After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 371: Sowing Discord Among the Assassins

"Are you okay?"

Ye Ruoruo quickly came closer, her eyes filled with worry.

Lin Rusi shook her head, and just as she was about to ask something, Li Jingyang's voice came from the carriage: "Be careful! There's an ambush!"

Lin Rusi immediately lifted the curtain to look, but as soon as she went out, she saw a lot of men in black standing outside the door.

Upon seeing this, Lin Rusi subconsciously widened her eyes, a hint of surprise in them.

How did these people catch up so quickly? They've already arrived.

"Your Highness..."

Lin Rusi frowned. Although she had been prepared, she hadn't expected the danger to come so quickly.

"Asi, you stay in the sedan chair. Senior Sister Ye, please take good care of her."

After saying that, Li Jingyang lowered the curtain without hesitation.

Looking at the tightly drawn curtain, Lin Rusi wanted to look again, but Ye Ruoruo stopped her.

She instinctively covered Lin Rusi's ears, her face serious: "Don't listen! Don't look! Don't care about anything!"

Ye Ruoruo wasn't very strong, but Lin Rusi couldn't budge her hand an inch: "Senior sister, why..."

"Listen to me! Stay put!"

Lin Rusi simply couldn't persuade her with such a determined look.

Moreover, he wasn't as strong as Ye Ruoruo, so he had no choice but to give up.

She slowly closed her eyes, trying her best to ignore what was happening outside the sedan chair.

Furthermore, she knew that Li Jingyang had already organized the team before coming and brought a lot of guards, so if nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to resolve the situation smoothly.

But thinking this way, she couldn't help but feel worried.

But now there's an assassin, isn't that an accident?

Lin Rusi couldn't shake off her anxiety, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Before Ye Ruoruo could react, it had already swiftly escaped from her grasp.

Meanwhile, the two factions outside the carriage had already started fighting.

Lin Rusi suddenly appeared and immediately saw several men in black entangled together, looking fierce.

This is so strange.

Aren't they all assassins?

In his daze, Li Jingyang also noticed Lin Rusi's figure.

He swung his sword past the person in front of him and began to fight with them.

Sensing danger, Lin Rusi rushed over: "Your Highness, be careful!"

With just one sentence, the attention of all the assassins shifted to Lin Rusi.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Lin Rusi's mind raced, and she quickly realized what was happening.

People say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but Lin Rusi felt that she hadn't become stupid; on the contrary, her mind had become much sharper.

Especially when I saw those people fighting together, my mind became even clearer.

They must not be from the same group of people.

A sudden inspiration struck her, and Lin Rusi immediately grabbed Li Jingyang's hand, her eyes brimming with tears.

The change was so sudden that even Li Jingyang was caught off guard. He paused for a moment and asked, "Asi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Rusi winked at him, a sly glint in her eyes, when no one was watching.

"Your Highness, didn't you say they were our people? That they were just pretending to assassinate us to lure out the person behind it all? How come they were injured?!"

Lin Rusi looked excited and deliberately raised her voice to say these words.

Upon hearing this, the men in black, who were engaged in combat, paused in their movements and immediately looked warily at those around them.

Immediately, Lin Rusi covered her mouth.

She feigned fear, as if she had let something slip.

At this moment, Li Jingyang also came to his senses and immediately put on an annoyed expression: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not true, go back to your carriage!"

Lin Rusi felt even more wronged after being scolded.

She didn't say anything, but was led by the guards to the carriage.

And just as she turned around, she heard it.

The lead guard advised, "Sir, something's not right! No wonder that Night Cat Clan member didn't disembark from the carriage earlier. Could there be a traitor among us?"

Clearly, they had begun to distrust each other, and for a time, even people from the same faction maintained a certain distance from each other.

They had originally sent two teams of assassins, so upon hearing this, they naturally suspected the other party.

"Well, I didn't expect that you people would break the rules of this industry."

"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who broke the rules!"

"We can't go undercover as villains in this line of work! What are you doing if not breaking the rules?"

"You're just spouting nonsense! Where's your evidence? I think you're the one who's infiltrating!"

……

As they argued, the two groups actually started fighting.

Lin Rusi lifted the curtain and watched with amusement.

But she dared not delay the important matter. She quietly lifted a corner and waved in Li Jingyang's direction: "Your Highness, run now."

She spoke in a low voice as she helped Ye Ruoruo with her luggage and secretly got off the carriage.

Nowadays, setting off with a horse-drawn carriage would attract too much attention.

Li Jingyang, carrying Ye Qing, and the others used their lightness skills to leap into the air.

Before long, while they were fighting like dogs, he left this place of trouble.

The group fought to a standstill, resulting in mutual destruction.

No one benefited from the other's actions.

Exhausted, everyone had no choice but to temporarily cease hostilities.

"Cease fire! Cease fire! Let's stop fighting! If this continues, all our brothers will perish here!"

Seeing that neither side could gain an advantage over the other, he snorted coldly but did nothing more.

However, while they were resting, they were surprised to find...

The once empty forest now only had a carriage, and Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang were nowhere to be seen.

Damn it!

This time, the guard finally realized what was happening.

The two groups exchanged a glance, seeing the hatred in each other's eyes, but also realizing they had been tricked, and immediately gave chase.

By this time, Lin Rusi, Li Jingyang, and the others had already disappeared using their light-footed skills.

Upon arriving at the next stop, Ye Qing immediately bought a carriage and horses.

"We must hurry! It seems those people have tracked our movements!"

Li Jingyang's expression was serious, and his eyes were extremely cold.

They shouldn't have made a move at this time.

"Not today..."

Lin Rusi stopped mid-sentence, not finishing her sentence, as she had an idea in her mind.

But the idea was too audacious, and she felt uneasy about it, so she naturally dared not say it aloud.

"I'm afraid we won't even reach the capital. Someone will try to intercept us. Only if they can confirm the rumors that I intend to rebel will that person give up."

"Then why are there two groups of people here?" Lin Rusi asked again.

Everyone fell silent in response.

There are too many people who want Li Jingyang dead, and too many people who don't want them to return to the capital. Perhaps these two factions are just the tip of the iceberg.

"Your Highness, we must return to the capital as soon as possible. It will be safer once we are back in the capital!"

The capital city is also a place of tigers and wolves. The emperor is so wary of Li Jingyang, this is probably a trap.

Once back in the capital, these assassins could no longer act with such impunity.

Considering Lin Rusi, Li Jingyang still arranged a carriage for him when he left the town.

There was some hesitation in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but didn't. Lin Rusi saw through it at a glance.
