Prince Lu Wei sat in the carriage with his eyes closed . He knew that the amba.s.sador sent by his brother had been watching him throughout their journey to the border . But, the prince was too lazy to pay any attention to that elderly . His mind was preoccupied with the thought of escaping once they pa.s.sed through Da Cheng's border . He wondered if his grandmother would send people to help him escape .

"Your Highness," the Amba.s.sador could no longer bear the silence . They will cross over Da Cheng's border and entered Eastern Zhou, but the Prince has been ignoring him since he boarded the carriage . The Prince's att.i.tude was making him uncomfortable .

The Amba.s.sador expected that Prince Lu Wei would at least asked something regarding the situation in Qian Rong, yet, the Prince only spoke to him a few words when the Prince Lu Wei came to find him to discuss the plan to bring him back to Qian Rong .

Prince Lu Wei opened his eyes lazily and peeked at the amba.s.sador . "What is it, Amba.s.sador Nian?"

"Ah, Your Highness, are you comfortable?" Amba.s.sador Nian looked fl.u.s.tered as he did not expect the Prince to respond to him? "If you're feeling tired, then we can take a quick break before we cross the border and enter Eastern Zhou . "

The Prince lowered his head and sneered . "Forget it . We should continue . There are a few more days before we reach Qian Rong . If we didn't arrive in time, my brother might think that the Emperor of Da Cheng is keeping me as a hostage . "

The Amba.s.sador lowered his head . It was him who relay the message to the Emperor of Da Cheng that their Emperor would take it as Da Cheng keeping their prince as a hostage if Prince Lu Wei refused to return to Qian Rong with him .

Amba.s.sador Nian saw Prince Lu Wei shut his eyes again and sighed with relief . He flipped the curtains and peeped at the soldiers escorting them . The Amba.s.sador's eyes narrowed as he thought over why Da Cheng sent too many escorting soldiers . He calmed himself by thinking that, as Prince Lu Wei had stayed in Da Cheng for months, both the Emperor and Crown Princess of Da Cheng treated the Prince well during his stay . Naturally, they a.s.signed for many soldiers to honor the prince .

During Amba.s.sador Nian's stay in Da Cheng, he noticed how tight the security at the guest house where Prince Lu Wei was staying . He sent over his men to visit Prince Lu Wei in secret; however, his men would return to him black and blue .

Amba.s.sador Nian thought that it would be a challenge for him to bring out Prince Lu Wei from Da Cheng . He did not expect that Prince Lu Wei would look for him and announced that he wanted to return to Qian Rong .

The carriage stopped when it approached the border . Prince Lu Wei stepped down the carriage and thanked the escorting guards . Soon, he went back on the carriage with a deep breath . From then on, he will have to be on guard .

…

Jiang Xiao Tian watched as the troop sent by his brother retreated from Prince Lu Wei side and turned around towards the capital .

"Master, what should we do now?" one of the men around Jiang Xiao Tian asked .

Jiang Xiao Tian pondered for a while . According to plan, Jiang Xiao Xian's men will only escort the Prince until they reached the border and then, Jiang Xiao Tian's men from the secret service will continue to protect Prince Lu Wei until they entered Qian Rong .

"Send a message to the captain, Have them to camp nearby for a night," Jiang Xiao Tian said . "Tell the captain to come once when they catch a signal from me . But if they did not see anything, then they should return to the capital . "

"Master, you…"

"I will stay around until the Prince reached Qian Rong," Jiang Xiao Tian said . The Crown Princess had trusted him to continue to protect until Prince Lu Wei reached Qian Rong . He could not leave now .

The man stared at his master in disbelief . Then he nodded . "Understood," the man answered before he disappeared . The rest of his team members then followed after Prince Lu Wei's carriage along with Jiang Xiao Tian .

Based on Jiang Xiao Tian's observation, the men around the Amba.s.sador of Qian Rong were not too skilled . However, if Prince Lu Wei were to face them alone, he would be definitely at a disadvantage .

"Master," another man appeared by Jiang Xiao Tian's side anxiously . He nodded as a greeting and spoke, "I have something to report . "

"Speak . "

"There were two separate groups not far away from the direction where Prince Lu Wei is heading," the man said . "It doesn't seem like the two groups noticed the presences of each other yet . However, they will soon meet with the Prince's party in an intersection . "

"How many are they?" Jiang Xiao Tian asked .

"There were at least a dozen men and women in the group from the east side . And ten men in the group from the west side . "

Jiang Xiao Tian frowned . "Stay put for now . Don't act unless necessary . "
