Only then did Fu Xu let his men follow Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing.
However, once they left the city, Huo Wenqing stopped following them. Huo Wenqing wanted to lure Jiang Yue away from another direction, while Shao Shuting and Fu Xu’s men took a detour to ambush them halfway.
Empress Dowager Minde went to the temple to pray for blessings. With such a large formation, they had to slowly move as a unit. By the time Shao Shuting and the others had set up an ambush on both sides of the road, it would still take more than an hour for the team to enter their sight.
On the other side, Huo Wenqing could already see Jiang Yue from afar.
Their boss, Jiang Yue, was with Xue Yan, following the large group at a moderate distance.
The main group was not even halfway at their trap point. It was useless even if he lured her away right now. He had to be patient and be extremely careful with this plan. He did not dare to approach for the time being, afraid that she would discover him.
Because they were far away and Huo Wenqing knew that Jiang Yue was very careful, Jiang Yue naturally did not notice Huo Wenqing.
At this moment, Jiang Yue was only walking side by side with Xue Yan, following the blessing team at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
She and Xue Yan did not ride a horse because riding a horse was too conspicuous, and it was easy for the blessing team to discover them. Moreover, she and Xue Yan had drunk the water in the space, so they would not be tired after walking for a day. Moreover, the group that went to the temple to pray for blessings was moving slowly. They only needed to briskly walk to keep up.
He did not bring any of the Cloud Guards and the Dark Guards. They all stayed in the Imperial City in case something happened in the Imperial City or if Xue Wufu needed help. The two of them should be enough here.
Enough people were protecting Empress Dowager Minde in terms of numbers.
It was enough to show how much Fu Ying cared about Empress Dowager Minde. It also proved that their deduction was not wrong. In her previous life, Empress Dowager Minde had fallen into Fu Xu’s hands, and Fu Ying had no choice but to abdicate.
They were only halfway to the temple when noon arrived. The sky was starting to darken, so they would be able to arrive before sunset and ask Empress Dowager Minde to pray for blessings. The temple had already received the news and was already prepared for her arrival.
They set off early in the morning, so it was time for lunch.
Only after receiving Empress Dowager Minde’s permission did the troops dare to stop advancing.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hid behind the bushes. Seeing that the team had all stopped for lunch, they also planned to have lunch.
Jiang Yue put all the food and water into her space.
It wouldn’t be too late to take it out after they sat down.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan faced the praying group and planned to sit on the ground. This way, they could still notice the praying group and hide themselves behind the bushes.
However, before they could even sit down, they felt movement behind them.
Jiang Yue’s hearing was especially good, and she could hear many changes in the air.
Jiang Yue immediately turned around.
Xue Yan also turned his head.
In a place that was neither far nor far away, there was a person in the grass. Only his head was exposed, and the rest was behind the deep grass. They could not see whether the person was tall or short, fat or thin. They only knew that the head that was exposed was covered, and his eyes seemed to be staring at them sharply and closely…
“I’ll go over and take a look.” Xue Yan took his sword and planned to go.
“Let me go.” Jiang Yue pulled him back. “I’ll be back in a while.” She didn’t even wait for Xue Yan to speak and left.
No matter why that person was standing there, it was odd that they were staring at the two. Even if they looked over, he would still be there observing them. It was obvious that he was luring them over.
