The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 575: Protect the Young Lady

Yun Jiao now has only a couple of decent outfits, all made hurriedly by Lady Wu.

She changed into the begonia-red jacket she wore during the Lunar New Year, with Jiang Youzhi’s cloak draped outside.

She thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I could wear that cloak, it’s only slightly wet. Will Sanlang be cold without his cloak?"

Hui Xiang quickly replied, "Miss, don’t worry, the maids serving the young master will be more meticulous than us and must have brought him a change of clothes and cloak."

Yun Jiao thought this made sense, so she said no more.

The journey back to the city was only half an hour, and they soon reached the vicinity of the Niu Family Ridge.

Both Lin Shuo and Jiang Youzhi became alert.

At the time, all the guards were protecting the empty carriage, with only Lin Shuo and four guards following the carriage Yun Jiao sat in at the front, while Jiang Youzhi was beside the empty carriage.

The road was built along the foot of the mountain, and there was a big bend ahead.

The connected carriages had just turned the bend when suddenly a group of people charged down from the mountain.

This group had black cloths covering their heads, leaving only their eyes exposed.

At this moment, one of them looked at the carriages, then closely examined the guards’ attire, pointing to the tightly guarded empty carriage, "It’s that carriage!"

Everyone rushed toward that empty carriage.

The guards dismounted and drew their swords, fighting with these masked men.

Yun Jiao heard the commotion outside and dared not peek.

She hurriedly took out her silver needles coated with poison, a dagger smeared with sedative, itching powder, chili powder, and special tear-inducing herbal bundles.

She hid the silver needles in her sleeve, sheathed the dagger in her boot ready for drawing, and gave Hui Xiang and Cai Ping each a bag of chili powder, advising, "Be careful when using it, sprinkle it toward the enemy, and make sure not to get it in your eyes."

The vehicles ahead, hearing the noise behind, turned to see the fight, quickly protecting their own carriages, and the drivers urged their horses to run swiftly forward.

The driver of Yun Jiao’s carriage also hurriedly drove forward, with Lin Shuo and four guards following alongside.

Behind her carriage was an empty one, which was the same carriage she had ridden earlier.

And behind the empty carriage was Yan Pei’s.

As soon as these black-clad men appeared, Jiang Youzhi swiftly retreated to Yan Pei’s carriage and shouted, "Protect the young lady!"

Yan Pei had only brought four guards, she was asleep inside the carriage and suddenly woke to the noisy chaos outside, sitting up to lift the curtain for a look.

Many masked men quickly closed in on that empty carriage.

One masked man used a knife to lift the curtain and peek inside, only to find no one.

He hesitated for a moment, looked around, saw the carriages ahead running far, then noticed a head poking out from the window of a rear carriage.

It was an extraordinarily beautiful maiden.

Upon hearing Jiang Youzhi shouting "Protect the young lady." he then yelled, "There’s no one in this carriage, it’s the one behind!"

Dozens of masked men then charged toward the rear carriage.

Yan Pei screamed in fear, quickly pulling her head back inside.

The Duke Mansion’s eight guards surrounded Jiang Youzhi.

However, those masked men completely ignored them, focusing entirely on attacking Yan Pei’s carriage.

Their orders were to only injure guards and not harm others; they must return with that young lady unharmed.
