"We've been out for quite a while this time, and the Emperor suddenly asked me to return to the capital. I guess the overall situation will be settled by the time I get back."
"When I have time in the future, I will definitely spend more time with you, Mianmian, don't worry." The Fourth Master held Mianmian's hand tightly. If possible, he would also like to stay outside with Mianmian for a while longer.
However, the situation in the court has been changing rapidly in the past two years. When the emperor asked him to go back this time, he must have already made up his mind.
Wen Mianmian's attention at the moment was all on what the Fourth Master had just said, "The overall situation will be settled after we return."
"Master, what did you say just now? Could it be that..." Wen Mianmian didn't say the rest of the words, but the Fourth Master also understood what Mianmian meant.
He nodded, "Well, when I go back this time, the Emperor will definitely appoint a crown prince."
"Then who does the master think has the greatest chance of winning?"
Although Wen Mianmian is more inclined towards the Fourth Master, after all, the Fourth Master has been working hard to build the dam for the past two years, and it is now basically completed. The Fourth Master has put in a lot of effort in this matter.
If it weren't for the Fourth Master, the dam construction project would definitely not have been completed so quickly.
All these things proved the Fourth Master's ability and strength. She believed that as long as Emperor Kangxi was not confused, he would know clearly who was the most suitable person to be the crown prince.
"It's hard to say. We'll know the details after we go back."
He hasn't been back for two years, although his sixth brother and others often write to him to explain what's happening in the capital.
But I can only know this kind of thing after I go back. After all, it is difficult to guess what the emperor is thinking.
Just as they were talking, there was suddenly a sound of breaking air outside. The Fourth Master immediately looked towards the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong murderous aura burst out of his deep eyes. He hugged Mianmian and quickly lowered his head when the arrow shot towards him.
The extremely sharp arrow just passed over the Fourth Master's head, and then the arrow was firmly nailed to the window next to Wen Mianmian.
Before Wen Mianmian could react, the Fourth Master pressed her head down, and the next second, a thud sounded in her ears.
He caught a glimpse of the sharp arrow next to him, and his breathing suddenly stopped. He felt as if something was tightly gripping his heart.
"Mianmian, please stay in the carriage. I'm going to be out for a while and will be back soon."
The Fourth Master's expression was very ugly, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Wen Mianmian was not afraid when she saw it. Instead, she was a little worried. "Master, be careful. I'll wait for you."
"Well, stay here and don't move." Then he took out his blue ice sword, walked out with a gloomy face and murderous intent.
He has never used this blue ice sword since it followed him. Since this group of people want to die, he will oblige them.
There was already a fight outside, and Su Peisheng, Nanny Song and others rushed over.
"Master~"
The Fourth Master glanced at them and said, "You guys take good care of the concubine here." After saying this, he picked up his sword and joined the battle.
Nanny Song, Shancha and others quickly ran to the carriage where Wen Mianmian was.
"Concubine, are you okay?"
Nanny Song and Shan Cha both looked at her worriedly, especially when they saw the arrow still stuck by the window, their hearts tightened.
"I'm fine. How about you guys? Are you all okay?"
Nanny Song and Shan Cha were relieved of their worries when they saw that Concubine Jin was completely unharmed.
After hearing what her master said, Nanny Song told her what was happening outside.
"Master, don't worry. We have enough people with us. Nothing will happen."
Wen Mianmian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, and saw the Fourth Master holding a blue ice sword not far ahead, his eyes full of hostility. The people in black surrounding him wanted to hurt the Fourth Master but were all blocked by him.
And because of the Blue Ice Sword, all those men in black who came within one meter of the Fourth Master were killed by him with one sword.
The blood of the man in black splattered on the Fourth Master's face, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes made people feel terrified.
Even the men in black felt afraid of Prince Yong's violent aura, especially the sword in his hand. As long as they got close to the extremely sharp arrow, it would cut through their abdomen or other parts of their body.
Then he would quickly lose too much blood and fall to the ground and die, which made the men in black think that Prince Yong's sword was smeared with poison.
Otherwise, how could it be just a small wound, so how could it bleed so much and kill someone in such a short time.
So they were sure that the sword in Prince Yong's hand was poisoned.
There were not many of their men left, and they had to fight quickly and decisively, so their offensive became more and more rapid.
But the guards around the Fourth Master were not pushovers either. After they adjusted their fighting methods, the guards around the Fourth Master also quickly adjusted their fighting methods in order to better cooperate with the Fourth Master.
So in the end, none of these men in black were left alive.
Basically, all of them died under the sword of the Fourth Master. Originally, the leader of the personal guards wanted to let the Fourth Master leave one alive, but when he saw the Fourth Master's blood-thirsty look, he didn't say the words that were stuck in his throat in the end.
However, even if they wanted to leave some alive, these men in black would not do as they wished. They must have hidden poison in their mouths. As long as they were defeated, they would quickly bite the poison hidden in their mouths and commit suicide.
After more than an hour of fighting, almost all of these men in black died under the Fourth Master's sword.
At this moment, the Fourth Master's body was covered in blood, and he looked like a devil crawling out of hell, which was creepy.
Even the Fourth Master's personal guards were a little frightened when they saw him like this.
They had never seen the Fourth Master so angry before. He treated those men in black as targets.
Su Peisheng saw that all the men in black had been dealt with completely. He quickly ran to the Fourth Master and looked at him, who was covered in blood, and said worriedly:
"Master, are you okay?"
His body was covered in blood, and Su Peisheng couldn't see clearly whether the Fourth Master was injured or not. There was not even a post station in this desolate mountain area, and there was no doctor or anything around them.
What should we do if something happens to the Fourth Master?
"I'm fine, find me a change of clothes."
He was covered in blood now. If Mianmian saw him like this, she would definitely be scared. He had to change his clothes before going to see her.
Hearing his master say that everything was fine, he finally let go of his worries and nodded quickly.
Hurry to the carriage behind to find a doctor and some clean clothes for the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master saw a river not far ahead, so he walked towards it with his sword.
