The man''s voice was very small, but Du Xiaoli, who was three carriages away, heard it. She lifted her eyes and said, "it seems that she is really coming for us!"

    "Miss, why did someone assassinate us before we went to the capital?" Yingge asked.

    "It''s because we haven''t gone yet, but we''re going to the capital." Du Xiaoli said, "it''s in the way of others. Naturally, some people don''t want us to live."

    "Is that lady?" Xia yuan asked.

    "Who else can there be besides them? Who let the emperor give us the position of this legitimate son and daughter?" Du Xiaoli said. Although she doesn''t care about this legitimate son and daughter, this is also an affirmation of Su Suxin''s identity. They can''t stop!

    Yingge looked out at the assassins and said, "the people they sent are not enough for us to fill our teeth!"

    Du Xiaoli smiled. The assassination not only wouldn''t hurt them, but also exposed the mind of the one in the capital. Oh, cough, how could she compare herself to a snake!

    The bodyguard saw Yingge sticking out of the third carriage and Du Xiaoli inside, and said, "boss, in the carriage behind, I see the woman''s target!"

    As soon as the assassin''s boss heard this, since he was sure that Du Xiaoli and his entourage were here, he opened his mouth and said, "if you meet us, you don''t want to go there. Get on!" as soon as the assassin''s boss waved his hand, all the people in black behind him flew over from the horse and surrounded the four or two carriages in front of him.

    The curtain beside Du Xiaoli was always open, so she could see those people clearly. They will send someone here to intercept them. They must know their manpower and strength. Therefore, the strength of the people discharged is higher than that left by Du Yunhan, and the number is also higher.

    But they didn''t expect that after they came out of Fuyang, Du Xiaoli and the Meng family would go back together. Although she didn''t know the identity of the dream family, she found that their bodyguards acted quickly and neatly yesterday. At first glance, they were carefully trained. These assassins were unlucky to meet them.

    Sure enough, before the assassins approached, the guards of the Meng and Du families drew their swords to welcome them, leaving only a few to protect around the carriage.

    In fact, the guards of the Meng family were selected from the Royal Army, because the Meng family has an extraordinary position in the capital. Meng Bowen is the emperor''s teacher, and his son is also the teacher of the crown prince. Two generations of Taifu, who dares to provoke in the capital? The emperor must be respectful when he sees Meng Bowen, or he will be despised by the people all over the world!

    Meng Bowen went back to his hometown to visit the tomb during the Qingming Festival. Because he was not in good health, he didn''t return to Beijing until June. Knowing that the former Emperor''s teacher was going home, the emperor specially sent a guard to protect the line.

    So, these assassins are really unlucky!

    But no one thought the Du family would be with the Meng family, didn''t they?!

    Soon the assassins were solved. The leader saw that the situation was wrong and ran away early in the morning. When he ran away, Du Xiaoli saw that there was a mark on the back of his neck.

    "My Lord, it''s all handled," said Meng Bowen, the bodyguard.

    "The emperor''s feet dare to be so rampant. I must talk to the emperor and thoroughly investigate the matter! Cough..." Meng Bowen was so angry that he coughed behind him.

    "Well, you''re not in good health. Don''t be so angry." Mrs. Meng comforted, and then said to the people outside: "send someone to ask the governor of the capital to deal with these bodies. Let''s continue on our way."

    "Yes, old lady." the people outside answered, and then someone rode back to the capital first.

    It''s not far from the capital. If you ride fast, you can go back and forth in less than an hour.

    After a while, the carriage set off again, staggered forward towards the capital, and finally arrived in the capital before dark.

    When they entered the city gate, Du Xiaoli and the Meng family were about to separate. Before leaving, Mrs. Meng took Du Xiaoli and said, "Xiao Li, you see, my father''s health is not very good. If there''s anything in the future, I''ll trouble you a lot."

    Du Xiaoli looked at Meng Bowen, who was much better in spirit, and said, "this is no problem, but Xiaoli has a small request."

    "Naturally, there will be no less money." Mrs. Meng thought Du Xiaoli wanted to say this and said.

    Du Xiaoli shook his head and said, "my request is not this, but to ask grandpa Meng to keep it a secret for me. Don''t tell me what I know about medicine."

    "That''s it?" Mrs. Meng asked.

    Du Xiaoli nodded, looked at Meng Bowen, smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa Meng will keep Xiaoli secret?"

    Seeing Du Xiaoli''s appearance, Meng Bowen stroked his beard, laughed twice and said, "OK, I''ll help you keep this secret."

    "Thank you, Grandpa Meng." Du Xiaoli said with a smile.

    "Where can we find you if there is something?" Mrs. Meng asked.

    "I don''t know where we are." Du Xiaoli has never been to the capital and doesn''t know where Du Yunhan''s nest is. She turned and looked at her team and shouted, "Changfeng."

    Changfeng came over and said, "miss." "where is my father''s nest?" Du Xiaoli asked—— Well, nest! Changfeng felt the cold sweat dripping from the back of his head and replied, "speak directly to Youxiang Du mansion, which is known by the whole capital." "Oh, I forgot!" Du Xiaoli also thought that in his previous life, he had to know which street and road to find someone. He forgot that his father is also a celebrity, and the mansion must be known by the public. "Aunt Meng, if you need anything, just send someone to find me at Prime Minister Du Cheng''s house." Du Xiaoli turned and said to Mrs. Meng. "It turned out to be prime minister Du''s children. It''s really good. Let''s go first and go back to see the old man when we have time, you know? Xiuheng, you come too." Meng Bowen always appreciated Du Xiaoli and Du Xiuheng. He was not too surprised to hear that they were Du Yunhan''s children and said goodbye to them with a smile. "Hee hee, we''ll see you when we have time. Goodbye, Grandpa, grandma and aunt Meng!" said Du Xiaoli and Du Xiuheng, and then stepped back to let their carriage pass. When they all left, Du Xiaoli asked, "brother, do you know where they live?" Du Xiuheng shook his head and said, "I don''t know, you don''t know?" "I don''t know either." Du Xiaoli said. "Didn''t you have a good time talking with them after dinner last night? You made them laugh in their room and didn''t go back so late. Didn''t you ask?" Du Xiuheng asked. "Cough, I forgot," said Du Xiaoli. "Forget it. If you encounter it in the future, even if you can''t meet it," Du Xiuheng said. He also thought Meng Bowen and them were very good, but they had only known each other for one day and didn''t have such deep feelings.
