Chapter 88: An Uneasy Journey

A few more days passed, when the night was in the dark, and the night and the day were alternate.

Jiang Zuiyao was still asleep when he was woken up by Qin Nanxian.

I opened my eyes in a daze, saw the figure outside the door through the candlelight, and asked sleepily, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Qin Nanxian, who was outside the door, replied: "Get up, I'm going to hurry today." ”

Jiang Zuiyao frowned slightly, lifted the quilt and got up, and looked at the sky outside, it was still dark.

Leave now? It's not even dawning.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't delay any longer, hurriedly got up and started dressing, and after a simple wash, he was ready to go.

When he arrived at the door of the inn, Qin Nanxian was already waiting there, and Jiang Zuiyao realized that even the carriage had been changed, and it was no longer the carriage sent by the imperial court, but an ordinary carriage.

The carriage set off until midnight, when the sun had just shown its face and was rising.

Jiang Zuiyao lifted the curtain of the car, only to find that the accompanying team had decreased a lot, and the escort team that followed yesterday was mostly less, only a dozen people followed, and the driver was also changed, Qin Feng disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

Looking at the road taken today, it is not the official road avenue, but the forest path.

Jiang Zuiyao was very curious, why did Qin Nanxian do this?

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Qin Nanxian at this moment, he leaned on the cushion and fell asleep, he got up too early in the morning, and it seemed that he was sleepy.

By the time Qin Nanxian woke up, it was already morning, and Qin Nanxian drank a bowl of tea as soon as he woke up.

Seeing that he was awake, Jiang Zuiyao asked what he had been curious about for a long time: "Why do we want to change our path?" And why did you lose so many people? Are the original people and carriages not used? ”

Qin Nanxian didn't say anything, as if he couldn't hear it.

As soon as noon passed, the sun was scorching, and Jiang Zuiyao kept fanning with a fan, but he didn't feel cool.

At this time, Qin Feng rode a horse to the window of the carriage and said, "Master, something happened." ”

This voice immediately made Jiang Zuiyao a little nervous, and hurriedly turned his head to look.

Qin Nanxian lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Qin Feng riding a horse and a carriage to maintain a speed, following outside.

Qin Nanxian asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Feng lowered his body and replied, "As the master expected, the carriage was attacked by thieves and fell off the cliff at this moment. ”

!!

Jiang Zuiyao gasped, the carriage? The one they were in yesterday?

Qin Nanxian was not too surprised, it seemed that everything was expected by him, and asked again: "How many dead and injured?" ”

Qin Feng replied: "After the spies came to report, the people in the carriage who pretended to be you and Mrs. Shao were killed, and the accompanying army was also killed and wounded, but the bandits were all killed. ”

Qin Nanxian nodded: "Let that group of people rush to the north, let them hurry." ”

"Yes, I'll give the order."

After Qin Feng got down, he rode around and left.

In this conversation, Jiang Zuiyao completely understood.

It turned out that Qin Nanxian had long known that someone would intercept them today and kill them, so Qin Nanxian came to tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Jiang Zuiyao sat in the carriage, her body stiffened on the seat, staring in surprise, unable to speak for a long time.

Qin Nanxian drank another bowl of tea, looked at Jiang Zuiyao's appearance at the moment, and asked lightly, "Why don't you ask?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao swallowed and foamed at the mouth and shook his head: "No need to ask, I probably guessed everything." ”

Qin Nanxian put it in the tea cup, touched the beads in his hand, and played with it casually.

It's just that Jiang Zuiyao is still a little curious: "But, who wants to kill us?" ”

Qin Nanxian didn't hide it, and directly spit out two words: "It's either the prince or the prime minister." ”

Prince Jiang Zuiyao has seen it, it is not a good class, although she has not seen it, but she also knows that he is not a good person, no matter who these two people want to kill them, they must not want them to go to the north.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that there is something wrong with this north.

I'm afraid that when the crown prince or the prime minister now knows that the person they assassinated is not Qin Nanxian, how broken his mood is, the feeling of being premeditated for a long time but being known by the other party can be imagined to be very angry.

Jiang Zuiyao felt more and more that Qin Nanxian, a man, was not simple, and there were too many unexpected things buried under his indifferent appearance.

He was a wise man, but he was always unpredictable, and even in the most pressing moments, he was always calm.

Jiang Zuiyao knew too little about this man.

The carriage bumped all the way, and kept moving along the sheep intestine path, such an unfamiliar road, people did not know what was ahead.

When night fell, the road in the mountains was dark, so I decided to stay where I was for the night, and the horses needed rest after a day of running.

Since it is in the wilderness, it is certainly not more comfortable than in the house, and the accompanying guards rest under the trees or grass in the mountains. Jiang Zuiyao and Qin Nanxian were in the carriage, and the two of them were lying on the hard wooden planks, with only a thin layer of cushions underneath, and their bodies were covered with not too thick blankets, but fortunately, it was early summer, and it was not so cold.

Jiang Zuiyao was not a picky person, and she fell asleep after lying in the carriage for a while.

In the middle of the night, the wind picked up in the mountains, and although the weather was not cold, it was still a little cold.

Jiang Zuiyao woke up, tightened the blanket on her body, and listened to the rustling of trees outside, if she wasn't accompanied by these people, she would definitely be scared by herself.

Jiang Zuiyao had been maintaining a posture and was a little tired, so he turned over and faced Qin Nanxian. It was pitch black in the carriage, and Jiang Zuiyao didn't know if he was asleep.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't care, closed her eyes and prepared to continue sleeping, but who knew that Qin Nanxian's voice sounded: "Are you cold?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao opened her eyes suddenly, to be honest, it was windy at night, only the wooden planks of the carriage were used to block the wind, and she was still wearing summer clothes, so it was still a little cold, but Jiang Zuiyao replied indifferently: "It's okay." ”

Qin Nanxian threw the blanket on his body to Jiang Zuiyao and said, "When you are pregnant, you are most afraid of the cold, you can cover it with one more layer." ”

"I'm not cold." , Jiang Zuiyao replied, thinking that Qin Nanxian didn't have anything to cover him, but Qin Nanxian insisted: "Cover it, if you are sick on the road, there is no way to cure it." ”

Jiang Zuiyao was about to say something, but suddenly she heard a loud noise, which made her tremble in fright, and then she heard Qin Feng shouting: "There are assassins!" ”

Immediately after, there was the sound of swords colliding.

Jiang Zuiyao was frightened, she wanted to raise her hand to lift the curtain to find out, but was stopped by Qin Nanxian, and her tone was extremely serious: "Hide!" ”

In the already small carriage, there are two people lying in it, which is already a little crowded, how to hide?

Jiang Zuiyao didn't know what was going on outside, so she could only curl up in the carriage, and the small carriage became the last barrier to protect her, so nervous that she couldn't do it.
