Mo Yunhan assumed Jiang Qingwan had hung it up, so he waved it casually, but no sound came out.
Seemingly having found a reason, he carried Xiao Hong toward the carriage.
I heard Luo Jiu's voice before I even got there.
"Your Highness, look at this mechanism..."
Following closely behind was Jiang Qingwan's gentle whisper, explaining very carefully and in detail.
Mo Yunhan felt increasingly uneasy.
This woman can be completely open with others, but she keeps things to herself when it comes to him.
He was clearly the person she should be closest to.
Suddenly, the sound of falling into water came from not far away, along with Lian'er's scream.
"Li Dou, Li Dou, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qi had already run over to rescue the people.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Qingwan leaned out of the carriage, only to meet Mo Yunhan's dark eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively tried to recognize it.
"Qinghui, go take a look."
"yes."
Qing Sui, who was guarding the carriage, immediately walked towards the river.
Su Liuer followed.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Luo Jiu.
"Sir, you must be thirsty after the journey. Please get out of the car and have some water."
Luo Jiu didn't even raise his head.
"I'm not thirsty."
Clearly, he hadn't understood Su Liuer's hint at all.
Mo Yunhan's face darkened even further.
"Old Luo, ask me about it when we get back to the capital."
Upon hearing his voice, Luo Jiu finally raised his head, but did not get off the carriage. Instead, he looked at the carriage privately and whispered, "Your Highness, after much thought, I have finally figured out who made those crossbows. My brother used to have a junior brother who was extremely skilled, but he was dishonest. After being expelled from the Luo family, he wandered the world and caused quite a stir. Later, I heard that he was killed and his body was never found."
"Along the way, the princess and I reenacted the process of the chariot breaking apart. Coupled with the appearance of those crossbows, I am certain that it was Old Ghost's doing. Only he is proficient in the Luo family's methods and could come up with such a wicked idea."
Jiang Qingwan frowned slightly.
"The order to suppress the bandits was only given a few days ago. The manufacture of crossbows is relatively simple, but destroying chariots is not an easy task. I'm afraid Qin Minglang had this plan in mind all along. Whoever is ordered to suppress the bandits will be in trouble because of the chariots, and the responsibility will naturally fall on the person who provided the chariots. This person called Old Ghost should be in the capital."
Mo Yunhan suddenly remembered what Su Liuer had said when she was investigating the Golden Hook Saber.
There are people skilled in mechanics in the ghost market.
I'm afraid it's this old devil.
Jiang Qingwan also remembered something and immediately looked up and said, "Mo Yunhan, do you remember when you were injured in the Ghost Market? The crossbow with traps and the short arrows coated with poison, it seems that the person that day was Ghost Face."
The two of them thought of the same thing almost instantly.
Mo Yunhan's gaze fell on her small face, now filled with a burning intensity.
At this moment, Lian'er and Qing Sui helped the soaking wet Li Dou over.
Ye Qi grinned, showing off his white teeth.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this fellow went fishing and plunged into the river. When I pulled him out, he actually had a fish in his mouth."
That fish was quite big, with a large tooth mark on its plump white belly. It probably never imagined it would be bitten to death like that.
Su Liuer glanced at him with disdain.
"You've been eating jerky all the way here, your mouth must be getting bland. Since you're so capable, go catch a few more and roast them together."
Ye Qi scoffed.
"How about a contest to see who catches the most within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? One hundred taels of silver, are you in?
The Dark Guard Camp is different from Huai Lou.
Huai Lou has plenty of money. Every time Su Liuer argues with Ye Qi, she always mentions that "Huai Lou earns all the salaries of the Dark Guards."
Ye Qi disagreed with this statement, but couldn't refute it.
Although the two were of the same rank, he was inferior to her in every way.
Su Liuer raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Let's compare then. One hundred taels is too little. Double it. Do you have that much?"
Ye Qi's face turned green.
Two hundred taels of silver was half a year's salary for him.
Wang Hao, not one to shy away from stirring things up, started egging them on.
"A grown man can't back down, bro, we're all waiting for this grilled fish."
Many people joined in the shouts.
Ye Qi raised his longsword.
"Whoever backs down is a coward, let's go!"
A large group of people went to the riverbank to catch fish.
Xiao Hong, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, jumped out of Mo Yunhan's arms and darted out after him.
Lian'er placed Li Dou on a stone next to the carriage and used a handkerchief to wipe the mud off his face.
Qing Sui patted the water off her hands and walked to Jiang Qingwan's side, saying, "Your Highness, Li Dou's pulse doesn't seem right."
Jiang Qingwan raised her hand to help her out of the car.
Qing Sui's sleeves were wet, and she was about to roll them up when an arm reached out to her first.
The black cuffs embroidered with gold dragons and pythons naturally belonged to Mo Yunhan.
Jiang Qingwan paused slightly, but did not look up. She placed her small hand on the carriage and jumped down with a little force.
As I landed, I was gently supported around the waist; the warmth of the palm made my skin tingle slightly.
Feeling a little awkward, she pretended not to notice, withdrew her arm, and squatted down next to Li Dou.
Lian'er had already cleaned Li Dou up.
With a square face and thick, furrowed brows, he seemed to be going through some kind of pain.
She raised her hand and gently placed the back of her hand on Li Dou's forehead. The touch was slightly cool, and he did not have a fever.
Just as she was about to pull back, Li Dou suddenly grabbed her wrist, closed his eyes, and became extremely agitated.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Li Dou was already incredibly strong, and Jiang Qingwan cried out in pain, feeling as if her wrist was about to shatter.
Mo Yunhan chopped at him with a hand chop.
Li Dou instantly lost consciousness, and his hand lost its grip.
