"You little rascal!" Wei Liu had not dared to target the magistrate of a county before. He was not as bold as Bai Jing.

"Here, take it!" Bai Jingzhi threw a small iron box to Wei Liu, "Inside is the Hunhun Pills that my mother prepared. They will dissolve in water as soon as they are added to food. Once you succeed, it will be like entering an empty space."

Wei Liu didn't believe it at first, but thinking of the strange things Wei Hongmian had prepared before, he carefully kept them away.

"By the way, let my dad go too! One more person means more strength."

"What's the use of him? It's better for Zhou Wen to go!" Wei Liu's attitude towards Bai Zhao has become much better recently, but the disapproval in his bones still lingers.

In his eyes, Bai Zhao's image as a weak scholar was no longer acceptable.

Bai Zhao is different now than he was more than ten years ago. His shoulders have become much broader. If he doesn't dress like a scholar, others will think he is a warrior.

"Sixth Grandpa, my dad must go!" Bai Jingzhi suddenly had an idea, "He is lucky, he is still my dad."

To Wei Liu, Bai Jingzhi is the chosen one.

Since she had said so much, Wei Liu had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

"Okay! I'll send someone to protect his safety then."

In the afternoon, they stopped to rest and did not move forward.

"Hey, Captain Wei, has something happened?" Chang Bo approached Wei Li, staring in the direction of Bai Jingzhi and his companions' carriage.

Wei Li had been taking Wei Duan and Wei Yao with him these past few days. The two kids were running like crazy in the mountains. Even he couldn't handle it.

He also had no time to show his courtesy to Wei Hongmian, and was devoted to taking care of his younger brother and sister left behind by his parents.

"Isn't it normal for Wei Liuchao to go there? My aunt is the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, so it's only natural for them to show some respect to the side branches."

Wei Li took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Wei Duan, "Take your sister to play over there, and don't eat too much."

"I got it, Brother Wei." Wei Duan took the purse, his eyes lit up, and he ran away with his sister, skipping and jumping.

Everyone in the Wei family likes sweets, and so do his younger brothers and sisters.

Since their parents were no longer around, Wei Duan and Wei Yao went from being panicked at first to feeling at ease now, all thanks to the Bai family.

"These two kids seem to be getting familiar with you. Have you told them that you are their brother?"

After these two days of interaction, Changbo has grown very fond of the brother and sister. These two children are well-mannered and know when to act.

"How is that possible!" Wei Li denied, "My identity is not clear yet. Let's wait until the prince leaves before bringing it up, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Changbo stared at the backs of the brother and sister in a daze, then turned to look at Wei Li's face with a curious expression.

"If our Nalan family had the courage of the Wei family back then, wouldn't we be hiding like rats crossing the street like we are now? We don't even dare to use our real names!"

Changbo murmured softly, with sadness in his eyes.

The two children ran to the carriage, and Wei Li retracted his gaze, "Changbo, what else did you say?"

"It's okay." Chang Bo quickly controlled his expression and nodded towards Wei Liu. "From what I've observed, they don't have much food left."

"Are you serious?" Wei Li was a little anxious. "Brother Changbo, is the prince going to take action? Will you help me or him?"

"Is there any need to ask? Of course I'm helping you, otherwise why would I be with you! The prince is ambitious but incompetent, it's time to teach him a lesson."

Changbo glanced at Jiang Lan inadvertently and found him whispering with his trusted attendant.

"They may take action tonight. I saw the servant next to him circling around the Bai family's grain cart for a long time. He must have discovered it."

Changbo is very observant, otherwise he would not have been able to stay with Jiang Zhu for so many years.

Wei Li believed his words without a doubt and was a little anxious. "Brother Changbo, can those people listen to you? Before I found the prince, I could still give them some orders. After I found the prince, they didn't take my words seriously at all."

When they separated in Lianzhou City, those people followed Jiang Lan without hesitation.

If they really had bad intentions, the Bai family would not be able to resist them.

Wei Li's expression was unpredictable, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

"Most of those people are from the prince's side. The young master didn't send anyone. If they really fight, your aunt won't stand a chance of winning, and the four of us will be useless."

Changbo made a rough estimate of the fighting power of both sides and determined the gap between them.

The Bai family has many young and strong men, but unfortunately they have not received rigorous training and are no match for the ten people on Jiang Lan's side.

"Wei Liuchao is coming this way!" Changbo had been paying attention to his movements. He looked over here as soon as he got out of the carriage.

Wei Duan and Wei Yao also jumped and ran to the old lady of the Bai family. There was no other movement from Bai Jingzhi's family.

"Your cousin and the girl you like are here too. How about going over to take a look?"

Changbo observed carefully and found that they were heading towards Jiang Lan.

"What? The girl I like? Don't say anything nonsense and ruin her reputation." Wei Li's ears turned red and he quickly denied it.

Changbo laughed and teased, "Why do you keep looking at other people if you don't like them? Why do you keep going to other people when you have free time?"

"Let's go over and take a look!" Wei Li couldn't argue with her, so he just strode towards that direction.

Changbo followed immediately.

"let's talk?"

The two of them walked over and just heard Wei Liu's voice.

Jiang Lan was not cooperative. "There is nothing to discuss. Give us the indenture, or we will fight."

There were about ten people guarding him, and their eyes were sharp, as if they wanted to kill him.

"Since you didn't take action at the beginning, you won't take action easily."

Wei Liu didn't care and said calmly: "There's no need to scare us. At worst, we'll be dead or alive. The reputation of your son, the Prince of Yan, being captured and enslaved will spread throughout the Dazhuang Dynasty."

Jiang Lan's face turned red and white, "Kill me if you can!"

"It is better to live a miserable life than to die. How can the prince not even understand this? If a person is gone, everything will be gone, including his reputation."

Wei Liu's expression remained unchanged and his voice remained indifferent.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Jiang Lan finally softened his tone. If they were alone, they might not be able to go back. Their identities could not stand up to scrutiny, and they did not have a pass.

He still doesn't understand why the Bai family was so well prepared and had no problems passing through the checkpoints.

Jiang Lan bowed his head when he should, weighed the pros and cons, and had an idea in his mind: he would settle the accounts after leaving Jucheng.

Wei Liuquan pretended not to notice Jiang Lan's little thoughts. He did not beat around the bush and directly explained the situation.

"You mean you have no food, and we have to help you rob food? This deal is really suitable! A dozen servants came for nothing, and we have to rob food to feed you?"

Jiang Lan snorted coldly, looking somewhat displeased.
