I don't know how Li Yang did it, but the next day the exile team was on the road again. Many officers and soldiers were added to the team, and only Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran knew that these officers and soldiers were Gu Yanming's men. The entire exile team had been completely taken over by Gu Yanming.
So when the old prince, the old princess, Gu Yanxin, Gu Yanlin and many others got on the carriage, only the people in Yiyonghou Mansion complained, but it was useless. The officers and soldiers collectively pretended not to see it.
This time at the city gate, only Zhu Qian came to see them off.
"Xinran, I'll stay here for a few more days. After I finish my work, I'll come to find you!" After saying that, he glanced at Daoqin intentionally or unintentionally, then shyly withdrew his gaze.
Ye Xinran felt a headache after seeing this.
"How about I talk to the prince and ask Daoqin to stay?"
"No, no, that's not necessary!" Zhu Qian blushed, "I will go to the Northwest later, and then I will talk to him properly!"
"Okay!" Ye Xinran didn't bother any more.
The exile team set out again.
What everyone didn't see was that not far from the city gate, Shangguan Yanli, dressed in black and wearing a hood, was also watching the exile team. She said to the man next to her.
"Are you all ready?"
"Yes, Master!"
"Let's go!" Shangguan Yanli took another look and went in another direction.
She had her mission. She could only help the third brother up to this point.
The exile team walked for a day and stopped in a beautiful place with mountains and rivers at night and set up camp.
Knowing that most of the team members were from her own group, Ye Xinran was not stingy and directly took down a whole pig, a whole sheep, ten chickens, ten fish, fifty kilograms of edamame, and fifty kilograms of peanuts from the carriage they were sitting in to give everyone a snack.
We set up several fires and started to barbecue and cook edamame and peanuts.
Daoqin had learned the true teachings from Ye Xinran and was a first-rate barbecue chef. He taught everyone how to use barbecue seasonings. Soon, the roasted pork, roasted lamb, roasted chicken, and roasted fish all gave off an alluring aroma, whetting everyone's appetite.
Gu Yanxin led a few women to cook edamame and five-spice peanuts using Ye Xinran's recipe. The aroma spread ten miles away.
Even the people from Marquis Yiyong’s mansion had a share, and everyone ate with their mouths drooling.
It was not until midnight that everyone found a place to rest contentedly.
Ye Xinran sat by the fire, practicing martial arts, while Gu Yanming stood by her side.
Wait until everyone is asleep.
Suddenly, there was a slight clicking sound.
Ye Xinran opened her eyes instantly. Her internal strength had reached the peak of the fourth level and was about to break through, so she was particularly sensitive to any slight noise.
Gu Yanming, Jian Shu, Dao Qin, and the secret guards hidden among the officers and soldiers all became more vigilant.
Soon, many people in black rushed out from all directions, holding long swords and rushing towards them.
Ye Xinran instantly held two long knives in his hands and dodged the attack of the first man in black. He stabbed the man directly under the waist with a backhanded knife. The man failed to dodge and fell to the ground.
Gu Yanming held a long sword in his hand, and the sword light was as cold and icy as he was. Wherever the sword passed, the men in black fell to the ground.
He said to Jian Shu Dao Qin standing beside him, "Protect the old prince and the old princess!"
"Yes!" they said in unison.
The old princess and the old prince were also used to big occasions, and they stood there without panicking. They all had frowns on their faces.
Old Lady Jiang and Zhu from the Yiyong Marquis's residence were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they screamed from time to time! Yiyong Marquis still had some martial arts skills and could barely fight back. But he was also struggling.
Gu Yanxin looked at the fighting on the field and was very anxious. He spoke to Ye Xinran who was nearby.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you have any swords? I can fight too!"
Ye Xinran killed several men in black in front of him and looked at her. He raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure, you are not afraid?"
Gu Yanxin nodded solemnly, "I'm not afraid!"
Ye Xinran thought about it, quickly jumped onto the carriage, and quickly came out again, with a sword in her hand, which she threw directly to Gu Yanxin.
"This is for you! Be safe!"
Gu Yanxin took it, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the beautiful and exquisite sword in his hand, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
After saying that, he drew out his sword, and without waiting for the old princess to stop him, he rushed out and started fighting with a lone man in black.
At first, Jianshu was still watching over them, but gradually he found that Gu Yanxin's internal strength was not good, but his boxing skills were okay. So he ran to the side and continued to protect the old princess and the old prince.
The assassination lasted for more than an hour before Gu Yanming and his men wiped them out.
Just when everyone was relieved, a hidden arrow suddenly shot directly at Ye Xinran. Ye Xinran was startled and could not dodge in a hurry. She was ready to avoid the vital parts and resist.
Just when she thought she must have been hit by an arrow and was imagining the pain, suddenly Gu Yanming, who was not far away, rushed over regardless of everything and pushed Ye Xinran away with great force.
Ye Xinran was stunned, her eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Yanming in disbelief as he stood in front of her.
"Squeak"!
Hear the sound of the sharp arrow piercing the skin.
"Your Majesty! You..."
Before Ye Xinran could finish her words, she fell to the ground.
Then, everyone exclaimed.
"Master!" Jianshu exclaimed!
"Yan Ming!"
"Your Majesty!"
When Ye Xinran got up from the ground, she saw Gu Yanming lying on the ground with a pale face, eyes closed, and unconscious.
He was stabbed in the back with a sword, and the hair on his head was the color of orchid, which was obviously poisonous.
Ye Xinran's heart trembled, and she quickly pushed away the people around her and walked over to check.
Knowing that it was not a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon contact with blood, Ye Xinran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That's just perfect! Ye Xinran thought.
"Jianshu, quickly carry the prince to the carriage!" Ye Xinran pretended to be very nervous.
After hearing this, Jianshu gritted his teeth, quickly picked up Gu Yanming, and walked towards the carriage.
Ye Xinran followed quickly.
After settling Gu Yanming in the carriage, Ye Xinran said to Jian Shu.
"Jianshu, guard the carriage. No one is allowed to approach. I want to detoxify the prince."
"Yes, Princess!"
Jianshu's face was full of solemnity, and he and Daoqin stood guard beside the carriage, not letting anyone get close.
The old princess and the old prince were extremely anxious, but they also knew that they couldn't make a scene at this time. They also stood beside the carriage, waiting quietly.
Gu Yanxin's face was pale. Just now, she was almost chopped off an arm by the man in black. Fortunately, Li Yang appeared and saved her. But she was also scared. Seeing her elder brother was poisoned and unconscious, she felt unwell.
Li Yang sighed and patted Gu Yanxin's shoulder gently, "Don't be afraid, it's okay!"
Gu Yanxin raised her head, looked at him with red eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Will my brother be okay?"
Li Yang was startled. He didn't expect that the little girl was not worried about him, but about the prince. He was moved by the little girl's kindness and nodded.
"With the princess here, the prince will be fine!"
Gu Yanxin heaved a sigh of relief after receiving a positive answer.
In the carriage, Ye Xinran gave Gu Yanming an antidote pill. Then she carefully cut open the clothes on his back and pulled out the poison arrow.
