Zhang Shenmu has been in Tai Hospital for many years, what kind of conspiracy and risk has he never heard of?With his medical skills, he should have died of old age in the capital, but he was able to retire and return to his hometown. It was all because his mother lived long enough and was ill.

Hearing what Su Ya said now, he immediately understood, and gasped, "You, you mean...?"

"If there is malice, the road is the best opportunity." Su Ya looked at Zhang Shenmu's gray beard and hair, and did not speak too clearly, but comforted: "Maybe I am too worried, anyway, you take care of yourself."

She lightly held Shen Huai's hands again. These were her favorite hands, but now they were covered with many bruised bloodstains. She pointed to the small bloodletting openings exposed on his fingertips and wrists, and asked Zhang Shenmu: " If the previous situation persists, do we still need to undergo bloodletting to alleviate it?"

"Now it's the only way to do it," Zhang Shenmu sighed, "...it's only a matter of time."

Su Ya lowered her eyes, and Shen Huai's hands were cold and limply being held by her, but above the elbows, the scalding fire had already evaporated, his body was like a burning oil lamp, and was moving inch by inch. Life burns out.

"It'll be fine," she said.

Zhang Shenmu hesitated to speak, but finally sighed, and hurried to tidy up.

In a moment, dawn has arrived.

The chariots and horses lined up under the arch guard of Cao Bing and restarted in front of Zhang Shenmu's house.

Su Ya raised the corner of the carriage curtain and watched Xu Guogong and Cao Kaihe board the carriage ahead, not ignoring Cao Kaihe's winks and whispers back and forth with several of his subordinates before getting into the carriage.

Before lowering the curtain, she glanced at the dozens of soldiers behind the car, raised her hand and knocked on the frame of the car, and said to the two drivers sitting in front: "Go slowly later, the stone road is uneven, Mr. Shen can't stand the bumps."

"Girl, it's not fast," a coachman replied, "We have to follow the car dealer in front."

"If you are told to slow down, you will slow down. Where did you get those many conditions?" Su Ya said displeased: "Will you drive the car? If not, just change people."

The coachman's smile froze, and a trace of hostility was about to come out. The coachman next to him gave him a hand, and smiled at Su Ya: "Understood, the girl is seated, and the little ones will definitely slow down."

Su Ya snorted, and flung down the car curtain, leaving a small gap quietly.

Sure enough, someone immediately went to Cao Kaihe.After a while, the man came back, and after a few whispers, the chariot started, with Xu Guogong and Cao Kaihe leading the way, followed by Shen Huai and Su Ya's chariot, and Zhang Shenmu's chariot at the end, leaving the alley one by one.

At this time, it was just after Mao Shi, the morning air was thin and steamy, there were only a few pedestrians scattered in the streets and alleys, it was very deserted, only Su Ya's non-stop criticizing voice sounded from time to time.

"Hey! How do you drive? It's too bumpy!"

"Slow down, didn't you hear me?"

"Hurry up? Didn't you do it on purpose?!"

"..."

The coachman probably got Cao Kaihe's order, the carriage was not moving fast, but Su Ya was still dissatisfied, and just passed two streets, he commanded Zhang Shenmu's car to go over the front on the grounds of bumping.

"This woman doesn't know good intentions, I'm afraid she is still dissatisfied," Xu Guogong put down the curtain of the car, endured it, and finally complained: "I can't see that she has some domineering habits."

"Master Shen is young, and he is usually spoiled a little." Cao Kaihe replied: "The Duke was tossed up in the middle of the night, and he didn't have a rest. It was very hard work. Why don't you go back and rest first, and I will stay here to take care of you. Can."

"Hey, no," Xu Guogong waved his hand, "after all, he is a relative recognized by the emperor and the pillar of the country in the future. Today I am too eager to resolve your conflict, but now I feel something is wrong... Let Slow down the horses and chariots, we will send people to Cao Du's mansion, it is safest to start well and end well."

Cao Kaihe should be, he ordered his attendants to do things through the curtain of the car, but his hand with a finger wrench stuck out from the car window, knocked on the wooden wall, and made two more gestures.

Su Ya was touching the dagger on his leg, leaning over the curtain of the car with a tense face, the car in front blocked his view, but at this moment, the road turned ahead, and Su Ya saw Cao Kaihe's hand sticking out of the car.

Looking up, there was a faint flash of sharpness on the wall of the alley in front, which was the color of a familiar crossbow arrow, and the cold hair stood on end for a moment. Su Ya drew out the dagger without hesitation, opened the curtain, and the handle hit the necks of the two drivers quickly and hard. On the other side, the two of them didn't even have time to say anything before they were brought down by Su Ya.

The dozen or so soldiers in the back had just received the signal and distanced themselves from the carriage, when they saw the vehicle in front suddenly turn around the corner and rush towards the other side of the long street.

"what happened!"

They couldn't react, and looked at each other, but saw arrows raining down in front of them, and a team in commoner battalions, armed with swords, bows and crossbows, jumped out of the street and alley, chasing Su Ya's carriage.

The commotion disturbed the car in front, Cao Kaihe and Zhang Shenmu lifted the curtains of the car almost at the same time.

"Protect the Duke!"

Cao Kaihe shouted, and twenty or thirty soldiers immediately gathered to guard the carriage tightly.

"What happened?" Xu Guogong asked in surprise.

"There are assassins!" Cao Kaihe said in a deep voice, "Duke, please don't take any risks. Cao will go and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and came out, and immediately his relatives came to listen to him. Cao Kaihe's eyes were bloodshot when he heard it, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Trash!"

At the moment, he didn't care much, put on the saddle and galloped away.

In fact, Su Ya didn't know how to drive a carriage, but just bit the bullet, relying on his usual observation and imagination, coupled with the little opportunity he took just now, he swung the whip vigorously around the backs of the two horses, and unexpectedly He also drove the carriage into the air, and went straight along the long street to the northwest of the city.

However, the chasing soldiers quickly closed the distance, and when the rear arrow hit the flattery, the horses were startled, and they rampaged on the street, evoking exclamations.

However, after running for such a distance, it was enough, Su Ya quickly got back into the carriage, picked up Shen Huai on his back, looked at the gap where the street turned again, jumped down decisively, and dodged into the alley next to him.

The carriage whizzed by, leaving behind a short and winding alley, which looked like a dead end.

However, Su Ya didn't hesitate at all, and after landing, she carried Shen Huai to the end of the alley.Walking to the end, it suddenly became clear on the right hand side that there was another straight corner.

Su Ya gritted her teeth and rushed over. As soon as she hid with Shen Huai, several figures rolled past the alley, chasing the carriage.

In broad daylight, they actually dared to assassinate and chase on the street, Su Ya's heart was pounding, Cao Kaihe was really crazy.

She didn't dare to stay, and carried Shen Huai to the end of the narrow alley.

Su Ya had a reason for choosing to jump off the car here.

She travels in Huai'an city all the year round, and is very familiar with the streets and alleys in the city. From Zhang Shenmu's residence to Cao Du's mansion, she must pass through the long street next to it. The long street is connected to the Li Canal that runs through the city. It happened to be blocked into a "D" by the Li Canal.

This T-shaped road, one side goes to the official Yamen Street, and the other side goes deep into the place where officials and businessmen live.

Coincidentally, in the depths of this narrow passage that looks like a dead end, you will pass the mansion of an acquaintance.

Everything was planned, Su Ya supported the unconscious Shen Huai and just turned into the corner, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the street outside, and the sound of arrows hitting the carriage and the stone road was either crisp or muffled, and could be heard endlessly.

Su Ya's hands trembled a little, but she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. After hearing the sound from outside, she immediately carried Shen Huai to a corner door in front of her.
