With the two sides deadlocked, Qingyan decided to go out wearing a cap, intending to break the deadlock. The longer they stayed, the higher the chances those people would discover the truth.

"Little darling, sit down!" Yin grabbed her hand and commanded directly.

The people surrounding them were waiting for them to leave so they could confirm if they were the person they were looking for.

"Fourth Brother, I should be fine going out!" Qingyan said, pouting.

Sometimes, he's a burden.

He pulled her onto his lap with a forceful jerk, and she hid on the cushion, listening to the sounds outside.

Those people noticed that no one came out of the carriage, and they became somewhat suspicious.

According to the leader, Qingyan has a rather short temper, and if provoked, she will definitely react strongly to similar problems.

Seeing that there was no movement inside the carriage, they began to suspect that it was a decoy and that the person inside was probably not an important person.

Those guards all looked fierce and menacing; Tulichen might not be the real boss at night.

They were once tricked by Kangxi. Tulichen was supposed to follow him all the time, but on one hunting trip, Tulichen was accompanied by Kangxi's double. Galdan had planned everything perfectly, but the double was assassinated.

Galdan held a lavish banquet in his tribe to celebrate the assassination of Emperor Kangxi.

Soon, Kangxi appeared at Qiu Mi's hunting grounds. Galdan's men discovered something was wrong and, after investigation, found it was a strategy by Kangxi.

"Boss, no problem!" The men below had been watching the carriage closely and quickly realized that the people inside couldn't make decisions, and the guards outside were all following Tulichen's lead without asking the people inside.

If the Fourth Prince were inside the carriage, he should be even more respectful to him.

Their eyes and actions didn't seem like they could be planned.

"Hmm!" The leader nodded. "Leave all the gold and silver in your carriage!"

They disguised themselves as bandits and demanded gold and silver directly from them, imitating the actions of those bandits.

"Here you go!" Tulichen and Seto exchanged a glance and murmured. They didn't ask about what was happening inside the carriage, which finally dispelled the suspicions of those people. It was a good start.

"Leave the last carriage behind," Tulischen gave the order directly.

Inside the last carriage was a total of ten thousand taels of silver and some rather plain jewelry, all of which had been taken from the Linglong Pavilion. They had disguised themselves as a merchant caravan; they couldn't possibly be without any goods.

Before leaving, Yin instructed that if they encountered bandits and could not escape, they should not worry about the last few carriages.

Hu Zi didn't linger. He made way for the last carriage, allowing all the other carriages and people to leave.

At this moment, Yin realized that these people were not the real bearded men.

She sat inside the carriage wearing a cap, watching the situation unfold outside. She felt that Yin had given the right command, and that if she were to intervene, the problem might not be resolved quickly.

“Those people aren’t bearded!” Yin said with a smile, only after they had moved out of each other’s hearing range.

She was taken aback, surprised by Yin's keen observation.

"The leader is faking a beard. If he were a real bearded man, the goods in the following carriages would be lost." Yin once disguised himself as a merchant and went to Jiangnan with Yinxiang.

While passing through a disaster-stricken village, they were robbed by villagers who had been forced to become outlaws due to poverty, and those people didn't leave them a single copper coin.

"Huh?!" Qingyan was dumbfounded; what Sisi said was a bit too far-fetched.

He poured a cup of tea for Xiaoguai and placed it in front of her.

“When you encounter bandits, not only will you suffer serious property losses, but even the women might be implicated. Su Lan is quite beautiful, and those bandits should have taken a liking to her. This time, not only did they not ask to keep her, but they also exchanged a cartload of silver and goods for her safety. It's a pleasant surprise.” As soon as Yin and Xiao Guai explained, she immediately became anxious. Could it be that they almost walked on the edge of hell?

"It's not just the Mongolian tribes, is it?" She snuggled close to Yin, her little face tense with worry. The real bandits would be hiding on the road ahead; their intelligence network was very efficient.

Those disguised Mongols would certainly spread all sorts of false rumors to make the bandits in front of them think that they not only had silver, but also beautiful women.

"Okay!" Yin nodded. "If you encounter real bandits, hide in a secluded place and leave with me. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to come out."

At that time, Yin couldn't consider whether to expose that place; as long as Xiao Guai was safe, he would silence everyone who knew.

Tulichen is a problem. When the time comes, we'll send him away, and Seto and Eshuo should be willing to help.

"What if we get caught?" She understood the saying that possessing a treasure can be a crime.

"Don't worry, apart from my two brothers-in-law and me, even Su Peisheng and Su Lan won't survive," Yin revealed.

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale, and the person who had been by her side for many years seemed to vanish.

The fear that rose from the bottom of her heart made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, that's the worst-case scenario; it won't happen easily." Yin patted her back, helping her relax. "To ensure your safety, even going to hell would be worth it."

She leaned on his shoulder, her small face scrunched up, and a hint of moisture welled up in her large, watery eyes.

Yin was a Buddhist and would not easily commit murder. Historically, Yin committed murder only when he was forced into a desperate situation.

“Si Si…” Qing Yan looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Touched? This is what a husband should do." Yin was not good at expressing himself; he always did more than he said.

In addition, he personally planned all her education from a young age.

She leaned on his shoulder, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"How many more tribes do we need to visit?" Qingyan thought of the children.

Yin hesitated for a moment, and they tried their best to go to the place where Yin had disappeared.

"It may take another ten days. We've gathered all the information, so we'll go and help our elder brother!" Yin didn't interfere, leaving Tulichen to represent him fully.

She nodded quickly, still shaken by the things they had encountered along the way. Their ability to escape danger each time was largely due to Tu Lichen's help.

As the eldest prince, Yin did not request capable bodyguards, so Kangxi dispatched more imperial guards to protect them than Yin did, and the number of guards was also larger.

"Fourth Brother, my elder brother and sister-in-law should be safe, they've just encountered some minor problems," she asked.

"Songkelirha followed." Yin was worried that the little girl was too pretty and might cause trouble.

The princes of Mongolia petitioned Emperor Kangxi in many ways, hoping that Songkri Erha would marry into Mongolia.

"Weren't the children all left at the camp?" Qingyan quickly asked.

"Songkelirha is getting old; it's good for him to see more of the world." Yin and the others underestimated the dangers of this trip. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
