Ji Mohan's side also encountered a very bad situation. Dozens more breaths suddenly appeared around them, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and everyone was on high alert.
When Yan Wan woke up again, she was awakened by the sound of swords clashing outside. She secretly peeked out from behind a corner of the curtain and saw that they were surrounded by men in black. However, the number of men in black kept increasing. Yan Wan felt a little scared and silently took out the dagger she had drawn from the system earlier and held it tightly in her hand.
"Don't be afraid, Yan Wan." Ji Mohan's firm voice came from beside the window. He had been guarding the carriage and had not left.
"Yes, I'm not afraid," Yan Wan said, trying to calm herself down.
"Yan Wan, get down, don't stay in the carriage." Ji Mohan said seriously. Seeing that the number of men in black was increasing, he knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.
Yan Wan slowly moved to the outside of the carriage. Ji Mohan leaned over, protecting her firmly behind him, his cold eyes fixed on the leader of the men in black.
He felt that the person was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Yan Wan stared in shock at the leader of the men in black. How could he be here?
The leader of the men in black also felt Ji Mohan and Yan Wan's scrutiny and frowned. Had the two of them discovered something? He had originally wanted to have Li Shu handle it, but he was afraid that the old man Li Shu would ruin his plans, so he came in person.
The two sides fought without holding back. Ji Mohan's guards were stronger than the men in black, but the men in black seemed to have no end in sight, attacking relentlessly. Even Yan Wan's cart carrying grain was slashed, and the grain fell to the ground. Yan Wan felt a pang of heartache when she saw it.
She secretly used her spatial abilities to secretly send the grain covered under the straw into her space. Only then did she feel relieved. The grain absolutely could not be damaged. This batch of grain was specially prepared for the military camps guarding the border. If the soldiers went to the battlefield hungry, it would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Ji Mohan stared coldly at the leader of the men in black, opened his mouth, and said with certainty, "Uncle An, it's been a long time."
The man in black was stunned, and Yan Wan was also stunned. Neither of them knew how Ji Mohan knew his identity.
The man in black said in a gloomy voice, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not some Uncle An."
After all, he couldn't reveal his identity now, and he couldn't let that person know he was still alive.
“Uncle An, it’s been a long time. I never imagined you were hiding in the Northwest. Why haven’t you come back to the capital to visit all these years?” Ji Mohan continued. He could tell that the man in black didn’t want him to mention Uncle An, but he firmly believed that his intuition was correct.
The person in front of me is Ji Mo'an. He didn't die back then, and he even managed to fool my father.
He couldn't have pulled off such a deception alone; he must have had other accomplices. Who could it be? This place is closest to Qingzhou, could it be the Li family? Did the Li family join forces with Uncle An? Is that why they orchestrated that assassination attempt decades ago?
If that's the case, then Li Shang is also in danger.
The leader of the men in black remained silent after hearing Ji Mohan's words, clearly not wanting to talk to him any longer. Yan Wan also noticed Ji Mohan's concerns and slowly stepped out from behind Ji Mohan, saying softly, "Uncle An, hello, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself first. I am Yan Wan, your niece-in-law, haha."
Ji Mohan watched Yan Wan's antics with a smile in his eyes. Ji Moan was about to be driven crazy by the two of them. Were they deaf or blind? Couldn't they see that he didn't want to talk to them?
“Uncle An, we are all family. It’s really not good for family members to fight and kill each other.” Yan Wan said with a smile, then turned around and said loudly, “Hey, all of you, stop fighting. This is His Majesty’s younger brother, Prince An. Hurry up and pay your respects to Prince An. If His Majesty knew that Prince An was still alive, he would be so happy that he could eat a few more bowls of rice.”
Both sides in the attack stopped and looked at the leader of the men in black. At this moment, Ji Mo'an felt as if he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat. These two bastards! They did it on purpose!!!
Even the men in black were whispering amongst themselves. After all, everyone knew that Prince An had died more than a decade ago. After his death, His Majesty ordered a nationwide mourning period, during which the emperor forbade the consumption of meat for seven days. His Majesty was even bedridden with grief for several months. Yet now, they were saying that Prince An was still alive?
The royals really know how to play the game!
As Ji Mo'an watched others openly harass him, his throat tightened, and he glared hatefully at Ji Mo'han and Yan Wan. One day, he would make them pay the price.
Ji Mo'an turned around and disappeared in a flash. The men in black he brought with him also left after seeing their leader leave.
After watching them leave, Ji Mohan took out paper and pen from the carriage, wrote a letter, tied it to a carrier pigeon, and sent the message back to the capital.
Father will be very happy when he finds out. After all, his dear brother has returned to claim his life.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" The generals of Yunzhou City looked at Ji Mosheng.
Ji Mosheng, Jing Xi, and Jiang Bai stared grimly at the dark mass of the Mongol army, pondering their next move.
Jing Xi looked at the approximately 50,000 troops of the Mongol Kingdom and, having made up her mind, said directly, "Do you have a sand table? And a map? Let me see it."
"you?"
"How could a woman like me know anything about military strategy and warfare?"
Upon hearing this, several generals began to argue, saying that the Crown Prince was becoming increasingly incompetent, even bringing a woman with him when he went out.
Ji Mosheng and Jiang Bai looked at Jing Xi with concern, afraid that she would be hurt by these people's words.
Jing Xi chuckled and asked, "What's wrong with women? Do you look down on women?"
The general, not expecting the woman to be so defiant, said with a displeased expression, "Going to the battlefield to fight is a man's job. Women should go back and take care of their children." After saying that, he laughed arrogantly.
Wei Ting clenched his fist, wanting to punch the general who had just spoken, but Song Jue stopped him, signaling him with his eyes not to act rashly.
"Heh." Jing Xi gave a sarcastic laugh, revealing a cunning smile. Jiang Bai and Ji Mosheng saw this and silently moved away from her. That general was going to be in trouble.
Jing Xi flashed and instantly appeared in front of the general. He tried to reach out to stop her, but Jing Xi was too fast and there was no time to react. Jing Xi simply raised her hand and delivered a powerful blow to his chest, completely stunning him.
How could Jing Xi let him off the hook? She kicked the general to the ground, stepped on his face, and laughed, "Keep talking. What's wrong? Are you mute? Didn't you look down on women? Well, women have trampled you underfoot."
The man on the ground felt deeply humiliated and wanted to fight back but couldn't. Jing Xi simply raised her hand and punched him in the face, which soon swelled up like a pig's head. During this time, someone tried to step forward to intervene, but was intimidated by a single look from Jing Xi.
Jing Xi stopped hitting her only after she had completely calmed down. Looking at her slightly red hands, she said in a shocking way, "You're so shameless. Look how red my hands are."
No one else dared to speak up. Tell me, why did you provoke her for no reason?
