Gray Shadow took the order and hurried forward.
Two days later, the huge wedding procession arrived at the border of Nanyue.
Adjacent to Nanyue and Miluo Kingdom is a canyon with peculiar terrain, with cliffs on both sides. The river water at the bottom of the valley is like a surging sea, roaring through the strange rocks and steep banks like a galloping horse, stirring up waves of heroic and tragic waves, and then disappearing into thin air in an instant.
Above the river is a flat mountain road with lush trees, blooming flowers, and humid air. The autumn wind blows through the canyon, revealing a hint of chill.
Through this canyon, you will reach the Kingdom of Miro. Yue Nanyu will hand over to the wedding procession of Miro, and his mission will be completed!
Yue Nanyu deliberately slowed down his horse's pace and rode side by side with the red-armored guards behind him. He whispered, "It will take another two hours to reach Miro Country. Do you want to follow me back or..."
The red-armored guard had a cold face and said nothing. He looked up and kept sizing up the strange terrain with a serious look in his eyes. The journey was too smooth, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Yue Nanyu looked up at the sky. It was already noon, and it was time to set up camp and cook.
"Don't rest, keep moving forward!" the red-armored guard said coldly, his eyes stern.
Yue Nanyu was stunned. He realized that he must have discovered something, so he immediately passed the order down.
The team continued to move forward without any intention of stopping.
On the top of the mountain, a man in blue stood facing the wind, his clothes fluttering, as if he was about to fly away against the wind, his pair of blue eyes fixed on the team walking below the mountain.
"Master, the team doesn't seem to plan to stop!" Behind him, a masked man in gray stepped forward and whispered.
Looking up at the sky, the man sneered, "They will stop!"
As soon as the words fell, the originally clear weather
The sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the river seemed even more violent, roaring towards the flat mountain roads on both sides, blocking the team's progress.
Yue Nanyu was slightly stunned, and looked up at the sky. It seemed to be raining! How could the weather change so quickly?
A guard came running up from behind, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince said it's going to rain, and asked if we could find a place to rest. It will be windy and rainy soon, and if we force our way through, it might be dangerous!"
Yue Nanyu instinctively looked at the red-armored guard.
The red-armored guard nodded, but held the reins tightly with both hands. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are natural phenomena that cannot be controlled by humans, but the fear is that they will be used by someone with ulterior motives.
Seeing that he agreed, Yue Nanyu immediately ordered, "Withdraw the team ten miles and find a safe place to rest. It won't be too late to move on after the wind and rain stop!"
"Yes!" The guards took the order and the team quickly turned around and walked back.
On top of the mountain, the wind was so strong that people could hardly stand.
The men in gray looked at the man in green with admiration. Their master was indeed the god sent by heaven to save the country of Louxi. He could even calculate this!
Tianwen watched the team retreat. Last night he observed the sky and predicted a storm, which indeed came just in time.
"Since God is helping us, we should make good use of it! Gray Wolf, you will sneak into the team while the rain is falling. Remember, it is best to succeed before alerting them. I am afraid..."
Tian Wen frowned. When the team left the city that day, he stood not far away and stared. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, one of the guards next to Yue Nanyu was obviously very strange. If it was that person... he'd better be careful!
“Yes, my lord, but Zhuifeng hasn’t sent any news yet, and the young lady is still in the team!
”
Gray Wolf was a little worried. What if they really started fighting and accidentally hurt the young lady? Because they heard that the young lady had changed her appearance, they didn't know which one was the young lady, so they would be a little restrained in the fight.
Tian Wen suddenly raised his icy white lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his blue eyes, "Do you think you can hurt the young lady with your skills? I'm worried that the young lady will interfere in this matter!"
He had seen Lan Shuiyao's skills and knew she was definitely capable of protecting herself. He was just afraid that she would interfere with his plans without knowing it.
Even so, Gray Wolf felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he followed the order and took a dozen people down from the mountain before the storm came.
Yue Nanyu ordered the soldiers to quickly set up the tents. Just as they finished, a violent storm came and everyone was trapped under the mountain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Yue Nanyu stayed in the tent with the red-armored guard, chatting about random things.
From afar, through the rain, I saw a graceful figure holding an umbrella and walking towards the accompanying palace maids.
"Isn't that Prince A Luo? Why is he out instead of staying in the carriage with the imperial sister?" Yue Nanyu asked in a low voice. As soon as she finished speaking, the red-armored guard beside her disappeared.
Yue Nanyu was stunned. Did something happen? She didn't care about the pouring rain, and rushed out of the tent and caught up with Prince A Luo, "Where is the imperial sister?"
Ah Luo was startled, then turned around gracefully, looking beautiful and charming in a bright red robe. "The princess is in the carriage, she said she wanted to eat Nanyue's fermented rice balls, I'll go get them for her!"
"Don't you have servants? Why do you have to go get it yourself? And it's raining so heavily!" Yue Nanyu asked suspiciously.
Ah Luo smiled faintly, "It was the princess who asked me to express my feelings.
The princess is the prince's sister, doesn't the prince know her temper?"
Yue Nanyu was choked by this sentence and had nothing to say.
A Luo turned around gracefully, and even in the pouring rain, he was able to remain calm and gentle as usual, and walked away slowly.
These days he was afraid of his father and mother's spies, so he didn't dare to visit Lan Shuiyao.
Taking advantage of the rain, he wanted to go over and take a look, firstly to comfort his homesickness, and secondly to confirm his plan. If he entered the territory of Miro, it would be even more difficult for him to see her again!
Although he was holding an umbrella, his red robe was still splashed wet. Luo raised his head slightly and walked towards Lan Shuiyao's tent step by step.
Every time he took a break, he would send someone to confirm the location of Shuiyao's tent. Late at night, he could feel at ease just by looking in that direction.
Just as he was about to lift the curtain, there was a sudden noise behind him, and Leng Jiu ran over like crazy and threw himself in front of him, "Your Highness, something...something happened, the princess..."
A Luo was stunned and his heart sank. He quickly threw away the umbrella in his hand and followed Leng Jiu to the carriage.
He was not worried about Nanhan, but about this marriage. According to the rules of the Miro Kingdom, only the prince could inherit the throne after the wedding. He was already impatient to wait, and he didn't want to be bound by anyone anymore!
The bodies of more than a dozen people who looked like guards were lying under the carriage, but it was obvious at a glance that they were fake. A guard in red armor stood in front of the carriage, the cold sword in his hand shining coldly in the rainstorm, and his face was ferocious.
The curtains of the carriage were wide open, and Prince Yongning stood in front of the carriage, shaking with anger.
A Luo rushed to the carriage and the scene inside made him open his eyes wide in horror.
South
Han was lying in a dishevelled state in the gorgeous carriage.
King Yongning waved his hand, and the curtains fell, blocking out all the scenery inside.
A Luo rushed forward, but the red-armored guard pointed a sword at his forehead and said in a cold and gloomy voice, "Why is there no one guarding the carriage?"
A Luo shook his head: "Impossible, before I left, there were guards to protect the princess, I..."
When he lowered his eyes, he saw a pair of legs under the carriage. A Luo waved his hand and Leng Jiu hurried over to pull the people out. However, he didn't expect that the people he pulled out were more than a dozen guards, who were the same guards who had been guarding the carriage before.
"Prince Yongning, you saw that our prince left behind guards! We don't want anything to happen to the princess, but what does it mean that your guards pointed their swords at our prince?"
Yue Nanyu grabbed the red-armored guard's arm and whispered in his ear. Gloom and bloodthirstiness surged into the guard's eyes. He coldly threw the sword to the ground and instantly disappeared in the dense rain curtain.
A Luo asked anxiously, "What happened to the princess?"
Yue Nanyu didn't say anything until Xiaoyu rushed over crying, then he waved his hand and let Xiaoyu in.
He had checked before. Nan Han was not in danger of death. She just fainted. It was just...
Xiaoyu's loud screams were heard from the carriage, followed by Nanhan's sharp screams of fear.
Prince Yongning stood outside the car, raised his head to the sky and said loudly, "Nanhan, Brother Qi will make the decision for you!"
Nan Han suddenly became quiet in the carriage, but soon began to sob softly, suppressed and painful.
"Who did it? Why didn't they leave any survivors?" A Luo suddenly understood. He walked up to Yue Nanyu and asked coldly.
