In the end, the guard took on the task because Xie Ming's expression turned cold, which was a sign that he was about to get angry.

In order not to anger Xie Ming, he had no choice but to take on this task.

As for the rest?

More to come later.

The present is the most important thing.

After sending everyone away, Xie Ming sat in the yard to enjoy the breeze for a while, then walked into the study and simply packed his luggage.

He didn't need to bring much, just the few things he was most reluctant to leave behind.

He could buy other things later. This villa would not be occupied for a short time. If he remembered that he had forgotten to bring something, he could send someone to get it. No matter how bold the county lieutenant of Yancheng was, he would not withhold his things.

This is something Xie Ming can be very sure of.

How bold must one be to embezzle the prince's belongings?

I really think there are too many heads.

So when Xie Ming left, his subordinates had just left.

The reason he did this was just to leave these people behind and go to Seoul as soon as possible.

Yes, he didn't want to arrive later than them, but to arrive before them.

With more people on the road, it's inevitable that the journey will be slower, but if he's alone, he doesn't have to worry about so much.

And before he left the main force, he sent a few more people to manage this small team of up to a hundred people.

He couldn't be completely relieved just by arranging the guard just now.

But after these other operations, he can completely relax.

Because to him, the few people added later were all trustworthy people.

Although his familiarity with those people was far from that of Yun Shu, he was still certain of their loyalty. That was why Xie Ming dared to go alone and leave so many people to be managed by his subordinates.

Xie Ming rode away alone on horseback, with no expression on his face.

When Shen Chu arrived at the general's mansion, she suddenly met a pigeon with a piece of paper tied to its feet, flying towards her recklessly.

Instead of dodging because of this, he grabbed the pigeon's wings, took off the note with quick hands and eyes, and opened the note immediately.

Whether it is for her or not, it is better to take a look first.

However, after reading the contents of the note, her expression was dull for a moment, but soon recovered.

Seeing the change in Shen Chu's expression, Xu San felt something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's written on the note?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chu did not hide anything, but directly told Xu San the contents of the note.

"The note said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already gone to Seoul, and that he had gone alone. He asked if we should set up an ambush on the route that the Crown Prince would take to get to Seoul."

She spoke the contents of the note with a cold face, and her tone became even colder.

Perhaps she herself did not realize how ugly her expression was when she said this.

Why set an ambush? What is the purpose of setting an ambush?

The answer is ready to come out.

Apart from taking the other party's life, Shen Chu could not think of any other thing he would do after setting up the ambush.

Xie Ming's life has caused harm to many people. Since he has already taken action, why not do it thoroughly?

Killing him on the spot would be the most reassuring thing. Although she had already left Xie Ming, Shen Chu's mood was inevitably affected the moment she saw the note.

Her expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and even the two candied haws left in her hand were no longer as sweet.

This was not good news for her.

Although she had some complaints about Xie Ming when she left Yancheng, she was far from wishing him dead.

So after learning the news, a new question arose in Shen Chu's heart: should she tell others about this?

For example, His Majesty, or someone who was good friends with Xie Ming, but before she could think of the result, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind her and snatched the note from her hand.

The figure appeared so suddenly that even Shen Chu didn't react for a while. When she reacted, she hurried forward and tried to snatch the note back.

If you want to know who wrote the note, the note currently has other uses.

But before she could snatch the note back, she took a quick look at the other person's appearance. It was not someone she didn't know, but a face she was very familiar with.

In the more than three years since she came here, the chances of meeting him were almost exactly the same as the number of times she met Xie Ming. The other person was Yun Shu, who was always by Xie Ming's side.

Yun Shu's face originally had no expression, but when he got the note, his expression suddenly turned cold, and there was an ugliness in his eyes that Shen Chu had never seen before.

Although she had known Yun Shu for such a long time, this was the first time she had seen such an expression on Yun Shu's face. It was a little unfamiliar to Shen Chu.

However, she could understand it, because this was a matter of life and death after all, and Yun Shu had been with Xie Ming for so long that she must have some feelings for him. As for the depth of their feelings, she would not comment.

Judging from Yun Shu's reaction at this moment, perhaps the bond between Yun Shu and Xie Ming is much deeper than she imagined.

Looking at Yun Shu's ugly expression, she wanted to ask something, but suddenly thought of another thing.

Why is Yunshu here?

Shouldn't he be with Xie Ming?

The moment this question came out, Shen Chu almost guessed the answer immediately. There was only one person who could order Yun Shu to do something, and the reason why Yun Shu appeared here could only be because he listened to that person's words. In other words, it was Xie Ming who asked Yun Shu to come here. What was his purpose in coming here?

It couldn't be more obvious.

Protect her.

Although such an idea may seem narcissistic, it was the first thought that came to Shen Chu's mind.

This idea seemed the most likely to her.

She wasn't the type to just guess without asking questions. After realizing this, she almost immediately asked Yun Shu for confirmation, "Yun Shu, why are you here?"

Yun Shu stared at her, and after a while, he answered her, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to follow Miss Shen and protect her safety."

He didn't say anything else that he shouldn't have said, but this one sentence was enough.

It was indeed Xie Ming who asked Yun Shu to follow him, wanting Yun Shu to protect her safety.

What about himself?

Doesn't he need protection himself?

As the crown prince of the current dynasty, how could he go to Seoul alone?

Isn’t he afraid that someone will block him on his way to Seoul?

Just as the note said, thinking about the contents of the note, Shen Chu became even more irritated. She frowned and asked, "Can you go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?"

She actually hadn't finished what she was saying yet, and she also wanted to go.
