On the other side, Redsleeves frantically whipped the horses and quickly headed back the way they came.

At this time, they were hundreds of miles away from the hot spring mountain resort, and there were few people along the way.

There are no villages and towns to ask for help, and at this moment, she has only one thought in her heart, hoping that the guards behind her can delay a little longer.

"Red sleeves, go north, I remember that there is a small city over there."

Hearing this, Red Sleeves didn't think much about it, and directly controlled the steering of the carriage.

And just when he ran out for more than ten miles, there was a violent and deafening sound of horses' hooves from behind.

When I turned my head to look, I saw a group of men in black riding after them.

Seeing this scene, Red Sleeves' complexion changed greatly, and his hand waving the whip became more frequent.

After running for a while, he saw the city in the distance, and Red Sleeves felt a slight relief in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Just as they were getting closer and closer to the city, Redsleeves suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them and seemed to stop.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the black-clothed men who were chasing him had stopped.

Seeing this, Red Sleeves breathed a deep sigh of relief, it seems that these guys still don't dare to chase too deeply.

"Miss, those thieves have stopped."

"Well, let's talk about it in the city."

The carriage galloped all the way to the gate of the city, and the red sleeves directly took out Huo Junyao's token, and the city gate guards did not dare to stop it at all when they saw this.

When I arrived in the city, I stopped the carriage directly and saw the general on duty at the city gate calling.

"The lord of Zhaode is attacked outside the city, you can arrange someone to return to the palace of the eldest princess of the capital to report the news, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards."

When the general heard this, his face changed greatly, as a city near Gyeonggi, he had heard of the name of the county lord of Zhaode, which was the county lord given the title by the emperor to Zhenguo, and his status was extraordinary.

She was attacked, and that was a big deal.

"Someone, hurry up to the capital to report the news."

Inside, some of the guards stepped back.

In the capital, the eldest princess's mansion, Huo Jingzhi is still in the yamen, and the eldest princess of Ningyang is teaching Prince Wenruo to read.

Suddenly hearing hurried footsteps outside, she frowned slightly, and then heard Mama Zhao's anxious voice.

"Your Highness, something has happened, the third young lady was attacked outside the city."

"What!"

The eldest princess of Ningyang stood up in shock and walked out quickly.

"Just now, someone from Wannian County reported for help that the third lady was attacked in Wannian County."

"How's Yaoyao doing?"

"This old slave doesn't know."

When she heard the news just now, Mama Zhao was also very disappointed, and she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she hurriedly came over to report it.

"Quick, gather the government soldiers to go to Wannian County."

"I'm arranging for someone to go to the yamen to find the master, and let him ask His Majesty to borrow someone."

Soon the soldiers of the eldest princess's mansion galloped across their horses and went straight to Wannian County, almost at the same time as these palace soldiers left, the eldest princess of Ningyang also followed behind in a carriage.

Not long after, Huo Jingzhi in the yamen also got the news, his expression immediately changed, he didn't care about anything else, and rushed all the way to the imperial study.

Half an hour later, the 3,000 Shence army fell to the county seat of Wannian.

"What about the county lord? Where are the people? ”

Huo Jingzhi rode in from outside the city, and when he saw his wife and daughter, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, I'm fine."

Huo Junyao's complexion at this time was also a little unpleasant.

Don't look at her, she seems to have a lot of abilities, but after all, she has always lived in a peaceful era, and she has experienced such an attack.

When I went out today, I listened to Mama Xi's words and brought fifty guards, otherwise she was afraid that she would be cold at this time.

She had seen the horror of those thieves sporadically, they were really murderous, and they really scared her.

"Don't ask, Red Sleeves, you go and tell Grandpa Guo what's going on."

Seeing her daughter's pale face, the eldest princess of Ningyang was distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her to rest.

Red Sleeves also quickly explained what happened.

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi's face was gloomy, and he turned to the three thousand divine troops behind him and ordered; "Leave two thousand people to escort the eldest princess and the county lord back to Beijing, and the others will go with their own father."

"Red Sleeves lead the way."

Soon Huo Jingzhi took a thousand people and red sleeves to the scene of the attack.

The others, as well as the soldiers of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, escorted Huo Junyao and the others back to the capital.

When he arrived at the place where the crime occurred, when he saw the corpse in that place, the face of the red sleeves was very ugly, and Huo Jingzhi's face was also very ugly.

Fifty guards, not a single one survived.

"Come on, gather the corpses of these guards."

"Grandpa Guo, those people are definitely dead soldiers, one of them acted quickly and ruthlessly, and now that the bodies have been cleaned up, they must be afraid of leaving any clues."

Huo Jingzhi nodded, and then personally led people to search around.

Few useful traces were found.

"These guys are prepared, who do you know about the Red Sleeves leaving the Hot Spring Villa?"

Hearing this, Red Sleeves immediately understood what Huo Jingzhi meant.

They left the Hot Spring Villa, and it was also their young lady's temporary idea, because Xiaochan said that after finding Shi Ni, the young lady wanted to go over and have a look.

It was only an hour or two before and after.

These thieves can ambush here in advance, they must have gotten the news in advance.

In other words, someone in their hot spring resort leaked the news, or someone secretly watched the movement of the hot spring mountain resort.

"This slave is not very clear, I need to go back and investigate before I can figure it out."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, and after you find someone, don't rush to do it."

Redsleeves understood what he meant.

After a short time, the group returned to the hot spring villa.

"You deal with the matter here, these guards who protect Yaoyao will all be buried thickly, and their families will have to be appeased well, and if they lack money, they will be discharged back to the capital."

Along the way, Huo Jingzhi inquired in detail about what happened at that time, and he was also full of gratitude to these guards who swore to protect his daughter.

If it weren't for them sacrificing their lives to delay time, their daughters would not have been able to escape to Wannian County in time.

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, the slave and maid will take care of it."

Huo Jingzhi nodded and returned to the capital with the people.

"Coming back? Is Zhaode injured? ”

Imperial Study, since hearing the news of Zhaode's attack, Emperor Zhaowu was very anxious, and directly lent Huo Jingzhi, the most elite Shence army he left in the capital.

At this time, I was also relieved to hear a report from someone below that he had escorted Huo Junyao and the eldest princess back to the capital.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the county lord was not injured, but she was scared a lot, fortunately she went out with guards this time, and it was those guards who dragged those thieves and bought her time."

"Okay, it's good that you're not hurt, those guards are heavily rewarded."

Hearing this, Gao Fu was silent for a moment and spoke; "Your Majesty, I'm afraid those guards won't be able to come back."
