Chapter 388 Ambush
The accident happened so suddenly that no one could react.Fortunately, Song Qinghuan and Jun Xi were agile, quickly calmed down, stabilized their figures, and held Xiao Lingyi's body from left to right, which was about to fly out.

But Jun Wan was not so lucky.

Accompanied by a horse's long neigh, her body was thrown violently, and her smooth forehead hit the car doorpost. There was only a loud "bang", and she fell to the ground with her dress in a mess.

Song Qinghuan couldn't care less to look at her, and cast sharp eyes outside the carriage, "Xuan Ying, what's the matter?"

"Young Madam, there is an ambush, please be careful!"

As soon as Xuanying finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from outside the car, and the next moment, the sound of arrows piercing through the air reached Song Qinghuan's ears.

not good!

Her expression changed, she quickly turned around and rushed towards Xiao Lingyi, protecting her under her body.

A sharp arrow flew past her head.

It was too late to rejoice, more arrows broke through the wall, intertwining an impenetrable killing intent in the narrow compartment.

Song Qinghuan's face became even more ugly, knowing that they might have been ambushed.and--

His eyes fell on the arrow that fell in the carriage, and the arrow was glowing with a cold light.These arrows are not ordinary, but forged from fine iron, so they can penetrate the iron birch wood car wall.

"Young Madam, are you all right?" Xuanying's anxious voice came to her ears, and the sound of swords and swords clashing became more and more clear.

"We're fine, what's going on outside?" Song Qinghuan didn't dare to look up, and tightly protected Xiao Lingyi.

"A dozen or so archers are lying in ambush in the grass, and the hidden guards have already gone to deal with them. Please don't come out, Young Madam and Empress." Xuanying said, and the next moment, there was the sound of a sword piercing through flesh and blood.

"Huan'er, I'm fine." Xiao Lingyi took a deep breath, and gently squeezed her arm, signaling that she could let go of herself first.

Song Qinghuan moved away from her, pulled her to lie on the bench, and motioned her not to look up.

"Mother, don't worry, Xuanying and Mubai are strong in martial arts, and the hidden guards brought here today are all first-class masters, so nothing will happen." Although Song Qinghuan had no confidence in his heart, he didn't reveal anything on the surface, Shen sound of relief.

Although Xiao Lingyi has no martial arts, her life has been full of ups and downs. What kind of big scenes haven't she seen?Although flustered for a moment, he quickly calmed down, bit his thin lips tightly, and nodded to her.

Jun Xi was brought up as a prince since he was a child, and he quickly came back to his senses. Seeing that Song Qinghuan and Xiao Lingyi were safe, he was relieved, his eyes were serious, and he watched the movement outside the car vigilantly.

Only Jun Wan sat down by the car door with a dull face, his face was pale, his eyes were out of focus, and he was obviously frightened.

Xiao Lingyi glanced at her, couldn't bear it, and waved to her, "Yun He, bow your head!"

Jun Wan's body trembled, and she suddenly came back to her senses, with a bit of fear on her face.

She glanced at Song Qinghuan and Xiao Lingyi who were together, bit her thin lips, and crawled to their side with her head down, looking at Xiao Lingyi with tears in her eyes, "I'm afraid, Empress Dowager." But there was a hint of madness in her eyes flashed.

No matter what, she will stick close to them, even if she dies, she will die together!

Before the words were finished, an arrow shot through the wall of the car with a sound of "咻", and nailed to the wall of the opposite car with a sound of "Zheng". Coincidentally, it passed Jun Wan's shoulder.

Jun Wan's face turned pale with fright, she didn't dare to move, the blood flowed backwards all over her body, and her limbs were icy cold.

Although she usually has a lot of scheming, but after all, she has never seen a real sword and gun scene. Just now, if she deviates by an inch, the arrow will be inserted into her arm. Thinking about it now, I feel terrified.

Song Qinghuan had no time to talk to her, and only paid close attention to the movement around her.Fortunately, after the arrow shot just now, the number of arrows shooting into the carriage from outside dropped sharply, and the sound of fighting also gradually died down.

"Xuanying?" Song Qinghuan took a deep breath and called out with a raised voice.

"Young Madam, the archers have been completely wiped out by the hidden guards. Please young Madam, Empress Dowager and the two eldest emperors wait in the car for a while, and come out after the subordinates confirm that everything is safe."

Song Qinghuan responded without saying a word, but held Xiao Lingyi's hand in relief, signaling her not to worry too much.

Xiao Lingyi smiled back, her face was quite calm.

Jun Wan fell to the ground, still in a daze, unable to regain consciousness, her heart was beating fast.After a while, she raised her eyes in a daze, and looked at Song Qinghuan with an unclear expression—she was whispering something to Xiao Lingyi and Jun Xi, and she didn't look this way.

Sunshine came in from the car window, she lowered her head slightly, her skin was delicate and white, her small jaw line was exquisite, and there was a touch of chic style between her eyebrows and eyes. Because of the violent movements just now, a few strands of hair fell down her cheeks, which set off her A small face is a big slap.

Even if Jun Wan didn't want to grow others' ambitions, she had to admit at this moment that Song Qinghuan was very beautiful, and, unlike the concubines and concubines she had seen in the harem who were fat and thin, she had a very spiritual beauty.

Just one glance can make people lose their minds.

But Junwan knew very well in his heart that Song Qinghuan's beauty was not the reason why Shen Chuhan loved her like his life.

For example, now, even though she has just experienced such a thrilling assassination, her expression is still calm.This bearing alone is far above ordinary women.

Gradually regaining consciousness, strong shame and jealousy flashed in Jun Wan's eyes.

At this moment, she deeply felt the gap between herself and Song Qinghuan.Even if he wasn't Shen Chuhan's younger sister, with Song Qinghuan around, he would definitely not look at him more.

There are mixed feelings in my heart, but the jealousy and hatred are burning more and more intensely.

The more perfect Song Qinghuan is, the more she wants to destroy her.What you can't have, others can't have.

It's just that now is obviously not the right time.

She had to wait quietly, waiting for the right moment.She has been low and low for so many years, and she doesn't care about enduring it for a while longer.

Take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down.

"Young Madam." At this moment, Xuan Ying's voice came from outside the car.

"How is it?" Song Qinghuan straightened up slightly and looked out of the car.

"It has been cleaned up, and two people are left alive."

"I'll come out and take a look." Song Qinghuan said these words, comforted Xiao Lingyi in a low voice, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, but Jun Xi held her hand.

Song Qinghuan looked back puzzled.

"I'll do it." Jun Xi smiled lightly, but his eyes were dark.Song Qinghuan is pregnant now, no matter what, she shouldn't be the one who rushed ahead.

Understanding Jun Xi's concerns, Song Qinghuan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and nodded without insisting.

Jun Xi raised the curtain and got out of the carriage, followed by Song Qinghuan.

When the two went out, the curtain fell, and only Xiao Lingyi and Jun Wan were left in the car, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

Xiao Lingyi sat on the bench in the carriage, her eyelashes drooping slightly, as if she was deep in thought.

Jun Wan clutched the corner of her clothes, looked at Xiao Lingyi with heavy eyes, thought for a moment, and finally opened her mouth, but with a look of shock but pretending to be calm, "The Empress Dowager, are you okay?"

Xiao Lingyi looked at her, her eyes were deep, she couldn't see clearly, she looked at her for a moment, and then she opened her lips lightly, "I'm fine, how about you?"

Hearing the indifference in Xiao Lingyi's words, Jun Wan's face stiffened a bit, and she still murmured, "I'm fine." After a pause, as if wanting to break the stiff atmosphere in the carriage, she twitched the corners of her lips and said, " It’s really too dangerous just now, it’s good that the empress is fine.” As he said, he lowered his head in self-blame, “It would be great if Jun Wan had martial arts, so that I can protect the empress.”

Xiao Lingyi didn't make a sound, but the expression in his eyes was cold.

Anyone can say what's going on in this scene, but who knows if she really thinks so in her heart?She will never forget that it was Song Qinghuan and Jun Xi who held her back at the moment when she was on the brink of death, and it was Song Qinghuan who desperately protected her, without even the slightest hesitation.

"As long as Yunhe protects himself." Xiao Lingyi said lightly, with a cool expression.

Hearing the obvious perfunctory in Xiao Lingyi's words, Jun Wan bit her lips resentfully, knowing that it's not appropriate to say more now, she murmured in response, and lowered her head, not daring to say more.

the other compartment.

Song Qinghuan and Jun Xi got out of the carriage, Mu Bai and Xuan Ying looked back and clasped their fists in a salute, "Young Madam, Chang Di Ji, are you all right?"

Song Qinghuan shook his head.

Mu Bai was worried, and asked again, "Where are the Empress Dowager, Yun and Chang Di Ji?"

"They're fine, you don't have to worry." Song Qinghuan quickly responded, looking around heavily, his face suddenly darkened, "Who are these people?"

Around the carriage and in the grass, a dozen black-clothed men fell in all directions, and many arrows, blood, and corpses fell to the ground, making a mess.

Mu Bai frowned slightly, "The hidden guards are searching the corpses, but so far, they don't have anything to prove their identity, it seems... they are dead men."

Dead man?

Song Qinghuan also frowned, her hands tightly wrapped in her sleeves.If it is a dead soldier, it is normal to leave no traces.

"Didn't you say there were two survivors?" She asked again.

"They wouldn't say anything and tried to kill themselves."

Song Qinghuan's expression turned cold, "Tell the hidden guards to take them back for strict interrogation!" Even though they were dead soldiers, with the skills of the hidden guards under Xuanying's men, they might be able to pry their mouths open and ask something.

Looking down, in front of the carriage, the two horses pulling the carriage had already been hit by arrows and fell to the ground dead.

She jumped out of the cart, drew an arrow from her horse, and stared straight at the sharp arrow in front of her eyes.

"Forged from refined iron." She held the arrow slightly tighter, her eyes swept over Mu Bai and Xuan Ying's faces, "No matter who these people are, they clearly came prepared."

Mu Bai and Xuan Ying nodded when they heard the words, their faces were also tense.

Fortunately, Song Qinghuan and the others were not injured, otherwise, they would be to blame for their death.

"Where are Liuyue and Shenxing?" Song Qinghuan turned around and looked back. The carriage behind them was parked in the middle of the road, and there were fewer corpses and falling arrows around. Obviously, these men in black were aiming at them come.

And most likely, it came for me.

Song Qinghuan's face turned cold, thinking of something.

"They are fine, the subordinate asked Yinwei to tell them to stay in the carriage and not come out." Mu Bai said.

"Go and tell them it's okay, don't make them worry for nothing." Song Qinghuan looked at Xuanying and ordered.Xuan Ying said yes, and walked towards the carriage behind.

At this time, the hidden guard who went to search the body came back, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to find anything.

Sure enough, they searched all the men in black, but there was nothing that could prove their identity.

Mu Bai ordered a few people, and asked them to take the two survivors back to Beijing for strict interrogation, and then send more people to come to support them.

Yinwei should be, go down and make arrangements soon.

Mu Bai looked at Song Qinghuan, "Young Madam, now we only have the two horses at the back, how do you arrange them?"

Song Qinghuan frowned and remained silent in thought.

Although their carriage was big, there were five people sitting in the carriage at the back, Liuyue Chenxing, Lan Xiyunge, and Junwan's maid Zisu. With all these people added up, their carriage would definitely not fit.

Now that it was getting late, they were stuck on the mountainside, unable to get up and down, and the situation was really embarrassing.In addition, they were traveling in modest clothes, and they didn't bring many hidden guards. They also sent a few people to escort the man in black back to Beijing. No matter who stayed here, the later it was, the more dangerous it would be.

"A Huan, why don't you let Mu Bai Xuanying escort you and your mother back first, and Yun He and I wait here first?" Seeing Song Qinghuan's embarrassment, Jun Xi took the initiative to speak.

She had a faint suspicion in her heart that today's incident might have something to do with the queen who has been missing.

Coincidentally, Song Qinghuan also had the same idea.

"Sister-in-law, don't you think that today's matter has something to do with the queen?" She said heavily.

The Xue family has controlled the government for so many years, so there must be a group of dead soldiers of their own.Queen Xue Ying is the most important card of the Xue family, it is impossible to have no power in her hand.Although the Xue family was ransacked and beheaded, the queen escaped early, and the power in her hands may not necessarily be wiped out.

If today's group of men in black were really instigated by her, then if she missed a move, she would definitely not let it go.

If she is really the mastermind behind what happened today, then her goal is most likely for Song Qinghuan and Xiao Lingyi.Under such circumstances, it is important to protect Song Qinghuan and Xue Lingyi to return to Beijing first.

Jun Xi knew that both Shen Xing and Liu Yue had martial arts, so compared to her and Jun Wan, it was obviously more appropriate for Shen Xing and Liu Yue to follow them.

Song Qinghuan understood her considerations, but she was somewhat worried about letting Junxi stay here.But if only Junwan was left, she would definitely not agree.

Before he could speak in the future, an exasperated voice came from behind, "I don't agree!"
