I don't know how long it took, but a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the valley in the distance, and the horses neighed. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers in armor rode their horses to the front.

When they saw the corpses of the men in black all over the scene, and several carriages that had been overturned to the ground, they were all speechless in surprise.

The general clenched his fists, raised them, and gave the order: "Watch out!" All fenced in! ”

"Yes!"

The hundreds of cavalry behind him immediately became vigilant, surrounded the people at the scene, and watched everything in front of him. They saw a man who looked like the commander of the guards, slowly standing up from the sea of corpses and blood, holding a broken knife in his hand, walking towards them step by step.

The soldiers swallowed nervously and subconsciously retreated.

The cavalry general stepped forward, frowned and scolded the man to stop, otherwise he would be shot!

Hou Ji took out a blood-stained token from his arms, held it in his hand, and shouted, "Get out of here!" ”

The cavalry general was immediately furious.

When he saw the token in Hou Ji's hand, he quickly dismounted and walked over to him like a grandson, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Hou Ji coughed up two mouthfuls of blood foam and covered his chest, "What do you say? ”

"Please rest assured, the thief has escaped." The cavalry general bowed his hand.

Syllable!

Hou Ji slapped him directly, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't send someone to chase after you soon, if the eldest lady makes the slightest mistake, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

The cavalry general's cheeks hurt hotly, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly waved his hand to the back, and asked the deputy general to lead a few teams of cavalry to chase in the direction where the thief had fled, and he himself helped Hou Ji, who was not lightly injured, to sit down on a stone.

Hou Ji propped his knees and looked around, and saw that the two ladies and young masters in the middle carriage were fine, but they were a little frightened and couldn't stand on their feet, and spat out.

The convoy was suddenly attacked just now, and they fought desperately, relying on the firearms hidden under the carriage to repel the assassins, although they protected the two ladies and the young masters, but the eldest lady was taken away by the thieves, and the national teacher had already chased after them.

"Dare to ask, sir! Why hide your identity?! The cavalry general bent over Hou Ji's side and asked cautiously.

The token in Hou Ji's hand already represents their identity.

A big man from the capital!

"If you don't hide your identity, you're all attacked by thieves! If I were to reveal my identity, I really don't know where the team would go! ”

The cavalry general didn't dare to say much, knowing that this matter was not something that he should ask more about a local cavalry general, and the big man acted, so why bother to tell a small person like him?

He only saw that there was a signal for help from the Daji army in the sky here, so he hurried over, but who knew that it was still a step too late, the assassins had already fled, and the loss of the convoy was not small.

Hou Ji rested for a while, walked up to the two ladies with his injured body, reported the situation, and when he heard that Tangbao had been kidnapped, Murong Yue almost fainted, Song Qingwan frowned and said, "How can this be?" Look at this posture, the other party already knows our route! ”

Hou Ji bowed his head, "It's the subordinates who are not doing well, it should be that there is an internal response from the other party among the accompanying personnel, and the route is revealed in advance!" ”

"What about Sugar Baby?" Song Qingwan helped Murong Yue, "Is her life in danger?" ”

Hou Ji shook his head.

"There is no danger to life, please rest assured, Madame, the assassins did not storm Madame's carriage during the attack, but only killed us people, presumably their master gave them a death order, to live."

"The eldest lady was taken captive, there should be no danger to her life, besides, the national teacher has already chased after her, as long as the person is still in the territory of Daji, there is a chance to save it! Please rest assured, Madame, I will arrange it immediately! ”

"Okay...... Song Qingwan looked at Hou Ji with a sad face, "You should be careful, treat your injuries first." ”

Hou Ji arched his hand and left with a heavy heart, the cavalry was already cleaning the battlefield and separating the corpses of the two sides.

Hou Ji turned his head to look at the cold corpses of his subordinates, squinted his eyes, and said softly: "Take good care of your brother's corpses, and return them to the family afterwards, as for these assassins, carefully check them to see if there are any living mouths, and if they die, they will all cut off their heads." ”

The cavalry general clenched his fists and received his orders.

……

……

A few days later, Huainan City.

Murong Mansion, late at night, heavy snowfall.

The two women, Song Qingwan and Murong Yue, sat in the hall without saying a word.

They had been in Huainan City for five days, but they had not waited for any good news about the Assassins' abduction.

The manpower has all been dispersed, but Huainan is not the kind of place in the capital, Huainan is the same as Chuzhou, close to the Chu State, and the Chu State has a lot of power here, whether it is in the ranks of the government or the people, there are spies of the Chu State, they want to make it convenient for the assassins, and they can't stop them at all when they send people to the Hou Ji of the Chu State.

Hou Ji has ordered the local government and the army to stop all suspicious people by the prime minister's order, and the southern states of Daji seem to be completely martial law.

But for several days, there has been no good news.

In just five days, enough time for the assassin to leave the territory of Daji and arrive in Chu by boat with Sugar Treasure, the situation that Chen Chao feared the most still happened.

Hou Ji now pins his only hope on the national teacher Jiang Linglong.

Tang Bao and Jiang Linglong were in the same carriage at that time, and they were robbed by a big monk, and Su Xiu suddenly turned back, he entangled Jiang Linglong, and Jiang Linglong chased after the two of them afterwards, and I don't know where they went.

No one knows where a few people are now, and they may still be in the territory of Daji, but this possibility is extremely small, and the probability of being in Chu is greater.

In fact, Jiang Linglong has been following behind the big monk, she saw Tangbao being carried by the big monk all the way south, she had countless opportunities to save the little girl, but the annoying thing is that there is always a Su embroidery by her side.

So, several people entered the territory of Chu all the way, and did not stop until they entered the Jinling Palace.

At this time, Jiang Linglong knew who had sent these assassins.

She saw Emperor Chu sitting on the dragon chair.

Emperor Chu was very satisfied with the great monk and Su Xiu, and brought back the only daughter of the Chen Dynasty.

Emperor Chu looked at Jiang Linglong who chased into the palace playfully.

He asked Jia Yan, the old eunuch who was serving beside him, to bring a chair, asked Jiang Linglong to sit down, and then talked to Jiang Linglong again.

What he said, others don't know, only know that Jiang Linglong finally stayed in the palace of Chu State, accepted the invitation of Emperor Chu, and became the national teacher of Chu State!
