188 Lin Zhou: First Step of Their Plan 1 (2/2)

Xiao Fang felt relieved when she knew that they even helped her to this extent. ”Thank you! Meeting all of you is the best thing that has ever happened to me in this journey. All of you are also kind enough to help! Don't worry! I will repay you!” Xiao Fang made a promise to Yao Ling.

Yao Ling smiled. ”No need... no need...” She didn't dare to say that she helped her because they actually had the same goal --- to save Han Xiang and she felt that they didn't deserve to receive her gratitude. Truth to be told, Yao Ling felt a bit guilty. However, she tried to appease herself by thinking that it was fine as long as she didn't try to harm this innocent girl.

”Once there is news about Han Xiang, I will let you know,” Yao Ling said.

Xiao Fang nodded gratefully.

There was no news for the next two days. During those times, Yao Ling continued to give a treatment for Qing Hui. The man was still unconscious but under Yao Ling and Hei Yue's meticulous care, his condition was improving. Yao Ling estimated that she only needed two days extensive care and she could wake him up.

At that time, she would try to see his condition when he was already sober. If he was better and had a sane mind, she would allow him to stay conscious while receiving their care. If not, she had no choice but to make him unconscious once again.

Yao Ling didn't forget to give Yao Ying the matriarch's medicine at night. When she asked Xiao Yu, there were only two packs of medicine left. After hearing that, she felt relieved. If she admitted it, it was quite a hassle to prepare the medicine every night. After all, she didn't see any effects toward Yao Ying.

When their scout came back, they received the news that Han Xiang's entourage had been attacked by bandits and had a major loss. Fortunately, the woman was fine. However, the bridal dowries that had been prepared by the Han Emperor's had been robbed. It seemed like the bandits only cared about the treasures and didn't dare to touch the beauty.

They were quite surprised with this news, after all, how could bandits dare to attack a royal entourage in a broad daylight? But this matter indeed had happened! Fortunately, it happened on the Han Kingdom's border, so this didn't affect the Shu Kingdom the slightest. They bet the Han Emperor would be jumping up and down in anger! This matter would certainly make him lose face! He knew that he would become the laughing stock of the other two kingdoms.

The Han Kingdom couldn't even protect his own princess' bridal dowry... It meant that the bandits didn't put the royal in their eyes. Because of this matter, he already sent a decree and wanted Han Xiang to stay put at Lin Zhou, waiting there. The Han Emperor had to lower his head and asked for the Shu Emperor's permission despite his embarrassment.

They could only stay at Lin Zhou because it was the only city on the border between the Han and Shu Kingdom. There were only deserts at the Han Kingdom territory and the wedding entourage wouldn't survive the heat. The last city of the Han Kingdom was too far to reach from their position and there were a lot of casualties on their part.

The Han Emperor would prepare the new bridal dowry and sent it to Lin Zhou. After the bridal dowry had arrived at Lin Zhou, Han Xiang would continue her journey once again.

Xiao Fang was dumbfounded when she heard about the news from the trio. ”What?! How could bandits dare to defy the royal? If it's only a small entourage, it makes sense. However, this is a big one! They did a suicide mission!”
