"Don't be afraid, Ah Chu. I will protect you. I can handle many wolves. You can hide behind me and they won't dare to approach you."

If all else fails, she will poison the wolves, and then they will be at her disposal.

When Rong Yan heard Tang Mumu's words, she became more and more confused. How could a delicate little girl like her know how to deal with wolves? Thinking back to what happened during this period, Tang Mumu was completely different from her in her previous life.

"Achu, don't you feel a little cold? Come over here." Tang Mumu rubbed her hands and moved closer to the fire. Ji Chu also moved closer and sat down beside her. The full moon was hanging high in the sky, and its silver light sprinkled between the leaves on the branches and onto the ground through the gaps, like a sharp sword piercing a person's heart.

Tang Mumu and Ji Chu fell asleep while leaning against each other. They woke up the next day when the sun shone on their faces. Tang Mumu got up and stretched, and saw Rong Yan and Song Jinyu leading the horses over.

"Achu, get up quickly. We're about to leave. I'm going to the stream to wash my face. Do you want to come?"

"I will go with you."

Tang Mumu and Ji Chu were just about to go to the stream when the horses began to circle in place, as if uneasy. Rong Yan immediately reached out to stop them and exchanged glances with Song Jinyu, who immediately leaned over to the ground.

"They are coming, at least twenty of them. Should we run or fight?" Song Jinyu stood up. Ji Chu saw that there was some dry grass on his hem and raised his hand to brush it off for him.

"Are you here to kill us?"

Hearing this, Song Jinyu frowned and looked at her, "Why do you sound so excited when you know you're here to kill us?"

Tang Mumu was a little excited. She had never fought with an outsider before, so she didn't know how well she had learned martial arts.

"How can I be excited? I am waiting to hear your decision. Do you want to run or stay?" He was halfway through his words when he added: "No, let's run. Your wounds are not healed yet. Even if you use the best medicine, it will take about five days before you can fight. Now it's only been three days. Let's run."

"Ah Yan, are you injured? Then you should listen to Tang Mumu and run quickly. We can hide as long as we can."

Song Jinyu suggested running away. No matter what, there would inevitably be casualties if the two sides fought, and the result would always be bad.

Rong Yan shook his head. "We will reach Baisha Town in half a day. If we are caught by then, I am afraid that innocent people will be hurt. Now that we are here, we can't escape."

"I told you not to fight. Let's go to Baisha Town first. We can't just start killing people in broad daylight." Tang Mumu said again. Rong Yan glanced at her, and Tang Mumu immediately calmed down.

"Okay, then I'll stay and catch them off guard, so they know that I am not a pushover."

Song Jinyu rubbed his hands together, looking like he was ready to do something big. His eyes swept over Tang Mumu and he immediately looked at her with disdain, "What about her? I'll have to protect her then, it's really troublesome."

Tang Mumu smiled and tilted her head, "Then you are wrong. Maybe I will still protect you at that time. Since you have decided to do something big, I will let you see how powerful I am today."

After Tang Mumu finished speaking, she walked towards the stream, and Ji Chu followed her out of concern.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Chu thought he had seen it wrong, but he saw Tang Mumu put the mouth of the white porcelain bottle into the stream, and after a moment something like a small insect crawled into the water.

"This is a larva of a Gu, which will enter the human body with water. If the assassins drink water here later, it will be easier for us to deal with them. If they don't drink water, it doesn't matter. I control the Gu worms. Even if someone drinks water downstream, it will not affect them."

Tang Mumu put the larvae into the stream while explaining to Ji Chu, completely unaware that Rong Yan and Song Jinyu were not far behind her and could hear her words.

"How do you know all this?" Ji Chu was curious, and the two people not far away were also curious.

Tang Mumu was stunned. When she realized what she had done and said, she wanted to slap herself. How could she forget that she was now the second lady of the general's mansion?

Tang Mumu smiled awkwardly, put away the bottle, and made up an excuse: "In fact, the reason I never went out before was because my father disliked me for not looking like a lady from a noble family. I couldn't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and I didn't like knitting. I was best at swordplay. Maybe God thought I was gifted, so he let me meet a master. The master saw that I was a promising talent, so he secretly taught me kung fu and many other skills. So I recognized him as my master."

"After all these years, I have made some progress in my studies, and I have not disgraced my master's reputation. However, my master never told me his name, so I have no way to find him. He always comes to see me, so I still don't know who he is."

We can't let her go find someone like this, right?

Ji Chu's eyes widened. She never expected that the reason she had never seen Miss Tang II at a banquet before was because her family elders didn't allow her to go. However, it was a blessing in disguise and she was happy for her.

The two people who heard the entire conversation looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

"She's a talented person who can come up with such a bad excuse." Song Jinyu wanted to go to Tang Mumu and give her a thumbs up. Which girl could lie so frankly and not even want to make up a slightly convincing reason?

Rong Yan thought about it and thought, maybe Tang Mumu was not lying, otherwise how could she explain the many things wrong with her in this life? If she really had a master, and she had learned a little bit, it could explain the unusual things about her.

Ji Chu returned to Rong Yan's side, while he went to Song Jinyu's side. Rong Yan originally wanted to put his arm around Tang Mumu's waist and take her to jump onto the tree, but Tang Mumu took the initiative to hug Rong Yan's waist.

"I've already told you that I know martial arts, so you don't have to worry about it. I'm only helping you because you're injured. Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking advantage of you on purpose."

As soon as she finished speaking, she used the power of her toes to jump onto the tree. Rong Yan was not used to such intimate actions between the two of them, and avoided her hand without leaving a trace. Even in his previous life, he had never done anything inappropriate towards Tang Mumu. Until his death, Tang Mumu had always been innocent.

Tang Mumu seemed to notice his awkwardness and subconsciously moved a little to the side. She was not the kind of person who would rush to do something, so since he was unwilling, she would be even more unwilling than him.

What's more, the identity of Princess Rong was only borrowed temporarily and she would have to return it to the real Miss Tang in the future. No matter how good Rong Yan was, she couldn't have any bad thoughts about him.

Song Jinyu and Ji Chu looked at each other and jumped onto the same tree.

After about a cup of tea, Song Jinyu said softly, "Here it comes."

All four of them took defensive postures, but after a moment, the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the forest. It was indeed as Song Jinyu said at the beginning, more than 20 people had come. Seeing the team approaching the stream, Tang Mumu's face lit up with joy, it seemed that her plan was going to succeed.
