The ruts of the carriage pressed against the ground, causing the carriage to sway. Ye Lan sat aside, and Liu Xunhuan also sat at the farthest place from Ye Lan with great restraint.

But even so, Liu Xunhuan's eyes were intense enough. Of course, it wasn't because he liked Ye Lan, but because he was full of inquiry.

Ye Lan rubbed his eyebrows and looked up: "What do you want to say? You can just say it."

"I'm wondering why you always reject Gong Yu."

"I should have explained this matter many times. I don't want to be bound to the capital. In the future, he will also become the tallest person in the capital. The two of us are not from the same world."

It was her who was forcibly bound to Gong Yu.

It was she who made Gong Yu embark on this path.

Otherwise, it is very likely that Gong Yu will never want to get close to the throne in this life.

"How did you know that Gong Yu would want to tie you up in the capital?" After hearing what Ye Lan said, Liu Xunhuan suddenly showed an expression that was half-smiling.

Yelan didn't look at him, but looked away and stared out the window, "Yes, he won't. It's just that I can't be with him now."

She knew what Gong Yu thought about her, and she also knew that the high wall she had erected might look impenetrable, but in fact it had already been wavering.

However, her reason told her that the current situation in the Ye family did not allow her to like someone.

Gong Yu is from the royal family. He is Prince Ning and is your Majesty's favorite son.

The Ye family is a thorn in the side of the royal family. She, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, behaves provocatively and is very arrogant. His Majesty will not allow her to get involved with Prince Ning.

Ye Lan knows this very well.

"It seems that you have your own concerns." Liu Xunhuan smiled, and he understood a lot when he looked at Ye Lan's side face, which was deliberately only exposed, with all his emotions hidden under his long hair.

Maybe Gong Yu is not one-way?

Yelan said: "Don't tell Gong Yu."

Liu Xunhuan said: "Don't worry, this is your business, I won't interfere."

"Thank you."

Ye Lan wiped his face, pushed his hair away, turned his head and smiled at him.

The two looked at each other and already had a tacit understanding.

"Then I have another question to ask you. Since you have thought about it so much, why can't you just tell..." Liu Xunhuan raised his head and asked Ye Lan, but before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly sounded outside.

The carriage suddenly shook, and Liu Xunhuan lost his balance and hit the wall of the carriage.

"What happened?"

"There may be an enemy attack."

Yelan was not surprised by this kind of thing, but she was a little curious. In a place like the capital, who had the courage to carry out assassination at such a time?

She lifted the car curtain and looked outside, and saw countless men in black suddenly emerging from both sides of the street.

But today, when their carriage passed by, she originally felt a little strange. In the past, she could hear the shouting and hawking on the streets, but today it was especially peaceful.

"Who would choose to take action at this time?"

Ye Lan turned his head and glanced at Liu Xunhuan, "I don't know, but I think... I chose this time to do it on purpose."

Are you specifically picking her to attack when she leaves Prince Ning's Mansion? Are you afraid that attacking her in Prince Ning's Mansion will arouse His Majesty's wrath?

That proves that these killers were coming for him from the beginning.

Liu Xunhuan also realized this and asked her: "In that case, I'm afraid the people who took action should be King Xiao's party."

"Yes. I went to the Ministry of Justice to meet with Pei Shuo. Shen Yan was probably worried that Pei Shuo would give me evidence against him, so he wanted to kill someone and silence him." Ye Lan frowned.

If Shen Yan had already taken action against herself here, then Pei Shuo in prison... Yelan didn't think about it, and now she was still in danger of being assassinated.

"What should we do? Our carriage has been driving for so long and we are far away from Prince Ning's Mansion. I'm afraid that Prince Ning's Mansion doesn't know the situation here at all." Liu Xunhuan said, "When they find out, they will probably all Been waiting for a long time.”

However, Liu Xunhuan was ordered by Gong Yu to escort Ye Lan, so he still brought a few people with him, but it might still be a bit difficult to deal with the assassins outside.

He probably can't resist it for long.

Liu Xunhuan was also worried about this, "Girl, I'll go out and deal with these people, and you take advantage of the chaos to leave and go to Prince Ning's Mansion and ask Gong Yu to send someone over to resolve these matters."

Yelan shook his head, touched his body, and spread his hands a little regretfully, "It doesn't matter, I can deal with these people."

She didn't even bring a weapon.

It seems that after being in the capital for so long, he has become lax, and he actually doesn't even carry a weapon.

It turned out that at the border, she and her silver gun were never separated for a moment.

"Girl, your safety is more important. You can't go out. I also know a little bit about martial arts. You wait in the carriage."

Liu Xunhuan stopped Ye Lan directly, and at this time, the sound of weapons handing over could be heard outside, very close to them.

It feels like someone will break in the next moment.

Ye Lan said: "No need, you go find Gong Yu, I can deal with these people. Their target is me, there is no need to hook up with you for me."

"Can……"

"Don't forget, I once killed enemies at the border. Don't you believe in my martial arts?"

Later, Yelan added, "You are a burden if you stay here. I can't spare any time to protect you."

Liu Xunhuan: "..."

This is a fact, and Liu Xunhuan stopped talking nonsense. He nodded: "Take care, young lady, and don't show off."

"As soon as I go out, you can immediately turn the carriage around and go to Prince Ning's Mansion." Ye Lan ordered.

"it is good."

Liu Xunhuan agreed with Yelan's words.

Ye Lan pulled out the jewelry from her hair, then tore off the fabric and simply tied up the loose hair.

She prepared all this in an orderly manner. When Liu Xunhuan heard the closer and closer sounds of fighting outside, his heart was in his throat.

He also hates himself now, why didn't he practice martial arts more honestly, so he wouldn't have to leave in a hurry now.

Next time he goes out, he must bring enough people.

Yelan ignored Liu Xunhuan's thoughts. She was already prepared. She raised the car curtain with her fingers and said to Liu Xunhuan at the last moment when she left: "Take care."

Liu Xunhuan nodded.

Ye Lan left the carriage alone. Liu Xunhuan did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed out of the carriage and grabbed the reins of the horse.

The horse roared, and the moment Ye Lan left, the carriage had already turned around and headed towards the road it came from.

Only Yelan was left standing there.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying at her feet, and she had experienced a very brutal fight just outside the carriage.

The result was that Yelan's side suffered a disastrous defeat.

These men in black are all elites with high martial arts skills. There are too few people brought out by Prince Ning's Mansion to withstand such a large crowd tactic.
