Chapter 36: Already deaf at a young age

With Chen Lu and Bai Zhi following them, Lu Xiaoxiao could only roughly observe the surrounding terrain through the moonlight.

They walked straight ahead after leaving the city gate, taking the official road, which had been ambushed long ago. The killers must have taken a detour through the trail.

If they took a direct detour and took the trail, they could avoid the killer's ambush.

But the biggest problem right now is, what reason should she use to convince His Highness to take a detour?

When Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the carriage with Chen Lu and Bai Zhi, he discovered that guard Mu Qing was gone, and only His Highness was standing there.

[Strange, why is the Mu Qing guard not guarding His Highness? 】

Doubtful in his heart, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty... Husband, where has Guard Mu Qing gone?"

"Mu Qing, the solitary sect, is going to explore the way ahead first."

Xie Xi suddenly held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, but noticed a chill in her hand. He frowned without any trace and said warmly: "Xiaoxiao, it's a little cold outside, why don't you get in the carriage first?"

"Um?"

[Why did His Highness suddenly think of sending Guard Mu Qing to explore the way ahead? Could it be that His Highness also noticed it? 】

Lu Xiaoxiao reluctantly pulled back his thoughts and subconsciously answered His Highness's words: "Okay, get on the carriage first."

[Guard Mu Qing will go explore the road first, and he will definitely be able to detect an ambush, so I shouldn’t need to worry about it, right? 】

When he thought of this, Lu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.

Now that everyone knew there was an ambush, Xie Xi would not let Lu Xiaoxiao worry about it anymore. Her news was important enough to him.

After His Highness returned to the carriage, just a moment later, Lu Xiaoxiao heard the voice of guard Mu Qing: "Your Highness, my subordinates have discovered that there is an ambush ahead, and have assembled secret guards to capture all the killers."

"good."

Xie Xi said calmly, "Keep going."

Guard Mu Qing: "Yes."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."

[It seems that the things I was worried about have been solved? 】

After listening to Guard Mu Qing's report, Lu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. She looked at His Highness blankly and blinked, "Husband, what did Guard Mu Qing just say?"

She had some doubts as to whether she had just heard something wrong.

[I am young, so I won’t lose my hearing so quickly, right? 】

"cough"

Xie Xi was amused by Lu Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts. He reluctantly held back and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "There is an ambush ahead, but it has been eliminated by the secret guards."

Lu Xiaoxiao came back to his senses: "That's good."

[It turns out that His Highness has always been surrounded by secret guards! If I had known this was the case, I wouldn’t have to worry about His Highness’s safety all the time...]

[Now that there are secret guards guarding us all the way, we should be able to go to Jiangnan smoothly, right? 】

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart.

The rest of the journey went smoothly without incident, and the road to the official road was indeed smooth.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't hold back the sleepiness that came over her. She lowered her head, closed her eyes and dozed off.

Xie Xi did not rest.

What Xie Xi held in his hand was the life information of Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian. He always knew himself and his enemy and was victorious in every battle. When going to Jiangnan, he had to start from the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.

It's a pity that the secret information he sent out to collect information about Shi Weian was not detailed enough.

The further he looked down, the more solemn Xie Xi's face became. He frowned and was about to turn to the next page.

Suddenly, Xie Xi felt his shoulders sink.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly softened a little. It was Lu Xiaoxiao who was leaning over.
