Hearing Qing'er's cheerful urging, Mu Jin lifted the car curtain.

There is indeed a beautiful scenery on the top of Baishi Mountain. Not far away from them, there is a large green lake. In the near distance is clear lake water, and in the far distance are covered bridges and waterside pavilions.

From time to time, you can see a few birds on the lake. When the birds fly over the lake, ripples are gently created on the surface, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

Qing'er helped Mu Jin get off the carriage and walked slowly towards the lake with a smile on her face. Eleven, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but smile as he watched Mu Jin's eyes and eyebrows become even brighter because of his happy mood.

Suddenly the neighing of a horse broke the silence on the top of the mountain.

The three of them looked back and found that the carriage that went up the mountain with them did not stop after reaching the top of the mountain. The coachman was whipping the horses hard. The horses were neighing wildly because of fear and rushed quickly towards Mu Jin.

Judging from the posture, it was obvious that he was heading for Mu Jin.

Eleven's face was cold, and in a flash, he exerted force on his feet and jumped to Mu Jin's side. He hugged Mu Jin's waist with his arms and flew up with her.

Mu Jin felt her body lighten, and before she could react, she quickly landed next to her own carriage. Qing'er, who was taking food next to the carriage, reacted at this time and immediately went over to grab her arm and looked around.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Mu Jin pushed Qing'er aside and looked at Eleven.

At this time, Eleven had already flown towards the out-of-control carriage, grabbed the coachman's collar with one hand, and slashed him with a knife. The coachman was immediately knocked unconscious and was thrown off the carriage by Eleven.

At this moment, several masked gangsters suddenly jumped out of the carriage, holding machetes in their hands and looking ferocious. Three of them chopped at Eleven without mercy when they saw him, and the other two rushed towards Mu Jin and Qing'er.

Seeing this, Eleven's body turned into a meteor, and quickly shuttled between the three people. He cleverly dodged the masked man's machete and quickly flew back. His technique was extremely fast, catching the man in black off guard. In just a moment, the three gangsters in front of him were solved by him.

When Mu Jin saw the gangster running towards her, she quickly analyzed in her mind whether she should run or stay and fight the gangster.

In fact, she could barely handle it alone, but Qing'er had no martial arts skills at all. Mu Jin was not sure if she could protect Qing'er and at the same time split herself into two to fight the criminals, so she pulled Qing'er and ran down the mountain.

After Mu Jin and Qing'er had run a few steps, they found someone approaching quickly in the direction they were running.

Looking back, they saw that the two gangsters were very close to them, and Eleven had already dealt with the three gangsters in the distance and was flying towards them quickly. He kicked down the two gangsters who were about to approach Mu Jin with two kicks.

Mu Jin pulled Qing'er to stop. They kept gasping for breath and watched the fight between Eleven and the two gangsters.

Eleven faced two knife-wielding thugs, and even though he was unarmed, he killed them with every strike.

The two gangsters were forced to retreat step by step by Eleven after just a few moves. Eleven did not give the gangsters any chance to react. In the blink of an eye, the machete in the gangster's hand was kicked away by Eleven. The opponent was in a panic and was grabbed by Eleven. With a backhand, he cut the throats of the last two gangsters, and the gangsters fell down.

After dealing with the criminals, Shiyi immediately ran to Mu Jin. He was anxious to know if Mu Jin was injured. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Mu Jin was intact.

"I deserve to die for scaring you, young lady."

Mu Jin frowned and waved his hand to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Mu Jin walked over to the gangster and kicked him as he lay on the ground without breathing.

He looked up and asked No. 11: "Are these people coming for us?"

Eleven nodded and said, "I was careless. The carriage went out of the city gate with us. When I first noticed them, I stopped to observe them. At that time, they did not stop, but drove slowly along the road on the top of the mountain. I didn't see them until we reached the foot of the mountain. I thought I was overthinking it, but now it seems that they may have known our itinerary for today."

Only people from Prince Yun's Mansion knew about the three people's itinerary, and those in Cuizhu Courtyard were all Mu Jin's dowry, so they should not betray them. Apart from the fact that Shen Qianqian and her servant had been to Cuizhu Courtyard this morning, it was not known whether the maids had revealed their itinerary for the day when they were chatting.

Mu Jin sneered, "You are really willing to spend so much money to hire six people to kill me. It seems like they want me to have no chance of returning today."

After this disaster, Qing'er, with red eyes, immediately suspected Shen Qianqian. After all, in Shangjing City, Mu Jin seldom interacted with others, let alone made enemies with others, so apart from Shen Qianqian, she really couldn't think of anyone else who did this.

"It must be that bitch Shen Qianqian. We just wet her clothes this morning, and she sent someone to take our lives. How vicious."

The three watched as several gangsters were dealt with by Eleven in a short time. Their martial arts skills were average, and they were probably just warriors or bandits who helped people get rid of bad luck by paying money.

Thinking of Bi, Mu Jin stepped forward to see if there was any other useful information on the criminal, but was stopped by Eleven.

"Miss, there is no need to dirty your hands with such a dirty person. Let me do it."

As he spoke, Eleven checked the bodies of several gangsters one by one. When he checked the last gangster, he found that the gangster had Mu Jin's portrait and one thousand taels of silver on him.

When he saw this, Eleven was instantly filled with anger, but he quickly calmed down, turned around and handed the items he had found on the criminals to Mu Jin.

When Mu Jin saw his own portrait, he sneered, with an expression that said, "As expected."

Qing'er couldn't help but get furious when she saw this. She took two steps forward, cursing loudly and kicking the two dead criminals several times.

Mu Jin looked at Qing'er, who was usually good-tempered, and found it interesting to see her swearing and kicking the gangster, and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Mu Jin was still in the mood to laugh, Qing'er couldn't help but complain.

"Miss, you are still in the mood to laugh! They are here to kill you."

"If I don't laugh, do I have to cry? Wouldn't that be exactly what they want? I won't let them laugh at me!"

After that, Mu Jin told Eleven to report the case to the government office after going down the mountain. She wanted to make the matter bigger and let everyone in Shangjing know that the princess of Prince Yun's Mansion was almost killed by a traitor.

By this time, the three people had no intention of continuing to enjoy the scenery and planned to return to the city.

Eleven turned around to get the horse. When Mu Jin and his servant were not paying attention, he carefully folded the portrait of Mu Jin that he had found on the criminal and hid it in his lapel.

The three of them returned to the city. Mu Jin and Qing'er went to a teahouse near the yamen to rest first, and then Eleven went to the yamen alone to report the case.

After receiving the report, the people in the yamen immediately asked Eleven to take them to Baishishan to investigate the crime scene.

It was almost evening when Eleven and the prefect of the yamen rode into the city on horseback. Not far behind them were the bodies of five criminals lying on a cart. As soon as they entered the city, they attracted the attention and discussion of the common people.

The eleventh rider knelt on his horse to express his gratitude to the prefect.

"Lord Zhao, this time there is such a lunatic who dared to do such a cruel thing to the princess of Prince Yun's Mansion in broad daylight. The nature of this is really bad. Please make sure to investigate it thoroughly and give justice to Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as possible."
