Chapter 450 The Enemy Behind the Scenes

The attackers looked like bandits, but a careful investigation would reveal that these black-clad bandits were not ordinary people. They were organized and had extraordinary skills. Their numbers clearly outnumbered the Yue family guards who had originally escorted them. If it weren't for the support from behind, the fight would have been more difficult and the casualties would have been more serious.

Moreover, the fact that the captives committed suicide by taking poison at the end gave people a clue.

Is there any bandit who, after being captured, did not beg for mercy but committed suicide by taking poison?

But this is not the time to go into details. After sorting things out, we will set off again.

Yang Guang had the carriages carrying things adjusted, leaving a few empty for the seriously injured to ride.

In addition, some guards were left behind to deal with the bodies of their companions, and then they escorted the wedding procession and continued to head towards Jizhou.

The people of the Guo family didn't dare to say much, just followed obediently and hurried on their way.

The driving speed this time was much faster than before, and it was a bit bumpy, but no one had any objections. Everyone was eager to leave here as soon as possible.

The wedding procession moved quickly across this bloody land. The wheels and horses' hooves were stained with blood, adding a touch of bloody red.

They hurried along the way, but fortunately they didn't encounter any more problems. In the evening, they entered the territory of Jizhou. However, it was still two days' journey from Guangping City, where the main residence of the Yue family was located.

At night, we still stayed at the official inn.

Because there are almost twice as many guards now as before, the defense is tighter and not even a fly can get in. This is already the territory of Jizhou, under the control of the Yue family, and the surrounding area is much safer.

Perhaps because of what happened today, after arriving at the post station, everyone in the Guo family behaved much more obediently. Even Guo Jiamei became very silent and didn't dare to make a noise, even though the dinner was still so plain.

After Si He finished her dinner, she sat in the house, holding the bone beads, thinking about the attack during the day and what happened at Yue Fuli's place a few days ago.

Although Chief Yang said that these people were bandits, she didn't really believe it.

The skills of those men in black today were different from those who had attempted to attack her and killed her in the woods before. It seemed that they might be two different groups of enemies.

Yue Fuli was just a concubine's son of the King of Eastern Han. Although he held some power, he was not a legitimate son after all. Unexpectedly, he had quite a few enemies, and those who wanted to deal with him openly or secretly were all quite powerful.

And the monk who summoned ghosts at the post station before, I wonder if he is one of these two forces, or another enemy?

What has he been busy with recently that has attracted these waves of black hands?

Are all these people coming for her today? Do they simply want to capture her and embarrass him?

After all, on the surface, she was just a concubine's daughter of a merchant. She had never had any contact with the Yue family or Yue Fuli before. The only contact outsiders knew about was just rumors. He helped and saved her from the bandits, so he married her.

Whether in terms of identity or friendship, she seemed unimportant. She could not think of any other reason for the person behind the scenes except that he simply wanted to capture her and humiliate Yue Fuli.

Otherwise, why would they spend so much money and send out so many assassins, who would then decisively commit suicide after failing, leaving no one alive? Only assassins would be so decisive.

But it can also be seen that the enemy behind the scenes does not want to reveal his true identity and has reservations.

Combined with the information she had previously obtained from Yue Fuli's men, she always felt that the man in black today came from Jizhou, or in other words, from the Yue family.

It seems that the water of the Yue family is deeper than she knew.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the bone bead in her hand. The bone bead had been silent recently, and she didn't know why. It was often like this, sometimes working and sometimes not.

She sighed softly, wondering if he had returned to Jizhou and if he was safe.

The night passed peacefully and nothing happened, as if the previous "gangster" attack was just an accident.

The next two days were also peaceful, because the closer we got to Guang'an City, the more peaceful the nearby cities and towns were. On the official road, we could occasionally see officers and soldiers out on patrol.

Despite this, everyone in the Guo family was in a state of panic. It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day, when they arrived at the post station outside Guang'an City, that they finally relaxed and waited to go into the city to get married the next day.

That night, everyone in the Guo family had different thoughts and complicated emotions.

Especially Guo Jiamei and others, they suddenly couldn't sleep. Although they were just concubines, they were still curious about their future husbands.

Especially Guo Jiamei, she learned from her eldest brother that Yue Fuli was a handsome and elegant young man, otherwise she would not have agreed to this marriage so readily.

The only pity was that besides the fact that he was a bastard's son, she had to marry him as a concubine. At this moment, she only hoped that after her elder brother arrived at the Yue family, he would be able to facilitate the matter of getting a concubine as soon as possible.

She sat on the edge of the bed and asked for a bronze mirror to look at herself. The redness and swelling on her face had subsided a lot, and if she had put on makeup, it would not be visible at all.

The three illegitimate sisters beside her saw her actions and couldn't help but look at her with different expressions. Guo Jiaqing even revealed her contempt without concealing it. In terms of appearance, she was the most outstanding among the four of them, and she was at the bottom. What was there to take a photo of? Could looking in the bronze mirror more often make her more beautiful?

Among the sisters of the Guo family, the legitimate daughters have always had the worst appearance. After all, the mistresses all come from families of some status, and appearance is not very important. Concubines are not so particular, and most of them are relatively beautiful, so the daughters born naturally look like their mothers.

"Guo Jiaqing! What are you looking at?!"

Guo Jiamei noticed Guo Jiaqing's contemptuous look and immediately became angry, calling him by his name.

Guo Jiaqing snorted coldly, ignored her, and went to bed, intending to rest early so that she could marry into the Yue family in the best possible manner tomorrow.

Seeing her like this, Guo Jiamei gritted her teeth, but after a while, she endured it and decided to deal with her later!

Some people couldn't sleep at night, and neither could Si He, because tomorrow was the wedding day. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous, but more of it was anticipation.

When they arrived at the post station in the afternoon, Yang Guang sent his men into the city first. In the evening, the men came out of the city. Everything went well. It seemed that Yue Fuli was already in the city and the wedding could be completed smoothly tomorrow.

Originally, she thought the wedding would not go smoothly because he had delayed the wedding due to other things.

After a night, Si He was urged to get up and dress up at dawn.

A group of maids and nannies were busy around her, and they didn't finish cleaning until the sun rose.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the bright sunshine outside, and couldn't help pursing her lips slightly. It was really bad weather.
