Meng Huaying only brought three people with him, after all, there were not enough people in the workshop.

In fact, collecting flowers was not difficult. When Shen Li arrived at the county government office, he explained the matter to the bailiff and asked him to take people to each village and ask each family to pick the flowers. The village chiefs would then deliver the flowers to the gate of the government office, and Shen Li's people would pay by the kilogram.

Because the Ministry of Works had already sent this matter down to each county government office and gave Shen Li a token, it was particularly smooth when she went to the government office to find the bailiff.

After all, it is a county under Kyoto, very close to the imperial city. The county magistrates also know that this is the emperor's intention, and no one dares to make things difficult.

Shen Li walked around the thirteen counties and also visited Shen Liang along the way.

The remaining task of collecting the flowers was handed over to Meng Huaying and the three people he brought with him. They waited there, collecting the flowers from one county after another, and then sent them back to the workshop as soon as possible.

She is only responsible for dealing with the government.

It took more than twenty days to complete the whole trip, and most of the time was spent on the road.

"Miss, you seem to be a little darker than before." Liu Xin said.

Now we are on the carriage back to Kyoto.

"What did you say? This won't do. Give me a mirror. I worked so hard to get white. I have to follow Qin Yu's whitening recipe and drink a few pills when I go back." Shen Li couldn't let herself get darker. She didn't want to become a dark and earthy girl anymore.

Liu Xin held back her laughter and said, "Miss, even if you are a little darker, Master Qin will not dislike you, don't worry."

"You little girl, you dare to joke with me? Are you looking for a fight?"

"My lady, it's been almost a month and you haven't met Master Qin. He is such a fool. We are not far from Kyoto, but he didn't even come to see you."

"He has to go to court every day, so he has no time to come and see me."

"Miss, are you on my side now?"

At this time, Luo Qi's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, there seems to be something wrong with the forest ahead."

Shen Li got out of the carriage and stood outside the carriage. She looked around where people were sitting but didn't see anything. But she also felt that something was wrong: "Why is it so quiet?"

There are trees on both sides of the road, why is there not even a bird singing or an insect chirping?

"Yes, there may be an ambush ahead, but I don't know if it's coming for us."

Shen Li took out the hidden weapon box from the cloth bag he was carrying. The needles inside were all soaked in poison. It was not a deadly poison that would kill a person instantly, but something that would cause temporary paralysis and make a person unable to move.

Zhuo Da and Zhuo Er also came over and clenched the knives in their hands.

"Miss, please get into the carriage quickly. We will hide inside the carriage." Liu Xin said.

Shen Li can protect himself now, but Liu Xin doesn't know martial arts. Fortunately, she is the only one who doesn't know martial arts.

"Can you go around it?"

"There is no way, only this one way."

Shen Li also knew that what she said was nonsense. She had just seen that there were woods on both sides and this was the only way to go. It seemed that the ambushers had chosen this location specifically.

She returned to the car and now had no choice but to continue down.

Luo Qi continued to drive forward, but he was on high alert.

The Zhuo brothers also rode their horses and walked closely around the carriage.

After walking for a while, the men in black appeared as expected. One group appeared in front, blocking the way forward, and another group appeared in the back, blocking the retreat.

Several people were already prepared and there were no surprises.

"Liu Xin, you don't know martial arts, so stay in the carriage and don't get off." After Shen Li gave the instructions, he was about to get off.

Liu Xin held her back, her voice unconsciously filled with fear: "Miss, don't go down either, it's too dangerous."

"You forgot that I am not the same person I used to be. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Shen Li felt that these people were most likely coming for her. If she stayed in the carriage, they would definitely attack the carriage.

By then Liu Xin will be in danger.

If she got off, the carriage would be the safest choice.

When Shen Li got off the carriage, he saw two groups of men in black in front and behind, blocking their way forward and backward.

"Go ahead, kill that woman." The leading man in black shouted.

Shen Li had already guessed that these people were coming for her, so she just looked at them to see if there was anyone else besides her.

Zhuo Da and Zhuo Er rushed directly towards the man in black behind the carriage, but Luo Qi just surrounded Shen Li and fought him. Shen Li would cooperate with him when the time was right, and after paralyzing the man, Luo Qi would finish him off.

She glanced around and saw that there were about twenty people in black. Judging from the way Luo Qida acted, it seemed that these people's martial arts skills were not very strong, at least not top-notch masters.

But there were only four of them, and the other side had the advantage in numbers.

After a while, Shen Li discovered that Zhuo Er led several men in black into the woods. After a while, Zhuo Da could no longer cope with it. He was covered in bruises, and the men in black behind him also rushed towards Shen Li.

Shen Li used his lightness skills to dodge the knife that the man in black was slashing at him, and at the same time found the right moment to shoot his hidden weapon.

Luo Qi was originally very worried about her, but when he saw that she was able to protect herself for the time being, he focused on dealing with the man in black.

He didn't need anyone to protect him. With his martial arts skills, these men in black were no match for him, so he started killing everyone.

Zhuo Da was already injured, and just when he was about to give up, the men in black that Zhuo Er had led away before came back, and there was exactly the same number of them, but Zhuo Er was nowhere to be seen.

Was he killed?

But these people’s martial arts skills were not very high. How was it possible that he didn’t kill anyone and was killed instead?

Shen Li didn't have time to think too much. After all, the situation was very critical and she had to save Zhuo Da.

Just as she was flying towards Zhuo Da using her light Kung Fu and shooting hidden weapons at the people around Zhuo Da, she saw a man falling from the sky and killing the man in black.

Chen Zheng?

Then Qin Yu landed beside her.

"Why are you here?" Shen Li asked.

"Are you sure this is the time to talk about this?" Qin Yu said as he shot the man in black with his sleeve arrow.

"It's not a matter of life and death yet." Shen Li said, but her hands were not idle. The silver needles in the hidden weapon box were flying out. She absolutely could not let Qin Yu lose. After shooting a few men in black, she looked at Qin Yu with some pride.

Qin Yu felt soft in his heart when he saw her expression begging for praise. She was so cute. It must be said that Shen Li's appearance was originally cute, and now with this expression, it was really able to melt people's hearts.

At the same time, he felt relieved. He had been sending people to keep an eye on the Gu Mansion. Knowing that they were gathering people, he thought that they might attack Shen Li, so he rode all the way here at full speed. He was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and get injured again.

But when I got there, I found out that she actually knew how to use hidden weapons? Not only could she protect herself, but she could also save others.
