At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Fubao finally couldn't hold it anymore. Sweat broke out on his forehead and he looked around for any familiar faces around him.

The sharp object pressed against Fubao's arm, causing her hair to stand on end. "Are you really a Taoist priest? You look like a charlatan who is swindling people for money."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I don't understand the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, I don't believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics, and I only know a little about medicine. But the princess believes in me, what can you do?" After saying that, a low laugh came out of his throat.

He said this because the people around him were far away, and only Fubao could hear it clearly. Fubao's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe that this person just admitted it.

Then he shouted, "Swindler! Let me go! I don't know how many lives you have killed. You should go to jail now."

Instead, the man became more and more happy: "I know you are an extraordinary person. You put out the fire in Yuzhou and emptied the warehouse in Yuezhou overnight. Everything proves that you are not an ordinary person. Let me taste what your blood tastes like." He couldn't contain his excitement. His greedy eyes swept over Fubao's body, as if he wanted to skin her alive and eat her whole body.

Fubao struggled with all his might, and seeing that the thing was about to pierce his blood vessels, he immediately released Xiao Hei from the space in a panic.

"Ouch——"

In full view of everyone, a wolf with a gray body, a strong body and fierce eyes appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone was so shocked that they lost their voices. After a while, someone burst into screams: "Ah! There's a wolf! There's a wolf!"

To be honest, wolves were not scary in the eyes of so many people, but this one appeared out of nowhere without any support, which made their hair stand on end. For a moment, no one dared to move forward.

The old Taoist priest was slapped by Xiao Hei's claws and rolled to the side, his body covered with dust. Xiao Hei even sat on the whisk directly under his buttocks.

The old Taoist priest was almost frightened to death, but he was afraid that he would be eaten by the wolf, so he stood up and slowly backed away.

Fu Bao took out a dagger from the space, cut the rope, and looked at everyone coldly: "This is a crooked way, and it's too much to bully people."

Among the crowd, the brave one kept staring at Fu Bao and asked, "What is this? Is it a magic trick?"

No one answered, because the next moment the adult male wolf rushed towards them with a roar, causing the crowd to flee in all directions.

Fubao hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to find a way out. After all, they were in someone else's territory. Even if Xiao Hei was charging in front, by the time they came to their senses, he and Xiao Hei would still not be able to escape.

Looking at the side door at the back, Fubao rushed in with Xiaohei without hesitation. In the silent corridor, footsteps hurriedly stepped on the wooden planks. The guards behind reacted and hurried over to catch the man.

Fubao was not familiar with the roads here. He turned left and right, not knowing where he was. It was quiet and deserted, and it didn't even look like a place where anyone lived.

The pursuers behind them soon arrived, with clear footsteps following closely behind.

Suddenly a hand stretched out from the room next door. Fubao was startled and was about to shout when someone covered his mouth with his hand.

She was still frightened and struggled to her feet. The man immediately said, "Yishu! Don't make a sound. It's me."

Fu Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and kept this posture, not daring to move, for fear of making any sound. The pursuers outside soon reached the door.

Fubao held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Highness, did you see any suspicious people coming?"

Chen Xi said impatiently: "No! Don't bother me."

The person outside was obviously a little hesitant: "I clearly saw her coming this way. His Highness is a dangerous person. If you see her, you must call us. It would be bad if His Highness is hurt."

Chen Xi pushed Fubao behind the pillar and angrily opened the door: "I told you, if you can't find anyone, come and teach me a lesson! Do you still want to search my bedroom?"

Seeing Chen Xi angry, the man immediately did not dare to act rashly, and knelt on the ground with his men behind him: "I dare not, I dare not, Your Highness, have a good rest, we will take our leave first."

After sending these people away with a few words, Chen Xi slammed the door with a righteous look on his face, then ran to the back and looked at Fu Bao, who was curled up there motionless: "Why are you here? And you are being chased by so many people."

Fu Bao watched the people outside leave, breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table, and took a big gulp of water: "It's a long story, how are you doing here?"

Chen Xi has been here for some time, but although this yard is not remote, it does look a bit desolate.

Chen Xi curled the corners of his lips: "Uncle Emperor has taken all kinds of precautions, but he still can't prevent the most loyal ministers under his command. If they want to protect me, even Uncle Emperor can't do anything. Of course, they will be tricked in secret, but we must get by openly. Don't worry, it's moving in the direction we expected."

Fu Bao nodded: "I have intercepted that batch of goods and did not give it to Tianqi. In a month and a half, if the matter is successful, it will definitely not be used on the battlefield this time."

Chen Xi nodded: "I'll take you out."

Fubao looked at his aura and found that he did have some royal air, which was quite intimidating.

Chen Xi ordered his men to pull the carriage to his yard, and then rushed out of the palace with Fu Bao. Everyone in the palace knew what had happened, but it was not a glorious thing, and they had to give Chen Xi face on the surface, so no one had the right to check his carriage.

After leaving the palace, Fubao took off the longevity lock from his neck and handed it to Chen Xi: "If you don't have military power, take this to Zheng Hesong, he will help you."

Chen Xi accepted it solemnly and wanted to send her out of Linzhou.

Fu Bao: "No need. The gates of Linzhou will not be opened now. If you force them to open it, it will also arouse suspicion. I am originally from Linzhou. I will just go back home to visit and avoid the limelight."

Chen Xi did not force her. He sent her to a safe place and left.

Fubao sat in the carriage, swaying towards the direction of Qili Village.

The temporary palace was originally located in Zhangjiazhuang, not far from Qili Village, and they arrived there in the afternoon by horse-drawn carriage.

There was a big rock pressing on the well at the entrance of the village, and the locust tree was already bare. The cold wind had no trees to block it, and it felt like a knife cutting on the face.

Most people in the village fled, and most of those who stayed behind were old, weak, sick and disabled. The drought claimed the lives of countless people.

Fubao walked on the snow, and the creaking sound was unusually clear in the quiet village. Every place was so familiar, yet so strange.

"Who is it?" An old voice sounded, and Fubao turned around to see an old man in bright red and green clothes, sitting under the gate, leaning against the door.

Fubao couldn't recognize who this was...
