made a decision and was just about to set off immediately, but thinking that it had been a day, and the guards who followed had not eaten anything for a whole day, although Jiao Wanwan herself had no appetite, she couldn't ignore these people, and hurriedly asked Lamei to take out all the dry food and distribute it first, and only after she was full could she continue to hurry.

The buns that were just made in the kitchen last night were a little cold, but they were still delicious. There are two or three people and two buckets of water on the carriage behind, even if they can't eat completely, they can make their bodies have a little more strength.

After eating, she set off immediately, Jiao Wanwan sat in the carriage, anxious, what happened in the capital?

"Mother, no, there's an assassin coming in front of you." In less than two hours, Hu Yong gritted his teeth outside and said: "Please also ask Niangniang to get off the car, and let a few more people protect Niangniang and set off to the other side, and we will divide into two ways." ”

Hu Yong and the others drove the carriage to the official road, and Jiao Wanwan led people to copy the path. One is to hurry, and the other is to confuse these assassins.

Jiao Wanwan almost cried, she really couldn't ride a horse. In her previous life, she didn't have the money to learn this kind of petty bourgeois sport, and besides, the horse farms in the big cities were basically outside the city, and she didn't have time to go so far every day. After the crossing, I tried my best to make excuses, and I never revealed that I couldn't ride a horse, so what can I do now?

Otherwise, drive the ducks to the shelves and go straight up? Maybe you can shake the reins twice with your horse's reins? Besides, don't they all say that the old horse knows the way? Isn't it good that you don't have to control zhì? But I'm afraid, what if the horse goes crazy? What if I don't do a good job and get upside down?

"I don't think it's a good idea to divide the soldiers into two ways." Jiao Wanwan tried her best to keep her tone steady: "If we can think of a way to divide the soldiers, they will definitely be able to think of it." If the manpower is scattered, the strength will be weak, and the next time it is blocked, maybe there will be no good luck for the first time. I think it's better for us to be together, because there is strength in numbers. ”

After a pause, he added: "It is estimated that the other party will not be able to send too many people out, otherwise, it will not be once or twice, there are only dozens of people." ”

Hu Yong also hesitated, just after a while, the assassins in front had already arrived. Hu Yong didn't care about continuing with Jiao Wanwan, and if he let Jiao Wanwan get out of the car at this time, he would send the head to someone else. We can only talk about it later, and we can first pass the current difficulties.

This time, like the first time, there were dozens of people.

Jiao Wanwan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out a little, and the guards around the carriage looked at it, and it was indeed much safer than walking on the path with only three or five people.

Lamei still protected Jiao Wanwan behind her as before, Jiao Wanwan was not so frightened this time, and she was in the mood to analyze the moves of the assassins outside, of course she didn't know much martial arts, but there was a little bit, if she was a soldier, her shots were basically wide open and closed, very masculine. But these assassins seem to be a little too small in their movements.

Of course, you can't use this generalization for all, there are also rangers, who also use big openings and closings, or weird and changeable martial arts. It's just that Jiao Wanwan herself is a princess and a royal person, so there should be no Jianghu sect sent to seek revenge, and those who want her life may be from the government.

Narrow down the scope a little more, and it's inside the clan. In other words, the origin of these assassins may be of two kinds, one is a soldier guard, and the other is a dead soldier. According to their skills, Jiao Wanwan prefers the choice of the dead.

Those who can afford to raise the dead will have to be narrowed a little further.

But in the end, there is no evidence, and it is difficult for her to continue to guess.

In less than an hour, the assassination was over. Six of them died, two were captured, and the rest all fled. On Jiao Wanwan's side, three died, four were seriously injured again, and six were lightly injured.

If they continue like this, I am afraid that they will not reach the capital, and they will have to fold in.

While Hu Yong sent someone to bandage the wounded, he came to ask Jiao Wanwan, how should she go next, or take the official road, I think there should be assassins in front, if you take the small road, there are two ways to walk, far away and close.

"Throw away the things on the cart, except for the medicinal herbs that can be used, and carry the wounded into the carriage first." The more she arrived at this time, the more Jiao Wanwan didn't dare to let herself panic, so she calmed down and made arrangements: "Then drive the carriage to Xijing and send a team of people to escort it." ”

If something really happened to the capital, she, a weak woman, would definitely have no way to lend a hand, so she could only ask for help. But she doesn't know who can believe it, at present, the only person she can ask for help is the body's own father, General Jiao.

No matter what, General Jiao's love for his daughter doesn't seem to be fake.

"Take the path, don't take the official road." Jiao Wanwan said again, stretched out her hand and untied the jade pendant from herself: "Send another person, hurry up, go to Xijing to find my father, and tell my father everything we encountered along the way." Also, you can't wear armor on the road, Lamei, go to the back and ask the aunts to see who has brought a wide coat and put it on the outside of the armor to disguise it. ”

Even if the disguise was a little too conspicuous, but it was better than not, what if the assassin was blind?

"For the rest of the people, I'll disguise myself as a maid, get the assassin's corpse, and change into my clothes." Jiao Wanwan said again, Hu Yong instantly understood, and hurriedly arranged, in less than a stick of incense, the whole team was divided into three parts. Part of it went to the Xijing side, and part of it continued to the capital.

Jiao Wanwan changed the maid's clothes and sat in the carriage behind, and Lamei was closely by her side. In front of the carriage, there was a corpse, already dressed as Jiao Wanwan. Live or die, it's a bait anyway.

The weather is not very good today, let alone the moon, not even a star can be seen, it is darker than usual, and it is not easy to hurry, but I don't dare to light a torch, and a group of people can only touch the dark. With his memory, he urged the horse to go to the capital, but fortunately, there was only one official road, and there was no need to worry about taking the wrong road.

Less than a third of the way, he encountered another group of Assassins. This time, Hu Yong deliberately sold a flaw, so that the assassin opened the curtain of the car, saw the body of the assassin with an arrow in the back, and then let the assassin leave.

It is estimated that this assassin really only wants Jiao Wanwan's life, and the rest of the journey, there is only one assassin who wants to rob the corpse. Of course, Hu Yong would not let them succeed and desperately stopped them.

When he arrived at the gate, the gate was about to open. Jiao Wanwan and they experienced assassination all the way, and when they saw the city gate, they were like seeing a way out, and they were extremely excited. There was already a long queue at the gate of the city, all of which were people from the vicinity waiting to enter the city.

There are also small vendors on both sides of the road, selling breakfast items such as porridge and steamed buns.

"Is the princess hungry? Do you want to eat breakfast first? Hu Yong came over and asked, seeing Jiao Wanwan shaking her head, she lowered her voice again: "Shall we go directly into the city, or do we find someone to inquire about the news in the city first?" ”

Jiao Wanwan hesitated a little, seeing that the people outside were still so happy, and the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't look like something big had happened in the capital, could it be that she really thought too much? These assassins are just coming for their own princess, and they have nothing to do with the palace or anything?

"Can the gatekeepers find out anything?" Jiao Wanwan asked, Hu Yong shook his head: "I don't know, after all, the city gate is not sealed today, and there should be nothing major in the capital." ”

"Then let's go straight in." Jiao Wanwan immediately said, and added: "The people in the carriage are still like that, don't move yet, wait until you get to the palace and figure out these things." ”

Hu Yong was busy, and the carriage of their palace had its own mark. Moreover, the city gate is also divided into several teams to enter, on one side are the common people, on the other side are high-ranking officials and nobles, the team there is relatively short, there are only two or three carriages, Hu Yong led the team over, less than a stick of incense time, it passed through the city gate, entered the capital.

Without delay, go directly to the palace. Jiao Wanwan was anxious and worried, for fear that something would really happen, and hoped that nothing would happen, and she didn't understand why it was aimed at herself, and where those assassins came from.

When she arrived at the street of the palace, Jiao Wanwan didn't dare to be careless, so she asked Hu Yong to send someone to take a look, and after coming back, she reported: "It doesn't look any different, the people who guard the door are still the original people, and the palace is very quiet." ”

Jiao Wanwan pursed her lips, which allowed Hu Yong to continue to move forward.

The guards at the door were really the same people, and when they saw Hu Yong and them, they were very surprised: "Didn't you escort the princess to Xijing?" How did you come back again? Did something happen on the way? What about the princess? ”

Hu Yong stiffened his face, and asked while motioning for him to open the door, "What about the prince?" ”

"The prince stayed in the palace yesterday, and he is not in the palace at this time, are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, it is better to go directly to the palace to find it. The man said with a grin, and opened the door to let the carriage in.

"Staying in the palace?" Hu Yong frowned and asked, Menzi said with a smile: "Yes, someone came to the palace yesterday afternoon to invite the prince into the palace, I don't know what the specific thing is, Hu Guards don't be embarrassed." ”

It is said that when she arrives at the palace, even if it is safe, Jiao Wanwan should have breathed a sigh of relief. But I don't know why, when I heard that Zhao Defang had entered the palace, Jiao Wanwan felt more and more heavy in her heart, like pressing a stone, and she was almost out of breath.

She just wanted to open her mouth and tell Hu Yong to go to the palace to call Zhao Defang back, when she suddenly heard a horn. She turned her head to look at Hu Yong with some confusion, but saw that Hu Yong's face was a little pale, and his expression was nervous: "This is a signal of martial law in the capital, and I'm afraid something will happen in the palace." ”
