Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 273: Assassination (1)

"It's precisely because the officials in other places thought that the emperor had already returned to the capital, and they were negligent to take precautions, so they were able to hit him in one fell swoop." Yan Chi rode forward with her, teasing: "And isn't this in your favor? I remember someone wishing he could play for a few more days before returning to Beijing."

Xiao Yao giggled, as a default.

Walking to a mountainside, there is a teahouse by the road, a yellow canvas with tea characters printed on it, a few simple stools are placed randomly, a large pot is placed on the stove, and the water vapor is boiling.

A peasant woman with a flower headscarf came forward to greet them.

A guard tried the tea one by one with silver needles, and after confirming that there was no problem, everyone drank a few sips of rough tea, took a short rest, and prepared to rush to the next town to stay.

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Luoxuan casually asked the woman, "Auntie, how far is it to Lijia Town ahead?"

"Grandpa, if you want to rush to Lijia Town, you can't take this road. The road in front of the mountain was washed away by heavy rain and mudslides a few days ago. Those who go to Lijia Town have to bypass the mountain over there and go through it. You can only pass through the woods. It will take a long way, and you have to go to the town before dark, so you have to start early."

Feng Luoxuan immediately sent guards to check ahead, and sure enough the road was flooded.

Xiao Yao said: "It's getting late, I don't want to spend the night in the wild mountains, let's go quickly." There are many mosquitoes in the wild, but she has the most mosquito-provoking physique, so she doesn't want to sleep in the wild.

In the past, for the sake of caution, Feng Luoxuan usually ordered people to come to the front in advance to find out if there was anything suspicious before moving on.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the journey was still far away, not to mention the smooth journey along the way, he let his guard down for a while.

A group of people went straight on the road, and the horses and carts drove them through the green hillside and into a forest.

The tall and dense trees cover the sky and block out the sun, filtering out most of the skylight and casting only the fine evening light between the branches and leaves.

When the breeze from the suburbs came here, it also became eerie and weird, blowing the leaves and echoing strangely.

The woods were very large, and they walked for a while.

The horse of the guard in front suddenly fell to the ground without a sound, twitched a few times, foamed at the mouth and died.

The atmosphere was desolate, and the grass and trees were silent without wind.
