"So how did you know that Liwei and his friends wanted to set you up? " (Yanalya)
In the car, ziyan and yaoyao returned to discuss the incident at the money's residence. From this, yaoyao knew that the young lady had already realized their evil intentions from the very beginning.
" Wasn't from the beginning of his arrival, he kept trying to anger me. Moreover, upon entering the party hall. I felt a cold look at him. It is likely that he also deliberately came to the park and when he saw that I was only with you. So he used that opportunity to trap me. "
"Then why can you be sure, there is someone else behind ang liwei? he may have done it of his own volition. "
"That's because... " Ziyan recalled the incident earlier. As he tried to ask ang liwei about his motive of trapping ziyan. Liwei's expression changed and he, who was originally about to speak, immediately shut his mouth tightly. The change was realized ziyan, he was sure that the person who ordered him to be at the party as well. But who?
Suddenly.... Bbrakk! ! !
A jolt made Ziyan regain consciousness. The blow was strong enough to almost make Ziyan fall. 'What's going on? ' Ziyan's train stopped.
"Sorry lady, the wheels of the train fell into the hole. Are you okay? " (circumcision)
Ziyan immediately got off the carriage to see the situation. It was true that one of his front wheels went into a hole. If you look at the diameter and depth, the coachman should be able to see it.
"Didn't you just see this hole? " (miyan)
"No miss. Maybe because it was covered in twigs and leaves, so I didn't notice it. "
The coachman's answer made Ziyan aware, that it seemed like this hole was a trap that was deliberately prepared.
"It looks like today was your unlucky day. " Snowy whispered to ziyan.
"I knew. "
Since there were only four people there so only the coachman and xiaoqi pushed the carriage as far as ziyan and yaoyao waited by the side. Ziyan asked his parents to walk first, which was why they were left alone.
Soon the horse approached. Ziyan turned her gaze. He knew sooner or later the bandits would come. And when he looked towards the source of the voice, he was very surprised.
" Sima yan's.... " Ziyan involuntarily muttered to mention the name of the person riding the front horse.
There are four horses. Sima yan, fengxiao, yelu and jiangwu.
" What what? " Sima yan rushed down from the carriage and approached ziyan.
"Greetings crown prince. " Ziyan bowed slightly in respect.
"You don't always have to salute when we meet. I freed you from that. " (Sima yan)
" I'm sorry, Your Majesty. But I don't think it's appropriate. After all, you are the crown prince of this country. "
Sima yan could not argue if it was about his status as crown prince. He knew, ziyan was only using her status as an excuse to keep her distance. Although he tried to get close to the girl, only to speak a word or two. Yet the girl had always firmly made a line between them. As if to clarify the limits of both. Sima yan's heart trembled knowing that fact. He knew that he had no destiny with this girl.But unfortunately, when Sima yan realized it, he was already in a state where he could not stay away.
" All right, I give up. " Sima yan did not want to continue to impose his will. He knew it would make their relationship even more distant. So he prefers to retreat this time.
"What's going on? What happened to your train? " (Sima yan)
"Something seems to have deliberately set up a trap. " (ziyan)
Sima yan looked at the wheels of the ziyan carriage. Because it was deep enough, so he decided on yelu and jiang wu to come help as well. Aided by feng xiao, the five people pushed the carriage until it finally managed to lift as well.
"Why don't you help them? " (miyan)
"If I help too. Who's gonna take care of you? " (Sima yan)
Ziyan rolled her eyes hearing Sima yan's words. The words of this playboy man are never far from sweet words full of seduction.
Ziyan's carriage finally lifted back up, Ziyan decided to immediately board in order to quickly reach his residence. Because he stopped too long, he was afraid that he would make both parents worry.
"Thank you for your help. Next time I'll pay it back. "
" I'll take you. " Sima yan hastily offered help to ziyan. But the girl was surprised and when she wanted to reject him, Sima yan immediately added his sentence. " Before you leave, he tells you to take care of you. Please don't reject it. "
'Sima rui's request? ' Ziyan thought for a moment. He glanced at yelu and jiangwu. Maybe it doesn't matter, after all, they're not just the two of them.
"alright. Sorry to trouble Your Majesty. " (Miyan)
Sima yan nodded, and on his horseback he escorted the ziyan horse carriage.
In the middle of the trip, because there was no chatter at all, it made the atmosphere quite awkward. So ziyan opened her window curtain and decided to start a conversation with Sima yan.
" Prince, how did you get here? " Ziyan felt Sima yan's presence was so coincidental.
"Ah that. I'm going to the money residence. Because as the new minister, I have to congratulate him on behalf of the royal family. "
"Then why didn't you go there? "
"That's because... " When they were about to answer Ziyan's question, a group of bandits blocked their path.
"Hahahahaha. "
Bandits with large bodies stood in the middle of the road. In his hand held a machete. One by one his comrades came out of his hiding place.
Seeing that there was danger ahead, feng xiao immediately went on standby to protect Sima yan.
"Feng xiao you protect miss mo. " (Sima yan)
Fengxiao was silent for a moment, then responded to sima yan's orders. "Good."
Feng xiao's priority was to protect Sima yan. He never denied his orders either. So even though it was against feng xiao's obligations, he still obeyed it.
Within seconds, their fight began. Feng xiao and xiaoqi fought the bandits who were trying to get close to the carriage. It seemed like these bandits were deliberately targeting the ziyan carriage. Yelu and jiangwu helped in the battle. Although their martial arts were not as great as Sima yan, feng xiao or xiaoqi. But at least their ability can be called tolerable for beginners to swing a sword.
"They're not even as good as you. " Snowy muttered softly when she saw the two people fighting.
"Hm... " Ziyan did not respond too much to Snowy's words. There was something strange about yelu and jiangwu. I don't know why they look like they're playing games.
An arrow suddenly stuck on the wall of the ziyan carriage. Luckily only a small iron tip on his arrowhead entered the inner wall. Ziyan used a special carriage that Sima rui had prepared before her departure. If he uses a regular car. It was possible that the arrow had already pierced through his chest. That was why the moment this carriage fell in the hole earlier, it was quite difficult for xiaoqi to lift it. Because the weight of this train itself is 3 times that of ordinary cars.
"Aahhhh! " A surprised Yaoyao screamed in fear.
Hearing the yaoyao's cry made xiaoqi refocus his attention on the ziyan carriage. He saw an arrow stuck there. Realizing that many arrows were coming to rain down on them. He immediately ran over to the feng xiao and pulled it, dodged the attack and hid behind the carriage.
Yelu and jiangwu went into hiding there. With their abilities, there was no way they could dispel the arrow attacks.
"Why are they so serious? " Jiangwu could feel the great desire of the bandits who wanted to kill them.
"Be quiet. " Yelu shut jiangwu's mouth. He didn't want this leaky-mouthed man to reveal more.
Pork!
The body of the coachman who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground right in front of the xiaoqi, shocking the other three people.
"Miss are you okay. " Xiaoqi made sure that his nona was unharmed.
"Hm.. I'm doing fine. You just calm down. Ordinary arrows will not be able to penetrate this carriage. Is everything okay? "
However after feng xiao came out, no bandits attacked them anymore. He did not even see the arrows coming.
Sima yan came out of the bushes. It turned out that he had just defeated all the bandits who were hiding.
"Sir are you okay? " Feng xiao immediately approached Sima yan. " That's..." Seeing the blood on his chest made Feng xiao worry even more.
" Oh... It's their blood. You just calm down. " (Sima yan)
The situation outside had calmed down, no more sounds of fighting. So Ziyan decided to open the window of his carriage.
"Miss. "
"Waaahhh ...! "
Xiaoqi's face appeared suddenly in front of him just as ziyan opened the window. Makes him really surprised. Ziyan held onto her chest, feeling her heart beating fast.
Snowy chuckled at Ziyan's reaction. It was rare to see the girl so shocked.
"Sorry, she surprised you. I just wanted to say that the situation is safe. "
Ziyan looked out. His eyes found several corpses of bandits that had fallen to the ground due to being hit by arrows. Ziyan frowned. Looks like something's awkward. But he doesn't want to think about it now.It's better to get out of here. Since many bandits had escaped, ziyan decided to leave the place immediately. It would be a big deal to stay here.
After that bloody journey, Ziyan finally arrived at the mo residence.
"Thank you everyone for delivering. " (ziyan)
" All together. "
Sima yan continued to look at Ziyan's back until it disappeared behind the door.
"Hey xiongdi* (brother) today you were great too. That bandit incident looks real. Where did you hire those bandits? "
Actually, since the beginning Sima yan already knew the path of ziyan's journey. So he deliberately set up a trap hole in that road to stop the ziyan carriage.
The plan was after the train got stuck. He would appear suddenly to help her. Then drive her home so that their relationship will become closer. That was what Sima yan thought at first. But who would have thought that in the middle of the road, they would meet with bandits. So in other words it is not sima yan who regulates the bandits. They were not in his plan. He couldn't have made the life of his beloved girl a bet.
"I didn't set those bandits up. They weren't in my plans. " Sima yan explained briefly.
"So you mean. Is that a real bandit? " (Jiangsu)
"of course. " (Sima yan)
Yelu and jiangwu looked at each other.
******************
At night, West yard.
Snowy immediately jumped onto the bed. He broke his body and prepared to sleep. However he saw that Ziyan was still sitting while twisting his teacup.
"You're not sleeping? " (Snow)
"Hm.. " Ziyan got up from her chair then sat on her bed, stuffing her legs into the blanket.
"What are you thinking. I know you're thinking something. "
Ziyan glanced at the cat and stroked his head. "I was just thinking about what happened this afternoon. "
" Which incident? a lot of things happened today. " As if aware of something. Snowy said curiously. " Is it true today is your unlucky day. "
Ziyan wiggled her index finger. "No... You wrong. Today is my lucky day. "
Huh uh?! Snowy did not understand. Lucky from where? he was almost killed by a bandit and still said lucky.
" You don't understand? " Ziyan smiled faintly. "Because of that hole, we get a free escort. I guess, most likely the one who made the hole was Sima yan. "
"Sima yan's? How do you know that? That bandit too... "
"No... " Ziyan shook her head. " They're not Sima yan's people. I know because at the time of the attack, I accidentally heard the remark of one of the bandits expressing his surprise due to the sudden presence of Sima yan and the others. From there I knew that they were not one of Sima yan's plans. Looks like those bandits were sent by someone to kill me. Therefore, they were so shocked to know the existence of sima yan. "
" Then about the hole, from the beginning I knew that the hole was deliberately made by someone. It's just that I didn't expect that person to be sima yan? I thought it was made by robbers or bandits. The moment Sima yan appeared was what made me suspicious. It was a coincidence and a very good time. "
"Only from that did you conclude everything? "
Snowy still couldn't believe it, there must still be another factor.
" yes. And that's my opinion as well. "
Then Ziyan went back into silence, his mind thinking of something else.
" And my other opinion is that maybe there's someone else helping us attack those bandits. "
Snowy was silent.
" I saw some of those bandits die from being hit by arrows. Did any of us carry arrows? isn't that weird. "
Ziyan yawned restraining her eyes that felt so heavy. "We'll think about it again tomorrow. Let's go to bed. "
********************
A message-carrying bird perched on a small rod. He was silent and obediently waiting for someone to pick up the short letter that was at his feet.
The man in iron armor walked over towards the bird. He took the little letter and read it. Both corners of her lips lifted up making a knot of smile.
" Prince.. everything is ready, waiting for the order to move. " (beep)
Sima rui turned her body and looked straight. " Send me my orders. We'll be moving in ten minutes. "
" Good."
Sima rui watched junyi's expression. The guard seemed so happy to know they were about to leave the border.
" It looks like living on the border has made you suffer? " (sima rui)
" It's not because life here makes me suffer, sir. But because I can finally go home and meet him. " Junyi smiled foolishly. "Aren't you also looking forward to meeting Miss Mo, sir. "
" Ahem... It's been. You go and get ready. "
Sima rui threw away her face, trying to hide her feelings. The courage of his bodyguards is getting bigger and bigger. He even dared to tease himself.
The separation between Sima rui and ziyan which was only two weeks somehow for Sima rui felt like two years. He misses that girl so much. There was not a day he spent without thinking about the girl. Therefore, to treat his longing. He sent his shadow bodyguards to secretly protect him and send any news of the girl.
The horse carriage he gave her was finally useful as well
and his shadow bodyguards had also been secretly protecting the girl. But there was one thing that still disturbed his mind. The fact that his sister also likes ziyan. He even went so silly as to make a trap hole just to get close to him.
Sima rui squeezed the little paper. Looks like he should teach his sister not to touch something that doesn't belong to him. ' Yan 's... You just wait. '
