At the hour of Mao the next day, a group of people and horses galloped through the mountains and forests, leaving behind a trail of horse hoof prints. Soon they stopped in front of a stone tablet with the three large characters "Nanlai Village" engraved on it.

Nanlai Village, this remote little village, is hidden in the dense forests, and is separated from Ansi State by a cliff. As long as you climb over the steep cliff, you will reach the territory of Ansi State. However, so far, no one has been able to climb over the cliff, unless it is a bird with wings.

Gu Liangcai jumped off his horse and looked at the dead silent village with a frown, feeling a little puzzled. It didn't look like anyone lived here. He winked at the group of people behind him.

"Go in and search thoroughly. Don't let anyone go."

"Yes." The person behind bowed and responded.

But the next moment, screams were heard, followed by figures falling to the ground in the snow and fainting. Those who had not yet had time to move forward stopped, not daring to move forward, and looked at Gu Liangcai.

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Liangcai cursed angrily, his eyes, which had not had any rest for several days, had bloodshot pupils.

Suddenly he thought of what the person in the letter said about not being able to get in. Damn it, how could it be possible that we couldn't get in? Is someone stopping us here? There is nothing here. He ordered the rest of the people to go around the village and enter. Unwilling to believe it, he tried to walk in.

As a result, before he could take a few steps towards the village entrance, he seemed to have hit an invisible wall and was flung away. Gu Liangcai quickly steadied his body, protected his head, somersaulted a few times, inserted his sword into the ground, knelt on the ground, and stopped.

The thin man following behind Gu Liangcai rolled his eyes and said in horror, "Boss, this is a bit strange. Could it be that? We have walked around the village and couldn't get in."

The thin man couldn't help but shudder when he thought of what had just happened. He was very sure that he was normal and not crazy. There really was an invisible wall or something in front of them, blocking them from entering the village.

When Gu Liangcai heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he held the hilt of the sword for support. He picked up a handful of snow on the ground, stood up, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it towards the village entrance again. The next moment, it turned into a pool of white snow and fell to the ground.

Could it really be a ghost?

Gu Liangcai's face was full of confusion at this time. Things were so strange that he couldn't help but think in that direction.

"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly." Gu Liangcai's face suddenly changed, he quickly jumped on the horse and said seriously.

"It's too late. You can't run now."

A cold female voice sounded in the empty snowy field, but no figure was seen.

"Who? Who is playing tricks here? Get out here!" Gu Liangcai sat on a big horse, pulling the reins, looking around, with an ugly expression on his face, and cursed angrily.

With a "bang", four figures were thrown out from nowhere and fell to the ground. Their eyes were closed, they felt pain and made slight sounds of pain, but they did not wake up. Their bodies were clean and there was no blood.

"Oh my god, aren't these the people responsible for monitoring this place? Why are they showing up like this?"

Someone saw the person being thrown out and muttered in a low voice.

"Who are you? I'm sure you're not from Nanlai Village. I have no grudge against you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Gu Liangcai put his hands in his pockets, the sinister look in his eyes flashed away, and soon returned to normal.

"Heh." Xu Yuan folded his arms and stood quietly at the entrance of the village, looking at the group of people outside. He sneered and glanced at the man sitting on the horse's head.

A few small fish are not a loss, but I didn't expect that there are still people monitoring Nanlai Village. Even after catching all the people in the village, they are still reluctant to withdraw their spies. Are they planning to turn Nanlai Village into another stronghold?

Xu Yuan would never allow such a thing to happen, as one move would affect the entire body. She did not want to experience that kind of life again, and she wanted to live a normal life when she had a new life.

Although those people's faces were disguised to look like people from the Dawei Kingdom, there were still differences at first glance.

The pupils of the people of Ansi Kingdom are grayish, and their hair is brown and slightly curly, unlike the people of Dawei Kingdom who have thick, straight, fine black hair.

Xu Yuan didn't waste any time talking to those people. He sat down cross-legged and directly started searching their memories.

Gu Liangcai didn't get a response. Just as he was about to ask again, he suddenly felt dazed and became stunned.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour... After an incense stick of time, Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, with endless hatred in his eyes and the corners of his mouth raised.

It turns out to be an old acquaintance. This is really amazing.

A white light suddenly appeared, and the figure who made a wish disappeared on the spot.

Gu Liangcai and his group, including those who were thrown out, who were still there, woke up slowly with confused eyes. They looked at the white snow, not knowing why they came here. Gu Liangcai shrank his neck, feeling a little scared for some reason. His heart urged him to mount his horse and take his people away.

A strong wind blew by, covering up the horse hoof prints on the snow, leaving no trace of anyone having been here.

.....

"Ah!"

In the ancient and magnificent palace of Ansi Kingdom, separated by a mountain, a graceful figure was lying on a couch with a small green snake wrapped around her arm. She twisted her body and muttered something. Then her nose felt itchy, and the small snake, which was still twisting its body, suddenly curled up.

"Princess, be careful not to catch a cold." The old woman serving beside her brought a blanket with a nervous look on her face and said with concern. When she saw the insect curled up nearby, she shuddered and looked away.

This little snake is pretty, but it is very poisonous.

"Nothing. I'm afraid someone is thinking about me." A soft voice sounded. Dona put the little snake in her hand aside, sat up from the couch, gathered the cloak on her body, and stood by the window.

It's still too cold here, and she really doesn't like it here at all.

Nanny Wu felt very upset when she saw the princess's personality change drastically after her trip to the Kingdom of Dawei. The innocent and naive girl before was gone. The girl before would walk around those insect poisons, not like the girl now who couldn't let go of them.

"Report, Princess, His Majesty wants to see you."

Just at this moment, someone came to report from outside the palace.

Dona stretched out her hand towards the table, her lips moved a few times, and the little snake curled up beside her, sticking out its tongue, climbed up along the slender hand. Dona smiled, gathered her sleeves, turned around and walked out.
