Chapter 411: Departure

Two days later, the Empress officially set off for the Holy Capital. In addition to the due guards and palace people, he was the prince of Pingyuan.

Xiahou Ying, as an accompanying female officer, rode in the same carriage as Song Zhilan this time, following Nan Rong Yuwei's Yi, while Nan Rongliang rode a horse and walked on the side of the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage that was originally moving slowly stopped suddenly, causing Xiahou Ying to open the curtain and look out.

And the moment she lifted the curtain, an arrow feather went straight through the car window, and an arrow stabbed Song Zhilan, who was sitting opposite Xiahou Ying!

"Protect the Holy Queen!" Shouts rang out, and there was chaos outside the car. Xia Houying lay under the car, not daring to move for half a minute.

It didn't take long for the noise to finally quiet down......

"Wanxin, are you alright?" Nan Rongliang's voice came from outside the car.

"I'm fine, but ......" Xiahou Ying glanced at Song Zhilan, who had already lost her breath, and sighed, "Song Si is dead......

Nan Rongliang, who was outside the car, was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "It's not safe outside now, it's better for you to be patient and continue to stay in the car." ”

"Good ......," Xiahou Ying replied softly.

This assassination is not surprising, the Holy Queen finally left Beijing, how could the prince's party let go of this excellent opportunity? Even if the crown prince is willing to let it go, the emperor probably won't let it go......

Before leaving Beijing, Nan Rongliang had already found that all the guards in the city had been replaced, and even the guards who drove back to the holy capital with Sui Yi had also placed many new faces.

With such an obvious action, Nan Rongliang would never believe it if the other party had no plans, so he arranged manpower along the way one step earlier, just in case.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the city, he was already attacked, and it seems that the other party is really impatient!

"Is the Holy Queen's side okay?" Xia Houying asked through the car window towards Nan Rongliang.

"I sent a team of people to send my aunt to Yingdu City in disguise, since the assassins have come to attack us, it means that they are safe." Nan Rongliang said soothingly.

"That's good......" Xiahou Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, after determining that the other party was going to take action, Xiahou Ying and the others immediately made a decision.

The Queen Mother's illness was just a pretense, and the other party's purpose was to force Nanrong Yuwei out of Beijing, so that it would be convenient to assassinate her on the road.

Now that the other party has already started to kill, Nan Rongliang feels that they don't have to worry about it anymore, wouldn't it be better to just plan it?

Therefore, the final destination of their trip was not the Holy Capital, but the Yingdu City, which was separated from the Holy Capital by a hundred miles.

Yingdu City is the most important transportation town in the New Moon and is the key point of communication between all parties in the Holy Circle. It can be said that controlling Yingdu City is to choke the throat of Shuoyue Shengjing!

"The news of the defeat of this group of people will soon spread back to the Holy Capital, and I believe that the prince's side will soon find out that we are not going to the Holy Capital." Xiahou Ying looked at Nan Rongliang and said seriously.

"It's okay, by the time they find out, we'll be in Yingdu City. My aunt had already arranged it there, and didn't Xiahou Yan already promise to help us control Shengjing? Nan Rong said with a faint smile.

Xia Houying nodded and lowered the curtain.

She didn't know if she was right to persuade her brother to help the Nanrong family revolt, in the end, the Xiahou family didn't need to be involved. However, there is no way back for her now......
