Time passed quickly, and about half an hour later, they finally arrived at the vast horse farm. Before that, Mu Jiuchen had already ordered his servants to clear the entire field so that he and Jiang Li could gallop freely. So, Mu Jiuchen held Jiang Li's hand, and the two of them stepped onto the empty land without restraint, and the horses under their crotches galloped like the wind.

The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, raising clouds of dust. The sun shone on them, outlining their beautiful silhouettes. Mu Jiuchen was agile and rode the horse as if it were flat ground; while Jiang Li was a little bit awkward, but under Mu Jiuchen's patient guidance, he gradually mastered the essentials. In this way, they ran freely in the horse farm, and their laughter echoed in the air.

Unconsciously, a beautiful morning passed in a flash. At first, Jiang Li was depressed and unhappy because of something, but with Mu Jiuchen's gentle comfort and company, those sad emotions gradually dissipated, replaced by inner tranquility and peace. At this time, Mu Jiuchen told Jiang Li an exciting news: the Jin Kingdom delegation is about to leave the capital! This news made Jiang Li's heart blossom, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

However, Jiang Li, immersed in joy, did not realize that when she left the city in the morning to see off Murong Xue and her third brother, a pair of eyes were staring at her closely - that was Wan Yanyi. This person had always had ulterior motives towards Jiang Li, secretly making his own calculations, and did not want to let her go easily no matter what. At this moment, he was hiding in the dark, spying on Jiang Li's every move, and planning a more sinister and cunning plan in his heart...

In the following days, Jiang Li returned to her peaceful life. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden absence of two familiar people. After all, she could still remember every little detail of her daily interactions with them.

Speaking of friends, Jiang Li has very few close friends, and Liu Jingyun is one of them. On this day, the maid next to Liu Jingyun sent a note, inviting Jiang Li to go to Huangjue Temple in the north of the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. To be honest, Jiang Li didn't have a very good feeling about this Huangjue Temple. Because there were several accidents that happened in this Huangjue Temple. But even so, because the incense here is extremely strong, there is an endless stream of people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha, especially those young ladies from official families who often visit this place.

After receiving the invitation, Jiang Li made some preparations and took her personal maid Chuntao and Shi Liu to Huangjue Temple. Along the way, Jiang Li thought: "I hope nothing will go wrong this time when I go to Huangjue Temple." When they finally arrived at Huangjue Temple, Jiang Li waited for Liu Jingyun at the foot of the mountain as agreed. But time passed by, and Liu Jingyun was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Li couldn't help but get anxious. So, she turned around and told Shi Liu to go and check what was going on. But when Shi Liu heard this, she shook her head like a rattle and refused to leave Jiang Li. It turned out that the last time it was also in Huangjue Temple, after the incident that still frightened Shi Liu, she was full of fear and uneasiness about this place, and she was unwilling to go there alone again.

Finally, Jiang Li had no choice but to give orders to the secret guards beside her, asking them to go to Liu's house to find out what was going on. Following her order, two well-trained secret guards came out, one of whom was Secret Guard No. 2, and the other followed closely behind.

An Er scanned the surroundings sharply, and after a little thought, he turned to another secret guard and whispered, "Go to Minister Liu's mansion and find out the situation." Before he finished speaking, the secret guard disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost.

After the secret guard left, An Er and Shi Liu suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. It turned out that the place where Liu Jingyun agreed to meet Jiang Li was on the road next to a remote forest at the foot of Huangjue Temple. At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that it was frightening, and even the sound of the wind was difficult to hear.

"Shi Liu, you must protect your young lady!" An Er did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He flashed and instantly appeared from his hiding place. He stood steadily in front of the carriage, alerting his surroundings with full concentration.

At the same time, Jiang Li, who was in the carriage, also keenly noticed the abnormal atmosphere. She frowned, her face was solemn, and she was secretly thinking about the possible situation. At this moment, Shi Liu had already walked out of the carriage quickly. She waved her right hand violently, and the soft sword at her waist was instantly unsheathed and tightly held in her hand.

"Second brother, the situation is critical now. Should we immediately send a signal to the prince to request support?" Shi Liu was extremely anxious and didn't care about anything else.

An Er nodded slightly to show his agreement. He took a deep breath, took out a purple flare from his arms without hesitation, and shot it into the sky. In an instant, a brilliant purple light shot straight into the sky, shining brightly in the air. You know, the flares used by the Regent come in many different colors, and the darker the color, the higher the degree of danger. The launch of this purple flare undoubtedly indicates that a huge crisis is quietly approaching...

At the moment when the signal flare burst into bright light in the sky, the originally quiet forest seemed to be awakened, and suddenly a group of mysterious figures in black jumped out. These men in black moved quickly, approaching silently like ghosts, and before everyone could react, they had already brandished the cold and gleaming blades in their hands and rushed towards the carriage where Jiang Li was without hesitation.

This group of black-clad men were obviously well-trained and coordinated, and their goal was very clear - to go straight to Jiang Li's carriage. At this time, Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage holding hands with his personal maid Chun Tao. Hearing the fierce fighting sounds coming from outside the carriage and the horrifying sound of swords piercing into the body, the two people's faces turned pale in an instant.

Although she was filled with fear, Chuntao still pretended to be calm and tried to comfort Jiang Li beside her: "Miss, don't be afraid. The people sent by the prince to protect us should be here soon." However, her slightly trembling hands ruthlessly betrayed her true mood at the moment.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, turned to look at Chun Tao, and said softly: "Well, if we see the opportunity later, let's run away immediately!" In fact, Jiang Li, who was extremely smart, knew very well that the real purpose of this group of black-clothed men coming this time was to take her life. Therefore, no matter what, she could not sit and wait for death, and had to find a way to escape.

At this moment, the Regent was discussing the Jiangnan issue with Mu Jiurui in the palace!
