Seeing this, Qiu Qing was shocked and hurriedly said to the madman, "Young master, it seems there are others who share the same goal as us."
"Oh, really?" The madman was also somewhat surprised. He immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked ahead. When he saw the fast horses and the man on them who clearly wasn't a good person, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He instructed Qiu Qing, "We'll just take advantage of the chaos."
"clear."
Meanwhile, Yunzhi and her servants glanced at the fast horse that had surrounded them and the people on it, and asked coldly, "What brings you here?"
"Of course, I want your lives," the leading man replied calmly. His gaze towards Yunzhi and her servants was as if he were looking at dead men.
In their eyes, Yunzhi was just a rich young lady who certainly didn't know martial arts. So, killing her would be easier than stepping on an ant.
"Is that so? You want to take our lives? You'll have to see if you have the ability." Yunzhi sneered, then turned to Rumei and the others and ordered, "Take them down, and remember to leave them alive."
Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, the leading man burst into laughter and turned to his men, saying, "Did you hear that? She told these two women to take us down. Isn't that ridiculous? These few women think they can take us down? What are they thinking? Is she dreaming, still half asleep?"
Yunzhi remained unperturbed by the man's mockery and disdain, merely glancing at him indifferently before saying to Rumei and Rulan, "They are yours to handle."
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll beat them until they cry for their parents." Rulan nodded, already eager to try.
She didn't take these people seriously; dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.
"Alright, it's up to you now." Yunzhi laughed, turned around and went back to the carriage, completely at ease with Rulan and Rumei.
She had personally trained them; not only were their martial arts skills high, but they were also experienced in combat. She didn't take these few oddballs seriously at all.
What she's worried about now is the people secretly waiting to reap the benefits, because they haven't shown themselves yet, so she doesn't know what their methods are.
This is also why she didn't bring out her secret agents.
Only when those who were secretly spying on her came into the open could she reveal all her cards.
The Regent's Palace in the capital.
While Dongli Lu Cang was still handling state affairs in the palace, he saw Ming Yi rush in and report to him: "Your Highness, I have received news that someone is plotting against the Princess. I have already arranged for An Er to take a small group of people to follow them."
"Well done." Dongli Lu Cang praised Ming Yi, then glanced at the unfinished memorials on the table and directly ordered the eunuch waiting beside him, "Go and fetch the Emperor."
"Yes!" The eunuch nodded and turned to go find the emperor.
Where was the Emperor at this moment? He was in the palace, enjoying himself with his concubines. Of course, this was just an act for Dongli Lu Cang to see. In reality, he was waiting for news from outside the palace.
Today, upon learning that Yunzhi was leaving the capital, not only did Shi Qingyun send men to assassinate her, but he also sent men.
He felt this was a rare opportunity to bring down the Regent. As long as Yunzhi died, given how much the Regent cared about her, even if he didn't go mad, he would be devastated for a while.
