Chapter 35 Darkness

[How did the fourth prince know that His Highness secretly left the city at night? 】

[It turns out that there was one who was guarding the city gate earlier and was the fourth prince’s spy! 】

[It seems that the Fourth Prince does a lot of little things on weekdays. There are even his people guarding the city gate. Why didn't His Highness notice it? 】

Listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Xie Xi pursed her lips tightly and her eyes gradually darkened.

He had never doubted his fourth brother before, so he let him set up hidden stakes in Shengjing City.

Now it seems that after solving Jiangnan's matter, he must find out all the secrets of his fourth brother and the spies around him one by one...

As for the letters between Fourth Brother and Zhang Liangyuan, he has successfully obtained them. When the time comes, it will be up to him what excuses Fourth Brother will use to fool him.

"Husband."

Seeing that the carriage would soon enter the range of the killers, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say: "Husband, can you stop the carriage first?"

[There are thirty-seven killers ambushing ahead, but we only have Guard Mu Qing and another groom here, so we will definitely not be able to defeat those killers. 】

[Why don’t you let His Highness take a detour first? 】

"good."

Xie Xi lifted the curtain and shouted outside: "Mu Qing, stop first."

"Xu~"

Upon hearing His Highness's instructions, Mu Qing stopped immediately.

Bai Zhi and Chen Lu's carriage also stopped at the same spot.

Mu Qing was responsible for driving the carriage of His Highness and Lu Fengyi. He turned around and asked His Highness in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Wait a minute."

Xie Xi responded and returned to the carriage, "Xiaoxiao, the carriage has stopped."

"that……"

Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and tugged on His Highness's sleeve nervously: "Husband, I want to go down and take a look, is that okay?"

Xie Xi knew what she wanted to do, so he followed her wishes, raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and said with a chuckle: "Didn't Xiaoxiao just shout for a reward? Then I'll take Xiaoxiao for a walk. How about giving it as a reward?"

[Your Highness is too gentle! I must protect His Highness and not let Him be harmed in the slightest! 】

She didn't expect His Highness to agree to her request so easily. Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and suppressed her worries in her heart. A look of joy appeared on her face and she said in a soft voice: "Okay, thank you husband."

Although Mu Qing felt strange when he heard the conversation in the carriage, he would not refute His Highness's order.

Mu Qing jumped down and stood respectfully beside the carriage.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Mu Qing saw His Highness come out first and jump out of the carriage. Then, he helped Lu Fengyi slowly get out of the carriage.

Chen Lu and Bai Zhi, who were sitting in another carriage and heard the noise, also got out of the carriage.

"master."

The two said in unison and walked quickly to Lu Xiaoxiao.

Bai Zhi: "Master, what are your orders?"

Lu Xiaoxiao waved his hands at them: "It's okay, I just wanted to come down and take a walk."

This was said with reluctance. It was pitch black all around at the moment, and there was no scenery visible in the wilderness. There was only the light from the moon in the sky.

"The slave will accompany the master for a walk."

With that said, Chen Lu stretched out her hand to help Lu Fengyi.

Bai Zhi held the other side.

Xie Xi whispered to Mu Qing: "Come here."

When Mu Qing heard this, his face was solemn, and he quickly followed His Highness to the other side: "Your Highness, did you notice something was wrong?"

Afraid that Lu Xiaoxiao would hear him, Xie Xi deliberately lowered his voice: "There are thirty-seven killers ambushing ahead. How many of our secret guards are here?"
