Sheng Nuan frowned, paused, jumped off the carriage and walked towards Prince Huai's Mansion.
There were only four of them, and it was unrealistic to leave overnight. They might just bump into the bandit's mouth... There were dozens of armed guards in Prince Huai's Mansion, and Xie Yuchen was able to rebel later, so he must have the power secretly.
Let Prince Huai's Mansion be more alert in advance, and they will be much safer here.
Sheng Nuan jumped off the carriage and walked directly to Huai Wang Xie Yuchen... before he even got close, he was stopped by guards wearing silver soft armor.
The customer service told her that this was King Huai's confidant Yu Wei, and the one in front of her was Yu Qi.
Yu Qi blocked Sheng Nuan's path with an expressionless face: "Mrs. Xiao, please stay. It is inconvenient for the prince to see guests."
Sheng Nuan didn't want to see Xie Yuchen. She said to Yu Qi: "Please tell the prince, I met the victims in the forest today and heard the victims mention that they encountered a large group of bandits on the road... Prince Huai's Mansion
There are many carriages and horses and they are more eye-catching, so please be more careful at night."
After saying that, she nodded, turned around and left.
Yu Qi frowned.
Bandit?
Their people had made inquiries before and found that there were bandits in front of them, but they were just a group of mud-legged people with no real character. Could it be that they dared to offend Prince Huai's Mansion?
Yu Qi had long been used to seeing how shamelessly Mrs. Xiao tried to get close to her prince every day, and she almost believed in her heart that Sheng Nuan was playing tricks on her.
However, the safety of the master could not be compromised, so Yu Qi turned around and re-arranged his defenses, strengthening the patrol guards at night.
Xie Ruyue was about to go into the tent to sleep when she found two more guards outside the tent. She called Yu Qi to her side: "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"
Yu Qi cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Xiao reminded me that there are bandits nearby, just in case, so my subordinates strengthened the guard force."
"Mrs. Xiao?"
Xie Ruyue curled her lips in disdain: "She just tried another way to get close to our palace."
Shameless!
On the other side, Sheng Nuan had already asked the Zhou brothers to put away the tent... She was going to sleep on the carriage. At the same time, she told the Zhou brothers that there might be bandits and asked them to be alert.
The Zhou brothers slept directly next to her carriage, only covering the broken straw mat behind the carriage. Sheng Nuan took a quilt from the carriage and gave it to them: "This quilt will belong to you two from now on. The supplies on the road are limited, so we will make do with it."
one time."
The two brothers felt a little flattered when they touched the soft and thick quilt: "Thank you, madam."
Although it was hot during the day, it was still a bit chilly at night in autumn, especially as the day after tomorrow would definitely get colder... They didn't expect that the master would give them such a good quilt.
Even when they were in good times, they had never used such a thick and soft quilt. The quilt surface was smooth and soft, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance... The master really regarded them as his own!
Late at night, the surrounding fields were silent except for the occasional crackling sound of the camp fire burning...
Sheng Nuan had customer service on guard, so she took the time to catch up on her sleep. But just when she was confused, the customer service suddenly said: "Host, wake up quickly, the bandits are coming!"
Sheng Nuan woke up suddenly and opened the curtain... The Zhou brothers also woke up immediately: "Madam?"
Sheng Nuan took out two long swords and two sets of sleeve arrows from the carriage and threw them over: "Hold them for self-defense."
As she spoke, she put a set of sleeve arrows on her left arm... When the Zhou brothers walked past the escort, they would naturally not panic when something happened.
As a general of the Xiao family, it is normal to have weapons.
Sheng Nuan said: "Go wake up the second young master and tell him that there may be danger so that he can be on guard."
At this moment, Xiao Xuanye was already awake.
Although he was suffering from injuries, his senses honed on the battlefield were still there. Lying in the carriage, the vibration caused by the horse's hooves on the ground in the distance made him open his eyes immediately.
At this time, there was also action on the side of Prince Huai's Mansion. The torches quickly moved to form a defensive formation. Xie Ruyue, who was also unkempt, was pushed from the tent onto the carriage.
After a while, a group of bandits rushed over on horseback...
Sheng Nuan had just driven the carriage to a high place. He saw the direction in which the bandits were coming from a distance, and he immediately analyzed the direction of escape in his mind.
She said urgently, "When the opportunity comes, the Zhou brothers will join me to defend against the enemy. Ah Zhong, take the second young master and find an opportunity to escape in the direction where the bandits are coming. Hurry!"
The Zhou brothers and the mute servant nodded quickly.
Xiao Xuanye made no sound in the carriage. Sheng Nuan told him: "Second Young Master, sit still and protect yourself later."
Xiao Xuanye still ignored her, and Sheng Nuan didn't care either. Taking advantage of the fight between the bandits and the guards of Prince Huai's Mansion, he immediately signaled the Zhou brothers and the mute servant Azhong to drive away from the side.
They have few people and small goals...
However, before they were completely out of the bandits' attack range, they were discovered, and a group of bandits charged towards them aggressively, wielding knives and horses.
"Take the second young master and leave!"
Sheng Nuan gave a sharp shout, flew up and faced the bandits directly... Arrows from his sleeves were shot out in a whoosh, and the three bandits at the front screamed and fell off their horses.
Sheng Nuan kicked off a horse and flew up. He swung his long knife and chopped down another bandit to the ground.
The Zhou brothers were ready to risk their lives to delay their master, but they didn't expect that before they had time to rush, Mrs. Xiao, who looked extremely delicate, rushed out.
The two brothers changed their colors at the same time and rushed over quickly.
The master regards them as his own, so they will naturally not be afraid of death...
With the sleeve arrows given by Sheng Nuan, the two brothers shot the two bandits off their horses without having to come into close contact with them, and then charged forward with their swords in hand.
At this time, the mute servant had already beaten his horse and rushed out with Xiao Xuanye...
But the moment he left, Xiao Xuanye said something to the mute servant in a deep voice... Then, without any warning, the mute servant who had always seemed honest and loyal pulled out a narrow sword from his sleeve and stabbed Sheng Nuan to death with one blow.
The horses of that carriage.
When Sheng Nuan heard the horse neighing, she subconsciously thought something had happened to Xiao Xuanye. She turned around, only to see her carriage being dragged to the ground by the horse.
Sheng Nuan found out from the customer service that Xiao Xuanye asked his men to kill her horse, and Sheng Nuan felt helpless.
Xiao Xuanye wanted her to die!
In fact, it is understandable that Xiao Xuanye respected and loved her brother very much, but after his brother died, she, the widowed sister-in-law, did not follow the rules of women. First she seduced Prince Huai in front of him... and later she did that kind of thing to him.
.
Whether it was for the ethics in his heart, his guilt for his eldest brother, or the reputation of the Xiao family... Xiao Xuanye had so many reasons for wanting her to die!
Sheng Nuan couldn't think too much and dismounted another bandit with a backhand sword.
On the other side, Xie Yuchen was protected by Yu Qi and got into the carriage. He turned his head and glanced inadvertently, and happened to see Sheng Nuan flying up and killing a bandit with an expressionless face... He couldn't help but be slightly startled.
These days, he has seen Mrs. Sheng pretending to be pitiful, he has seen her being unruly and secretly flirting with women, and he has also seen her trying to please Xie Ruyue... but he never thought that she would have such a side again.
Sheng Nuan killed an attacking bandit with one sword, snatched the bandit's horse, turned around and ran away with the Zhou brothers.
Xiao Xuanye has escaped, so why should she stay here as a thug?
The Zhou brothers also followed Sheng Nuan's example and grabbed their horses and fled. While following Sheng Nuan, they turned around and fired arrows, killing another bandit who was trying to catch up.
Sheng Nuan chased in the direction Xiao Xuanye left, feeling mixed.
Even though she knew that the other person wanted to kill her, she still had to chase him to protect him... Life is so unpredictable.
Who made her just a worker without human rights...who made her become a human being as soon as she came into this world.
Whether it was public or private, she had to bite the bullet and catch up.
At this moment, the customer service staff hurriedly said: "Host, Xiao Xuanye was ambushed!"
Sheng Nuan was stunned for a moment, then kicked the horse in the belly: "Drive..."
