Hearing that it was about the emperor, Jiang Dahai didn't say much. He seemed to think that this was not a good thing and added, "When you go out, be safe and take care of yourself."

Jiang Qingyi nodded.

The next morning, Zhao asked the maid to prepare some dry food for Jiang Qingyi and pack some clothes.

Jiang Qingyi was a little surprised when she received the things. She didn't know why Zhao's attitude changed, but she didn't care anymore.

Jiang Qingyi did not accept the things prepared by the maid. She only prepared a small bag as a disguise.

Outside the city gate, the emperor sent people to wait there.

Jiang Qingyi took a horse from Wang Fu and left the capital.

When they reached a deserted place, Jiang Qingyi put the horse into the space and flew directly towards the northwest.

Jiang Qingyi stopped a few hundred miles away from the border and went there in an ordinary way. She also planned to see the world's attitude towards Nan Jing.

She was wearing a goose yellow dress and her hair was casually tied up, dressed like an unmarried woman, with no decorations on her body.

But that extraordinary temperament makes people unable to help but look sideways.

Because she was strong enough and was willing to accept her identity as a woman, she did not disguise herself.

The road she took was the only official road leading to the northwest. The Ministry of Revenue took this road to deliver supplies to the troops stationed there.

Originally, the northwest was mostly desert, and few people went there except for caravans.

But Jiang Qingyi was riding slowly on her horse, and from time to time she could see people riding horses or taking carriages passing by.

At noon, Jiang Qingyi rode her horse to a tea stall.

There are only four tables in the teahouse, and most of them are full of people. The owner of the teahouse is busy.

Jiang Qingyi tied the horse to a tree outside, went in, found a good spot and asked the people around him, "Is anyone here?"

Those people all looked at Jiang Qingyi, with surprise flashing in their eyes.

Not only the people at this table, but also people at other tables were looking at Jiang Qingyi, and they had different thoughts.

After Jiang Qingyi sat down, the proprietress came over and asked, "Miss, would you like some tea?"

"Give me a bowl of water."

"Okay, I'll be up soon."

The three people at the same table looked at Jiang Qingyi curiously. One of the women couldn't help but ask directly, "Little sister, you look young, why do you go out alone? Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"

Jiang Qingyi said expressionlessly, "The bad guys can't beat me."

Zhong Yiling looked at the two men traveling with her in confusion. They all thought Jiang Qingyi was joking and did not believe what she said.

"My name is Zhong Yiling, this is Qin Haomiao, this is Gao Shi, we are going to Fuli Town in the northwest, what's your name, girl?"

"Jiang Qingyi, I'm going to the northwest too."

Hearing that Jiang Qingyi was also going to the northwest, Zhong Yiling instantly became interested, "Sister, you are going to the northwest too, are you going to look for the immortal cultivator Nan Jing? We have seen quite a few people from Nan Jing in the past few years, but no one knows where Nan Jing is. Now that a city has appeared in the northwest, many people speculate that it is the mysterious Nan Jing, so we want to join in the fun."

"Why do you want to go to Nanjing?" Jiang Qingyi asked casually.

"Well, who doesn't want to go nowadays? Cultivating immortals can lead to immortality. There is no one who doesn't want to live longer." Zhong Yiling said with a smile.

"Indeed, there are only a few people in this world who don't want to live forever." Jiang Qingyi agreed with her words.

The proprietress brought a bowl of tea to Jiang Qingyi. Jiang Qingyi picked up the bowl, took a sip, and put it down. Then she said nothing.

Not all the people in the tea stall looked friendly. A sturdy man with a big knife who came behind Jiang Qingyi saw that there was no seat left, so he found a weak person and took his seat in a very vicious way.

Jiang Qingyi just frowned slightly when she saw this, and didn't interfere.

Zhong Yiling complained quietly, "The butcher knife is still the same as before. I don't know when someone will give her a beating."

She broke off a piece of dry biscuit in her hand and ate it with tea for lunch, and the other two did the same.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyi had no intention of eating, Zhong Yiling wanted to share half of the pancake with her, but Jiang Qingyi refused and she didn't say anything.

Jiang Qingyi sat down, drank the tea in the bowl, paid a few copper coins and walked out.

When a few people in the teahouse saw Jiang Qingyi leave, they looked at each other, nodded, paid their bills and prepared to leave.

Zhong Yiling became a little anxious when she saw this. She didn't want Jiang Qingyi, such a beautiful girl, to be persecuted, so she urged the other two to finish their meal and leave quickly.

Jiang Qingyi rode her horse and walked out of the tea shed for a distance when she found a few little tails following her. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly and pretended to be ignorant.

Scar and his four brothers followed Jiang Qingyi with ill intentions. Ah Hu said to Scar, "Boss, this girl looks like she came out alone. She has thin arms and legs and is pretty. I don't know how she got here."

"That's right. That face is prettier than any girl in a brothel. I don't know what it feels like."

Scar frowned, "Useless, we are decent people, we only rob her for money, not for her body, so pay attention to me, this girl can come here by herself, maybe she has some ability."

After walking a long way, Scar and the others still hadn't made a move. Jiang Qingyi couldn't wait any longer and stopped directly.

The people behind him also stopped. Scar felt that this was the right time, so he waved to the others and said, "Let's go together."

Jiang Qingyi looked at the people rushing towards her as if she was watching in slow motion. She was too lazy to take out her weapon. She sat on her horse and leisurely raised her right hand, which then floated towards those people.

Within ten seconds, Scar and his men were wrapped in spiritual power and turned into caterpillars hanging upside down in the air.

Scar and his men knew that they had hit a very thick iron plate and began to beg for mercy.

"Fairy, spare my life!"

"Spare my life!"

"We were wrong, please let us go..."

Jiang Qingyi didn't even bother to take these people's lives, but she still had to teach them a lesson. She used her spiritual power to pull a few caterpillars, hung them on the trees on the roadside, and then rode away slowly on her horse.

She didn't tell them that they could come down in an hour.

When Zhong Yiling and his companions arrived here, Jiang Qingyi was nowhere to be seen. Only Scar and his companions were hanging on the tree, exposed to the cold wind.

Qin Haomiao was also shocked when he saw this. He pointed at Scar and the others and said, "Could this... have been done by Miss Jiang?"

Gao Shi didn't see it with his own eyes, so he still couldn't believe it, so he guessed, "Maybe some chivalrous man saw injustice and came to the rescue. That girl doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing!"

Zhong Yiling waved her hand and said, "Just wait for me to go and ask."

After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Scar and his men. Before she could say anything, Scar and his men shouted, "Help!"

"Help, lady!"

"Put us down now!"

"Help!"
