In front of them was a dense forest. Although the government road was still quite wide, it was surrounded by dense bamboo forest on both sides of the road. The dark and fine green leaves were rustling in the wind, while the tops of the bamboo forest were swaying like waves.
The Chen family's caravan was sitting on the roadside with their heads down. Some were cleaning up the mess while others were bandaging their wounds. They still had lingering fear in their eyes when they saw Murong Yu and the others coming over.
"Brother, what's going on?" Lan Ruocheng swept a glance around and saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader. He then took the initiative to step forward and ask.
The middle-aged man's left arm was injured and a skinny young man was helping him with the wound. He looked sullen as he raised his head to look at Lan Ruocheng and the others. "You guys are lucky. Those damn robbers left not long ago."
"This road has always been peaceful, why did there suddenly be bandits? "Could it be that these goods are too eye-catching?" Lan Ruocheng pretended not to understand.
The middle-aged man spat and said angrily: "I don't know where this bunch of bastards have come from. I have walked this road countless times a year, and this time I have come back from Jincheng with some New Year stuff. They are almost at home, but now they are all snatched away!"
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Luckily, those people are just asking for money." Think of it as saving the money to save the disaster! " Lan Ruocheng advised.
The middle-aged man got up and said: "It's not that I can't bear to part with those things but I can't let myself get away with it after what happened at the door. If I find out who did it, he will definitely be in trouble!"
"Brother, are you from Meng City?"
"Yes, I am Liu Dawu from Meng City, little brother is?" The middle-aged man was very generous. Even though he had just suffered, he was very polite in answering Lan Ruocheng's question.
I am Chen Ziruo and my cousin Chen Ziyu from Huan City. I have brought some cloth and tea leaves with me to Meng City. I really didn't expect there to be bandits on this road, and we don't have many people here either. I wonder how many of them are there? "
There are about twenty people, all of them strong and well-trained, I really don't know where they came from. If Brother Chen were to meet just a few of them, then perhaps he would not be a match for them. Liu Dazwu looked at Murong Yu and the others as he suggested.
Lan Ruocheng smiled. "That's great. We were just worrying about it. We didn't bring much cloth or tea, but it's good stuff." "If it wasn't because my grandmother's family was in a hurry to get it, there would be no need for me to rush it here."
"So that's how it is. It looks like it's going to be a new year soon. Why are we still doing business here? Luckily, Huan City isn't too far away," Liu Dazhu was still suspicious.
Lan Ruocheng smiled meaningfully, "Meng City is great. To tell you the truth, Big Brother Liu is not a good place to do business. My family once told me that he was destined to become an official. Let's come to Meng City …"
"Ziruo …" Before Lan Ruochen could finish her words, Mu Rong Yu shouted in dissatisfaction. He immediately stopped talking and pretended to be apologetic towards Liu Da Wu.
Liu Dawu seemed to suddenly realize something, and laughed: "Brother, you look really dignified, you are indeed the material for a government official. I just hope you can be a good official in the future, don't be like us …" "Forget it, little Gouzi. After instructing everyone to pack up and leave, we can now be considered to be in light clothes. Let's catch up and try to reach the city at night, even if we cannot reach the city, we can still reach its edge."
"Yes sir!" The petite young man answered and went to make the arrangements.
"My men will have to deal with this for a while longer. The two of you can continue on your way, but the distance from Meng City to Meng City is not that far. Once we leave this forest, we will have a broad road, and it should be fine." Liu Da Wu spoke a few more words to Lan Ruochen before turning around to inspect his men. His expression suddenly became much colder.
Lan Ruochen and Murong Yu looked at each other, nodded, and left.
"No progress? Is that woman doctor not good enough? Or did she remember something and just not say it? " Young Master Lin said in a dissatisfied tone, a trace of gloom flashing across his gentle face.
"Who knows what's going on? She still doesn't remember anything, and I've been going there to please her every day. If she had thought of something, she probably wouldn't have welcomed me with a smile."
"Then what should we do? Do you have any way to take her out of the mansion? Her symptoms, if you use your inner force to help her evacuate too slowly, should be able to recover more quickly. " A certain someone was very anxious and kept urging him all day long. Murong Yu had been lost in his movements and had come back at an unknown time. If he came back without any progress, it would be quite troublesome.
"She's pregnant right now, how can I persuade her to leave the family? If something were to happen, wouldn't that be clearly asking me to take the blame?" Chen Jue`er said in a bad mood. She was the one who was annoyed. Every day, she would be extremely jealous as she watched Yun Sheng carefree and carefree time.
Sir Lin put down the teacup and thought for a moment. "The day of Duke Ming's wedding is in two days. If the Duke of Qin does not return, think of a way to persuade her to enter the palace by herself. As long as she leaves the mansion, I will take care of the rest."
"What do you want to do?" Chen Jue`er asked.
You don't have to worry about that. In any case, if Yunsheng recovers her memories and recalls the part with Duke Ming, it will be beneficial to you, and then you will have a lot of chances to frame her. Unlike now, when she is in the Mansion of the Duke, she will be in great love with Murong Yu.
Chen Jue`er glared at him and said, "Don't spout sarcastic remarks. Even though I don't know what your goal is, it must not be simple. We are just cooperating; you'd better be polite!"
"Yo!" "You're angry? So what if I am impolite?" The man surnamed Lin suddenly leaned over and gently lifted Chen Jue`er's chin with an evil smile.
Chen Juehe shook his head and dodged his hand, "I know that I am just a weak woman, not as good as you guys who know martial arts, but right now, I am the only one with the ability to enter and exit the Mansion, so you guys have no other choice but to find me. If there comes a day that I lose the value of using you, then in your eyes, you are nothing at all, but as long as I have this value, please respect me a little and do what is beneficial for everyone else, and I will take my leave first!"
After Chen Jue`er finished speaking, she hurriedly left the restaurant. Although this Lin was from Spirit Eagle Palace, she could still feel that he was not just a person from the Spirit Eagle Palace.
She had gradually started to think of herself as Murong Yu's man, so she could accept being a secondary wife. After all, she was just an orphan daughter of a deceased father and mother, and her status was not as good as the Prime Minister's sole daughter, but she could not tolerate Murong Yu's heart being solely with Yun Sheng Yue. If that was the case, she would have nothing left, and there was no point in living in the Prince's Mansion anymore!
After she left, Sir Lin did not leave, but continued to drink his tea happily. After a while, another two people entered the room, one of them was Yun Chengling, the other was in his early twenties, he was not very tall, although he was young, but he had a deep expression on his face, both of them were in rich robes, but both of them were inconspicuous dark blue and dark red.
"Sir Lin is in a good mood. We've arranged to meet at such a bustling place." Yun Chengling said with a fake smile.
Young Master Lin stood up and bowed before sitting down. "Prime Minister Yun, do not worry. You can rest assured in this restaurant."
"Is the Prime Minister worried about being discovered?" "I'm just a friend in a restaurant, what's there to be afraid of?" The young man wearing dark red clothes sneered.
Yun Chengling unnaturally twitched his mouth and said, "It's always good to be cautious. We can't let go of Your Highness' grand plan."
"As long as Lord Yun is firm in his stance, there won't be a problem." The young man lightly said. Without waiting for a reply, he turned to Sir Lin and said, "Brother Lin, I will be going back in two days. How are things on your side?"
"Everything is going well. Although the progress is a little slow, it's still normal. It's just that the whereabouts of the Duke of Qin is rather strange. We haven't found him yet. Does Sir Yun have a good opinion of him?"
"I'm not sure either." Yun Chengling shook his head firmly.
The young man stared at him and said, "No matter what, the Duke of Qin is still Lord Yun's son-in-law. However, the Duke of Qin's standards are high, and he doesn't seem to hold Sir Yun in high regard. I hope he doesn't hide anything from us!"
"What are you talking about, Crown Prince? How is the relationship between the Prince and me? Everyone knows that I don't have the slightest bit of affection for you!" Yun Chengling replied without a care.
Young Master Lin laughed. "Prince Qin is actually not bad. It's a pity that few people support him and he doesn't have much foresight. It's better for the crown prince to pay more attention to Duke Ming!"
Don't underestimate the Duke of Qin. My Royal Father specifically instructed me not to bark when biting people. The Crown Prince and Duke Ming may seem powerful, but there is a gap between them.
"That might not be the case. As the saying goes, a hero will be hard to deal with, but one must be diligent in his own ways. As long as Miss Yun is around, I wonder if Sir Yun will be willing to part with her."
"That damned girl and her daughter bear a grudge against me from the past and view me as an enemy. If I can be of any use to you, then it would be her fortune!" Yun Chengling said with a straight face.
"Haha, good!" My royal father said that Lord Yun would definitely wholeheartedly help us out on account of our old friendship. The young man finally had a smile.
Sir Lin raised his glass with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Although this restaurant doesn't make much money, there are a few dishes that are not bad. You two should drink a few cups first, eat some food and then we can discuss in detail!"
"Good!" "We'll think about it further!" The three of them clinked their cups and drank the wine, wearing an expression of tacit understanding.
