"Master, why did we come to this desolate wilderness?"
Behind Lin Xue were 10 men in tight-fitting clothes.
These were all bodyguards arranged for her by Her Majesty the Empress.
They also belong to the category of secret guards, and they never appear in people's sight on ordinary days.
Apart from Xuan Yi who stayed close to her, everyone else protected her from the shadows.
But this time, because the master and servants were going to act together, they were also called out.
Of course, Lin Xue had more than just these few people by her side; the rest were all left at the county government office to protect her four husbands.
"I have received reliable information that someone has discovered high-yield grain varieties in these barren mountains!"
"Our goal this time is to bring all these grain seeds back with us!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she continued to walk inside.
The mountain path was indeed very steep, and the stones underfoot were loose, loose rocks.
One careless step and you could slip and fall.
If it weren't for the fact that the people she brought with her all possessed martial arts skills, it would have been really difficult for an ordinary person to get through this journey.
"Master, why don't we go ahead and scout ahead first? If we just wander around aimlessly like this, when will we ever find it!"
The owner didn't say anything earlier that he was out looking for high-yield grain seeds.
These martial arts masters have it much easier for them to enter the mountains than their master does.
At worst, we can come a few days early and search the entire barren mountain; we'll eventually find it.
Why should the master risk his life himself?
"No need, I've already asked Hanmei to do it!"
"I had already contacted her before we came, and she was waiting for us up ahead!"
Lin Xue looked at the road in front of her; it was indeed difficult to walk.
However, she felt alright, at least the tail behind her had given up on following her.
Yes, ever since Lin Xue and her group left the yamen, there had been a pair of eyes following them in the shadows.
They could have chosen a better path, but Lin Xue deliberately chose this one to make things difficult for those behind them.
Regardless of who that person is.
If he tries to follow, he will inevitably be spotted by Lin Xue's men.
Although his own bodyguards were a bit weak, they were at least a step below the one behind him.
But no matter what, he can be considered a martial arts master. If he can't even detect the other party in a place like this, then he might as well not be a bodyguard and go home to grow sweet potatoes!
"Master, who is this Hanmei you are talking about?"
They had been by their master's side for many years and had never heard of anyone named Hanmei.
"Hanmei is my personal bodyguard and the person I trust most!"
"I just sent her out on a mission before, and she hadn't come back until recently. So I sent her here to look into high-yield grain varieties!"
Since 629 wanted to go out and have fun, she naturally had to arrange a suitable identity for him.
What status could be better than her personal bodyguard?
At least no one dared to openly disrespect the winter plum blossoms.
It's also more convenient to carry out tasks.
Although the guards still had doubts after hearing Lin Xue's words, they did not speak.
After crossing the rocky mountain, a beautiful woman appeared before them.
The woman was wearing a form-fitting soft armor suit, over which she wore a red dress, making her look bright and capable.
As women themselves, the guards were all somewhat stunned.
"Owner!"
629 already knew Lin Xue was coming, but since there were outsiders present, she still pretended to greet her.
"No need for formalities. Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and find high-yield grain varieties!"
"Has that location been confirmed? Are there any dangers in the surrounding area?"
When the two sides gathered together, Lin Xue asked about the situation there.
Of course, this question was also asked to a few of the bodyguards.
"That valley has abundant water, which is why some amazing crops grow there!"
"But there were wolves all around, and it was a very large pack, I estimate there were more than 200 of them!"
"Besides the wolf pack, there's also a black bear living not far away, which occasionally comes to the valley to drink water. Most importantly, there's also a giant python as thick as a water bucket in the valley, so the situation is quite complicated!"
The guards frowned upon hearing Hanmei's words.
This looks very dangerous!
If it were just the two of them, it would be worth a try, but it would be a bit difficult if the owner came along.
After all, wolves are ferocious, and even if they know martial arts, they can't say they won't get hurt.
What's more, what about the master who only has some rudimentary skills?
In the eyes of the guards, the original owner's skills were all just fancy moves.
It was merely a fancy display for court performances and could not possibly be used on the battlefield.
They complained in their hearts, but dared not say a word.
"Let's go there first, we'll see how things go later!"
Lin Xue ignored the expressions on the guards' faces, knowing that sooner or later they would see the power of their master.
The group walked for about half an hour, and although they had not yet reached their destination, they were blocked by a group of wild boars.
"Master, please step back and let us deal with these wild boars!"
The guards were all on edge, ready to charge at any moment.
Meanwhile, the wild boars, unaware of their presence, were still leisurely rooting around the fallen fruit.
"You protect our master, let me do it!"
Hanmei hadn't been out and about for a long time, and seeing this group of wild boars made her eager to try her luck.
"Just drive them away, there's no need to exterminate them!"
