Su Yan responded and got into the car as well.

With Li Dabai joining the team, the responsibility of driving the carriage fell to him.

Su Yan and Xuan Yuan Junyu sat in the carriage, neither of them speaking.

The carriage slowly made its way to its destination.

The original owner's home was quite far from the border.

It would take a day to travel there.

Their carriage was elaborate and luxurious in appearance, and it was clear at a glance that it came from an extraordinary background.

People coming and going deliberately avoided it, for fear of offending some powerful or influential person.

But when this extraordinary carriage travels through a desolate place, things suddenly change.

It immediately became a prime target, inevitably attracting the attention of some daring bandits.

Li Dabai wanted to get to Su Yan's house as quickly as possible.

Naturally, one should take the shortest route.

After crossing this mountain, we'll arrive soon.

Li Dabai was driving the carriage when suddenly the horses neighed.

With a thud, the horse's front hooves fell to their knees.

The carriage came to a sudden stop with a loud bang.

The car was swaying.

Su Yan barely managed to avoid being thrown out by holding onto the window with one hand.

She looked up at Xuanyuan Junyu sitting opposite her.

Because of the sudden sway, the two were brought extremely close together.

As he looked up, Xuanyuan Junyu happened to be looking over as well.

Both of them were taken aback.

Their foreheads are so close they're almost touching.

Xuanyuan Junyu raised an eyebrow, then steadily finished.

Su Yan stepped off the car in two quick steps.

Ask Li Dabai

"What happened?"

As they were talking, they heard a jumble of footsteps.

A group of men, each with a fierce and menacing look, holding long knives.

The weapons they carried were also different; some were sickles used for chopping firewood in the mountains, while others were military knives.

They strode over, and one of the leaders had a thick beard and looked like a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and outlaws).

Opening

Where did it come from?

While speaking, he glanced at Su Yan, Li Dabai, and the carriage behind them.

After careful confirmation.

Yes, it's a big fish.

As a result, the leader's eyes were much brighter than before.

Li Dabai frowned, gripped his longsword, and held it horizontally.

"Those in the military, if you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"

The news that it was someone from the military camp immediately sparked whispers among the people there.

"Boss, the military camp isn't too far from here."

"Boss, look at that carriage. It doesn't look like it has any interesting origins. If it were anything else, then forget about it."

But they were from the military.

"If we offend any big shots in the military camp, they might raze our mountain to the ground."

It seems the person next to the leader has been offering advice quite often.

After careful analysis, the leader began to hesitate.

Finally, the group fell into whispers, completely ignoring Su Yan and the others.

After a long while, the leader spoke.

"Since you're from the military, then forget it, just give me ten taels of silver and go."

Li Dabai snorted.

"Ten taels?"

The bandit frowned

"Could it be that you don't even have ten taels?"

As they were talking, a voice came from inside the carriage.

"This is the first time someone has dared to ask me for money."

He spoke with a smile, and seemed to be playing a joke on his lips.

Judging from the man's tone, the bandits realized that he was someone of considerable importance.

Although these brothers have all been through a lot.

But it's best not to mess with those in the barracks.

They might dig it up even if it's hidden underground.

The leader looked impatient.

"Never mind, I'm in a good mood today, let's go."

He then gestured for his men to hang up.

waved his hand

Let's go!

They shouted once and immediately left in a grand procession.
