In early March, the weather has begun to warm up. Everyone has taken off their cotton-padded clothes and put on green and thin silk shirts. The spring breeze is blowing, and there is a gorgeous scene everywhere.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian decided to set off.
In order to deal with the assassins, they decided to divide their forces into two groups. Yanzhi disguised himself as Shen Mingzhu and led a large group of troops to go first, along with Qu Shui who disguised himself as Xiao Xian.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian, on the other hand, disguised themselves as ordinary businessmen and couples, traveling in a light and simple manner, pretending to be sightseeing along the way, and hurried on in a leisurely manner.
The enemy didn't know that they already knew about the assassination plot, so they divided their forces into two groups and the enemy didn't know either.
Most of them thought that Shen Mingzhu had encountered an assassination attempt. Xiao Xian was so nervous that he mobilized a large team of troops from the guard station to protect her.
This is also very reasonable.
From the moment they were on their way, they communicated with Yanzhi's team every day. Yanzhi would leave a secret code and briefly tell them how the situation was, allowing them to make adjustments accordingly.
Because Rouge is in front, Shen Mingzhu and the others can accurately know the situation ahead.
For example, many disaster victims gathered in Maozhou.
Last year, due to severe drought in summer and autumn and severe cold in winter, the number of hungry people increased in many places. The local areas could not accommodate so many people, so they began to migrate together to other provinces to beg for food.
Maozhou is a middle zone running from south to north and east to west, so the victims will be divided here.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian took their followers and settled in a village more than three hundred miles northeast of Maozhou, and then studied the current situation.
After looking at the map, Shen Mingzhu's heart tightened, and then she said to Xiao Xian: "I'm afraid the enemy will set up an ambush in Maozhou and use the cover of the victims to assassinate us."
The us she was talking about were Yanzhi and the others.
Yanzhi and the others were very cautious along the way, but since they were about to arrive in the capital, they began to relax a little, thinking that the assassins might feel that their protective measures were too strict and they could not attack them, so it was not necessary to give up temporarily.
The first time that person approached the Moon Worshiping Sect, the Moon Worshiping Sect came out in full force, but they were also wary of Yanzhi's martial arts and were unwilling to attack at close range, instead adopting a long-range approach.
This time, they acted like they were on full alert. In addition to Rouge Qushui and others, they also brought hundreds of guards. Those assassins would definitely be wary.
Therefore, Rouge and the others judged that it shouldn't be too important. They would be able to enter the capital in two days, so there was no need to be nervous anymore.
Shen Mingzhu was afraid that they would slack off, so she immediately discussed with Xiao Xian that someone should remind Yan Zhi not to be careless, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap.
Xiao Xian thought about it and thought it should be the case, so he sent his followers who were suitable for inquiring information to rush over night to remind the vanguard troops to be careful.
At this time, it was the largest Yuelai Inn in Maozhou.
Yanzhi and the others booked the inn, and there were so many people patrolling it. She and Qu Shui talked for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Their rooms are next to each other, so they can take care of each other.
While she was determining where the assassins were, she was thinking about how to deal with them.
Along the way, almost nothing suspicious was found. Is it possible that they will take action when they enter the capital?
But that is almost impossible. The patrols around the capital are very strict and it is impossible to let many strangers come in and out at will. They all need to have a guarantor.
The guarantor must also have status and have evidence that can be verified when the time comes.
