"Princess, we've arrived at the villa!" The day's journey ended, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the Qu family's villa. Mu Chun and Ying Xia carefully helped Yun Qianmeng get off the carriage.

Yun Qianmeng led a group of people to stand outside the gate and looked. They felt that this was no different from the villa where they had stopped a few days ago. Both looked deserted. It seemed that Western Chu was in chaos and even the villas outside the capital were affected by the war.

"Princess, everything is normal inside. I have already sent people to take care of everything in advance. You can rest assured to spend the night here." At this time, Qiao Ying, who had entered the villa before them, walked quickly to Yun Qianmeng and reported everything in a serious manner.

Yun Qianmeng retracted her gaze, nodded slightly to Qiao Ying, and then smiled faintly, "Let's go in too. Let everyone have a good rest for the next few days."

Leaving these words behind, Yun Qianmeng, supported by Mu Chun Yingxia, stepped onto the stairs and slowly walked into the villa.

"Qiao Ying has become more and more meticulous in his work. He has even sent people to clean the main house. The princess can come in and have a rest." Mu Chun put down the bag in his hand and looked at the main house and the inner room, which were already spotless. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Yun Qianmeng slowly walked to the window, raised her hand and gently pushed it open. Her bright eyes looked at the setting sun that was falling on the courtyard, with a faint smile on her lips.

"I just don't know how Yingqiu and Yuandong are doing now." Mu Chun sighed and spoke out the thoughts hidden in her heart. Then she and Yingxia looked at Yun Qianmeng together, and there was trust in their eyes.

Yun Qianmeng naturally understood the two girls' anxiety. She placed her left hand on her waist and gently stroked her abdomen with her right hand. She slowly turned around and said in a clear voice, "Prince Chen has not troubled the people of the capital for the time being. I believe they are safe."

Besides, Prince Chen had already received the petitions for the throne from all the nobles and aristocratic families in the capital, so why would he make things difficult for the common people?

"Fortunately, there is a villa that Madam left for the princess, otherwise we would not even have a place to rest along the way." Yingxia saw that the courtyard was quiet and silent. After putting away the utensils and clothes in the bag, she smiled and spoke, livening up the atmosphere in the room.

Seeing Yingxia's intention to change the gloomy atmosphere in the inner room, Yun Qianmeng lowered his head to look at the wooden board under his feet, and walked forward slowly step by step, with an extremely serious and cautious expression, as if he was calculating something.

Seeing their master's expression, Yingxia and Muchun stopped talking. They took the well water that Qiao Ying had drawn and started to boil water outside. Apart from the sound of boiling water, there was no other sound in the main room.

"Princess, take a break. You've been riding in the carriage all day and it's been so bumpy. It would be good for the child if you take a break." Mu Chun didn't dare to give Yun Qianmeng tea casually. She poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the round table. Then she stepped forward and helped Yun Qianmeng, who seemed to be counting the floors, to sit down.

Yun Qianmeng reorganized her thoughts before carefully sitting down. She held the teacup in front of her with both hands to warm them. Seeing that the three maids were all there, she spoke softly, "In a few days, our carriage will officially depart for the north. By then, we will no longer have any other courtyards to stay in."

Seeing that Yun Qianmeng must have something important to tell them when she spoke, the three of them immediately walked quietly to the inner room and stood there, quietly listening to Yun Qianmeng's instructions.

"We've been resting in the courtyard these days, so that man hasn't dared to act rashly. He's learned his lesson, taking the past as a warning and not acting rashly. Once we cross the northern border, we'll naturally be protected by the prince's 500,000-man army, making it even more difficult for him to attack us." Yun Qianmeng spoke calmly, discussing her current predicament in a relaxed tone. Even though she had secret guards protecting her, she was pregnant. The secret guards could shield her from swords, but they couldn't help her give birth. If anything happened along the way, she'd be nowhere to turn for help.

When Yun Qianmeng talked about her plans for the journey, the three girls listened attentively. Even Qiao Ying, who already knew some inside information, became more solemn after hearing what Yun Qianmeng said.

"So, the key point is the journey before entering the north. I have asked Qiao Ying to find out everything along the way. I just want to remind you again that you must not panic or lose your composure at that time. Remember the techniques I taught you to use guns." Yun Qianmeng took a sip of warm boiled water, waved to the three of them to come closer, and whispered the plan to them.

At this time, in an abandoned garden not far from the villa, a young man stood on the embroidered building of the abandoned garden, looking towards the villa, his silent eyes filled with indelible hatred.

"Brother, she is just a fugitive Princess of Chu, why do you care so much? There are so many of us, we have tied that woman here, and you won't let you deal with her? The King of Chu killed the leader of our mountain. Since we followed you, we will naturally give our virginity to you. I heard that the Princess of Chu is very much loved by the King of Chu, so she must be a beautiful lady. We are rough guys who live on the edge of a knife, but we have never seen what the women of the royal family look like, hahaha..." A rough and obscene voice came from the room behind the man. A burly man with a face full of flesh, about thirty years old, strode out, put one hand firmly on the young man's shoulder, and talked loudly about the beautiful scenery after capturing Yun Qianmeng. His ferocious face was covered with a wretched smile.

The young man frowned slightly when he heard the hoarse laughter. He glanced back at the large hand on his shoulder as he looked away. A hint of displeasure flashed across his half-closed eyes, but a frivolous smile appeared on his face. He said loudly, "Brother Liu is right. The Princess of Chu's maiden name was Yun Qianmeng. She was once the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun's family and a famous beauty in the capital. Otherwise, how could she have bewitched the Prince of Chu so much?"

As he spoke, the young man's peach blossom eyes twitched slightly, and he turned to glance at the room behind him. Then he turned closer to the big man and whispered in his ear, "I heard that Brother Liu really likes strong-willed women, and Yun Qianmeng is the first of them. Don't be fooled by her gentle and virtuous appearance, she is a strong-willed woman, just like your taste. But Yun Qianmeng is also very resourceful, so Brother Liu, when you enjoy her, you must be careful with her and don't let her hurt you!"

After he finished speaking, the young man glanced at the big man's lower body with an obscene look, and everything he said came true.

The large man followed the young man's gaze and immediately understood the meaning of his words. The smile on his face became even more obscene. Seeing the young man's sincerity, he couldn't help but whisper his own opinion, "Brother, the Princess of Chu is just a woman. Why have you waited so many days and not made a move? I see that she only has two or three little girls serving her, and the rest of the guards are far outnumbered by us. Why drag this matter out?"

As he spoke, the big man felt a slight itch in his heart, and his mind was already imagining some disgusting scenes.

Seeing the large man's lustful arousal, the young man couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart, but he said seriously, "Brother, you don't know that although the Princess of Chu is a woman, she is a powerful person. Besides, the King of Chu allowed his beloved wife to travel alone, so how could he not arrange for guards to accompany her? If we rashly enter that villa, I'm afraid we will die without knowing how."

"What should we do? What if she stops at other courtyards along the way? Then I can only watch but not eat. Besides, we can also take action on the way. Why should we always be restrained and let our brothers down again and again?" The beautiful fantasy in his heart was immediately extinguished by the other party's words. The big man couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed. The hand on the man's shoulder exerted force secretly to express his dissatisfaction.

The young man was neither angry nor annoyed. The smile on his face became more and more sinister, and his voice was filled with lingering hatred. "Brother Liu, why are you in such a hurry? If this road is blocked, there are naturally other ways. Western Chu is in chaos now, and no one can be sure where the King of Chu's army will be hiding. If we are discovered if we act openly, not to mention the King of Chu, I'm afraid even King Chen will not let us go. I would like to ask, Brother Liu, how many of these brothers can withstand the armies of Chu Feiyang or Jiang Muchen? If we act so recklessly, won't we be sending our brothers to their deaths in vain? It would be better for us to wait and see what happens, and then strike when those forces think it is safe, and catch them off guard."

"Then why bother clearing out the people along the way in advance? It would be a waste of our brothers' efforts." The big man was still a little dissatisfied. Although he had never seen Yun Qianmeng's appearance with his own eyes, hearing the other party's description aroused his curiosity even more.

"If we don't do this, the King of Chu will probably send more people to protect the Princess of Chu." The young man snorted in his heart, secretly mocking the big man for having a head full of straw and being as stupid as a pig.

However, at this point, the young man and the big man started whispering to each other. After hearing the young man's plan, the big man suddenly laughed shamelessly, patted the young man's shoulder heavily, and then turned and walked down the embroidery building...

"Sir, why not let me handle this matter? Why bother..." Seeing the big man leave, a guard approached the man and suggested in a very low voice.

The man had already put away his smile when the big man turned around. His face was gloomy and cold, making people feel cold. After a while, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Hmph, Xi Chu treats us like this, how can I let them go? These people are just fighting in the front line. Their life and death have nothing to do with me. If they are alive, I will continue to use them; if they die, I will applaud them. Anyone who is from Xi Chu deserves to die. What I want to see most now is Chu Feiyang's expression after he knows Yun Qianmeng was insulted and killed. I think it will be very exciting!"

At the end of his words, the man clenched his fists, his whole body trembled, and his eyes flashed red. His once jade-white face was now shrouded in the setting sun, making people feel intimidated...
