Wenren Ruoxi's carriage did not have any movement, and no one replied.

This caused the middle-aged man outside to be somewhat puzzled.

"What's going on? "Where is he?"

Ming Huan opened the carriage's curtain and looked at Wenren Ruoxi's carriage, frowning he asked the middle aged man, who was also the coachman.

"Brother Ming Huan, the person in the carriage did not respond to my question." When the middle aged man saw Ming Huan asking questions, he immediately replied respectfully.

Ming Huan was merely a young man, but the middle-aged man still had to call him brother. This was entirely because Ming Huan followed He Lanshan, and Ming Huan was also planning to have He Lanshan take him in as his disciple.

Therefore, even though Ming Huan was still young, his status within the Prime Minister's Estate was actually many times higher than the average servant.

"You're sure you heard someone shout for help inside the carriage just now?"

Ming Huan frowned and thought, then looked at the middle aged man and asked.

"Yes, Brother Ming Huan. Although I can't do anything else, my hearing is stronger than ordinary people." The middle-aged man quickly explained, "Just now, I heard a woman calling out, and I saw that woman stretch her leg out."

"There's a woman calling out, and I even saw her feet, but I didn't get any response …"

Ming Huan thought for a while, then slowly said, "Then, there is only one possibility …"

It was that the woman had met with a mishap. The woman was not the only one in the carriage. Who knew if she was being threatened by evil people to not dare to make a sound.

Carriage, woman …

Ming Huan's face suddenly changed, his eyes staring straight at the carriage in front of him.

If this was the case, then they had also come in pursuit of Wenren Ruoxi's carriage just now. Moreover, because of the tracks of the carriage on the official road, they had almost missed out on this very mark.

If it weren't for the middle-aged man's meticulous observation, they would have long since chased him down the main road. In this way, no matter how much they chased him, they wouldn't have been able to catch up to him.

Because...

"This carriage is probably the one that the general director told us to chase after."

Ming Huan said softly to the middle-aged man.

"Brother Ming Huan, do you need me to go and investigate?"

The middle-aged man naturally knew about Ming Huan's mission, so after hearing his analysis, his face immediately changed and he said seriously.

Even though the middle-aged man was only a coachman, he had actually been a soldier before. It was just that he had been injured in training, causing him to be crippled, which was why he had become a coachman for Prime Minister's Estate.

However, he still had some martial arts on him. Although his legs and feet didn't change, he was still much stronger than an average person.

"Mm, you go take a look first. I'll keep the woman my master pointed out, and deal with all the unrelated people."

Ming Huan nodded his head, according to the situation, if the other party had not come out from the horse carriage, they would not have waited here the entire time.

"I will follow your orders, Brother Ming Huan."

The middle aged man nodded his head, then retrieved a big blade from the carriage and held it in his hand, then with light footsteps he slowly approached Wenren Ruoxi's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Qi Rui was suppressing Wenren Ruoxi to not let him make a sound, while paying attention to the situation outside, but because he could not open the curtain to look outside, he could only hear the situation outside through his ears.

Originally, Qi Rui could still hear some conversation going on outside, but gradually, he could no longer hear it anymore, he could no longer even feel a little movement. All he could hear was the wind outside.

Unknowingly, the weather outside had also turned gloomy. Strong wind was blowing against the leaves, making "wu wu" sounds. It seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

"What's going on? Could it be that the person has left? "

Qi Rui wanted to go over to the carriage curtain to take a look, but if he walked away, then Wenren Ruoxi would definitely continue to move around and attract attention. After hesitating for a while, he decided to suppress Wenren Ruoxi and give up on checking the carriage curtain.

It was also because of this action that Qi Rui did not know that the middle-aged man outside was gradually approaching the horse carriage.

The middle-aged man placed one hand on top of the carriage and with a light tap of his feet, he borrowed the strength of the carriage and lightly jumped onto the carriage.

The man in the carriage didn't immediately pull aside the curtains and enter the carriage. Instead, he half leaned on the carriage and pressed one side of his ear to the top of the carriage, not moving at all.

Seeing this, Ming Huan did not urge them any further. Instead, he leisurely sat on the carriage, and occasionally observed his surroundings to see if anyone else had come over.

"Strange, why did it feel like the carriage moved just now?" Qi Rui frowned and felt it for a bit. He realised that he did not feel it again and felt that he was probably too nervous, causing him to hallucinate.

"There were two sounds of breathing, only one sound of footsteps, and one sound that seemed to be suppressed."

The middle-aged man leaned on the carriage and listened attentively for a while before quickly getting up. After connecting the words he had just heard with what he had heard, he analyzed the situation within the carriage.

Since there was only one person, it was easier to deal with the middle-aged man.

But... Didn't they say there were two women? There should be at least three people in the carriage, then. Why were there only two?

The middle aged man thought about what Ming Huan had told him before and could not help but frown as he thought about it. If the two women started an internal conflict, then that would not be possible.

Moreover, the carriage needed a coachman to drive it. Ordinary women wouldn't be able to drive a carriage, but from the looks of it, there weren't any coachmen nearby. The middle-aged man inferred that there was another person in the carriage who might be that coachman.

After all, if one's heart was not good, they would definitely have some bad intentions when facing these two women.

"The person inside has heavy footsteps, so he probably doesn't know any martial arts. The possibility of him being a coachman is very high."

After making this decision, the middle-aged man had a plan. He decided not to wait any longer and directly went in.

Turning around, he gestured at Ming Huan to enter, and the middle aged man immediately lifted the carriage's curtain with one hand, with a glance, he saw Qi Rui and Wenren Ruoxi who was being suppressed, a total of two people.

The middle-aged man's deduction was not wrong!

"Who is it!"

Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, Qi Rui's face changed, he did not expect that someone would actually barge in.

He had no choice but to let go of Wenren Ruoxi and attack him together with the dagger.
