Chapter 198 The Prince Was Captured!

"Your Majesty!"

Mr. Wen cried out loudly.

Seeing clearly the situation inside the carriage, he opened his eyes wide in shock.

"Your Majesty...where is your Majesty?" Mr. Li looked expressionless, looking at the carriage without anyone except him and Mr. Wen, confused: "Your Majesty was captured by thieves?"

Master Wen endured the pain from the wound on his back and looked at the long sword that had penetrated the carriage. It was stuck there motionless. The person who had stabbed him was probably dead. Hearing the fighting outside, the sound of killings shaking the sky, and the screams piercing the sky, he carefully opened the curtain, only to find that the white mist had dispersed, and there was a melee.

The men in black who carried out the assassination watched as an elite force appeared from nowhere and surrounded them, crushing them and harvesting them.

The blood mist that filled the air seemed to cover Mr. Wen's face. There was a thick smell of blood in his nose, and there was a spasm in his stomach. He almost felt sick.

Holding back, he shouted: "The regent is missing and was captured by thieves!"

Upon hearing this, the regent's elite soldiers immediately pursued him.

Luo Cheng penetrated the assassin's chest with his sword and withdrew the sword. The last man in black fell to the ground, blood dripping from the tip of Luo Cheng's sword. He picked up the token on the assassin's waist and caught it with his hand, his eyes murderous. stern.

"Prince!"

Mr. Wen was shocked: "Tai...Prince?"

Luo Cheng approached the carriage and saw the symbols on the wall. He threw the token in through the window. Mr. Wen caught it in a hurry and touched the blood on his hand. His hand trembled uncontrollably. He suppressed the dizziness and recognized it. I looked at the token and it was indeed the prince's.

"Vice General Luo, what should we do if the prince has captured the prince? Should Lord Li and I continue the trip to Xiliang, or should we return to the court to discuss it separately?" Lord Wen managed to maintain his composure.

Luo Chengdao: "Mr. Wen, you are injured. Please follow Mr. Li back to the capital first. There is no rush for the trip to Xiliang. Safety is the most important thing. There is a group of people chasing the prince in the direction of the capital. I will lead people all the way to Xiliang to have a look. Did the assassin kidnap the prince and go here? If he is met by me, he will go straight to Xiliang. If he is not met, I will give the congratulatory gift to the Queen of Xiliang to apologize to her. "

Mr. Wen hesitated and looked through the carriage window at the dead bodies lying on the ground. Several horses were blown apart beyond recognition, and the blood dyed the soil red.

Luo Cheng looked at the narrow mountain road ahead and said with a solemn expression, "Maybe there are mines ahead."

"Go back to the capital." Mr. Li was still frightened and said angrily: "The prince killed the regent and the court official. This matter must be reported to the court!"

Mr. Wen had no objection.

Luo Cheng arranged for all the guards to escort Mr. Wen and Mr. Li back to the capital. An elite team from the Regent's Palace escorted He Li and followed Luo Cheng, clearing the mines ahead and heading west.

——

Su Wan waited until sunset.

The setting sun dyed the vast clouds red.

Su Wan looked at the gorgeous red, and her heart felt heavy. The uneasiness doubled. She paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly opened the door anxiously and looked at Mo Yuan who was guarding the door.

"Can you go and respond?" Su Wan wanted to see it in person, but was afraid of being delayed: "I can guarantee my own safety."

Mo Yuan was unmoved and said: "My duty is to protect you."

Su Wan looked coldly: "If you don't want me to respond personally, just follow my orders."

Mo Yuan frowned.

Su Wan gave him a cold look, indicating that what she said was true. She came out of the room and walked directly to the door.

Mo Yuan was the first to hold the door, and with a sullen face, he compromised and said, "Come on down."

Su Wan stepped aside.

When Mo Yuan opened the door, the sound of horse hooves came suddenly, several black shadows rushed towards him, and Mo Yuan pulled out his knife.

"Master Mo, the prince is waiting in front and ordered us to come and respond." The leader of the men in black gave the code and took out his token: "The prince said that only Qingyuan and you will escort the young lady there, and the others will split up."

Mo Yuan took a look at the token to confirm that it was correct, then looked into the courtyard to see Su Wan hurriedly carrying a baggage.

"Let's go." Su Wan and Qing Yuan got into a carriage and left.

I don’t know how much time passed before the carriage stopped and a man got up.

"Father!" Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming!

The regent smiled and sat across from her: "Are you in a hurry?"

"This battle worries me." Su Wan smiled. Suddenly, her nose wrinkled and she smelled a faint smell of blood, "Are you injured?"

"No injuries." The regent sighed helplessly and raised his hand to smell it: "I changed my clothes, does this smell still exist?"

Su Wan looked solemn and said, "Were you assassinated?"

"It doesn't matter." The regent raised his hand and rubbed Su Wan's head: "I frightened you."

This matter was part of his plan. The prince wanted to take action against him. This was the best opportunity. The prince would not miss the opportunity.

Therefore, if he sent Su Wan away early, uncontrollable accidents would occur and Su Wan would be put in danger.

He used himself as bait and specially appointed two court ministers as envoys to go with him to the Western Liang Kingdom, in order to serve as "witnesses" and testify against the prince to assassinate him.

In addition to the people who were accompanying him on the surface, he arranged for an elite team to hide in the dark, and used a trick of praying mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.

But after hearing Luo Cheng say that the prince's armory was destroyed and all the firearms in it were removed, he suspected that the prince would lay mines on the road. Sure enough, the prince buried mines in a narrow mountain pass, intending to blow him up.

Even if it didn't kill him, when the thunder exploded, the white mist billowed, and the prince's ambush took the opportunity to assassinate him. His elite soldiers surrounded him from behind and killed the prince's men.

He changed his mind temporarily, hid in the white fog and left the carriage in advance, and took the waterway to meet Su Wan.

Before leaving Beijing, he made several plans and left symbols on the carriage, so Luo Cheng would know that he was safe.

At that time, Luo Cheng would spread the news that he was captured by the prince's men, and the court would send people to search for his whereabouts in a big way. Some evil spirits who wanted to kill him would not dare to act easily, and he and Su Wan would be able to have a quieter journey.

"You shouldn't send me away. I'm not as weak as you think." Su Wan was worried, so she checked him up and down and made sure he was not injured. She felt relieved: "I can protect you too."

The Regent laughed a few times, the frost in his eyes melted away, and he said kindly: "Please understand my feelings as a father for the first time. Even if I am 90% sure, I dare not take the 10% risk. I want to make sure you are safe."

Su Wan felt warm in her heart, and took out the scented beads from her bag and put them on the Regent's wrist: "This can get rid of the smell." Seeing that the Regent looked a little pale, she quickly packed up the carriage: "You take a nap first."

The Regent was indeed tired, and he leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Su Wan covered him with a thin blanket, hoping that the journey would be smooth and there would be no more assassins.
