Chapter 170 Do we not need to pretend anymore?
Si Yin was originally looking somewhere else, but when he heard Zi Yan's voice, he followed her line of sight.
The horses in the carriage began to run wildly.
Black smoke was coming out of the floor of the carriage, as if it was on fire!
Si Yin's face darkened. They had only been out of the inn for less than two hours.
"Hold on tight. I'll go take a look." He reminded in a low voice.
"it is good."
Si Yin immediately squeezed the horse's belly and quickened his pace to check.
Who knew that the mad horse would start to run rampant.
It crashed directly into the woods nearby and soon fell to the ground, with the carriage overturned.
Black smoke was emanating from the floor of the carriage.
Si Yin wanted to go over to check, but he seemed to smell the smell of sulfur, so he immediately stopped and ran away.
The expert coachman also abandoned the carriage when it lost control.
boom--
The huge noise echoed throughout the official road.
The carriage exploded.
After frying, burn it.
Luckily it was in the woods and not blocking the road.
People passing by just took a look and continued on their way.
It seems to have nothing to do with them.
Zi Yan leaned in Si Yin's arms. She seemed to be frightened and her body was shaking slightly.
Si Yin looked in the direction of the carriage with a gloomy expression.
They hadn't checked in the morning, and it turned out that both the horse and the carriage had been tampered with.
If they hadn't been riding horses today, they might not have been able to escape unscathed.
This speed is really too fast!
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Si Yin whispered comfortingly.
Zi Yan nodded, and she leaned her back against Si Yin's chest, only then did she feel a little more comfortable.
"Master, is the driver okay?" Zi Yan asked worriedly. He was the only one driving the carriage.
"It's okay, he left early."
Maybe Chu Yan and the others heard the noise in front and ran back.
See their carriage was destroyed!
The luggage is all in the carriage!
Now there is nothing!
"Master, do you know what happened? Why did it suddenly explode for no reason?" Shen Yindi and Chu Yan came over, and she asked curiously.
Si Yin shook his head, he didn’t know either.
I remember that they were the first to run today, and they were the last to set off after the carriage was loaded with luggage.
So Shen Yindi didn't check it either.
At this time, the expert driver came back.
They stopped by the roadside.
Si Qi and Chu Yun were the fastest, but they also ran back.
Seeing this, they were all horrified.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, I was driving the carriage just now and found that the horse suddenly became very irritable. It was completely out of control."
"Afterwards, the carriage gave off a pungent smell, and I realized something was wrong, so I abandoned the carriage. Please punish me, Master." The expert coachman apologized.
"It has nothing to do with you. You did a good job in this matter." Before Si Yin could speak, Shen Yindi said it first.
To her, human life is more important than anything else.
Si Yin's deep voice just sounded, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, go find a horse yourself."
"I obey my orders!"
Several people looked unhappy.
"It should be something they did after we set out. When I went upstairs to get things in the morning, I didn't find anything unusual." Shen Yindi's low voice sounded.
She really didn't expect that there was something so explosive in this dynasty.
"Were there any other reactions before the explosion?" They were walking in front and didn't see anything happen.
So now Shen Yindi wants to ask.
"There was black smoke and a strong smell of sulfur. It was coming from the bottom of the carriage." Si Yin told them truthfully.
"That should be it."
"It's a pity that our bags are all on it, and now we don't even have any clothes to change into." Si Qi pouted.
Fortunately, they decided to ride horses today, otherwise if they ran slower, they would probably be doomed.
"Fortunately, we have all the money on us. When we reach the next city, we can buy new things."
Shen Yindi still feels sorry for her carriage!
She bought it at great expense!
The grudge has been formed. When she finds out who is behind this, she will have to stab him twice to vent her hatred.
"Husband, where is the next city?" Shen Yindi tilted her head and asked Chu Yan.
"Yancheng. This is the third largest city in the imperial capital. It is also quite prosperous." Chu Yan introduced her.
"How long will it take us to get there?"
"If we walk faster, we should be able to get there before dark today." Chu Yan said truthfully.
"Then let's hurry up and run."
"Row."
They did not delay any longer and immediately set off again.
"Husband, you said those people knew that we were riding horses today, so why did they still tamper with the carriage?" Shen Yindi was a little confused.
"Because there is something wrong with my legs. They are useless. I definitely can't ride a horse for too long. I can only stay in a carriage."
Chu Yan's voice was a little cold. Their target has always been clear, it has always been him.
This morning, his stand-in also got into the car in a wheelchair and wearing a mask.
It created a false impression for them.
That's right, Shen Yindi specially made a substitute for him, and asked Aunt Fu to sew it herself, wearing a mask. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all when it is placed on the wheelchair.
And he, wearing a human skin mask, appeared beside Shen Yindi in another identity.
When they find out that he is still fine, will they be scared to death?
Too hard to kill!
"Now they will find out that you are not in a wheelchair." Shen Yindi raised a meaningful smile.
"Even if they find out that I am well, they certainly won't dare to tell Father."
"I am not afraid that my father will find out now, because with you by my side, anything can happen. This mere leg injury can definitely be cured." Chu Yan obviously saw it very clearly.
Shen Yindi couldn't help but laugh, in fact she knew it was like this.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, with a cunning look in them, and said, "So, we don't have to pretend anymore?"
"You still have to wear the mask and let them guess for themselves."
"Wait until my father's people come to ask."
"Well, all right, let them continue to worry and fret!"
"This kind of mental torture is actually quite good."
"I think it's great, too."
Having said this, the two of them felt better again.
"Let's run faster and try to get to Yancheng as soon as possible. Then you can take me around. How about seeing other cities?"
"Okay." Chu Yan agreed happily.
He immediately sped up.
That night, in the imperial capital, in the imperial study.
Quanzhong was reporting to the King of Chu about Chu Yan and his group's trip.
After saying this, Emperor Chu's expression looked somewhat ugly.
"They've only been gone for two days, and they've already been attacked three times!"
"How much do those people hate my Yan'er! Why do they become so fearful and impatient?" There was anger in the tone of the Emperor Chu.
"Have you found out who they are?" he continued to ask. He would never let them go.
"Your Majesty, I have found that there is a wave of people who seem to be related to the Kingdom of Nanyue."
It’s not Zhaoyue Kingdom, it’s Nanyue Kingdom?
