The "bandits" were numerous and had clear goals, and they quickly rushed to the carriage.
The young man who was elected as the Qiu Hua Messenger was their priority target. Two "bandits" provided cover, and one of them rushed out from the middle. The long knife in his hand was pointed directly at the young man's neck.
Is that posture meant to kill with one blow?
Seeing that there was blood on the young man's neck, the leading middle-aged escort rushed over with a roar, raised the bandit's knife, turned around and killed him.
The young man covered his neck and collapsed to the ground in fear, his whole body froze.
Wen Wan was very close to the young man. She rushed over and helped the young man up, then pulled him to hide behind the carriage.
Zhou Lingling stood behind the two of them with a stick in hand.
Wen Wan looked at the other two young people scattered not far away and shouted loudly:
"Come here quickly, their target is the five of us. If we get together, the bodyguard brothers can concentrate their efforts to protect us!"
The other two young people were in panic and had no ability to think at all. When someone gave an order, they subconsciously obeyed.
Under the cover of the black-clad escorts, five young people gathered together.
The bodyguards gathered together and surrounded the five people on three levels inside and three outside, giving no opportunity for the bandits to take advantage of the chaos and kill them.
The middle-aged bodyguard sent out a signal while fending off the bandits.
"Brothers, if you hold on for another quarter of an hour, reinforcements will definitely arrive!"
"Yes!"
The escorts roared in unison. Their momentum and obedience were beyond the comparison of ordinary escorts.
Wen Wan's eyes flashed, and she carefully observed the battle situation calmly.
The bodyguards tried their best to block it, but as time went by, they gradually began to lose their strength. Seeing that gaps often appeared among the defending bodyguards, belated reinforcements finally arrived.
What shocked Wen Wan was that the cavalry who arrived were all in golden armor.
"This is..."
Fengwei?
Wen Wan narrowed her eyes, and the valve of memory suddenly opened. She remembered the time when Wei Changjia led Feng Wei to the border town.
As the Empress Dowager's nephew, Wei Changjia controlled Fengwei on behalf of the Empress Dowager. They pursued him from the imperial capital to the border town in order to hunt down the envoy Chen Yuan.
The person Chen Yuanzhang met before his death was the old woman named "Xiang Nu", and that old woman came for the Cangqi Secret Box.
Now that Fengwei has appeared in Haicheng again, and is still secretly hiding around the team escorting the Qiuhua envoys. Could it be that the person the Queen Mother is looking for is also related to the Cangqi Secret Box?
However, hasn't the Cangqi Secret Box been found and returned to the Imperial Capital?
"Sister Xiaowan?"
Zhou Lingling called softly to pull Wen Wan back from her chaotic thoughts.
She turned her head and saw that the battle situation had completely reversed after the arrival of the Feng Guard Cavalry. Seeing that the situation was over, the bandits quickly retreated.
The Phoenix Guards did not pursue the victory, but gathered their formation to protect a few young people.
This time the person leading Feng Wei was Xiao Qi, who seemed to know the middle-aged bodyguard.
The middle-aged bodyguard stepped forward to express his thanks, covering his injured arm, "Thanks to Commander Wang for coming to the rescue, otherwise we brothers would have to stay here today."
Commander Wang waved his hand, "Brother Li, you're welcome. We are all working for the Queen Mother, so there is no need to divide things between each other. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was prepared and asked me to accompany her in advance."
The middle-aged bodyguard sighed, "It's just... I originally wanted to hide Feng Wei, but now it's completely exposed."
Commander Wang was not as cautious as he was, "Well, compared to our exposure, the Qiuhua envoy is more important. What's more, since the death of the Chen Yuan envoy, many things have been put on the surface, but there is no revelation. Just broken window paper.”
The middle-aged escort nodded, "That's true." The two of them spoke clearly and understood that some words should not be said in front of others.
They thought that these young people from the countryside didn't understand anything, but little did they know that when they mentioned the words "Chen Yuanshi", Wen Wan's expression changed.
After the injured person simply treated their wounds, the Phoenix Guards cavalry protected everyone and continued moving forward.
Because the carriage was damaged, the five young men no longer had enough room and were forced to squeeze into one carriage.
Wen Wan hugged her knees and huddled in the corner with Zhou Lingling.
She tugged on Zhou Lingling's sleeve and asked Zhou Lingling to come over.
She lowered her voice and said a few words to Zhou Lingling.
Zhou Lingling was confused at first, then nodded in agreement.
Then, Zhou, a talkative young man who chased fans, went online in seconds and started getting close to the other three people one by one.

Before the city gate closed, the group finally arrived at Yuncheng after a long journey.
Because Yuncheng is close to the Imperial Capital, roads extend in all directions, there are many shops in the city, and the people live a prosperous life. Even at night, there are still many shops open.
With the intimidation of the Phoenix Guards, even the innkeeper was a little more enthusiastic than usual and quickly settled everyone down.
While walking towards the room, Wen Wan and Zhou Lingling put a little distance between themselves and the people in front of them so that they could talk more easily.
Zhou Lingling told Wen Wan all the news she found out.
"The three of them are all natives of Haicheng, and their families have different livelihoods. One family runs a bookstore, one is from a rural farmer's family, and the other family is a picker. They are all ordinary people. , nothing special.”
"Sister Xiaowan, why do you want me to inquire about their identities and backgrounds?"
After listening to his description, Wen Wan frowned more and more.
"No one in their three families has medical skills?"
Zhou Lingling shook her head affirmatively, "No. Sister Xiaowan, do you want to find someone who knows medical skills? My father can do it. What's wrong with you?"
"You're the one who's sick." Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth, her expression serious.
She stared at Zhou Lingling for a moment and asked a question that left Zhou Lingling speechless.
She said: "Are you your father's biological child?"
"Heh," Zhou Lingling's expression suddenly froze, "Sister Xiaowan, are you polite to ask this?"
Wen Wan sighed helplessly, "Time is tight, I will explain to you later."
There is still a short distance to go back to the room, and then there will be no chance to talk.
After hearing this, Zhou Lingling replied: "Of course. Although my mother died young, my father raised me very well since I was a child. It is impossible that I am not my biological child."
Wen Wan asked in a deep voice: "Your father...is his name Zhou Kui? Does your father have a senior brother named Chen?"
When Zhou Linling saw her serious question, her heart pounded, but her tone was very confusing.
"No, my father's name is Zhou Chi, and I have never heard him mention any senior brother."
His answer made Wen Wan look confused. She whispered, "Is it really a coincidence?"
But she is a person who never easily believes in coincidences.
