Although he was young, he had experienced a lot, especially he had stayed in the forest for more than ten days. He knew how dangerous it was outside at night. Therefore, even when he wanted to sleep at night, he did not dare to fall into a deep sleep.
But tonight, it was very quiet outside, without even the sound of insects in the air. This was not right.
He quietly walked out of the small tent and as soon as he left the tent, he smelled a faint scent in the air. He frowned and glanced around in the moonlight. He saw that all the people in the caravan were asleep except the four people who were on guard. The few people who were on guard were walking around, yawning from time to time, and looked listless.
Something is wrong!
Mu Chen's face tensed up. Even though he was not an expert in medicine, he knew that there was something wrong with the faint smell in the air.
He looked at the spirit beast car parked beside the mountain road. He knew without thinking that someone must want to attack the lady. Just as he was thinking, he saw a guard sleeping by the fire secretly throwing something into the fire. As he threw something in, the smell in the air seemed to become stronger.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's heart sank. It seemed that this must be a conspiracy to kill the lady! Not only was there something wrong with this guard, but there must be assassins lying in ambush not far away, otherwise, it would be impossible that there was no sound of insects in the trees and grass on the roadside.
Normally, he should quietly avoid such a thing to avoid getting into trouble, but when he thought of the lady's actions of giving him cakes and a small tent, as well as her gentle look that was somewhat like his mother's, he couldn't bear to leave and watch him die.
At that moment, he sneaked towards the spirit beast carriage under the cover of night. Just as he was sneaking towards the spirit beast carriage, several people who were patrolling outside fell down while walking. At the same time, a secret signal flew into the night sky with a whoosh.
"Go! Someone wants to kill you!"
Mu Chen quickly got on the spirit beast car. Fortunately, the windows and doors of the car were closed, so the medicine outside could not seep in. The master and servant inside also woke up when he came in.
The maid was startled, and she opened the curtain to look outside, and saw more than a dozen men in black pouring out. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Madam, hurry up! There are assassins!"
The lady was also stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected it, but there was no panic on her face. Instead, she showed a gentle smile and said to Mu Chen: "Thank you, but don't worry, it's okay."
She spoke softly, gathered her clothes, and got off the spirit beast carriage by herself. At the same time, she said to Mu Chen and the maid, "Don't get off. Just stay in the carriage!"
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and seeing that she looked calm and not panicked, he calmed down for some reason. However, he did not stay in the spirit beast cart, but got off the beast cart and stood beside it.
"Madam, wait for me, I'll go down too." The maid said as she followed him down. However, she had just gotten off the spirit beast carriage for a while when she fainted because of the smell in the air.
Mu Chen glanced at the maid, then looked at the lady, and finally his heart settled down.
"The smell of the Jinling Flower, it seems that you have been prepared." The lady said softly, her eyes sweeping over the sleeping guard, the traitor, and the dozen or so men in black who appeared.
