Shen Huaixu, who had already walked a long way, sat in the carriage, pulled the curtain and no longer looked outside.
"Miss, why don't you wait until they wake up before sending them off?" Xiaoman asked.
The young lady drew the designs for the gifts, selected the materials, and had the craftsmen make them.
Each wooden box contains a cute little wooden sculpture and an equally finely crafted ornament.
Chen Huaixu smiled slightly, "When I went to Huaizhou before, I knew I would be able to return soon, but this time I don't know when I will return. I will leave quietly to avoid seeing them cry."
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about taking Jiang Wei or Jiang Fu with her to the capital, but the emperor’s attitude towards her father, the Marquis, is still unclear, so it’s better not to take the risk.
She let out a long breath and gradually fell drowsy in the rocking of the carriage.
[Host, something seems wrong.]
Fu Tuan's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Shen Huaixu back from the brink of fading consciousness.
[A group of people are rapidly approaching your carriage, seemingly coming for you.]
What kind of outfit?
[It's quite rough, like a bandit.]
The eyeballs under her eyelids moved, but Chen Huaixu did not move. Xiaoman and the coachman Xiaohan were both martial artists. If she had been alert in advance, it would have been difficult for her to escape their eyes.
I just didn't expect that someone would actually want to attack her.
Soon, Xiaoman's urgent call made Shen Huaixu open his eyes. She asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, I don't know what kind of people are outside. Please stay in the carriage and don't move. Xiaohan and I will go and deal with them."
Shen Huaixu's eyes quickly cleared up, and she took out a paper bag from her arms, "This is a drug, hold your breath before you sprinkle it."
"Okay." Xiaoman took the paper bag and jumped out of the car.
A live broadcast of the situation outside appeared on the light screen. Shen Huaixu looked carefully at the people opposite him, then locked onto two targets and released the mechanical flying insects.
Someone is trying to sneak an arrow in.
As soon as Fu Tuan finished his reminder, an arrow flashing with cold light flew in from the window. Shen Huaixu dodged it by moving his body to the side, and the arrow stuck in the wall of the car.
She lowered herself, pulled out the arrow, and sniffed the tip. "Poison?"
【Highly poisonous! 】
"It's quite a hassle."
The next arrow came one after another, but was stopped by Xiaoman. She leaned close to the car window and called out "Miss".
Shen Huaixu comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
The assassination ended quickly. After Xiaoman got the name of the only remaining survivor, he took that person's life cleanly and efficiently, and left the aftermath to Xiaohan.
"Miss, it has been dealt with. It was sent by the eldest lady of the Jiang family in Huaizhou."
Shen Huaixu lifted the car curtain and asked in confusion, "Why did you come to assassinate me?"
