"Let's go out and have a look." Spruce avoided answering and hurried out of the tent. "Miao Miao, you just stay inside, it's dangerous outside."

Miao Miao looked at the back of the spruce, thought about it, and walked out.

At this time, the man in black outside did not know that his leader was dead, and he was still preparing to kill everyone according to the leader's previous orders.

"What are you doing?" Spruce let out a loud shout and looked at the sneaky group of men in black.

Because the drug was in the hands of the dead man in black, and the first person he was about to stun was Miao Miao, so the people in the other tents had not yet been attacked by the drug.

Spruce's shout woke up all the sleeping people, and everyone turned over and sat up, took up their weapons, and walked out of the tent.

The man in black was stunned by Spruce's loud shout.

"How is it that there are still people who are not stunned?" The man in black asked his companion suspiciously.

"What are you talking about now, come on." Another said.

Although I don't know where the leader went, this assassination was an order from above, and everyone was sad if it wasn't completed, so killing Spruce and the others was the best solution.

The man in black attacked everyone violently, and everyone on Spruce's side quickly reacted and joined the battle.

There is not much difference in the number of people between the two sides, but most of the men in black are good at assassination. The attack is not only ruthless, but also tricky.

The people led by Spruce are decent escorts after all, and they can be compared to this group of killers, so it is a little difficult to deal with.

Seeing that his side was weak, Spruce hurriedly joined the battle.

Don't look at Spruce's appearance as a weak scholar, this fight is very imposing, and the strength is not bad. At least, it's much better than this group of men in black.

Miao Miao stood at the door of the tent and saw that the spruce gradually controlled the situation, so she didn't make a move.

In less than half an hour, the man in black who came to assassinate him was almost killed by the people on Spruce's side.

"Say, Who sent you?" Ah Da grabbed the last live mouth and asked.

"I won't say it, you have the ability to kill me." The man in black said stiffly.

"Looks like you're going to stay the course. Then I want to see if it's your hard mouth or my fists. Ah Da Leng snorted and swung his fist towards the stomach of the man in black.

"Huh. Is that all there is to it? The man in black snorted, looked at Ah Da mockingly, and said defiantly.

If you don't say it yourself, you can't escape death. But I said that not only I would die, but even my own family would die. Of course, he can tell which is more important.

"Ah Da, forget it." Spruce glanced at the man in black and said to Ah Da.

"Yes." Ah Da nodded and directly twisted the neck of the man in black.

"Miao Miao, I've scared you." Seeing that the matter was dealt with, Spruce looked at Miao Miao apologetically.

Although the spruce had just pounced on the enemy, he also paid attention to Miao Miao from time to time. He saw Miao Miao leaning outside the tent, her expression relaxed, not at all frightened by the scene of the fight, and she was very calm. And when it comes to danger, it is not afraid of danger. But when he heard Ah Da's report, two black-clothed men also infiltrated Miao Miao's tent, and they were killed by one blow, so they should have been killed by Miao Miao.

Therefore, Spruce has changed a lot of Miao Miao at this time, no longer thinking that Miao Miao is weak and delicate, but thinking that she is strong and resolute.

"It's fine. But you, what about the casualties? Miao Miao said with concern.

"Seven dead and sixteen wounded." Spruce said.

I have already carefully picked the trail and walked, why would they still find out. Although he was ready for casualties, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his dead men when the battle began.

"Don't be upset." Miao Miao didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to pat him on the shoulder.

"Thank you." Spruce covered Miao Miao's hand and said movingly.

"I'll go back to the tent first." Miao Miao withdrew her hand, although she felt a little rude to Spruce's sudden move, she didn't say anything in the end.

Miao Miao's tent had been cleaned up, but Miao Miao thought that two people had just died, and her diaphragm should panic, so she took out a set of sheets from the ring and put it on, and put a small incense burner.

The next day, everyone moved towards the original route, but because of the surprise attack last night, everyone was much more vigilant today.

Along the way, everyone encountered three waves of surprise attacks, and the 200 people accompanying them were consumed in three battles, and only more than 50 people were consumed.

"Is there an imperial city ahead?" Miao Miao asked, looking at the tall city wall in front of her.

"Well, that's the gate of the Imperial City." Spruce returns.

"Miao Miao is going home soon, are you happy?" Spruce asked.

"Yes." Miao Miao responded vaguely.

I'm not from here at all, so there's no home.

"Who's coming?" The guards at the city gate stopped the mounts of Spruce and the others and asked.

"Hmph." Ah Da drove forward, took out a gold token, and shook it in front of the guard's eyes.

When the guard exclaimed and was about to say something, he was stopped by Ah Da.

"Release." Ah Da ordered.

"Yes, yes, yes." The guards nodded in response, allowing the rest of the guards to let them go.

"Now that she has entered the city, does Miao Miao know where her home is? Or have you seen some familiar buildings? Spruce asked.

"Nope." Miao Miao shook her head in confusion.

"In that case, why don't Miao Miao stay in my courtyard first? I'm asking if anyone has lost their daughter, and I'm looking for clues about your family. Spruce asked.

"Okay." Miao Miao nodded. "Spruce, thank you."

"You're welcome." Spruce looked at Miao Miao's sincere eyes and smiled.

Spruce, the annex in the imperial city, is much stronger than the border territory residence where Miao Miao stayed for one night.

Miao Miao was arranged in an elegant and chic courtyard, and Spruce took the information he made up and ordered his subordinates to find his relatives.

Miao Miao's divine sense sensed that the spruce was walking away, so she dressed up in disguise, climbed out of the courtyard wall, and walked towards the street.

Fortunately, the spruce courtyard is not far from the downtown area, otherwise Miao Miao would really have to work hard to get there.

The most well-informed place in ancient times should be the inn, Miao Miao carried the wallet handed to her by Spruce and walked towards the inn.

"This young lady, eat or stay in the hotel." A person who looked like a little second stepped forward and asked.

"A good pot of tea, a stack of snacks." Miao Miao said.

"Howler. A good pot of tea, a stack of snacks. Miss upstairs please. Xiao Er bowed down and guided Miao Miao to go upstairs.

Miao Miao sat at a table by the window, her mind paying attention to the movements upstairs and downstairs, because Miao Miao was slightly disguised, but it didn't attract much attention.

"Hey, did you hear that?" A man at the next table said to another.

"What's the matter?" The man asked.

"It's the matter of our Crane Country Lord."

"You guy is not a little timid, and you dare to discuss the affairs of the lord of the country."

"A lot of people know about it, and it's nothing."

"Then tell me what the hell is going on."

"Isn't the lord of our Crane Country sick for a long time, it is said that he is about to die."

"Is this really?"

"Of course it's true. I heard about it from a friend of my relative's sister's brother-in-law. That person is a guard in the palace, and he is also a guard guarding the palace of the lord of the country, can what he said be false? ”

"If it's true, then I'm afraid it's going to cause a big mess."

"But no, I heard that these eight princes are all ready to move, just waiting for the lord to die and seize the throne."

"Didn't the lord of the kingdom choose an heir to take over the throne?"

"It's not that you don't know that since the death of the crown prince, the lord of the country has been very disappointed in the princes, where will the heir be chosen. What's more, the lord of our Crane Country has the ability to live in it. Whoever wins in the end will have the ability to sit in the position of the lord of the country. Which prince do you think has the ability to sit in the position of the lord of the country? ”

"I think you kid is talking to me, can you talk nonsense like this?"

"Haha, don't I just ask."

"Hmph. Next time, dare to dig a hole for me and see how I clean you up. ”

"But seriously, who do you think is the most capable of these eight princes?"

"If you want me to say, of course it's the Great Prince. Not to mention that he is the rightful heir to the throne. Just by virtue of the great prince's great military exploits, and half of the Crane Country to rely on him to stabilize it, it is enough to ascend to the position of the lord of the country. ”

"Otherwise, I think that these three princes have the demeanor of the lord of the country. Although the eldest prince is strong in martial arts, he is brave and brave without strategy. But the three princes are different. He is the first talent in our Crane Country, and his poetry and songs are not a problem. And he is upright and kind, if he becomes the lord of the country, it is really a blessing for my crane country. ”

"Superficial people." The diners at the other table couldn't sit still and walked over to the two of them.

"You think the eldest prince and the third prince are good, but I think the fourth prince is the real pride of the sky, the destined choice of the country."

"Oh? How to say this. The other two were not annoyed, hearing that others had other opinions, but wanted to hear why.

"The eldest prince and the third prince, one article and one martial arts. But what is the most important thing for the lord of the country? Of course, it's the way of the emperor. Our four princes, Corporal Lixian, and countless strategists and military attachés under his command, all surrendered to the four princes themselves. If the four princes ascend the throne, the commander of the hundred officials can also do the same, why worry that the Crane Kingdom is not strong. What's more, if the military attache of the eldest prince, the civil official of the third prince, and the fourth prince have the heart, there are many substitutes, so why should he go out himself? ”

"What you say is not unreasonable, it depends on who is better than them."

"What about the Six Princes?" Miao Miao saw that everyone had stopped talking and asked.

"The Sixth Prince?" A person at the next table glanced at Miao Miao.

"The sixth prince has a weak personality since he was a child, and he is frail and sickly. If you can't write anything, you can't do it. Even the only concubine who relied on him died of blood collapse when he was born. If he wants to have the ability or not, and if he wants the power to have no power, what qualifications does he have to compete for the position of the lord of the country? ”

"That is, among the eight princes, I am afraid that the most unqualified one will belong to the six princes."

"Not really. At the beginning, Concubine Lian died of blood, and the lord of the country was very unlucky for a while, and he didn't even bring the six princes with him. These six princes have been bullied enough in the palace. ”

"But even if these six princes know each other, they know that they are not capable of competing for the position of the lord of the country, and they are afraid that they will lose their lives by staying in the imperial city, so they went back to their fiefdom early, signaling that they will withdraw from the battle for the lord."

"This can be regarded as his eyesight, and the rest of the princes, any one of them, can make him irreversible."

"The situation of these six princes is really so difficult?" Miao Miao asked.

"Everyone knows the situation of the six princes, so you are from a foreign country. The affairs of these six princes have been spread all over the imperial city. ”

Miao Miao took a sip of tea and thought to herself.

It seems that his task is very arduous, these six princes have no power and no power, and it really takes a lot of effort to assist him in the position of the lord of the country. It is not known which side the rest of the heirs are in.

Miao Miao then sat for a while, and seeing that everyone was not mentioning valuable news, after settling the bill, she went back to the courtyard.

"Miao Miao, you're back." Spruce looked at Miao Miao nervously and asked worriedly. "Where have you been this afternoon, I can't find you no matter how I look for you."

Spruce deliberately asked his subordinates to send clothes and accessories to Miao Miao, but when he opened the room, he didn't find Miao Miao's shadow. Spruce thought that Miao Miao didn't know where her home was, so it shouldn't be like saying goodbye. Since he arrived in the imperial city, more people have been assassinated. So Spruce thought that Miao Miao was caught by his opponent, so he was very worried.

"Sorry to worry you. I was bored in the house, so I walked around the neighborhood to get some air. Miao Miao explained.

"That's good, I thought something happened to you, but it's good that you're back." Spruce breathed a sigh of relief and relieved.

"Then if you want to go next time, just tell me if it's okay, it's really not good, it's okay to tell the next person. Lest I be worried. Spruce said.

"Don't get me wrong, during this time, there is a lot of chaos in the imperial city, and I am also afraid that you are in danger, so this is why it will be like this." Spruce explained.

"It's okay, next time I will." Miao Miao said.

"Miao Miao, according to your description, I have already sent someone to inquire about the news today. Presumably, in less than three days, there will be news coming, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the family as soon as possible. Spruce said.

"Thank you." Miao Miao said.

Thank you for believing in me and thank you for being willing to help me.

"It's nothing." Spruce said embarrassedly. "It's not early, I've already asked my subordinates to prepare dinner, why don't Miao Miao follow me to eat."

"Well, it just so happens that I'm hungry too." Miao Miao touched her belly, which was drinking tea and eating snacks, and smiled reluctantly.

Tonight's dinner was extraordinarily rich, and perhaps I knew that everyone had not eaten well after a long journey along the way. Therefore, in addition to some chicken, duck and fish, there are many seasonal vegetables and fruits on the table.

In ancient times, fruits were not easy to preserve, and these fruits were wrapped in ice cubes from the place of origin and sent from the horses quickly. (To be continued.) )
