After Luo Lingwei and the others left the government office, she arranged for some people to go to her restaurant to eat. After finding out that old man Wang and the others were in place of Xiao Bai to bury her father, she was very impressed with the spirit of these old people. She immediately ordered the head storekeeper in charge of all the names to take several hundred taels of silver from the cabinet and give it to the old men. When the elders saw the favor bestowed by the wangfei, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Meanwhile, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing knew Luo Lingwei's character. She hated it when people would kowtow, so she quickly pulled the few elders up.

After receiving these silver taels, the seniors' lives gradually improved. After purchasing some land, they gradually became richer.

On the other side, after Luo Lingwei and the others had sent off old man Wang, Zhao Wei's smiling face instantly turned cold. Luo Lingwei couldn't help but think of Ye Lianhe. He thought to himself, as expected of one of Nightingale's men, even his personality is the same.

"Lord Envoy, I dare to speak to you." She saw Zhao Wei bow to her.

Luo Lingwei was stunned. Zhao Wei had been calling her 'boss' all the way, but now he was calling her with such seriousness. This made her a little not used to it.

"Go ahead." Luo Lingwei knew that with Zhao Wei being so serious, something bad was definitely going to happen.

"The envoy also knows that our journey to the barbarian race was extremely dangerous. This subordinate knows that you are worried about my safety and thus exposed your identity. However, this way, the envoy will be in great danger …"

Luo Lingwei knew he was going to say these words and hurriedly made a gesture to stop him.

"Just say it directly. What are we going to do next?" Luo Lingwei felt helpless towards Zhao Wei. After all, even though this Zhao Wei was completely loyal to her, sometimes he just nagged too much, nagging to the point of making people feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Wei straightened his body and said seriously to Luo Lingwei, "This subordinate has the guts to agree three times with the envoy."

Luo Lingwei nodded and said, "Speak, which three chapters?"

Zhao Wei thought for a moment, then said, "Firstly, our whereabouts have already been exposed today, to prevent any problems, we need to rest for a while, then we will hurry on our way. First, our whereabouts have already been exposed today, in order to prevent any problems, we need to rest for a while, then we will hurry on our way.

Luo Lingwei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she agreed to his request.

"What else?"

Zhao Wei continued, "After we resupply the rations and other useful items in the Ming Lin Manor, for the rest of the journey, we should try our best not to live in our own names and not casually expose our identities."

Without waiting for Luo Lingwei's response, Zhao Wei said a third rule, "Since the envoy has never left the capital, and the journey this time is very dangerous, we have already disguised ourselves, so I hope that the envoy can suffer for a while. During this time, we will listen to our subordinate's arrangements, and when the envoy reaches the border safely, we will request the envoy to punish our subordinate for the crime of transgression."

Luo Lingwei was at a loss for words. Since Zhao Wei had already said this, she could not say anything else. She could only let him arrange things.

That evening, the group of people rode on the carriage and left before the city gates were closed. Not long after they had left, the guard heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned around and saw Lu Pingliang rushing to the city gate with his men.

"Did someone just leave the city?" Lu Pingliang asked anxiously.

"Sir, someone has indeed left the city just now." The guard by the side cupped his hands and replied.

"Master Lu, you don't need to care about what happens next. We will part ways here." The leader, a big man, saluted to Lu Pingliang and led them to the gate of the city.

The guard was someone with eyes as well, so he hurriedly opened the city gate for them, and they galloped away on their horses.

On the other side, Luo Lingwei's group was taking two boxes of jewelry. The group had a lot of people, and the sky was starting to darken, so they were walking very slowly.

In the Ming Lin Province, the remaining people were given a good horse. They were all elite soldiers of the Imperial Guards, and they were trained in horse stance and marching, so if they had a horse, they would be able to fight back when the enemy attacked.

Earlier, Zhao Wei had sent out two people to scout the area, and the two people reported that they found an abandoned temple in front of them. Zhao Wei decided to spend the night in that dilapidated temple.

The group of people hurried on, and after another quarter-hour, they finally arrived at the dilapidated temple.

After arriving at the temple, Luo Lingwei and Little Qing waited for these rough men to clean up the temple before going in to rest. The group had already been assigned their turns. At this moment, Zhao Wei was looking at the map and figuring out how to get to the border quickly.

At this moment, Zhao Wei heard the slight sound of hooves coming from the wind. His heart skipped a beat and he knew something was going to happen.

"Quick!" Extinguish the fire! "Prepare to defend!"
