The carriage swayed for a long time, but before they even reached the Salt Transport Division, Su Zixuan and his wife had already been assassinated a few times along the way.

When the first wave of people arrived, Su Zixuan was still a little worried, but when she saw that five or six of them couldn't even defeat Fu Ji, she felt relieved.

There were more people coming from the back, and the dark guards had also come out to greet them. They were simply unstoppable.

However, Su Zixuan was sitting in the carriage and didn't have the heart to care about the corpses outside. She didn't even need to think to know who these people were, and the first wave of people were especially relaxed.

However, these things were all given to Fu Guansan. As long as Su Zixuan didn't panic, she would be able to stay in the carriage and not wander around during a fight.

But just now, it was obvious that it was a bit unusual.

This time, they were fierce, there were almost twenty people, Fu Hou and the dark guard were at a loss of what to do. A blade was coming towards the carriage, even the curtain was cut, but the person suddenly fell down.

If Su Zixuan hadn't misheard, that assassin would have let out a groan before he fell.

However, she could clearly see that Fu Ji and the hidden guards had more enemies than him, and they had not taken this side into consideration at all. Or rather, even if they did, they would not be able to escape.

Then who was it?

Su Zixuan's first thought was to ask the hidden guards to investigate, but then she thought that the other side didn't have any sudden ulterior motives and coincidentally saved her. Otherwise, they would have come out to meet up.

But he did not come out. Fu Engraving had packed up all the things outside, and no one came out.

The carriage then continued on its way, mixing with the rest of the room. Fu Cheng ordered the coachman to drive faster and disguised himself before finally shaking off his tail after leaving the Renzhou border.

This question had always been on Su Zixuan's mind, but the guard had never reported anything unusual to her. It was either that the guard had left, or that even the guard couldn't discover him.

She did not think of any other possibilities. From her point of view, the hidden guard was someone Chu Yixuan had given her. He had given her a person to protect her, so naturally he would not lie to her or harm her.

Moreover, Chu Yixuan was currently in Danyang County. If someone else really did send someone to protect her, they would have already informed her.

Later on, she also asked if anyone had noticed her spying on her that day, but the answer was no.

Although she said that, she still felt that there must have been someone else on that day.

However, nothing else happened after that, so she suppressed it.

The latter half of the journey was relatively stable and the speed was much faster. Not long after, they arrived at the Salt Transport Division.

However, how to meet a salt courier became the biggest problem.

Su Zixuan and Fu Guiji had settled down in Lushan County, and had stayed beside the Salt Transport Division to spy on them for quite some time before recognizing the Salt Transport Emissary.

The entire Salt Transport Division was filled with a sense of dejection and passivity. It was quite difficult to find that unusual and somewhat unusual person.

These days of scouting had already made Su Zixuan understand that if she paid him a proper visit, he might be chased out again. It would be better to just directly appear in front of him at a place that he couldn't ignore.

For example, the inner chamber.

Su Zixuan was somewhat proud of her wit, but she was met with Fu Engraving's disapproval.

In truth, Su Zixuan was just teasing him for a few ideas, but she didn't really want to do it. Not only would she directly enter the inner chamber and be disrespectful to him, she would also easily be treated as a thief.

But she did not like Fu Ji's reproachful gaze. Those self-righteous gentlemen always liked to look down on others with such eyes.

Her displeasure was so obvious that Fu Hou felt that he had made a mistake again. Ever since that day he had shamed Su Zixuan by telling him to be ashamed, he didn't dare to speak to her again.

It was useless to say it, since he would be choked anyway.

He fawned over Su Zixuan, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Didn't he go to the Temple of Datong outside of the city every month in the middle of the month? At that time, he would be waiting for him at the temple." Su Zixuan said.

Fu Hou hesitated for a moment. "Lord Zheng is going to pay homage to his loved ones. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to disturb him at this time?"

"This is the best time." Su Zixuan looked at Fu Guansan's puzzled expression and said meaningfully, "The emotions in my heart have definitely been floating a bit more than usual these few days. If I run into this matter again …"

"You and I both know that the person behind the Yan family is the crown prince. As the Queen's mother, will the Yao family from the crown prince's outer family be clean in here?" Su Zixuan's expression was calm as he narrated what he said, as if he didn't realize that he was discussing a Crown Prince of a country.

Although Fu Hou still felt that this method of rubbing salt into wounds was not very good, but there really was no better way. Moreover, compared to Su Zixuan's methods, he seemed to feel that he was a bit merciful.

Su Zixuan had decided to come here because they had all been persecuted by the same group of people. Under power, one's life was like an ant, and only those who lived in the same place would know the meaning behind this.

She wanted to see how this Lord Zheng could endure humiliation for so many years and how he could allow others to kill him with a single blow.
