Chapter 57: The First Wave of Killers at Shili Pavilion
The farce over there was still going on, but Su Wanyan had lost interest in appreciating it. She lowered the car curtain and stretched out a finger again, poking at Ji Xiaohan's handsome face. "Ji Xiaohan, how much envy did you have in the past? Why don't you know how to keep a low profile? Look at how many people the dog emperor arranged to kill you."
Ji Xiaohan was a martial artist, so his hearing was naturally extraordinary. He also heard what the little princess had secretly instructed Xiao Wu to do just now. In his previous life, he didn't wake up until he and Su Wanyan were in the crazy bumpy carriage. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw her slender figure leading the killer away. He didn't expect that such a thing had happened before that.
The woman he had missed and felt guilty about all his life was actually killed by such a beast!
He remembered that when he went back to investigate the two criminal officials, Shen Xinhou was the person he least suspected. After all, he had not shown any hostility towards them along the way. On the contrary, he had secretly helped them persuade Liu Hongcai's family who had been causing trouble along the way. He did not expect that this person was hiding so deeply.
If his little princess hadn't discovered the clues in advance, I'm afraid that Shen Xinhou would have taken advantage of him along the way.

However, after the Shen family made such a commotion, the team was forced to stop. The officers finally showed mercy and let them rest there for an incense stick of time. After an incense stick of time, they had to speed up to the next stop. Otherwise, if they could not arrive before dark, everyone would have to spend the night on the official road.
When they heard that they were not going to speed up and would have to spend the night outside, who would dare to make trouble again?
They all took a rest on the spot to conserve their energy.
In fact, their team had only walked ten miles out of the imperial city gate. If they walked a little further, they would reach Shili Pavilion.
Rong Mama and Shaoyao, who had been waiting at Shili Pavilion early, were so eager that they bought an inconspicuous carriage. The coachman was secretly sent by He Bo, and he was also a guard of Prince Xiao's Mansion. At this moment, he was looking in one direction with them.
"Sixteenth brother, why haven't the prince and princess arrived yet? It's already so late." Shaoyao's face was full of worry, and she wanted to run back to find them in person.
"The exile team moves slowly. Don't worry, the prince and the little princess are safe. The people accompanying the two masters have all been selected by the uncle in advance. They will definitely not let anything happen to the two masters."
Xiao Shiliu, ranked sixteenth in the Dark Guard Battalion, was assigned by He Bo to protect the two servants beside the young princess, and to sort out the assassins who might be lying in ambush at Shili Pavilion in advance.
As expected, the dog emperor was guessed right by his master. He couldn't wait to take action even though he was only ten miles away from the imperial city.
Unfortunately, the strength of the first wave of killers was not very good. The five killers were killed before they could even withstand his ten moves.
Just when Rong Mama was about to give up waiting, she saw a group of people walking towards them from afar. Rong Mama's eyesight was not very good. She stretched her head and looked hard, but couldn't see clearly. She hurriedly asked, "Sixteenth Guard, come and see, are the prince and princess here?"
Xiao Shiliufei climbed onto the roof of the carriage, looked around for a while, and then climbed down again. "It's the exile team of the master and his men. I saw the carriage of our Xiao Wangfu."
"The prince and princess must be sitting in the carriage." Upon hearing this, Rong Mama patted her heart, "It is really the Bodhisattva's blessing and the Buddha's appearance that have allowed the two masters to have a safe journey."
