At the beginning of the morning hour, the sky was slightly bright. Just as the group reached a depression only a dozen miles away from the capital, dozens of feather arrows suddenly flew towards them from all directions.

"Protect the madam!" Yun Wei roared, drew the soft sword from her waist, swung it forward, and shot down several flying arrows.

Everyone in the General's Mansion took up weapons to resist.

They protected the carriage and kept retreating, looking for a place to hide.

However, before they found a place, more arrows fell like raindrops. Although everyone fought hard, someone was soon injured.

The injured maid died soon.

"The arrow is poisonous!" Yun Wei said in surprise.

A feather arrow flew into the carriage through the curtain and pierced into the wall of the carriage, right next to Fan'er's temple. Fan'er screamed in fright.

"Get down!" Shen Qingyin pulled Fan'er and lay down close to the bottom of the carriage.

Just as he finished speaking, another arrow flew into the car.

Everyone tried their best to resist, and the carriage slowly retreated. After an unknown amount of time, the arrows finally flew away.

However, before they could catch their breath, a group of men in black holding swords and knives rushed out from behind the high slopes on both sides.

In an instant, swords and sabers flashed and shouts of killing rang out one after another.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, as if it was hit by something, and the entire carriage overturned to the ground.

Shen Qingyin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot.

She took a deep breath, ignored the pain, turned over and crawled out of the carriage.

"Madam, are you okay?" Fan'er crawled out.

The next moment, a man in black was seen stabbing the horse's butt with a sword. The horse ran forward wildly, and the overturned carriage also rushed forward.

"Madam!" Yun Wei and Yun Chan saw Shen Qingyin lying on the ground and hurriedly came over to protect her.

Other people from the general's mansion also came over to protect him.

However, many people were injured, and several died after being hit by poisonous arrows.

Those men in black were well prepared, and with their large numbers, they became more courageous as the battle went on.

It seemed like we were about to be defeated.

Another batch of feather arrows whizzed towards him from behind.

Shen Qingyin secretly said that it was not good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape today.

Yun Wei and Yun Chan were also startled. They looked at each other and suddenly pounced on her, trying to protect her.

The next moment, they discovered that these arrows were not aimed at them, but at the men in black.

After screaming, the men in black fell to the ground one after another.

"Go!" Several men in black riding fast horses rushed out from behind and shouted at them.

Yun Wei and Yun Chan hurriedly stood up, helped Shen Qingyin to mount the horse, turned the horses around, and went with everyone else on the other side of the path back to Beijing.

Shen Qingyin looked back and saw that the later black-clad men and the earlier black-clad men had already started fighting...

If she guessed correctly, these people who came later were the ones who saved her in the forest before, but Shen Qingyin had no idea who they were...

At the beginning of the morning hour, the city gate opened. After Shen Qingyin sent someone to report to the authorities, he stumbled back to the general's mansion with the others.

Mrs. Mu looked at the situation and broke out in a sweat.

Looking at Shen Qing's left foot which was still bleeding from being pierced by a wooden splinter, he felt even more distressed.

He hurriedly called the court doctor to stop the bleeding for Shen Qingyin and the others, and sent someone to Bixiyuan to invite Feng Yunmo.

"Don't worry, grandma. My granddaughter-in-law is fine." Shen Qingyin comforted her.

Madam Mu held her hand and blamed herself, "I was careless... I didn't expect these people to dare to do this!"

Yun Wei stepped forward and explained the details of the situation one by one.

"So, there were two groups of people trying to kill you?" Mrs. Mu was full of confusion.

"Yes, there are indeed two groups of people, and they don't seem to be of the same kind. Although they are all very ruthless, their skills are obviously different." Yun Wei said.

The leader of the secret guards also confirmed Yun Wei's judgment: "The ones who attacked us in front seemed to be soldiers, and the ones who came later seemed to be gangsters—"

"Oh, that's strange." Mrs. Mu frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Actually, there is a third group of people, but this third group is here to save us..." Shen Qingyin added.

"To save you?" Mrs. Mu was even more confused.

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Yes, their skills are equally powerful, but they don't seem to want to reveal their identities-"

Those people looked quite mysterious.

He only takes action at critical moments, but is not willing to expose himself to others.

They obviously didn't want to show up unless they had to.

"Yes, Madam is right. The reason why we were able to return safely later was thanks to this group of people who covered our retreat. The leader of the secret guards and Yun Wei also expressed their opinions.

Madam Mu frowned and thought deeply, but for a moment she couldn't figure out the reason.

After a moment, she said with a firm look in her eyes: "I will get to the bottom of this matter!"

Half an hour later, Feng Yunmo hurried to the general's mansion from Bixiyuan.

Seeing Shen Qingyin's injuries, Feng Yunmo's originally calm face suddenly turned gloomy as water, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Who did it?" he asked in a deep voice.

Shen Qingyin shook his head: "I don't know yet."

In fact, the first group of people came from the army, which she couldn't guess for a moment.

But she already had a guess about the second group of people.

I'm afraid that this second group of people were actually sent by Qin Jinshu.

She still remembered that before, she was abducted to Qingshui Temple, and the group of black-clad men who attacked her were obviously gangsters.

With Qin Jinshu's status, if she didn't have the support of Prince An or Prince An's son Qin Zhihan, the only people she could order around would be these assassins...

Prince An's Mansion.

Qin Jinshu hurried into the yard of her second brother Qin Zhihao.

"Second brother, what's going on? Have those people sent back any news?" Qin Jinshu looked expectant.

This time, it was a great opportunity, and with the support of her second brother, she couldn't think of any reason why she wouldn't succeed.

Qin Zhihao shook his head.

There was a hint of anxiety on his face.

Logically speaking, those people should have replied at the first quarter of the morning, but it was already past the third quarter of the morning and still no one had replied.

This is really unusual...

"What's going on? Are these people you found reliable?" Qin Jinshu couldn't help but complain.

Qin Zhihao signaled her to stay calm.

"Wait a little longer. This is not the first time I've worked with them. They've always been reliable in their work."

Just as he finished speaking, a guard came in and said, "Yun Ying is back."

Hearing that it was Yunying, Qin Jinshu ordered: "Ask her in."

"But is there any movement at the general's mansion?" Qin Jinshu asked anxiously without waiting for Yun Ying to speak.

Yun Ying bowed and said, "My lord, my lord. Shen Qingyin has returned to the general's mansion."

Qin Jinshu's face darkened: "Please tell me more clearly, is it Shen Qingyin who returned to the General's Mansion, or her body?"

Yun Ying choked and answered cautiously: "My Lord, yes, Shen Qingyin has returned to the General's Mansion..."
