Chapter 308 Assassination

"Aiyaya. What is this supposed to do?" Chu Chouli looked at the secret letter in his hand and cried out in surprise.

Xu Han stroked the black cat in his arms and frowned. "Meng Liang has been leaving with Fang Ziyu for some time. If they had walked faster, they would have already arrived in the Nether Continent by now. I only hope that Meng Liang is alert enough."

"That won't do." Chu Chouli waved his hand repeatedly, "Prince Zhao Chu of You Prefecture has always been close to Long Ye Si's Zhu Fox, I'm afraid…"

"This news has just spread to Chang'an. Zhu Xian has great ability to send this news back to Zhao Chu in You Prefecture. I'm afraid it will take some time. If Meng Liang gets the news, he will definitely be alert. Besides… it's up to them now." Xu Han said in a deep voice.

Chu Chouli, on the other hand, heard something else from Xu Han's words. He looked at Xu Han in surprise, "Are you saying that Zhu Xian and the others only obtained this news?"

"Naturally." Xu Han nodded and pointed at the wax mark on the corner of the secret letter. "You see, the wax on this letter hasn't faded yet. It probably hasn't been opened for more than an hour."

Chu Chouli immediately remembered, "You mean that kid surnamed Song? He actually came here to spread the news for us."

Xu Han glanced at the stupid middle-aged man and nodded.

The middle-aged man was still unaware of this. He slapped his forehead and immediately shouted, "Should we quickly spread the news to Meng Liang?"

"No need." However, Xu Han shook his head. "I think he, Meng Liang, found out about the matter with the Chen Kingdom earlier than us. I only hope that he can handle it calmly."

After saying that, the youth raised his head to look at Chu Chouli and said with a smile that was not a smile, "If Big Brother Chu really has time, why don't you tell me the story of your eighteen years of age?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression immediately changed.

He stood up and said bitterly, "I haven't woken up yet. I'll go to sleep … I'll sleep again …" Then he fled the room.

…

Xu Han wasn't wrong. Meng Liang wasn't a fool. Being able to become the first disciple under the Throne of Thousand Autumns of Mount Li was something that Mo Chen valued highly enough to enter the Mausoleum of the Sword.

Meng Liang was naturally a very smart person.

However, one thing Xu Han had miscalculated was that no matter how smart a person was in this world, when they met someone they cared about, they would inexplicably become the biggest idiot in this world.

And Meng Liang was now such a fool.

Of course, he knew how terrifying Zhu Xian's revenge was. However, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that Fang Ziyu was the Empress of the Chen Kingdom, and that Zhu Xian would not attack her until there was the most practical evidence.

Therefore, on his way to the Chen Kingdom, he did not deliberately slow down, nor did he deliberately speed up his pace.

He enjoyed this last bit of time alone with Fang Ziyu. He knew that once he arrived in Chen Country, Fang Ziyu would be Chen Xuanji's. It was only after these few days had passed that they were able to reach the border between Liang Zhou and You Zhou.

"Ai, surnamed Meng, do you think I should wear this dress, or should I wear this dress to see someone surnamed Chen?"

At the junction of Liang Zhou and You Zhou, in a small shop called Wu Peng City, Fang Ziyu held two clothes and gestured in front of Meng Liang. He asked expectantly.

Meng Liang looked at the girl in front of him and sincerely said, "They are all beautiful."

"Then buy them all. The girl is so beautiful. It's always right to buy a few more clothes." The stall owner hurriedly echoed.

"Then I'll buy them all." Hearing this, Meng Liang made a decision without waiting for Fang Ziyu to respond.

"Thank you." Fang Ziyu also smiled happily.

Along the way, Meng Liang knew everything about Fang Ziyu's request. After packing up the clothes that the shopkeeper had handed over with a smile, they found a restaurant in the city and sat down to eat at the window.

"Do you think someone surnamed Chen doesn't recognize me?" Fang Ziyu thought that he would soon meet his sweetheart, so he was naturally very excited. But the shyness in the girl's heart, or the uneasiness she felt about the upcoming happiness, made it inevitable for her to ask such a stupid question.

"How could it be? Ziyu is so cute, it's too late for Xuanji to like him!" Meng Liang hurriedly said, looking anxious as if he wished he was Chen Xuanji.

However, Fang Ziyu, who was immersed in the anticipation of seeing Chen Xuanji, did not notice the strange appearance of this man in front of her. She said worriedly, "But he is now the emperor of Chen Country, and I…"

"Ziyu, don't worry. If Xuanji dares to let you down, I'll help you break his bones." Meng Liang said seriously.

When the girl saw this, she did not take it seriously. She only treated it as a joke of Meng Liang.

"You're the best." The girl smiled sweetly at him, causing Meng Liang's heart to tremble and he was stunned.

"Time to eat." Seeing him like this, the young girl thought that he was thinking of something else. She glanced at him with some reproach, and Meng Liang regained his senses.

…

Although this town was small, the food in the hotel had a different flavor. The two ate happily. Occasionally, Fang Ziyu would talk about interesting things in the Linglong Pavilion. Meng Liang listened carefully and seldom spoke, but the atmosphere at the table was extremely relaxed.

At this moment, the sound of wings spreading out came from outside the window.

Both of them were attracted by this voice and turned to look, only to see a white pigeon landing impartially on their dining table.

Before Fang Ziyu could exclaim in surprise, Meng Liang grabbed the white pigeon with a solemn expression.

"This is?" Fang Ziyu asked doubtfully.

"Chen Country's messenger pigeon, I'm afraid something big has happened here." Meng Liang responded in a deep voice. He was slightly worried about whether there was something wrong with the war against Great Xia.

Fang Ziyu was stunned. Obviously, she also thought of this matter. She urged, "Then hurry up and take a look!"

"Yes." Meng Liang nodded when he heard this and hurriedly took off the letter paper at the ankle of the white dove. He opened his eyes and looked at it.

When he saw the handwriting clearly, his expression changed and his expression became serious.

Seeing him like this, Fang Ziyu thought that something big had happened.

She didn't care about anything else, so she immediately turned around and looked up, only to see a neat line of handwriting written on the letter.

"Changwu Pass has won, and the Xia army has retreated."

"Your Majesty is married to the daughter of the Yan Clan's Clan Head. Quickly return."

Fang Ziyu was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. Her face instantly turned incomparably pale. Her body trembled and she immediately fell back to her seat.

At the same time, the drinkers in the hotel suddenly stood up and took out bright swords and swords from all directions, attacking the two of them like this.
