"You..." Tuoba Wu's face turned ashen.

"Wu Lang, are you angry? Do you think I'm spending money lavishly? I know I was wrong, but I was just thinking about being with you in the future, so I was very happy and invited them. If you don't want to pay, then I will. This hairpin on my head should be worth twenty or thirty taels."

As soon as she said this, everyone murmured, "He looked so impressive, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy."

"This girl has chosen the wrong person."

"He relied on his good looks to trick young girls into following him around."

"Girl, you'd better go home early! You won't be happy with a man like this."

Listening to their accusations, Tuoba Wu's face darkened even more, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a small amount of money, I'll pay it."

After saying that, he threw a purse to the shopkeeper.

"Wu Lang, I know you treat me the best."

Tuoba Wu snorted coldly and walked away.

Chen Jingxi looked at his departing back, with a barely perceptible hint of pride on the corner of her mouth.

She did this for only one purpose, to let Chu Jinghuai know where she was.

Six days have passed now, and Chu Jinghuai must have known about her disappearance.

Now that she was making such a big noise, Chu Jinghuai would definitely be able to follow her.

"Everyone, feel free to order whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, I'll put it on the bill."

"Thank you, young lady."

——

"Master, after Princess Su's disturbance, we must leave Linzhou immediately."

Tuoba Wu nodded and said, "Pack your things and set off immediately."

Chen Jingxi didn't expect Tuoba Wu to become alert so quickly.

This time, Tuoba Wu stuffed Chen Jingxi into the secret compartment with ease. He thought he would be greeted with her dissatisfied murmurs or protests, but unexpectedly, he only felt silence.

This abnormal silence made Tuoba Wu feel a little suspicious. What kind of evil plan was this woman planning?

Just as he frowned, trying to guess what Chen Jingxi was thinking, the hurried voice of his men outside the car interrupted his thoughts: "Master, we are being watched!"

"Hurry up, don't worry about them, let's deal with them after we get out of the city."

"yes."

After leaving the city gate, he was stopped by a group of people not long after walking.

Chen Jingxi listened to the noise outside and thought to himself: Someone is finally here.

"What do you want to do?"

The leader held up a knife and said, "Leave the box of jewels behind, and we will spare your lives."

"No jewelry, no."

"Don't play dumb, hand over your treasures to Grandpa, or you can't leave."

At this time, Tuoba Wu lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Your Excellency may have some misunderstanding. We don't have any jewelry."

"You guys are still squandering money like this even though you don't have any jewelry. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Soon, the sounds of their fighting were heard outside the carriage.

Chen Jingxi didn't listen too seriously, just silently told himself not to startle the carriage.

Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves, and then the carriage began to gallop at a very fast speed.

Tuoba Wu, who was fighting, turned his head and looked over, shouting angrily: "Who scared the horse?"

After he yelled like that, everyone stopped, froze for a moment, and then started fighting again.

Tuoba Wu used his Qinggong skills to catch up with him.

The driver of the horse sighed several times, but the horse still did not stop and continued to gallop wildly.

Chen Jingxi in the secret compartment was hit so hard that he saw stars and cursed: "Fuck, what you fear will come true."

Now she could only pray that there would be no cliff.

"Oh no!" The man outside cursed. His master's horse was not something that ordinary people could control.

When Tuoba Wu approached the carriage, he saw that the coachman had been shaken so much that he could not control the reins and was swaying all over.

Tuoba Wu didn't hesitate at all. He jumped up, kicked the coachman off the carriage, and landed steadily on the carriage himself.

He reached out, grabbed the reins, and pulled hard. The horse neighed and finally stopped.

Tuoba Wu swiftly opened the secret compartment, pulled Chen Jingxi out, and sneered, "You're lucky."

Chen Jingxi stood firm and looked down. Oh my god, there was a cliff.

He patted his chest with lingering fear and said calmly, "Fortunately, you stopped the carriage in time."

Tuoba Wu crossed his arms and looked at her coldly, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"What do you mean by intentional? I almost died."

Tuoba Wu obviously didn't believe it. He stared at Chen Jingxi, as if trying to see through her thoughts.

Chen Jingxi quickly said, "Tuoba Wu, can we discuss not locking me up in the secret room anymore?"

"You want to run?"

"Are you overthinking it? I was still poisoned. Did I run to a deserted place and die from the poison? And what's more! Just now, if you hadn't saved me in time, I would have died."

After she finished speaking, Tuoba Wu glanced at her and said indifferently, "Are you dead?"

Chen Jingxi: “???”

"Since you're not dead, why are you so excited?"

Chen Jingxi gnashed her teeth in anger, "If I'm dead, is there any need to be excited?"

Tuoba Wu paused, thought for a long time, and replied: "If he's not dead, it's not a big problem."

Chen Jingxi was furious.

At this moment, a shout came from a distance: "Master——"

Tuoba Wu looked at the secret guards who had caught up with him and asked, "What are the casualties?"

"One dead and five injured."

Tuoba Wu nodded. In order not to attract attention, they did not bring too many troops. As a result of the battle, more than half of them were killed or injured.

If he encountered any trouble again, he would die in Daxia, after all, there was the trouble of Chen Jingxi.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Wu felt inexplicably tired. He couldn't kill this person, and he was annoyed to death by her along the way. The more he thought about it, the more he felt bored.

"Be more discreet next time and change your route immediately."

After Tuoba Wu finished speaking, his men immediately understood.

They had fought with these bandits, and Chu Jinghuai would be coming soon. Not only did they have to change their route, but they also couldn't let Chu Jinghuai know where they were going next.
