Shen Ning returned to Qin again, but this time with a different identity and a different state of mind.

"Your Majesty, Chenhuo Cheng is too late to save you." General Huo Xiao hurriedly came with people and knelt nervously.

Xiao Junhe asked meaningfully. "Before I could say anything about the assassins, the general said it was too late to save the driver?"

General Huo Xiao lowered his head and clenched his fingers.

Apparently, he did it on purpose.

"Your Majesty, the little general is panicking, using the wrong words, we sent troops today and encountered bandits, so we delayed the hour." The adjutant general hurriedly explained, and his face turned white with fright.

Xiao Junhe sneered. "Get up."

Huo Cheng is not a person who will easily panic and talk nonsense.

It seems that Huo Cheng is reminding Xiao Junhe of something.

Among those killers, could the forces related to the Qin State really come from within the Qin State?

"Get up and escort the princess back to the imperial capital."

Xiao Junhe spoke in a deep voice.

Huo Cheng nodded, got up and looked at the position of the carriage.

Shen Ning sat in the carriage, no one had seen the true face of Princess Zhao Guo, and no one knew who the woman sitting in the carriage was.

Huo Cheng had seen Princess Hengyuan before, but he didn't know if it was Hengyuan sitting in this carriage.

The Huo family did not receive any news about the changes in the palace of Zhao State.

It was Shen Ning who asked Hengjing to block the news in advance.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the inner ghost of the Qin State is real." Shen Ning said lightly and invited the emperor to get into the carriage.

Xiao Junhe got into the carriage and motioned for Huo Cheng to escort them all the way back to the imperial capital.

"There's something wrong with Huo Cheng." Xiao Junhe nodded.

"Actually, you can guess something." Shen Ning leaned on Xiao Junhe's shoulder. "Now that the princess of Zhao Guo is married into the Qin State as the princess of Zhenguo, the position of the queen must be that of the princess of Zhao Guo, there is no doubt that Your Majesty guesses, there is a master in the posterior, whose interests will be lost?"

"Do you doubt Huo Sinian?" Xiao Junhe lowered his head and asked. "She doesn't have that much ability."

With Xiao Junhe's understanding of Huo Sinian, if she didn't get the support of the Huo family, she wouldn't have that ability.

But the Huo family ...... It shouldn't be possible now, especially Huo Cheng, because of Huo Sinian's selfishness, to attack Princess Zhao Guo.

"What? I suspect that your sister is missing, and Your Majesty is not happy? Shen Ning snorted.

"What kind of flying vinegar do you eat?" Xiao Junhe was in a very good mood and hugged Shen Ning.

"Xiao Junhyuk...... Still in the carriage, what do you want to do? Shen Ning blushed and looked at Xiao Junhe warningly.

Xiao Junhe didn't care about this. "The princess invited me into the carriage, and if I didn't do anything, I'm sorry that the princess invited me graciously."

"Xiao Junhe......" Shen Ning was pressed under Xiao Junhe, and the roots of her ears were red.

Outside the carriage, the maidservants and guards could only hear the sound of thudding, and they all blushed.

Huo Cheng looked at the carriage suspiciously.

Your Majesty is not a person who is too frivolous towards women, and he is very cold to women, where is this princess of Zhao Kingdom sacred, so captured the emperor's heart?

Of course, how could they guess the emperor's thoughts, Huo Cheng came back to his senses and vigilantly looked around.

Huo Cheng knew very well that his father would not give up easily.

The princess of Zhao represents the power of Zhao, and once the power of Zhao enters the harem of Qin, it means that it is difficult for others to compete for the position of queen.

"Your Majesty, in another hour it will be Jiayuguan, Jiayuguan has many mountain roads, there are many bandits, and the mountain roads are rugged." Huo Cheng came to inform Xiao Junhe in advance and asked him to get ready.

"Well, set up camp before entering the valley, rest for the night, and continue on your way." Xiao Junhe was also worried that someone would buy bandits to kill people, so he asked Huo Cheng not to enter the mountain at night.

"Yes!"

But Xiao Junhe underestimated the perseverance of those who wanted to kill Shen Ning.

Even though they didn't enter the valley, they encountered robbers that night.

Under normal circumstances, robbers are robbing in the mountains, and will not take risks in the plains outside Jiayu Pass.

Moreover, robbers are generally reluctant to deal with the government and the imperial court, and robbers of government vehicles in normal traffic do not dare to rob.

But tonight, all the robbers covered their faces with black cloths, and thousands of people came together to hijack the procession.

It is not so much a hijacking as a massacre.

These people are here to kill.

"The carriage!" The leader spoke in a deep voice and struck at the carriage.

Huo Cheng's eyes were quick, and he made a quick move, scuffling with the man.

The horse was frightened, raised its head to the sky, and fled with the wagon.

"Princess, princess is still in the carriage." The maidservant cried out in panic.

When the robbers heard this, their eyes were deep. "Kill them, leave no one alive, and follow me to hijack the carriage."

Huo Cheng looked at the people left behind with cold eyes, blew a whistle, and the people who had been ambushed in advance ran out of the shadows and surrounded the robbers.

As for the robbers who went to chase the carriage, they also fell into the trap.

In the makeshift tent, Shen Ning and Xiao Junhe walked out.

"Your Majesty is truly an unpredictable prophet." Huo Cheng knelt on one knee in admiration. "Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, robbers came."

The emperor just glanced at Huo Cheng and didn't say anything.

Huo Cheng looked up at Princess Zhao Guo, those eyes were a little familiar.

Shen Ning was wearing a veil, and Huo Cheng could only see her eyes.

"How did Ning Er guess that if they didn't enter the mountain tonight, they would also come to sneak attack?" Xiao Junhe asked with a smile.

His Ning'er is really smart, and she accurately calculates every time.

"If the other party wants to kill us, he must have set up an ambush in advance, and he will not change because we enter the mountain or not, and he is not a real robber." Shen Ning muttered in a low voice, Xiao Junhe had guessed it earlier, but he still deliberately asked her.

This clearly highlights her intelligence and uniqueness in front of Huo Cheng.

"Princess...... That's smart. Obviously, Huo Cheng's face turned white and he spoke in a low voice.

"General Huo, be careful!" Seeing that the robbers who were being controlled behind him suddenly attacked this side, Shen Ning almost subconsciously stepped forward and pushed Huo Cheng away.

Huo Cheng and Xiao Junhe grew up together, there are not many people Xiao Junhe can trust, although Huo Cheng doesn't know whether it is credible or not, he has indeed helped Xiao Junhe a lot.

In the previous life, when Shen Ning died, Xiao Junhe led people to rush into the torture room to save her, and it was Huo Cheng who followed Xiao Junhe and fought hard.

For the sake of Xiao Junhe, Huo Cheng can be regarded as putting life and death out of the way in both lives.

In his previous life, as soon as Xiao Junhe died, how could Xiao Chengyin keep the Huo family and Huo Cheng, so Shen Ning could be regarded as owing Huo Cheng a life.

The robber's knife did not stab Huo Cheng, but scratched Shen Ning's arm.

Huo Chengleng stayed in place and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Kill!" Xiao Junhe's eyes sank, motioned to his subordinates to deal with the robbers, and nervously pulled Shen Ning into his arms.

"I'm fine." Shen Ning whispered to reassure.

"Treat the wound." Xiao Junhe took Shen Ning into the camp tent.

Outside the tent, Huo Cheng stood in place and was stunned for a long time.

This princess of Zhao Kingdom...... actually injured himself in order to save her.

It was their Huo family, but they had the heart of a villain and plotted to kill her.

His fingers clenched slowly, Huo Cheng's eyes were fixed, he couldn't let the Huo family make mistakes again and again, this time when he returned to Kyoto, he asked the emperor to take Huo Sinian away.
