The whole family travels with me

Chapter 146 Official assassination
Concubine Zhou recognized Princess Qingyang at a glance, shook her body, and quickly took the two of them to the inner room to talk.

"What's going on? Why are you here?" Concubine Zhou lifted Princess Qingyang's hat and shed tears.

Zhou Hao hurriedly said: "Mother, please don't get excited. The princess doesn't want to get married. It happened that my troubled daughter got into trouble and offended a very powerful enemy. She needed to go out to avoid the limelight. The two hit it off immediately, and they came together. Li Daitao is stiff, I can't stop it, I can only let them go!

Now Princess Qingyang is on the way. There is no Princess Qingyang here, there is only a girl named Zhou Yu. You must remember it! "

Concubine Zhou was surprised and happy. She covered her mouth excitedly and nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can the people in the yard trust you?"

Concubine Zhou muttered: "They are all the old people around me. I didn't bring any of the palace servants who were unwilling to come with me. They are all trustworthy."

Zhou Hao finally had a smile on his face, "In this case, I feel relieved that Zhou Yu is here. Just in case, I prepared half a piece of jade noodles for Miss Zhou Yu. From today on, except for going to bed, I will Don't take it off.

There is also the loyal maid next to Miss Zhou Yu. In order to avoid exposing the secret, I asked her to follow the little girl to the Kingdom of Yan. The people serving Miss Zhou Yu asked the empress to find a way. "

Zhou Yu whispered: "Thank you, Master Zhou, I don't need a maid to serve you, but will Amber come back in the future?"

Zhou Hao nodded, "When the mission comes back, someone will take her away with them."

Zhou Yu was extremely grateful.

Concubine Zhou held Zhou Yu's hand tightly and said: "From today on, you are my niece. From now on, we will depend on each other and live in this courtyard well. If there is a chance,"

Concubine Zhou didn't say any more, and turned to look at Zhou Hao, "By the way, cousin, there is one more thing about the guard of the royal tomb."

Concubine Zhou told Zhou Hao everything about the situation here.

Zhou Hao heard this and laughed loudly, "I'm so sleepy that I just got some new seeds from overseas. I need to try planting them, but I can't find a good place. If they are willing, they can plant them for me. How many seeds can I plant? No matter how much you collect, I will compensate them even if it fails. My Zhou family will collect all the other output, so I will not treat them badly."

Concubine Zhou was overjoyed and sincerely thanked Zhou Hao.

When Zhou Hao returned to Yuncheng from the royal mausoleum, he received news that the envoy had entered the territory of Yangning Mansion.

Yangning Prefecture is mountainous, and the official roads are narrow and winding. Bandits often burn, kill, and rob, making it uneasy.

As soon as Tian Huai entered here, people were on guard. After all, Princess Qingyang brought so many things with her to get married, and no one in the Chen Kingdom knew about it. Who knew whether those vicious bandits would take the risk to steal the dowry of the royal princess.

Amber has been busy doing things around these days, so she naturally heard a lot of rumors and felt uneasy while sitting in the carriage.

Huang Ye closed his eyes to rest. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of worried eyes, "What happened?"

Amber opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

"Say!"

Under the intimidation of Huang Ye's eyes, Amber had to tell the news she had learned, "Princess, do you think we will encounter bandits?"

Huang Ye chuckled softly, "What do I think? What if we encounter bandits? There are two generals here. If they can't protect us, how can we go to Yan as an envoy?"

Amber was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, "The princess is absolutely right, it was my servant who got it wrong."

Before Amber could relax for long, when it was getting dark, insects and birds in the forest flew away in fright.

Tian Huai and Wei Qing immediately made a defensive posture, but in the blink of an eye, several black figures jumped out from the cliffs on both sides of the official road. They were agile and rushed directly towards the envoy with their swords raised after landing.

"Meet the enemy!" Tian Huai drew his sword and shouted loudly, causing everyone to move. "Protect the princess!" Wei Qing shouted, and his cronies surrounded Huang Ye's carriage.

At this time, the guards from Yan State also rushed over.

Wei Qing was in a daze for a moment, and the visitor explained: "The princess is so precious that there is no room for loss."

Wei Qing nodded towards them. Since the Sixth Prince of Yan Kingdom was willing to take action, he could allocate more manpower to deal with these assassins.

The fighting lasted from dusk until dark, with corpses all over the ground blocking the team's path.

The soldiers held torches and counted the corpses on the official road. Tongtian Huai reported: "General, all 50 assassins were killed. We suffered 36 casualties, eight of whom were seriously injured, and the others were lightly injured."

Tian Huai's face was gloomy and he walked towards Princess Qingyang's carriage with a cold expression, "Is the princess scared?"

Amber opened the curtain, smiled respectfully at Tian Huai, and said: "To the general, my princess is okay and not frightened. However, the princess said that the soldier's injury cannot be delayed, and she also asks the general to make arrangements quickly without any worries."

Tian Huai looked suspicious, but he still agreed.

Wenjin asked: "What did the princess tell you?"

Tian Huai ordered the men and horses to continue setting off while whispering: "The woman is heartbroken. A few days ago, the princess was making excuses to delay her trip, but now she is in a hurry and seems to be a different person!"

Wen Jin turned pale with fright, and laughed dryly: "No way! Will the princess be in a hurry? Could it be that she was frightened by the assassin and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible?"

Tian Huai nodded, "It's not impossible. Forget it, the most important thing now is to advance into the city. The dead soldiers need to be reported, and the seriously injured soldiers need to be treated. It is estimated that it will take a few days before we can continue to leave."

Tian Huai's brows furrowed even more when he thought of this. Yingte didn't know if he could reach Yan State before the heavy snowfall by walking around like this.

Pretending to be pretentious, Tian Huai couldn't bear to think about Princess Qingyang's strangeness.

Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief and thought that after entering the city, he would have to find an opportunity to remind Huang Ye properly to avoid any mistakes.

The convoy circled the mountains for another night, and finally saw the city gate of Yangning Mansion when it got dark.

Everyone, including Wei Qing, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly accelerated into the city.

After receiving the news, the prefect of Yangning Prefecture came to see Princess Qingyang as if on fire. As soon as he arrived, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Princess Mingjian! I really don't know where those mountain bandits and assassins came from. Please have mercy on the princess!"

Huang Ye sat in the carriage and his forehead was covered with black lines.

Amber opened the curtain and looked at Wenjin for help.

Wen Jin cleared his throat and said: "Master Magistrate, now is not the time to talk about this. You should quickly arrange for doctors to treat the injured soldiers. In addition, the manpower we are short of must be supplied from Yangning Mansion, as well as food."

Wenjin talked a lot and diverted all the prefect's attention.

Seeing the prefect's frown, Amber almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Wait for the two of them to enter the guest room of the inn.

Amber smiled and said: "Princess, you didn't see it just now, that prefect is so funny, he doesn't look smart at all! I really don't know how he got the position of prefect!"
