The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!

In the carriage, Tang Xiluo came over curiously and asked, "What did Nineteen whisper to you?" It shouldn't be about gold, right? How could he be so calm?

Zhan Jingchen raised the corners of his lips: "Are you that curious? It's not impossible for you to want to know."

Tang Xiluo twitched his lips and said with a fake smile: "Haha, actually I don't really want to know."

Judging from his expression, it's definitely not good, he must have other requests.

The man laughed and continued reading the military book.

Tang Xiluo took a look and found that he was reading military books every day. How many military books did he have to read?

She just laid down on the table and prepared to go to sleep.

Then, a man's voice came to my ears.

"Lolo, how about I teach you how to read?"

The girl frowned and said, "It's not a big deal. I think being illiterate is also good."

Zhan Jingchen: "... every servant in our mansion can read, and the guards can read too."

Tang Xiluo didn't raise his head, feeling a little angry. Was he implying something about himself? Was he saying that he couldn't even compare to the servants? "

So he retorted angrily: "Who said that? Xiaomei definitely can't read."

The man's cold voice sounded immediately: "Go back and have someone teach her."

Tang Xiluo: “…” This bastard, is it not allowed for an illiterate person to appear in the mansion?

Then, Zhan Jingchen took out a book and placed it in front of the little girl: "Start with the basics."

The girl sighed helplessly. In her heart, she actually wanted to learn characters because they would surely be useful in the future and she wouldn't have to trouble others to read them for her.

What if it's a secret? Wouldn't it be exposed if I let others read it? So I had to learn it myself.

"alright."

After a while, the sound of reading words was heard from inside the carriage.

The further we go, the more desolate the area becomes.

Lei Er stopped the carriage and reported: "Master, it is getting dark, should we stop?"

Zhan Jingchen lifted the car window curtain and took a look at the sky outside.

Shen Jingbei complained: "We have been walking for a whole day, and there is not even an inn."

Baili Yu was also curious: "Are we taking the road through the wild mountains and wilderness?" It seemed that they were not taking the main road.

Zhan Jingchen ordered: "Set up tents here and rest."

Tang Xiluo frowned and said, "I think something is wrong here."

The man nodded: "I know."

Shen Jingbei said: "We are already near Chi County."

Baili Yu was surprised: "Are they already nearby? I heard there are a lot of bandits here, and they are particularly rampant."

Tang Xiluo said with some concern: "Let's go find another place to rest."

Zhan Jingchen shook his head: "Don't worry, according to the map, this place belongs to the back mountain of Chi County. It's desolate and uninhabited, and bandits rarely come here."

Bandits only go to densely populated and wealthy places to rob and commit crimes. They won't come to such a desolate place. Even if they come, there's nothing they can take or rob.

Tang Xiluo looked outside and suddenly found that more than half of the guards following them were gone.

She turned to look at Zhan Jingchen.

The man smiled and did not hide anything from her: "Let them observe the terrain first."

-

In the county government.

"Master, I heard someone is coming from the capital."

The county magistrate's face froze for a moment, then he quickly recovered: "Is the news reliable?"

The butler shook his head: "It's just some hearsay, but our people in the capital haven't found any evidence."

The county magistrate pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it is true or false, the silver and gold must be hidden well. They should not be found by them. They must be hidden well for me!"

The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, Master, don't worry, we will definitely not be discovered. However, if the capital sends someone to deliver disaster relief silver again..."

The county magistrate sneered: "That was all done by the bandits. What does it have to do with me?"

The housekeeper understood immediately, so he bowed and said: "I will write a letter to remind them." Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must remain vigilant for the next two days.

On the distant branches, a dark shadow came and left silently.

-

Zhan Jingchen's face darkened: "Someone in the capital leaked our information."

Tang Xiluo shrugged: "Although we left through the back door, we didn't hide it on purpose. If anyone wants to know, they can find out by checking."

Zhan Jingchen laughed: "This is exactly what I want to see."

After dealing with things here, I can go back and deal with the person who leaked the news with ill intentions.

Baili Yu frowned: "But in this way, won't they hide even deeper?"

Shen Jingbei laughed: "Don't worry, everything is under control."

Zhan Jingchen curled his lips and said, "Tomorrow we should take the main road and enter the county along the right path." Give the bandits a chance.

The next morning.

There were more than a dozen rough men lying in ambush on both sides of the road.

"Boss, do you think the imperial court is stupid? We are robbed every time, yet they keep sending us money."

The leading man smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing for us? The boss is worried about the poor people in the county who don't have much property."

"Stop talking! Someone's coming."

I saw a carriage in front and many carriages following it.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Boss, it seems like they are not here for disaster relief, but to do business."

The leading man slapped the younger brother beside him and said, "Are you stupid? You've been robbed twice, and you still come to deliver relief money openly? You must be disguised!"

"That's right. I guess they definitely don't dare to send relief money openly. Besides, what kind of business is there in Chi County, a place as poor as a ding-dong? Most businessmen would not choose such a poor and remote place to do business."

"So they must be the relief money sent by the Royal Team."

"Hahaha! They are such cowards. Do we have a chance to dominate the world in the future?" The imperial court is just like this. They are actually afraid of these bandits.

"Shut up! Don't expose yourself, idiot."

The reason why they were so rampant was simply because the mountain roads were rugged and dangerous, and the corrupt county magistrate was in cahoots with them, so the court did not catch them all in one fell swoop.

The border has been stable in recent years, the regent and the general have returned to the capital, the troops and materials that can be mobilized have increased greatly, and the number of people available to the emperor has also increased significantly.

If the imperial court really intends to take real action against them, they will have no way to retreat.

That's why the boss has been plundering money on a large scale recently. He is probably thinking of taking his brothers to exchange for land. The imperial court will take action in such places sooner or later.

"Do it!"

The leading man shouted loudly, and the people in ambush rushed out with weapons in hand.

"Robbery! Don't move."

Tang Xiluo sat in the carriage and fell into deep thought. Were the bandits in ancient times so stupid? It seemed not that simple.

Zhan Jingchen patted her hands: "Don't come out."

Then he walked out by himself.

The leading bandit shouted: "Who are you?!"

Shen Jingbei looked panicked: "We are just a small trader, we don't have much money."
