The yamen runners and prisoners were so frightened when they saw Liu Yanhui being flapped by the giant eagle that they almost stopped breathing.

Fortunately, scholars are smart and know how to please eagles. As expected of officials, they can't even flatter people, let alone flatter eagles.

When you compare yourself with others, you can't help but admit defeat!

……

Yuezhou was located on the outskirts of the Third Princess' fiefdom, and the birthday gift was delivered one month earlier than in other places. In previous years, ten carts of food and treasures would have been needed to deliver them. This year, the drought also affected Yuezhou, and the local people were almost fleeing the famine, so how could they have extra money to offer?

After half a month of thinking, the local officials finally came up with a solution. Although there was no money or grain, there were plenty of people!

Every year, there were officials who sent handsome men to the third princess, and the third princess kept all those handsome men. If others could send, they could send too!

Shen Lanxi and others watched from afar as a group of carriages and horses were approaching. There was no gold, silver, or treasures, nor any food, only a group of young men on the carriages.

Each of the men had a handsome face, while some had ordinary faces but were strong. They were all dressed like noblemen. If you didn’t know them, you would think they were students from some academy out for an outing!

"The target has appeared, with ten escorting soldiers and seven on the carriages, a total of seventeen people. There are two carriages in total, and only ten soldiers are holding weapons, including swords and spears. The flag of Yuezhou is flying on the front carriage!" The outpost of the Wei family army came quickly to report the situation!

Shen Lanxi looked at Wei Dongzhu and asked, "How many people can you use?"

Wei Dongzhu: “Twelve people!”

"How's your combat power?"

"One can defeat a hundred!"

Shen Lanxi: "Only ten people are needed, each responsible for one soldier!"

Wei Dongzhu: "Where are the people in the carriage in front?"

Shen Lanxi: "They are gifts!"

Wei Dongzhu: "..."

Soon the carriage came closer. Shen Lanxi waved her hand, and the Wei army soldiers who had been lying in ambush on both sides jumped out and killed them one by one with their swords.

The soldiers from Yuezhou died on the spot before they could even react!

The people in the car looked straight in the direction of Shen Lanxi.

"Don't panic, as long as you behave yourself, we will definitely send you to Tianjin to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"

One of the people in the car said, "Okay, we'll listen to you!"

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth and raised her hand to signal: "Collect the spoils, change clothes, and clean up the scene."

The Wei army immediately followed the previous instructions, stripped the Yuezhou soldiers of their clothes and put them on, and then found their pass documents and other items.

A moment later, they transformed into Yuezhou soldiers!

The document listed the number of soldiers and the number of people who were given the birthday gift. Shen Lanxi made a stroke and ten more people were added to the document.

"Chunxue, bring the cakes here. I'll share some with them and find out about Yuezhou's situation while I'm at it!"

Chunxue was puzzled. She could find out about these things! Forget it. The young lady asked her to do this. There must be a reason for her!

Shen Lanxi jumped onto the carriage with cakes in her hand, and found an excuse to send Wei Jiajun, who was driving the carriage, away. Just as she was about to take the reins from Wei Jiajun, someone else took over before her.

"Let me do it, I can drive!"

Shen Lanxi gave up her seat, took a step forward and sat on the car board!

"Fifth Brother, why are you here?" Shen Lanxi changed her cold look and greeted the handsome man sitting next to her affectionately.

The handsome man subconsciously touched his mouth, but felt nothing. He snorted in annoyance: "If it weren't for the news from Third Senior Brother, we wouldn't have known about the Shen family's troubles! Xiaojiu, you treat us as outsiders."

Shen Lanxi's eyes flushed, and she quickly suppressed her emotions, saying with a slightly nasal tone: "Fifth Brother, I have been wandering all the way, and even I don't know where my next destination is. Even if I send you a message, you don't know where to find me!"

After hearing her explanation, Feng Wu's expression finally looked better.

"Fifth Senior Brother, after I arrived in Anzhen, it just happened to be the Medicine King's birthday there, and I thought that on such a big day, our Guigu people must be there. If it were any other day, it would definitely not be so easy to contact Third Senior Brother!"

Feng Wu nodded. If it were any other time, their people wouldn't be guarding Anzhen so often.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Shen Lanxi immediately smiled: "Fifth Brother, Master and the people in our valley, are they all okay?"

Feng Wu nodded: "They are all very worried about you and want to take you back to Guigu!" This is also the purpose of his trip.

Shen Lanxi's eyes immediately became firm: "Fifth Senior Brother, I will not return to Guigu for the time being. I want to send the Shen family to Dongchuan, and then find out the truth about the theft of Wei's army's food and wages, and clear the Shen family's name." Give her justice!

Feng Wu frowned and said with some disapproval: "The Great Zhou will be in chaos. Even if the Shen family arrives in Dongchuan safely, there is no way to stay safe and live a peaceful life!"

Shen Lanxi: "Fifth Brother, I have my own plans!"

Feng Wu looked at her twice and saw that her eyes were firm and her whole body was like a sharp blade. He knew that her determination would not waver.

"Master often said that although you are young, your brain is the best among all of us. Given time, you will definitely become a great man. Master is right!"

Shen Lanxi felt ashamed after hearing this. If she had really done as her master said, she would not have ended up like that in her previous life.

Fortunately, what she didn’t learn in Guigu, she learned after her death!

"I brought you six helpers. From now on, they will all be at your disposal!"

After Feng Wu finished speaking, the other six people in the car all clasped their fists towards Shen Lanxi. If the car wasn't too narrow, they would have already knelt on the ground to acknowledge their master.

Although the fifth brother looks gentle and elegant, he is actually responsible for the training of Guigu guards. These guards are divided into two types: open guards and secret guards.

When they have nothing to do, these guards will take on some bounty or assassination jobs, one for money, and the other for gathering information.

These people kept silent and it was obvious that they were secret guards.

"Fifth Brother, thank you!"

Feng Wu frowned, looking disdainful: "My fellow disciples are in trouble. As a disciple of Guigu, I should protect the people in our valley!"

Shen Lanxi: "I was talking about your beard. Thank you, Senior Brother, for shaving off your precious beard that you have kept for more than ten years in order to come and protect me. Senior Brother must be heartbroken, right?"

Feng Wu froze, his eyes instantly widening into bells.

"Fifth Brother, I don't want to reveal Guigu's identity for the time being. In front of outsiders, I will call you Fifth Brother!"

"I'm leaving now. We'll talk again when we have a chance~"

Looking at his junior sister's graceful back as she left, if Feng Wu hadn't shaved his beard, it would have been so angry that it would have stood up.

This Xiaojiu is still as naughty as he was when he was a child!

They passed a post station on the way, replaced the mules with tall horses, and rode at full speed towards Beiheng Town.

This time I didn't take a break and kept running until late at night.

"There are people ahead!" Several bonfires were very noticeable in the night.
