After a moment's silence, Lin Dai said, "Let's go down the mountain. My mule cart is parked at a small village at the foot of the mountain. We'll rest there tonight and hunt some game on the way. It will be almost noon when we get to the village, so we can make lunch." After saying that, she led the way down the mountain, and Shen Qing followed behind. As expected, his only use now was to cook.

When they returned to the village, the villagers saw a stranger and hid themselves.

Shen Qing also didn't understand what was going on. Lin Dai explained, "Many people have disappeared in this village and have not been found, so the villagers are now afraid of the arrival of strangers, fearing that they are not good people. I guess these missing people are related to Qin Qi from Jiangyang City. Have a good rest today, and we will set off for Jiangyang City early tomorrow morning." Shen Qing nodded silently without saying a word.

The next morning, Lin Dai packed herself up and got out of the car. She had stayed in the car last night, and Shen Qing found a place to lie down in the broken house.

Lin Dai came out and saw Shen Qing preparing breakfast, so she greeted him: "Morning, Master Shen, what delicious food are you making?"

Seeing that Master Wuyou had gotten up, Shen Qing replied, "Good morning, Master Wuyou. I made some porridge and it will be ready soon."

Lin Dai nodded, looked at Shen Qing, and praised: "Lord Shen, this outfit looks good on you. It seems that I have good taste in buying clothes." Last night, when she saw that Shen Qing's clothes were torn and stained with blood, she bought him clothes of a larger size in advance. This was to prepare for a rainy day.

Shen Qing looked down at the clothes that Lin Dai had given him and nodded to indicate that they were indeed nice.

After breakfast, Lin Dai and her friends set off in a mule cart. Shen Qing drove the mule cart, and Lin Dai stayed inside and told Shen Qing to hurry up. Shen Qing smiled and said helplessly: "This is a mule cart, not a horse. It won't be much faster. Why don't you buy a horse?"

Lin Dai shrugged and said, "It's because the mule cart is slow. I plan to have fun while walking. I'm not in a hurry to get on the road. I'm here for tourism, but now I don't look like a tourist at all. I have never stopped eliminating harm for the people since I came to Dayan. How dare you say that? Look at what the country you manage has become. I decided that after you finish this, I will travel around the four countries and have a good time."

Shen Qing thought about it, but in his heart he was saying that it was a good thing that you were traveling, otherwise they wouldn't have met him, and it would be hard to say what would happen to Dayan in the future. Shen Qing coughed a few times and asked Lin Dai, "What is Master Wuyou going to do when he arrives in Jiangyang City?"

Lin Dai was really interested. She had already prepared and said confidently, "In a few days, Jiangyang City will hold the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. It will definitely be very lively, but it will also be a good opportunity for human traffickers. I decided to lure the snake out of its hole, penetrate the tiger's den, sneak into Chencang, and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Although Shen Qing didn't understand the specific plan, he roughly heard it and asked, "What bait is used to lure the snake out of its hole?" After a while, there was no reply from Lin Dai. Turning back, he saw that he was staring at him with a malicious smile.

Shen Qing suddenly felt cold all over, and he felt something was wrong. He asked Lin Dai uncertainly, "Why are you looking at me, Master Wuyou? You don't want me to be bait, do you? They wouldn't be stupid enough to kidnap me, would they?"

Lin Dai waved her fan and said, "Of course not like you."

Shen Qing just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Dai say, "It's you dressed as a woman. Mr. Shen is very handsome and has a cool face. I think you must look good in women's clothing. Who knows how many men you will charm at the Lantern Festival."

Shen Qing was so frightened that he stopped the car with a sigh, turned around and looked at Lin Dai seriously and asked, "No way, are you serious? I am a man of eight feet tall, and the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion is dressed as a woman. Do I still want to have a good reputation in this life?"

Seeing Shen Qing's frightened look, Lin Dai couldn't help but continue to fool him: "Of course it's you, otherwise there is no one else, do you want me to go?"

Shen Qing almost blurted out "It's you", but he held it back and asked with a sad face, "Is there no other way?"

Lin Dai pretended to be impatient and said, "No, let's get on with our journey." After that, she lowered the curtain of the carriage and ignored Shen Qing.

Shen Qing had no choice but to catch the car, and he kept comforting himself that there must be other ways. However, Lin Dai was laughing so hard in the car, and she was actually looking forward to seeing Shen Qing dressed as a woman.

After two days of traveling, they arrived at Jiangyang City before dark. Lin Dai found the largest and best inn in the city to stay in and ordered a lot of delicious food. However, Shen Qing went straight to work after arriving in the city, so Lin Dai and the system were the only ones eating.

The system had some small complaints: "Sister, I haven't eaten well these days and I have lost weight." As she said this, she touched her belly.

Lin Dai looked at the system pretending to be wronged with amusement. How can the system lose weight? She patted the little head and comforted him, "Thank you for your hard work, little Fatty. Some people have difficulty eating these days, and our little cutie is hungry. Let go and have a good meal today. If it's not enough, add more." After that, the two of them started eating. Although someone cooked on the road, it was still not comparable to eating in a restaurant.

After resting for a while after dinner, Lin Dai went into the space, took a comfortable bath, and went to bed early.

The next morning, Lin Dai was about to go out for a walk. As soon as she opened the door, she was startled. She looked at Shen Qing standing outside the door and said with disgust, "Master Shen, you just came out of the girls' nest. You look like you were blown dry."

Shen Qing rolled his eyes and explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been busy all night and I'm so sleepy. I came back to talk to you and I'm going to sleep."

Lin Dai nodded: "Okay, then you take a shower and have a good sleep. We still have important things to do next. I'll go out for a walk."

Lin Dai walked on the street, looking at the lights and decorations and the bustling crowds of people. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival and everyone is in high spirits, but who knows what will happen on that day?

Lin Dai was walking around. All kinds of lanterns were already on sale, as well as a variety of snacks. Lin Dai bought a little of each and put them into the space. She said to the system, "Fatty, do you want to eat anything?"

The system said to Lin Dai: "Sister, I want that rabbit lamp, is that ok? It looks a bit like me."

Lin Dai looked at the lanterns. Because it was still daytime and not yet Mid-Autumn Festival, the lanterns were not lit. Lin Dai replied, "Fatty, wait until the night after tomorrow to buy the lanterns at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. There will be more lanterns then, and they will look beautiful when lit up. There is no rush to buy them today."

The system can only agree and say: "Okay, then sister must buy it for me."

Lin Dai wandered around outside for a long time, bought some clothes, and found out a lot of gossip. She didn't return to the inn until the afternoon and went straight into the space to practice.

It was not until I heard someone knocking on the door that I came out and saw that it was getting dark. I opened the door and found that it was Shen Qing. I smiled and asked, "It seems that you slept well and recovered. Have you eaten?"

Shen Qing looked at Lin Dai who never missed a chance to laugh at him, and smiled helplessly and said, "No, I came to see you."

"Let's go and eat in the lobby downstairs."

The two ordered a lot of delicious dishes, most of which were for Shen Qing, who must have been very hungry. Afterwards, the two went out to find a good teahouse, and asked for a quiet private room to drink tea and discuss the specific plans for tomorrow.

Shen Qing took a few sips of tea and looked at Lin Dai to confirm what happened before: "Do you really want me to pretend to be a woman?"

Lin Dai looked at him and smiled without saying anything, raising her eyebrows. Shen Qing tried hard to see some other expressions on Lin Dai's face, but there were no extra expressions, only the expression of waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Shen Qing sighed and said, "What sin did I commit in my previous life?" Then he took a big gulp of tea and refilled it.

Lin Dai smiled and said nothing. Wait, there will be a surprise tomorrow. Suddenly, she remembered something that she almost forgot: "Who did Lord Shen meet last night?"

Shen Qing was in a bad mood at the moment, and he also started to confront Lin Dai: "Hey, is there something else that Master Wuyou doesn't know? Do you still need to ask me?"

Well, how unhappy is this, such an adult still has a childish temper. Lin Dai smiled maliciously and asked: "Are you sure you want me to check it myself? That's not impossible, but don't blame me if I check your background thoroughly."

Shen Qing immediately thought of Lin Dai's ability, who knows what terrible things she might find out, and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'll tell you myself! Last night I contacted the emperor's secret guards to report the recent events to the emperor, and asked them to contact some people to Jiangyang City. We need to do something, so I think we still need some manpower."

Lin Dai didn't expect that there were secret guards of the emperor in this place. It was beyond her expectation: "Oh, it's great. There are actually people of the emperor in this place?"

Shen Qing snorted, "That was all caused by that old villain. These were all secret guards trained by the previous emperor. After the current emperor ascended the throne, Qin Yan secretly found ways to kill these secret guards in order to weaken the emperor's power. The emperor saw that many of these secret guards had been killed, so he could only secretly send them to hide in places far away from the capital. There are some in Jiangyang City. Without the emperor's order, they will continue to hide."
