The ancestor is here, she is here with space

In the bandits' lair, Wang Mazi's eyes flashed with cunning and viciousness.

"Third boss, we have to plan carefully this time. I heard that the general's mansion is not easy to deal with." A bandit whispered, his eyes flashing with greed and cruelty.

Wang Mazi raised a sinister smile, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out its message: "Humph, we have so many heroes, are we afraid of them? This time, we must not only deal with the people in the general's mansion, but also make sure that damn old woman is dead without a burial place!"

Wang Mazi felt filled with humiliation and anger when he recalled the time he was exiled to the camp.

"But the first and second in command haven't come back yet. Should we wait for them to come back?

, and then take action?" Another bandit said with some concern.

Wang Mazi glared at him, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "What are you waiting for? Can't we take action when they are not here? When did you become so cowardly? I will lead the team personally for this operation, and you just follow me."

The bandits looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, but they finally nodded.

-------------------------------------

Because of the half-day delay yesterday, the exile team had to speed up its pace today under the urging of the officials.

But even though they hurried as fast as they could, they still couldn't reach their destination.

The night was as dark as ink and slowly fell. Everyone in the team had a look of fatigue and anxiety on their faces.

Are we going to repeat the same mistake again tonight and sleep outdoors again?

The people in the team began to worry. They were already frightened by the wolf pack yesterday, and if they encountered wild beasts again tonight, they might really die.

Just as everyone was panicking, the official's voice of urging sounded again: "It's only another seven or eight miles to the post station. If you don't want to be with wild beasts in the wild, cheer up and speed up!"

These words were like a shot in the arm, instantly boosting the morale of the team.

The seven or eight miles seemed out of reach for them who were so exhausted.

However, they also understand that only by continuing to move forward can they escape the dangers of the wild and save their lives.

Just as everyone was gathering up their courage and preparing to face the last difficult stretch of the journey, there was a sudden commotion in front of the team.

"Stop! Stop now!" A horse-riding officer came galloping over with an anxious look on his face.

The leading officer frowned and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"

The officer panted and said, "There is a landslide ahead... There is a landslide ahead. The road is blocked. I'm afraid we can't pass through."

There was a sudden uproar in the team. Landslide?

Doesn't that mean they won't be able to reach the post station tonight and will have to sleep outdoors again?

In the darkness of the night, the moon that had just climbed above the treetops looked so pale, as if it had also lost its color due to this sudden change.

At this moment, panic spread rapidly in the team like wildfire. People were talking about it and were at a loss.

Lin Congyun, who was sitting in the carriage, also learned the news and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the exiles outside who were all terrified. They had only been exiled for two or three days, so why were there so many problems along the way?

"Rest where you are." The officer gave an order and the team stopped. Although everyone was terrified, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of being able to take a temporary break.

Lin Congyun got off the carriage and saw that some of the exiles were sitting together and talking in low voices, while others were looking around in panic.

Wu Jinjie also came over at this time and said that the officials had sent people to check. It was very likely that the heavy rain yesterday had washed away the road ahead, so they were unable to move forward.

Lin Congyun nodded. She could understand this situation. Yesterday's rain was indeed incredibly heavy, and natural disasters such as mountain torrents and mudslides were also common along the way.

It looks like we'll have to sleep outdoors again tonight.

Lin Congyun stood beside the carriage, looking into the distance.

Recalling how she sneaked into the palace last night and stole the dragon throne, the symbol of imperial power, she couldn't help but smile.

Tonight, the palace must be heavily guarded, so she decided not to take the risk of sneaking into the palace.

"Grandma, it's late at night. Let's go back to the car and rest." Nanny Bai's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Lin Congyun collected his thoughts and remembered that Luzhu and the others were waiting for them in the town ahead, so he asked, "Where are Luzhu and the others waiting for us?"

"To answer the old ancestor, Luzhu and the others are waiting in Baiyun Town." Nanny Bai answered respectfully, with a trace of worry in her eyes. "According to the original plan, we should arrive at Baiyun Town tomorrow. But last night's operation was delayed for half a day, and we are stuck here tonight. I don't know when we can arrive.

Lin Congyun frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "When the time comes, let them buy another carriage in town. I see that Xiaoyu and the eldest brother's wife's shoes are all worn out."

"Okay, old man." Nanny Bai replied, "It's already dark, you should go back to the carriage and rest. Dinner will be ready and served to you later."

"Okay." Lin Congyun nodded. "Madame Bai, you've worked hard these past few days. When you meet up with Luzhu and the others, you won't have to work so hard anymore."

"Thank you, ancestor." Aunt Bai bowed.

As night fell, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

However, Lin Congyun tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Her left eye kept twitching, as if foreshadowing that something bad was about to happen.

"What's going on?" She said to herself, trying to calm her anxiety and comfort herself, "Maybe it's because I've been too tired these days, so I'm just thinking too much."

However, that inexplicable premonition became stronger and stronger.

Just then, a rustling sound broke the silence of the night.

Lin Congyun immediately lifted the curtain and took a look vigilantly.

I saw Aunt Bai kneeling on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, her body trembling slightly, her face as pale as paper.

"Madame Bai!" Lin Congyun exclaimed, and hurried to Madame Bai's side, helping her up. "Madame Bai, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Nanny Bai smiled weakly, trying to hide her discomfort, "It's okay, old ancestor. I accidentally fell down because my legs went numb. It's okay, I'll be fine after a rest."

Lin Congyun carefully examined Nanny Bai's body in the faint moonlight and found that her knees were red and swollen.

He immediately took out the ointment from the Imperial Hospital and carefully applied it on Nanny Bai's knees.

Aunt Bai gasped in pain, but when she saw Lin Congyun's worried look, she endured the pain and said through gritted teeth, "Grandfather, don't worry, I'm really fine. You should go back to the car and rest."

However, Lin Congyun keenly sensed that something was wrong.
