Chapter 145 The group continued on their journey
At the same time, An Yi, who was on the treetop, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and fell from a height like a ghost. At the same time, An Er also jumped down from another tree silently and stood steadily aside.
"Did you hear that? There's a sound of fighting ahead." An Yi's voice was low and cold, and he pointed straight ahead.
An Er nodded slightly, his expression solemn, "It seems to be the place where Miss Lan and the others rest."
An Yi's eyes instantly became extremely cold, "Hmph! Who is so brave as to assassinate our future princess! Let's go and take a look." After saying that, An Yi's figure flashed, like a black lightning, and instantly disappeared into the night. An Er followed closely behind, his speed not slowing down at all.
When the two arrived at the scene, they saw Lan Xiyue and the other two engaged in a fierce battle with a group of men in black.
An Yi's eyes were like torches, and he touched An Er's arm beside him, "Do you want to go up and help?"
An Er frowned. If they took action, they would surely be exposed. But if they stood by and watched, if Miss Lan made a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous. Moreover, Miss Lan had saved his life before, so how could he stand by and watch her die?
Then An Er's figure flashed out like a ghost and joined the battle in an instant.
Seeing this, An Yi cursed inwardly and joined the battle without hesitation.
Their joining undoubtedly injected powerful combat power into Lan Xiyue's side, and Yunlei and Yundian suddenly felt the pressure reduced.
Lan Xiyue looked at the sudden appearance of An Yi and An Er, her eyebrows slightly raised. How could these two people suddenly appear? She didn't believe it was just a coincidence. Ha! They had been following her in secret! Okay, Mo Liyuan, you actually sent secret guards to monitor me, what a bastard!
Thinking of this, Lan Xiyue retreated to the carriage and stared coldly at An Yi and An Er. Were they also responsible for the deaths of those two beggars?
With the addition of An Yi and An Er, the men in black were quickly at a disadvantage.
Before long, all the men in black were taken care of by them.
Lan Xiyue's eyes moved between An Yi and An Er, and her expression, half-smile and half-smile, made it difficult to understand her thoughts.
"An Yi, An Er, the prince asked you to monitor me?"
An Yi and An Er were busy dealing with the bodies of the men in black. Upon hearing this, their bodies stiffened involuntarily.
An Yi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and slowly walked over. He clasped his fists and bowed, his voice full of sincerity, "Miss Lan, your subordinate and An Er are on a mission to Demon Valley Mountain under the orders of our master. Unexpectedly, while resting in the woods just now, we heard a fight here, so we went forward to investigate. We were surprised to see it was Miss Lan, so we immediately stepped forward to help."
Upon hearing this, An Er did not stop his actions and continued to deal with the corpse silently. He was not good at speaking, not as good as An Yi. Once he opened his mouth, it might be counterproductive. It was safer to do things honestly.
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashing in her eyes: "Do you think I believe it?"
An Yi's expression suddenly turned bitter. He shook his head helplessly: "Every word I said is true."
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly, with a hint of hostility in her tone: "Still want to fool me? Huh?"
When An Yi met Lan Xiyue's cold eyes, his body trembled involuntarily. He was secretly shocked. The coldness emanating from this Miss Lan was so similar to that of his master when he was in a bad mood, which made his heart tremble.
He lowered his head, not daring to meet Lan Xiyue's gaze.
"Why did the prince let you monitor me? I want to hear the truth." There was a hint of amusement in her tone.
Upon hearing this, An Yi quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, no, the master definitely did not let his subordinates monitor Miss Lan, it's just... it's just that the master is very concerned about you, Miss Lan, and wants to know what you are doing at any time." When he finished speaking, An Yi was shocked. It's over, how could he say it out loud? If the master knew, An Yi couldn't help but tremble.
Lan Xiyue's gaze was like the water in a cold pond, complex and deep. She stared at An Yi in front of her, her heart burning with anger.
The two beggars were obviously dealt with quietly by these two people. They were really making things worse. On second thought, even if they didn't do anything, he would have dealt with the two beggars sooner or later.
Forget it, after all, it was the dog system that caused the trouble, why should I take it out on them?
Lan Xiyue retracted her gaze and said calmly, "It just so happens that my destination this time is also to visit the prince at Demon Valley Mountain. You can come with me, so you don't have to sneak around in the dark."
When An Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. Miss Lan really went to Mogu Mountain to find the master. That was great. If the master saw Miss Lan, he would definitely be in a good mood. If the master was in a good mood, he might not punish them.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand and said, "Go and help deal with these corpses!"
An Yi responded quickly and ran to deal with the bodies of the men in black.
At this time, Chuxia and Chuchun staggered out of the carriage. Their faces were as pale as paper and their bodies were trembling slightly. It was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Miss...are you hurt?" Chuchun's voice was tinged with tears as she looked Lan Xiyue up and down.
Lan Xiyue's voice softened involuntarily: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm not hurt."
Chuchun bit her lip and said, "I'm glad that the young lady is not hurt. Who wants to harm the young lady and actually sent someone to assassinate her?" There was some anger in her tone.
Chu Xia was even more indignant: "Maybe it was the Second Young Lady. Didn't she also give me a box of poison rouge? I'm sure she saw that the Young Lady didn't use the poison rouge, so she hired someone to kill her! You can't judge a person by their appearance. The Second Young Lady is usually gentle and kind, but she's such a cruel person behind the scenes!"
Chuchun frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "But there's no money left in the mansion. Where would the Second Miss get the money to hire a killer to assassinate the Young Lady?"
Chu Xia was stunned, then scratched her head and hesitated: "Uh... this... maybe it's the second young lady's private money?"
Yun Lei walked over to the carriage and said, "Miss, the smell of blood is strong here. We are in the wilderness and it's already daybreak. We should go into the city first."
Lan Xiyue nodded and said "hmm". Then, she looked at An Yi and said, "An Yi, we will enter the city immediately. Please get ready."
Upon hearing this, An Yi immediately said, "I'll bring the horse here right away." After saying that, he flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
In just a moment, An Yi returned on horseback, holding another horse in his other hand.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue nodded slightly and then returned to the carriage.
The group drove into the city and found an inn to stay in. After Lan Xiyue bathed and changed her clothes, she slowly walked into the hall and had dinner with everyone.
After dinner, Yun Lei found a horse riding shop, changed the tired horses, and selected a few strong horses with shiny coats and strong muscles.
After returning, they harnessed the horses to the carriage and continued on their journey.
