With a long gasp, the disheveled Lan Xiang collapsed on the jade couch with blurred eyes, and a trace of milky white liquid remained at the corner of her mouth.
Li Pingce put on a coat and came to a quiet room.
He lit a stick of sandalwood, the fragrance filled the air, and the raging desires in his heart calmed down.
Call...
A breath of turbid breath came out.
"Come on, come on, soon my king's plan will be successful. When the time comes, the fate of Daqian will be in my hands, and I will be the son of destiny!"
A black energy surged out of Li Pingce's eyes. If you look closely, you will find that the surging black energy is actually a ferocious black dragon with teeth and claws.
"Xichang? The bait I threw to Cao Ronghui must have worked. The surveillance outside the house has been reduced a lot these days. Sun Tian, you have deserved your death! Hahaha..."
The creepy laughter echoed in the quiet room for a long time.
At the capital city tower, a motorcade was slowly driving out of the gate.
The exterior of the carriage is surrounded by landscapes, insects, fish and elegant flowers, mahogany garments, gold thread, and bodhi flowers, making the entire carriage and shaft elegantly and luxuriously decorated.
At the front, a strong man in black armor with dark skin and nearly nine feet tall was holding a serrated knife astride a tall horse, his gaze like a torch.
A group of guards around him also looked around with stern expressions.
"Please keep your spirits up," Hong Kui shouted.
"As you command!"
Now that we have left the capital, the security situation along the way will no longer be guaranteed. As the commander of the guards of the Wu Mansion, Hong Kui must be very alert.
The breeze blew and the car curtain opened.
Ms. Chen was lying lazily on a dark yellow couch, seeming to be taking a nap.
Da da da……
Lu Yun was riding a horse with a calm expression, seemingly bored, but in fact he had been paying attention to what was going on around him.
The convoy kept going all the way.
"They are out, when will we take action?"
On the right side of the official road, in a dense forest on a hillside, several people were hiding in the tree canopy, looking at the moving Chen's motorcade.
Their whole bodies were wrapped in green tights, and except for their eyes, all other parts were protected and not exposed.
Judging from their attire, it's hard to tell where they come from.
"Don't worry, wait a moment, this place is too close to the capital, and experts may be dispatched to support at any time."
"In five days, they will definitely pass through Yongfang Town. Over there, we will send people to lure Lu Yun away, and then the remaining people will take action."
"clear!"
The person leading the team smiled and said: "This will trigger a conflict between the nine admirals and the West Factory. When that day comes, any changes or hesitation will increase the success rate of the prince."
"My lord is wise!" the people under his command complimented.
"Let's go, go to the front and wait." The person leading the team ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The others responded one after another.
After a while, the breeze blew by, and there were no more people here.
Thick interior.
Mrs. Chen gently shook a cylindrical tube, and from time to time there was the sound of balls hitting inside.
"I hope everything goes smoothly during this trip..."
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the scenery passing by on the roadside. Lu Yun's figure came into view. Although it looked a little thin, it gave people a sense of security inexplicably.
"Xiao Yunzi." Mrs. Chen approached the window and called softly.
"Madam." Lu Yun reined in his horse slightly and slowed down.
"Here, take a bite of the fruit."
With that said, Mrs. Chen picked up a piece of iced fruit and handed it to Lu Yun.
"Thank you ma'am."
The beauty was so kind that Lu Yun could not refuse, so he had to accept it.
He took a bite, and the taste was unexpectedly sweet.
"How is it?" Chen asked with a smile.
"tasty."
Upon hearing Lu Yun's affirmative reply, Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent shape.
The speed of the convoy is not slow, and the horses pulling the carts are extremely strong. They travel quickly and steadily, and have long endurance.
Starting in the morning, by the time it got dark at night, the team had completely left the Sili area where the capital was located and entered Yanzhou.
Lu Yun took out the prepared map and looked at it carefully.
From here to Tianchen Villa, according to the route map, you need to pass through more than a dozen different towns along the way.
"The next towns to pass are Zhangbei, Chongxi, Yongfang, and Kaixun. In the middle, you need to take a boat to cross the river in Yongfang Town. Kaixun is often infested with ferocious beasts and bandits, so you need to be careful."
This information was all learned by him when he was looking through the files in the West Factory.
It was getting late at this time, and there were no inn houses around.
The convoy then stopped, found an open space on the left side of the official road that had been leveled by previous people, and began to set up camp and light a fire.
Lu Yun went to pick Chen up from the car.
"Ma'am, slow down!"
"Um."
Chen stepped on the solid ground and took a look at the natural beauty around her. She suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"Mother, how long does it take for us to arrive?" After only half a day, the two brothers Wu Xian and Wu Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
Mrs. Chen gave them a look and was too lazy to explain to them. With Lu Yun's help, she walked aside to rest, followed by the accompanying maid.
Wu Xian and Wu Yu felt bored and left angrily.
"Everyone, please move quickly!" Hong Kui shouted loudly, instructing the guards to set up camp.
The guards moved very quickly, even chopping down some trees, and quickly built a small wooden star. Then they pulled up the cloth and it became a simple and natural rest room.
After having a little dinner together, Lu Yun left the fire, found a clean big stone by himself, moved it aside, made a small bonfire himself, and sat cross-legged on the big stone.
Mrs. Chen returned to the lounge that the guards had carefully prepared for her, while Hong Kui directed the guards to stand in different places, arranged shifts for them, and took turns on duty at night.
After the two brothers Wu Xian and Wu Yu had eaten and drank enough, they fell asleep early.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the team packed their luggage and continued on their way.
Thin clouds and mist shrouded the mountains and forests.
In the early morning, the official road is like a gray-yellow python, winding and crawling among the sea of dark green trees.
The sky is as blue as a wash, tigers and leopards are roaring in the distance, and wild deer are chirping.
The motorcade was neither fast nor slow, moving forward slowly on the smooth official road.
Just as the motorcade reached a bend in the forest, a crisp and melodious flute sound floated from the forest on the right.
"The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. There are no villages in front of us or shops in the back. Who would play the flute here?"
Lu Yun raised his eyes, controlled the horse's reins to gradually slow down, and looked toward the source of the sound.
But there was white mist over there, and nothing could be seen.
"Eunuch Lu!"
Hong Kui drove his horse from the front of the team and asked, "Could it be a passing martial arts expert who acted casually?"
"possible."
Lu Yun nodded slightly, expecting that anyone who dared to travel alone in such desolate mountains and ridges, and who dared to play the flute openly must be a master.
