Chapter 475 Caught Alive
When the assassin ran towards the carriage, Mei Ying and Lan Ying flew forward, drew their swords, and separated the assassin from the carriage.
The continuous noises coming from outside made Jinxin and Jinyu even more frightened.
After all, the queen was not around, and this was the first time they were attacked.
Most importantly, the princess was with them.
Lu Xingwan was also not idle.
She held Jinxin and Jinyu beside her with her own hands respectively, and could even feel the sweat in Jinxin's palms.
[Sister Jinxin is too nervous. Why is she sweating? 】
Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan pulled his hand out of Jinyu's palm and began to search for the handkerchief.
Jin Yubei was startled by Lu Xingwan's action and quickly turned to look at her: "Princess, what's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
But I saw Lu Xingwan carefully wiping the sweat from Jinxin's palms.
The two looked at each other, were slightly stunned, and then laughed.
"The princess has always been a loving child." Jinxin's face showed emotion.
After all, Jinyu has practiced some martial arts, so she is braver than Jinxin.
Lu Xingwan's little action instantly eased the atmosphere in the carriage, and the tension was gone.
Jinyu saw Lu Xingwan wipe Jinxin's hands and put away the handkerchief before she continued: "The princess is calmer than the two of us.
[Of course, this princess has seen all kinds of situations, why would she be afraid of a few assassins from your mortal world?]
[Besides, the first time I left the palace since I was born, I was surrounded by assassins.]
[Later, when I followed my father south, assassins came one after another, which became commonplace.]
[However, my father really has the aura of a protagonist. He has survived so many assassination attempts and is still safe and sound.]
When Jin Xin heard what Jin Yu said, she also raised her head with pride and said, "That's right, our little princess, that's a good sign, and she will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good luck."
Pei Chuyan was always a quick-witted person. While the people inside were only talking to each other for a few words, the fight outside was already over.
And Pei Chuyan caught a person alive.
Lu Xingwan clearly heard Pei Chuyan walk up to Mei Ying and Lan Ying and respectfully asked, "How are the two sisters?"
"Just a few thieves." It was Mei Ying who answered.
[It seems that in Sister Meiying's eyes, nothing is difficult.]
[Mother is going to the frontier to fight, and the four of them, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, can go with her.]
[When my mother went to the palace to fight, they followed her into the harem.]
[I didn’t know about the war in the past, but they have done a lot of things for mother in the palace these days.]
[Overthrow Consort De, overthrow the Empress, and find out the truth about my aunt's death. All of these things cannot be separated from these few people. 】
[It seems that having good helpers around you is the most important thing. When I return to the world of immortal cultivation in the future, I will also have to train secret guards for myself. ]
[Hey, this sounds familiar, did I say that before? ]
[No matter what, I need a secret guard anyway. I was always being plotted against in the world of immortal cultivation. It must be because I didn’t have a secret guard.]
Lu Xingwan had forgotten that people in the world of immortal cultivation could either detect other people's breath or hear other people's voices. How could there be any possibility for secret guards to exist?
Only Lu Xingwan's mind was busy, while everyone else was listening attentively to Pei Chuyan's voice outside.
"We caught a live person." Pei Chuyan's voice was lukewarm, but perhaps one could sense his happiness.
[They actually caught him alive. 】
[According to the plot in the storybook, they will definitely not catch anyone alive, and they will not be able to find out anything.]
Lu Xingwan was worried.
Qiong Hua finally couldn't help but lift the curtain, and the movement was so big that Pei Chuyan couldn't help but look over: "How is the princess?"
Qiong Hua nodded: "The princess is fine and safe."
"I heard that you have captured an assassin. Do you want to interrogate him? Do you need my help?"
Jinyu felt more and more that Miss Qionghua had become more and more erratic since leaving the palace.
Even Lu Xingwan felt it.
Mei Ying just smiled and shook her head: "It is said that everyone has their own expertise. There is no need to trouble Miss Qionghua with such a trivial matter as interrogation."
After saying this, Mei Ying waved to Pei Chuyan and whispered a few words into his ear.
Pei Chuyan looked at Mei Ying, nodded, and then said, "Rest where you are!"
"Just don't slack off and protect the young lady and those around her."
"Yes!" After a neat response, Pei Chuyan picked up the man and went to the woods nearby.
Meiying naturally followed him. After walking a few steps, she turned back to look at Zhuying: "Zhu..."
Zhu Ying seemed to know what she was going to say, and waved her hand: "Go ahead, leave this to me."
Mei Ying and Pei Chuyan moved very quickly.
The two men came back quickly, and Pei Chuyan was still holding the assassin in his hand.
[Prince Pei’s head is really big! 】
[You are still a child. The man is so tall, yet you can carry him several times.]
[And she was still carrying him while walking. ]
Just as Lu Xingwan was sighing, Pei Chuyan had already walked up with someone in his arms and spoke softly to Lu Xingwan in the car: "Princess,
We are afraid we will be delayed for several days.”
He wanted to stop talking after saying this, but he saw the princess's big, flashing eyes as if she was waiting for his next words.
He smiled and continued, "Miss Meiying and I just asked the assassin about something that involved people from the past. Why don't we go to the front and rest for two days so that I can report this matter to Your Majesty."
"Okay!" Lu Xingwan said happily.
[Of course we have to focus on the important things first. I still know what is important and what is not.]
[Wait, what did you mean by people in the past? ]
[The person from the past, the one left behind by the Empress? Or the one left behind by Concubine De?]
Lu Xingwan's guess was correct this time. These assassins were indeed left behind by Prime Minister Cui, and they had intended to attack Song Qingyan halfway.
However, considering that Song Qingyan was needed to lead the troops on the border of Da Chu, and that Song Qingyan was in a hurry and riding very fast, it was not easy for them to take action.
So I simply changed my target to Lu Xingwan, who was moving slowly behind me and was unimportant.
But he didn't expect that Pei Chuyan would catch him alive and leave him with evidence.
The sound of Pei Chuyan and Mei Ying talking in front could be heard from time to time.
"This matter should be reported to His Majesty in a letter." It was Pei Chuyan who spoke.
Mei Ying naturally raised her hands in agreement. She had always suspected that there were Prime Minister Cui's men around and they might threaten the Empress at any time.
The Queen naturally has the same idea.
But they never caught any evidence or anyone alive.
This time, we have finally got this opportunity, so naturally we have to report it to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty knows about this, many things will be much easier to deal with in the future.
