"Madam Hua, don't worry, I will be fine. With the miracle doctor at the border, how could he let anything happen to me?"

"County Princess, that's smallpox, how could it be okay?" Nanny Hua would never let her go to such a dangerous place.

"Madam Hua, you don't need to say more. I have made up my mind. If you are worried, then you can come with me." County Lady Xiangling used her trump card.

She knew this old man very well and was very afraid of death.

Sure enough, after County Lady Xiangling said this, Aunt Hua fell silent. Her eldest grandson had just been born, and she didn't want to die yet.

"Okay, if you dare to tell my mother about my affairs, I will sell you all out." County Lady Xiangling threatened.

In fact, she knew that her mother would definitely know. But she couldn't care less. As long as she left the capital a few hundred miles away, her mother would be unable to do anything to her.

It was not easy to get the news about the miracle doctor, how could she let it go.

The next day, County Lady Xiangling rushed to the border with her guards and two maids.

She was afraid that she would be too late and would not be able to meet the miracle doctor. She was also afraid that her mother would find out and chase her away. She hurried all the way, fortunately because she grew up on the farm and was in good health.

After Prince Jing brought the iron box out of the Canglan Palace with his men, he made three fake iron boxes and set out for Wei in several different routes.

Among them, Cao Jinyu took the real one and prepared to go northwest and take a detour from the Southern Shu Kingdom.

His martial arts skills were better than his father's, because he often went to Guanziqi for advice.

Zhao Jinyu and two of the most skilled secret guards followed him.

Canglan already knew that the iron box had been opened, so he probably wouldn't check it too strictly. But just in case, everyone disguised themselves and set off.

Zhao Jinyu has many clever ideas and often changes his clothes along the way.

For a while, he dressed up as a farmer, driving an ox cart through the village and over several mountains.

For a while, he mixed in and escaped from the city behind the wedding procession.

They sometimes pretended to be knights and fought against evil and protected the good, and sometimes sent criminals to a county magistrate, which made the magistrate very grateful to them.

After walking and stopping for a month, we finally arrived at the border.

The defense here is much stricter, so if they want to get out, they have to make careful plans.

The four of them stayed in an inn, ready to study and discuss the matter.

"Master, this place is only three hundred miles away from the border of Southern Shu. The Huaqing Mountain in front is the border, but because Southern Shu has declared war on Canglan, the defense here is much stricter than usual, and the border troops are stationed at the foot of the mountain."

A secret guard named Zhang Liang went to investigate and came back to report.

Zhao Jinyu took out the simple map they bought from the bookstore and looked at it.

The picture is very simple, just drawing the mountains, rivers, villages, cities, roads and a few necessary things.

The location is relatively accurate and can be used as a reference.

“Jin Yu, this place is very close to Yunshan City, let’s find out when they will fight again.

It would be easier if we could cross the mountain while the two armies were fighting.

Because at that time, these soldiers guarding the border may be called to join the battle temporarily." Zhao Jinyu analyzed.

"You mean improvisation?"

"Almost. If they haven't been called away, we'll just wait for another chance.

Who knows, in a few days, Southern Shu might attack and directly occupy this small county where we are.

We didn't have to do anything, we went straight into Southern Shu."

"Hehe, you're quite optimistic, but the longer we stay in Canglan, the more danger it will be." Cao Jinyu was not that optimistic. He felt that the sooner they left Canglan, the better.

"Okay, we'll play it by ear."

The few of them didn't expect that they would actually wait for this opportunity.

Prince Liu of Southern Shu prepared to launch a general attack on Yunshan City, intending to capture the city in one fell swoop.

He has already contacted Shangguan Ziqi and plans to attack at the same time, which will put unprecedented pressure on Canglan.

One third of the small troops guarding the borders of Canglan were transferred to Yunshan City.

The two secret guards who had been keeping an eye on the foot of Huaqing Mountain saw their men withdraw a little and immediately went to the inn to report.

"Now, the opportunity has come. Let's set off tonight under the cover of darkness." Cao Jinyu made up his mind.

The four of them prepared.

The iron box is quite large and cannot be disassembled into small pieces, so it is really inconvenient to carry it around.

But that was the purpose of their trip.

We were moving at night and into the mountains, so the horses were useless.

They all rely on walking.

The four of them dressed themselves up as if they were going into the mountains to hunt.

Each person carries a backpack, which looks like a tool hunters use to carry prey.

The iron box was placed in one of the bags, and Cao Jinyu was still carrying it on his back, tying the iron box tightly inside.

No matter how you move it, it won't fall out.

If they were discovered by the enemy, they would flee separately to distract the enemy's pursuit and finally meet in Yunxi City of Southern Shu.

The night grows darker.

The four of them took their "treasures" and quietly left the inn under the dark night. Their figures soon blended into the vast night.

It took almost an hour to reach the mountain entrance guarded by border troops.

It was so late, and there were lights on at regular intervals.

They approached quietly.

Later, we saw two soldiers patrolling the area around the mountain pass.

There are walls in other places, and they are not low.

This defense is really extremely tight.

Cao Jinyu and the other three all had great martial arts skills, so the wall was not a big problem for them.

I guess it was built recently because the iron box was lost.

When a patrol passed in front of the bushes where they were hiding, they could still hear them complaining.

A: "Hey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered us to guard the mountain, what exactly are we guarding?

Recently, some hunters have been not allowed to enter the mountains, causing them to find ways to sneak over the lower parts of several protective walls.

Now is the season when prey is at its fattest, and I want to go into the mountains to hunt some."

B: "Why do you think so much? You are upset because I didn't let you fight on the battlefield?"

A: "You are right. What merit can you get by guarding the mountain? Only by fighting on the battlefield can you achieve great merit. You can't just be a soldier your whole life."

B: "I heard that some people from Wei stole things from the palace and might take them away from here, so they asked us to guard it so strictly."

Person A: “Really?”

B: "I just heard what the leader said, I don't know whether it's true or not, but any strangers are not allowed to enter the mountain and will be arrested.

We just need to do this. If we can catch the thief, it will be a great achievement."

The two walked further and further away.

The four of them looked at each other.

It really is a border defense set up for them.

Fortunately, some of them were transferred away, but it would be very difficult for them to get out of here.

When the two men were about ten feet away from them, Cao Jinyu took the lead in using Qinggong to fly over the protective wall.

The three people behind followed closely behind.

Soon it was plunged into darkness.

Once they had passed the wall, they dashed through the woods as fast as they could.

What they didn't know was that as soon as they entered the forest.

It was discovered by a flying eagle, which let out a sharp eagle cry.

"Someone has entered the forest. Hurry, chase him."

With a loud shout, the defenders quickly gathered, went into the mountains, and followed the footsteps of the four of them.
