There were two big characters engraved on the token: Imperial Guards.

Seeing that the token was heavy and ancient, the soldier did not suspect it was fake and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

Chen Feiyang didn't delay and jumped on the carriage and left the city gate.

Qin Yan and Ye followed closely behind the carriage, heading south.

In the carriage, Su Qiuyue was drowsy, and soon fell asleep leaning against the carriage.

When she woke up again, it was already daybreak.

Su Qiuyue rubbed her eyes and jumped off the carriage. She saw the emperor sitting under the shade of a tree eating snacks. Chen Feiyang and Xia Chuyao were standing beside the emperor, looking around vigilantly.

Ye and Qin Yan sat under another tree with their eyes closed to rest. Su Qiuyue's stomach growled with hunger and she couldn't help swallowing.

What a mistake! She didn't even bring any dry food.

She did not dare to ask the emperor for food. She walked to the tree where Ye and Qin Yan were resting and began to rummage through their bags. Unexpectedly, these two grown men did not bring any food in their bags except one or two sets of clothes and medicines.

Su Qiuyue pouted and sat down under the tree, and began to watch the emperor eat intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Qilin caught a glimpse of Su Qiuyue looking at him eagerly while eating snacks, and wanted to give her a few pieces to try. However, he thought of Su Qiuyue's four big bags, and the thought of sharing disappeared without a trace.

Su Qiuyue originally thought that the emperor should at least give her a few snacks, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so stingy.

Su Qiuyue had no choice but to wake up Qin Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Qin Yan, I'm hungry. Go and hunt some game."

Qin Yan was woken up, glared at Su Qiuyue, and said unhappily: "Why don't you ask Xiaoye to go."

"Xiaoye is resting, didn't you see?"

"Auntie, I'm resting too! Are you blind?"

"I don't care. I'll ask you to go anyway."

Qin Yan had no choice but to go deep into the woods to look for game while humming.

Not long after, Qin Yan came back with a fat rabbit.

Su Qiuyue had already made a simple barbecue grill and started a fire.

Qin Yan roasted the skinned rabbit over the fire. After a while, the aroma of roasted meat spread, causing the emperor and the two secret guards to look over here frequently.

Not sure if it was intentional or not, but Chu Qilin saw Su Qiuyue chewing on the rabbit meat, smacking her lips and saying it was delicious.

Chu Qilin suddenly felt that the dessert in his hand was not sweet anymore. After all, he was the ruler of a country, he couldn't just shamelessly ask that girl for it.

"Chen Feiyang, go hunt a wild rabbit and a pheasant. Xia Chuyao, go make a fire." Chu Qilin ordered.

"Yes!"

The carriage traveled for three days and arrived at the Summer Resort at the foot of Mount Lu. Su Qiuyue observed the peach blossom jade pendant along the way and saw that the jade pendant was getting brighter and brighter. It seemed that they were heading in the right direction.

After resting for a day in the Mountain Resort, Su Qiuyue and her companions set off for the south.

In the middle of the night, several people stayed in a dilapidated temple in the wilderness.

The environment here is too bad, there are too many mosquitoes, and creepy screams can be heard from outside from time to time. Su Qiuyue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In a daze, Su Qiuyue saw Qin Yan and Xiao Ye quickly surrounding her, and she looked outside the Arrancar with vigilant eyes.

Su Qiuyue sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yan made a gesture to keep quiet, lowered his voice and said, "A large number of people are coming in this direction. They may be coming for us."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiuyue immediately walked to the emperor and stood with him.

Soon, dozens of masked men in black broke into the ruined temple. They drew their swords and machetes and slashed at the emperor.

The two secret guards and Qin Yan and Ye hurried forward to meet the enemy.

Su Qiuyue knew she was no match for her opponent, so she found a secluded place to hide.

There were more and more people in black. Although Xiaoye and the other four were top masters, they could not withstand the large number of people and gradually could not take care of the safety of Su Qiuyue and the emperor.

At this time, Chen Feiyang said loudly: "Chu Yao, they are coming for the master, you take the master and Miss Su away first."

Ye dodged the attack and kicked a man in black several meters away. He turned around and said to Su Qiuyue, "You go first."

"Okay," Su Qiuyue did not hesitate and followed the emperor to jump out of the window of the ruined temple.

Seeing this, several men in black followed. Fortunately, Xia Chuyao's kung fu was quite good. After injuring the men in black, he took Su Qiuyue and the emperor and ran towards the mountain behind.

The three men didn't know how long they had been running. When they saw that they had shaken off the pursuers, they hid in a place shaded by trees.

Su Qiuyue didn't even dare to move until it was bright outside and she saw Ye's figure coming, then she dared to come out.

"Xiaoye, have all the assassins been driven away?"

When Ye saw Su Qiuyue, he hurried over and looked up and down. Seeing that Su Qiuyue was not injured, he replied, "They are all dead."

Chu Qilin frowned and asked, "Why didn't you leave anyone alive?"

"They were all professional killers, and the few we caught all committed suicide."

Su Qiuyue added: "Who sent them? The target seems to be the emperor. Not many people know that we left the Summer Resort, right?"

Ye did not answer and looked at Chu Qilin.

Chu Qilin's face didn't look good. After a long while, he sighed and said faintly, "I only informed the Crown Prince and King Xuan about the trip south."

Uh, Su Qiuyue didn’t know what to say. The struggle in the royal family seemed cruel, but it only existed in history books and legends. She didn’t expect it to happen right in front of her eyes today.

She didn't know whether it was the prince or Chu Feng who sent people to assassinate the emperor. It shouldn't be Chu Feng, because he was not that kind of person.

At this moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, no one spoke, and Chu Qilin seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

He is an emperor, but more importantly, he is a father.

After a long time, Chen Feiyang and Qin Yan also rushed over. Qin Yan seemed not to notice the silence between them, and said loudly: "I don't know which bastard hired the killer. It's useless."

When Chu Qilin heard Qin Yan's words, his face turned even darker.

Su Qiuyue quickly winked at Qin Yan. Seeing Su Qiuyue's winking expression, Qin Yan said, "Su Qiuyue, what are you doing? Am I wrong? Those assassins are really not good, and their masters must not be good people either."

Su Qiuyue really wanted to go up and slap Qin Yan. "Brother, can you stop talking? Don't you see that the emperor wants to eat you alive?"

The group, each with their own thoughts, continued to move south. This time they were extremely careful. Not only did they change carriages frequently, they also disguised themselves as merchants traveling north and south to transport goods.

The journey was safe and sound. After more than ten days, the group arrived at Hangzhou, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is also a Hangzhou in this world, I don’t know if it is a coincidence or not.

After finding an inn and settling down, Su Qiuyue took out the peach blossom jade pendant. Over the past ten days, the jade pendant had become brighter and brighter, which meant that she was getting closer to the place where the door of miracles would open.

Counting the time, there are still three days left before the door of miracles will appear. Although Su Qiuyue has some worries in her heart, she is more filled with anticipation and excitement.

Two days later, following the guidance of the jade pendant, the group arrived at the edge of a primeval forest.
