After a day and a night of journey, Shen Qingxu and his group finally reached the border of Qingzhou.

Shen Qingxu was drowsy in the carriage.

Lin Shuyao was holding a thin wooden stick and weaving some dark blue felt thread next to her. It was unknown what she was going to weave.

"Where are we?" Shen Qingxu yawned tiredly and asked the secret guard who was driving the carriage.

Maybe it’s because I was away from my sister during this period of time.

The farther away from the capital, the more restlessly Shen Qingxu slept.

I often wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes mumbling to myself.

"My dear, we have already left the territory of Qingzhou. In two days, we will reach our next stop, Linjing County."

Outside the carriage, the cold voice of the secret guard was heard, and Shen Qingxu shivered involuntarily due to the cold.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyao took out a small blanket from the package beside her, covered Shen Qingxu with it, and gave her her hot water bottle.

The journey was long and she was freezing. What should she do?

Shen Qingxu coughed twice and did not refuse.

She felt that her physical condition was not very good and she was afraid that she had caught a cold.

However, there were no other places to stay in the surrounding area except for the villages and towns. Shen Qingxu didn't want to affect everyone's itinerary, so he didn't say that he was not feeling well.

Wait until you get to Linjing County before going to see a doctor.

Since she already knew that Lin Shuyao was a princess, she naturally had to consider things more comprehensively.

There are hills all around here, and the houses are all mud-walled and thatched huts. I'm afraid Lin Shuyao won't be able to get used to living there.

After walking for another day and night, Shen Qingxu felt dizzy and his consciousness became a little fuzzy.

When everyone stopped to rest on the way, Shen Qingxu had not drunk a drop of water and was just listening to everyone talking in a daze.

"Mu Yunzhou, I always feel that there is danger here. You drive the car to protect Qingxu, and I will take people to investigate ahead." Suddenly, Xu Xingyi said to Mu Yunzhou, who was driving side by side, with a heavy face.

Mu Yunzhou nodded without hesitation.

He also felt that something was wrong around him.

Xu Xingyi pointed to a few secret guards, slapped his horse's butt, and took a step forward.

As shown on the map, this place is called Heiyun Mountain.

On the way, they met many common people, all of whom told them how successful the government's anti-bandit operation was in Heiyun Mountain, and advised them to travel without worry.

Xu Xingyi was half-believing and half-doubting, but when he thought of Lin Tiao who was running all the way behind them, he chose the road to Black Cloud Mountain.

At the same time, this road is also the fastest way to Linjing County.

Ever since leaving Qingzhou City, he discovered that Shen Qingxu wasn't in a good condition, as if she had caught a cold.

Although she took the medicine she brought with her to prevent and treat colds, her condition did not improve at all, but became even worse.

This made Xu Xingyi a little worried, so he chose to cross the Black Cloud Mountain and reach Linjing County as quickly as possible.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he left, Shen Qingxu and others encountered danger.

"I built this mountain!"

"I planted this tree!"

"If you want to live forever!"

"Leave some money to buy money for your trip!"

Mu Yunzhou stared at several plain-clothed men with knives and axes in their hands and their faces masked with black cloth, with a look of alertness.

Although their faces were covered, Mu Yunzhou could still tell at a glance that they were the "ordinary people" who had been talking on the road and said that the bandits had been successfully wiped out in Heiyun Mountain.

He looked up at the surrounding hillsides and vaguely saw a lot of people gathered together. It seemed that someone was lying in ambush there.

If the people in front of him fail to succeed, I'm afraid those people will swarm over, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Qingfang, Yilan and Weiyu got down from the carriage at the back, walked to the side of the carriage of Shen Qingxu and others with a cold look on their faces, clenched their weapons in their hands, and prepared for battle.

The secret guards have already drawn their swords, waiting for Qingfang's orders.

"Oh, so that's the case. How much money do you want to let us pass?" The more times like this, the calmer Mu Yunzhou became.

According to the scenarios in the storybook, these robbers usually come for money.

What a coincidence, Mu Yunzhou has nothing but a lot of money!

“One, one, one, one, one thousand taels!”

The leader looked at the others in panic, spoke haltingly, and stretched out a finger.

If this person can really come up with one thousand taels of silver, it means he can still come up with one thousand taels!

By then, wouldn't they be rich if they got one thousand taels and another thousand taels? !

"Sorry, it's too much. I don't have money. Please order less."

"You are sincere in wanting it, and I am sincere in giving it to you, so don't ask for too much. Ask for the right amount, and don't make it too difficult for us. It would be better if we could just get along with each other!"

As Mu Yunzhou spoke, he smiled a harmless smile, making people think that he was really bargaining.

"You are courting death! I have never heard of a hostage being able to bargain with the robbers!"

"Hand over all the money you have! Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Another robber waved the machete in his hand at Mu Yunzhou ferociously, with an obvious threat.

Mu Yunzhou held the reins carefully, thinking about the chances of breaking out.

Even if they give the money now, I'm afraid the robbers still won't let it go.

The hero in the storybook said: Don't be afraid when you encounter robbers, either you die or he dies.

Those who are able will kill all the robbers.

Those who are incapable let the robbers all be killed.

Mu Yunzhou now had no idea how many people were on the other side, so he had no way of rushing to kill the robbers.

"Brothers, let's talk. You see, we are all honest people. Meeting each other is fate!"

"Don't you just want money?"

"What a coincidence! I really don't have much money left. You guys should ask for less. I'll go and rob a few more pieces of equipment from the escort agencies, and then I'll give you the money. What do you think?"

As long as we can hold on until Xu Xingyi realizes something is wrong and comes back, everything will be fine.

By then, if they attack from both sides, their chances of winning will be much greater.

"From what you said, you are in the same industry?" The kidnapper holding the machete looked Mu Yunzhou up and down.

Seeing that the young man was fair and clean with delicate skin and tender flesh, he didn't look like the kind of person who made a living by robbery at all.

"I'm definitely not. Look at my delicate skin." Mu Yunzhou denied with a smile.

When the kidnappers were about to say something, he continued, "I'm not the kidnapper, but my father is. My father is a well-known bandit leader in the area. He never fails to succeed in robbing anything!"

Prime Minister Mu: Yes, yes, you are such a good son!

"To be honest, my father used to rob officials!"

"It was only after I came into being that he became more restrained!"

"Brothers, we are all from the same family and we meet here. This is our unique fate!"

"I came out in a hurry this time, and I don't have much money on hand!"

"I understand the rules of the underworld. I won't let you go empty-handed. Don't make things difficult for me. If you let me go today, my father will definitely come back with money to honor you in the future!"
