In fact, as soon as they left Luzhou, Xiao Ti noticed that someone was following behind him, but Xiao Ti pretended not to find anything and continued to hurry.

It wasn't until after dark that the group stopped to rest.

Xiao Ti then quietly told the others that they were being followed.

They pretended to be asleep and deliberately showed their flaws.

Sure enough, the group of Assassins appeared.

It was originally a good layout, as long as they could capture the assassin alive, they could ask who the real culprit was behind the scenes.

As a result, Deng Luyun messed up.

It was the first time he'd suffered a setback in his age.

The teenager's self-confidence fell into underestimation, and the whole person wilted.

Yu walked over and crouched down, reached out and ripped off the face towel from one of the Assassins' faces, seeing that the other party was unfamiliar and he didn't recognize.

When she saw the Assassin carrying a quiver behind him, she took out an arrow and looked at it, recognizing it immediately.

"This is the assassin who attacked me last night."

Xiao Ti asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Yu Yuan shook the arrow in his hand: "This arrow is exactly the same as the arrow that attacked me last night, they should be the same group." ”

Xiao Ti looked at the assassin's corpse on the ground, then at the carriage next to him, frowning slightly.

"These Assassins came at you twice, but you don't know them, could it be that there is something about you that they want?"

Yu Yuanxuan reacted quickly: "It's that jade bracelet!" ”

Xiao Ti agreed with her guess.

"The reason why Li Niang died at the beginning was probably related to the jade bracelet, and now the bracelet is in your hands, so the people behind the scenes are eyeing you again."

Hearing him mention Liniang, Deng Yuchuan couldn't help but speak.

"It must have been sent by Empress Dowager Deng, she didn't want people to know about the existence of the bracelet, for fear that her crime of murdering her sister would be exposed."

Xiao Ti felt that it was not so simple.

"Assuming you're right,

If the Queen Mother was really afraid that the crime would be exposed, she would not have sent someone to kill Li Niang.

Anyway, she is the queen mother, even if Li Niang goes to sue the emperor, she can't help the queen mother.

There is no need for the Queen Mother to do anything more.

There must be a bigger secret hidden here. ”

A secret that the real murderer behind the scenes must hide even if he kills everyone.

There is so little evidence that speculation alone will never confirm the truth.

The nurses dug a pit on the spot and buried all the bodies of the Assassins.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, they set out on their way.

Yu sat in the carriage and looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist.

Seeing this, Ling Hai couldn't help but ask.

"Did you think of something?"

Yu Yuan: "For such a small bracelet, so many people have died, first my mother and stepfather, then Sun Dalang's family, and Li Niang, now that this bracelet has fallen into my hands, will I also ......"

Ling Hai interrupted her hurriedly.

"No, it won't! You're all right, you'll be fine! ”

Yu Yuan smiled.

She put down her hand: "Accept your auspicious words, I hope I can live until the day when the truth is revealed." ”

As it turned out, her fears were not unfounded.

Along the way, Assassins attacked them repeatedly.

The goals of the Assassins were surprisingly unanimous—

It's all coming for you.

Once the assassination fails, they will not hesitate to commit suicide.

Even if Xiao Ti took precautions in advance and prevented them from committing suicide on the spot, it wouldn't be long before they would die of poison.

It turned out that the Assassins had taken the poison before they could act.

Once the mission is successful, they will immediately take the antidote, but if the mission fails, they will be poisoned and killed.

This kind of near-suicidal assassination method is enough to show the determination of the real murderer behind the scenes to kill Yu Yuanyuan.

Xiao Ti suggested: "Give me the bracelet." ”

If the Assassins were really coming for the bracelet, he would have taken all the risks.

Yu Yuan didn't want Xiao Ti to take the risk for herself, but she knew that she had a few catties and taels, and she had no ability to protect herself, so it was more secure to put the bracelet in Xiao Ti's hand.

So she obediently handed over the jade bracelet to Xiao Ti.

Soon they were attacked again.

The Assassins' goals this time became two-

Xiao tired and lingering.

Even though she didn't have a bracelet on her body, the assassins still didn't let her go.

After a fierce battle, the Assassins were defeated.

Deng Luyun reacted quickly this time, did not give the assassins a chance to commit suicide, and immediately caught people, unloaded their chins and limbs, and made them lose the ability to commit suicide.

It's a pity that it didn't work.

After a few moments, the Assassins were convulsed, spitting black blood, and then their legs were kicking and dying.

It was clear that they had already taken the poison, and they were now poisoned and died.

Deng Luyun hated it so much, but he was helpless.

Yu Xuan walked up to Xiao Ti, she looked at Xiao Ti with a bad face and said.

"Give me the bracelet."

Xiao Ti stood still.

Yu Yuanyu: "You also saw just now, their target is not only the bracelet, but also me.

No matter who the bracelet is on, they won't let me go.

Instead of taking the risk with one more person, you should put the bracelet on me. ”

Xiao Ti knew she had a point.

But he couldn't accept it.

"I won't let you face danger alone, even if you want to die, I will be with you."

When the man said this, his tone was extremely low, like a knife blade stabbing into the ground, revealing a resolute momentum.

Yu Yuan smiled, as if helpless and happy.

"Well, since you have to share the hardships with me, then I have no reason to refuse you."

So far, I haven't mentioned the words of returning the bracelet.

But when he is alone, he can't help but wonder, is he too selfish?

She wants to pursue the truth and avenge her mother and stepfather, and she is willing to do so, no matter how much risk she takes.

But Xiao Ti doesn't need to avenge anyone.

He could have been an outsider in peace.

Now he wants to put himself in danger for her.

Time passed.

They were getting closer and closer to Yujing, and the Assassins seemed to know that time was running out, and the attacks became more and more frantic with each attack.

Once, Xiao Ti was unfortunately injured.

Although it was only a minor injury, it made the uneasy feeling in his heart more and more intense.

He helped Xiao Ti to bandage his wounds, and his movements were very careful.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Xiao Ti took the initiative to reassure.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, and it will be fine in two days."

Yu Yuan opened her mouth, wanting Xiao Ti not to investigate any more, she could investigate the case of the Feng family alone, she didn't want Xiao Ti to be hurt for herself.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them.

Because she knew that Xiao Ti would not agree.

Changing places, if Xiao Ti was in deep danger, she would definitely not leave him.

She could only whisper in the end.

"Don't ride a horse, but ride in a chariot, lest the wound burst open."

Xiao Ti responded: "Okay." ”
