Half an hour later, Qingyou spotted the bandits on the main road and rode her horse into the nearby woods to take a detour.

She found a secluded spot, tied the horse to a tree, and then crept over there herself.

They stopped in the woods near the bandits and climbed a large tree.

Standing on a large tree, Qingyou looked out over the woods opposite and, sure enough, spotted the Fourth Prince and Shi Lingqiao, staring at them.

On the other side.

Shi Lingqiao came here because she wanted to see Qiao Xinyue lose her innocence and reputation so that she could feel relieved.

The Fourth Prince only came because Shi Lingqiao insisted on coming, and he was afraid something might happen to her, so he had no choice but to accompany her.

Soon, a bodyguard entered the woods.

"Master, Miss Qiao and the others will be arriving soon."

The fourth prince ordered, "Proceed according to the original plan."

"Yes!" The guard nodded respectfully and left to make the arrangements.

Soon, several civilians and the bandits appeared on the official road.

The bandits wanted to kidnap a young girl from among the common people, who knelt down crying and begging for mercy.

Then Qiao Xinyue and Miss Cai's carriage appeared.

Inside the carriage, Miss Cai looked out the window at what was happening outside and couldn't help but feel angry and heartbroken.

If that little girl is taken away by these burly men, what good life will she have?

So he ordered his guards to rescue the person.

The leading guard had no choice but to step forward to stop them, and a conflict ensued with the bandit leader.

Seeing this, the pomelo on the tree took out a scarecrow from its spatial storage.

A few strands of Shi Lingqiao's hair were tied to the scarecrow, and a talisman with her birth date and time written on it was also attached.

The pomelo drew in a wisp of yin energy, which was then injected into the scarecrow, activating it.

After that, it drew wisps of malevolent energy towards the official road.
