The returning team continued their journey. The old Marquis's car was driving slowly at the end. When passing a fork in the road, the driver changed direction and failed to follow the team in front.

The carriage drove quickly and steadily. When it got dark, the carriage slowed down in a forest. The vegetation in the forest was lush, and the moonlight shone on it with a silvery light, covering the forest with a hazy gauze, making everything look extra special.

of mystery.

Butler Li's voice came from outside the carriage: "Old Marquis, take good care of the young lady, there is an ambush ahead."

The driver held the reins tightly and stared straight ahead. The wheels made a "clack" sound as they rolled against the ground, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent night.

A dozen black figures suddenly appeared from the bushes in front of them. Each of them had fierce eyes and held a long knife and rushed towards the carriage. Their steps were vigorous and they exuded a strong murderous aura.

The horses were frightened and reared their heads and neighed. Butler Li and the coachman were well prepared and quickly drew out their weapons to resist.

At this time, the old Marquis' secret guards also quickly appeared. He had already guessed that the journey back home would not be smooth, and even the coachman was replaced by a master of the secret guards. However, he did not expect that this group of people would be so quick.

Then I discovered that he was not in the convoy ahead.

Mr. Sheng was still sitting in the car calmly, but he hugged Sheng Zhiyao tightly in his arms and felt relieved when he found that she was not crying in fear.

There were constant sounds of fighting outside the carriage. The man in black probably did not expect that there would be so many masters around the old marquis, but it was a pity that it was too late.

The leader of the men in black saw so many hidden guards and knew that the situation was not good and prepared to flee. As soon as he turned around, he was injured by a hidden weapon. Although it was not fatal, it was not too unpleasant.

The man in black quickly pulled out the concealed weapon and threw it on the ground. He had to run back and report the news to his master. After all, Mr. Sheng's sudden change of whereabouts must have something to do with His Majesty.

He rushed out of the woods regardless of his injuries. The moonlight shone clearly on his face and he felt a sharp pain in his back. A sword penetrated his body directly, and he fell to the ground in the next second.

The secret guard stepped forward and pulled out his sword from the corpse, tore off the mask of the man in black and took a look, then quickly returned to the carriage, and a deep voice sounded: "Master Marquis, it has been taken care of."

Sheng Zhiyao, who heard the voice, twisted her body in her grandfather's arms: "I know, let's continue on our way."

"Yes." The man nodded to the coachman and disappeared into the night with all the secret guards. The corpses had long been cleaned up, and not a drop of blood could be seen on the road as always, as if nothing had happened here.

The driver raised his whip and the carriage continued to drive, much faster than when it came. The swaying in the carriage made Sheng Zhiyao feel dizzy, and she slowly fell asleep.

It was already afternoon when she woke up. Sheng Zhiyao found herself lying in a cozy cradle. The big bed next to her was empty, but a familiar man's voice came from outside. It was the dark voice from last night.

guard.

"Master Marquis, the killer last night should be the eldest prince's man. I have seen the leader in the eldest prince's study."

The old Marquis was not surprised at all. He seemed to have known the origin of the group of people last night: "Yes."

"What are you going to do next, Lord Marquis?" the man asked respectfully.

"Don't take any action for the time being, as usual. Send another person to notify Yuan Chen and ask him to come over in the dark."

"yes."

"Go down! You guys worked hard last night. There won't be so many people in Chuanxiang Garden. You guys should take turns to rest first." After Mr. Sheng said this, the secret guard withdrew.

Sheng Zhiyao was wondering why the eldest prince wanted to kill grandpa, when Old Marquis Sheng had already walked to her side: "Zhiyao is awake, are you hungry? Grandpa will prepare milk for you."

Sheng Laohou walked to the side and picked up the milk bottle and walked over. Sheng Zhiyao was not calm the moment she saw the milk bottle. How could there be such a thing here? Although it was different from modern milk bottles, she could tell at a glance that it was

The bottle is made of glass, but I don’t know what material the nipple is made of.

Sheng Laohou skillfully picked her up and started to breastfeed her. Sheng Zhiyao resisted with all her strength. She had not used this thing to drink milk for more than 20 years, but grandpa kept stuffing it into her mouth, and she could only reluctantly hold it in her mouth.

After drinking the pacifier and goat milk, Zhiyao realized that she was hungry. She observed the room while drinking.

She suddenly felt that the bed next to her was strange, because the bed was upright and did not fit the era she lived in. The bed seemed to be made in a modern style, with a bed frame and mattress, and even two symmetrical

There is a glass water glass on the bedside table, which is really weird.

She instinctively took a mouthful of milk and spurted it out.

"Slow down, slow down, don't be in a hurry and drink slowly." The old Marquis looked at her kindly.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at him and thought of her grandfather who had just passed away. She couldn't hold back and cried "Wow".

"Don't cry Zhiyao, don't cry, grandpa is here." With these simple words, Sheng Zhiyao felt warm in her heart when she looked at this person who looked exactly like her grandpa.

The old Marquis hugged her and coaxed her. Butler Li heard the cry and knocked on the door: "Master Marquis, do you need my help?"

"No, I can do it."

Butler Li smiled and replied: "Yes, then I will go and decorate the room for the lady."

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the old Marquis and then at the big bed and glass in the room, and her imagination suddenly opened up. Since she can travel here, grandpa may not be able to. Maybe the old Marquis is her grandfather.

She looked so much like him that she doubted it.

In addition, these unconventional things appear here, there must be a time traveler or more here.

She looked at the old Marquis with unblinking eyes, as if she could find out whether the old Marquis had traveled through time just by staring at him.

But when the old Marquis looked at Sheng Zhiyao, he smiled very happily. When Sheng Zhiyao saw him smiling, she felt that it was even more interesting, and she waved her little hands excitedly.

The old Marquis couldn't help but tease her when he saw her looking so happy.

But because Sheng Zhiyao was still a newborn baby after all, she fell asleep quietly after a while, and it was already dark when she woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes with different colors staring at her. She was so scared that she suddenly cried.

"Yuan Chen." Mr. Sheng said angrily to the little boy.

"Master, she's awake." The little boy looked at Sheng Lixin awkwardly. He really just wanted to take a look, but who knew she suddenly woke up.

Old Marquis Sheng shook his sleeves and said "hum", picked up Sheng Zhiyao who was lying in the cradle, and patted her gently.

Sheng Zhiyao poked her head out of her grandfather's arms and looked at this strange little boy. The strange pupils on his fair and angular face were particularly eye-catching. The little boy's sharp eyes were also looking at her. The eyes of the two of them were in

At this moment together, Sheng Zhiyao did not cry again because of the strange eyes. Instead, she felt that this little boy looked pretty good.

The little boy was now curious. The little girl who had been scared to tears by him just now was looking straight at her, which made him feel embarrassed.

The boy turned his head and stopped looking at her, but Sheng Zhiyao laughed "l...l...".

Seeing Zhiyao's smiling face, Mr. Sheng's anger faded away: "It seems that you brat is quite popular."

The little boy saw that the old Marquis was no longer angry, so he took a cup of tea from the table next to him and handed it to him.
