The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The next day, Xia Younan and the other two checked out of the hotel early in the morning and continued to ride in a carriage towards Lion and Tiger Mountain.

As the carriage moved forward, the plains on both sides gradually disappeared, replaced by majestic mountains.

The green mountains are stacked up and down like waves on the sea, with no top in sight and no end in sight.

Xia Younan stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the mountains on both sides of the road with amazement on his face.

There were so many big mountains, bigger than the mountains where their modern temples were located.

There are mountains for several miles on both sides, and this is the only road to take. No wonder Su Yu said this is the only way to return to Beijing.

The further we go, the fewer people there are.

Yes, the mountains there are high and the forests are dense, which is the best hiding place for bandits. Who among the ordinary people dares to go there?

The carriage ran for a while, and a tea stall on the roadside appeared in Xia Younan's sight.

Xia Younan rolled his eyes and an idea came to his mind. He quickly stopped Chan En, stopped the horse and got off the carriage, and walked towards the tea stall.

The so-called tea stall only had three tables, dozens of stools, and a parasol.

Under the parasol, an elderly couple was brewing tea. The faint fragrance of tea drifted with the breeze, making people want to drink it quickly.

Xia Younan walked towards the couple, took out the portrait of Qin Chong, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and asked politely, "Uncle and aunt, have you seen this man passing by here in the past two days? He brought more than 20 men with him."

The couple looked at the portrait in her hand and shook their heads, "No, this place is remote, there is only one road for a few miles, and we are the only tea stall, so people who pass by usually come here to drink tea.

"We are sure we have never seen the person in the portrait, nor have we seen more than 20 people passing by together."

That’s great. It seems that Qin Chong and the others haven’t arrived yet. Then they can just concentrate on waiting.

Xia Younan thanked them, handed the portrait to Chan'en to keep, and took out a large ingot of silver from the purse hanging at his waist and gave it to the couple.

"Uncle and aunt, I'll give you twenty taels. You can go home and rest for a while, and rent the tea shop to me for two days. Can you come back the day after tomorrow to take back the tea shop? I promise that everything will be intact."

Where had the old couple seen so much money? Their eyes turned green when they saw the shining silver.

These twenty taels were more than enough to buy the entire tea shop, but the other party only wanted to rent it for two days. Only a fool would not be tempted.

"Okay, okay!" The aunt took the silver from Xia Younan's hand. She didn't even bother to ask the reason and ran away with her husband, as if she was afraid that they would go back on their word.

Xia Younan smiled, turned around and sat on the stool, picked up the teapot and poured three cups of tea, "Yuan'er, Chan'en, sit down and have a rest, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

The two sat down, and Chan En asked, "Senior Sister, from the look on your face, have you thought of robbing the Imperial Guards?"

Xia Younan took out a bag of powder from his waist and slapped it on the table, smiling slyly.

“Hehe, although I have beaten the Imperial Guards before, this time there are more of them, and with the Imperial Guards commander Qin Chong in charge, their combat effectiveness must be much stronger than the group that escorted Ye Yuqing last time.

"We can't attack them head-on. The best strategy is to outsmart them."

Lu Xiuyuan picked up the powder wrapped in paper and had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked, "Madam, what is this?"

Xia Younan took the medicine bag and put it back in his arms, "Sweating pills, muscle softening powder."

Zen En suddenly realized and asked, "What if they don't stop to drink tea?"

Xia Younan shrugged, "What else can we do? If they refuse to accept the toast, then we can only use force to weaken them!"

Zen En gave her a thumbs up, "Senior Sister, you are awesome."

Lu Xiuyuan sighed silently, thinking that these two people were really bold.

Not to mention anything else, just Qin Chong's martial arts would be difficult for both of them to deal with.

I just hope Qin Chong and others can stop and have some tea, otherwise I might have to take action and can't just watch those senior brothers and sisters risk their lives.

Xia Younan was afraid that the journey would be boring, so he specially made a deck of playing cards to take with him.

The three of them sat around the table eating, drinking and playing Landlord, waiting for Qin Chong and the others to pass by.

Until the next morning, Xia Younan and Lu Xiuyuan were dozing off on the table when Zen En, who was on guard in the distance, ran over like a rocket.

"Senior Sister, wake up quickly, they are coming, Qin Chong is leading a large force here!"

Xia Younan shuddered, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace. He nervously confirmed, "Are you sure? Is it Qin Chong?"

The young monk Zen En nodded, "Yes, I have seen that portrait many times, it is him!"

"Okay!" Xia Younan immediately stood up, trotted to the teapot where tea was boiling, took out the knockout drug, opened the paper bag and poured it all in.

The powder dissolved in water immediately. It was colorless and tasteless, and there was no detectable flaw at all.

After giving them the drug, Xia Younan pushed Lu Xiuyuan and Chan En to the jungle on the side. "Yuan'er, be good and hide in the woods. You often go to the palace, so Qin Chong might recognize you. Chan En, keep an eye on him and don't let him make any noise."

"Yes." Chan En agreed, pulling Lu Xiuyuan's arm and running deep into the forest.

Lu Xiuyuan followed Chan En obediently, secretly admiring the thoughts of this little woman.

It turned out that she had thought of it too, and was just about to find a reason to hide.

After seeing him hide well, Xia Younan took a spoon and stirred the boiling teapot, letting the fragrance of the tea drift further with the wind.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the road, getting closer and closer.

Xia Younan cleared his throat and shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by, the best Longjing tea is out of the pot!

“Longjing tea tastes fresh, sweet and refreshing. Just a sip will make you feel less tired.”

Soon, more than 20 men wearing black cloaks and riding tall horses arrived at the tea stall. After hearing her shouting, they all pulled the reins.

A man licked his dry lips and suggested to the man in the front: "Commander Qin, the brothers have been traveling for a long time. Our throats are almost dry. Why don't we stop and have some tea?"

Others also responded: "Commander Qin, it's cold this morning, let the brothers drink some water to warm up their bodies before continuing their journey? The emperor... the master doesn't care about this little time."

The person in the front had thick eyebrows and big eyes, an extraordinary demeanor, and his bronze skin shone in the sunlight.

He was nearly two meters tall, with a muscular body and slightly protruding temples. One could tell at a glance that he was a martial arts expert.

At this moment, he frowned and looked grim, as if he was struggling over whether to dismount and have a cup of tea.

His Majesty had ordered us to hurry back to Beijing and not delay any more on the road. But the brothers were really tired after traveling for several days, and the aroma of tea was really tempting.
