The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

The inn was quiet. Suddenly, a faint sound came from outside the window, as subtle as the breeze blowing through the leaves.

However, this sound did not escape Song Guanqing's keen ears, and he became alert instantly.

He stood up quietly and wanted to walk to the window to check, but then he thought that even if he got close to the window, he might not be able to see the situation outside clearly, so he gave up the idea.

Just as he was hesitating, a soft "puff" sound was heard, which made Song Guanqing's heart tighten. The situation seemed to be a little bad!

Helplessly, he could only lower his voice and call out, "Baizhu, Baishen, are you asleep?"

Bai Zhu and Bai Mi, who were guarding outside, were not asleep. When they heard Song Guanqing's call, they woke up almost at the same time.

In an instant, they noticed something was wrong.

At this moment, there were bursts of fierce fighting sounds outside the house. Apparently, some guards noticed something unusual and started fighting with the enemy.

"Sir, be careful of the poisonous fumes!"

Baizhu and Baimu quickly swallowed the anti-poison pill and handed one to Song Guanqing.

"I'm afraid these people came for Huahua. Fortunately, she went into the city and escaped this disaster."

Song Guanqing felt deeply fortunate at this moment and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if Hua Xin was here, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Song Guanqing's heart was filled with worry about Hua Xin's safety, and he completely forgot that even if Hua Xin was here, she would not suffer any harm.

This situation is exactly in line with the saying: Too much concern leads to confusion.

Unfortunately, the assassination came and went quickly, and it was over in the blink of an eye.

These attackers were all fearless and ruthless people. When they were arrested, they chose to commit suicide by taking poison without hesitation. There was no chance to even pry open their teeth to force a confession.

"It was actually premeditated!" Pei Run said angrily as he put on his coat.

They had just arrived in Xiliu City, but there were assassins lying in ambush here. I wonder how many hidden crises were waiting for them in the rest of their journey.

The strategy of splitting up the action proposed by Hua Xin was indeed quite feasible. Pei Runshang had some concerns at first, but now he had made up his mind.

In this case, we might as well go our separate ways directly from Xiliu City instead of waiting to the border.

Let Hua Xin and others go first!

By using their own guard of honor as bait to divert the enemy's attention, the safety of Hua Xin and his group will be greatly improved.

"Go quickly and send someone to the Bafang Laike Inn immediately to deliver the message." Pei Run gave the order without delay.

After Pei Run arranged everything, he specifically instructed his men to properly dispose of the bodies of the killers and hand them over to the government of Xiliu City.

After all, this incident happened on someone else's land, and it is almost impossible to stay out of it completely.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Fortunately, Hua Xin still had to stay for another day, and most people in the inn had fallen into a deep sleep.

When Hua Xin learned the news, it was already noon.

The person who came to report the news last night was stopped by Tianyang. After understanding the whole incident, he decided to wait until Hua Xin woke up before making any plans.

When Hua Xin woke up, she was the only one in the room. Nangong Ziqiu and Mo Chuli were not there.

"Is it late?"

Hua Xin looked at the sky outside the window. The sun had come out, so it was probably getting late.

"Xinxin, are you awake?"

Hua Xin, who was about to go out to see what was going on, saw Nangong Ziqiu coming in with food.

"Where's Chuli?"

"He's gone to prepare the things for the carriage."

"Ok?"

Hua Xin was stunned. Why did Mo Chuli take over this matter?

She couldn't help but feel very surprised. However, when she calmed down and thought carefully, she found that none of her maids were around at the moment, and there were indeed some things that they needed to handle in person.

At this moment, Tian Yang suddenly appeared, clasped his fists and saluted Hua Xin, saying, "Miss, I have something to report."

Nangong Ziqiu glanced at Tianyang and thought to himself, this man is Ye Lansheng's man, he usually doesn't show up on his own initiative, now he comes here specially to report something, it must not be an ordinary matter.

As expected, after Tianyang entered the room, he recounted the incident of the assassination attack on the post station yesterday in detail.

After listening, Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu looked at each other, both of them were extremely surprised.

I didn't expect someone to take action so soon!

Who is this directed at?

Is it herself?

Or is there someone else...

"Did the other party mention who the target of this assassination was?"

Nangong Ziqiu frowned and asked in a serious tone.

"This... they are all dead."

Tian Yang answered, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Isn't this obviously coming for the young lady? However, due to the presence of Nangong Ziqiu, he really didn't dare to say it so bluntly.

Hua Xin seemed to see through Tian Yang's thoughts, so she asked directly: "Do you think they are coming for me?"

Tianyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head slightly and said, "I dare not make random guesses."

"If they are coming for me, then their purpose should be to stop me from going to Nanxun Country. Now that they have just left Mingdu, they have already started. It seems that the journey will not be peaceful. But they didn't expect that I was not at the post station, and this action has failed. Will they continue?"

Hua Xin thought about it and decided that she should go back to the post station and talk to Pei Run about this matter.

However, Nangong Ziqiu firmly opposed Hua Xin's return to the post station.

He said worriedly, "If there are still people lurking around the post station, once they know that we did not stay here last night, wouldn't it be easy to expose our whereabouts?"

"Miss, Master Pei has another letter for you."

Hua Xin was a little surprised, "Give it to me."

Tianyang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hua Xin. Hua Xin took the letter and opened it to read.

The letter was brief and to the point, asking her to act on her own from now on, while he would be responsible for leading the guard of honor.

After reading the letter, Hua Xin couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect Pei Run's thoughts to be so similar to hers.

So she responded: "I understand. Then please take another letter back to Lord Pei for me, and pick up Song Guanqing by the way. Ziqiu, we plan to set off in the evening and no longer stay in Xiliu City."

"it is good."

Nangong Ziqiu quickly prepared the four treasures of the study for Hua Xin. After Hua Xin finished writing the reply, she handed it to Tianyang and then started to enjoy breakfast.

"This food is cold. Do you want me to get a hot one?"

"No need for that. I've always been afraid of eating things that are too hot. This temperature is just right!"

Hua Xin took a sip of the millet porridge; it tasted slightly sweet and had a very good texture.
