"Then why did you suddenly decide to go on this trip? Aren't you afraid that he will really take this kingdom away from you?"

Third Master: "It's okay, Meng'er. He doesn't dare to be the emperor. With his old bones, he will die suddenly on the day he sits on the throne."

Seeing Ningxu's worried face, the Third Master grabbed her with his big hand and pulled her over to lean against the carriage with him. "I have figured out his plot. A few years ago, he organized all the ministers to unite and let me choose a concubine. Later, he designed to put the Phoenix Seal in the hands of Concubine Lin. During that period, Concubine Lin's face was full of desire to give birth to a prince. She came to my palace every day and stuffed tonics and other things into my mouth."

Ningxu: "How can you remain calm even when that happens? Concubine Lin is a beauty."

Third Master: "Meng'er~ How can you think of me like this? Am I such a weak-willed person?"

"Later, the Bai family has been secretly inserting people into the court, and now they are forcing Prince Lin to take sides. I think they will do something later. Anyway, I know all his little tricks. Instead of watching him make trouble in the palace, it's better to take you out to play and let him play freely in the capital."

Ningxu continued to eat the cookies. The emperor had a strong mentality. Even with a knife at his neck, he still wanted to take her out to play. He was really brave. "Aren't you afraid that he will abuse his power and kill people everywhere in the capital?"

"Don't be afraid~ Prince Lin is a big rebel. Even if he joins Prime Minister Bai's team, he will not abandon his people. Prime Minister Bai will not cause too much trouble if he is the regent. Moreover, Prime Minister Bai pays the most attention to his image in the hearts of the people. He will not do bad things in his own name."

Ning Xu: "Then he wants the whole world, but he doesn't want to be the emperor himself. What is he after?"

She just couldn't understand. Being the prime minister was already a level of wealth and glory that many ordinary people couldn't even achieve, yet he still wanted to climb higher.

Third Master: "He wanted to be the emperor, but because of the curse, my Li family could only be trapped on the throne, but everything had to be controlled by him. Maybe it was the inspiration from my mother's reign, so he could be the emperor without being eroded by the curse."

Ningxu: "That's too good of a dream. To enjoy everything, you have to pay a price."

The Third Master leaned towards Ningxu, "He doesn't think so, otherwise how could he rebel~"

Before the two could express their feelings, the carriage suddenly stopped. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the Third Master, Ningxu would have been thrown out. Everyone lifted the curtains and window curtains, wanting to find out what was going on.

As Mo Xun stuck his head out of the window, he saw a man in black holding a sword attacking the Third Master's carriage. He was intercepted in mid-air by a guard disguised as a servant. More men in black attacked the convoy in the woods.

"There's an ambush!"

Mo Xun howled outside, stood up, picked up his sword and dismounted to provide support. The guards on the open ground were already fighting with the assassins.

Seeing this, several people from the Mo family followed with swords in hand. As soon as Mo Xi landed, she heard Prince Mo shouting at her from afar, "Xiao Wu, go protect your big brother!"

Seeing that the three members of the Mo family had already taken the dominant position in the melee, Mo Xi came to the first carriage and helped the Third Master and Ning Xu get off the carriage.

Ningxu had never seen such a big scene before, and was so excited that she wanted to pick up her sword and join the battle. But as soon as she took a step, her hand was grabbed by someone. Ningxu looked back and saw that it was Mo Xi.

Ningxu: "What are you doing?"

Mo Xi: "They are fighting! Why are you joining in the fun?"

Ningxu: "No, I can fight, just let me go!"

Ningxu struggled and tried to rush forward. Mo Xi looked like a delicate girl, but she didn't expect him to have such strong strength in his hands. Ningxu couldn't break free at all.

Ningxu helplessly looked to the Third Master for help. Based on the principle of not wanting Ningxu to get hurt, and the Mo family's grandfather and grandson duo clearly had the upper hand, the Third Master turned his gaze into the distance and chose not to join the girl's fight.

Ningxu: Huh?

Mo Xi: "Why are you going there? Are you here to cause trouble?"

Ningxu: Huh?

These two are inexplicable. Doesn't Mo Xi know that his martial arts skills are improved because of her? She is the most skilled martial artist present! Why is she causing trouble? !

The two men didn't argue for a moment before the three members of the Mo family and their guards had already dealt with everything. Except for a few dead, there were five or six people who were pinned to the ground by the guards, waiting for the Third Master to come and give instructions.

Mo Xun: "Xiao Liu, you have made some progress, haven't you?"

Mo Xun walked towards Ningxu with a proud look on his face, accompanied by Prince Mo and Mo Xiao. Seeing that Ningxu was protected by so many people, the Third Master took He Lao to the assassin.

When the remaining assassin saw that his plan was exposed, he committed suicide by taking poison.

The guards had no time to react before the assassins under them were killed.

Commander Zhang stared at the Third Master blankly, "Master, this..."

Third Master: "Nothing, check if there are any clues on him."

Elder He and Commander Zhang led the team to search for clues on the assassin. Third Master stood there and looked at the tragic scene underground. Fortunately, the secret guards and the Mo family soldiers he brought with him were all highly skilled in martial arts. Otherwise, if they encountered any danger during this trip...

The Third Master looked at Ning Xu, who was arguing with Mo Xun and Mo Xi. He thought that he knew what Prime Minister Bai was thinking, and no one would stop him from going on this trip, but he forgot about the small border country.

If they hurt Meng'er, or hindered the little good time he and Meng'er had left...

The Third Master's eyes darkened. He didn't mind having a few fewer small countries in Yonghe Continent from now on.

He Lao walked up to the Third Master with a few iconic objects, "Master, it is very likely that they are from yesterday's group. They don't have a pass on them, and they sneaked into the Tianle Dynasty."

During the reign of the Queen Mother, many gadgets were invented, and this pass card was one of them. It is a combination of a pass document and a visa card. If people from small border countries want to pass through the Iron Horse Pass to enter the Tianle Dynasty, they must have a pass card, which must state the purpose of the pass and how many days they need to stay.

The pass only allows you to go as far as a certain city. Once you cross the border, you will be immediately deported.

The Third Master looked at the things in He Lao's hand and said, "They are all from Dongling Country."

Mr. He: "Yes. It is said that there has been an internal riot in Dongling Kingdom recently. The King of Dongling passed away, and his two sons are fighting for the throne."

Third Master: "You haven't even solved your internal problems yet, and you're already reaching out to the outside world?" "Go and check carefully to see who these people are working for."

Mr. He: "Okay." After Mr. He finished speaking, he turned around and found a guard to explain the matter.

The Third Master couldn't help but frown. He suspected that someone wanted to use him to get rid of another person. Since he couldn't solve the internal problems himself, he wanted to mobilize the power of a big country to eliminate the internal troubles. He didn't want to be a thug.

When Mo Xun walked towards Ningxu proudly, Mo Xi let go of Ningxu's hand. The assassin had been dealt with, and she no longer had to worry about the life and death of a little palace maid.
