Firstly, it would allow Yun Menglan to see the outside world, and secondly, it would allow her to avoid the pestering of the third prince.

With the Third Prince's character, he really would do such a thing. Moreover, if he continued to fail again and again, there was a high chance that he would take any action.

Even if not, he had to be careful.

After hearing her father's words, Yun Menglan's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile, "Thank you, father, for fulfilling my wish."

Mo Chen first returned to his residence, took his weapons and some things to bring with him, then headed straight to the main entrance of the Yun Mansion. According to the agreement, he agreed to pay Mo Chen to wait outside the main entrance of the Yun Mansion, and as soon as he stepped outside, Mo Chen did not disappoint him.

Since he had offended the Third Prince, in Mo Chen's eyes, many people wanted to draw a clear line between them and avoid him, lest they be affected by it. However, this did not affect Fu Wan. This made him slightly touched.

Outside of the gate, besides the ten million taels of silver, there were also twenty or so servants dressed in ordinary clothing, three carriages carrying goods, and a luxurious carriage that was big enough to accommodate three people. However, Mo Chen could feel that the weakest of these people was only at the third stage of the initial artifact.

Presumably, his wife wouldn't be at peace on this journey to Stone City.

"Bro, you're finally here. Come, let's get on the carriage."

As soon as he saw Mo Chen walk out of the door, Fu Wan immediately went up to him with a smile on his face.

Mo Chen did not say anything and thanked her. Then, together with Fu Wan, they sat in the carriage. Afterwards, the carriage, under the order of Fu Wan, slowly headed in the direction of Stone City.

"Elder Brother Fu, will this journey be peaceful?"

Feeling the bumpiness of the carriage, Mo Chen pondered for a moment before asking.

Hearing that, Fu Li nodded his head and said helplessly: "It's more than not peaceful, it's practically not peaceful at all. In the Stone Woods, which is a road that must be passed through, mounted gangsters plunder wantonly, and they basically kidnap us merchants. "Even though I can sit in the general's ceremony, that's because I'm a slightly famous businessman in Stone City, right here."

"Then based on the speed of the carriage, how many days do we need to go before we can reach Stone City?"

Mo Chen frowned slightly as he continued to ask.

After calculating for a bit, Fu Million then said, "According to the progress, it usually takes ten days to half a month to reach Stone City. However, this is in accordance with the peace of the land."

"Yes, I understand."

Mo Chen nodded his head to show that he understood.

After that, the two of them chatted for a while and stopped talking. Mo Chen also closed his eyes. Just now, he had drunk a few cups of wine. Now that the alcohol had begun to vibrate in the carriage, he felt a bit dizzy.

If the Third Prince was still considered to be a foppish young lord, then it was obvious that he had sent people to outflank them. In other words, not only would there be mounted gangsters waiting for them in the future, but the Third Prince's men would also appear. However, it was unknown what sort of identity the Third Prince would have.

If this world truly had restrictions, then the black iron grade experts would definitely be the elite of the palace. With the third prince's status, he definitely wouldn't be able to move them.

If someone else could challenge someone stronger than them, why couldn't he? If this was in the past, he would not be a god given to him, even if he had this kind of arrogance, he wouldn't be able to change anything, and would instead be mocked by others. Although he was not afraid of being mocked by others, he was not alone, and there was still Big Sister Qing Er, he had to think for her, but now, he was no longer an ordinary person, and his potential was limitless.

It was not that he was a lowly person, but rather it was the pride that he accumulated in his heart. It was just that the time had not come yet, and now it was time for it to explode.

However, what made Mo Chen disappointed was that even after an entire day of travel, there was still no one to stop him. This made Mo Chen extremely depressed and helpless.

If the thoughts in Mo Chen's mind were to be found out, he would not know whether this fatty would fly into a rage and beat Mo Chen up.

Being unable to encounter any obstructions was the most desirable thing for a merchant, as this was the best way to reduce his unnecessary losses. However, Mo Chen, on the other hand, hoped that someone would come to intercept him.

The following ten days were similarly similar, going extremely smoothly. On the way, they didn't encounter any mounted gangsters or people sent by the Third Prince. However, Fu Wan became restless.

"Strange, we are almost out of the Stone Forest's range, why haven't the Sand River Village appeared yet? Did they all change? Not snatching business? I would rather believe that a sow would climb a tree! "

Fu Li pulled open the curtain of the carriage, looked at the boundless desert, and then put it down again. He sat in his seat and muttered to himself.

Mo Chen looked at Fu Wan who was muttering to himself. He smiled faintly and joked, "Maybe he really has changed his career."

The terrain here was strange. When the war broke out, this could be said to be the first fortress. However, if there was no war, then most of the territory would be occupied by mounted gangsters. The leader of the mounted gangsters was the Sand River Town.

As long as it was a caravan that passed by, they would not let them go. They would definitely rob them until they didn't even have a pair of underwear left. As for the women, needless to say, they would definitely be captured and played around in the village. Not to mention, how could he let go of such a fat fish that was leaking oil?

Originally, the soldiers of Stone Village wanted to annihilate this stronghold, but unfortunately, the terrain here was too complicated, and it seemed like these mounted gangsters had stayed here for a very long time. If the stronghold were to be destroyed, it would definitely be a thousand enemies to destroy it, and it would harm itself to eight hundred soldiers.

This group of mounted gangsters were also very smart and valued this point, which was why they dared to act so recklessly and recklessly. However, they would absolutely not extend their hands out of the stone forest!

Under normal circumstances, as long as a group of people entered the stone forest, it would take at least half a day or even a day before a mounted gangster blocked their way.

However, it was a little strange at this moment. Mo Chen and his group had already entered the stone forest for five to six days, and they were about to leave, yet there was still no sign of the mounted gangsters.

There must be something strange going on," he thought. "Judging from his many years of experience in business, it seems like his heart is beating fast.

"Sigh!" "If that's the best way, then all these years, I have been suffering heavy losses because of this group of mounted gangsters. However, I am still able to survive without being able to profit, then for a merchant, that would be too much of a failure."

Fu Li shook his head, left hand massaging his right hand's heart as he sighed.

"There will always be a way." There will always be a way.

Mo Chen patted Fu Wan's shoulder as he consoled him.

After these few days of interaction, Mo Chen had a rough understanding of Fu Wan's personality. Although this person looked wealthy, like the coal mine owner, he was not like him at all. On the contrary, he was rather modest and amiable.

Hearing this, Fu Wan's face turned serious, "You must be joking."

"Master, the sky is about to darken. Are we going to camp here tonight? Otherwise, if we wait a bit longer, we won't be able to withstand the cold. "

At this moment, a servant shouted from outside the carriage.

Hearing this, Fu Wan once again lifted the curtain, then looked outside at the terrain, then said: "Let's do it here!"

After finishing his sentence, he turned to Mo Chen and smiled, "Let's go down. We can only temporarily camp here. Tomorrow at noon, we should be able to leave the stone forest. At that time, we won't need to be so worried."

"I will be in charge." After sitting in the carriage for the entire day, Mo Chen was a little tired from the bumpy ride and naturally did not object.

Afterward, the two of them got off the carriage one after the other, while the servants began to busy themselves with setting up the tents and lighting the fires.

The Stone Woods was as cold as winter when it came to night. If a fire was not lit to keep the forest warm, an ordinary person would become a zombie that night.

However, just as everyone was busy with their work and Mo Chen got off the carriage, Mo Chen suddenly felt a killing intent. This made Mo Chen's heart tighten and he quickly looked around. He immediately laid down on the ground and placed his ear on the ground.

Three breaths later, Mo Chen jumped up from the ground.

"Bro, what's wrong?" Fu Wan who was at the side couldn't help but ask as he saw Mo Chen perform a series of strange actions.

Mo Chen's expression had already become very serious. After hearing the question, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Tell everyone to stop their work and prepare to attack. There are quite a number of horses coming this way. They are approaching in full force, so I'm afraid they're not good."

"What!"

Hearing that, Fu Zhu did not ask how Mo Chen knew about it. Without saying anything further, he immediately opened his throat and roared loudly, "Quick! Prepare your weapons, someone is coming! "

As the sound of Fu Li's voice faded, everyone was slightly stunned. The sound of horses galloping could be heard, and the ground began to tremble due to the trampling of the horses' hooves.

When the crowd saw that someone was indeed coming over, they immediately took out their weapons and began to prepare for battle.

From the looks of their clothing, they were very similar to mounted gangsters, and most of them were between the first and fifth stage of cultivation. Although Mo Chen was not afraid of warriors of the fifth stage, Mo Chen also understood the principle of ants biting off more than they can chew, so he had already prepared to go all out.

Mo Chen and the rest didn't act rashly. They raised their guard as they waited for the group of horses to approach.

This time, Mo Chen received some reliable information. There were three leaders of this team of horses, and their strength was not inferior to his, but they were stronger than his. Mo Chen could not see the strength of the three men, but he could roughly guess that all three of them were Bronze grade, and they were more than one stage stronger. This was because their auras were several times stronger than Bu Fang's!

With this, Mo Chen's eyes immediately narrowed. It seemed that this group of people had come prepared.

"Who is Mo Chen!"

However, what Mo Chen did not expect was that the moment this team of horses stopped, the middle-aged man in the middle immediately spoke up. However, he did not open his mouth to rob them. Instead, he asked a question!

They were looking for Mo Chen!

It seemed that they had really come prepared. Just who had sent this group of people?

As Mo Chen thought of this, he had already understood one thing. After a moment of silence, Mo Chen stood up and said with a faint smile, "Are you looking for me?"

"Haha!" You have guts! He actually dared to stand out! Good! Today, our Sand River Village does not want to rob your caravan, you can scram immediately, but, this brat, must stay! "

Beside the middle-aged man in the lead, another bald middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said.

When the caravan that was paying 10 million heard this, they immediately let out a sigh of relief. If it was only Mo Chen, then they wouldn't have to go all out. This was simply too good.

However, he did not panic at all. Instead, his face was filled with a smile as he rubbed his hands together, "Um, you three leaders, look, this little brother is new. You have a lot of seniors, so don't bother with him, alright?"

As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver taels from his bosom.
