Chapter 491

After a few days, the group had already walked into Henan Road slowly. Li Qing did not plan any route to travel. He would take the road to see it and the scenery would be better.

The imperial guards were divided into two teams, one team opened the way in front of the head, secretly checking if there were any suspicious people, etc. The other team followed slowly behind, naturally they were afraid that someone would follow.

A team of several people remained guarding the surrounding area to prevent any unopened gangsters from suddenly storming Li with a sword on their backs. Of course, this is also for their own good.

After entering Henan Road, the number of merchants was obviously not as high as before. After all, they were all about selling their goods to Chang'an City. If they hadn't gone to Chang'an City, most merchants would have been accustomed to doing small business around their hometowns, at least safe. After all, even in this era, even in a prosperous era, caravans were robbed.

But as soon as there were fewer merchants, Li Qing frowned after observing the situation on the road one morning.

"Go and find Xu Xiang and Lei Wanchun, don't make a name for it, just talk about it in my carriage for dinner."

Li Qing suddenly issued such an order. Not only was the guard who was sending the order a little confused, but Feng Yi, who was with him, was a little confused.

She, the imperial concubine, is still in the carriage. Although the carriage is indeed very spacious, it is a bit unethical to let two ministers come in directly, but Feng Yi doesn't care. After all, there is no such etiquette in Nanzhao.

But the next few words Li Qing said to her made her immediately know the reason why Li Qing did this suddenly, and immediately got up and started her preparation.

After a while, Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun, who were confused, arrived outside the carriage.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what..."

"Come in and talk!"

Both of them know Li Qing quite well. From Li Qing's tone, you can tell that something might have happened, because Li Qing's tone has always been quite relaxed in the past few days, but now it has suddenly changed.

So the two of them didn't care whether the imperial concubine was still in the carriage. They believed that Li would arrange everything.

After entering the carriage, Li Qing and Feng Yi were already sitting in strong outfits. Their outfits were very different from those a few days ago, and they didn't look like they were out for a walk.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

After such an accident occurred, Lei Wanchun felt a vague premonition in his heart. He had come out alone with Li Qing. He had seen Li Qing's expression more than once, but it was all in bad situations.

"After I got up today, I rode my horse outside the carriage and looked around. There was a small team of merchants, something was wrong!"

"Your Majesty means..."

When Li Qing said the words "What's wrong", Lei Wanchun's eyes immediately emitted light.

"When we hadn't left Chang'an City before, if I remembered it well, this team of people had appeared once, but now they have changed their clothes and appear again. And they are different from other merchants. Other merchants focus on their own goods and move forward quickly once they encounter others, but they deliberately maintain the same speed as us."

"They want to rob us?"

"No, their target should be me. If I guessed well, I did not hide the news of leaving the city this time, I might have been targeted by the assassin."

"Hmph, this is blue sky and sunny, and you dare to assassinate the emperor? Your Majesty, don't worry, wait for me to inform the imperial guards and take these people and see who they are instructed!"

As he spoke, Lei Wanchun was about to get up and go out, but Li Yan stopped him immediately.

"No hurry, they will not attack me during the day, so that all arrangements will be invisible. If you really want to assassinate me, you should be at night. Today is the first day we enter Henan Road. Tonight is indeed a good time."

Li Qing did not have the panic that he might have been targeted. Instead, he started to analyze the possible behaviors of these people who were calm.

"Your Majesty, even if we know that these people may assassinate Your Majesty tonight, we cannot take risks. I think we should find a nearby city. Let's go to the city tonight, so that even if there is any change, it will be under our control!"

Xu Yuan also put forward his own opinions. Although he was a civil servant, if someone came to assassinate the emperor, he himself would be the one who needed to be protected. However, for the sake of Li Neng's safety, he must put forward the safest opinions.

"Yes, there are many cities on Henan Road, so we can change the route." Obviously, Lei Wanchun also agreed with this matter.

"No! It's a temporary decision on which path I take. If they want to assassinate, they can only follow us from behind. Whether to enter the city or not is meaningless. Moreover, I've been walking just boring. After this, how can I not have fun with them?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is joking, think twice!"

"I'm not kidding. We have the imperial guards, General Lei, Imperial Concubine and I. Apart from Xu Xiang, no one is not a war-produced person. Thinking about how many assassinations the Emperor of Qin Shihuang had suffered. If he had been hiding every time, wouldn't he even dare to go to court? Don't worry, I already have some conspiracy in my mind about the origin of the people who assassinated me this time. There are not many of them who can really fight. We just need to use a little trick..."

Speaking of this, Li Qing whispered to Lei Wanchun and Xu Yuan's ears. After hearing this, the two could only nod in a reluctant way.

Li's team continued to move forward without any purpose as before, and the imperial guards were still protecting each other, without any difference, but after Li's face-to-face teaching of Lei Wanchun, it was obviously a little different from before.

Li Qing felt right, because he thought he would turn around without thinking when walking, so for the assassin with limited personnel, it was basically impossible to wait for the rabbit in front, so he could only follow him behind him.

This caused a team of people who had pretended to be a caravan before to change their clothes and come again after completing their mission. They thought the emperor would not pay attention to such an ordinary caravan, but what they didn't expect was that Li Qing observed the caravan all the way and suddenly found an old face. How could he not know?
