Lingshui is Guaerjia’s natal home. She has only been back once or twice over the years. Fortunately, this time, Deyin was with her so she didn’t feel so lonely on the road.

As they hurried on their way and the carriage jolted, Deyin saw Yinzhen's face repeatedly in her dreams, but it was getting farther and farther away from him and he could not touch it.

"Miss, are you okay?" Lu Wu shook De Yin. She had just heard her calling someone's name, but she didn't hear it clearly.

"You were shouting in your dream just now. Was it a nightmare?"

Deyin shook his head: "It's okay, just a little tired." In the past few days, he kept dreaming about their patrols, as if he was there in person.

Since Yinzhen was ordered to investigate the rebellion, many officials also confessed their crimes as soon as the local governor was searched. After this, Kangxi immediately ordered to block the news and not let other local officials know about it. He wanted to see how many people were promoted and given titles under the banner of arresting the rebellion.

Lingshui is the only way to Shanxi. Lingshui is a prosperous place. With more merchants and travelers coming and going, the number of bandits also increased. It was almost impossible to escape them when traveling at night.

In order to reach Shanxi early the next morning, Kangxi ordered the troops to travel overnight.

"Hand over the valuables if you know what's good for you." Deyin's carriage was lost at the fork in the woods. There were only three people including the driver. There were at least five or six robbers in this group, all of them strong. There was no hope of running away now, so he had to think about how to save his life first.

"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive, I'll find it for you right away." As long as you save your life first, everything else will be easy. Deyin took off all the valuable jewelry on her body. Fortunately, she brought a lot of jewelry when she went out. Unexpectedly, her little habit of loving beauty saved her life at the critical moment. While taking off her own jewelry, she did not forget to take off the silver bracelet on Luwu's hand and handed it to the leader.

Deyin observed the expressions of those people, and when they relaxed, he winked at the driver. The driver was also smart and took advantage of the gap to drive the carriage forward quickly. By the time those people reacted, the carriage had already pulled away for a long distance.

"Hurry, faster, they are catching up." Lu Wu shouted to the driver while looking back at the robbers.

Because it was night time, Yinzhen was very careful about his surroundings, and the sound of a carriage coming from behind made him alert.

Fourteen took people to check. When the coachman saw someone in front, he slowed down. The guard forced the carriage to stop and asked, "Who is it?"

When Lu Wu heard someone stopping the carriage, she shouted outside: "Who are you? How dare you stop the carriage of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"

When Fourteen heard the familiar female voice, he tentatively called out Deyin's name. Unexpectedly, when the curtain was lifted, Deyin stuck her head out. Yinzhen didn't expect to meet her here again. When he learned that she had lost her family, he had to keep her with him temporarily.

Yinzhen also rushed over at this time. Deyin couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the face she hadn't seen for a long time. Fourteenth brother quickly introduced himself to his fourth brother. Deyin looked at Yinzhen's calm expression and then she remembered that this was not the world that belonged to them. This sudden sense of alienation made her a little overwhelmed.

"Deyin, what's wrong?" Seeing her eyes blank for a while, Yinzhen waved his hand in front of her.

Deyin's eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Yinzhen. She had an indescribable feeling, as if he was right in front of her, but the distance between them seemed like a chasm that could not be crossed.

Yinzhen sent Deyin to the post station in the capital, and it happened that Guaerjia was also there. Yinzhen handed her over to the wife of the Grand Tutor before leaving with peace of mind.
