"Master, is Changsui City very large?"
"Yes, it's very big."
"How about compared to Yanchuan City?"
"It's twice the size of Yanchuan City."
"Master, is the food in Changsui City good?"
"I don't remember."
"Master, how are the people of Changsui City?"
Zhao Cheng answered the previous questions quickly, but when it came to this one, he thought for a moment and said, "None of them are as good as me."
Xia Qi glanced at Qiu Shu, then pouted and said, "How bad would that be..."
Zhao Wu drove the car, and the only people in the carriage were the twin sisters Zhao Cheng and Xia Qiqiu. The two girls talked non-stop the whole way, very excited about their upcoming trip abroad.
This made Zhao Cheng a little dizzy, and he started to miss Dong Hua.
The sound of galloping hooves approached, and after a short distance along the rhythm of the cart wheels, one could vaguely hear a conversation between someone and Zhao Wu.
A moment later, Zhao Wu said, "Master, the General's Mansion's troops are behind us."
Zhao Cheng asked, "How far are Zhou Chuan and his sister from them?"
“Zhou Chuan was the one who discovered the place between us and them.”
"Maintain a constant speed and keep Zhou Chuan concealed."
"yes."
Once the sound of horses' hooves had faded into the distance, Zhao Cheng snorted and said, "Wang Yuluan and his mother probably can't hold back any longer. Where's the nearest inn up ahead?"
Zhao Wu said, "We'll reach Shiligou in western Sichuan today. There are inns there, but the conditions aren't very good."
"Then we'll stay at the inn in Shiligou tonight. If Wang Yuluan stops behind us while keeping the same pace as us, then something's definitely fishy!"
"clear!"
Xia Qi asked, "Master, what are they going to do?"
"You two be quiet, I need to think of a solution." Zhao Cheng lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
Xia Qi pulled back the car curtain and looked out the window, her eyes shining. She said, "The mountains over there are so beautiful! Qiu Shu, look! There are so many birds flying around."
Qiu Shu said, "Wow, it really is!"
Zhao Cheng: "..."
As Zhao Cheng had predicted, after they stayed overnight in Shiligou, western Sichuan, Wang Yuluan and his group also stopped. Since there were no inns nearby, they chose to set up camp on the spot, which made Zhao Cheng even more certain of his guess, thinking that Wang Yuluan was up to something.
As previously agreed, Zhou Chuan and his sister would stay at the same inn, and Zhao Cheng told them to be vigilant at night.
Nothing happened that night.
Before setting off the next day, Zhao Cheng instructed Zhou Chuan and his sister to walk through the woods beside the official road and to stay close to the group.
The group had only walked two miles out of Shiligou in western Sichuan when they saw a group of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, maintaining a strange posture.
A few people were standing, while twenty or thirty were kneeling. Behind them lay about a dozen corpses, indicating that a battle had just taken place.
They blocked the road. Zhao Cheng didn't let Zhao Wu stop. The closer they got, the clearer it became. There were no words or patterns on their clothes to identify them.
"drive!"
Zhao Wu cracked his whip and called out loudly, "Friends in front, please make way!"
Liu Bo glanced at the carriage and said, "Are you stupid? Can't you see the situation?"
Zhao Wu didn't stop and asked, "What's the situation? All I know is that if you don't move aside, the carriage will run you over."
"I am the king of this mountain!!"
The eight henchmen behind Liu Bo stepped forward, some carrying broadswords, some axes, and others carrying spiked clubs. Each of them was armed with large weapons and looked formidable. Only Liu Bo was empty-handed.
Zhao Wu was taken aback. He knew that "mountain king" was a slang term, meaning someone who occupies a mountain and becomes king. Mountain bandits wouldn't call themselves mountain bandits.
"Then you guys get to work, I won't bother you."
"What kind of work?"
Zhao Wu glanced at the kneeling people and said seriously, "Weren't they kidnapped by you?"
Among the kneeling men, the leader shouted, "I am also the king of this mountain!"
Zhao Wu was filled with respect and said, "Oh, so you're ripping someone off!"
Before setting off, Liu Bo hadn't expected this outcome. Although they had taken a detour to get here, they hadn't found any bandits when they first arrived.
Based on Zhao Cheng's pace, he expected Zhao Cheng to pass by here at night, so he laid an ambush in advance, but he didn't see Zhao Cheng at all after lying in ambush all night.
But they dared not let their guard down, nor did they dare to leave to rest, fearing that Zhao Cheng and his group would arrive as soon as they relaxed. So they waited and waited, and finally a group of people appeared, only to find that they were bandits who had just returned from a robbery!
So the two groups started fighting, and then Zhao Cheng arrived...
Although Liu Bo felt that he and his brothers were far superior to Zhao Cheng and his group, after years of experience in the martial arts world, he was used to making the best preparations to maximize his chances of victory. He would ambush them when necessary and launch surprise attacks when appropriate.
Liu Hufa was very angry after his plan was disrupted.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Bo said aggressively, "Stop everything! Everyone in the carriage, get out and kneel down!"
Zhao Wu cracked his whip again and shouted, "Are you blind? Can't you recognize the markings on the carriage? This is the Right Prime Minister's carriage!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bo and his men didn't react much, but the kneeling bandits all looked surprised, and some whispered among themselves, "It really is from the Right Prime Minister's residence!"
"Are these men on horseback soldiers from the Right Chancellor's Office?"
"This is a tough one..."
Seeing that the carriage was about to run over them, Zhao Wu showed no sign of stopping. Liu Bo took a step back in anger and shouted, "I don't know anything about the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, just kill him!"
"Are the bandits so bad these days? They don't even recognize the soldiers from my Right Prime Minister's Office."
