Jiang Yue also knew about this. Looking at Xue Yan’s intention, she agreed to let the quadruplets go. She had no objections. “Then let them go.”
“Other than the people under them, send ten cloud guards with them, just in case.”
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded and then instructed.
As soon as Liao Xiaodong, Liao Xiaoxi, Liao Xiaonan, and Liao Xiaobei received the Emperor’s edict, they immediately ordered the troops they led as deputy generals to rush to the border between Da Ling and Dongxiao. Then, they stationed themselves in the border camp and waited for the arrival of the Dongxiao Emperor and the diplomatic team.
The ten cloud guards also rushed over to meet up with them.
After a few days, when they saw the Dongxiao Emperor Qu Xiao, leading a large diplomatic group, they immediately became more alert.
They had come here to show their respect to Da Ling and to ensure the safety of the nine-year-old Emperor.
Once the Dongxiao Emperor entered Da Ling, the nature of what happened would be completely different.
Liao Xiaodong and the others went over to welcome them after they saw them enter Da Ling. They cupped their fists and bowed to the Dongxiao Emperor, Qu Xiao, who was in the carriage.
This wasn’t their own Emperor. They only needed to cup their fists to show respect and courtesy. There was no need to kneel.
The chamberlain opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing Qu Xiao.
Although he was only nine years old, he had a calm temperament and was a little cold. His appearance was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
They chatted for a while, and the way they talked was much better than Liao Xiaodong and the others had expected. It was very appropriate and had the bearing of an Emperor.
“Thank you.” Qu Xiao nodded again, and then the chamberlain put down the carriage curtain.
Liao Xiaodong and the others immediately arranged for people to escort them into Da Ling.
Liao Xiaodong led a group of men and horses to lead the way. Ten Cloud Guards followed Qu Xiao’s carriage on horseback. Naturally, Liao Xiaoxi and the others led their men and horses to the left, right, and back of the diplomatic team to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The diplomatic team from Dongxiao had not only brought light figures, they had also brought a large number of gifts for Da Ling. Many carriages were loaded, and the team looked like a long-winding dragon. There were also people walking outside of the carriages, so they were not going as fast as they liked.
After traveling for more than ten days, nothing happened.
Until…
When the diplomatic group’s convoy arrived at Juran, which was near Yiran, a large group of masked men in black suddenly rushed out. It was as if victory and defeat depended on this one move. Some held bows, some shot arrows, some drew sabers, and some held swords. The sabers flashed and the arrows flew like lightning. Fortunately, the Cloud Guards, Liao Xiaodong, and the others risked their lives to protect Qu Xiao, so he was safe and sound.
However, many people were injured, especially the members of Dongxiao’s diplomatic team. They had no choice but to stop their journey and find a nearby inn to let Qu Xiao and the members of the diplomatic team stay in.
To prevent any accidents from happening again, they were strictly guarded at every corner. They were surrounded like iron buckets, and not a single fly could fly in.
Those men in black did not capture anyone alive. They had come with the determination to die. That was why they were killed by Liao Xiaodong and the others.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground. Liao Xiaodong and the others asked the government to send someone to clean them up.
Before doing this, the Cloud Guards and Liao Xiaodong had already searched the bodies of the men in black, but they did not find any evidence to prove the identity of these men in black.
