They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 132 With Big Sister here, I'm at ease... oh dear.

The leader, Zirsa, flipped through the map over and over. The winding roads drawn on it gave her a headache. In the end, she followed the official road, and the group disguised themselves as merchants.

On the other side, Mo Baiyun had already sent a message to A Qing Feiying, after all, he used to be a person from Xiao Rong Kingdom and was quite familiar with their tricks.

When Aqing received the news, she also hurried towards Wu Ziyan's direction. The county where she was now was less than 50 miles away from Wu Ziyan, so it was the closest she could get there.

Because they had male relatives and Wu Ziyan was ill, their journey was slower, so Aqing quickly caught up with them.

Hearing the clatter of hooves approaching, the guards in their regiment drew their weapons, thinking that this time they were coming openly.

When Wu Ziyan looked closely, she couldn't recognize who it was. It wasn't until she heard the awkward and somewhat stiff official speech that she remembered it was A Qing, whom she had recently taken in from the Holy Martial Sect.

Judging from her hurried appearance, she must have received a message from Mo Baiyun, which is why she dared to come to her side to protect her.

"I am late, Your Highnesses, please forgive me."

"Stop talking, have a drink of water and we still have to keep going. When will the assassins arrive? We're afraid to sleep during the day and eat at night." Wu Ziyan was swaying on his horse, his mind was unclear, and his words were incoherent.

This is the consequence of the panic and lack of rest that followed receiving that news.

"I don't know when the assassin will arrive, but I will definitely protect Your Highnesses."

"Stop calling me 'subordinate' all the time, just follow behind properly." Wu Ziyan yawned again. She couldn't ride a horse anymore; she felt like she would fall off if she continued.

"I'm going to catch my ride now."

But he really didn't want to sit in Han Yuxiu and Fang Yuerong's car. Even leaning on their shoulders was a struggle; she was really tired.

This time, when she sat down, the two of them sat in a row, leaving all the seats on one side for her. This time, they were considerate!

She leaned back on the carriage, looking utterly dejected as the carriage jolted along. The two people beside her seemed to have something to say but didn't know how to describe it.

"Speak up, I have a sixth sense that you're about to say something."

"We've discussed it and decided that we won't separate from you."

What a stubborn fellow! Whatever, it's also possible that those assassins simply can't find their way, which is why they haven't come to kill us yet.

Seeing that Wu Ziyan didn't speak, the two of them took it as tacit agreement and sat quietly to the side without making any small movements. The two of them no longer competed for jealousy.

As they reached a valley, they suddenly heard sounds of fighting coming from the mountains. Wu Ziyan and Wu Chengji became alert, but they knew these were not assassins; they couldn't possibly be shouting and killing so openly.

Good heavens, it turns out that the assassin took the wrong path and ended up on the mountaintop, where there happened to be a band of bandits, who were refugees who had suffered from floods and famine.

They were locked in a fierce battle when Wu Ziyan peeked out at her older sister, her eyes asking what was going on. Wu Chengji shook his head.

The guards who had gone ahead to scout the way returned and reported that two groups of people had started fighting, which looked like bandits fighting over a mountain stronghold.

"Let's just leave this to our own devices. We're too few people and too weak to handle it. Let's leave it to the local prefecture or county."

But the people on the mountain were gradually rushing down and getting closer. The leader, Qiersa, had sharp eyes and saw their carriage from afar. He told his teammates in Xiao Rong language that he had discovered Wu Ziyan and his group's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the bandits also saw a carriage down the mountain. They could rob one or two of them, and it seemed that the people driving the carriage were very rich. They had no money or food on the mountain, so this was a free meal ticket.

Seeing them all rushing down, they knew something was wrong and quickly formed a protective circle, trapping them inside.

Wu Chengji, spear in hand and on horseback, led the way. He didn't take these bandits seriously at all. But upon closer inspection of the curved swords carried by the other group, he realized they must be the assassins described in the letter.

"Fourth Sister, this situation doesn't seem good!"

Han Yuxiu also peeked out and murmured, "As long as they don't use arrows, it's actually all fine."

Wu Ziyan's face darkened. She couldn't stand Han Yuxiu's words. As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit ordered his men to take out their bows and arrows, fire a shot from a distance, and then go up to collect the corpse.

Wu Ziyan, speechless, quickly pressed the two of them down. At least the benches near the dock were made of several layers of wooden planks, so they couldn't be shot through. The guards outside also began to find cover.

"Yu Xiu, I beg you, please don't talk next time, okay?" Wu Ziyan muttered.

He still looked completely clueless, unaware of what he had done wrong, when then they heard the sound of arrows hitting the wooden planks.

The sound of arrows cutting through the air stopped after a while, indicating that their first wave of arrow attacks was almost over. However, he was too weak to even kill a chicken, so going out would be of no use.

However, the arrows not only injured their own men, but Xiao Rong's men were also in no better shape. Some had wounds on their arms, some on their legs, and some even had arrows stuck in their waists.

"Capture Wu Ziyan alive, we don't care about anything else!"

He heard her call her name instantly, his ears are sharp enough to detect it. What does it have to do with her? What's the point of catching this weakling? What grudge do we have against her?

"Wait, if we really can't capture her alive, let's just kill her. Remember, kill her instantly. Poison won't work on her at all."

Wu Ziyan: ...

"You two stay in the carriage and don't come out, whatever you do! I'm going out to check the situation."

"It's so dangerous outside, what good will it do you to go out and help us!"

She glanced at the two of them, then lifted the curtain and went outside. The people outside were already locked in a fierce battle. She pulled out a dagger and held it in her hand to give herself some psychological comfort.

Ah Qing quickly came to her side: "The person who came to assassinate you is the captain of Xiao Rong's team. Her combat skills are far superior to mine. It seems that the Prime Minister has really gone all out!"

"Ah? Sent by the Prime Minister?"

"Yes, we tried to kill you on our own last time, and this time it's probably still related to the last time we transported weapons. We think our master is an obstacle!"

She's really something, thank goodness! What good deeds did she accumulate over eight lifetimes to end up with such a mother-in-law? She smiled slightly, relieved to have her older sister around... Damn it!

At this point, her eldest sister had already fought with the bandit leader and was far away from the group. If someone came to kill her now, it would be easy for her, and she wouldn't have time to run back to save her.

"Ah Qing, you ride a horse and run with me, but you might die. Are you willing?"

"I have already died once."
