The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Originally, this street was relatively remote and sparsely populated. Suddenly, a large group of beggars jumped out from the alleys on all sides and rushed over in a hurry.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Kui knew something was wrong and shouted, "This is the general's carriage, how dare you stop it!"

The leader was an old beggar. After leading many beggars out, he stood behind the drunkard, who fell to the ground drunk.

"Did everyone hear it, right? This is the general's carriage! The people on the carriage must be rich! The government doesn't care about our lives anyway, so it doesn't matter if we rob some money!" The leading old beggar instigated loudly.

A large group of beggars immediately became restless.

Yu Kui realized that something was wrong and immediately sent someone to go around the carriage and go to the general's mansion for help.

Although it was extremely tempting, this was the general's carriage after all, so the beggars did not dare to act rashly. One of them asked quietly, "But, but this is the general's carriage. No, no matter whose general it is, we can't afford to offend him!"

Although the old beggar's words were very touching, he still had some concerns. This was the general's carriage, and it would be bad if something went wrong.

"What are you afraid of? We are not going to do anything to her. We just want some money. After the matter is done, the master will naturally take care of these matters for us." The old beggar whispered viciously.

Seeing that the name of the General's Mansion was useful, Yu Kui immediately said, "You better think about it. This is the carriage of General Pu Wei's Mansion. Even if you blocked someone else's carriage today, our general can still hand you over to the authorities for investigation!"

The old beggar was startled and panicked. He stared at Yu Kui and asked the drunkard in a low voice, "What's going on? She is from General Pu Wei's mansion? Why didn't the master tell us?"

"Why are you panicking?" The drunkard scolded in a low voice, his eyes were clear, he didn't look like a drunkard at all, "She is the only one in the carriage now, even if you go find General Pu Wei, it will be too late, you can just rob her and leave."

The old beggar was somewhat persuaded, but still hesitant.

"Miss, you'd better run first! These people must be deliberately blocking us here! You go first, the general will be here soon!" Yu Kui took two steps back and whispered to Xia Yanxiang in the carriage. As long as Xia Yanxiang left first, those people would have no target and Xia Yanxiang's reputation would be preserved.

Xia Yanxiang had originally had this idea, but now the road ahead was blocked. The other party would definitely not let her escape easily. I'm afraid there were also people behind her: "Don't worry, you still have some banknotes in my carriage. You can negotiate with them first and see if you can bribe them with money."

"If you are willing, our master is willing to give you two thousand taels to let you go. Otherwise, when the general comes, the master will not speak for you." Yu Kui seemed to be using both kindness and force.

The beggars were indeed a little shaken. After all, if Xia Yanxiang gave them the money and they took it and left, Xia Yanxiang would not bother them again. After all, if they troubled them, wouldn't it be announced to the world that her reputation was damaged?

But their master is different. He didn't tell them who the target was from the very beginning. Now that they are in trouble, the master certainly won't stand up to protect them.

"What's two thousand taels?" The drunkard saw that the old beggars were a little shaken, and said coldly, "After the matter is done, General Pu Wei will naturally be busy protecting her reputation, so why would he think of arresting you? Besides, since the master has asked you to do the work, he will naturally take care of the aftermath for you."

The old beggar hesitated for a long time, but finally he seemed to have made up his mind and said to the group of beggars, "Go ahead. Fortune and wealth come with risk. After all, the master has promised us. The person on the carriage has not said anything. If she is lying to us, it will be bad. What's more, the master is more powerful than this person. After the matter is accomplished, we will naturally gain nothing but benefits."

Yu Kui was anxious. This place was not far from General Pu Wei's mansion. Why didn't this boy come back yet?

Just as the beggars were about to rush forward, Xia Yanxiang suddenly heard an unexpected voice.

"Who dares to stop the carriage of General Pu Wei's mansion? Is it because General Pu Wei is fighting in the north and has protected you too well?!" His words were intimidating without even being angry, and the person who came was actually Mo Yuchen.

Xia Yanxiang loosened her grip on the hairpin. The hairpin had already cut her hand, but she finally felt relieved.

Mo Yuchen originally wanted to wait for Xia Yanxiang to leave for a while before leaving, but unexpectedly a secret guard brought a message saying that someone was preparing to block Xia Yanxiang on the road.

Mo Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that no one would know about their meeting, but someone deliberately tried to block Xia Yanxiang after she left the house. It seemed that they wanted to attack her reputation.

After hearing this, Mo Yuchen came over at full speed. It was obvious that Mo Yuyang had done this. It seemed that if he couldn't get it, he would have to destroy it!

Mo Yuyang appears to be kind on the surface, but in fact he is somewhat sinister and has done countless dirty things in secret.

It's his style to do this.

Xia Yanxiang did not bring many guards when she went out. It was also her fault that she forgot that today was an unusual day. If she had remembered, she would definitely not have come to the appointment today.

Just in this way, Mo Fuyang was given an opportunity. This could be considered as Mo Fuchen's fault, as it was he who gave Mo Fuyang this loophole.

The group of beggars did not see the people in the carriage, but they recognized the man riding the tall horse. It was His Royal Highness Prince Luo.

For a moment, they were so flustered that they started to whisper to each other. The old beggar asked hurriedly, "What should we do? Why is His Royal Highness Prince Luo here too?"

The drunkard didn't expect that the news he received was that His Royal Highness Prince Luo had gone out of the capital for an outing, so how could he suddenly appear here?

"Is the Third Miss okay?" Mo Yuchen asked across the carriage as he rode his horse to Xia Yanxiang's side, and also told those people the identities of the people in the carriage.

Xia Yanxiang's calm voice came from the carriage: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Prince Luo. I am fine."

The beggars were immediately shocked: "Miss San? The person in the carriage is General Pu Wei's sister?"

"What? Didn't the people who sent you here tell you that the person in the carriage is General Pu Wei's biological sister? If the general knew about this, do you think your family assets would be completely emptied out?" Mo Yuchen said expressionlessly, but in fact, he was already filled with anger. "General Pu Wei has only this one biological sister. Do you think he would expose your master for this sister?"

Xia Zhibai was a hot-blooded man who became famous in one battle. Countless noble families in the capital wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he only had eyes for the daughter of the Li family in Jiangnan. For this, he almost turned the entire capital upside down.

Now he only has this one sister. If someone touches her, I'm afraid the whole capital will be in chaos again.

"Da da da!" A burst of hurried horse hooves sounds came from behind.

"Yan'er!" It was Xia Zhibai.

Now the beggars were even more panicked. They were caught in public by Xia Zhibai, and they were afraid that their master would not have time to protect them.

The drunkard saw that things were not going well and immediately tried to sneak away, but was discovered by Mo Yuchen, who immediately called out, "Yizhu, arrest this man immediately! Come on, surround all the people and don't let any of them escape!"

"Yes!" Yizhu immediately called for people and surrounded everyone.

Xia Zhibai was just about to go out, but he happened to see Xia Yanxiang's servant coming back. He immediately knew what was going on and came here in a hurry.
