Chapter 391: Raid
The next morning.
Xiao Jin said that the drawing had been checked and it was indeed the original drawing.
Su Ying also packed her things and prepared to leave.
Mother Zhao and the others knew that Su Ying was going out of the palace to do some business, but the matter involved state secrets, so they didn't know what Su Ying was going to do.
"What kind of important matter is this that requires you, the Queen, to leave the palace in person? How about I accompany the Queen, so that you can have someone to serve you."
Bai Shuang and Lin Zhuyu knew that Su Ying was going to leave the palace, and they both actively expressed their desire to follow her, but were rejected by Su Ying.
"I'm going out of town for some business, not for vacation. You'll only get in the way if you follow me. Stay in the palace and keep an eye on the little princess and the others for twelve hours. Don't let them get into any trouble."
Su Ying spoke decisively, and Bai Shuang and the others could only send Su Ying out of Fengluan Palace with red eyes.
Su Ying came to the imperial study room after disguising herself and wearing the uniform of the imperial guards. Xiao Jin had been in the imperial study room checking drawings with the ministers last night and had not slept all night. He couldn't sleep either. Whenever he thought about the possibility that Su Ying might be in danger if she left, he felt distressed and uncomfortable.
Su Ying took the packaged drawings and turned to leave, but was hugged by Xiao Jin from behind.
Su Ying paused, turned around and looked straight into his eyes.
"No matter what happens, all you have to do is protect yourself."
"Shouldn't you tell me that I must protect the stack of blueprints on my body even if I die?"
"As your man, I just want you to live well."
Su Ying hugged him tightly with her backhand, "Got it, stop nagging, I'm leaving now."
Su Ying suddenly let go of her hand, turned around and walked away without looking back.
Zhang Shuming had already asked someone to prepare a thousand-mile horse. After leaving the palace, Su Ying jumped on the horse and rode away as fast as lightning.
At normal driving speed, it would take at least ten days or half a month to get from the capital to Jingzhou, but if you ride a horse day and night without stopping, the time can be shortened to less than five days.
Su Ying avoided the largest streets and left the city before it became lively.
After leaving the city, Su Ying took the official road. Along the road, she could see road signs on the side of the road that could guide her in the direction.
Not long after she ran onto the official road, she saw a carriage parked on the side of the road in the distance.
Su Ying didn't care and had no intention of slowing down.
But just as she was about to run past the carriage, a figure suddenly rushed out.
"Help! Help!"
Behind that person, a man chased out and slashed her in the back with a knife.
The person who was calling for help stiffened and fell to the ground with a thud. When the man saw someone coming, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Su Ying took out the light gun in her hand and shot the man in the calf.
"ah!"
The man endured the pain, climbed up and ran towards the woods nearby.
Su Ying slowed down her horse, walked to the fallen person, dismounted and checked the situation.
She reached out and touched the man's neck; his pulse had stopped beating and he was dead.
Su Ying frowned, she glanced at the girl, and got on the horse without hesitation. She didn't have time to meddle in other people's business, as Xiao Jin's men would arrive soon. Thinking of this, she flicked the whip and continued to move forward.
What Su Ying didn't know was that as soon as she ran away, the woman lying on the ground moved her fingers, her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
Su Ying was moving very fast. Even at noon, she had no intention of stopping. She just drank some energy water to replenish her energy and continued on her way. Even at night, she had no intention of stopping.
As night fell, Su Ying rode her horse to the outside of the post station.
She turned over and got off the horse, and when her feet touched the ground, she felt like her body was floating. She had not stopped for almost the entire day, and her skeleton was shaken apart.
Su Ying pushed open the door of the inn and walked in.
The servant working in the post station heard the noise and hurried out from the back room. Seeing Su Ying in her official uniform, he smiled and walked over.
"Where are you going on business, sir?"
Su Ying took out the imperial guards' token from her body, and the servant didn't dare to ask any more questions after seeing it.
"Sir, what do you want me to prepare for you?"
"A hot meal, a room to sleep in, and my horse was well fed."
"Okay, I'll go prepare it for you right away."
The servant took Su Ying to the upper room on the second floor.
"I will prepare food for you right away."
After closing the door, Su Ying sat cross-legged on a chair to regulate her breathing. Long-term shaking can easily cause muscle soreness. After regulating her breathing, nourishing the meridians with qi and blood can relieve the discomfort to a certain extent.
When the servant came in with the food, Su Ying opened her eyes.
"Sir, we don't have any good food here, please eat something nice."
Su Ying nodded slightly, and the servant left.
The servant brought a bowl of noodles with gravy.
Su Ying took out a bottle of medicine from her body, opened it and poured a drop into the noodle bowl. After a while, when there was no change in the bowl, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After eating, she asked for some hot water, did a simple wash and went to bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was still dark outside.
In order to save time, Su Ying quickly got up, ate some dry food and went downstairs.
The servant woke up when he heard the noise and said, "Sir, it's still dark, why are you up so early?"
"We need to hurry. Have you fed your horses?"
"I'm full. I fed you last night and just fed you again."
"Well, bring it out."
"yes."
Su Ying arrived outside the door, and soon the servant led the horse out.
Su Ying grabbed the reins, jumped onto the horse swiftly and continued on her way.
After resting all night last night, Su Ying did not plan to rest tonight. She planned to spend the rest of the time traveling.
After entering the southern territory, the air became increasingly humid. As it was getting dark, she stopped at the foot of a mountain, intending to make some simple repairs before continuing on her way.
Su Ying ran to a big tree, dismounted, and walked to the roots of the tree to rest.
Two days have passed, and I still don't know what the situation is in Jingzhou.
Su Ying leaned against a tree trunk to regulate her breathing and relax her mind.
A half-yellow leaf slowly fell from above her head.
Seeing that the leaf was about to fall on her, Su Ying suddenly opened her eyes, drew out the dagger at her waist and quickly chopped at the leaf.
"Clang"
The leaf broke into two pieces in an instant, making a crisp metallic collision sound as it fell to the ground.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly scanned the surrounding situation.
In the darkness, there were black shadows moving towards this side quickly.
Su Ying stood up and walked to the horse, taking out a light gun from her body. She was too lazy to waste her energy on some trash.
When the other party wanted to get closer, Su Ying raised the gun in her hand and shot him.
"Um!"
A muffled groan was heard in the darkness, and it was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Seeing that their whereabouts had been discovered, those people did not hide anymore, but flashed and attacked Su Ying directly.
Su Ying's face was gloomy. He moved the lightsaber in his hand quickly, hitting the target every time.
"Twenty-one, twenty-two...thirty!"
With a "hiss", all the men in black fell into the night.
