Shao Zhongxi planted a kiss on her forehead.
She closed her eyes, her lips trembling.
After Shao Zhongxi got off the carriage, he mounted his horse and left with Jiang Yue and the others.
Finally, Jiang Yue and the others returned to Locust Village. Emperor Hao came back together with them.
Emperor Hao also told Xue Dafu and the others that he had earned a lot of money outside this time. He still had a lot of things to be sold, but he rented them to others. He could collect rent every year as a source of income. As for the future, he would not go out to do business again. He would also buy a few acres of land to grow his crops so he had something to do during the day. Otherwise, if he did not do anything, he would feel that he was useless.
Xue Dafu and the others were naturally very happy with the news. They felt that no matter how good it was to be outside, it could not compare to being together at home.
Only Shao Youyue’s mood was particularly complicated. She couldn’t help but soften her attitude towards Emperor Hao.
When Emperor Hao saw Shao Youyue like this, he did a mini dance. He knew that it wouldn’t be long before he and Shao Youyue could fully reconcile.
Jiang Yue and the others also told their family that Qi Yin was pregnant and would only be able to come to Locust Village in a few days and that Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin had actually been engaged a long while ago. Of course, he told her secretly. There were many things she didn’t tell them. She said that Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin had some conflicts before, which was why he didn’t tell anyone. The villagers were not surprised at all. They even said that they could tell when they met for the first time. No master and servant would dress like a couple every day. The villagers could also tell. However, since Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin refused to admit it and insisted on claiming to be master and servant, they believed it so that they would not misunderstand and make things awkward for the two of them.
Thanks to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s exhortations, when the secret guards escorted Qi Yin, they paid extra attention along the way.
There were even some who were hidden in the dark to protect them.
This way, not only could they protect Qi Yin from the inside, but they could also coordinate safety plans from the outside. If someone really came to harm Qi Yin, they could immediately make those people turn into chopped liver.
On the 15th of February, many unknown people were waiting for an opportunity to make a move. It was not until the 17th did they made their move.
Coincidentally, they didn’t encounter any inns on this day, so they were camping outside. It was also night, so it was the best time to sneak and attack.
However, the Cloud Guards were already on guard, and each of them had astonishing skills. Even if these people were experts, it would be difficult for them to fight against the Cloud Guards, who greatly outnumbered them.
None of them escaped.
However, most of them could not be captured alive. Most of them were killed in the fight. Only a few were captured alive.
The Cloud Guards interrogated them immediately.
After interrogating them, he sent someone to ride a fast horse back to Locust Village to report to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue about what happened.
The day Jiang Yue and Xue Yan received the news was only two days later. They had just eaten breakfast and were preparing to go to the old house to practice martial arts again.
Seeing the Cloud Guard rushing back, he secretly whispered to them, “Someone said that they were sent by the Nanrong Kingdom to kill Shao Zhongxi. However, they couldn’t find Shao Zhongxi, but they found out Qi Yin was Shao Zhongxi’s sweetheart and even got her portrait. They saw her in a carriage on their way to the capital city and people were protecting her. They didn’t know that more people were protecting her in the dark. They thought it was safe, so they took action to capture her. From there, they wanted to lure Shao Zhongxi out and kill him. This is because the Nanrong Kingdom thinks that the current War God of Da Ling is Shao Zhongxi. Shao Zhongxi has won every battle. Once Shao Zhongxi dies it will be easier for the Nanrong Kingdom to attack Da Ling and occupy the city.”
