Everyone in the carriage was shocked.
Even the drowsy Nan Ronglang was startled awake.
He was actually a little scared at this moment. After all, if something really happened, others would just run away.
But he had trouble even taking a single step.
Bai Xi held the reins in one hand and the long sword at his waist in the other, staring at a black shadow flashing in front of him.
Fortunately, the horse showed no intention of stopping and acted like a passerby.
Just as the horse and the carriage passed by, the other party suddenly pulled the reins and shouted:
"I wonder if that's the carriage of the Princess Anping?"
Bai Xi slightly tightened his grip on the sword and said:
"Your Excellency has mistaken me for someone else."
When the man heard this, he said:
"Then I won't bother you all anymore. I'm in a hurry to help the Lan family deliver a letter to the county lady, so I'll be leaving first. Bye!"
A female voice came from the carriage:
"What message does the Lan family want to send to the county lady?"
The man seemed a little impatient and said:
"Since you are not the county lady, please do not ask questions.
Something happened in the Lan Mansion, do we have to let everyone know?
I take my leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the carriage door creak and be pushed open.
A maid came out and stood beside the carriage and said:
"My princess is the Princess of Anping County. I wonder who you are?"
The man on horseback immediately dismounted upon hearing this. Just as he was about to take two steps forward, he heard the maid say:
"Just stand there and tell me who you are.
What happened at the Lan Mansion? How did you know my princess was here?
The man stood where he was, clasped his fists and saluted, saying:
"My name is Zou San, and I'm a subordinate of Second Master Lan. The whereabouts of the county lady was revealed to me by the eldest master.
Old Madam Lan was suffering from a serious illness and was on the verge of death, but she struggled to see the county lady for the last time.
The letter clearly states it.”
The maid outside the carriage said:
"Oh? The old lady is seriously ill?
Then put the letter ten steps in front of you, then step back and I'll get it."
However, the messenger refused:
“This…I’m afraid that’s inappropriate.
The second master repeatedly urged that this letter must be delivered to the county lady personally.
If the county lady is worried, I can send the envelope to her for her review. It is written in the handwriting of the Second Master."
As he spoke, he put the envelope ten steps ahead and returned to his original position.
The maid came forward, took the envelope and passed it in through the window.
Soon a voice came out from inside:
"It really is my second uncle's handwriting!"
The carriage door was opened again, and the county lady got out of the carriage and said:
"Please bring the letter here."
The man walked towards the carriage and handed over the letter in his hand.
The moment the letter was opened, a cold light flashed!
The cold blade in the messenger's hand stabbed straight towards the county lady's heart!
