It seemed that the conversation between Gu Huaijiu and his daughter was overheard by the coachman, so the coachman made a desperate attempt to use Liang Yue as bait and force him to plunge into the gaping hole prepared by the assassin. But this coachman doesn’t look familiar, he should be someone from the palace, why...
"Brother Imperial! What's wrong?"
The little emperor wanted to stick his head out to see, but the mad king pushed him back with one hand.
"Stay still!"
While he was talking, the Mad King had already got off the carriage, grabbed a guard's horse and was about to chase him out. However, the reins of the horse were taken away by Ban Qu, who refused to let go.
"No! Your Majesty! Didn't you just say that there was an ambush ahead and asked us to wait and change our route! It's too dangerous to rush over now!"
The Mad King snatched it back and shouted: "Get started!"
Banqu directly blocked his horse in front of his master's horse. Even if he died today, he could not ask his master to take danger.
"Master! You are here to escort me, and I will chase you for you. I will definitely bring the little princess back intact!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed out.
But after taking only two steps, a thick fog suddenly rushed towards the convoy, covering everything in an instant, and no one could see anything.
"Why did it suddenly fog up!"
"Quick escort!"
Everyone's eyes were covered with white, and they couldn't see their fingers, let alone see the carriage that had already run a long way away!
"Suzutsuki!"
The Mad King suddenly felt troubled. The fog was strange. He ignored it and moved forward based on his intuition.
At this moment, the carriage driver had already rushed out of the carriage with Liang Yue like a sack. They had reached the top of the mountain. Above them was a group of assassins and trebuchets, any one of which was fatal.
However, neither the assassin on the mountain nor the driver at the foot of the mountain could clearly see the surrounding situation because the sudden fog had obscured everything.
"Why is there such a heavy fog!" The coachman flicked his knife twice unhappily.
Suddenly, someone behind him said leisurely to him: "It's foggy, so I can take care of you!"
The words were frivolous and cruel, but the voice was a child's.
"Hey! Third child, are you here?"
There was also a vague cry from the top of the mountain, but the coachman couldn't pay attention to it because he found that what he was holding under his arm was only a ball of white mist.
"Where's the child?"
"I'm behind you!"
The driver turned his head, but his throat was grabbed in an instant. His hands were small but strong enough to break his neck.
The driver saw the vague shadow of a child floating in front of him. He swung his knife to chop it, but the knife was carried away by a gust of wind.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?" the coachman asked in a hoarse voice.
"Go down and ask the King of Hell!"
Liang Yue tilted her head towards the coachman. She had created the fog, so naturally she could see everything clearly, including the fear that slipped out of the coachman's eyes.
Wow!
Liang Yue suddenly looked up and saw a dozen large rocks coming towards them. Liang Yue hurriedly stepped away and retreated three feet away.
Bang!
The coachman who was called Lao San was smashed into a pancake by his brothers.
"Don't blame me! Who calls me the daughter of the Mad King!"
Liang Yue wiped her neck, and there was some blood on her fingers. She was injured by the assassin's dagger just now. She smiled slightly and flew up the cliff!
Bai Dongting seemed to be lost. After chasing for a long time, he didn't hear the movement of the carriage.
Fortunately, the fog dissipated quickly, and he realized that he had walked around an old tree countless times, with horse hooves all around it.
"what are you doing?"
The Mad King chased after him on horseback, followed by a group of men.
Bai Dongting swallowed his saliva. He was embarrassed and did not dare to say that he had encountered a ghost. He just silently caught up with the Mad King's team and chased them to the bottom of the cliff. However, they only saw a pile of rocks blocking the way. Half of the shaft of the car was exposed under the rocks.
Banqu took a breath, could it be that the little princess...
He didn't dare to look up at his master's expression, which he guessed was extremely terrifying.
The little princess is the prince's darling, and she can't even hurt a hair, let alone...
Bai Dongting dismounted. He was more serious and solemn. He pushed a few rocks without saying a word, thinking of robbing people under the rocks.
The group of people were either sad, frightened or at a loss. The Mad King finally got off his horse. He looked around, then fixed his eyes on one direction, and ran over with a long stride and even some eagerness.
Between the two rocks, the Mad King found his daughter. She was sitting there with her knees in her arms, her head lowered and silent.
The mad king knelt down and didn't say a word. He just took out a handkerchief and wiped off the dirt on his daughter's face and hands. One handkerchief was not enough, so he tore off a corner of his middle coat and The movements are very light, but the wipes are careful.
Liang Yue asked in a low voice: "Crazy dad, I don't dare to go out. Will they treat me as a monster?"
The Mad King was completely indifferent: "They're not that smart."
Liang Yue pointed at the mountain: "Those assassins are stationed on the cliff! Not one of them is missing..."
The Mad King rubbed his daughter's neck and found a faint red mark on her neck. It was obvious that the daughter had just been injured and had not had time to heal.
"How did you get hurt? Huh?"
The Mad King immediately became nervous.
Liang Yue put her finger in front of her nose and said softly: "Don't make a fuss! I'm fine! I think I'd better faint first."
After saying that, Liang Yue hooked her arms around Mad King's neck, put her head on Mad King's shoulder, and hid her face so that no one could see her.
Gu Huaijiu picked up his daughter, said a few words to Banqu, then got on his horse and ran back.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, a false alarm was averted and their lives were saved.
Because of the assassination, the trip to Cifang Nunnery was put on hold. The carriage driver still didn't know who had arranged the carriage in the palace. Without finding out, the emperor's safety could not be guaranteed.
The little emperor was beating his chest and the bed beside Liang Yue's bed, and kept muttering: "It's so annoying! This group of people won't even spare a child!"
Liang Yue sneered: "As if you are too old." Fortunately, it was her. If the little emperor had been replaced, his father would probably have to think about establishing a new emperor now.
The little emperor was really humbled by not being a complainer, so he made up some nonsense again: "That demonic mist came from a strange place. Let me tell you, maybe those assassins offended the demons in the mountains. Otherwise, why would they?" It is frozen like a piece of wood, it turns out that monsters can also act on behalf of heaven."
Liang Yue rolled her eyes, rubbed her forehead, and said, "I just drank the medicine and am a little sleepy. Uncle Emperor, why don't you go back and rest first?"
The little emperor who was called uncle was a little overjoyed. He stood up on tiptoes and touched Liang Yue's head, pretending to be an adult: "Good boy, you sleep for a while. I have Brother Tang Shui'er outside to help you hold the door. If you wake me up, I’ll come and chat with you again!”
Bai Dongting again?
Let me sleep to death!
Liang Yue got into the quilt, she wanted to wash her ears and make them clean.
