When Fan Wuguo and the others caught up, Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief. "What's the situation? Are there any casualties among you?"

"Sister, don't worry, our side has the advantage in numbers. We just suffered some injuries. The wounds have been treated. It's nothing serious." Fan Wuguo said. In fact, he lied. Three people on their side died, and one of them was still injured.

He brought them out, but in comparison, only one of the other party ran away, and all the other dozen people stayed. However, with just this one, the road ahead will not be peaceful.

You know, now that you have made up your mind to kill, you won't give up easily.

"Do you know the origin of the other party?"

"I haven't found anything that can prove my identity, but even if I find it, it's most likely a frame-up. However, there are only a few people on the left, and one of them may be involved. Sister, you don't need to take these things to heart."

No matter who those messes are, they will be sorted out one day.

When it was dark, they stopped at a post station, took a short rest, and then continued on their way. If there were no accidents, they should be able to arrive at the Imperial City tomorrow. No, it should be said that any accident would not prevent them from entering the Imperial City tomorrow.

Before Xiaocao arrived at the inn, the guards in front had already been cleared. They directly used Kaipingwei's token. Not to mention just checking, even if they cleared the place directly and told everyone in the inn to get out, no one dared to comment.

Xiaocao washed up hastily, ate something casually, then handed some things on her body to Fan Wuguo and the others, and fell asleep by herself. Whether she was rushing or having a possible surgery tomorrow, she needed enough strength.

This is the first time Fan Wuguo has seen these medicines in Xiaocao's hand. Not to mention, he is really interested. Moreover, he has the kind of virtue of looking at people through his nostrils and not taking others seriously. Now he has to cut off the medicine.

It would be so embarrassing to kill them, and I would not be merciful.

After resting for less than four hours, we set off again at around 2:00 p.m. Fortunately, it was close to the middle of the month, so the moonlight was not bad, because the road ahead had been cleared once again, including

The possible ambush on both sides is relatively safe, so even if they don't use torches, it won't be a big problem according to their riding skills.

In addition, without torches, even if the ambushes are far away and want to sneak attack with a strong bow, there is no way to identify the target. However, bows and arrows with a general range are within the cleaning range of the guards, so all aspects are considered more carefully.

.

The rest time was sufficient, but Xiaocao didn't know how to ride a horse. It must have been uncomfortable these days with such bumps, and the inner thighs had long been worn out. Even so, Xiaocao didn't say a word.

When it comes to hard work, Xiaocao's self-restraint is not her fault. It's the guards who follow her, who take turns to protect her and lead her away. The remaining ones have to clear the way in front, and it's time to truly rest.

Much less than her, not to mention Hua Yu who follows her all the time. Although she is not an ordinary maid, she is more likely to serve Wei Tingyu than others. Even if she has martial arts skills, she may not be able to do so.

It can be better than Xiaocao's situation.

It was a peaceful night with no unexpected incidents.

Most likely due to insufficient prediction, the other party sent a group of people out, and one of them escaped. Even if he used flying pigeons to deliver the message, it would take time for the second group of people to come out. Besides, Fan Wuguo also sent a message to the Imperial City, directly

Let Kai Pingwei come out to pick up people. Some people may not have the courage to continue to take action under such circumstances. And if they do continue to take action, it means that they have quite a lot of people and they are brave enough, so no matter who they are.

, as long as you are caught, your good days will be completely over.

The subsequent journey turned out to be quite smooth. When we were almost three hundred miles away from the imperial city, more than a hundred people from Kaiping Guard arrived, which made people feel relieved.

Then there is a tea shop almost two hundred miles away from Chaihuang City. It is just a good time to take a rest. It is not just people, but more importantly, horses. Even if there are two horses taking turns to ride, there is still one who can bear it.

Limit. There are also stations along the way where you can change horses, but they use a lot of horses, and the number of stations is far from enough. This prevents the horses from running out, and they cannot run with all their strength. It is about 120 miles in an hour, so this is the remaining

The journey down can be completed in one go, taking just over an hour.

The leader of the Kaiping Guards was their commander. Xiaocao took this opportunity to ask about Emperor Xuanren's condition. Obviously, the commander did not know that Emperor Xuanren's palace was sealed. There was not much information about his condition.

Personal knowledge.

In this way, Xiaocao didn't ask any more questions. If he was sure that the person was still alive, there was still hope.

The rest time was only about a quarter of an hour, and they continued to set off with Xiaocao around them. However, when they were helping Xiaocao mount his horse, something unexpected happened. A guard who was originally following the commander suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and fiercely

Throwing himself at the grass...

"Ma'am, be careful——"

"careful--"

Fan Wuguo's pupils suddenly shrank, and while pulling Xiaocao, he directly blocked it with his body. The dagger stabbed his arm. Then, the guard was immediately slashed by the commander who was a step behind, and was immediately taken down.

.

Xiaocao's body hit the horse, just at the edge of the saddle. Regardless of the pain, she turned around and said, "Young Master..."

Xiaocao immediately checked Fan Wuguo's wound. Everyone could see that it was poisonous. Although the blood would not seal his throat, the toxicity was not weak. If the poison could not be detoxified as soon as possible, his life would be in danger within a few hours.

.

Xiaocao dealt with it as quickly as possible, directly using a silver needle to force out the poison. After a while, it barely spread, and then cleaned it because the wound was scratched and pulled diagonally. It was deep and long and had to be sutured seven times.

Eight needles.

While bandaging him, Xiaocao said, "There may still be some toxins left, and you will need to take medicine after you go back. But in this situation, it is not suitable to continue riding a fast horse. Young Master, please slow down..."

"Sister," Fan Wuguo interrupted her, "If something like this happened, how could I hand you over to someone else to escort you back?" He glanced sideways coldly. He was both the guard and the commander, "Just click.

The residue won’t be fatal, right? That’s okay.”

Xiaocao wanted to say something else, but when she saw Fan Wuguo's stubborn eyes, she chose to keep her mouth shut.

Next to him, the Kaipingwei commander's face was almost black. There was something wrong with the people around him. He had nothing to do with the assassination itself, and he could not escape his responsibility. At this time, assassinating the fourth girl Wenren was tantamount to the same thing.

If he conspired against him, he would probably not just be dismissed from his post and investigated. Thinking of this, he was ready to scratch his life. However, he needed to be kept for questioning.

After setting off again, the people from Kaipingwei were ordered by Fan Wuguo to go to the front. Who could guarantee that there would be no problem among the remaining people? They had been relaxed for a while just now, and the people behind the scenes almost succeeded.

Not only the commander of Kaiping Guards was angry, but other Kaiping Guards were also angry. Of course, there were even more worries and heartaches. For example, the person who had a relatively good relationship with the assassin was heartbroken as to how he could do such a thing.

I was also worried that I would be implicated.

However, the person died on the way. Because he was in a hurry, he planned to go back and try again.

Xiaocao spent some time and said, "I was poisoned. I guess I ate the poison when I was in the tea shop."

The bumpy road speeds up blood circulation, which naturally speeds up death.

I think so. No matter whether he succeeds or not in assassinating Xiaocao at this time, he will definitely have no way to survive. To avoid being tortured, he simply takes poison in advance, which naturally makes people's faces even more ugly.

Dead people are not worth wasting time. For the rest of the journey, throw off the whip and run with all your strength.

From a distance, you can see the majestic walls of the imperial city. When you reach this place, no one dares to take action again. You must believe that if you take action here, even if she hears that Renxuan is dead, then before Emperor Xuanren dies,

, can also make this imperial city bleed into a river of blood first.

"Kaipingwei is doing business, quickly avoid——"

At this time, the person who opened the way in front shouted loudly. Starting from the city gate, everyone quickly got out of the way. You must know that if you are hit at this time, even if you die, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

From the city gate, we went straight to the palace.

Along the way, many people stopped and asked, "What happened?"

"Why is Kaipingwei still bringing a woman with him?"

When he mounted his horse before, it was Fan Wuguo who took Xiaocao with him. Therefore, even when the guards tried to stop him at the entrance of the palace, Fan Wuguo angrily yelled, "Get out of here." He then rode his horse straight to Emperor Xuanren's palace.

At this moment, outside Emperor Xuanren's palace, all the ministers and princes were lined up, and the number of the imperial army was several times greater.

Behind, the sound of horse hooves was so obvious that everyone couldn't help but look back.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of the way!" This situation was not good at first glance. Fan Wuguo was afraid that it was too late, and his eyes were red. No matter who was in front of him at this moment, he could directly hit him.

past.

Arriving in front of the palace, Fan Wuguo tightened the reins. Because the speed was too fast, the horse's front hooves flew up, accompanied by a neighing sound.

Before the horse could land safely, Fan Wuguo slid down with Xiaocao, and without saying a word, he went straight into the palace...

Emperor Xuanren's current condition is indeed not very good. He has a high fever and is even less conscious. The air pressure in the palace is low, and everyone is in a heavy mood. Some of them are sitting nearby, watching as they are drafting an edict.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Wenren is back, Miss Wenren is back..." The little eunuch rushed in almost rolling.

The originally heavy atmosphere was relieved, and the Queen Mother was even more overjoyed, "Hurry, hurry..."

Xiaocao didn't care about her image at all and ran in as fast as she could, throwing all etiquette aside.

Seeing Emperor Xuanren's condition, his expression changed slightly. He originally had silver needles on his body, and Xiaocao inserted a few more needles. It was a desperate act. "Where's the pulse report? Bring it here." At this time, he didn't ask about the situation slowly.

.

Doctor Lin knew his daughter's needs best. He came over in a hurry, and without any need for a pulse, he quickly and concisely explained Emperor Xuanren's situation to her without any nonsense.

After hearing this, Xiaocao said, "Get ready for surgery."

"Everything is ready. Everything you may need has been brought into the palace and is waiting for you."

"Get some water, I need to wash up."

At this time, no one asked her what else she wanted to do, and they all did it as quickly as possible.

Xiaocao simply washed up, changed her clothes, wrapped up her hair, and put on "surgical clothes." Before the flower language came, Divine Doctor Lin recommended himself as her assistant. Although Xiaocao had such a tool, he had never used it formally.

, but in the past few months, I have become familiar with what model it is. If I take it out quickly and accurately, I will never make a mistake.

While Xiaocao was preparing, Fan Wuguo was telling the people in the palace what happened on the road. You can imagine how angry the Queen Mother and Princess Fukang were. Investigation, must be carried out strictly.

Emperor Xuanren did not lose consciousness completely, but his reaction was a little slow. In comparison, he was quite calm.

On the other hand, several ministers in the cabinet immediately retreated a little further away, looking at their noses and noses, but their hearts were pounding.

The temporary operating room was prepared in the Nuan Pavilion at the back. When Xiaocao came in, he had to have Emperor Xuanren sent there.

Emperor Xuanren suddenly took Xiaocao's hand and said, "Girl, I am blessed with great fortune and will not die, right?"
