When Xiao Cui heard Ouyang Yunyao's cry, she quickly retracted her hand in fear. With a frown on her face, she looked at Ouyang Yunyao and stammered, "Princess, this... this..."

Ouyang Yunyao was using a flashlight to shine on these large jars and carefully observing them. She found that there were many small holes on the lids of these jars, as if to allow something inside to ventilate.

She was startled. Could there be some poisonous creatures in there? She didn't dare to open these jars rashly. If these jars contained poisonous insects carefully raised by the people in Xiaoyao Palace, then once they were opened, the consequences might be disastrous.

When she heard Xiao Cui's question, she raised her eyes, raised her eyebrows, pointed at the jar and threatened her: "You don't even know what's in it, and you dare to open it. What if it's a poisonous insect that attacks you and flies towards you?" Ouyang Yunyao was right.

"Ah... poisonous insect." Xiao Cui was frightened when she heard the word poisonous insect and patted her chest with her hand.

"Princess, are there really poisonous insects in this jar?" Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

Ouyang Yunyao looked at the rows of boxes filled with jars in front of her, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "The jars must not contain anything good."

She continued, "Look, there are many small holes on the lid of this jar. They are probably for letting something inside breathe."

Xiao Cui, Xia Fei and Xia Yan came forward and carefully examined the jars. As expected, there were many small holes on the lids of the jars.

"Princess, it's true." Xia Fei said in surprise.

"Well, you guys better close these boxes." Ouyang Yunyao frowned and instructed them.

"Yes, Princess." The three of them acted quickly and closed the boxes of jars one by one.

"Princess, everything is covered. We don't need to cover these boxes containing gold, right?" Xiao Cui asked.

"That's not necessary. This gold should be used as a tribute to our Western Chu State. I'll keep it for now." Ouyang Yunyao said with a smile. As she spoke, she waved her hand. The four boxes of gold disappeared from their sight in an instant and were sent into space by her.

The maids were no longer surprised by Ouyang Yunyao's actions. In their eyes, it was normal for the princess to put the boxes into the space with a wave of her hand.

Such a large plane, and even so many soldiers, could be instantly stored in the space by the princess with just a wave of her hand.

At this time, Xia Fei asked: "Princess, should these boxes be placed here?"

Ouyang Yunyao pondered for a moment and said, "Put these boxes here for now. Let me think about it. Let's go check out other places first."

"Yes, Princess." The three responded in unison.

They came out of the room and continued walking along the secret passage.

As Ouyang Yunyao walked, she was thinking about what to do with the boxes. These boxes cannot be left here! What if there is something bad inside? It will hurt people.

She thought about it and decided to put these things into the space first. She patted her head and said to herself with a smile: Forget about this, go back and interrogate those people carefully, then you will know what is inside.

But she was also worried that putting these boxes directly into the space might cause some unpredictable problems.

So, she suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution: first build a closed room in the space and temporarily store the boxes in it, which would ensure safety and facilitate subsequent processing.

She quickly used her consciousness to communicate with Gigi in the space, and told Gigi to build a closed room as soon as possible.

"Gigi, build me a closed room immediately."

"Yes, Major, just half an hour." Gigi's voice sounded in her mind.

Ouyang Yunyao knew that building such a room was a piece of cake for Jiji. It only took him 25 minutes to complete the task.

……

The night was dark.

Only sporadic candles were flickering on the dock of Zhenyangcheng, and the river was flowing quietly in the darkness, as if even time had stopped.

Chu Chenjing led a team of Jingyong Army soldiers and hid on the official road leading to the dock. There were no houses here, and there were some farmlands around. Most importantly, there were large tracts of woods here, which was a good place for an ambush.

Chu Chenjing, Song Zixu, Han Fengli and Chu Feng stood on a lush tree, looking down from above, with sharp eyes, closely watching the movements on the distant avenue.

His secret guard just reported that a group of people in front were rushing towards this side and were not far away.

At this time, there was silence all around and time was passing by every second.

Suddenly, the sound of wheels in the distance broke the quiet night.

Chu Chenjing looked at a group of people in the distance at night, his eyes fixed, and whispered to the people around him: "Here they come."

Then he said to Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, notify them to prepare for battle."

"Yes," Chu Feng responded, and with a flash of his body, he flew away from the tree like an arrow.

The group of figures was getting closer and closer, and Chu Chenjing could clearly see that the person riding on the horse in front of the group was Pei Wenyuan, whom they were looking for, and he was followed by several people who were protecting him.

Behind him was a large group of people escorting several carriages full of goods. Pei Wenyuan's horse was almost reaching the tree where Chu Chenjing and the others were hiding.

At this time, one of his guards said, "Second Master, this road will take you to the dock. Our ship is already waiting at the dock."

Pei Wenyuan looked around vigilantly, then said in a cold voice: "Okay, let the people behind catch up quickly." The subordinate responded, turned his horse's head and went back to pass the order.

Chu Chenjing looked down at the carriages below. There were six of them in total. He couldn't help wondering: What goods were they escorting? Was it iron ore mined in the mountains, or weapons forged? But why were there only a few carriages? Was it a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? But that didn't make sense. There were four or five hundred people escorting a few carriages. It seemed that the goods were more important.

When the convoy and its troops were halfway past Chu Chenjing, he gave an order and the Jingyong Army that was ambushing on all sides rushed out like tigers and surrounded Pei Wenyuan's troops in an instant.

Pei Wenyuan was shocked when he saw this. Who were these people? He then held up his sword and shouted loudly, "Who are you?"

Chu Chenjing and Song Zixu flew up with swords in hand and rushed towards Pei Wenyuan.

In an instant, Song Zixu and Pei Wenyuan started fighting, swords flashed, and the two men fought back and forth, making it difficult to tell who was better.

Song Zixu sneered, "I didn't expect Pei Wenyuan to be really you? You've been hiding it well enough these past few years."

When Pei Wenyuan saw Song Zixu, a murderous look flashed across his face and he sneered: "Hehe, it turns out you are my good senior brother." The two fought for several rounds in a short while, and their swords were sharp and murderous.
