Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Xu Xingyin couldn't comment on Jing Zhichen's decision, so he agreed without asking the reason.

Five days later, the main force set off on time.

In addition to the ordinary accompanying guards, Jing Zhichen assigned half of the Black Tiger Cavalry and the Secret Guards to Xu Xingyin.

In addition, the entire Jinyiwei team was left to Xu Xingyin.

Generally speaking, if traveling north from the south of the Yangtze River, most people would choose to go through Xuzhou.

The road from Xuzhou to the capital is mostly official, so people are less affected and the scenery is better.

The weather in Yuzhou is bad and the road is winding, so few people would choose this route.

However, if Jing Zhichen wants to go to Cangzhou, going through Yuzhou is indeed the best choice.

The scenery along the road to Xuzhou was indeed nice, and the journey was quite smooth. Xu Xingyin kept in mind the instructions of Jing Zhichen and Old Madam Chen, and never took the initiative to contact anyone from the Chen family along the way.

However, Lu Xu, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was quite concerned about the Chen family. Those who knew about Lu Xu's relationship with the General Zhennan's Mansion always praised him for being "righteous", while those who didn't say anything so nice.

"Look, this young Lord Lu is still young but holds a high position. He must have risen to the top by flattering others. Now, he is trying to please the Chen family just for the Crown Princess!"

If it were in the past, Lu Xu would definitely take action to punish the person after hearing these words.

But now, he didn't know whether it was because the officialdom had smoothed his edges, or because the three words "Crown Princess" pierced his heart, he actually took a step back silently, pretending that he had not heard the rumors of others, and turned away.

Lu Xu's indifference caused the rumors to grow more and more intense, and soon they reached Xu Xingyin's ears.

The Crown Princess, who usually had a good temper, got angry and ordered the entourage not to make any irresponsible comments. Then she arrested two people and beat them with a stick as a warning to others. Only then did everyone stop talking nonsense.

Xu Xingyin was very angry, and Dan Feng was not good at speaking and didn't know how to comfort her. Instead, Mei Hanxuan wrote a word on a blank booklet and handed it to her.

"Princess, look, the view outside the window is beautiful."

Mei Hanxuan's right hand was injured and she couldn't hold a pen, so the words were written with her left hand. The handwriting was crooked and not very beautiful.

But seeing that she was so kind, Xu Xingyin did not reject her kindness. He lifted the car curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The south of the Yangtze River has just entered winter at this time of year, and the colorful splendor has faded. Only two rows of withered and yellow trees are left on the road, which are tinged with a bit of freshness in the drizzling winter rain.

Although not as lively as spring, it has its own charm.

Xu Xingyin looked outside and smiled, saying, "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is different. Winter rain turns into spring chill."

Seeing that Xu Xingyin was in a much better mood than before, Mei Hanxuan was relieved and happily wrote a message and handed it over:

"The Crown Princess is very talented in writing."

Xu Xingyin just thought that Mei Hanxuan was teasing him and didn't think much about it. However, Mei Hanrui, who was standing next to him, looked a little unhappy and helped Mei Hanxuan explain.

"Sister, what you mean is that the Crown Princess is very knowledgeable and she quotes from classics whenever she opens her mouth."

Mei Hanrui was so anxious that Xu Xingyin was a little confused.

Mei Hanrui had been acting a little strange along the way, and Xu Xingyin thought it was probably because she was homesick, so he didn't think much about it. But now, she seemed even more strange.

Perhaps seeing a hint of suspicion in Xu Xingyin's expression, Mei Hanxuan spoke again.

"In a few days, we will reach Liang County, right?"

Xu Xingyin glanced at the map in his hand and nodded, "Yes, we're almost there."

Liang County is the hometown of Mei Hanxuan and her sister. Once they arrive there, Xu Xingyin will send someone to send them back home, and this banquet that was held by chance will be over.

"Where does the Crown Princess live?"

Mei Hanxuan frowned when she heard this, wrote a sentence and handed it over, then felt that it was inappropriate, so she pulled the book back and added another sentence.

"When my hens lay eggs or I hunt some game in the mountains, I'll ask someone to send some to you."

Mei Hanxuan's simple words made Xu Xingyin feel a little sour in his nose. A good girl like Mei Hanxuan shouldn't have to suffer so much.

"North City East Mansion."

After thinking about it, Xu Xingyin added: "If you can't find it, just ask around in the capital. Everyone should know it."

Mei Hanxuan nodded and honestly wrote down the address Xu Xingyin told her in the booklet, looking very serious.

Xu Xingyin withdrew his gaze from the paper and asked Mei Hanxuan softly.

"What are your plans when you get home?"

"I'm stupid, and now I can't speak, so I'm afraid I can't find a job. I thought that after I go back, I will be a good farm girl, raise chickens and farm, save some money to buy delicious food for my parents, and save some money to marry Hanrui."

"What about yourself?"

"Being able to be with my father and mother, and seeing Hanrui get married and have children, this is my greatest blessing."

Xu Xingyin didn’t know how to comfort Mei Hanxuan, so he just pulled Mei Hanxuan’s hand.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also send a letter to the East Palace."

Mei Hanxuan smiled and was about to write when she heard something hit the car wall with a "bang". Everyone in the car fell and hit the car wall because of the sudden change.

Before I could even cry out in pain, I heard the noisy sounds of fighting outside getting closer and closer.

Xu Xingyin, who was knocked dizzy, finally managed to steady himself. He wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going on outside, but then someone quickly approached the carriage, slashed open the door with a sharp blade, and stabbed at him with a sharp sword.

Mei Hanxuan, who was still standing there in a daze a moment ago, subconsciously reached out to block the sword. Seeing this, the masked man turned the blade slightly and plunged it into Mei Hanxuan's chest.

The bright red blood with a warm breath splashed all over Xu Xingyin's face.

There was no time to panic as the man in black attacked again with his sword. Xu Xingyin grabbed Mei Hanrui and fell to the side, barely avoiding the attack from the man in black.

When the man in black was about to stab again, someone rushed over shouting "Protect the Crown Princess".

Xu Xingyin knew that they could no longer stay in the carriage, so he called Dan Feng and Mei Hanrui, helped Mei Hanxuan get out of the carriage, and hid behind a huge rock nearby.

Xu Xingyin knew very well that they did not know martial arts and would only become a burden to everyone if they went out. Protecting themselves would be the greatest help to them.

At this time, the outside was already bloody.

Everywhere you look, there are broken corpses and the cold flash of swords and sabers. The shrill shouts of killing are heard one after another. On the hillside in the distance, there are densely packed archers. The arrows in the sky whistled through the rain, penetrated the bodies of the soldiers, and raised a bloody mist.

The sudden attack caused heavy casualties among the accompanying team, and more than half of them have been lost.

"The Chen family army invites you to fight!"

Amid the noisy shouts and cries of killing, Chen Yunbo's calm and loud voice seemed even more abrupt.

The Chen family members were suspects. Even though the prince had granted them special permission to enter the capital without riding in a prison carriage, they were still detained in a specially made carriage with iron locks on the outside.
