On the third day of the Lunar New Year, we set off for Qingzhou.
Xiao Yu rode a carriage to the door of Chen's mansion to pick up Chen Xinyu.
Chen Xinyu and Xiao Ming came to the door and saw King Yan already waiting, and they were a little happy.
"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a long time." Chen Xinyu said with a smile.
Xiao Yu likes to see Chen Xinyu smile very much. Her smile is beautiful and her smile looks very comfortable.
Xiao Yu also smiled and said: "Let's go when we come."
After saying that, he helped Chen Xinyu get on the carriage.
The coachman drove, but Ye Ran did not come to recover from his injuries. Xiao Yu was replaced by a female secret guard, Ning Shu.
Ningshu and Xiaoming walked on both sides.
"It's a long way to Qingzhou. It may take five days. It's a bit hard on the way." Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xinyu and said.
Chen Xinyu said confidently: "It's okay, I can do it, hehe."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's good."
"Hey, Your Majesty, I see there was a girl beside you just now. Who is she?" Chen Xinyu asked
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "She is the secret guard I arranged beside you. Her name is Ningshu. She will protect you after you arrive in Qingzhou. Even though she is also a girl, her martial arts skills are as good as Ye Ran's."
Chen Xinyu's eyes shone, she was so powerful and then she said: "Then there is another one?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, there is another one in the dark. He will come out if there is danger." He really puts his own life in his eyes.
Arrive at the west gate.
The prince is already there and the officials are waiting.
"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle is alone here." Xiao Yunli said with his hand.
Xiao Yu took a glance and saw Xiao Yunli walking over with Chen Xinyu.
Chen Xinyu knelt down and saluted: "My little daughter, Chen Xinyu, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Yunli smiled and said: "Miss Chen, there is no need to be polite. Please get up. I wonder if Miss Chen wants to go to Qingzhou with us?"
Chen Xinyu stood up and patted the ashes and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness, I am going to Qingzhou to visit my two brothers. After His Highness King Yan found out, he asked me to go with him for my safety."
"Well, it's safer to follow us." Xiao Yunli laughed.
Xiao Yu looked depressed. Why is the emperor so crazy? He wants to ask the prince to go. It would be unsafe for the prince to follow him. Brother emperor, do you know how much I have sacrificed to protect the prince? "
"Okay, I will follow His Royal Highness in the same carriage, and the other adults will share the same carriage. People from the Ministry of War and Dali Temple will drive the horses. Xinyu, you will ride in my carriage, and Ningshu will follow you." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone. Official: "My lords, the situation is urgent. We must hurry up and reach Qingzhou within four days. Please forgive me for the fatigue on the road. My people will do their best to protect your safety. Please rest assured and let's go!"
"Ningshu, Xiaoming, come in and let's sit together." Chen Xinyu looked at them and said.
Ningshu and Xiaoming felt it was inappropriate, so Chen Xinyu forced them to go in.
Xiao Yu looked depressed in the carriage of Xiao Yu and the prince. If something really happens to my eldest nephew, the emperor brother must not beat me to death.
Xiao Yunli looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Uncle Wu, why do you look so bad?"
"Eldest nephew, why do you think the emperor asked you to go with me?" Xiao Yu looked depressed.
Xiao Yunli said seriously: "Father said that you can't cure the world by studying dead science. You have to go out and practice to develop your skills."
"That's it, hehehehe." Xiao Yu said with a fake smile
"Fifth Uncle, I know you are worried about my safety, but it's okay. I have your people and people from the Ministry of War. I can also use bow and horse skills. I also brought my people with me. Don't worry, and Father, You are right, you must go out to practice and see the sufferings of the people before you can develop your skills and govern the country well." Xiao Yunli said confidently
Xiao Yu was still a little worried: "Remember to protect yourself in order to govern the country."
Xiao Yunli said with assurance: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, I will protect myself."
Xiao Yu nodded and stopped talking.
But here Ningshu was questioned by Chen Xinyu and her head was spinning.
Chen Xinyu said with a smile: "Sister Ningshu, it turns out that you are four years older than me, and you are so beautiful. You must have suffered a lot to be so good at martial arts."
Ning Shu felt a little dizzy: "Yes."
Chen Xinyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ningshu: "Ms. Chen, can we sit quietly for a while?"
Chen Xinyu nodded and closed her mouth, while Xiao Ming snickered on the side.
After a while, Chen Xinyu took out the osmanthus cake given to him by his mother and said, "Sister Ningshu, this is the osmanthus cake made by my mother. Do you want to try it?"
Ningshu said nothing.
"Sister Ningshu"
"Ms. Chen, I'm not hungry."
…
We arrived at the inn in the evening and rested here for the night.
After dinner, Chen Xinyu and Xiao Ming rested in the room, while Ning Shu sat aside.
In another pavilion, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yunli, Zhang Wei and Sun Hao were discussing matters.
"Uncle Wu, our whereabouts must have been exposed, and they will definitely make some moves tonight." Xiao Yunli said
Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, my people are already guarding the perimeter and taking turns standing guard. I have also arranged manpower in the two adults' rooms to protect your safety."
Sun Hao nodded and said, "Why don't we let them all come in and catch turtles in an urn?"
Zhang Wei also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yu thought for a while, "No, it's too dangerous. I will stand guard with the guards tonight and try to catch as many people as possible alive. His Royal Highness and the two adults can just rest in the room."
The three nodded in agreement.
Night comes. Xiao Yu didn't dare to be careless.
The most guarded place is at the Prince's door.
But he stood guard at Chen Xinyu's door.
At this time, a secret guard came to report: "Your Majesty, there is movement."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu called out another secret guard who was protecting Chen Xinyu and asked him to protect the prince, and asked Ning Shu to protect Chen Xinyu. Many people stood at the door of the two ministers. Xiao Yu went out to check the situation by himself.
As soon as Xiao Yu went out to the door of the inn, an arrow shot straight through his head.
"My lord, be careful!" A secret guard pushed him. The arrow grazed my shoulder, made a ditch, and hit the pillar of the inn.
Xiao Yu covered his shoulders and hid behind the pillar and shouted: "Be careful, find cover!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless arrows flew across the night sky and flew towards the inn.
An Ri at the door of the room quickly pulled out his sword to block it, and then shouted: "Your Highness, be careful, hide!"
Xiao Yunli woke up, kicked over the table in the room, and hid behind it.
Chen Xinyu and Xiao Ming also hid under the bed.
Xiao Ming was shaking a little, and Chen Xinyu hugged her tightly, comforting her not to be afraid.
The two ministers also quickly found a place to hide.
After shooting a round of arrows, my assassin rushed out and started fighting with King Yan's people in the courtyard. Secret guards blocked the door to prevent the assassin from entering.
Xiao Yu also picked up his sword and went in. Xiao Yunli heard the voice and wanted to go out to help. The secret guard at the door blocked him and refused to let him out. After leaving a few people at the door of each room, the others flew downstairs. .
Seeing that the arrow was gone, Chen Xinyu climbed out with Xiao Ming.
At this time, Ning Shu shouted from outside: "Miss Chen, don't panic. The assassin can't come up yet. Just sit inside. If the assassin comes upstairs, I will protect your safety outside!"
Chen Xinyu shouted "Hello" after hearing this.
Xiao Ming was still trembling. The two of them hugged each other. Chen Xinyu was comforting her: "It's okay, Xiao Ming. It's okay. Prince Wang and Ning Shu will definitely protect us."
Xiao Ming nodded, still a little panicked.
The sound of fighting slowly faded away, and the last assassin was eliminated.
Xiao Yu dragged the sword and looked at his red arm, thinking that he really didn't have any way to survive. This was only the first night...
After the assassin was dealt with, Chen Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and coaxed Xiao Ming to slowly fall asleep.
Xiao Yu went to Xiao Yunli's room to bandage his wounds. The two exchanged a few words before Xiao Yu left.
Xiao Yu walked towards Ning Shu and asked, "Is she okay?"
Ningshu replied: "Your Majesty, it's okay. I'm asleep now."
Xiao Yu nodded, he was so tired, and walked back to the room.
