Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 438 Leaving Beijing (4)

When Lu Yuan arrived, Lin Yan had already fought with a group of men in black.

The flash of swords and swords was dazzling.

He quickly drew out the blood-drinking sword from his waist, put his toes on the horse's back, flew forward, and joined the battle.

Lin Yan, who was still struggling at first, became obviously much more relaxed after Lu Yuan joined him, and he gradually became more comfortable dealing with those men in black.

After a while, Wen Shucheng came up again, followed by Ji Yue and Zhao Bin. It took the five of them half an hour to get rid of a group of about twenty men in black.

Zhao Bin stepped forward and groped for a moment on the body of the leading man in black. After a while, he saw him pull out a square token from the man's body.

"Young Master, he is a dead soldier of Prince Annan's Palace."

Zhao Bin handed the token to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan reached out and took it, holding the token tightly with a gloomy look on his face.

Wen Shucheng kicked away the body of a man in black, stepped forward and said, "It seems we were targeted when we left the city!"

Lin Yan took out the handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword, blew on it a few more times, and then put it into the scabbard.

Jiyue stepped forward, took out a small bottle from her chest, and put a drop on each corpse. The corpses instantly smoked, and soon turned into soot and dissipated, leaving only pools of shocking blood spreading on the snow.

At this time, the carriage Gu Panxia was riding in also slowly approached.

Gu Panxia opened the curtain with a slight movement and poked her head out of the car. When she saw Lu Yuan nodding towards her, Gu Panxia breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the curtain again.

Several people jumped on their horses and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. The wheels of the carriage slowly ran over the frozen blood.

Lin Yan said coldly: "I thought that after Zhou Yu's incident, the old man would calm down for a while, but I didn't expect that not long ago, he started to make a fuss again."

Wen Shucheng snorted, "King Annan has been coveting the throne for many years. Now, he is getting older and older, but he still can't get even close to the throne. Can he not be anxious?"

If he wants to sit on the throne, the first thing he needs to do is to get rid of Lu Yuan. In the world of Zhou Dynasty, as long as Lu Yuan is around, he will not be able to ascend to that position.

"I'm afraid this journey won't be peaceful!" Ji Yue sighed quietly.

It's really a headache to think that he is a man of the world, but because of boring things like Lu Yuan's involvement in the dispute over the throne.

Lin Yan shrugged and said: "What are you afraid of? At worst, the soldiers will come and cover up the water and the soil. Besides, we have two trump cards, the fourth child and the younger brother and sister. Are we still afraid of them?"

Lu Yuan's brows raised almost inaudibly. I don't know since when, Gu Panxia's position has become as important as him in the hearts of Lin Yan, Wen Shucheng and others.

He was very happy that his dear girl could be recognized by his relatives and friends.

I remember that when I just returned to Beijing from the north, my grandfather sent a letter asking him to take Gu Panxia to the Regent's Palace. Unfortunately, when Gu Panxia came to Beijing, he ran into the matter between Zhou and Gu Dahai. It was time to go back to Qingyou Town to celebrate the New Year, but I couldn't go, so I had to wait until the next time I returned to Beijing.

Several people thought that there might be some setbacks along the way. To their surprise, the road was calm all the time. Until almost dusk, no enemy soldiers were seen.

Lin Yan muttered: "That's good, it saves a lot of trouble!"

Gongchun and Lu Qi also woke up at this time. They were leaning listlessly in the car, their eyes were dull and lifeless, and they looked a little breathtaking.

Gu Panxia used the small stove in the carriage to boil water for him, made a pot of hot tea himself, poured a cup for each of them, and then said: "We will be at the inn not far ahead, let's have a cup of hot tea to warm up first. Let’s eat something to fill our stomach, and then we’ll have something hot when we get to the inn.”

After hearing this, the two of them approached the small table in the middle, picked up the tea cups and drank slowly.
