Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1540 Assassination
Due to transportation constraints, even though the area of ​​Qizhou is not much larger than a province in our country, if you want to travel around the country, it will take years.

It was November when Yang Yiyi arrived in the Western Regions, and now it was already June where she was. Li Chengxi figured that no matter how long Princess Mingzhu had been wandering around, she should come back now.

But I didn't expect that I would collide head-on with the princess's carriage on the way back to Kangping City.

Even though Yang Yiyi had told Wu Shaoyi about Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, as well as the princess, Wu Shaoyi felt very restrained when she went over to say hello to Yang Yiyi. The eldest sister He Ling was even more exaggerated, her whole body was stiff, while the four younger sisters were trembling like quails.

Even though Yang Yiyi is carefree, think about it, the title of princess is already the pinnacle of the feudal class, and anyone would tremble in fear.

Li Chengxi took a look and felt that Yang Yiyi still had to exchange pleasantries with Princess Mingzhu for a while, and maybe she could even get a ride in the princess' carriage later.

The onlookers were even more curious about this matter. Even though there were soldiers and palace guards surrounding them and the onlookers were at a distance, they still stretched their necks to look.

It’s fun to watch. Who doesn’t like to watch fun?

By the way, the princess's convoy looks bigger than before, and there seem to be a lot more guards.

I casually turned the mouse wheel and raised the field of view to clearly see that the princess's convoy was lined up outside the visible range of the screen.

I feel like after the Lingyun Temple incident, the princess’ security has been strengthened again.

Anyway, Yang Yiyi will definitely follow the princess later, and maybe she can even have a good meal then. Li Chengxi felt that it should be fine.

Just as he was about to switch to the game, he pressed the ALT+TAB key combination and Li Chengxi immediately said "Hmm?"

The ALT key will highlight names and interactive items, such as where a secret door is hidden.

This allowed Li Chengxi to see a dense crowd of names appearing in the woods.

As mentioned before, the road leading to Kangping City from this intersection was lined with woods on both sides, and the soldiers blocked one side of the Y-shaped intersection, so Yang Yiyi and his party had no choice but to stop their carriage.

After all, people can go around the woods, but horse-drawn carriages can't.

But judging from the direction these people were moving, they did not look like passers-by trying to bypass the military blockade and continue on their way. Instead, they looked like they were approaching the princess's carriage.

This... isn't right.

Li Chengxi immediately right-clicked on one of the names to check the attributes. Basic information such as name, gender, and age were useless, but in the title column, it clearly read "Anxiangtang Killer".

No, why would the killer from Anxiangtang be here?
The reason why Anxiangtang hunted down Yang Yiyi before was because she was carrying secret letters to the leaders of various factions, but now the matters in the Western Regions are over.

The target is not Yang Yiyi.

Li Chengxi suddenly remembered the token he found in the Broken Taoist Temple. If He Ling from the Green Shirt Sect hadn't gotten into any trouble recently, then the target...

It is very likely the princess!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"I heard about it."

When Princess Mingzhu saw Yang Yiyi, her eyes lit up:
"Miss Yang, you guys went deep into the Western Regions not long ago and raided the lair of the Heavenly Wolf Cult. Tell me about it!"

Seeing how excited the princess is, I'm afraid if she were there she would have to follow her no matter what.

"Princess, it's on the way."

Li Yingluo next to him reminded:
"Let's talk when we get back to the city. There's plenty of time."

Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were also interested, but it was obviously difficult to explain the matter in a few words.

Princess Mingzhu finally came to her senses and nodded:

"Well, Miss Yang, you have to tell me everything." She said, and then looked at Wu Shaoyi next to her:
"Who is this heroine...?"

"I am Wu Shaoyi, a native of Wujia Village."

Wu Shaoyi, who is usually very graceful and elegant, now has a tongue-tied problem when he speaks.

"Wujiazhuang? Oh, I remember now. Rousi wrote to me not long ago saying that she lived in Wujiazhuang for a while."

Speaking of which, Princess Rousi went out to play because she learned from Princess Mingzhu.

Then she looked at He Ling who was hiding behind:
"Who is that heroine?"

He Ling's whole body stiffened, and she was unable to speak as she held the bag.

Yang Yiyi quickly introduced:

"This is my senior sister He Ling, and the ones behind are my junior sisters."

Princess Mingzhu had an obviously confused expression, because she heard Yang Yiyi say that she had no sect or school, so how come there was suddenly a senior sister and a junior sister?
However, although Princess Mingzhu is a hyperactive person who loves to watch the fun, she is not a person who talks without restraint. There must be a story behind this.

So Princess Mingzhu did not ask any further questions and just nodded casually as if she had met him before.

Yang Yiyi was about to introduce them one by one when she suddenly felt the jade sceptre in her arms vibrate slightly.

She thought Li Chengxi was reminding her not to forget to ask about the token.

So Yang Yiyi looked at the imperial guards beside the princess:
"Brother Guard, look at this token, is it something from the palace?"

After all, there were many people here, and it was difficult for Li Chengxi to speak. Unless he shouted, he would not be able to remind Yang Yiyi that the killers from Anxiangtang were approaching.

The palace guard was looking around. Upon hearing this, he looked down at the token handed to him by Yang Yiyi. It can be seen that he seemed very surprised, and his pupils were dizzy.

"Miss Yang, where did you get this?"

"In a dilapidated Taoist temple on the other side of Qingyun Mountain, we found several bodies when we settled there. One of them was holding this token tightly in his hand."

"Corpses? Are there still corpses of some Jianghu people?"

Yang Yiyi nodded, and the guard's expression changed. He immediately shouted to the people around him:
"Attention alert!"

He turned around and picked up Princess Mingzhu:
"Forgive me for being rude, but you cannot stay here, my lady!"

Then he threw it into the car like throwing a bag:

"Quick! Escort the princess back to Kangping City!"

When the palace guard saw the token, he was immediately furious and completely ignored the princess's cry and the question "Are you trying to rebel?" from the carriage.

Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were also shocked, but they understood that the palace guards must have seen something from the token. They were about to turn around and get in the car to ask the princess to stay in the carriage, when they heard a cannon shot.

"Form a line! Form a line! There's an assassin!"

A large group of guys dressed as ordinary people but with their faces masked rushed out of the woods, holding swords and knives. It was obvious that they were up to no good.

As a result, the people who were originally watching the excitement outside the cordon were in chaos. There were already quite a lot of people gathered, and now everyone was running around in a mess. The soldiers responsible for blocking the road had to prevent these people from colliding with the princess's carriage on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to line up to deal with the assassins. For a moment, it seemed that they were overwhelmed.

When the scene was in chaos, several sharp blades flashed repeatedly in the crowd of panicked civilians. The soldiers who had no idea that there were bad guys hiding among the people were chopped down on the spot, and a gap was immediately opened.

Although the carriage stopped not far from the intersection, the thieves on the civilian side were actually closer to the princess than the assassins who rushed out of the forest. They drove straight in through the opened gap, and their goal was very clear, which was to go after the princess's carriage!
