Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Before dinner, Jiang Yuzhu met another group of people who were staying with him. The two leaders had very distinctive looks, one was a short fat man and the other was a thin bamboo pole.

The two people seemed to have a good impression of Yan Lin. They took Yan Lin to dinner and quickly gathered together for a drink.

After dinner, escort Xiao came to ask for instructions: "Madam, the medicinal materials we transported are worth thousands of gold, and it is not suitable to accompany other caravans."

Xiao Biaotou has been a escort for a long time and has encountered many strange things. He is wary of unfamiliar people.

"There are lessons learned from the past. The escort team that was traveling with us drugged the wine and knocked out a group of people, just to steal their property."

When Captain Xiao saw Mr. Yan having a drink with him, he couldn't hide his face and warned him.

Even if the two escort teams were on good terms, they would not choose to sleep together.

Jiang Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said: "It is necessary to be on guard against others, but if the other party treats us as fat sheep, they will definitely not give up and will always find opportunities."

Stay for now, if there is any trouble, you can take precautions in advance.

Hong Li sent escort Xiao away and asked doubtfully: "Did Mr. Xiao say it was too serious?"

The official road is not private, and there are many convoys passing by during the day, but nothing happens.

When away from home, we should take more care of each other.

Jiang Yuzhu pinched Hongli's face and said helplessly: "With your scheming attitude, you still have to help others pay after being sold!"

The red carp is not smart enough, but is better at being obedient and loyal.

Jiang Yuzhu curled her lips, slowly turned the tea cup, and sighed: "Red carp, let me ask you, what do you think of the short fat man and the thin bamboo pole?"

Hong Li thought about it carefully, and finally the guest officer commented: "It has a sense of proportion."

The people in that team didn't pry into privacy, and they knew what was taboo. This was just right and not offensive.

"Yes, you found the point."

The key is that there seems to be no problem.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at Hong Jin and said, "Hong Jin, come and explain to Hong Li."

Seeing that Hong Li was still a little puzzled, Hong Jin simply pointed out: "Since Short Fatty and Skinny Zhugan know that inquiring into privacy is a taboo, how could they not know that sleeping in the open with their companions is a bigger taboo?"

"Those two people said they were very familiar with the surrounding roads. They often traveled to and from Jiangnan for a long time. They couldn't possibly not understand the rules."

Hongxiu saw clearly and nodded on Hongli's forehead, "You, even if you can't figure it out, just remember one thing, it comes from your heart."

It doesn't matter that the short fat man and the thin bamboo pole are ugly. They look enthusiastic but are actually sinister. In short, you can tell by their eyes that they are planning.

On the first day together, they targeted Yan Lin.

The specific purpose remains to be seen.

"Hongjin, keep an eye on them."

After washing, Jiang Yuzhu quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a short, fat black figure jumped out of the opponent's motorcade not far away, and then the tall and thin figure followed. The two sneaked into the woods nearby.

Hong Jin jumped down from the tent lightly and quickly ducked into the woods to follow.

The two men ran far away and finally stopped at the edge of a river, where a woman was already waiting.

The surroundings were empty and she was afraid of being noticed. Hong Jin was not tracking her very close. From her angle, she couldn't see clearly the woman's appearance, but judging from her body shape, she was a middle-aged and beautiful woman.

"You two flew pigeons to send a message to the mountain. What did you do?"

The beautiful woman spoke gently and softly. Even when she was questioning, her tone was very soft, "Master said, if there is nothing important, we should have less contact with each other."

The short fat man looked very familiar with Huo and said with a smile: "We are looking for you this time because we have something good in mind for you!"

"Good thing?"

Mrs. Huo was dubious. She and her husband lived in a nearby mountain. They used to make a fortune by robbing houses. She was rescued by Lu Yunxi when she was in trouble. From then on, she devoted herself to serving her master.

The hilltop occupied by the Huo family is vast and is a hub between the north and the south.

There are tens of thousands of people hidden in the mountains, all of whom are private soldiers paid for by Lu Yunxi, just waiting to be used at the critical moment.

Because they are trump cards, Huo and her man act extremely cautiously on weekdays.

"Huo, are you sixteen this year?"

Shou Zhugan took the initiative to mention Huo's daughter, and Huo's eyes immediately showed a defensive look.

My daughter was not stupid when she was born. She had a high fever when she was a few years old. The couple went down the mountain to carry out robberies, but the treatment was not timely enough, which made her stupid.

At this point, Mr. Huo always felt that his daughter had taken the retribution for him, so he felt guilty and raised his stupid girl carefully.

Seeing that her daughter was sixteen, when it came time to talk about other people, the brothers on the mountain were all rough and rough, and Huo didn't like her, so it became a problem to choose a husband for the silly girl.

Shou Zhugan understands Huo's heart and wants to sell well.

"We have a suitable candidate. He is half of us. Even if the master finds out, he will not object."

The short fat man continued, "Yan Song's eldest son, the next head of the Yan family, is a doctor himself. He married Sha Ya, which can only be good for Sha Ya."

"Yes, it is said that Yan Chang often tinkers with strange medicinal materials. What if a silly girl uses them and becomes a fool?"

Thin Bamboo Gan added, painting a big cake for Huo, the magic powder cannot be exposed, Erlunzi must be strictly controlled.

If you can't kill him, then you can persuade Huo to kidnap him to the mountains and make him a son-in-law, so that he can be controlled.

Huo was very moved by what he said and hesitated: "Is this feasible?"

There are tens of thousands of private soldiers in the mountain, but there is only one doctor. If the son-in-law is also a doctor, it will be in line with Huo's expectations.

"Okay, why not?"

The short fat man and the thin bamboo pole worked together to persuade Huo to nod, "Yan Lin still has some aphrodisiac herbs on him. Go up the mountain to keep them and take care of Sha Ya. Sha Ya has someone to take care of you. Don't you feel relieved?"

Speaking of his weakness, Huo said firmly: "Okay, then I'll wait for your notification."

For the sake of my daughter, I kidnapped Yan Lin as my wife!

The three of them discussed the details again, and then left quietly.

Hong Jin stopped in place for a moment and followed Huo quietly.

The sky turned white, and Jiang Yuzhu slowly woke up.

Hongxiu poured some warm water and said in a low voice: "Madam, after Hongjin went out with the short fat man and the thin bamboo pole last night, she didn't come back all night."

"Are those two people back?"

Jiang Yuzhu wiped her face with a cloth, looking at ease.

Hongxiu nodded and said, "I'm back. I didn't see anything unusual."

"Then don't worry, Hong Jin must have noticed something and went to investigate."

Jiang Yuzhu told Hongxiu, "If anyone asks, just say I'm greedy and send Hongjin to buy food at the nearby market."

After a hasty breakfast, the group was about to set off when Hong Jin hurried back with a food box.

"Madam, I bought the marinated tofu brain!"

Hong Jin bought a lot, but couldn't keep the tofu nao, so she temporarily gave Xiao Biaotou and others extra food.

The tofu is topped with broth, finely chopped carrots and fungus. Jiang Yuzhu scooped up a spoonful of chili oil and saw a little bit of red oil floating on it, which whetted his appetite.

Hong Jin and others Jiang Yuzhu ate less than half of the bowl, found an excuse to reject the others, and reported back: "Madam, I followed the woman named Huo last night and made a major discovery!"
