This time, their entire team suffered heavy casualties.

Of the few people Jiang Zhongren had sent to protect them, only Xu Shan and Zuo Chengcheng were left; the rest were all killed.

Most of the people Qin Fang brought with him also went there.

The rest are still injured.

Jiang Weinan woke up in the evening of the next day.

When Xie Jiaojiao saw that he was awake, she was relieved and immediately asked him with concern: "Don't move, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Feel the rocking of the carriage.

Xie Jiaojiao explained further: "Brother Qin said that he was afraid that we might encounter some unexpected events on the road, so we had to keep on going. We even changed two horses."

Jiang Weinan nodded, looked at the fatigue on her face, reached out and touched her face: "I'm sorry for making you suffer with me."

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and bit her lip slightly. There were tears in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let them fall.

"Silly, don't worry, I'm fine. Where's Xiaoxiao?"

Xie Jiaojiao reached out and wiped her eyes: "I asked Cuizhu to take her away. She might have been frightened. She kept waking up these past day and started crying when she woke up. I was afraid that she would wake you up."

Jiang Weinan could imagine that scene, and changed the subject: "Are Lai Fu and Uncle Wang okay?"

"They were injured just like you. Uncle Wang's injury is more serious. Lai Fu is taking care of him, but it's nothing serious."

Jiang Weinan nodded: "That's good, that's good."

Xie Jiaojiao took out the kettle and poured him a glass of water.

After drinking the water, Jiang Weinan felt much more comfortable.

He staggered for a few more days.

We are finally arriving in the capital.

Qin Fang was also injured, but because of his martial arts training, his injuries healed much faster than Jiang Weinan's.

One day, a dove flew onto their carriage.

Qin Fang took a letter from its feet, unfolded it, read it, and handed it to them.

Xie Jiaojiao took a look and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Ruhua and the others are fine.

"Thank you, Brother Qin."

Qin Fang shook his head: "I also want to reassure you. I have already sent a letter to Jiangbo City and arranged for someone to protect your mother and the others, so you don't have to worry."

This undoubtedly gave Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan a reassurance.

The two nodded.

That night, perhaps because they were about to arrive in the capital, everyone let down their guard. Qin Fang knew that everyone was tired, so he found an inn for everyone to rest.

"Everyone take a good rest today and wash up. We will go to Beijing tomorrow."

After all, we are going to Beijing, and we can't be so tired and exhausted. We have to pack up at least.

For the past half month, Xie Jiaojiao had never washed herself properly, sleeping in the open air. When she arrived at the inn, she immediately called for hot water and first washed Xiaoxiao. After a few days of peace and quiet, the little baby's temper returned to what it was before. He just ate and slept all day and was very easy to take care of.

After washing Xiaoxiao, Cuizhu took her downstairs to eat, and Xie Jiaojiao then began to tidy herself up.

Jiang Weinan's hand was injured and it was not convenient for him to do it, so Xie Jiaojiao did it for him.

After washing up, Xiaoxiao drank some rice soup and was sent back.

The two of them teased the child for a while and then prepared to go to bed.

In the second half of the night, a sudden gust of wind blew open the window. Xie Jiaojiao felt a chill, but then she realized something was wrong. She had closed the window when she went to bed at night, and she remembered that she had closed it.

Jiang Weinan suddenly pinched her. Xie Jiaojiao knew that Jiang Weinan was also awake, so she pinched him back.

Suddenly, there was the sound of fighting outside again.

Xie Jiaojiao quickly hugged Xiaoxiao into her arms. Jiang Weinan kicked the bedside based on his feeling, and the man was kicked back two steps in an instant.

"Looking for death!" the man roared.

Then a knife came across.

Xie Jiaojiao jumped off the bed holding the child.

Jiang Weinan picked up a pillow and hit the man, then he covered the man with the quilt on the bed and jumped on him. However, the man's knife came out from the quilt. Fortunately, Jiang Weinan dodged in time, otherwise he would have been pierced through by the knife.

Xie Jiaojiao remembered that there was a vase on the table, so she picked it up, turned around and knocked the man on the head.

The man fell down instantly and was no longer breathing.

Jiang Weinan went up and took his knife again, giving him a fatal blow.

The couple gasped.

At this time, a man broke in from outside, and the two of them immediately tensed up. The man said, "Master, is the Madam okay?"

I was immediately relieved. It was Xu Shan.

"Near miss."

As they talked, they quickly put on their clothes and followed Xu Shan.

"Who sent this group of people?" Jiang Weinan asked.

Xu Shan shook his head: "But I just heard what Lord Qin said. I'm afraid they are from the palace. Their purpose is to prevent Lord Qin from returning to the capital. Secondly, they want to capture you and the young lady to threaten the Prime Minister."

After saying that, Xu Shan chopped down another man in black who rushed up.

"Master and Madam, please go outside. Lai Fu is waiting outside in the carriage."

Xie Jiaojiao gave the child to Jiang Weinan, picked up the knife of the man in black on the ground, and walked out with Xu Shan, protecting Jiang Weinan.

When they got outside, Lai Fu and Cui Zhu came running over. The two got on the carriage. Xu Shan said, "Master and Madam, you keep running towards the capital. I just spread the news that the Prime Minister will send someone to pick you up. Remember, as long as the horse can run, don't stop!"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, he was about to rush back with the knife in hand. Jiang Weinan called out to him, and Xu Shan turned back.

"Come back alive, we will be waiting for you in the capital!"

Xu Shan nodded seriously, then rushed back resolutely. He still wanted to save Lord Qin. He was the Prime Minister's right-hand man. The Prime Minister had been kind to him, and he would not let the Prime Minister down!

Lai Fu drove the carriage towards the capital.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, but they knew that the sky had already turned pale and a group of people blocked their way ahead.

Lai Fu quickly tightened the horse reins, and Steward Wang lifted the curtain and took a look: "Master, it's the eldest master!"

Jiang Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao in the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Weinan held the carriage with one hand while trying to get off.

Jiang Aonan rode his horse and ran over.

As soon as I saw his appearance, there was heartache in his eyes.

"Big brother, go and rescue Brother Qin and the others."

Jiang Aonan nodded: "Don't worry, our people have already gone there last night. I'm waiting for you here."

After saying that, he turned over and dismounted. Seeing the blood oozing from Jiang Weinan's right hand, he frowned and said, "You are injured!"

Jiang Weinan shook his head nonchalantly: "It's okay."

"Where are my brother-in-law and niece?"

Only then did Xie Jiaojiao get off the carriage holding Xiaoxiao.

He bowed slightly to Jiang Aonan.

Jiang Aonan hurriedly gave her a helping hand.

Then he said, "Let's go. Dad and Grandpa have been waiting for you these days. They are afraid that something might happen to you on the way, so they sent me to wait for you here early in the morning."
