Shangguan Wan had already set out on the road with her people, and she had been whipping up for a day, and after a tiring journey, she stopped at a ruined temple. Sun Er took people to check the surroundings to make sure it was safe, and no one set up an ambush before stationing to rest.

Qi Xin and Shangguan Wan were in the main hall of the ruined temple, looking at the dilapidated Buddha statue in front of them, Shangguan Wan still knelt down with his hands folded and bowed. Qi Xin said: "Now that we are burdened with a heavy responsibility, but we are involved in this battle for succession, do you have an idea in your heart, young pavilion master?" ”

Shangguan Wan got up, the huge spider webs in the broken temple swayed with the wind pouring in, Shangguan Wan looked around before saying: "Since I shoulder the glory of the Shangguan family, I am naturally loyal to the country. ”

Qi Xin nodded, the two of them leaned on the pillar and slept in their clothes, and soon the snoring of Sun Er and the others sounded, and now they were running around on the road, and it was not easy to exchange news with Lin Zhange, Shangguan Wan got up and came to the broken window, and the breeze blew through her to wake up for a short time.

It wasn't until early the next morning that the group continued on their way.

And the two brothers of King Yin and King Yin of Jingzhong had already brought people out of the city gate in disguise, and King Alcohol came to the palace of King Alcohol and was sent away by Princess Jun on the grounds that her husband was cold, but it did not arouse King Alcohol's suspicion.

The killers sent by King Alcohol have long been on standby, just waiting to kill Shangguan Wan and Sun Er, the Jinxuan Division has no leader, and Song Tianwolf must obey himself in charge of the overall situation, then the entire Jinxuan Division will be useless.

Walking to a wooded place, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves drowned out the other sounds, but it could not hide from Sun Er's ears, Sun Er heard an unusual movement, and the group stopped. Sun Ernian is almost the age of confusion, the daughter of the family is about the same age as Shangguan Wan, looking at the little girl in front of him, the father's mood swelled up, and he hurriedly shouted: "Protect Lord Siqing, don't make mistakes"

In a moment, several assassins flew down from the towering tree, they were not in a hurry to take the lives of others, but they were clearly aimed at Shangguan Wan and Sun Er, and Shangguan Wan saw the purpose of the visitor. Said to Sun Er: "Sun Er doesn't have to take care of me, the two of us must be scattered in order to escape this catastrophe, their goal is to take the heads of you and me."

Sun Er came to his senses, and just yelled at the assassin: "your grandfather, you dare to move the idea of our Jinxuan Division", and the battle between the assassins is not equal, Shangguan Wan is a daughter's family after all, and the kung fu of the three-legged cat can't stop the assassin's attack, but fortunately, the soldiers and generals assigned by Lin Xu are all martial arts masters, but they didn't hurt themselves.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves came, and seeing that the person who came was King Yin, Shangguan Wan's heart paused slightly. The men brought by King Yin and King Yin were quickly dispatched, and the Assassins fled.

King Yin and King Yin dismounted, and everyone knelt down and said, "See the Second Highness and the Third Highness"

King Yin: "Everyone, please rise"

Shangguan Wan looked at Yin Wangcai and said, "Why did you leave Beijing?" Let the Empress know and pay it back? ”

King Ji walked up to Shangguan Wan and took out the token from his bosom and put it back again. Shangguan Wan knew it in his heart. The king continued: "Some people are trying to sow discord between our brothers and our mothers and sons, and treat us as sandpipers, so that we can fight with each other, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Our secret departure from Beijing this time was agreed by the mother emperor, and when we go to Dengzhou with you, we will take a look at how this alcohol king is arranging troops, and how he hates us very much. ”

Shangguan Wan nodded, King Yin rubbed his eyebrows and said: "This time my third brother and I left Beijing, we came out without telling others, since we are going to Dengzhou, King Alcohol has many eyes and ears, we and the people we brought with us, just call ourselves the people of Jinxuansi, so as not to startle the snake, King Alcohol let down our vigilance, so that we can find the mistakes and omissions." ”

Shangguan said politely: "Subordinates obey orders"

He called Sun Er forward again and said: "Your Royal Highness, this is a famous master of Jinxuansi, Sun Er, strong in martial arts, so if you want to hide your identity, you can pretend to be his subordinates." But the Assassins can't guarantee that the news won't leak."

King Yin nodded, but frightened Sun Er and said: "How can my subordinates be virtuous, let the two highnesses be my subordinates, my subordinates don't dare." ”

King Ji smiled softly: "You don't have to mind, just sing a play, just Si Qing mentioned that the assassin will leak the news, Si Qing don't worry, when the second emperor brother and I arrived, we had already sent someone to outflank the other side of the woods from elsewhere, and the assassin must have been arrested." ”

"Then let's continue to hurry, Uncle Sun doesn't have to be afraid, you treat them as subordinates in front of people, and treat them as His Royal Highness in front of people, otherwise it will be easy to show your feet, then we won't be able to sing this scene." Shangguan Wan got on the horse and said.

The assassin did not appear again, and the rest of the journey was considered comfortable, Sun Er trembled at first, and then became familiar with it. When he arrived in Dengzhou, Dengzhou Thorn Shi came to answer.

This Dengzhou assassin is named Su Duan, with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he came up with some flattering words, Shangguan Wan just interrupted him: "There is Lord Lao Su, please take us to a resting place, the empress's order is more important, these words will be left until the case is completed."

Su Duan's face changed, and he was a little embarrassed, so he had to rub his hands and bow his waist and said: "Please don't blame Lord Siqing, I have more words, so I will take you to my house, I have already prepared a wing room for the envoys to live in, and I have prepared a meal for the envoys to pick up the wind and wash the dust."

Shangguan Wan smiled at him slightly, and arched his hand and said, "There is Lord Lao Su."

Su Duan wiped the sweat from his face and stepped forward to lead the way.

Located in the center of Dengzhou City, Su Mansion is elegantly and luxuriously furnished, with a spring in the courtyard and a pond below, watching koi fish swim around. Shangguan Wan glanced at it twice, and Su Duan said: "My mansion is naturally not comparable to the mansion that you adults have seen in Beijing, and please don't laugh." ”

Sun Er was a bold one, and laughed a few times: "There is a spring in the house, Master Su doesn't have to be humble, how can such a piece of feng shui treasure land be considered a cold house?" ”

Master Su smiled, and everyone went to their respective rooms.

In the evening.

Mrs. Su set up a table, and it could be seen that she was very attentive.

At the dinner table, Lord Su toasted to Shangguan Wan and said: "Originally, it was said that there was a smart female envoy beside the empress who was in charge of the power of the Jinxuan Division, but today it seems that Lord Siqing is very promising at a young age." ”

Shangguan Wan said: "Thank you Lord Su for lifting up, I have today, all thanks to the empress's love."

Shangguan Wan looked at Mrs. Su, who was silent on the side, and paused before saying: "This time I was ordered to come to Dengzhou to check the case of selling illicit salt, and the Yun Gang also fell into it, we came this time, and we also met assassins on the road, it seems that this case is not so clear on the surface, there is a hidden mystery, if you want to find out that the empress has been reported, presumably the empress is also angry, involving several princes, related to the majesty of the Heavenly Family and the family affection of the Heavenly Family, and the people among them still don't know if there will be a serious crime, so heavy as the Nine Clans?" Car crack? ”

Mrs. Su's chopsticks fell to the ground, but Shangguan Wan's words stopped, looking at Mrs. Su's unnatural expression, Master Su scolded: "Why do you woman not give me face like this, and be so rude at the dinner table"

King Yin was at another table, and when he saw the movement of this table, he looked at Shangguan Wan again, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. I thought that this girl was a clever girl, and knew that the woman could not stand being frightened, so that after all, she would show her feet.

Shangguan Wan said: "I scared Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su must be merciful, and she can't listen to my beating and killing, it's my fault." But the case is exactly what I said. ”

Mrs. Su met Shangguan Wan's eyes and lowered her head again.

Until the end of the banquet, Shangguan Wan went back to the room by herself, but bumped into King Yin head-on, who was dressed as a Jinxuansi. looked down at Shangguan Wan.

"You little girl, you are a clever mouth, you know that it is scary"

Shangguan Wan shrugged her shoulders and disagreed: "If King Alcohol wants to personally arrest people in Dengzhou, it is difficult to think that there is no one else to help him, and he has been arresting people in Dengzhou all the year round in Beijing, and he really knows that it is unreasonable to think about it a little, and King Alcohol is just taking this opportunity to suppress you, provoking the relationship between your mother and son, and brothers, the empress can't stand others shaking her country, and if she is involved in the identity of the prince, it will make her even more angry." In this way, no one will think carefully about why the alcohol king can easily catch Yu Xingtian, the leader of the Yun gang, as far away as Dengzhou. Since you mothers and sons have already had an idea in their hearts, we might as well take care of it. ”

King Yin grabbed Shangguan Wan's wrist, looked at it and put it down, "Why don't you bring the coral bracelet I gave you?" ”

The note in Shangguan Wan's bracelet looked at the person in front of him again.

"Your Highness put a note in the bracelet and secretly taught me to do things, but I didn't follow your thoughts, I don't need to flatter anyone, and I don't need to please anyone, and now this Jinxuan Division is at least most of obeying me openly and secretly. Whether I bring the bracelet or not is my business. What's more, I am wearing an official uniform, how can I bring that thing, I don't like to carry things on my wrists."

King Yin stopped talking, just stared at Shangguan Wan in silence.

When he turned to leave, he said, "I'll look for another necklace when I go back, don't tell me you don't like to carry things around your neck."

Shangguan Wan was stunned, kicked a broken stone under his feet, and smiled softly.
