Chapter 158, Assassination

Yun Jinnian thought to himself, "Where is Ru Yue?"

"Sister Ru Yue is in the room making clothes for the young lady!"

Yun Jinnian nodded, "Hmm, you may go."

Yun Jinnian did not know why Ru Yue didn't leave, but time would tell what was in people's hearts; he would just have to wait and see.

Approaching noon, he received a message from Dai Hanmi that she would return tomorrow.

Yun Jinnian asked Henuan to inform Yun Muyou about this.

On the wide imperial road, a carriage sped along.

"Giddy up!"

The coachman was a middle-aged man, lean in stature, with a hat that covered most of his face.

Beside the carriage was a fast horse; atop it sat Leng Binghan, clad in black and with a somber face.

Inside the carriage, Princess Jinfeng sat upright, while Si Qin and Si Ju tightly gripped the precious swords in their hands.

Behind the carriage was a group of over a hundred fast horses, with black-clothed, masked riders brandishing their crossbows, rapidly firing at the carriage.
