As the caravan set off, Zuo Yu, Li Yun and Ye Zixun also mixed in the caravan in the name of caravan guards.

On the official road, Zuo Yu rode a tall horse, walking side by side with Li Yun and Ye Zixun. From time to time, he turned his head and glanced at the carriage in the center of the convoy.

"This Su Tan'er does have some skills." Zuo Yu smiled and transmitted his voice, "If Ning Yi is as powerful as in the original novel, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to make an exception and accept him into the alliance - Hey, Old Ye, what are you looking at!"

“…”

Ye Zixun glanced at Miss Lu who was serving as a groom for Su Tan'er in front of the carriage, frowned and whispered, "That's not right. If this Miss Lu is Lu Hongti, the female leader of the Luliang Mountain in the original novel, then she should have sneaked into the team when Su Tan'er went south to Hangzhou. How come she was already mixed up with Su Tan'er in Huzhou?"

"You still remember such details..."

"Of course!" Ye Zixun frowned and said, "Old Zuo, along the way, many of the things we have seen and heard are somewhat different from the original work. It would be a bit far-fetched to attribute it all to the butterfly effect. I am more inclined to..."

"Ning Yi is not the only time traveler in this world."

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Is this what you want to say?"

Ye Zixun nodded.

Zuo Yu agreed, "I think so too. This world is connected to the void, and there is a high probability that our fellow countryman exists there. If Ning Yi is just an indigenous traveler as we guessed, then there must be another traveler in this world."

"Not necessarily." Li Yun shook his head. "Didn't you say that this world is probably a mixture of the novel and the TV series? It's normal to have some differences, right?"

"Indeed... Never mind, after saying so much, I still have to go meet Ning Yi first!"

Zuo Yu smiled slightly, then rode his horse to the front of the caravan, looking at the mountains and rivers ahead with great interest, hoping that a group of green forest heroes would emerge from the woods on both sides of the official road to add a little excitement to this boring journey.

Ye Zixun thought for a moment, then rode his horse to the carriage and approached Guardian Geng who was guarding the carriage.

"Brother Geng, who on earth is this Miss Lu? How could she fight with my brother for so many rounds?"

“…”

Guardian Geng glanced at Ye Zixun, who looked curious, and shook his head, "I don't know either."

Ye Zixun continued to ask curiously: "Then you should know Miss Lu's name, right?"

Guardian Geng twitched his lips and shook his head again, saying, "My son-in-law once said that it is not a gentleman's behavior to criticize behind someone's back. If Master Ye really wants to know about Miss Lu, you might as well ask her yourself."

...Can your brother-in-law say this?

You think I don’t know Ning Yi?

Ye Zixun rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, threw the reins in his hand to Guardian Geng, and then jumped towards the carriage.

“Shua——”

With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade was swung towards Ye Zixun who was falling from the air without any hesitation.

Ye Zixun's face turned dark, and he took out a silver dagger, separated the blade in mid-air, and then used the force to do a front flip, landing on the seat in the front of the carriage and sitting next to Miss Lu.

A black shadow flashed and the carriage shook, startling Su Tan'er and the maid Juan'er in the carriage.

But before they could speak, Ye Zixun's voice came from the front.

"Don't panic, Madam Ning. It's me."

"…It turned out to be Master Ye."

The master and servant in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Zixun bowed through the gauze curtain, and then looked at Miss Lu with a smile.

Miss Lu glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "Sure enough, you are also a master."

Ye Zixun smiled and said, "Miss, you are too kind. My brothers and I have learned from a great master. Our skills are not good enough, which is a disgrace to our master. But you, young lady, can actually reach the threshold of a master as a woman... You should not be an unknown person, right?"

“…”

Miss Lu did not reply.

Ye Zixun was not annoyed, and continued leisurely: "I heard that there is a Qingmu Village in Luliang Mountain in the northwest. There is a leader in the village who can be said to be invincible in Luliang. The leader seems to be a woman, and her surname is also--"

Before he finished his words, the cold knife light came again and then stopped steadily on Ye Zixun's neck.

Miss Lu said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Ye, be careful with your words."

Ye Zixun's expression remained unchanged. He gently pushed away the blade from his neck and said with a smile, "Don't worry. The internal energy I have cultivated can condense my voice into a line. Madam Ning and her maidservant won't be able to hear it."

“…”

Miss Lu was slightly startled, turned her head to look at the motionless carriage, then pondered for a moment and put away her sword.

Ye Zixun smiled and said, "So, you are Lu Hongti?"

Lu Hongti nodded silently without saying anything.

Ye Zixun asked curiously, "The leader of Qingmu Village actually followed two weak women into Hangzhou City. What is your purpose?"

Lu Hongti frowned and said expressionlessly, "I went south to look for someone, and was chased by my enemies on the way. It was Miss Su who took me in. People from Luliang always take revenge and repay kindness, so I will definitely escort them to Hangzhou. Although you three brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, if you dare to do anything bad to Miss Su, I will kill you all, even if it means we will perish together!"

Ye Zixun smiled and said nonchalantly, "Boss, you are too kind!"

Lu Hongti glanced at him one last time, then concentrated on driving the carriage and no longer paid attention to Ye Zixun.

Perhaps it was because the goods carried by the caravan were fabrics for sewing official uniforms during the Yongle reign, and Lord Min, who was in contact with the cloth shop, had already made arrangements. As a result, not a single so-called outlaw hero encountered along the way dared to attack the caravan.

This made Zuo Yu very disappointed.

But it doesn’t matter. Zuo Yu is a person who cannot be bound by worldly rules.

Therefore, every time the convoy passed a mountain stronghold or a bandit's den, Zuo Yu's exceptionally handsome BMW would disappear.

Then, Su Tan'er and others would see Zuo Yu draw the sword from his waist and express indignation that he would make the horse thief pay the price.

Whenever Zuo Yu made such a declaration, his two sworn brothers would quietly pack their weapons and leave the convoy with Zuo Yu.

After a while, the three brothers would return with the intact horse, their clothes would be free of blood, and the weapons they carried would be clean.

But the murderous aura he carried after killing someone could still shock all the accompanying personnel in the convoy.

——Except for the official from the Ministry of Personnel of the Yongle Dynasty who contacted the convoy.

Although these green forest heroes did not nominally join Fang La's army, they all obeyed the command of the Holy Duke.

The three Zuo Yu brothers were not seeking revenge for their horse theft; they were clearly trying to dig out the source of soldiers for Fang La's army!

So, when Zuo Yu "lost" his mount again, the Fang La military official drew his sword in anger and chased after him with seven or eight guards, seemingly intending to teach these three arrogant brothers a lesson.

But when Zuo Yu and others came back again, Su Tan'er saw Zuo Yu holding the official from the Ministry of Personnel's shoulders, talking and laughing with a very familiar look on his face.

The official from the Ministry of Personnel seemed to be smiling and nodding repeatedly, agreeing with Zuo Yu's words, but in fact his legs were trembling and he was extremely afraid of this man.

As for the guards around him, it is said that they have died at the hands of those hateful bandits...

From then on, unless they had to show up in public, the officials from the Ministry of Personnel would basically hide in the carriage. It seemed that they had been frightened by the three brothers with great martial arts skills.

Although Su Tan'er was a little shocked by this, she was also happy to see it happen.

After all, the three Zuo Yu brothers often hung around her carriage.

With them around, the probability of being discovered by the Fang La army officials would be much lower.

In this way, after countless episodes, the convoy finally arrived in Hangzhou City.

With the token from the Ministry of Personnel, the convoy easily entered the city gate, and Su Tan'er and others also took the opportunity to sneak into Hangzhou.

But the cloth carried by this convoy was to be sent to the Ministry of Personnel after all. After a little thought, Su Tan'er called Zuo Yu over and asked him to have a chat with the accompanying official from the Ministry of Personnel so that they could take the opportunity to leave the convoy.

Zuo Yu glanced at her through the carriage window with a half-smile, and then readily agreed.

Taking advantage of the time that Zuo Yu delayed for them, Su Tan'er, Guardian Geng and others slipped out of the convoy.

Her maid, Miss Juan'er, stayed behind and traded with people from the Yongle Dynasty on her behalf.

In order to protect Juan'er, Su Tan'er also specially asked Lu Hongti to stay.

But it turned out that her worries were unnecessary...

The person in charge of the transaction in Fang La's army did want to make things difficult for the caravan and get this batch of high-quality cloth for free, but before Lu Hong could make an effort to intimidate them, the official from the Ministry of Personnel who was accompanying the caravan flew into a rage and slapped the person who was making things difficult so hard that his mouth was full of blood.

After teaching this ignorant pawn a lesson, the official from the Ministry of Personnel put on an air of righteousness and expressed his willingness to trade fairly with the convoy.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Hongti's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help turning his head to glance at Zuo Yu, Li Yun and Ye Zixun in the convoy.

The three of them noticed Lu Hongti's eyes and turned to look over.

Zuo Yu smiled slightly and bowed towards Lu Hongti.

“…Good trick.”

Lu Hongti walked past the three people calmly, leaving behind these light words.

Although they had not been together for a long time, she had already more or less identified with Zuo Yu and the others.

Judging from their performance in the past few days, the three Zuo Yu brothers are even more ruthless and hate evil than she is!

"If there is a chance, maybe we can consider inviting them to Luliang Mountain..."

While thinking this, Lu Hongti walked towards the back of the convoy.

Just then, a patrol team of soldiers passed by on the street at the rear of the convoy.

"Brother, do you know what happened at the East Gate?"

"What?"

"The Tyrant Blade Camp and Master Bao Tianshi are fighting!"

"Ah?" The young soldier's eyes widened. "Why?"

"Hehe, you know that Master Bao has no other hobbies but women. After conquering Hangzhou, his men often kidnapped decent women in the city. But this time, they seem to have kidnapped the wrong person. They kidnapped Commander Chen Fan's lover!"

"With Commander Chen's temper, he definitely wouldn't tolerate this kind of thing, so he stopped Master Bao in the street."

"Commander Liu of the Tyrant Blade Battalion has always had a good relationship with Commander Chen. This time, he is bringing the Tyrant Blade Battalion to support Commander Chen..."
