The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

When Liu Qingxiu was running at full speed, a small leader came from the back of the team and said to the leader Pan Hai, "Boss, there is a small path from here."

"Xiao Dao?" Liu Qingxiu, who was riding on a horse, stopped and turned back to stare at the little leader who was speaking.

"Yes, miss, my hometown is nearby. I know that if I take this path, I can pass through a village and then cross a small river and soon reach the Cang River."

"How do we get across the river?" Pan Hai frowned when he heard this.

"Boss, the creek is very shallow. We can cross it on horseback."

"How close is this?" Liu Qingxiu asked again.

"Miss, it's nearly seven hours' journey."

"So close? Miss, are you going this way?" Pan Hai looked at Liu Qingxiu and said.

"Then let's take this road. You lead the way." Liu Qingxiu looked at the little leader with a sharp look.

"Yes." The little leader trembled when he was looked at by her. Her eyes seemed to say that if the road is wrong, then you...

A group of people turned to the small road. Because of this action, they shook off more than a hundred masters led by Chen An, Chu Chenyu's personal guard, who were about to catch up with them.

It also avoided the second wave of assassins who came from Beiyue Kingdom to assassinate the princess.

This marriage procession was extremely lively along the way and not peaceful at all.

……

Beiyue Kingdom

Prince Yan's Mansion, the room of Prince Yan Ruihan.

His personal bodyguard Jin Shi came in hurriedly from outside, "My Lord!"

At this time, Prince Yan was playing Go with his left and right hands. Ever since no one could beat him in Go in Beiyue Kingdom, he often played Go alone.

"What are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"My Lord, Shi Yi, Shi Yi and his men failed in their assassination attempt."

Jin Shi stood beside him, watching him shoot arrows with both hands. He was used to it. He waited for a while before hearing Yan Ruihan say, "Well, failed? Then let him meet up with Shi Er and the others to continue!"

"My Lord, there are only three people left in Shi Yi's group, and they are all seriously injured. The others are dead."

Yan Ruihan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and he didn't say anything for a long time. He just moved the chess pieces one by one on the left and right of the board.

After a while, he knitted his brows tightly, his eyes were cold and sinister. Then he smiled disapprovingly, "All dead! Is it Chu Chenjing who escorted the princess of Western Chu to marry this time?"

Jin Shi looked at the look in the eyes of Prince Yan and shuddered inexplicably. He said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Prince."

"Oh, then it's not unfair that they died at the hands of Chu Chenjing!" Yan Ruihan said coldly.

Jin Shi didn't dare to answer, and then heard Yan Ruihan say, "Has anyone from Beiyue communicated with them?"

"My Lord, no."

"Um"

"My Lord, I have a question. Why should we stop them from getting married?"

Yan Ruihan said without even raising his head, "Once they succeed in the marriage, our Beiyue non-war faction will propose friendly exchanges with the Western Chu Kingdom. Once we don't fight with the Western Chu Kingdom, our Yanwang Mansion will lose its role, and the emperor will take action against our Yanwang Mansion."

"Understood, my Lord. I will send a message to Shi Er and the others to take action. They have already arrived at the ambush site."

"Have Jin Yi and the others arrived?"

"arrive"

"Send a message and ask them to wait. Since Chu Chenjing is the one escorting the marriage team this time, there will be people in Western Chu who will target him."

"My Lord, the only people in Western Chu right now are Prince Yu and him... But this time we are sending Prince Yu's sister, so he won't help."

"No! No! No! This is very strange. Prince Yu will not send his sister off in person. He is likely to attack Chu Chenjing. Let's just wait and see."

"Oh, my Lord, this is Prince Yu's plan."

"Well, that's a good plan, but I don't know what his ability is. Let Shi Er and Jin Yi work together to help King Yu at the appropriate time."

"Yes, Prince."

"Go down and deliver the message."

"Yes." Jin Shi bowed and walked out.

At this time, Yan Ruihan snapped his fingers, and a man in black flew in from the window, knelt on one leg on the ground, and said, "Greetings, my Lord."

"Hasn't that matter been found out yet?"

"My Lord, we haven't found anything. There is no trace at all."

This happened many days ago. The weapons, food, and war horses at the border were taken away by Ouyang Yunyao. Yan Ruihan has always been worried about the disappearance of these things, and he still can't figure it out to this day.

"Didn't the other people team up with the inner demon?"

"My Lord, no."

"Okay, notify General Duan and ask him to continue preparing the war horses and weapons."

"Yes." The man in black stood up and flew out of the window in the blink of an eye.

Yan Ruihan sat in front of the chessboard for a long time without taking another step. Somehow, he remembered the woman standing next to Chu Chenjing, with her fox-like eyes. Was she with Chu Chenjing this time? Why did he think of this person? He shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the study of King Yan in the mansion.

……

At the same time, something happened in Kyoto.

As the night passed, the sky gradually brightened. A ray of morning light penetrated the clouds, illuminating the earth and awakening the sleeping city.

Several guards from Jingzhao Prefecture went to the prison. Today, they were going to take the corrupt official to the Dali Temple for punishment.

Several people walked to the cell where Lai Gong was imprisoned. The chief guard took out the key and asked the guards to open the cell door. A guard stepped forward to unlock the door and opened the cell door. The other guards walked in and prepared to carry the person. Where was the person? Why? There was no one in the cell.

"Captain, it's bad, it's bad! The person is dead." A guard shouted.

"The person is gone? Dead?"

"No, no, there's no one inside."

"Ah! How come there is no one here?" The captain of the guards also quickly ran into the cell and looked around. The person who was hiding in the corner was really gone.

"Captain, you must have made a mistake. It's not in this room."

"Go find it quickly."

After a while, they searched the entire cell but couldn't find Lai Geng.

"Captain, he can't even walk, so he shouldn't be able to run away. Did the deputy captain and his men send him to the Dali Temple?"

"Let's go and ask." The captain of the guards was also anxious.

As the group of people walked out of the cell, Deputy Captain Li San came over and saw them. "Captain of the Guards, you're here so early. Did you send Lai Gong away?"

"You sent him away?" The captain of the guards was a little excited when he heard it.

"Who's sending me off? I just arrived and came to send you off. I saw that you didn't bring anyone with you, so I thought you had sent me off before. What's wrong?"

These people were upset when they heard him say, "The person is gone."

"The person is gone." Deputy Captain Li San was also shocked when he heard this.

"Let's report this to the Jingzhao prefect immediately."

The chief guard quickly came to the resting place of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Luo Hongyi and said, "It's not good, Governor Luo."

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?"

Prefect Luo had just taken a sip of tea and hadn't swallowed it yet when he was almost about to spit it out by the shout.

"Prefect Luo, Lai Gong is missing."

"What? What? Who's missing?"

"The centipede is gone."
