At the fork in the road, the convoy that was still moving forward suddenly increased its speed and dispersed, making Xue Yuanyan alarm bells.

Because he didn't know which direction Long Zeyan and the others went, Xue Yuanyan had no choice but to scatter his men and chase after them.

Because there were the most vehicles going to Quzhou City and the road was the closest, they were the first to catch up with the carriages on this road.

It's just that after intercepting the carriage, the carriage was empty, and there was no one inside. The five grooms trembled, and they didn't know what to ask, which made Xue Yuanyan very angry.

"The eldest prince, the carriages that went north and turned to Anzhi County have all been intercepted, and there is no one."

Soon after, the Dark Guard, who had chased in the other two directions, also returned.

"Nothing? What about people? Is it difficult to grow wings and fly? Xue Yuanyan's head was bruised, and he was very anxious.

The matter of intercepting the four princes was automatically asked by Xue Yuanyan to Prime Minister Xue, originally wanted to use this matter to establish prestige in the faction of Prime Minister Xue Cheng's mansion, but he didn't expect to be repeatedly escaped by the four princes!

"No, could it be that this is a disguise?" Xue Yuanyan calmed down, "Are they opening the way for the four princes?" ”

There is only this explanation, otherwise how can it be explained that there are no human figures on every road?!

"Let's go, hurry back." As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xue Yuanyan was like an arrow, "Don't let you slip away!" ”

"Big Prince, slow down!" A guard stopped Xue Yuanyan, "You first take a look at this car mark that turned to Anzhi County......

The guard lit the lantern, lowered his body and pointed to the carriage print, "You see, the car marks to Anzhi County are much deeper than the car marks on its two roads. Obviously, there is no one in the carriage, and this road in Anzhi County is much better than the road to the north, if the carriage is empty, why does it leave such a deep mark? ”

Xue Yuanyan was startled, and immediately squatted down to carefully look at the car prints when the three roads were separated, and under the illumination of the lantern, the depth was quite obvious. "Are you saying that they immediately got out of the carriage and hid after they parted ways?"

The little one carefully asked the groom if he felt anything unusual on the road, and they all said no. The guard continued, "The only thing that is suspicious is that neither of them has seen each other. So a small guess, the fourth prince should have arranged other carriages here, they should have been arranged to confuse us, and they had already rushed to the capital in other carriages. ”

"Are you sure which coachmen aren't lying?" The guard's words sounded reasonable, but Xue Yuanyan still had some doubts.

"They are all driving near Jiangcheng, and the little ones are very sure." The guard said, "Don't forget, eldest prince, that in addition to us, the queen's people and salt merchants have also sent people to follow this convoy. Even if our news is wrong, it can't be that all people have wrong news. The fourth prince's silver has arrived, and the situation in the capital forces him to return to Beijing immediately, taking advantage of the cover of night, it is easy for us to ignore such a small clue......"

The more the guard analyzed, the more he felt that his opinion was very reasonable, so he kept persuading Xue Yuanyan to believe his words.

"The fourth prince is in a hurry to return to Beijing, so why didn't he just choose the road to the north? Transferred to Anzhi County, but the distance back to Beijing is the farthest! ”

"The fourth prince is still with the four princesses who are about to give birth, he has to find the safest road!" The guard said, "The four princes came from Anzhi County when they came to Jiangcheng, and they are already a little familiar with this road, and if there is an accident, they can deal with it." But the most important thing is that because this route is the farthest, we don't think that they will choose this road, so this road will also be the safest for the four princes. ”

The guard's logic was impeccable, and Xue Yuanyan was quickly persuaded by him. Leaving two people to guard other roads in case of accidents, everyone else was taken by him to Anzhi County.

Su Nianjin and Wanxiang were taken by Lan to the top of a tree next to the fork in the road, and saw the conversation between the guards and Xue Yuanyan with their own eyes.

Maybe Su Nianjin and Wanxiang didn't hear what the guards said clearly, but Lan heard it clearly.

"Miss Su, you are really powerful," after Xue Yuanyan left with the people, Lan sighed, "That little guard is really following your way, and he is completely convincing Xue Yuanyan according to your plan." And Xue Yuanyan really believed him. ”

Su Nianjin nodded, "It seems that I have to thank that little guard, if it weren't for him, Grand Prince Xue wouldn't have been able to find the different shades of the car print." ”

"Didn't Miss Su deliberately leave an earring at the fork in the road?" Lan raised an eyebrow, "That little guard was just lucky enough to find the earrings you 'unintentionally' left behind!" ”

"Arashi, what's wrong with you?" Su Nianjin listened to Lan's tone, how could she be so weird?

"Miss Su, since you have already planned to this point, why don't you think about it a little more and set up another way for the fourth prince to return to Beijing?" Arashi complained, "Or do you really think you have a big life?" Why do you deliberately want to lure the pursuers to chase us? ”

"The prince wants to return to Beijing from Quzhou City, and that way will not work. The road directly to the north is dangerous, the fourth princess is pregnant, as long as you use your brain to think about it, it is impossible for the fourth prince to choose that road when he returns to Beijing. ”

"We can choose!" Lan said, "Can we not go back to Beijing via Anzhi County?" Lan looked at Xue Yuanyan with so many people, he was really worried about whether he could protect Wanxiang and Su Nianjin alone.

What's worse is that these two people don't know any martial arts at all, and Su Nianjin always does things that make people's hearts stop.

The corners of Su Nianjin's mouth curved, "If we don't lead this group of pursuers, they will soon find out that they have made a mistake, and when the time comes, go back to the fourth prince, if the fourth prince is not paying attention to it a little, wouldn't the matter be a big deal?" ”

Lan was stunned for a moment, "You...... Miss Su is really thoughtful about the fourth prince? ”

"Heh," Su Nianjin felt funny, "Lan, this time I opened the road, but I was trading with my life." If Long Zeyan dies before he arrives in Beijing, wouldn't I have lost a fortune? ”

"......" Lan looked at Su Nianjin blankly, Miss Su was really born to be a profiteer, everything is a transaction......

"If you're worried about Wanxiang getting hurt, you can take Wanxiang back to Beijing first." Su Nianjin said, "You put me down the tree, and I can go on my own for the rest of the road." ”

"Miss, I don't want to be separated from you." Wanxiang grabbed Su Nianjin's hand tightly, "Wherever you go, the slave will go." ”

Lan looked at Wanxiang's persistent appearance and sighed, "Miss Su, don't say this kind of thing that annoys Wanxiang Girl." You know there's no way Miss Evening will leave your ......."

Su Nianjin moved her lips, she wanted to explain that what she just said was true, and she didn't mean to blackmail him by retreating......

However, Lan seems to have already decided, and Su Nianjin will no longer explain with words.

She curled the corners of her mouth and reached back to hold Wanxiang's hand, "Silly girl." ”
