Before Lu Yun left, the Shu Emperor Chen Mu repeatedly reminded him that he must agree to this matter, and he sounded so aggrieved.
He also said that he would try his best to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
When they went back, they still took the water route. After all, the water route was a little faster and less likely to be disturbed by others.
However, Lu Yun was still a little worried.
Sitting on the boat, he looked very worried as he explained to Ye Jiajia, "Hey, although we are traveling by water, we will definitely encounter dangers when we return to the Great Zhou."
"Until I leave the Great Zhou, many people will be heading to Shu. They will definitely try their best to block this road and make me die on the way back, just like last time."
Ye Jiajia frowned when she heard this and said with a smile, "What's the difficulty?"
"We can still disguise ourselves as before, right?"
Lu Yun shook his head, "If we change our appearance, we'll be moving a little slower."
"The situation is quite complicated now, so we need to get the news to the capital as soon as possible."
"If we delay for a few more days, our allies might feel uncomfortable."
"They might lose a city one day. After all, the King of Nan'an is no pushover."
Ye Jiajia sighed. Who knows about this?
"How do we get there?"
"We'll return to land and take a shortcut into the Great Zhou territory."
"It's a good option to travel through the mountains without riding a horse, which is a bit tiring."
"Ah?" Ye Jiajia was stunned for a moment. "Chen Yuan'er and I are both martial arts masters. If we use Qinggong to take shortcuts, crossing mountains and ridges will be much faster than riding a horse."
"What are you going to do?"
"You don't have Qinggong."
Lu Yun was a bit thick-skinned and smiled innocently, "How about one of you two consider carrying me on your back?"
"Don't worry, I'm very light! If you two carry me, it will be effortless. I can guarantee that."
Listening to Lu Yun's words, Ye Jiajia sighed, "I don't have the energy to carry you. However, if I can make you an eighth-grade master for a short period of time, then you should be able to keep up with me by using Qinggong."
"An eighth-rank master is different from a ninth-rank master, so I used less internal energy. You can hold on for a while longer."
"What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lu Yun immediately agreed! He worked hard to make a living.
However, having a woman carry me on her back is a rather novel experience.
If you have the chance in the future, you can try it.
After half a day, they finally arrived in the territory of Da Zhou. After getting off the boat, Lu Yun seemed extremely cautious.
Because he knew very well that as soon as he got off the boat, he might be targeted by many people, so he had to be very careful.
After getting off the boat, they sneaked into a woods. Because they planned to take a shortcut, they did not plan to put on makeup or disguise themselves, which would save a lot of time.
Pulling out the feng shui map, Ye Jiajia pointed at the pattern on it and explained, "I analyzed it carefully and I can climb over that mountain from this one."
"This way, we can go much faster, but we will definitely encounter many dangers along the way."
"Especially in a forest like this, it's perfectly normal to see wild beasts and venomous snakes."
Lu Yun had nothing to fear. How could a grown man like him be afraid of a wild beast? Besides, with a Grandmaster by his side, he was completely prepared.
"To be honest, even though I'm a Grandmaster, I still have to be very cautious when facing attacks from wolves, tigers and leopards."
Lu Yun nodded. Since he was taking the risk of taking this road, he naturally needed to be careful.
He had made full preparations. After the last assassination attempt, Lu Yun knew very well that the other party would not let it go.
Then last time they sent out a grandmaster but failed. This time they might shoot more and use that kind of elixir to assassinate again!
Or, use some weird things to kill yourself as much as possible.
Compared to this risk, jackals, tigers and leopards are nothing and are much more benign in comparison.
"There's nothing we can do about it. There are so many people along the way who are more dangerous than wolves, tigers and leopards."
"Isn't it said that there are very few Grandmasters in this world? Why have so many appeared recently?"
Ye Jiajia explained awkwardly, "No one says there are many or few Grandmasters in the world. They just say there are very few, but no one knows the exact number."
"There are many martial arts masters. According to this ratio, there are indeed very few grandmasters."
Lu Yun frowned and thought for a long time, and could only blame everything on the Han Empire. The Han Emperor must have been able to find many grand masters and even train them secretly. That really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Why would he target me for no reason? Was it because I ruined his plans, or was there another reason?
Just like that, along the mountain road, Lu Yun and the other two began to use their internal skills to cross mountains and ridges. It must be said that after acquiring internal skills, their legs became much lighter, and at the same time, they were able to increase their speed.
Ye Jiajia could attack faster, but she deliberately slowed down to take care of them.
In the wilderness, if they encounter any danger, the three of them naturally need to take care of each other and it is impossible for anyone to abandon anyone else.
Just like that, after a day, Ye Jiajia finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to their calculations, it would take another day to reach the capital.
I have to say, using feet is quite fast.
However, just as they continued walking, Ye Jiajia discovered something wrong. Around them, the traces of human trampling had turned into a series of small paths.
"There are traces of people living here, trampling on them for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, there's a gang of bandits living in the mountains."
"Ah?" Lu Yun was confused. Is there such a thing?
If they just don't provoke the bandits, there shouldn't be any problem.
But at this moment, several bustling sounds appeared around.
It seemed like someone was coming, and the three of them hid quickly.
Only to hear a big man's voice ring out, "Damn it, I've been looking for it for such a long time and still can't find it."
"Brother, why did you ask us to find two women and one man?"
"Don't ask. We just need to do what Big Brother tells us to do. Big Brother doesn't like people asking him why."
"But don't you think this is strange? Besides, it's out in the wilderness, and we brothers have been searching for so long, but there's no trace of him."
"Just listen to Big Brother, they will definitely pass by here."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Lu Yun and the others were stunned. What was going on? In this desolate wilderness, they could actually encounter bandits looking for someone. And according to the bandits' description, weren't they looking for the three of them?
