C2371 Outland Camp

"What's going on in front of the city gate? Minister Wu, explain it clearly to me! " In the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Great Lu Dynasty sat on the dragon throne, inquiring about what had happened at the city gate.

Poor Minister Wu, his arm was injured by an arrow, but he hadn't been able to rest well. He had been questioned by the people of Fengjue Country before, but now, he had just returned to the city. He was called over by the Emperor to inquire about what had happened at the city gate. Although he wanted to rest, he did not dare to go against the Emperor's decree.

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this. Just now, when this lowly official was sending Her Highness the Princess and the messenger of the Fengjue Country, they were suddenly attacked by some unknown people with swords and sabers in their hands. There were hundreds of people with bows and other sharp weapons, and their expressions were fanatical. They were not afraid of death, and they crazily attacked our honor guard team and the messenger team of the Fengjue Country. Luckily, thanks to His Majesty, I defeated them. Her Highness the Princess and the messenger of the Fengjue Country were not injured either." Wu Yan said with a pale face. This was not because he was scared. It was because he had lost a lot of blood. He hadn't been able to have a good rest, which caused his face to turn pale.

"Do you know who they are?" The king continued to ask.

"Because there are no survivors at the scene, so we don't know their identities yet. However, this lowly subject is already investigating. I believe that we will be able to find out their identities very soon." Wu Yan said. He was afraid of the people from the Fengjue Country. However... He was not afraid of the Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, regarding the matter of investigating the identities of those assassins... Furthermore, he had also been injured by those assassins. He hated those assassins very much in his heart, so naturally, he would not let them go.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Find out who exactly it is, to actually dare to be under Zhen's watch. Do something like that! " The emperor was furious. Such a thing had actually happened at the entrance of his capital. He felt extremely angry, not because he had lost face in front of the envoys of the Fengjue Country. It was because he felt threatened.

It was not that the Emperor did not know that in the place of the Great Lu Dynasty... Many Rebellion Army had appeared, and some of them were quite powerful. They had caused quite a bit of trouble in the prefecture, and this was also the reason why he wanted to stop the war with the Fengjue Country as soon as possible. He needed time to suppress these Rebellion Army and restore the productivity of these places. Only by doing so could the Great Lu Dynasty regain its vitality.

Initially, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty thought that the Rebellion Army was just causing trouble at the place. They didn't dare to come to the capital. However, what happened at the entrance of the city today... It made him connect this matter with the Rebellion Army. After all... There were hundreds of assassins, and all of them were armed with sharp weapons. This was obviously not something an ordinary person or organization could possess. The possibility that the enemy was from a certain Rebellion Army was very high.

This made the Emperor of Great Lu Dynasty angry and worried. He had never thought that... How dare those people from the Rebellion Army cause trouble here? It was fine if they caused a disturbance here, but it was just a small matter. Wait! After settling the matter with the Fengjue Country, he would have the time to suppress them. But now, they actually dared to cause trouble for the capital. This was a slap to his face!

Furthermore, there were actually so many people hiding near the capital! All of them had weapons in their hands. This was to ensure his own safety. It was also a very dangerous matter. Who knew how many more people would come to the capital? Who knew where they were hiding? What if someone sneaked into the Imperial Palace one day? What should they do?

Therefore, he had to find these people as soon as possible and eliminate them before they made a move. He could not leave any hidden dangers behind.

"Yes, this lowly subject obeys the decree." Minister Wu replied.

"En." The king nodded and said to Wu Yan, "By the way, how are your injuries? I will arrange for the Imperial Physician to take a look at you. "

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This lowly subject's injury is nothing." Wu Yan showed a grateful expression and said to the Emperor," For Your Majesty, this subject will not hesitate to go through fire and water. How could I care about such a small injury? "

"I understand your loyalty." The king was satisfied with Wu Yan's attitude and said, "However, you have to protect yourself well. I still have many things that I need to rely on you for. Nothing must happen to you."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Wu Yan said.

On the other side, Wu Yan left very quickly. According to the order of the king, he went to rest. Besides, there was an Imperial Physician following him to treat his injuries. The king was thinking about what had just happened alone.

He was very curious about the identities of those bandits. However... There were too many suspects, and he couldn't be sure... However, if these people were to stay near the capital... That would definitely be a threat, and he wouldn't let them go.

However, were those people targeting Princess Qi or the people from the Fengjue Country? This point, it was not easy for the Emperor to judge. After all, at that time, they attacked both sides at the same time, indiscriminately. Thus, it was hard to determine their specific target.

In addition, the people from the Fengjue Country would definitely be very angry if they encountered such a thing. The Emperor could think of this point, and he had also gotten confirmation from Wu Yan. However, logically speaking, the people of the Fengjue Country should choose to stay at the capital's side for a period of time. They would only leave after they had investigated this matter. After all... They were involved in this matter, and no one knew... Would those people continue to attack them on their way back?

However, the people from the Fengjue Country did not choose to stay any longer. Instead, they reorganized themselves and continued on their journey, as if nothing had happened. This didn't make sense. Why were they in such a hurry to return? Was there something important waiting for them in the Fengjue Country country?

His Majesty was very puzzled. However, for so many years, no one had been able to enter the interior of the Fengjue Country. Therefore... As for the news regarding the Fengjue Country, they knew very little about it. At the same time, there was a serious delay. Therefore, he did not know... What exactly was the matter with the Fengjue Country that required these envoys... He continued his journey regardless of the danger.

In the end, the Emperor was concerned about his sister. Although those assassins failed this time, they must have frightened Princess Qi. She thought of her own Royal Sister, who grew up in the Imperial Palace. She did not know how to do it. In the world of affairs, she must be very afraid of such things. Unfortunately, she was not by her side. She could not comfort her anymore. He took care of her.

Furthermore, those assassins did not care about Royal Sister, whose target was him. As long as they did not want to give up... Then, they would act again, and his Royal Sister would still be in danger. However, they had already gradually left the Imperial Palace. No matter how worried he was, there was nothing he could do.

"I hope the Imperial Guards sent by Zhen will be able to protect Zhen's Royal Sister." The king prayed silently in his heart. He only prayed now. There was nothing else he could do. He had already given Princess Qi to the Fengjue Country. There were a lot of things that he could not interfere with.

On the other side, the emissary delegation of the Fengjue Country and the group of people from the Great Lu Dynasty had slowly left the domain of the capital. However, it would still take some time for them to come out of seclusion. After all, the capital was still some distance away from the pass. Furthermore... The wedding procession was huge. Apart from the Imperial Guards, there were also many eunuchs, palace maid, accompanying them. Therefore, their speed was not fast at all.

The emissaries of the Fengjue Country understood this situation in their hearts. Therefore, no matter how anxious they were, there was nothing they could do.

"Stop! Everyone stop and set up camp here. We will spend the night here." When the sun was about to set, the middle-aged envoy from the Fengjue Country called for the entire team to stop and prepare to set up camp.

The entire team stopped. Everyone started to move and arrange the camp.

Most of the envoys and followers from the Fengjue Country side had been to the battlefield before. Therefore, they were not unfamiliar with setting up camp in the wild. As for the Great Lu Dynasty... Those people from the Imperial Guards had also been to the battlefield. However, they had only entered the Imperial Palace after that, so they weren't unfamiliar with setting up camp. It was just that palace maid and the eunuchs were a little busy.

"What are the thoughts of these Fengjue Countries people? Why did they not set up camp in the city just now and had to set up camp in the wilderness?" In the carriage, Xiao Huan said in puzzlement and anger.1

Previously, they had just passed by a large city. The officials in the city also came out to welcome them, meaning to let the team rest in the city for a night. They would continue their journey tomorrow. Princess Qi also had the same intention. However, the people of the Fengjue Country insisted on rushing. They were not willing to rest in the city. Although Princess Qi was a princess, but at this moment, she did not have much right to speak. Hence... He could only lead the family sending team and follow the people from the Fengjue Country.

And now, the sky was already dark, and it was no longer suitable for them to continue on their journey. But they had already passed the city, so they could only station in the wilderness. Staying overnight in the wilderness was definitely not as comfortable as staying in the city. Furthermore, there was danger at night, which was why Xiao Huan felt angry. She did not want to see Princess Qi suffer. Princess Qi had grown up so big. She had never spent the night in the wild.

"Forget it. Whatever they want to do, just do it." Princess Qi said.

At this moment, she was more or less showing signs of breaking the jar. She had already left the capital. After a period of time, she would even have to leave the Great Lu Dynasty. It was not that easy to get her back. As for the Fengjue Country... She was no longer a princess that was respected by others. Therefore... Her life would never be as good as it was before. That Lu Yizha wasn't a good person either. Princess Qi felt that her life was already over. Compared to the miserable life after that, this little bit of hardship was nothing.
