Chapter 377 Settle Down First
"And if Qingyan and the others stay, I will definitely miss them too."
"So it would be better for her to leave first and leave all the guards to us, which would also allow us to escape earlier."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guiren and his servant looked at each other and nodded as if they understood, but in their hearts they admired the Imperial Concubine even more.
The fighting outside was indeed fierce.
After about half an hour, the sound of swords and knives gradually subsided, and the assassins were finally repelled.
Wei Cheng hurried forward and said, "Master, please leave first. I will... pack up."
The Great Chu Emperor still did not open the curtain, and asked through the curtain: "Do you have any evidence?"
Knowing that since these people dared to assassinate him, they would naturally not leave any survivors, or they must be death warriors.
The Emperor of Great Chu naturally would not ask whether the other party was dead or alive.
Wei Cheng shook his head, and then realized that His Majesty couldn't see him, so he quickly said, "My Lord, I'm searching, but I haven't found anything yet."
The Emperor of Great Chu did not speak again. Wei Cheng paused for a moment, then looked at Ying Yi, and ordered five guards to stay and search with him, while the rest escorted His Majesty to continue forward.
Song Qingyan and her companions rode their horses along the way, but their speed was not very fast.
Song Qingyan knew that the guard driving the car was concerned about her physical discomfort, so she said, "Go quickly, don't worry about me, safety is the most important thing."
After receiving Song Qingyan's order, the guards in front no longer restrained themselves and swung the whip in their hands even harder.
Several people in the car looked at Song Qingyan worriedly, but no one said anything.
[So, I can’t really be a crow mouth, right? ]
[No, I haven't said it yet. I just thought about it, and then an assassin came.]
[Last time I encountered an assassin, I think it was me who said there were no assassins. Why is it like this again this time?]
Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan lay down heavily on the ground.
【Ah~ I'm dead. 】
[I feel guilty towards my father. I even ran away with my mother. Wouldn't my father think that my mother and I are heartless? ]
Jinyu, who had been hesitating for a long time, chose this moment to ask: "My queen, if we leave like this, His Majesty will not..."
Song Qingyan smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is well-versed in military books, how could you not see through this?"
In fact, she was also unsure.
But it doesn't matter. Even if Your Majesty doesn't understand, I can explain it to you when we meet.
After walking for only two incense sticks, they had gradually left the mountain path and walked onto the official road. Along the way, Pei Chuyan was also nervous.
After reaching the official road, Pei Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief, finally safe.
Then he ordered the guards in front to slow down.
He came to the side of the curtain again and said, "Madam, we are on the official road. It's safe."
[It may not be the case even if you go to the official road...]
[Ah~ Help, I can't think anymore, I have a crow's brain, as long as I think, I will have it. ]
[I miss my father! He should be out of danger now, right?]
[The guards selected by Wei Cheng are so powerful. The Dragon Shadow Guards around my father are also very powerful. Last time, there were more than a hundred assassins and nothing happened. This time, it seems that there are not that many.]
[It should be fine.]
Going further ahead, I actually saw the city wall.
Because Xia Ning had prepared the pass early on, and because he was worried about any accidents on the road, he prepared two copies.
The guard in front slowly slowed down and turned to ask, "Madam, we are just ahead of Dingze City. Should we wait for the master or go into the city first?"
Song Qingyan hesitated, thinking about this matter in her heart.
Instead, it was Qiong Hua who spoke up: "My queen, let's go into the city first. You are not feeling well now, find a place to rest first."
[That’s right, I’ve been running all the way. If I don’t rest early, I’m afraid my condition will get worse.]
Jinyu also spoke to comfort her: "Your Majesty, please stay here first. When His Majesty arrives, we will arrange the next journey."
Song Qingyan finally nodded.
Jinyu happily handed the pass in her hand to the guard outside.
They entered the city smoothly and found a restaurant to stay in.
After making arrangements for Song Qingyan and preparing the food, Pei Chuyan walked to the bedside and said, "Madam, I will ask the driver to go find the old man."
Pei Chuyan himself was not comfortable leaving Song Qingyan and others here alone.
Song Qingyan nodded: "Okay."
Pei Chuyan responded and left.
Song Qingyan was forcibly pressed on the bed by Qionghua and Jinyu.
[Mother, I am so sleepy every night. ]
When Song Qingyan looked over, Lu Xingwan had already fallen asleep on a chair beside her.
Song Qingyan quickly pointed over: "Jinyu, Wanwan."
Jinyu turned around and saw Lu Xingwan, who had fallen asleep leaning on the chair. She walked over and picked her up, and said with a distressed look, "It must have been hard for you to follow me these past few days."
Song Qingyan nodded, and her eyes gradually closed weakly.
Qiong Hua then breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the Queen would be able to recover after a short rest.
But about an hour later, Pei Chuyan knocked on the door again and asked softly, "Is Madam awake?"
Qionghua shook her head.
Now that she was already very familiar with Pei Chuyan, there was naturally no need to be polite.
Seeing that Pei Chuyan seemed anxious, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"The driver who drove the car earlier," Pei Chuyan paused as if he was not used to this title, "we have been out of the city for about an hour, but there is still no sign of him. I thought, let's go and take a look."
"You go!" Knowing that Pei Chuyan was worried about the safety of the Great Chu Emperor, Qiong Hua quickly took over the conversation and said, "There should be no problem here."
Lu Xingwan was also awakened by the sound of the two people talking. She sat up straight and looked at the two people talking in front of her.
[What took so long? It took us no more than half an hour to get here, right?]
[It should have caught up by now, why hasn't he made any move in such a long time? Could it be that...?]
[Pooh, pooh, pooh, I can’t think about it. I have a crow’s brain and I can’t think about it.]
[Father will definitely come back safely, bringing Yue Guiren and Sister Xiaokui with him. ]
Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan looked in the direction of Pei Chuyan and said, "Be careful."
These two words instantly relieved the anxiety of several people.
Jinyu hurried forward and picked up Lu Xingwan: "Our Wanwan is someone who cares about you, Master Pei... please go now."
"It's been so long now, it should be fine now."
Pei Chuyan nodded, then turned and walked out.
As he expected, something happened at the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, he saw many people carrying their luggage and surrounding the gate, shouting.
The city gates were tightly shut.
He gradually slowed down his pace, got off his horse, and wanted to go forward to find out the news.
