Spare them their lives. ”

Xiao Mohan's long sword dripped, and he coldly ordered, these people dared to stab him, and the people behind him must have a lot of background, so he had to be tried well.

Qin Li, Xue Yi and the others gradually approached, and just as they were about to capture the black-clothed people, the black-clothed people suddenly fell to the ground, convulsed all over, bleeding from their seven orifices, and soon lost their breath.

Xiao Mohan's face sank, put away his long sword, and walked straight over, these people would rather die than be captured alive by Xiao Mohan, it can be seen that the person behind him has a special identity.

Qin Li leaned over and took off the face towels on the faces of the black-clothed people, broke open their mouths, and found that they all had poison sacs hidden in their mouths, and if there was any accident, they would kill themselves so as not to fall into the hands of others.

"Stand down, all of you."

Xiao Mohan looked at the masked man led by him, and gave a faint order, and the masked man bowed to him, and disappeared into the jungle one after another.

Qian Qianqian also got out of the carriage, since everything outside had calmed down, she couldn't completely stay out of the matter, after all, she was almost killed just now.

"Could these be the people of the central country? You have just defeated the central country, and they have a grudge, so they sent people to assassinate you. ”

Qian Qianqian carefully looked at the faces of these black-clothed people, and became more and more confused in her heart, and guessed in a low voice.

"Probably not, looking at their martial arts moves, it doesn't look like they are owned by the central state, and if they are really from the central country, they don't need to commit suicide at all, anyway, the central country has always regarded me as a mortal enemy, and it is completely reasonable to send someone to assassinate me, only the enemy who is hidden in the shadows will be afraid of exposing himself."

Xiao Mohan flatly denied it, he deliberately got out of the carriage to fight with these black-clothed people, just to find out about this matter, otherwise with his people, even if he sat in the carriage peacefully, he could solve all these black-clothed people.

"You mean, these people are from the capital?"

Qian Qianqian speculated in a low voice, since this matter has nothing to do with the central government, it is nine times out of ten that it is inseparable from the capital, after all, the situation in the capital is complicated, and it is reasonable for someone to plot against it.

"It's still inconclusive, search them to see if there are any suspicious objects on them."

This matter is very important, even if Xiao Mohan has some guesses in his heart, but if there is no full evidence, he will definitely not be able to announce it, so as not to cause trouble.

Qin Li led people to search carefully, but they searched all over those people in black, but they didn't find anything suspicious, it seems that when these people in black came out, they didn't bring anything, so as not to fall behind.

"General, these people are very clean, there is nothing."

Qin Li came up to report, Xiao Mohan's eyes crossed a cold light, his thin lips were sharp, and his eyes were burning, as sharp as an eagle.

"That's it, let's start again."

Xiao Mohan's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all, this style made him think of a person.

"And the corpses?" Qin Li was still a little undecided, these people were deliberately assassinating Xiao Mohan, and now that they were dead, the corpse may not be completely useless.

"Just throw it here, and ignore it." As soon as Xiao Mohan's voice fell, he turned around and got into the carriage, Qian Qianqian immediately followed, and Qin Li and Xue Yi also did as Xiao Mohan ordered.

They walked for most of the day, until the night, and finally finished this mountain road and returned to the official road, Qian Qianqian sat in the carriage, without saying a word, looking at Xiao Mohan's expression from time to time, and always felt that Xiao Mohan knew a little about this matter in advance.

"The official road is blocked by mud and can't go, and as soon as we walk on the mountain road, we run into those assassins, isn't it too coincidental? Could it be that those Assassins have been standing guard on the side of the mountain road, waiting for us to pass? ”

Qian Qianqian was puzzled in her heart, her eyebrows twisted into a dead knot, raised her head, and stared at Xiao Mohan in a daze, her eyes full of inquiry.

"The mountains on both sides of the official road are densely forested, even if it rains a few times, there will definitely not be so much silt sliding down the mountain, and it is the dry season now, and there is little rain here, let alone heavy rain, although those officials are cleaning up the mud, but the nails are clean."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly and explained unhurriedly, those officials knelt in front of him just now, their hands were lying on the ground, and he just happened to see this detail.

"So those officials did it on purpose, just to lead us to the mountain road, and they were in the same group as those men in black."

Qian Qianqian also suddenly realized that although she didn't know the weather conditions here, she had worked on the farm, so she still had some common sense.

There is so much mud on the official road, if the official is really willing to clean it, he will naturally work very hard, so how can it be that the shoes and clothes are dirty, but the nails are clean?

"It's not like a gang, but they must have been ordered by someone." Xiao Mohan remained silent, he hadn't exposed anything just now, just because he was afraid that those officials would find out.

"Is it possible that those officials are fake?"

Qian Qianqian was beating a drum in her heart, the more she guessed, the more energetic she became, the location here is remote and sparsely populated, if someone can get the clothes of an official errand, it is not difficult to intercept passers-by here, and ordinary people can't see it.

"They all have the token of the imperial court on their waists, and this is an official road, and the people who come and go are all people in the court, if they dare to fake it, they must have been exposed a long time ago."

Xiao Mohan has been observing the words and deeds of those officials just now, clothes and accessories can be faked, but he can't learn ten points in behavior, so those are real officials.

"In this case, the person who wants to harm you must also be an official of the imperial court, since there is a first time, then there will be a next time, so let's be careful, maybe the next time it will not be so lucky."

Qian Qianqian sighed, and her heart was all clear, she raised her hand to support her face, lowered her eyelids slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly, blocking the emotions in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what, and I will never let you get hurt in the slightest."

Xiao Mohan raised his hand and touched Qian Qianqian's head, there was a trace of tenderness in his deep eyes, in fact, he was wrong, Qian Qianqian was not worried about his own safety, but worried about his safety.

"Did you let the wind and his party follow them secretly?"

Qian Qianqian raised her head suddenly, and suddenly this sounded, her expression became solemn again, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of doubts.

"Not bad." Xiao Mohan didn't hide it, presumably Qian Qianqian also saw some clues just now, among those masked people, the leader was Yufeng.

"You are really thoughtful, it seems that you expected early on that the road back to Beijing would not be peaceful, so you deliberately let Yufeng follow, but I was too worried."

Qian Qianqian didn't say anything more, Xiao Mohan has always done things foolproof, and it is the same now, and if she guessed correctly, Xiao Mohan in the capital must have already taken care of it.

"As the leader of the dark guard, Yufeng has always been there with the rumors, and now that our enemy is in the shadows, then we can't completely put ourselves in the light, there are some things that should be hidden, or they have to be hidden."

Xiao Mohan said very firmly, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has fought dozens of battles before and after, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, he understands better than anyone else.

Qian Qianqian felt that Xiao Mohan was right, but somehow, she didn't like this kind of Xiao Mohan at all, she was too calculating, step by step, she always liked simple people, but Xiao Mohan's eyes seemed to hide all the secrets.

None of those black-clothed people went back, and presumably the capital didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so Xiao Mohan and his party successfully arrived at the small towns around the capital, and after half a day's walk, they could reach the capital.

"I have already sent someone to the palace to hand over the folds, and we will enter the palace in Beijing tomorrow, so we will rest here tonight first, and then set off tomorrow, it just so happens that you are also tired."

Xiao Mohan took Qian Qianqian into an inn and commanded one by one, but Qian Qianqian felt very puzzled.

Now that they have all arrived at the edge of the capital, why should they stay for one more night, isn't this an extra move? The sooner they enter the capital, they will also have less trouble.

"I'm not tired at all, and it's the same to rest when I go to the capital, or let's continue on our way."

Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan's pace closely, thinking that she had slowed down Xiao Mohan's pace, so she explained on the side.

"Since we have arrived here safely, we are not in a hurry for this moment, so you can rest and wait for me to take you into Beijing tomorrow."

Xiao Mohan sent Qian Qianqian back to the wing, the inn in this town is not as simple as a big restaurant, everywhere is very simple, and the room where Qian Qianqian lives is already the best in this inn.

Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan's every move, although she was puzzled, but she didn't continue to ask, Xiao Mohan said that if she wanted to stay for a day, then he naturally had his plan, so she better not make a mess.

Xiao Mohan didn't stay long, and after settling Qian Qianqian, he walked straight out, leaving only Xue Yi alone to protect Qian Qianqian.

"Does General Xiao have any other plans? Otherwise, why stay here for an extra night instead of going straight to Beijing? ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Qianqian summoned Xue Yi to her and asked mysteriously.

"Miss Qian, you misunderstood, you see what time it is now, if you enter Beijing now, it must be dark in the capital, and the palace gate has long been locked, Xiao has the law, and the courtiers who are fighting abroad return to Beijing to report on their work, as soon as they step into the capital, the first thing is to go to meet the emperor, you can't stay for a while, if you enter Beijing at this moment, General Xiao will go to see the emperor, do you think it is appropriate?"

Xue Yi's face did not change, and explained unhurriedly, reasonable, as if there was no flaw.

Qian Qianqian traveled here and was not familiar with many things in Xiao Guo, so she naturally didn't know this law at the moment, so it was really inappropriate to enter Beijing at night.

"I see, that's how much I thought."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, squeezing out a smile from her face, although she was convinced, but in her heart she felt that this matter was not so simple, Xiao Mohan seemed to have something to hide from her.

At night, Xue Yi brought her bath water, and after bathing and changing, Qian Qianqian fell asleep.

But Xiao Mohan was not idle, and in the dead of night, he quietly walked out of the inn, and only Qin Li followed him.

In the early morning of the second day, Qian Qianqian woke up, Xue Yi had been guarding outside, and when she heard the movement in the house, she called Qian Qianqian with face wash and served her very thoughtfully.
