Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 224: The Troublemaker Group 2

Three days later, Qiao Shinian could no longer bear the biting cold wind and went back to sit in the car.

It has been a long time since he last took such a long and bumpy ride. Qiao Shinian couldn't help but recall the high-speed rail experience that had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

During the journey, the carriage broke down once, so the large army stopped in the snow and ice waiting for the carriage to be repaired.

Just when Qiao Shinian was about to see the dawn, the tranquility on the road disappeared, and his heart was relieved a little, but he was more nervous.

The assassination was late but it arrived.

After everything was over, Qiao Shinian looked at the bloodstains on the ground. These assassins looked very powerful, just like in the TV series, wearing black clothes and masks.

Looking at the buried bloodstains, Qiao Shinian raised his head to look at Wen Jiu who was chatting with Ji Lanzhou in a relaxed manner.

None of this seemed to have any effect on him.

Qiao Shinian took the candy handed to him by Yingzhu. It tasted sour and was very effective in alleviating the nausea caused by the smell of blood.

The closer we got to Xingzhou, the more assassins there were, and the assassinations went from once every few days to several times a day.

Every time he saw an assassin, Wen Jiu waved his hand numbly and helped Qiao Shinian sit in the carriage and wait.

That day, before dawn, Wen Jiu woke up Qiao Shinian.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Shinian naturally didn't sleep well. After more than twenty days of travel, her face was visibly haggard.

Wen Jiu did not let Qiao Shinian stand up, but leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Sister, I have to go ahead. You don't have to worry and just take your time. The rest of these people will be led by you. I will take the royal seal first and give it to you for safekeeping when you arrive."

In the darkness, Qiao Shinian couldn't see Wen Jiu's expression. She grabbed Wen Jiu, who was about to lift the curtain to leave, and asked him to sit up: "What are you going to do? What have you and Feng Tianmo been planning these days?"

Wen Jiu said softly, "You'll know when the time comes. When I go out this time, we won't have to worry about having no money to spend for the next six months."

After saying that, he took the clothes from Qiao Shinian's hands.

Qiao Shinian felt a little dizzy, and she didn't know what Wen Jiu was going to do.

"Yingzhu!"

"Girl." Hehuan's voice came from outside the car window.

Qiao Shinian suddenly remembered that Yingzhu said that Hehuan would probably be able to return to the team halfway, but she only returned at this time.

"It's okay, you guys take a rest. We'll set off early tomorrow." Qiao Shinian originally wanted to ask Yingzhu if she knew something, but the moment she asked, she gave up trying to understand what Wen Jiu was going to do.

When it was daybreak, Qiao Shinian counted the number of people and found that only four people were missing.

Wen Jiu, Feng Tianmo, Yue Yu, Ji Lanzhou.

"Did Wen Jiu tell you anything?" Qiao Shinian looked at Chunxue.

Chunxue bowed her head and replied, "The prince told me to protect you. If anyone questions your decision, I will deal with them on the spot."

After hearing this, Qiao Shinian turned to look at the technicians from the palace.

Two imperial doctors, three embroiderers, and a cook.

Qiao Shinian nodded, and after breakfast, she and her men continued towards Xingzhou.

The journey was relatively safe, with only two groups of assassins coming. The assassins were dealt with by Yingzhu and Hehuan before they could even question Wen Jiu.

"Girl, we will enter Xingzhou in three days at most." After looking at the map, Yingzhu turned around and found Qiao Shinian leaning against the car door in a daze.

"What's wrong?" He Huan also noticed that Qiao Shinian seemed a little absent-minded, so she asked in a low voice.

Qiao Shinian looked up at the desolate plain, his tone full of worry: "Wen Jiu, he always told me everything. This time, he left in a hurry."

"Miss, Prince Yongle has grown up and has his own thoughts. Perhaps it is inconvenient to tell you more." Yingzhu said.

Qiao Shinian pinched his brows and glanced at the people who were resting: "Let's set off, and move forward quickly. Feng Tianmo is not someone who can come up with any good ideas. I am a little worried about Wen Jiu."

·

Qiao Shinian’s premonition was correct. When they were only one day away from Xingzhou, Yue Yu came hurriedly on horseback.

"Imperial Physician! Come with me to treat the prince!" Yue Yu's voice was not very loud, but in the quiet night, the noise it made was quite loud.

"What's going on?" Qiao Shinian hurriedly jumped off the carriage wearing a cloak, and saw a person lying on Yue Yu's horse.

This person was none other than the grandson of an old physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and was one of the people selected by Wen Jiu to accompany him on this trip.

"Girl, the prince has been shot by an arrow! You will know the details when you arrive in the city." After Yue Yu said this, she kicked the horse's belly and rode away with the young man on her back.

It was not until her back disappeared into the night that Qiao Shinian came back to his senses and said to the people beside him, "Tell them to get up and travel overnight. We must reach the palace as quickly as possible."

After saying that, she first jumped on her horse, waved the whip, and chased in the direction where Yue Yu disappeared.

Hehuan and Dianxiang exchanged glances and then followed Yingzhu.

Galloping all the way, Qiao Shinian's hands were tightly gripping the reins. She could not feel the existence of her fingers, nor could she feel whether she was still holding the reins tightly. She could only keep pushing harder and harder.

She has already lost Mu Qingchen, and she dare not think about how she will live here if something happens to Wen Jiu again!

She can't accept it!

Hit by an arrow?

Where were we ambushed?

Is the injury serious?

"girl!"

Along the way, Yingzhu tried to talk to Qiao Shinian, but Qiao Shinian frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing.

It only took half a day to reach the destination by galloping on horseback. After entering the city, I asked passers-by and only then did I know the location of the palace.

As soon as she reached the door, she was blocked by soldiers. Qiao Shinian could only anxiously say, "I am... I am Wen Jiu's sister. My name is Qiao Shinian. You should have heard of me, right?"

"I haven't heard of it! The prince is seriously injured now, so it's impossible for him to let you in! Either show me your ID and visiting card, or wait here!"

The soldier shook his head and stopped her from entering.

"Subdue them! Then ask Yue Yu to come over!" Qiao Shinian didn't say anything else.

Identity proof? She had forgotten about it, and Wen Jiu probably didn't prepare any for her. After all, the two of them were inseparable, and with Wen Jiu around, why would she need any external proof?

Or maybe Wen Jiu had prepared it for her this time, but he came in a hurry and there was no way he could go back to get it.

Hehuan took action to stop the people at the door, and Yingzhu followed Qiao Shinian and walked inside.

Before entering the gate, more people came out of the palace.

Qiao Shinian frowned, knowing that he had oversimplified it. A royal palace could not possibly have only a few gatekeepers.

For a moment she didn't know what to do. It seemed impossible to defeat them all in a short time. She had no identification, and the royal seal that Wen Jiu had left with her was taken away when he left.

"Stop! Everyone step back. This is Miss Qiao, the other master of the Yongle Palace from now on!" Fortunately, Yue Yu came out at this time.

She looked at Qiao Shinian, a trace of guilt on her face: "I'm sorry, young lady, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of the prince."

"What's going on? Lead the way!" Qiao Shinian had already walked in.

Yue Yu led the way and told Qiao Shinian what had happened.

It turned out that when Wen Jiu hurriedly arrived in Yun County to attend the full moon banquet of Jiang Shang's grandson, an accident happened. A group of assassins suddenly appeared in the Jiang family. After seeing that the assassination of Wen Jiu was unprovoked, they blew the bamboo whistle. Another group of assassins who had been lying in ambush appeared and took out crossbows to shoot at Wen Jiu.

At that time, Ji Lanzhou was entangled by several people and couldn't get away. Wen Jiu was only accompanied by Yue Yu, but Yue Yu could not protect both Wen Jiu and Feng Tianmo.

So after Feng Tianmo blocked a fatal arrow for Wen Jiu, Wen Jiu fought back, but the assassin was well prepared and shot arrows again.

They did not flee until the defenders in the city arrived.

As they were talking, Qiao Shinian had already arrived at Wen Jiu's yard.

Feng Tianmo was lying on a low couch in the outer room, barely breathing, and he kept crying out in pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much, am I going to die?"

Ji Lanzhou was standing by Wen Jiu's bed, sword in hand. His disheveled hair and the red bloodshot eyes showed that he had not rested for a long time.

The young imperial physician beside Wen Jiu's bed was wrapping gauze around him. There were also a few other people in the room that Qiao Shinian didn't recognize. One could tell from their clothes that they were not ordinary people.
