As time went by, the rain showed no signs of weakening, the dusk fell, and almost everyone entered the dream. Even the few officers who had their turn to be on night duty were holding umbrella handles and hiding in the wind and rain shelters, dozing off one after another.

Xiao Jinren, who was hiding in the most spacious tent, did not sleep peacefully. He held the express report he had just received in his hand with a solemn expression. Emperor Qihui was in his prime. Although his sister, Concubine Xiao Shu, was currently deeply favored by Emperor Qihui, she was unable to give birth to a son or a daughter.

The older princes have reached adulthood.

In addition to the theft of the imperial palace and the Ministry of Household Treasury, many powerful and aristocratic families suffered in the capital city before. As time went by, the adult princes were also involved.

It happened that Xiao Jinren had been assigned by the suspicious Emperor Qihui to escort the Zhen Guogong family for most of the past six months to the northwest three thousand miles away. It seemed that she was entrusted with an important task, but in fact she was far away from the center of power in the capital.

Many times, it is true that distant water cannot save the near fire.

Xiao Jinren could only rely on the express reports sent every two or three days to carefully pay attention to the changes in the current situation.

Unknowingly, Xiao Jinren, who was not sleepy at first, also dozed off with his head propped up.

Xu Yixuan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes, pulled the extra thin quilt on her body, and without even waiting to open her mouth to call, the man flashed back to the space. A scimitar shining with blue light was supposed to cut through Xu Yixuan's slender neck, but it missed because the person disappeared inexplicably.

The masked assassin in night clothes was stunned, but the next moment Xu Yixuan mysteriously appeared half a meter away. When the masked assassin was stunned, the thin quilt was lifted up by Xu Yixuan and covered directly. on the head of the masked assassin.

With a twist of Xu Yixuan's right wrist, she swung a tough and slender beef tendon rope from her sleeve pocket, and tied the masked assassin tightly to Wuhuada in an instant. Perhaps because she was afraid that the masked assassin would turn around and bite his fangs to kill himself, Xu Yixuan stepped behind the masked assassin and knocked him out cleanly.

Xu Yixuan's movements were so nimble. When she habitually glanced at the flatbed truck beside her and found that she didn't see her husband Tao Jinyu, she didn't show any surprise on her face. Instead, she kicked sideways and kicked Kicked away another masked assassin who was about to attack the three little guys.

This time, there was a lot of movement, which suddenly woke up Mrs. Tao Wang and Aunt Fang who were sleeping.

Only then did Xu Yixuan notice that several masked assassins had sneaked into the small bamboo shed she had built. Of course, it is not clear which side two of them belong to, but there should be no malicious intent. After all, there is someone who is trying to protect his husband. He seems to be in a panic, but there doesn't seem to be much danger.

Something isn't quite right?

Xu Yixuan frowned slightly and protected Sister Shu in her arms. Brother Cong, who was frightened and cried, was held tightly by Mrs. Tao Wang. Because Aunt Fang was protecting Sister Lan, her arm was scratched by the masked assassin.

In the dim light of the bonfire, Xu Yixuan noticed that the wound did not seem to be deep, but it was purple-black. So the murder weapon was poisonous?

Xu Yixuan hurried forward and took a closer look. Without saying a word, she took out a small cloth bag from her arms. After opening it, she took out a golden needle and sealed the acupuncture point near Aunt Fang's injured arm, and then cut it off cleanly. Poisoned carrion...

It only took a moment for Xu Yixuan to sprinkle the powder on the wound and take out a clean cloth to bandage the wound. Aunt Fang's face was pale and her consciousness was a little confused. When a pill was stuffed into her mouth, she felt that it was several times more painful than Huang Lian.

"Second Grandma, you..."

"Shut up!" Xu Yixuan pulled off the sleeve of Aunt Fang's injured left hand and put the gold needle into the small cloth bag.

Aunt Fang shrank her neck and saw that the little girl Sister Lan beside her was completely frightened. She quickly comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Sister Lan, Auntie, Auntie is fine."
