The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Jiao Wanwan also remembered many cases of rebellion in history by the way. For example, before rebelling, send his wife and children away. Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Defang to rebel, but there seems to be something wrong with him sending her away.

Suddenly remembered that she still had a letter written by Zhao Defang to General Jiao, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly looked it out, and she didn't care about the rules such as reading other people's letters, so she quickly opened it, but after reading it two or three times, there was no code, no double, it was just a simple letter, except for saying hello, that is, please take care of Jiao Wanwan. Jiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed, she was also a girl from the Jiao family, and she would definitely be taken care of when she returned to her parents' house, and she even asked Zhao Defang to bring it up, as if she was going to Jiao's house as a guest.

But there is some sweetness in my heart, it is rare that Zhao Defang, a big man, can think of these things, and even what snacks she wants to eat every day have to be written on the letter paper to explain. However, with this letter, there is a big difference between himself and the original owner, and it is estimated that the Jiao family can also find an excuse to explain it.

After being sweet for a while, I quickly dragged my mind back, did I really think too much? It's not that something happened in the capital, but Zhao Defang really wants to take himself to the domain, so he has to hurry up?

With doubts in her heart, Jiao Wanwan deliberately opened the curtain of the car and carefully looked at the guards outside. If something really happened in the capital, these people should be aware of it, and they will come out a little bit?

But I don't know if it's because she's too weak in observation or if the guards are too good at acting, or if they don't know it, in short, it's normal, and I can't see anything wrong at all.

It was Lamei, seeing that she had been staring outside, and thought that she was tired from riding in the carriage, so she poured tea and persuaded her with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, there is another hour, we should find a place to rest, there is a village on the side of the road, when we go to spend the night, the maid accompanies the lady around the village, if Ming'er still feels tired of riding in the carriage, let's ride a horse, and there are two or three empty horses behind." ”

Jiao Wanwan shook her head and lowered the curtain. Although she didn't see anything unusual at all, she was always a little uneasy in her heart, and she especially wanted to turn back and take a look. But what if, nothing happens? Didn't you run away in vain?

"Hu Yong." After thinking for a long time, Jiao Wanwan opened her mouth and called the guards in front, Hu Yong hurriedly pulled the horse around, and saluted respectfully: "What do you have to say about the princess?" ”

"I forgot something in the house, you can go back and get it for me now." Jiao Wanwan stared at him and said, Hu Yong was stunned for a moment, reached out and pulled his hair: "Is it something very important?" ”

"It's very important, a gift I specially prepared for my dad." Jiao Wanwan nodded, very strict and serious: "You go back now, hurry up, you should be able to rush to the capital at night, right?" Can I get there before the gates are closed? ”

Two years ago, Zhao Kuangyin lifted the curfew, and the nightlife of the people of the Great Song Dynasty was still quite rich, as long as they could enter before the city gate closed, they didn't have to worry about not being able to walk around the streets.

Hu Yong hesitated, about to measure the time, and shook his head after a while: "I'm afraid I can't catch up, if it's very urgent, I'll send someone back early tomorrow morning, what does the princess think?" ”

Jiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Yong was able to be sent to protect himself, and his status in the guards was not low, he didn't even notice anything wrong, and he probably thought too much.

"Okay......" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves running rapidly. Although they were in a hurry, there was a carriage in the end, and the sound of the horses moving was not so hurried, so when they heard it, they knew that it was not their own movement.

Jiao Wanwan simply poked her head out and looked back, and saw more than 20 black-clothed people, rushing towards them with weapons in their hands, the speed was too fast, Jiao Wanwan had just seen it clearly, and the arrow had already been released over there.

Hu Yong also saw it, and quickly shouted: "There are assassins, guard the princess and Niangniang, whether you live or die, take them all!" ”

The whole team moved quickly, the carriage with luggage was thrown aside, and the carriage that Jiao Wanwan was sitting in was surrounded by guards, half of the guards were guarding this side, and the other half of the guards reflexively met the enemy.

The guards of the palace are not weak chickens, and in less than a stick of incense, they solved the other two people.

Jiao Wanwan was uneasy, if there was nothing wrong in the capital, why would someone come to hunt down and kill her? But if something happens, what happens? I'm just a woman's family, so what's worth sending an assassin into?

Lamei was also a little panicked, but at the critical time, she was still very loyal, stretched out her hand to block Jiao Wanwan behind her, stared at the car curtain firmly, and her voice trembled a little: "Is it a bandit or a robber?" Outside the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing happened, it's just fatal, Niangniang, do we want to stay in the carriage all the time? What if someone shoots a horse? ”

The corners of Jiao Wanwan's mouth twitched, not so unlucky, right?

But I was also restless, what if the horse was frightened? Thinking of so many guards outside, and the uncle who drove the car was still there, Jiao Wanwan felt that there was no need to worry so much, the coachman should be able to control it.

After being frightened for more than half an hour, the sound of slashing and killing outside gradually dissipated, and Hu Yong rode a horse to report the situation: "Of the twelve, two or three escaped, and six were captured alive." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Hu Dare interject and say, "Big brother, those captured alive are already dead." ”

Hu Yong was startled, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded, it was estimated that it depended on the situation, Jiao Wanwan had the courage to open the curtains, it was late, and the light outside was not very good, but it did not prevent her from seeing the outside clearly. Not only did the assassins die a dozen, but the guards also suffered heavy losses, although there were no deaths, there were more than a dozen seriously injured, and there were almost more than thirty lightly injured. If it weren't for the large number of people, I am afraid that the losses would be even more heavy.

There are only a few dozen people on the other side, which shows that this skill is much stronger than the guards.

What the hell is it going to do with sending such a strong assassin and only a few dozen of them? Giving heads or didn't expect so many guards? But I know the news of her leaving Beijing, but I haven't found out how many guards there are, it's too, right?

"Can you tell where it's from?" Seeing Hu Yong coming over again, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, Hu Yong shook his head: "I heard their accent before, it seems to be from the southwest road, but looking at the figure, it looks like it is from the capital, and there are no particularly obvious signs on the body, the last general is incompetent, I really can't guess where it is from." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that it looks like a dead soldier, because once he is caught, he will immediately bite his tongue and commit suicide, and he will never be an ordinary bandit." ”

"Let's go back to Beijing now." After a pause, Jiao Wanwan quickly made a decision: "Bring the bodies of these assassins with you and go back to Beijing to find someone to conduct an autopsy." ”

Hu Yong was a little hesitant: "Go back to Beijing now?" ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded: "Yes, I don't know what this group of people are for, but there are still four days away from Xijing, it's too far, what if you meet such people again along the way?" It's better to go back to Beijing and travel overnight, and you can arrive early tomorrow morning. ”

Hu Yong still didn't dare to nod: "But the prince said that you must be sent to Xijing ......"

"What the prince said was that he was sent to Xijing safely, right?" Jiao Wanwan raised her eyebrows and asked, Hu Yong nodded hesitantly, and Jiao Wanwan nodded at the dead corpses outside: "But we have to insist on hurrying, what if another batch of assassins comes?" How sure are you that the next wave is better and has more people? Even if it doesn't work out the second time, can you make sure that there isn't a third time? No one died on our side this time, but what about next time, next time? ”

Hu Yong was still a little hesitant, and Jiao Wanwan took a heavy dose of medicine: "Think about it, we just came out of the capital in the morning, and we met an assassin at night, is there more than eighty percent of the possibility of coming at me?" I'm just an inner house woman, and there are assassins coming at me, you say, what they really want to deal with is the prince? ”

Even if Hu Yong was assigned to Jiao Wanwan, in his heart, Zhao Defang was the most important. Now that Jiao Wanwan said it, her heart was even more shaken, and Jiao Wanwan nodded at the injured guard: "Besides, is it important to hurry or to heal them first?" ”

The doctors in the capital must be better than those in the villages and towns, and those who are seriously injured have a greater chance of survival.

Jiao Wanwan raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Besides, the prince gave your brother to me, and now I am your master, my words, do you want to disobey to the end?" ”

"The last general will not dare." Hu Yong hurriedly said, groaned slightly, made up his mind, beckoned Hu Kang, commanded a few words, and told Jiao Wanwan: "The princess is seated, let's set off now, and we will be able to rush back to the capital before tomorrow morning." ”

Jiao Wanwan let out a sigh, who wanted her life? It's impossible, another Zhao Defang's crush, right? But if he was involved in the political struggle, it seemed that he hadn't done anything big, and Zhao Defang had never let himself interfere in the outside world.

Moreover, this assassination seems a little strange. It was said that she wanted her life, but there were too few people dispatched, and most of the assassins died, but none of the guards lost their lives. Saying that I don't want her life, that posture doesn't look like it's scaring people.

So, didn't you figure out how many guards you had with you at first? But it's still the same question before, can I find out when I left Beijing, but I don't know how many people I brought? More than 300 people don't sound much, but it is also vast to gather together, from the palace to Beijing, is there no one to see?

Or, in fact, these guards did not follow them from the time they left the palace, but only after they left Beijing? Or, it was not that he found out the news that he had left Beijing, but that he took down the palace, but found that he was no longer in the palace, and tortured the news?

No matter which guess it is, things seem to be a bit strict.
