He knew very well that the person who could cause trouble for his elder sister hadn't even been born yet! His elder sister's strength was something he experienced firsthand, and it was a story filled..."Ripple, be respectful! Young Master saved us, he's our benefactor, we should show our gratitude. How can you demand payment from him"

I haven't punished you yet! As my bodyguard, you should be careful and vigilant. How could you fall for such a street trick If it weren't for the young master coming to our rescue, we wouldn't know where they would have sold us!

Wang Zhenzhen's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Yes, Madam is right. It was my carelessness. I thought that not eating the braised beef would be fine, but I didn't expect the buns and tea to also have a problem."

Liàn Yī immediately said with regret.

Wang Zhenzhen then lifted the curtain, supported Lianyi's hand and got out of the car. She said to the young man in purple robes:

"Sir, it was my maid who acted presumptuously. She has learned some shoddy martial arts and considers herself quite skilled, claiming she could protect me. That's why she took on the position of both bodyguard and maid, accompanying me home to visit relatives."

I never expected that we would be in such a predicament so soon. Thankfully, thanks to your intervention, I was spared from being bought and sold as an object. Please accept my gratitude.

"My lady, you're too kind. It was just a small gesture, no need for such formality."

Zi Pao Qi Gongzi gave Wang Zhenzhen a gentle lift, while Lian Yi was even faster, stopping her from bowing at all. He quickly helped her up and then asked:

"What is your name, sir And what is your position"

"My name is Qiqi, and before this I was the county magistrate of Fengshan County. Due to the passing of my mother, I need to observe three years of filial piety, so I traveled back to my ancestral home with the constables who were on official business. They also offered me some assistance along the way."

"I see. May I ask, Master Qi, where is your ancestral home"

"Longxi."

"What a coincidence, I'm also going to Longxi to visit relatives. It seems we are still very destined."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and said.

"So the madam went to Longxi too."

Qi Qi exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! If you wouldn't mind, let's travel together! Following you, we could benefit from your protection. Those bandits wouldn't dare to target us."

The ripples immediately climbed up the pole.

This

"Don't worry, Young Master Qi. We definitely won't cause you any trouble. I'm fairly skilled and can protect my mistress. My experience in the Jianghu is lacking, so I joined your group to boost my reputation."

Ripple immediately explained.

Qi Qisi glanced at the woman's appearance, which was beautiful and spirited. He twitched his lips, feeling that the other party must be the kind of girl who had learned some martial arts for just two or three days and dreamed of becoming a wandering heroine in the Jianghu.

"In that case, you may travel with the caravan. However, we must make haste, so our stops along the way will be brief."

These are all minor things.

The ripples immediately agreed, then slapped their own coachman's face repeatedly, forcing the man to wake up.

"Are you awake"

"How did I fall asleep"

"You're on drugs, aren't you"

"Huh Then how come you guys are okay"

"We got caught too, but we only ate a little. You ate two ounces of braised beef, you forgot"

Where is the medicine in the meat

"There is tea and buns, but only a small amount. If you eat more, you'll be dizzy for the longest time! Not even a bit of alertness!"

"Didn't you guys get caught too"

Wang Yaozu's voice gradually lowered, finally disappearing completely.

"Ripple, why do you blame him for anything He's just driving."

Wang Zhenzhen's words were more touching, leaving Wang Yaizu speechless and blushing.

"It's good that you're awake. Drive the carriage and follow this young master. He saved us, and we'll travel together from here on out. He's also heading to Longxi."

Ripple immediately said, and with a sweep of his eyes, Wang Yaizu immediately sat up straight, grabbed the small whip beside him, and said to Wang Zhenzhen:

"Madame Zhen, please get in the carriage!"

Immediately, a group of four people walked out of the forest and joined those on the official road. They set off to rush to the next village.

Wang Yaizu caught up in his own carriage, falling to the back of the procession. He then whispered:

"They also went to Longxi. Isn't it too coincidental"

"He's going back to his ancestral home to observe filial piety, he hasn't even asked you, why are you returning to Longxi"

Lian Yi rode on the white dragon, following behind the carriage, and chatted idly with Wang Ya Zuo.

I received a letter from home saying that my father's health is not good and asking me to go back as soon as possible.

Wang Ya zu whispered.

Ripple, after hearing this, turned her head and glanced at the carriage before continuing to ask:

"Are you seriously ill Are they making you go back to divide the family fortune"

"I don't know!"

Wang Yaozu shook his head. His older brother rarely spoke to him about family matters, and he hadn't expected things to escalate so dangerously just by going home.

"Rest assured! If you can afford the gold, I guarantee to get you safely back to Longxi."

Liàn yī smiled reassuringly at him.

Wang Yaizu sighed helplessly. He had already boarded the ship, what could he do He could only be a good driver.

Qi Qi, sitting in the blue cloth carriage ahead, also had a thoughtful look on her face.

He left the imperial city this time because he was looking for a treasure rumored to exist in the martial world. This treasure was related to the Wang family of Longxi, so he chose to go to Longxi first.

Qi Qi touched his face, a shadow flitting across his eyes. As he grew older, his appearance changed as well. He hadn't cared much about it before, until one time when he went to report to the Emperor, he was spotted by Princess Xiangyi who had suddenly barged in. He then got stuck with the label of "pretty boy" ever since.

That hideous Xiangyi princess actually asked the Emperor for him, wanting him to be her male consort. Luckily, he was saved by the head of Group C because he is the heir apparent to the position, and will be in charge of the Emperor's intelligence system in the future. He spent eight years to get to where he is now, how could he possibly become a male consort for such an ugly princess

The Emperor, valuing talent, would certainly not let those who served him become male concubines for his sister. He directly refused Xiangyi's unreasonable request.

However, because Xiangyi sought him out repeatedly, he became increasingly annoyed. He clearly remembered a dark guard who had died six years ago telling him that his parents were killed by Xiangyi. The reason he hadn't killed her was because she was in the imperial city, under the Emperor's watchful eyes. Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago.

It so happened that there were rumors circulating in the Jianghu about a treasure appearing in the world. The emperor immediately ordered their Bing group to quickly gather information, and if they could seize the treasure from these Jianghu people, it would be even better.

This brings us to the question of why the Emperor was so concerned about this treasure. There's also Princess Xiangyi's contribution to this matter.

Princess Xiangyi went to the frontier twenty years ago for a marriage alliance. However, less than three years later, her husband, King Tuboqi of the Mongolian tribe, was killed by his own brother. The brother who ascended the throne wanted to inherit all of Tuboqi's possessions, including his wife, Princess Xiangyi. But Xiangyi insisted that as a princess of the Han dynasty, she could not be treated as property and inherited by anyone. She returned to the Han land with her personal guard.

The successor, Tuoba Han, was naturally unwilling to accept this. However, at that time, he had just killed his own brother and the situation among the Mongols was not yet completely stable. The tribe where Tuoba Qi was located refused to recognize him as the new king of the Mongols and started a civil war against him.

When he discovered that Princess Xiangyi had already left, he sent people to pursue her. He chased all the way to the border of Han territory. The garrison commander was very powerful and declared that if anyone from the Meng clan dared to cross the border, they would be killed without mercy.

Tuo Ba Han's subordinates were very loyal and insisted on breaking through the pass, but they were all ordered to be shot by the border general.obey the arrangements resolutely."The next day, when the sky was still hazy with mist, the four of them left Shanshui Huating Garden in a rubber dinghy amidst a drizzle. Countless eyes watched them se...
