"Those inside, come out. As long as you leave the silver behind, you can leave. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." Chaotic footsteps came from outside, followed by a sentence.
"What's going on?" Meng Fanxuan frowned as he asked.
"Oh no, there's a group of bandits outside." The voice of a coachman came from outside.
"What?" "Bandits?" Song Xiangsi frowned as she tried to pull open the curtain to see what was going on outside.
"Wait, don't act blindly without thinking." Meng stopped Song's hand from opening the curtain.
"What's wrong? "Why not?" Song Xiangsi retracted his hand and asked.
"Let's listen to what's happening outside and see what they're up to. "He even dared to stop me." Meng Ling Xuan looked outside coldly, but the curtain blocked his line of sight.
"Alright, then let's see what they are up to first. Don't wake up the two little guys." Song Xiangsi looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly.
The bandit's voice came from outside.
"Those inside, listen up. Yours Truly is in a good mood and does not want to kill. As long as you obediently hand over the money, I can consider letting you go." The arrogant voice of a bandit came from the outside.
Meng Fanxuan laughed coldly and said, "You even dare to block me. I think you're really courting death."
The bandits outside definitely didn't know that the person inside was Meng Ling Xuan. If they did, they would have run away immediately. That was why they didn't know, which was why they had the courage to stop them.
"We can't come out. If we don't, we'll drag you out."
"What should we do?" The coachman's voice hid a hint of fear. After all, he was just a coachman, and couldn't defeat these bandits.
"Don't be afraid." Meng Ling Xuan had only told the coachman not to worry.
"What should we do? Are we going down? " Song Xiangsi asked.
"Right, you don't have to be afraid. Don't worry about giving it to me. I'll settle it immediately. Can you wait for me in the car?" Meng Fangxuan was afraid that Song Xiangsi would try to comfort him.
Song Xiangsi only shook her head before replying, "It's fine. I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about you."
Meng Fangxuan laughed before teasing Song Xiangsi. He leaned close to Song Xiangsi's ear, blew on it and said softly, "What's wrong?" "Are you so worried about me?"
Song Xiangsi was so embarrassed by Meng Ling Xuan's actions that her face turned red. She said embarrassedly, "If you keep doing this, I'll ignore you. There are people blocking us outside. You don't want to think of a way to deal with them."
Meng Fangxuan laughed. His mood improved as he looked at Song Xiangsi and said, "It's just a bunch of trash. As many as there are. I want them to crawl back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled open the curtain and was about to get off the carriage, when suddenly, Song Xiangsi called out to him.
"Wait." Song Xiangsi pulled at Meng Ling Xuan, worry written all over her face.
"Can you do it alone? I'm a little scared. " Song Xiangsi's tone was filled with worry.
"It's fine. Don't you believe me?" Meng Fanxuan asked.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid that you'll get hurt." Song Xiangsi shook her head.
Seeing Song Xiangsi's expression, Meng Lianxuan's entire body opened up. Just as he was about to hug Song Xiangsi, the bandits outside started to ruin the scenery again.
"How dare you ignore us, brothers, attack!"
The group of bandits charged towards the carriage. Meng Liangxuan let go of Song Xiangsi and said in a low voice, "Protect yourself. Don't get off the carriage." Then he got off the carriage.
Song Xiangsi still felt uneasy after seeing Meng Ling Xuanxuan get off the carriage. She then pulled open the curtain and prepared to get off as well.
When the coachman saw that Song Xiangsi was about to get off the carriage, he hurriedly stopped her, "Miss, the crown prince said that he could not let you follow him."
Song Xiangsi did not care about the coachman. He insisted on getting out of the car. The coachman also wanted to follow to protect Song Xiangsi. Song Xiangsi stopped him.
"No, don't come down. Stay here and protect them." Saying so, Song Xiangsi looked at the two children who were still sleeping soundly in the carriage.
The coachman had no choice but to stop. Song Xiangsi got off the carriage and ran to the front.
Meng Liangxuan saw Song Xiangsi getting off the carriage and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to get off the carriage? "Why did you still come down!"
Song Xiangsi did not care whether or not Meng Ling Xuan was very angry. She only said, "No, I can't see you here by yourself. I have to stay with you."
Meng Ling Xuan's heart immediately softened. But the bandits didn't care about them.
"Oh? The two of you have a very good relationship with each other. You actually don't want to split up? Then I'll send the two of you on your way." The bandit leader stepped forward and chopped at Meng and Song Xiangsi.
Meng Ling Xuan's sharp eyes grabbed Song Xiangsi and pulled her away before saying, "Get away from them. I'll get rid of them immediately."
Song Xiangsi nodded and stood not far away as she looked worriedly at Meng Ling Xuan.
When the bandit leader saw that Meng Ling Xuan had dodged his blade, he felt a bit embarrassed, but he still fiercely hacked towards Meng Ling Xuan.
A fierce look flashed in Meng Fangxuan's eyes as he whispered, "You're courting death, so I won't stop you."
Before long, the wounds of those bandits could be seen, as they ran and ran. Meng Ling Xuan's clothes were just a bit tattered.
Song Xiangsi ran over and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Meng Ling Xuan shook his head and said, "It's fine. Ignore them. Let's continue on our way." With that, he pulled Song Xiangsi onto the carriage without even looking at the bandits who were lying on the ground.
This road continued all the way to Qing He County. They did not run into any more trouble.
"We've arrived at Qing He County." The coachman stopped the carriage and spoke to Meng Ling Xuan and Song Xiangsi who were in the carriage.
Song Xiangsi and Meng Ling Xuan got off the carriage, while the carriage driver led the children to find a place to stay.
"What's going on?" Song Xiangsi walked out of the garage and looked at the scene before her with disbelief.
"Tsk, what's going on here?" Meng Ling Xuan stared unhappily at the scenery before him.
Qing He County was clearly a bustling county city, but at this moment, it was not the same as the one in front of them.
The scenery in front of him was extremely creepy. He could not see many people nor did he see any plants. The ground was completely bare.
"Let's go inside." Song Xiangsi said.
Meng nodded and pulled Song Xiangsi deeper into Qing He County.
When they arrived inside, the scene changed again. The originally desolate scene became better and better as they went further in.
There was a sea of people inside the county city, as well as street vendors. The atmosphere was especially lively.
Meng Fanxuan didn't say a word as he pulled Song Xiangsi into a small house.
"This place is?" Song Xiangsi asked.
"We'll stay here for the next few days. You can rest here and wait for me. I'll go out and find out what's going on." Meng Ling Xuan told Song Xiangsi.
Song Xiangsi nodded and asked, "Didn't you tell the county magistrate of Qing He County about your visit here?"
Meng Ling Xuan shook his head to show that he didn't say anything.
