a matter of time before their whereabouts were exposed. He just didn't know what the enemy would do.
"Whether they are coming for us or not, we don't know yet. I guess they are coming for the people in the team below. I just don't know who those people are?"
While they were talking, the group had already walked into the ambush circle. Soon there were shouts of killing and the sound of arrows being shot, and the escort team was quickly scattered.
Qian Jiujiu was a little confused: "Isn't it said that Zhenwei Escort Agency is the number one escort agency in Da Zhou? Shouldn't it be very strong? Why does it seem a little unworthy of its reputation?"
The escort agency usually escorts things, and Qian Jiujiu also realized that these escorts didn't care much about those things, but intentionally or unintentionally surrounded the carriage in the middle.
The arrows shot by the attackers did not seem to be aimed at the people in the carriage. Did they want to kill them alive? Or were these escorts actually acting as bodyguards
The purpose is to protect the people in the carriage? Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu became a little interested. He didn't know who was in the carriage.
The people below fought very hard, and soon most of the escorts were killed.
Only a few scattered escorts were left guarding the carriage.
"Who are you? How dare you attack Miss Wang? Miss Wang is going to enter the palace to become a royal concubine, and you dare to attack her by surprise."
Enter the palace? Imperial Concubine? Qian Jiujiu was full of doubts. Is the Emperor going to take another concubine into the palace? Why haven't they heard anything
Since they are the ones who are going to enter the palace, they really can't just ignore them. Coughing twice: "Mu Yexiao, go and save them."
When Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's words, he sped up and rushed over. Ye Feifei and Ye Sheng also sped up and followed him. They couldn't let Mu Yexiao do it alone.
The sound of horse riding soon alarmed the two teams that were fighting in front. When the escorts saw someone passing by, they immediately began to ask for help.
"Please help me, gentlemen and ladies. This is Miss Wang, who is being chased by criminals. If you can save my lady, the Wang family will reward you handsomely."
The driver was the one who spoke. He seemed to be sent by the Wang family to protect Miss Wang as she entered the capital. The assassins who came to kill her also became nervous and looked at them: "You'd better not meddle in other people's business. Your own lives are more important. Get out of here."
As soon as the man finished speaking, his head was chopped off by Mu Yexiao: "If you dare to disrespect me, then die."
There was a glimmer of excitement in Butler Wang's eyes. Looking at their attack postures, these people were all masters. Wouldn't that mean their young lady would be saved
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao. As expected, Mu Yexiao's behavior was very handsome. She looked at Mu Yexiao with sparkling eyes: "My husband is amazing."
Qing Ye turned away, it was simply unbearable to watch! Ye Feifei and Ye Sheng saw that Mu Yexiao had already taken action, and they did not hesitate. With the participation of these people, the killers were killed miserably in an instant, but fortunately there were still a few survivors.
Qing Ye asked them to kneel in front of Qian Jiujiu and said, "Tell me, who sent you to kill people? If you don't tell us, don't blame us for being merciless."
Of course this man wouldn't say anything. Qingye's interrogation skills had naturally been greatly improved because he was always with Qian Jiujiu. Seeing that the man in black was still unwilling to speak, Qingye snorted.
"Do you believe me? I'll have someone dig a hole, bury you in it, drill a hole in your head, pour mercury in it, and peel your skin off alive!"
As soon as Qingye finished speaking, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a woman in white glared at Qingye: "How can you be so cruel?"
Qing Ye was puzzled. Was she cruel? She was just trying to scare people, and she didn't really do it. Besides, who was she doing all this for
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. When this woman spoke, a Madonna breath came to her face. Butler Wang spoke at this time: "Miss, don't talk nonsense. We are still grateful to the heroes who saved our lives!"
These guys are all masters. If the young lady offends them with her words, and they get angry and kill them, who can she complain to
Looking at the killing methods these people used just now, they were so clean and neat. Who knows if they are used to killing people, they are all very scary.
Wang Yanran was a little depressed: "Thank you for saving my life, but killing people is not enough. Why don't you just kill them directly? This kind of torture is really too cruel."
Qian Jiujiu actually felt a sense of relief in her heart. This girl did not ask the killer to let her go. It seems that she can still be saved.
The killer was also very stubborn: "Kill me if you have the guts. I won't say a word."
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, Qingye. This Miss Wang might not be able to bear to see these things. Take him to a far place, interrogate him clearly, and then bring him here."
Qing Ye nodded: "Yes, I will take people to interrogate them right away."
Ye Feifei hadn't interrogated anyone for a long time, and suddenly she felt like interrogating someone: "Let me help you."
Qian Jiujiu knew that this person was also a torturer, so she nodded and ignored him. She turned to look at the girl from the Wang family, only to find that she was staring at Mu Yexiao.
I couldn't help but snort: "What's your name?"
Wang Yanran was stunned: "Are you asking me? Why should I tell you?"
When Butler Wang heard this tone, his heart trembled. My little ancestor, how could he not show any sense at all? Couldn't he see that this group of people was led by this woman? She was the one who did all the things that were ordered just now.
Qian Jiujiu hadn't been rejected for a long time. When she heard this, she was a little stunned. Then she realized that no one knew that she was a princess now.
"No, we are your saviors after all. Can't we just ask your name? And we just rescued you because we heard that you were going to the palace to be a concubine. Since you are going to the palace, you must watch your eyes and don't look around carelessly. This is my husband."
Wang Yanran's eyes widened: "You are husband and wife. So you are married. You saved me because I want to enter the palace to be a concubine. What do you want from me?"
Is this girl so straightforward? Butler Wang also began to get nervous, hoping that these people would not make too many demands.
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said, "What did you get? It's still unclear whether you can enter the palace! I haven't heard that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, so how can you enter the palace?"
This was something that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were both curious about. The emperor was not a man who valued beauty, and in the palace, only the queen had children. The other concubines were just decorations, so why would anyone want to get in
Wang Yanran blinked her eyes. "I don't know either, but my brother told me that as long as I go to the capital, I can enter the palace and become a concubine. My family doesn't want me to do anything, I just need to eat and drink well and live a carefree life in the palace."
This girl is quite straightforward and naive. Qian Jiujiu didn't know what to say anymore. She coughed twice. It seemed that something happened in Kyoto that they didn't know about.
"What's your name? We're heading in the same direction for now, so I can give you a ride."
Yes, they had to separate at the city further ahead because they were going in different directions. Wang Yanran thought Qian Jiujiu was pretty good, so she nodded and said, "My name is Wang Yanran."
Qian Jiujiu said, "Wang Yanran, that's a good name. What do you think of my husband's appearance?"
When Wang Yanran heard this question, her face instantly turned red. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "You, how can you ask me this question? It's so bad. Your husband is good-looking, but he is still your husband. It has nothing to do with me."
Oh, your values are quite correct. Qian Jiujiu laughed: "Then the emperor is still the queen's husband! Don't you want to enter the palace too?"
