A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

An Jinchen understood, and nodded.

After he came back from a business trip, the fourth princess suddenly came to him with a haggard face, and told him something that made him excited and regretted.

Excited that he has a daughter, he regrets that he and his daughter have known each other for so many years, because he didn't know that he didn't accompany her well.

The known daughter, who was mentioned by the four imperial daughters, is now poisoned by Gu, good or bad is unpredictable, An Jinchen is heartbroken, and after asking Lanyue and the others where they are going.

Before the fourth princess could finish speaking, she hurriedly led a good horse and chased towards An Chuxia and their team.

"Xia Xia, my brother is here. I will take care of Lanyue in the future, and my brother will share with you."

"...Okay!" This An Chuxia has no objections, and she doesn't want to be in the carriage every time she settles the matter, because it smells bad.

It's just a helpless way to do that. Now that my brother is here, no one will care more about Lanyue than him, and he is worthy of trust.

An Chuxia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I go in and see her?" An Jinchen said with some expectation.

An Chuxia thought of how many pairs of eyes were staring at this place, so she shook her head: "Brother must have worked hard chasing him all the way. Rest early tonight, tomorrow."

Although An Jinchen was a little disappointed, she also knew that it was so late, and it was really inappropriate to go to Lanyue at this time.

After chasing after him for so many days, he was indeed tired, "Then sister, you should also go to bed earlier, Mu Tan asked me to sleep at his place today."

Seeing the tiredness on An Jinchen's face, An Chuxia urged with concern: "I know what my brother is thinking, but it's still a long time, so I'd better go and rest first, and then I can take care of His Royal Highness Lanyue for me."

"Your Majesty is right. Brother Chen is here, and he can help her share some of the burden, saving her from going far without getting out of the carriage." Si Heng walked over and said.

"General Si!" An Jinchen and Si Heng knew each other when they were in Wei County, Northern Hebei.

It's just that An Jinchen has been sent to various places by the Ministry of Industry all the year round to help the locals guide the planting of new crops.

Also, he and Runsheng listened to An Chuxia's suggestion, and when they went out to work, they would search for high-yielding and novel seeds from Fanbang and traders running around, and report them to the court to benefit the common people.

Because he was not in the capital all year round, he didn't know that Si Heng had inherited the title of Marquis of Wu'an and became the new Marquis of Wu'an.

Si Heng also saw the exhaustion on An Jinchen's face, so he said: "It's getting late, Brother Chen should go to bed early, if you have anything to say, we brothers can talk tomorrow."

"That's good!" An Jinchen nodded to An Chuxia and Si Heng, "Then I'll go to sleep first."

"Ok!"

After An Jinchen left, Si Heng said, "I sent someone to look at that forest, and they didn't find anything unusual there."

When An Chuxia saw the dark forest under the starry sky again, it always gave people a sense of oppression and discomfort, "Oh, that may be my illusion!"

Si Heng and An Chuxia looked up at the stars in the sky, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Along the way, a group of people were picked out to assassinate every now and then, everyone's spirits were highly tense, and at this time the two of them were enjoying this rare tranquility.

Except for the soldiers on patrol and standing guard, everyone who was tired all day chose to rest early.

"You should rest early, too. You will be tired tomorrow because you will be walking the mountain road." Si Heng turned his head to look at An Chuxia's side face and said with concern.

"OK, good night!"

An Chuxia also rested in the same carriage with Lanyue at night, she nodded to Si Heng, and got into the carriage by herself.

Si Heng stood by the carriage for a while, then went to inspect the guards around, and then returned to his tent to get dressed and lie down.

Along the way, most of the soldiers slept together in order to prevent assassins from attacking them, even An Chuxia.

Thinking of An Jinchen's sudden arrival, Si Heng always felt that it was a bit far-fetched for him to say that his sister came because he was worried about his sister.

But apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reason why An Jinchen came here after chasing him so far.

After midnight, the night in the wild looks even more gloomy, and the occasional howling of wild animals from a distance makes people feel even more creepy.

An Chuxia fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly felt heart palpitations, a heart in her chest was beating uneasily.

She sat up suddenly, clutching her left chest and gasping for breath, to relieve the emotional fluctuations caused by her fast heartbeat.

At this moment, An Chuxia's pupils tightened, and she seemed to hear slight footsteps coming from outside the carriage.

An Chuxia took out the dagger she carried with her from under the pillow, held it in her hand, and gently opened the curtain of the carriage to look out.

On a clear night, the sky was full of stars, even if there was no moon, An Chuxia could still see a group of black figures slowly approaching the carriage in this quiet late night.

An Chuxia looked towards the soldiers on guard in the distance, and saw that the bonfire had been extinguished, and not even a patrolling soldier was seen.

An Chuxia realized that this situation was abnormal. There were many soldiers on guard outside, and it was impossible for all of them to fall asleep.

There is only one possibility that these people could come in quietly. The soldiers on night watch and patrol were stunned by drugs.

Why did he guess that he was stunned by drugs instead of being killed by a sneak attack? If he was attacked by a sneak attack, it would be impossible for him not to make a sound.

An Chuxia frowned. It was more likely that there was an inner ghost here. Not only the soldiers on patrol and night watch were stunned, but what was more serious was that other soldiers were also drugged and unconscious.

Relying on her own strength, An Chuxia picked up Lanyue, slid her cat body from the window on the other side of the carriage, bent her waist and rested her heels, and moved towards Si Heng's tent.

Why didn't An Chuxia find her older brother, An Jinchen, who was closer and more worthy of her trust? It goes without saying that Si Heng has the best martial arts here, and only by bringing Lanyue to him can he get the most powerful protection.

As soon as An Chuxia reached Siheng's tent, she was dragged into the tent by a big hand covering her mouth. She was about to free her hand and stab the person behind her with a dagger.

A familiar voice rang in his ear, "It's me!"

"Assassins broke into the camp." An Chuxia said in a low voice.

"I know! You and your highness don't go out here first, I'll go out and check the situation." Si Heng whispered close to her ear.

After Si Heng finished speaking, his body blended into the night like a leopard, and An Chuxia put him on Lanyue, guarding beside her with a dagger in his hand.

After a while, there were sounds of fighting outside.

A few assassins jumped into the carriage that An Chuxia and Lanyue were riding with precision, and it seemed that they had been reminded by the ghost in advance.

When the assassin found that there was no one in the carriage, he paused for a moment, then a cold light flashed in the eyes of several people, and they slashed at the carriage at the same time, and the interior of the comfortably furnished carriage became torn apart in an instant.
