“It should be.”

The soldier smiled at him ingratiatingly, a trace of greed flashed across his eyes, and he made a gesture of twirling money with his hand.

"That's done, too, then?"

Seeing this, Chen Wu sneered in his heart.

Then he took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it into the man's arms.

"Here, remember to watch your mouth."

The soldier picked it up with a smile, took a bite, then put it close to his body happily.

"Okay, don't worry. I've had a bad memory since I was a child. I forget everything you tell me the moment I turn my head!"

Soon, it became quiet outside again. Chu Yaoyao thought they had left and was about to stand up and move around.

System: Host, this person seems to have done something to the wheel.

Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao hugged her little body tightly with both hands.

[My car?! ]

System: No, it’s the one behind.

[First he tried to gain favor and test the waters, and now he's destroying the carriage. What on earth does that Chen guy want to do?! ]

As she was thinking, a loud shout came from outside: "Let's go!"

The convoy was on the road again.

The carriage was shaking and bumpy, but Chu Yaoyao didn't feel uncomfortable even though she was lying on the thick cushion. Instead, she fell asleep again in a daze.

At dusk, there was a sudden shout, "Oh no! The wheel is broken!"

This sound woke Chu Yaoyao up suddenly.

[System, is there something wrong with that carriage? ! ]

System: That's right, the wheels just fell off.

Outside, Chu You frowned as he looked at the broken wheel and asked the driver beside him in a deep voice.

“How long will it take to fix it?”

After a careful inspection, the driver wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Your Highness, this wheel is unusable. It will take at least an hour to get it back."

An hour? Chu You looked at the setting sun, which was only a tiny arc left in the distance, with a worried look on his face.

He had wanted to go into the city quickly and find an inn for everyone to rest, but he didn't expect such a change to happen! It seemed that they had to stay here for the night.

He Xi stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, this is a desolate mountain. Why don't we let the guards escort you into the city first and find an inn to stay in?"

Chu You shook his head, "No need!"

Then he looked around and pointed to the woods about a hundred meters away.

"Everyone, rest outside the woods tonight!"

…

At night, Chu Yaoyao learned from the system that the officers and soldiers around the carriage were already asleep, so she jumped down carefully.

She really couldn't hold it in any longer.

After walking deep into the woods and digging a small hole to take care of her urgent needs, she started walking back.

I had walked about a few dozen meters when I suddenly saw a suspicious figure.

[Could it be... the guy named Chen?! ]

Thinking of this, Chu Yaoyao followed quietly.

She hid behind a tree, then hid in a bush...

It's just like the secret agents in TV shows who stalk others and even know how to find cover to hide.

Not too far, not too close, not too fast, not too slow, always keeping a distance of seven or eight meters behind the man.

If the system had a body, it would definitely hold its forehead in frustration at this moment.

It's so speechless.

Did the host forget that he was wearing an invisibility cloak?

If it really reminded her, it thought Chu Yaoyao would roll her eyes.

What do you know? I'm just looking for excitement! The man in front of me suddenly stopped moving.

Chu Yaoyao looked around and finally ran to the bushes and squatted down. As she walked, the dead leaves on the ground were crushed, making a rustling sound.

【Why don’t you leave? 】

Just as I was wondering, the man suddenly turned around, "Who's there?!"

Chu Yaoyao quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

[No way? Did they discover me? ]

"I watched you walk over here, there was no one behind you."

As the voice sounded, a man in a black cloak walked out from behind a big tree.

"But I did hear the sound of dead leaves being crushed just now!"

She hadn't had time to listen carefully to the voice just now, but this time, Chu Yaoyao was 100% sure that the man was the guard named Chen!

The mysterious man laughed sarcastically, "I never thought that the master would bribe a coward like you."

"you……"

"This is a forest. You don't think you and I are the only living creatures here, do you?"

Seeing his contemptuous attitude, although Chen Wu was angry in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face.

After all, they will have to live in Xiyue in the future, and Die'er is still in their hands.

"I have already found out that those things were indeed made by the Second Prince."

Then he asked, "Did you ever hear them mention explosives?"

[You even know about explosives? 】

Chu Yaoyao squatted beside the bushes, trying to stick out her little head, staring at the two people with her big eyes.

【Who sent it? 】

"Explosives?!"

Chen Wu exclaimed, "You also know about this thing?!"

Seeing his expression, the mysterious man's tone became much more excited, "Did you really hear it?"

Chen Wu nodded slowly, "Eunuch Yang did mention this item today, and from what he said, it seems to have come from the Second Prince's hands."

"In that case, tomorrow you will do this..."

The mysterious man came closer and whispered something to him.

【What are you talking about? 】

Chu Yaoyao wanted to move closer, and the system quickly reminded her.

System: Host, watch your step! There are dead leaves all around here, be careful not to alert the enemy! Chu Yaoyao looked at the ground angrily. There was no way to get over there, so she could only stretch her neck as much as possible.

However, what she didn't notice was that the hood of her cloak was caught on a short branch, revealing half of her tender little face.

After a while, the mysterious man had left.

Only the furious Chen Wu was left there, "I will take care of it, but you are not allowed to hurt Die'er!"

Chu Yaoyao stamped her feet in annoyance.

If I had known, I would have watched the live broadcast! She accidentally stepped on a dead leaf, which made a slight rustling sound.

The sound attracted Chen Wu's attention. He quickly pulled out the knife he was carrying and slowly approached.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, his pupils dilated, his whole body stiffened, and the hand holding the knife seemed to have Parkinson's disease.

"You...monster...monster..."

System: Host, that...

Seeing him like this, Chu Yaoyao was very confused.

[System, look quickly, what's wrong with this person? ]

[Humph! Spy, big bad guy! ]

Taking advantage that the other party couldn't see her, Chu Yaoyao gave him the middle finger and made a face with her teeth bared.

The moonlight fell through the gaps between the tree branches, as if applying a layer of white fluorescence to her fair little face.

But in the eyes of others, he looked like an evil ghost with a pale face and a bloody mouth!

With this dark and silent environment, and the hair blowing in the wind...

In Chen Wu's eyes, it was extremely horrifying.

He lowered his head with a stiff neck, and he could faintly hear the sound of crackling, as if something was rusting.

There was a shadow on the ground. It wasn't a ghost, but it only had a head! "Ah! A monster!"

As soon as Chu Yaoyao made a face, Chen Wu let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of his eyes, and he fell straight down with a thud.

"Monster? Where are the monsters?"

Chu Yaoyao also looked around.

"You, who are you? No, what are you?!"

A familiar voice came from behind her. Chu Yaoyao felt guilty and slowly turned around.

That's not right, my second brother can't see me, so he's definitely not talking to me! After seeing her face clearly, Chu You's face lost all color, and he seemed to have lost all his strength. He took several steps back, and he raised the sword in his hand tremblingly.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you turn into my sister? What did you do to my sister?!"

【evildoer?】

Where is it? Chu Yaoyao looked around cautiously with a tense face.

He held an air bomb in one hand and a talisman in the other, and made the "hehe hahei" gesture.

[Don't be afraid, brother. I will protect you. We have both technology and metaphysics. You don't have to be afraid of anything! ]

system:……

Is there a possibility that people are afraid of you?

System: Host, please first...

[Shut up and don't bother me. I'm busy protecting my second brother! ]

I will protect second brother's safety!

Chu You blinked in confusion, as if it was Yaoyao's inner voice? Could it be that Yaoyao was trapped here? !

Chu You took a deep breath, suppressed the rising fear, and raised the sword high.

"You better give my sister back to me, otherwise, I will never let you go!"

[What is the second brother saying? I can’t understand a word.]

Chu Yaoyao was confused for a moment and scratched her head subconsciously.

This touch is bad!

[Oh my god! When did my hat fall off?!]
