The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Adu had been leading the team and surveying the situation at the front until he stopped his horse in front of a thatched hut, looked around carefully, and then said to everyone: "We will wait for them here.

Xiaoqing, from now on, you must stay by my side all the time.

Ah Yi, Chen Jing, we should prepare ourselves. The tail end won't give us much time."

As a person with 0 combat power, Yang Qi knew that he could not help in any way, so he took the map from Adu and prepared to memorize the nearby terrain.

Xiaoqing quickly glanced around: "Miss, I need to take a closer look and find the most suitable hiding place." It is not difficult to see that the young lady has no martial arts skills.

If the people being hunted noticed this, three or four of them would join forces to assassinate the young lady, but two fists are no match for four hands. Even I am afraid I will not be able to guarantee that the young lady will be safe.

Yang Qi held the map in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll follow you." No one knew when the assassin would appear, so he should not stay alone. Once the previous plan was ruined, the situation would become worse.

This thatched hut should have been left behind by a hunter who had gone hunting before. It looked like it had been empty for some time. Xiaoqing looked at it carefully but could not find any useful hiding place.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoqing found Ah Du and said, "Ah Du, I plan to take Miss away first. Now that you are responsible for attracting the target, it is a good time for me to take Miss away."

Ah Du refused without a moment's hesitation: "No, when we were at the inn, they already knew that there were five of us. If they found out that you had already left, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to attract the target."

Xiaoqing's words startled Yang Qi, and he put down the map silently. Why did everyone choose to agree when they were discussing it just now, but now they want to take him away quietly?

Hearing Ah Du's refusal, Xiao Qing was not angry: "Ah Du, the lady has not shown her face all the way. As long as we find someone with a similar figure and put on a veil, we can simulate 50% to 60% of her appearance.

The problem now is that we have fallen into the sight of those who have ulterior motives. If we are caught, we will be completely wiped out.”

Adu didn't say anything, but just looked at Yang Qi: "Master, Adu listens to you."

Yang Qi looked at the movement of Adu's hands and said, "I agree with Xiaoqing's opinion." Although Adu's idea is good, it has a fatal problem. Once more people come, even if Adu and his four companions are good at fighting ten people at the same time, they will probably not escape the fate of being caught in a jar.

Seeing that his master had an idea, Adu no longer hesitated: "We will meet at Guangming Hall in Xihu in four days. By the way, master, Xiaobai must stay. Xiaobai is a good horse, and I'm afraid everyone who has seen it along the way will remember what Xiaobai looks like." Now that he is the young lady's secret guard, Adu will never overstep his duties at any time.

Yang Qi knew what Ah Du meant, and without much hesitation, she took off her sachet and handed it to Ah Du: "If you wear the sachet, Xiao Bai will follow you."

"Don't worry, master, I will take Xiaobai to Xihu safely. There is no time left, you should set off quickly." Adu looked around and urged.

Reaching out to grab Yang Qi, Xiao Qing whispered, "Hold me."

Then, Xiaoqing took a deep breath, climbed onto the branch, and ran quickly.

With the example of His Highness before, Yang Qi was not overly frightened or scared about Xiaoqing's behavior this time.

Only after they left the bandits' territory on the hill did Xiaoqing put Yang Qi down and lean him against a tree to take a short rest.

With Xiaoqing alone by his side, Yang Qi had to start to be alert. While Xiaoqing was taking a short break, Yang Qi tightly grasped the dagger given by His Highness and carefully observed the movements around him.

Looking at the young lady with funny movements, Xiao Qing took a sip of water and said, "Miss, even if the worst result is achieved, Adu and the others can buy us half a day. During this half day, we must leave the Fifth Prince's forces as soon as possible."

Without turning around, Yang Qi turned his back to Xiao Qing and continued to observe his surroundings: "What do you mean?"

Xiaoqing walked to the young lady's side and pointed to a hill not far away: "From there, it is the territory of another hill." As long as we go in there, although there will be other crises, we can temporarily avoid the pursuit of the Fifth Prince.

Shaking his head, Yang Qi firmly denied: "No."

Seeing the doubt in Xiaoqing's eyes, Yang Qi said, "I suspect that all the bandits here are from the same group. They just pretend not to know us. If we really go there, we will be trapped."

Last night, Yang Qi was unable to fall asleep. He kept wondering why bandits in a place where they were entrenched were so particular about underworld rules?

Are these bandits really occupying the mountains and becoming kings because they are hungry?

If the fight was really to seize territory and resources, there would never be such a harmonious situation on these hills. It's as if someone has set the rules for everything.

Also, the innkeeper doesn't seem to be someone who can be raised by an ordinary family. Her charm and seductiveness can probably only be cultivated in the most famous brothel of the Tianyuan Dynasty. How could such a person be willing to give herself to the bandits, and have done so for so many years and served so many guests?

What makes Yang Qi most suspicious is the giant he saw last night. How could there be such a tall person in this world? It must be a trick played by someone in this inn in order to better maintain his business or intimidate the guests.

But an ordinary black shop only needs to employ some people with strong martial arts skills, so why would they go to so much trouble to do such mysterious things?

The most likely possibility is that this inn is hiding some secret that it doesn't want others to know, so they deliberately created a giant to attract everyone's attention.

Putting all the things together, Yang Qi suddenly realized that such a big situation could not be achieved by a Jianghu force? How could the court tolerate such a powerful organization appearing in the Tianyuan Dynasty?

The only answer is that these bandits are under the control of the imperial court!!!

This can explain all the previous problems!

If my guess is correct, the bandits on all the hills have now received all the information about my group. As long as Xiaoqing and I set foot in this area, I'm afraid these people will take action.
