Before Lu Huan left, she said that no matter where she went, she had to let Zi Tan bring people to protect her.
She wrote them all down.
…
The next day.
Su Qingci brought her maid Xiaohe, female secret guard Zitan and others to Kaishan Temple.
Holding incense in her hand, she knelt on the cushion with a solemn expression, praying to the Buddha devoutly, praying for the father and son Lu Guang and Lu Juan who were about to go to the battlefield, and praying that they could return safely.
In the temple, incense curled up, and Su Qingci prayed intently. After opening his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a woman who also came to burn incense.
The woman stood straight, and even when she was kneeling on the mat next to her, her upper body was very straight.
Su Qingci took another look at her and saw that she had a pretty face but no expression. She didn't look like a Buddhist at all, because she... didn't have the piety that she had when she came to burn incense and worship Buddha.
He seems like a tough guy.
Moreover, while she was burning incense and praying to Buddha beside Su Qingci, she cast inquiring glances at Su Qingci several times, so many times that she could feel it even if she didn't turn her head.
Su Qingci suddenly felt confused, but she didn't think too much about it and continued to focus on praying.
She placed the incense in her hand into the incense burner, glanced at the Buddha statue in front of her, and then let Xiaohe help her walk out of the hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the hall, the illusion of calm was instantly shattered.
A group of masked men in black suddenly appeared like ghosts and launched a fierce attack on the secret guards and others around Su Qingci.
There are only five female secret guards around Su Qingci, who are there to protect her safety.
However, there were twenty secret guards accompanying him along the way to protect him secretly, so that they could appear in time if Lu Huan encountered any emergency.
The group of men in black came straight towards them with ruthless and swift moves.
Zitan was standing closest to Su Qingci, and she immediately drew her sword to protect him when the incident happened. However, she didn't expect that the two men in black would stab straight at her.
Zitan pushed Su Qingci out of the crowd. However, the strange thing was that the posture of these men in black did not show any intention of hurting Su Qingci.
They only held back the group of secret guards who were protecting Su Qingci, preventing them from getting to Su Qingci.
There were more than fifty men in black, and there were only twenty-five secret guards protecting Su Qingci.
The enemy was numerous and we were few. Although the secret guards protecting Su Qingci fought hard, they were tied up tightly and could not split themselves.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Qingci made a quick decision and tried to escape from this chaotic place with Xiaohe.
Since the other party didn't want to hurt him, it was probably targeting Lu Zhao again. Last time, there was also a man in black climbing on their roof, but he hadn't been caught.
The situation happened again today, so Su Qingci guessed that the other party was only coming for the secret guards trained by Lu Huan.
Lu Huan had revealed to her that the emperor had always coveted the secret guards he had trained, and he had wanted this group of people for a long time.
So when Su Qingci thought of this, he made a prompt decision and ran away with Xiaohe.
The crowd was also frightened by this sudden conflict and panicked. The two men ran for an unknown distance among them and finally came to a century-old tree in Kaishan Temple.
The two of them just sat on the stone bench and took a few breaths, thinking of waiting here for Zitan to come find them.
Unexpectedly, she met the woman who frequently looked at her while burning incense here again.
The woman walked towards Su Qingci and the other person slowly and leisurely. She did not carry any offensive weapons, but her eyes were fixed on Su Qingci as she walked towards her.
Seeing this, Xiao He opened her arms without hesitation and protected Su Qingci.
The woman slowly approached and saw Xiaohe standing in front of her. She glanced at her coldly, and the look she gave Xiaohe was chilling.
Although Xiao He was afraid, her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot and she did not retreat even a single step.
The woman suddenly attacked and slashed at Xiaohe's neck with a knife. There was a dull thud, and Xiaohe was knocked unconscious to the ground.
Su Qingci was terrified and kept backing away until his back hit the tree trunk and he had nowhere to retreat.
However, the woman did not knock her out as roughly as she did to Xiaohe. Instead, she took out a handkerchief that she had prepared long ago and quickly covered Su Qingci's mouth and nose.
In less than five seconds, Su Qingci's eyes went dark and he passed out.
The chaos in the temple continues, and Su Qingci's fate is now shrouded in an unknown fog.
…
When Su Qingci woke up, he found himself lying in a spacious and gorgeous carriage with a woman sitting next to him.
Obviously, the side effects of the medicine have not completely disappeared, but in such a small environment, Su Qingci couldn't help feeling scared.
She pinched herself and tried to look carefully, and found that it was the woman who had been staring at her in Kaishan Temple and finally smothered her until she fainted.
At this time, the carriage was moving, and the wheels rolled over the uneven potholes, and Su Qingci's heart began to shake uneasily.
She leaned against the car wall nervously and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
The woman was dressed in black, with a veil covering most of her face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
But her face still made it possible to identify her as a woman from Nanchang State.
From this point of view, at least they were not sent by Yan Xuanye. Thinking of his previous warning to her, Su Qingci was still very scared.
If it wasn't someone sent by Yan Xuanye, then it must be related to Lu Huan. Thinking of what he said before, that many people wanted to kill him secretly, it now seemed to be true.
Hearing Su Qingci's question, the woman said nothing, but her eyes were still fixed on her movements.
It seemed that she was the one responsible for her care.
The fear in Su Qingci's heart grew stronger, but she knew that she must not panic at this moment.
She forced herself to calm down and tried to observe her surroundings for a chance to escape.
The interior of the carriage was simply furnished, with nothing else except the cushions they sat on.
She faced the woman's gaze, gently lifted the car curtain, and looked out the window.
Outside the window was an unfamiliar wilderness, with a few lonely trees occasionally visible. It was obvious... we had left Shangjing City.
"Where the hell is this? Where are you taking me?"
Su Qingci's mind raced, thinking about who he might have offended, but he still had no clue.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?" Su Qingci continued to ask, his voice trembling slightly, but also with a bit of stubbornness.
The woman was silent for a moment, then finally spoke, "His Highness sent me to pick you up."
Su Qingci widened his eyes in disbelief.
Your Highness...
Could it be, "It's the Prince!?"
Su Qingci cursed fiercely, "He really is such a thief with such a heart!"
"My husband and father-in-law have devoted their lives to the Nanchang Kingdom, and he actually dared to send someone to kidnap me?"
Just as Su Qingci finished speaking, the carriage suddenly jolted violently. Su Qingci took advantage of the situation and bumped into the woman, trying to rush out.
However, the woman reacted extremely quickly, and it was obvious that she had practiced this skill before. She pulled Su Qingci back and threw him hard onto the seat.
