Chapter 28 The Final Difficulty
Mo Ruyan and others didn't know what happened next.
They didn't know yet that the farm couple had inadvertently helped them slow down the pursuers, allowing them to escape safely.
A few days later, they encountered a group of foolish bandits who were robbing them on the road. Tan Qiyuan shot them all to death with a few shots.
Under Tan Qiyuan's order, the Silver-Armored Army took off their silver armor, put on bandits' clothes, and disguised themselves as traveling merchants passing by.
Mo Ruyan disguised herself as an ordinary rich girl.
After secretly giving them a few taels of silver, they successfully deceived the soldiers guarding the next city and entered the city to resupply supplies.
Mo Ruyan looked through the small window of the carriage. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the wanted poster of Lord Mo on the roadside. Her relaxed expression suddenly became sad and solemn again. She murmured in a low voice, "I wonder how Dad and Uncle Xu are doing now."
"Princess, there is no need to worry. The prince is far-sighted and powerful. He will be fine." The personal maid said in a clear voice.
"Um."
Mo Ruyan nodded silently. She couldn't even protect herself now and there was nothing she could do.
She could only pray silently in her heart that her father would not be caught as a traitor.
After all, attempting to rebel is a serious crime that will implicate nine generations of the family. By that time, not only him, but also his mother, and all the family forces behind them will all be beheaded in public.
In the following period of time.
Mo Ruyan always looked like she was worried about something, and her personal maid always stayed by her side.
The Silver Armored Army disguised themselves as ordinary guards and still dutifully protected them as they headed north.
Lai Yang is unknown and quietly improves his own strength, and he will not take action if he can avoid it.
Yang Kuan was still driving the carriage as usual. It seemed that what was happening in the outside world had nothing to do with him and he was indifferent.
Along the way, Tan Qiyuan took the initiative to use money to clear the way, and led everyone through one checkpoint after another smoothly and safely.
Before she knew it, a chill blew up the curtain of the small window of the carriage, making Mo Ruyan shiver with cold.
She subconsciously turned her head to look outside the carriage and saw light snow falling between the sky and the earth. A few snowflakes penetrated the window and entered the carriage.
"It's snowing?" Mo Ruyan showed a slightly surprised look.
"Yes, it's starting to snow."
Hearing Mo Ruyan's words, Lai Yang responded to her subconsciously.
"Winter is coming, and auspicious snow means a good harvest. I hope next year will be a year of peace and harvest." Mo Ruyan said softly with a touching smile on her face.
"Then I hope your wish will come true." Lai Yang turned his head to look at Mo Ruyan's profile and said lightly.
Mo Ruyan turned around, looked at Lai Yang with her clear and bright eyes, and asked curiously: "It sounds so perfunctory, don't you have your own wishes?"
"Of course, my wish is very simple."
"What is it?"
"I told you before, I want to find a place to live quietly."
"Don't you want to make achievements in your career, or study hard and take exams?"
"It's too dangerous to establish a career, studying for the imperial examination is too tiring, and passing the examination may not necessarily be a good thing. There are so many intrigues in the court, and I know that I am obviously not cut out for it. Finding a place to live a good life and live a free and easy life is enough for me."
Lai Yang smiled.
The so-called fame, wealth and power are like passing clouds to him.
The longer he lives, the longer he will live, and the stronger he will become, and he will have the opportunity to stand at a higher place and see the scenery.
Temporary fame and fortune mean nothing to him; he just wants to live a good life.
If you live long enough, you may be able to see different kinds of scenery on the road of life.
"Dad said that a good man has ambitions to conquer the world. He should be full of passion, hold a spear in hand, and wipe out the barbarians, build a career, and achieve unprecedented achievements."
Mo Ruyan seemed to want to say something to persuade Lai Yang, but was interrupted by the latter's words: "Those things should be handed over to those who need them. I don't need them."
"Why don't you need it?"
"Why would I need it?"
"I think you need it."
"I don't want you to feel that. I don't need it."
"You...you are a stubborn...stubborn...wood-headed..."
Mo Ruyan felt humiliated and her face turned red with anger.
Over the past month, everyone had gotten used to the way Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan spoke, and were no longer surprised.
After spending a long time together, any discerning person could see that Princess Wuyan obviously had some special feelings for the young man named Lai Yang.
But he seemed a little ungrateful, or more like he was pretending to be stupid.
They had almost finished their investigation a month ago, and it seemed that the other party had no background at all, he was just a commoner.
Mo Ruyan is the second daughter of King Tongwu, Mo Shenjun, and was given the title of Princess Wuyan.
One was a commoner, the other was a noble princess of a dynasty. The difference between their identities was as huge as that between heaven and earth.
Mo Ruyan always intentionally or unintentionally wanted to win over Lai Yang to join Beijiang City and persuade him to work under the King Wu's Mansion in order to improve his status.
But Lai Yang always evaded the question or pretended to be stupid to get away with it.
Maybe she knew it clearly in her heart, or maybe he really wasn't interested in this, but she just felt a little unwilling.
And she had a vague feeling that if she didn't do anything to keep him, he would be gone in the blink of an eye.
They will be returning to Beijiang City soon. Once they arrive in Beijiang City, it will be the territory of their Wuwang Mansion. They will think of a solution then.
Doesn't he want a quiet life? Then wait for Dad to come back and discuss with him to get him a place in Beijiang City so he can settle down with peace of mind. Then maybe he won't leave.
She remembered that there was a nice house next to Prince Wu's Mansion. They could buy it and then give it to Lai Yang.
First of all, to thank him for his help.
Secondly, it will also allow him to settle down in Beijiang City.
Thirdly, it is convenient for me to go and play with him anytime without having to worry about him running away again.
Kill three birds with one stone, what a great idea.
Thinking of Lord Mo, Mo Ruyan's expression suddenly became darker.
More than a month has passed. I don’t know whether they have successfully escaped from the imperial city. They must be safe.
Seeing that Mo Ruyan's expression suddenly became a little lost again, Lai Yang knew that she was thinking of Lord Mo again and was concerned about his safety.
Lai Yang shut up and said nothing more. It was useless to say too many words of comfort. Only the news that Lord Mo was safe and sound could dispel her worries.
If they want to find out the news about Lord Mo, they must first return to Beijiang City safely. Otherwise, they can't even protect themselves, let alone find out the news about other people.
The snow was not heavy, just like little white fluff floating freely in the air, melting on the body and bringing a cool feeling.
At this time, they had passed the last checkpoint. After walking along the official road for about ten days, they would reach their final destination: Beijiang City.
Just when they all thought that they could return to Beijiang City smoothly, an imperial army of 10,000 people had already been guarding the road they had to take.
Standing at the forefront of the army is the Great Yan Dynasty——
Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.
One of the only four fifth-rank grand masters in the court.
Wan Yunxiang is known in Jianghu as the 'Demon-Slaying Sword'.
