Chen Nian suddenly changed the subject, and his thoughts took a huge leap.
If she remembers correctly, the White Lotus Sect assassination attempt is expected to happen this afternoon.
Although only Ziwei would get hurt in the chaos, she was still worried.
She and Cailian are not the main characters; she doesn't have the protagonist's halo. Cailian is a marginal character, and they are the two most likely to get hurt.
Moreover, she wanted to use Ziwei as a shield, because Ziwei, that troublemaker, was quite unreliable.
"What's wrong?"
Having known Chen Nian for a long time, Ertai had become accustomed to Chen Nian's way of thinking. Sensing Chen Nian's unease, he asked with concern.
"I have this uneasy feeling that something is about to happen..."
Although she can't directly discuss the plot, that doesn't mean she can't offer hints.
"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side. Leave the rest to me."
Ertai held the person in his arms, gently stroked Chen Nian's head, and softly comforted him, secretly remembering Chen Nian's words, preparing to go find Emin later.
They didn't know that plans can change, and there was a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
...
After having lunch and resting for a while, the group headed to their next stop, Qijiang Town.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Clang clang clang—"
Upon arriving in town, they were met with the jarring sound of gongs and drums. Seeing the crowd bowing and worshipping with devout expressions, Chen Nian frowned and moved closer to Ertai.
As I frantically searched my memory for details of this part of the story, a strong sense of unease rose within me.
"Ertai, how many people are with us?"
Chen Nian looked up and asked Ertai in a low voice.
“There are twenty or thirty people following us now. After you told me at noon, I mentioned it to Lord Emin, and Lord Emin secretly arranged for several dozen more people to hide in the crowd.”
Sensing Chen Nian's unease, Ertai reached out and held him firmly in his hand.
What he didn't say was that he also arranged for people to be in the crowd.
"Okay, we won't join Little Swallow in the fun this time. If you want to see it, we'll find another opportunity next time."
Not to mention Shen Nian, who felt uneasy, even he felt a strong sense of unease upon arriving in Qijiang Town.
"Um."
Chen Nian wasn't one to make trouble unnecessarily. Despite the excitement, she valued her life highly, and she wouldn't have gone with Ertai if he hadn't told her to.
She only feels safe when she's with Ertai.
For some unknown reason, she turned around and looked at Yongxuan, who was standing next to Qing'er, and waved to him.
When Yongxuan saw Chen Nian looking for him, he went over and heard Chen Nian's threatening words as soon as he arrived.
"Yongxuan, you'd better keep a close eye on Qing'er for the next period of time. If anything happens to Qing'er, don't blame me for breaking up the couple."
Chen Nian stared at Yong Xuan with a friendly smile, but his eyes were serious.
"Don't worry, it definitely will."
When it comes to serious matters, Yongxuan's intelligence is always on point, and he nodded seriously to Chennian.
"Um."
Having dealt with Qing'er, Chen Nian looked at Cai Lian, who was following beside him, and became worried.
What should Cai Cai do? Xiao Yan Zi has Yong Qi and Benjamin, Qing Er has Yong Xuan, and she has Er Tai. Only Er Kang is left. Er Kang is definitely not reliable, so she doesn't trust him with Cai Lian.
The scene will definitely be chaotic, so it's best for one person to protect another to minimize the chances of injury.
Those around the Emperor cannot be touched either. If something happens to the Emperor, it would be disastrous. Therefore, it is impossible for Emin and Fuheng to be brought in to protect Cailian.
And myself...
