Letting Zhang Liang attempt an assassination was, of course, out of the question!
Now that Jiang Yunsheng knew his plan, how could he possibly let him succeed?
Even if it failed to kill him, a hundred-and-twenty-jin iron hammer crashing down would destroy the carriage. If it happened to hit someone, his losses would be even greater. Everyone accompanying him now was a talented individual he had painstakingly selected!
So after learning of Zhang Liang's plan, Jiang Yunsheng had already sent five Shadow Guards to capture him.
With Jiang Nuan's tip, if they still failed to catch him, they might as well stop being Shadow Guards and go home to sell roasted sweet potatoes.
No, sweet potatoes had yet to become widespread in Great Xia. Better send them off to farm instead.
[Zhang Liang is lying in ambush on that mountain up ahead right now? We'll be there before long. We can't keep going!]
The procession was still moving slowly forward. Watching them draw closer and closer to the mountain where Zhang Liang lay in ambush, Jiang Nuan grew anxious.
"Ah! Father, my stomach really hurts. Can we stop here and rest?"
Clutching her stomach, Jiang Nuan spoke to Jiang Yunsheng with a pained expression.
"Nuan Nuan, are you all right? Should I have the Imperial Physician examine you?"
Seeing Jiang Nuan like this, Jiang Yunsheng instinctively grew nervous, but he quickly realized that she was deliberately stalling for time.
"No, there's no need. I probably ate something bad. I'll be fine after a little rest."
Jiang Nuan hurriedly refused. If the Imperial Physician examined her, wouldn't her feigned illness be exposed?
"All right, then we'll stop here for a rest."
Jiang Yunsheng nodded and ordered the procession to halt.
*[H-host, you don't seem to need to pretend to be sick.
