Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

The man opposite wore a jade crown on his head, had a face as calm as the breeze, and exuded a noble aura as gentle as jade from head to toe.

Song Zhi rubbed his eyes and almost thought he had seen it wrongly, "Sixth Prince?"

"How will you be here?"

The Sixth Prince Mu Yuanzhi smiled softly, "I came here specifically to see you. I was busy preparing for the crown prince ceremony and couldn't spare any time. I came here as soon as I had time. It's just a coincidence that we met halfway."

Song Zhi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mu Yuanzhi added, "You have already set off to return to the capital, which proves that Lord Song is safe and sound. Congratulations."

At that time, she made a lot of noise to find Doctor Jiang, so Song Zhi was not surprised that Mu Yuanzhi knew all this.

She nodded slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Prince."

Knowing that Song Zhi was trying to avoid suspicion, Mu Yuanzhi followed up, "Sir Song is an important official of the court, so it's only natural for me to show concern for him. In that case, let's go back to the capital together. I'm sure the emperor will be very happy to hear this news."

Song Zhi sneered. The Dog Emperor should be very happy indeed. Only when they are safe and sound can they assist Mu Yuanzhi.

Although he was very reluctant, Song Zhi had no reason to refuse.

So Mu Yuanzhi's carriage turned around, and the group set off again in a mighty procession.

Mu Yuanzhi would always stop from time to time to talk to Song Zhi, sometimes to hand her a glass of water, sometimes to hand her a snack.

There is no doubt that all of these ended up in Alua's stomach.

"He likes you."

A-Luan sucked her fingers and spoke like a little adult.

Song Zhi patted her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little kid."

"I'm not talking nonsense. His eyes sparkled when he looked at you."

Song Zhi didn't know what light A Luan was talking about, but her hair stood on end. "He is the Sixth Prince of the dynasty and will soon become the Crown Prince. You must not be so outspoken after entering the capital."

She had little contact with Mu Yuanzhi, and the emperor's previous marriage was also sudden. How could he like her inexplicably?

If there is light, it should be the light of calculation.

Song Zhi made up his mind to stay away from the Sixth Prince.

She was lost in thought when the carriage suddenly shook violently and she almost fell down. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself by holding onto the window.

At the same time, bursts of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from all directions, followed by the sound of fierce fighting.

"We've encountered bandits. Stay inside and don't come out."

Mu Yuanzhi's voice sounded outside. He protected Song Zhi's carriage and kicked a ferocious man away as he spoke.

Fortunately, I brought many guards with me when I came out, so the situation is not very critical at this time.

Song Zhi knew that there must be a lot of people secretly protecting Mu Yuanzhi, so she was not very anxious, but she was a little worried that Song Yang and Xie Yinyin in the carriage in front would be scared.

I thought it wouldn't take long to get rid of these bandits, but after a long time, the fighting outside became more and more intense with no sign of stopping.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she carefully lifted the curtain and found countless corpses of bandits lying on the ground.

Not far away, a man dressed as a guard was fighting with a group of men in black.

Yes, it was the masked man in black.

It's no longer the same bandits as before.

The number of these men in black was very large, and it looked like the guards were about to be at a disadvantage.

Mu Yuanzhi had no choice but to take a dozen guards with him to clear the way from the other side.

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't just wait here.

After a little thought, she immediately decided to pull Aluan to the carriage where Song Yang and the others were.

Song Yang obviously did not expect such a change. When they passed by, Song Yang was nervously guarding the door of the carriage and observing the situation.

Seeing Song Zhi coming over, he quickly said, "Zhi'er, this group of people might be coming for the Sixth Prince. Let's see if we can escape in a carriage."

"I thought so too, but driving is not very practical."

The bamboo forest here is dense, and there is only one road under your feet, so the carriage cannot go on at all.

"You guys wait here."

Song Zhi went around to the side of the carriage and quickly collected a few bloody clothes while no one was paying attention.

"Everyone, quickly smear some blood on your bodies, then lie down among the corpses and pretend to be dead."

With so many of them, they would be too conspicuous and escaping would be like being a sitting duck. After thinking it over carefully, she decided that this method was the safer option.

These men in black did not appear at first. If they were coming for the Sixth Prince, they should be able to get away with it by pretending to be dead.

Everyone quickly did as Song Zhi said, and soon they naturally blended into the corpses and lay down.

Song Zhi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Just as he was about to smear blood on his face and pretend to be dead, he heard Mu Yuanzhi shout from the carriage behind him, "Zhi'er, I'll send someone to take you away first. I'll cover your retreat."

Song Zhi's eyes were a little complicated. At the moment of life and death, he was still quite nice.

With a sigh, she dropped the bloody clothes in her hand and jumped off the carriage.

Before he could say anything, he saw a man in black flying with a sword in hand and stabbing Mu Yuanzhi in the back.

Perhaps because he was concerned about her in the carriage, Mu Yuanzhi did not notice the danger behind him.

Song Zhi's face changed drastically, and without thinking, he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the man in black.

With a dull thud, the stone hit the black-clad man's wrist.

However, because she was not strong enough, the man in black only shook a little and failed to stop the attack.

But precisely because of this shake, the sword that was originally stabbing towards Mu Yuanzhi's chest deviated and just pierced into Mu Yuanzhi's clothes.

Mu Yuan realized it later and immediately turned around to deal with the man in black.

He looked up in the direction of Song Zhi, his eyes filled with joy, "Zhi'er, you saved me."

Song Zhi was speechless. It was already this late, and why was he happy? If it was Mu Nanqi who threw that stone just now, the man in black's hand would have been broken.

She really needs to practice self-defense skills.

Thinking this in her heart, she walked up to Mu Yuanzhi and asked, "Are the guards you brought with you unable to hold on?"

Mu Yuanzhi looked at the guards not far away who were becoming increasingly disadvantaged with a somewhat grim expression. "They have too many people and are very skilled in martial arts. It's difficult to deal with them. Not many people know my whereabouts. This time, it must be a traitor among my men who leaked my whereabouts."

Mu Yuanzhi felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to come pick you up, but ended up getting you into trouble."

"But don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you. I will let Deadpool take you away."

Even at this time, Mu Yuanzhi's voice was still gentle, and he did not panic because he was in a desperate situation.

His voice was filled with a firm promise. Song Zhi felt uneasy when he saw such sincere eyes, and subconsciously looked away. "Who do you think sent these people to ambush here?"

Mu Yuanzhi said without thinking: "Second brother."

Song Zhi also guessed that it was someone sent by Mu Yunhe. The more critical the moment, the more he wanted to get rid of Mu Yuanzhi.

She really wanted to call out the secret guards for help, but that would definitely expose her cards, and she didn't want the royal family to know about the existence of the secret guards.
