The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Later on the journey, the little lion was very happy because the Qin brothers joined him.

He especially liked his second uncle Qin Ting, and even spent less time with Qin Wan.

Now the brothers Qin Xiao and Qin Ting drive the carriage for Qin Wan. The little lion sometimes sits on the shaft with Qin Ting.

When in the valley, there were male elders around the little lion, but apart from Eunuch Gao, he didn't spend much time in contact with others.

Uncle Zhao would come to see him, give him small toys, and look at him briefly, but after saying a few words, he would leave.

After all, Uncle Zhao and the grown-up Zhao Yi are both men, and Qin Wan is a female, so they will still avoid suspicion.

Therefore, the little lion has two uncles and can always accompany his uncles. He is very satisfied.

My uncle now temporarily replaces my father's role.

After passing Youzhou, the journey became very smooth and the convoy moved faster.

There was less war south of Youzhou, and the cities along the way were also richer.

Apart from buying some food and other items in the city, everyone continued on their journey without stopping.

Mu Qing and others who were hiding in the dark were now very hesitant. They received Zhao Nanxiao's order to secretly investigate Qin Wan.

But when they were on the mountain, they had checked Qin Wan's blacksmith shop and found nothing suspicious.

Now they also know that the eldest young lady has two cousins, both of whom are blacksmiths.

The Qin family’s ancestors were blacksmiths, so it makes sense that the eldest young lady has a hobby of blacksmithing.

Guard Li Zhuo looked at Mu Qing, "Commander Mu, when do we start?"

Mu Qing has already discovered that Zhao Zhen has assigned more than 20 people to Shi Ce, and those people's kung fu is also amazing.

Mu Qing actually didn’t understand why the emperor did this?

But the order still had to be carried out, "Tell the people below to hide well and wrap it tightly so that no one can recognize it.

Do it at night. Remember, don't really hurt anyone, just test them!"

Li Zhuo nodded, "Commander Mu, rest assured, we understand."

Mu Qing waved his hand, "Notify everyone and go down to prepare!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhuo's figure disappeared quickly.

Li Zhuo moved so fast that he almost kicked away a bird hovering nearby.

Mu Qing heard a sad and angry bird cry and wanted to reach out and shoot the dart in his hand.

But when I noticed the gold on the bird's wings and the patch of green hair on its head, I remembered whose bird it belonged to.

This is not the sparrow that can be seen everywhere. This is the little bird beside the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it seems to be chirping.

Mu Qing put away the dart and did not take its life.

Zhazha stared with eyes as big as green beans and flew back in fear.

But Zhazha has gained some weight recently and his body is not very flexible.

It flapped its wings hurriedly and finally left.

Although Mu Qing was curious about why the bird was following him, he didn't take it seriously.

Zhazha returned to the little lion and landed on his head.

The little lion frowned. He didn't like Zhazha falling on his head, mainly because Zhazha was too heavy. He also hated it when Zhazha messed up his hair.

His hair is hard to take care of and easily gets frizzy.

He stretched out his chubby little hand, grabbed Zhazha's little feet and put them on his shoulder.

"Chi chi chi chi..."

Zhazha sat on the little lion's shoulder and chirped for a long time.

The little lion was very confused and didn't understand many of the words.

He glanced at Qin Ting who was holding him, "Second Uncle, I want to find my mother!"

Qin Ting thought he was sleepy, "Okay, I'll take you in to sleep."

So he knocked on the carriage, "Awan!"

Qin Wan was inside the carriage and could hear the noise outside. She opened the carriage and carried the little lion in.

The little lion was held in Qin Wan's arms, and whispered in Qin Wan's ear: "Mom, the uncle who is hiding wants to take action at night, what does it mean to take action?"

The little lion has long known that they have two groups of uncles in secret. Those people would rather sleep on the ground than sleep on the trees.

When the little lion has nothing to do, he asks his good friend Zhazha to see what those people are doing.

Qin Wan narrowed her eyes and rubbed the little lion's head, "Don't be afraid, mom will take care of everything!"

Qin Wan already knew about the existence of Mu Qing and others from the little lion's few words.

As for the people Shi Ce brought back, Shi Ce told Qin Wan about it from the first day he went up the mountain.

Qin Wan also knew that those people were sent by Zhao Zhen to protect her and her daughter. They had been hiding in the dark these days and had not shown up.

However, Qin Wan didn't know the purpose of the remaining group of people before, and she is still unsure now. They followed all the way and never took any action.

There was a fierce look in Qin Wan's eyes. If there were really people who were not afraid of death, she wouldn't mind sending them to hell.

Qin Wan's eyes gradually turned cold and hard, and she felt that she should notify Li Erniu and others.

It's time to show off your stuff.

The little lion didn't understand. Seeing that Qin Wan didn't answer, he whispered again, "Mom, that commander said he wanted to test us. What did he want to test?"

The little lion is not even two years old yet, and he knows so much now. He is smarter than other children.

But there were many things he couldn't understand, such as why the good guy before turned into a bad guy.

Qin Wan paused, "You mean test?"

The little lion nodded, "Yes, that Commander Mu said that, he said it doesn't really hurt people!"

The person in charge of this position obviously holds the title of an official.

Could it be that the other group of people are the palace guards?

If it is these people, then it is obvious who sent them!

When Qin Wan heard that no one was really hurt, she felt less angry.

However, he immediately became confused again.

The person should be sent by the emperor.

However, what does Zhao Nanxiao want to test?

Suddenly, Qin Wan thought of explosives.

Yes, this must be the reason why I came here.

Zhao Nanxiao tasted the sweetness, and knew that the recipe for gunpowder was given to Zhao Zhen by her, so now she should test whether she had more powerful weapons.

Qin Wan subconsciously touched the gun clip tied to her leg.

It seems that she needs to be more careful in the future and not reveal too much.

Otherwise, the little lion might not live to see it grow up.

The little lion is a child of the Zhao family, so they might not hurt him, but it is hard to say for a person like me who has an outsider family.

Those who become emperors are all cruel.

Qin Wan secretly warned herself that she must be careful in the future and not expose herself before she has the strength.

Since they wanted to test her, she just pretended.

With the little lion's precaution, Qin Wan really stopped getting involved.

In the middle of the night, the people brought by Mu Qing, indeed wearing night clothes, attacked the convoy.

They only wanted not to hurt anyone and their master, but those soldiers who went to fight the enemy suffered casualties.

The people led by Mu Qing were all highly skilled in martial arts, and ordinary soldiers were no match for them.

Therefore, those soldiers were soon defeated.

Xiao Jingrui, with the guards brought by Shi Ce, directly surrounded Qin Wan's carriage.

Xiao Jingrui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
