Su Qi, Chen Fan and others received the order and could have a good rest for seven or eight days.

Several people spent a day or two eating and drinking, and then spent another day or two going back to their own houses to deal with their own affairs. After that, they returned to the inspection office together, focusing on their practice and improving their strength.

Of course, several people did not forget to take time every day to train their ability to coordinate actions, such as collective assault, collective cover, collective escort, cover assassination, etc.

The few people are already very familiar with each other and have strong coordination skills. After strengthening training, the ability to cooperate with each other will be even stronger.

Eight days later, news came from the palace that His Royal Highness the Princess was going out and they were preparing to carry out the escort mission.

Several people came to the palace and met Zhao Yuanqi first.

Zhao Yuanqi first introduced the main content of this mission.

This time, His Highness the Princess will meet the delegation of Lu in a summer resort 120 miles away from the capital.

Su Qi and his team's mission is to protect their bodies.

This time, there were three forces protecting His Royal Highness. The most periphery was the elite of the military, who were responsible for the patrol and alert at the outermost periphery; then there were the people from the Golden Dragon Guard, who were responsible for the safety inside and outside the villa; the last force was Su Qi, Bai Ling, Chen Fan, and Zhu Gang.

They have been following His Royal Highness the Princess, guarding her body, and are the last line of defense.

"This is the map of the villa. You must take a closer look and then keep it in mind. Once something happens, you can react in time."

Zhao Yuanqi handed everyone a few pieces of paper one by one. Each piece of paper was a map. Su Qi picked up one and looked at it. It was very sketchy. Not to mention the accuracy of large-scale military maps, even ordinary travel maps are more accurate than this one. Basically, they just draw the general structure and direction, and there is nothing else.

"Eunuch Zhao, don't you have a more detailed and accurate map?" Su Qi looked at it for a while, feeling a little unwilling to give up, and asked Zhao Yuanqi.

"This has been specially drawn by the military. The map used to be rougher than this." Zhao Yuanqi quickly answered.

Su Qi looked disappointed.

After thinking about it, he said, "Eunuch Zhao, then you can see that this is great. Let's take some time first and go to the Summer Resort for on-site inspection."

"Okay!" Zhao Yuanqi nodded quickly: "I mean that, just take this opportunity to check the safety situation in the villa in advance."

Zhao Yuanqi could not empathize with Su Qi's demand for high-precision maps, but he was still very supportive of Su Qi's request for on-site visits.

After thinking about it, he said, "How about you wait for me a moment, and I will go back and inform Your Highness, and then I will go with you too."

"Okay!" Su Qi nodded.

Although Zhao Yuanqi is just an eunuch who specializes in serving His Royal Highness, at critical moments, he is actually part of the guardian force, so it is very necessary and important to let him familiarize himself with the route and terrain and know some of Su Qi and his friends' ideas.

Because Zhao Yuanqi had to follow him, Su Qi ignored the arrangement of carriages and horses.

After a while, Zhao Yuanqi smiled and said, "Your Highness agrees with my idea. Let's go, let's hurry up and go to the summer resort first."

A few people took the carriage first and went to a military camp in the outer city.

There were airships in the military camp, and several people left on airships.

A distance of 100 kilometers is not close or far. It takes one hour or two hours to ride a horse, but it takes a flight, especially the military airship, to ride a flight, it is much faster.

Of course, airships have no comfort.

But riding a horse is harder than riding an airship.

After a while, the airship slowly took off, adjusted its direction and gradually accelerated. Then, it flew up at lightning speed.

The one who drove the airship was a master of wind-type magical power in the military. His ability to control air was amazing, so the airship was not only incredibly fast, but also very stable. It didn't sway around, but it was much more comfortable.

In the afternoon of that day, the group came to the Summer Resort.

"That is where Your Highness receives the delegation of Lu State!"

As the airship slowly descended, Zhao Yuanqi pointed to a small island southwest and introduced with a smile.

Su Qi looked along the place where he pointed.

The scenery on the island is really beautiful, with small bridges, flowing water, birds singing and flowers scenting. At first glance, there are large areas of green shade dotted with gray or white buildings.

At this time, the heat waves were rolling in the capital, which were very hot, but here was another world, with a gentle breeze, a cool and comfortable mood, and even if the sun was shining, it was not stuffy.

Su Qi, Chen Fan, Zhu Gang, all three of them were watching them intently. Most people couldn't get into the Summer Resort. Even if they were them, they didn't have much chance to visit them on weekdays, so today they could feast their eyes. After they went back, they would be more bragging to the people they knew.

But Bai Ling closed her eyes and seized the time to practice. She was not very interested in these scenery.

At this time, the summer resort was very quiet and there was no lively atmosphere. However, because His Royal Highness the Princess was about to settle in, the guards were already stationed everywhere, and some palace maids and servants also came.

The airship descended slowly.

Instead of landing directly on the island, I landed on the shore and walked slowly along the built bridge.

Su Qi asked Zhao Yuanqi, "Eunuch Zhao, is it the request of Lu or the decree of His Highness to choose this place?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanqi quickly replied: "The mission of Lu State sent a public letter saying that the weather was hot recently and their bodies were a little overwhelmed, so they asked if they could change to a cooler place. His Royal Highness thought about it and set the location here."

Su Qi frowned when he heard this.

Choosing this place for negotiations seemed to be all Jin Xiyue's idea, but for some reason, he had a vague feeling that all of this was the result of the secret arrangement of the Lu delegation.

After thinking about it, he leaned closer to Zhao Yuanqi and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Zhao, do you think that choosing to meet here is the result of the intentional operation of the Lu delegation?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Yuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He looked at Su Qi, and then asked in a low voice: "What do you mean is that the delegation of Lu may be doing bad things here?"

After hearing this, Su Qi nodded and said, "Of course, maybe I'm too careful, but to ensure the safety of Your Highness, I think we must kill all the adverse factors in the cradle, so we have to consider every possibility. If all of this is just our own arrangement, that's great, and there will definitely be no problem, but if all of this is the result of the secret efforts of the Lu delegation..."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanqi's face gradually became serious.

He thought about it carefully, but it was okay if he didn't want it, but the more he thought about it, the more scary he became.

First of all, the delegation of Lu had already entered Chu. Although something happened before and they deliberately delayed it, according to general inference, they should have arrived long ago. But they kept dragging it until this time, when the capital of Chu was the hottest time of the year, and it seemed that it was natural for them to make a request to escape the summer heat at this time.

There are naturally many places to escape the summer heat near the capital, but it can be used to receive a delegation from a country - later, Lu State sent another envoy, and that envoy had a higher status - so if you want to receive the same reception, the summer resort is the best choice, and you can only choose here, otherwise you can only go five hundred miles away.

Thinking of this, it seems that there is really a possibility that all of this is the result of intentional promotion by Lu State.

Could it be that the Lu delegation wants to do something wrong?
