Chapter 217 Tell them

The envoy team suddenly divided into two teams. It was the eldest princess who was guarding the regent.

He is the one performing the mission this time. If he fails to succeed, not only will he have no place beside the regent, but his life will also be at risk!
General Liu's eyes were full of cruelty, and he sneered, "We will also be divided into two teams!"

Tisang's eyes flashed when he lowered his head, "But according to General Liu's orders, when will we take action?"

"Tomorrow Yinshi!" Every day before dawn, when people's defenses are at their weakest!
After saying that, General Liu put on his bamboo hat, opened the curtain of the carriage, jumped directly from the carriage onto the empty horse next to him, and soon disappeared into Beidi Shichen's team.

In the afternoon, He Yutian rushed to Qin Shuhuang's carriage and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, traces of strangers were found behind the convoy."

The carriage responded with two coughs.

He Yutian frowned upon hearing this. The voice did not sound like His Highness's, but more like a voice that he had always cared about.

Just when he was about to ask, He Yutian pursed his lips again and changed his words, "Your Highness, I have something important to report. Please allow me to get on the carriage."

Ruihe and Shilan in the carriage looked at each other. Shilan whispered to Ruihe: "Ruihe, what should I do? Even if they don't know today, they won't be able to hide it in two days."

Ruihe gritted his teeth and remembered what Qin Shuhuang said in his letter. If you can't hide it, you can tell Song Yiqiu and He Yutian first. They are the captains of the eldest princess's personal guard. They are both loyal. If you have anything, you can tell them first. They discuss it before making a decision.

"Tell them." Ruihe said.

Shi Lan agrees.

In the past two days, the two of them have kept this secret tightly, worried about being exposed, and nervous. If two more people know about it, they can share it with them.

Ruihe's voice came from the carriage, "Captain He, His Highness wants you to come in."

He Yutian immediately raised his fist respectfully toward the carriage, "Yes!"

When He Yutian boarded the carriage, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw Ruihe wearing Qin Shuhuang's clothes in the carriage and Shilan sitting next to him.

It took him a moment to find his voice, "Your Majesty...where is Your Majesty?"

Ruihe twitched his lips and said, "His Highness has something to do, so he took Commander Xuan Cang and left the team temporarily."

He Yutian swallowed hard. No wonder the commander suddenly disappeared in the past two days. He and Song Yiqiu thought that the commander was sent to do something by His Highness, so he was not in the team. Who would have thought that His Highness also left with him!
"Your Highness was not in the team early yesterday morning?"

Thinking that His Highness had been wearing a curtain hat and coughing from time to time since yesterday, He Yutian had already made assumptions.

He Yutian was told everything, and there was no need to hide it anymore. Ruihe Shilan nodded.

Shi Landao: "We only found out after the fact."

He Yutian frowned, "Since His Highness must have had His Majesty's intention of quietly leaving the team, we must try to delay it for His Highness. My men just discovered that our team was being followed, and I'm afraid it was someone sent by the Regent. There are no inns along the way. We are afraid that we will have to sleep in the open tonight. I will go back to Brother Song later to discuss how to strengthen the patrol tonight. If there is an attack tonight, we will do this..."

He Yutian is the youngest of the four guards captains, but he is the most alert among them.

Coupled with the experience of following Qin Shuhuang back to the eldest princess's mansion and the flood, Qin Shuhuang's personal guards are more useful than before.

Ruihe Shilan felt that He Yutian's method was very useful and they all agreed.

"Then let's just say it. You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll discuss it with Brother Song later. Then you can just look at the gestures of the two of us. Remember what I said."

Ruihe Shilan nodded.Before getting off the carriage, He Yutian couldn't help but glance at Shilan and asked in a low voice: "Sister Shilan, you just coughed, but you are infected with the wind and cold? This is still far from Beidi. You should pay attention to your body. There is one thing." You need to take medicine if you have a cough, don’t put it off.”

Shilan didn't expect that He Yutian would suddenly say such a thing to her. She was slightly startled and then smiled at He Yutian, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was imitating His Highness when I coughed just now."

He Yutian suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but the weather gets colder as we go north, so the two sisters should keep warm."

Shilan asked curiously: "Captain He, can you tell the sound of a cough?"

Seeing Shilan looking over with her big eyes, He Yutian couldn't help but his cheeks turned red. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Not everyone can tell the difference. Only people who have been in contact with it a lot can tell the difference."

In fact, He Yutian's ears are not that sharp.

There was not much difference between other women's voices passing through his ears. He was just very sensitive to Shilan's voice. Whether it was talking or coughing, he could recognize it immediately.

Shilan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that people who practiced martial arts had very sensitive senses and could even distinguish coughs. If this was the case, what she and Ruihe had done before was to cover their ears and steal the bell.

He Yutian left, and Ruihe suddenly turned Shilan with his arm, "Shilan, why do I think Captain He is interested in you?"

Shilan rolled her eyes at Ruihe, "My good sister, Captain He is one year younger than me! We watched him grow up, he is my younger brother in my eyes!"

Ruihe didn't feel so in his heart. He Yutian obviously felt different about Shilan. Besides, the two were only one year apart. In Dawu, a three-year age difference between a man and a woman was considered a suitable marriage.

He Yutian is actually a good choice for Shilan.

However, judging from the current situation they are in, talking about these is a bit far away. She will look at the situation from the sidelines. If Shilan is also interested in Captain He, and if they can return to the eldest princess's mansion safely, she will mention this to His Highness. thing.

After dark at night, according to the advice of the accompanying guide, a group of people chose a leeward mountain col to camp.

After the tent was set up, Ruihe pretended to be "Qin Shuhuang" and was invited to the tent.

The cook started cooking, and after dinner, "Qin Shuhuang" rested in the tent.

He Yutian and Song Yiqiu secretly negotiated and divided the guards into three teams. One team rested, and the other two teams patrolled and guarded. They worked three shifts a night, and each team rested for an hour and a half.

He Yutian and Song Yiqiu, one was on duty for the first half of the night and the other was on duty for the second half of the night.

The first half of the night passed peacefully, and soon it was the second half of the night.

The area around this road was empty, and it became even quieter after midnight because additional patrols and vigils were deployed, and each group of personnel had rested, so they were in good spirits.

Until Yinshi, those who followed in the dark didn't find a chance to make a move.

The masked man in black in the dark said, "Chief, do you want to come?"

The man next to him, who was called the leader, frowned and shook his head, "We can't get over this situation now. They have strengthened their defense at night and will definitely relax it during the day. This road is surrounded by vast spaces and there are few villages. Then we might as well switch to a daytime raid."

"Yes! Chief!"

Although Ruihe Shilan's team was not raided for the time being, Liu Renren's team of envoys was attacked.
