Chapter Thirty-Five: Encounter on the North Road
The eldest princess? Impossible. If she had such ability, how could she be chased and killed by two forces without the ability to fight back.
That's the prince.
Thinking of this possibility, she was so angry that she wanted to turn over the table. She knew she couldn't trust him. She had promised not to investigate the assassination, but then she turned around and sent someone to silence him. Could it be because she had taken advantage of him? In his previous life, he
Did she take advantage of it? It’s ridiculous.
The above is just her personal preference, and I am not sure. If I really want to make an objective analysis, I would also add Qi Xinai. Because this is not the first time that she has sent someone to kill her, and Qi Xinai was also there that day, so she can’t tell where.
He accidentally let her know his whereabouts.
It's just that this assassination made me more alert. No matter who wanted to kill her, it meant that she was in a very dangerous situation. One of the nine people escaped. After that person returned to life, if he was the person behind it, he would definitely be killed.
This person has been upgraded to a highly valued target because it is too difficult to kill and there are hidden dangers that cannot be ignored.
Perhaps the medicinal properties made people tired, so Fengling fell asleep unknowingly, and early the next morning, she set off with the caravan and left through the North City Gate.
On the way, Fengling started to inquire: "Boss Li, where are you going to supply goods in the north?"
Boss Li is the leader of the caravan. He is about thirty years old. He likes to laugh very much. He makes people feel good but always has a certain distance.
Boss Li replied: "Hey, isn't there going to be a war? Once the border crossing starts, there will be a shortage of supplies. I have a few shops in Weizhou. I will ship more goods there before the war starts."
Fengling said: "That's true. Materials are scarce and prices will rise sharply. Maybe we can earn some traveling expenses back."
Boss Li shook his head and sighed: "What kind of money are you making? I wish I could come back alive. We businessmen are too embarrassed to earn the hard-earned money of the common people. We went here because we wanted to do something for Weizhou."
Merchant, Fengling curled her lips silently, how could he be a merchant? Just how much the two carts of goods could be sold for. And the merchant had no profit, so how could it be possible for them to send money?
Fengling knew it well and did not expose them. It happened that she also wanted to go north to the border. At this time, the imperial court was already dispatching troops to Weizhou. If the eldest princess arrived at the station of Dongxu's army in advance, Weizhou would be in danger.
Already.
Now it was clear that she could leave alone, but the other party didn't mention anything and still took her with him, as if she was one of them. It was obvious that he had a purpose.
And Fengling didn't want to alert others and fall out with them, so she pretended to be innocent with the other party, who was afraid of whom.
It took three days to travel from Minzhou to the boundary of Cangzhou. It should have been faster, but the wheel broke on the way and it rained heavily. I was delayed in the countryside for a day on the way. After repairing the wheel, we continued forward. When we entered Cangzhou City, the weather was bad.
It rained heavily again, and the caravan could only stop and rest at a tea shed one kilometer away from the city gate.
"Boss, please bring some bowls of herbal tea!"
"Hey, come on~" The busy boss threw the rag to his shoulder and rushed over with a plate of tea. It happened to be the table where Fengling and Boss Li were sitting.
Fengling was stunned when she saw the boss's slightly outstanding face and his mean smile.
The boss winked at her and placed bowls of tea in front of everyone. He said with a smile, "Bosses, please use it slowly," and then quickly returned to the stove to pick up the remaining tea bowls.
"Cough cough cough..."
Oh, this voice sounds familiar. Fengling took a sip from the tea bowl and glanced at the person behind the stove who was lighting the fire. The person's face was black and charcoal, but it was not difficult to recognize her original appearance. After Fengling was surprised,
I realized it instantly and looked at the tables next to me.

Mu Mingran, Zhang Tingyan, Zhang Baoxuan, Sizhu.
Hey, good guys, several acquaintances from the elite camp are here. What's going on?
Tang Shi puts his right hand behind his back, holds up three fingers, and counts down three, three, two, one.
After just a few seconds, he poured out a piece, which shows how powerful the medicine is.
Everyone had poured out, but Fengling was fine. Her bowl was served separately.
Suddenly, several people in the tea shed couldn't hold it in any longer.
Tang Shi threw away the rag on his shoulder and cheered in victory: "Oh! They all fell down. This is so interesting!"
Xiao Se, the girl who was lighting the fire, threw away the firewood angrily, stood up angrily and asked Tang Shi: "Why do you let me light the fire while they eat and drink as guests? You are clearly bullying me!"
Tang Shi swayed and danced: "Why are you just bullying you? You hit me, hit me, hit me."
Desolation broke out.
Fengling looked at the few people and felt warm, as if she had returned to the time in the elite camp.
Mu Mingran came over and placed his palm on her shoulder, saying, "Are you okay?"
Fengling shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Tingyan briefly described their experiences along the way. After coming out of Yandang Mountain, they followed the ruts at high speed, and finally followed them into the neighboring city. However, the footprints in the city were complicated and the original traces could no longer be found, so they asked around
At the nearest inn, if a caravan comes to stay, leave one person to stay at this inn to guard it.
After such separate operations, Fengling was finally seen leaving with the group of people in the inn where Zhang Baoxuan was staying the next morning. After getting the news, he followed him from afar for the next few days.
Thanks to the heavy rain and the delay in driving, Tang Shi and Xiao Sesu arrived half a day early and rented a tea shed outside the city they had to pass through. Mu Mingran and the others followed behind.
Fengling was surprised when she heard this, "How do you judge that we will definitely rest in the tea shed?"
Tang Shi said: "How can such a thing be 100% certain? However, Tingyan's family is in business and she has learned the ability to watch weather changes since she was a child. She speculated that there will be a heavy rain at this time. If your speed remains unchanged,
The only option is to take shelter from the rain at the tea shed, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll lose my temper and try to solicit customers, and I’ll have to drag him in even if I’m dragging him in!”
After hearing this, Fengling gave everyone a thumbs up. We are full of talented people.
Si Zhu thought of her injury at this time and said to Fengling: "Give me your hand and I will see your injury."
Only then did Tang Shi remember: "Yes, why did you forget? How is your body? Why did you bleed so much?"
Fei Ling shook his head and said it was okay, and passed his hand over. Si Zhu felt for his pulse and concluded: "It was handled in a timely manner. It's anemia and lack of energy and blood. Don't overwork yourself next time."
Zhang Tingyan asked: "Chen Ling and others are enemies or friends. Since they are enemies, how can they treat you and treat you well?"
Fengling didn't answer. She glanced at the unconscious person and asked, "How long will the medicine you put in be effective? They are all practicing practitioners to prevent them from waking up early. Let's leave for the city first and find a safe place."
Tang Shi: "No way, this medicine is enough to kill an ox, and I won't be able to wake up for half a day."
Mu Mingran said: "It's better to be careful."
After a few people gathered together, they packed up and left. The rain was still falling, so they rode forward in the rain with two people and one horse.
Mu Mingran was the last one to leave
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yes, when passing by Boss Li's position, he wrote a few words on his back with his fingers, and then rode away.
Not long after they left, Boss Li woke up leisurely, his eyes clear. He spit out the tea in his mouth, wiped his mouth, looked in that direction and smiled.
In an inn in Cangzhou City, seven people sat around and listened to Fengling recalling her experiences in the past few days. Fengling had dealt with some things that they couldn't let them know, and the connection was smooth, but there were still some questions.
Here are some suspense points.
For example, who wants to kill Fengling, who belongs to those fake caravans, and what is their purpose. The whole thing is so confusing when put together, and it is impossible to connect them at all.
After learning that Tang Shi and others were asked by Qi Xinlin to head north if they couldn't find him, Fengling fell into deep thought.
What a coincidence. The person who rescued her tried to take her north, and Qi Xinlin also asked Tang Shi and the others to go north, so that they would probably meet each other. Thinking of the connection, a possibility flashed across Fengling's mind.
"I suspect that the caravan that rescued me is from Qi Xinlin." Fengling told them her thoughts.
Mu Mingran's expression changed, and he looked to the left. He happened to bump into Zhang Tingyan who was looking at her. As soon as he touched her, no one noticed.
Tang Shi wondered, "Qi Xinlin, why did he save you? He doesn't know you." Although she knew Fengling's details, Qi Xinlin didn't know. Even if he knew, he might not help.
Xiao was huddled in the corner eating grapes. After hearing this, he laughed: "Come on, how proud of you are you? It's your turn to save you, Master Qi?"
Tang Shi threw the teacup on the table at her: "Shut up and no one will treat you as a mute."
Xiao Sesu subconsciously caught it, rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Tang Shi: "Xiao Lingling, please continue talking."
"This is just my guess, because I happened to save him once before, maybe I wanted to return the favor." I can only think of this reason, otherwise Qi Xinlin would not have gone to such trouble to save her for no reason.
Mu Mingran suddenly asked: "What are your plans for the next step? Go north to the border and wait for the army to meet up?"
"The progress of the army is not that fast, but Princess Dongxu has already left for three days. If we hurry up and take a shortcut, we can reach the border in four or five days. If Dongxu sends troops at that time, the defenders of Weizhou will not be able to defend the border at all.
Can’t live.”
"What should we do?"
Fengling said seriously: "So we must hurry up and intercept Duo Tu'er to delay the Fengyang army."
"I'll go! Why didn't I think of this? Then what are you doing here? Hurry up!"
Tang Shi stood up and was about to leave. Fengling held her back and said, "Don't worry, since she has escaped, she won't have to travel day and night. Let's sleep for an hour every day and take shortcuts. Maybe we can catch up."
"There is more than one shortcut, what should I do if I can't find it?" Zhang Baoxuan asked.
"If we really don't meet, we have to buy time. Notify the border that we won't let people travel. If the news can't get out, we can delay it. And..." Fengling thought of the scene that night and said to them: "Duo Tu'er is sitting there.
, it is the carriage of Chief Qi. However, if the carriage is changed along the way, it will be difficult to find it."
When she said this, several people present felt their hearts skip a beat, "Qi Shoufu?"
Tang Shi slapped the table with his palm, and the table shook, "Okay, the dignified chief minister Fengyang actually collaborated with the enemy and treason? How shameless!"
