The carriage suddenly stopped halfway through its journey. Bo Yun first looked at An Qingqian, and when he noticed that she was fine, he lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the curtain, dense arrows shot into the carriage.

Bo Yun's face suddenly changed, and he quickly raised the sword at hand to knock the flying arrow to the ground.

The coachman had no martial arts skills, and after blocking a few arrows, he was accidentally hit by an arrow and fell off the carriage.

An Qingqian glanced outside and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

The carriage arrived at a remote alley without anyone noticing. Dozens of tightly wrapped killers surrounded the carriage.

Each of them held a long sword in their hands, and there were five archers in front of them who were constantly shooting arrows at them.

"Miss, don't move in the carriage. I will go out and deal with them." Bo Yun had a cold face. He lowered the curtain and went to meet the five archers.

The hidden weapon in his sleeve shot out, and in an instant the three archers fell to the ground, lifeless.

The remaining two archers were frightened when they saw this and retreated one after another.

At the same time, dozens of assassins behind stepped forward and rushed towards the carriage with swords in hand.

Their target was clear: the people in the carriage.

Bo Yun was not panicked. She could see that the people in front of her were just ordinary killers whose martial arts were inferior to hers, so it would not be difficult to take them down.

She also realized that these people's target was An Qingqian, so she stood in front of the carriage and faced the killers.

Those people originally wanted to capture An Qingqian and leave, but they did not expect that the maid beside her would have such high martial arts skills.

"Go, kill her, quick and decisive." The leader realized that if they didn't kill Bo Yun, they would not be able to take the people in the carriage away, so they planned to rush forward and kill Bo Yun directly.

However, they underestimated the opponent's strength. Even though they tried their best and used all their tricks, they only lasted for a cup of tea.

Bo Yun raised his sword and swung it, but he didn't kill all the people.

Looking at the people groaning in pain on the ground, Bo Yun raised his sword and pointed it at someone at random, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

These people had already been frightened out of their wits by Bo Yun's fierce moves, and they told everything when Bo Yun asked them.

"Someone paid us to tie up the people in the carriage and take them to a house in Osmanthus Lane. We don't know the rest."

"Who paid the money?" Hearing them say this, Bo Yun clenched the sword in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Someone actually wants to kidnap a young lady. He really doesn't know how to live or die.

"We only know his last name is Zhang."

"How did you determine that the people you wanted to kidnap were us?"

"The person who paid for it gave us a pattern, saying that there is this sign on the carriage and it will appear today. We just need to wait here and this thing will be successful."

"So that's how it is." Bo Yun glanced at the person on the ground, then turned around to look at the person in the carriage.

She knew the young lady must have heard it all.

Seeing that they had not responded despite everything they had said, the people on the ground begged for mercy.

"Girl, we have already told you the truth. Please spare my life."

"Take him to Jingzhao Yin." An Qingqian's indifferent voice came from the carriage.

Who would pay to kidnap her?

The most likely ones now are Zhang and Xue Wanxian.

Considering that the person who mentioned money just now was named Zhang, An Qingqian had an idea in mind.

However, before they had time to leave, people from Jingzhao Yin arrived.

"What's going on here?" The leader looked at the people on the ground, then at the long sword in Bo Yun's hand that was still dripping with blood, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Sir, these people are lying in ambush here and want to kidnap our young lady." Bo Yun bowed and explained.

"Who are you?" The leading officer's surname was Li. He had just received a call from someone saying that something happened here and asked them to come quickly to check the situation.

They were skeptical at first, but when they got closer and smelled the blood, they knew that the man was not lying and that something really happened here.

"We are from the Lin'an Marquis Mansion."

"Lin'an Marquis' Mansion?" Lord Li was stunned.

"My young lady is An Qingqian." Bo Yun explained again.

"It turns out to be the Marquis's wife. My humble servant is so rude." When Lord Li heard that the person in the carriage was An Qingqian, he quickly jumped off his horse and spoke with a respectful tone.

Although Lin'an Marquis is a fourth-rank marquis, he is nothing in the capital city where there are so many high-ranking officials, and he has no real power.

However, his wife is the daughter of General An, so they naturally dare not underestimate her.

Bo Yun stepped forward and explained the matter in detail, and Lord Li said he understood.

"Madam, please rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

"Thank you for your help." An Qingqian responded.

The case of the prime minister’s daughter being kidnapped last time has not been investigated yet, and today General An’s daughter was almost kidnapped again. What is going on?

The last time it happened was outside the city, but this time, these people actually started fighting here. Don’t they take them seriously?

Lord Li looked distressed, "Why are you still standing there? Take these people back and interrogate them."

Everyone on the ground was quickly taken back.

"Sir, these people just said that after the kidnapping is successful, they will take us to Osmanthus Alley. Please arrange a few people to follow us to see the situation over there."

"Don't worry, young lady. This is certain." Lord Li nodded repeatedly when he saw this. "My name is Li."

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Li." Bo Yun said politely.

After saying that, he jumped onto the carriage and kicked the person in the carriage off.

The coachman originally drove the car was one of their men, but who would have thought that he suddenly felt unwell this morning. Bo Yun thought that since they were in the capital, nothing should happen.

That's why they asked someone from the Marquis' Mansion to drive the carriage. They didn't expect that he would drive the carriage here when they were not paying attention.

He must have been bribed long ago, and he deserved to die.

Lord Li originally wanted to send someone to help An Qingqian drive the car, but when he saw Boyun skillfully pulling the reins of the horse, he shut up again.

Asking someone to deal with the situation here, Lord Li personally led his men to follow.

"Miss, who do you think is the one who will pay the money?" Bo Yun frowned tightly.

"Boil the clouds, you'll know when you get there." An Qingqian already had some rough guesses in her mind, and now all she needed to do was verify them.

This place was not far from Osmanthus Lane, and they arrived there soon.

Lord Li was holding someone down, "Which family?"

"It's the one with the elm tree at the door."

"Come with me, a few of you. Keep an eye on him and don't let him escape." After Lord Li made all the arrangements, he led his men forward and knocked on the door.
