It was a sunny day early in the morning, but the road became increasingly desolate, with thick vegetation all around. It must have been a place where nearby villagers passed by when hunting or collecting herbs.
Xiao Cunyu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
I was careless!
"It seems like there's a carriage following behind... but it's a little far away, so we need to wait a while before catching up." After a while, Xu Bin said again after investigation.
He looked at Xiao Cunyu with some worry.
Now that his status is suppressing him, he can no longer call out words like "little brother".
"Forget it, let's see where he's taking me! What if I get injured if I jump out of the car now? It's not good to argue with the driver. What if he goes crazy and scares the horses? Then I'll be dead, right?" Xiao Cunyu calculated carefully, looked at the not-so-good environment around him, and felt that it was safer to stay in the car.
Besides, there were too many weeds and she didn’t want to go home in dirty clothes, which would tarnish her image.
Xu Bin did not refute Xiao Cunyu, but floated to the coachman in a gloomy manner.
A gust of cold air blew on the driver's neck, and he shuddered violently: "Oh my god, it's so cold all of a sudden..."
"Just blow some cold air on him and he'll get seriously ill when he gets home." Xiao Cunyu shouted outside.
The driver was startled.
From the moment Young Master Xiao got on the car, I could faintly hear him saying something. His voice was not very clear, and this sentence... was very abrupt.
"Young master, please wait, we will be there soon." The driver suppressed his anxiety and immediately said.
Xiao Cunyu leaned against the door frame, legs crossed, and said nonchalantly, "Where are you going? The King of Hell's Palace?"
"..." The driver swallowed involuntarily, "My lord, you may not know that this road is shorter..."
"Do you know about the cycle of cause and effect? If you do something wrong, you will be unlucky. Let me guess, do you feel cold all over and uncomfortable now? Your scalp is tight, and you have the illusion that someone is pinching your ankle?" Xiao Cunyu said in a melodious voice, neither hurried nor slow.
The driver's mouth was dry.
It does feel a bit strange, but... the trees here are quite dense, blocking out a lot of sunlight, so it's normal to be a little shady.
This Mr. Xiao probably realized something was wrong and was trying to scare him on purpose.
The driver gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear.
At this time, the carriage behind was chasing relentlessly, and after about quarter of an hour, it finally caught up.
"Stop!" the other party shouted.
Xiao Cunyu took a look and saw a sign on the carriage, indicating that the owner's surname was "Qian".
Directly intercepting Xiao Cunyu's carriage, Qian Jialu quickly jumped down from the carriage: "Xiao Qi, get down quickly!"
Xiao Cunyu's coachman looked around, and the next moment, he abandoned his horse and fled, turning around and running into the woods.
"Xiao Qi, why are you still sitting there like an idiot? Didn't you realize you've taken the wrong road?" Qian Jialu was speechless. "I just heard from my coachman that your Xiao family's carriage broke down on the road, and the coachman who ran away just now is not your family at all!"
"You're the fool." Xiao Cunyu looked at him calmly, "Brother, you've been surrounded."
“???” Qian Jialu didn’t understand.
"The driver deliberately turned me here, he must have some ulterior motive. Now that he has run away, it proves that we have arrived at the destination. I guess someone will stand up the next moment and ask me to leave some money for passage." Xiao Cunyu said with great certainty.
"Have you become stupid from reading so much? How could there be bandits in a place like this?" This is at the foot of the imperial city!
Just as Qian Jialu finished speaking, there was a commotion in the forest.
Sure enough, in just a few moments, more than ten people surrounded the two carriages, each holding a knife in their hands.
"Who dares to cross Grandpa's territory? Get off your horse now! I'll spare your life and save your wealth!"
