The bandit leader's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Do you know me?"

Wen Yan nodded slightly, "You know me too, why don't you take a closer look?"

The other party came over with a machete, as if he was going to kill her if they didn't agree. He squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Yan carefully, then looked at her again in disbelief, "You, you are..."

He pulled Wen Yan aside and said, "Are you Madam Wen?!"

Wen Yan nodded slightly, "Why are you a bandit here?"

The sturdy man in front of him was none other than Ye Qinghuai's confidant Liu Cui. The two of them were in disguise, but they happened to meet here.

Wen Yan absolutely didn't believe that Ye Qinghuai's men would fall to the level of bandits. There must be something wrong with this escort mission.

Liu Cui stroked his beard, looking very puzzled: "How did you recognize me?"

Wen Yan looked at him speechlessly. Is this the important thing now? But she still said, "Your horse."

Liu Cui glared, "I'm talking to you nicely, why are you cursing?"

Wen Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm talking about the horse you're riding! It's the same horse you rode when you came to my house before! It has a notch on the ear, so it's easy to remember."

"So that's how it is, but it's been sick these past few days, so I can only take care of it by my side."

This confidant of Ye Qinghuai kept talking. Wen Yan quickly stopped him, "I'm going to the capital now. If you rob their escort now, will they be held accountable? They don't know what they are escorting, they are innocent."

"Don't worry, the Marquis is here to take care of everything. If they make it over, the master will save their lives. If they run away halfway, then our master will not be able to save them."

After the two of them finished muttering, Liu Cui returned to the team, "Let's go!"

Wen Yan looked at their backs and realized that this group of people were very popular and well-trained. They were not bandits at all, but were clearly from the military.

Wen Yan looked at the messy escort team, felt the breath of each one, confirmed that they were all alive, and then found a tree trunk to sit down. Just wait, I don't know when they will wake up.

In order to make it more realistic, Liu Cui inflicted some injuries on them, and they also unpacked the escorted items and took them away, but now they put stones in the box, as if there were stones in the box originally.

But who would spend money to transport a bunch of rocks all the way?!

Anyway, Chen Hu didn't believe it. As soon as he woke up, he found that the box had been moved. His face was pale. This was not the first time he did business with this family. Naturally, he knew what kind of people would target him if something was missing.

Seeing the leader staring at the box in a daze, the other brothers in the escort agency also panicked, and someone suggested that they should just run away.

Seeing that Chen Hu was becoming more and more shaken, Wen Yan sighed and decided to help them.

"Donor Chen, let me tell you your fortune and leave it all to fate, how about that?" Wen Yan lowered her eyebrows and had a smile on her face. Although she looked ordinary, she actually looked a bit like a Buddhist.

Chen Hu said, "Master, you do the math. I'll listen to you."

Wen Yan pretended to hold up the Bagua plate and calculated quickly with her fingers. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Is your employer a high-ranking official in the capital?"

"That's right!" Chen Hu's eyes lit up, and he felt a little hopeful. "Master, what else have you calculated?"

"I calculated that as long as you escort this escort on time, your life will be safe, but if you escape halfway, you will be hunted down and killed."

Wen Yan put away the props in her hand and asked, "Boss Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Hu was unsure of his decision, and since he had just said that everything would depend on God's will, he would just give it a try. He called his brothers and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go. It's a blessing, not a disaster. Even if it is a disaster, our Zhenhu Biao Bureau must take responsibility for our mistakes!!"

"it is good!"

After this encouragement, everyone cheered up and continued to move towards the capital.

The rest of the journey was very smooth. They arrived in the capital at noon. People were coming and going through the city gate. Escort agencies and horse-drawn carriages like theirs were very common, and no one would even take a deliberate look at the few books.

Wen Yan was going to a mansion in the suburbs of Beijing. She had originally planned to go there directly after arriving in Beijing, but she remembered that the escort agency still had to deliver the darts. Coincidentally, she also wanted to know how Ye Qinghuai was going to deal with it, so she followed him directly.

According to the agreement, Chen Hu had to enter from the back door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and after moving the boxes down, he would have the contact person check them before he could get the money.

Chen Hu's heart was pounding and he was sweating in the middle of summer.

What Wen Yan didn't expect was that the person who contacted her was actually a maid. The other party looked very arrogant, so she didn't do it herself. She winked at the servant behind her and said, "Open it."

The two servants hurried to open it.

"Wait!" Suddenly, the head maid stopped them and lowered her head to carefully examine the seal of the box. "What's going on? Have you opened it?"

Chen Hu's breathing stagnated, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "No, is it because of the bumps on the road? It's possible that the mountains are high and the water is long."

The head maid was obviously a little skeptical, but the most important thing was that the goods inside were fine, "Open it."

After opening it, there was a whole box of stones of all sizes.

The maid's face changed drastically. She grabbed a stone and threw it at Chen Hu and the others. "How dare you! Are you trying to fool me with this? What's in it?"

The stone hit Chen Hu's head and blood gushed out instantly.

Wen Yan frowned slightly. Didn't they say someone would come to deal with it? What happened?

When Wen Yan was about to do something, the small door next to her was pushed open, and a graceful and handsome man and a shorter "handsome man" appeared.

As soon as he saw Wen Yan, the short guy winked at her when no one was paying attention.

Wen Yan curled her lips. This child is still so naughty after such a long time.

Ye Qinghuai's appearance shocked everyone present, especially the head maid Ruyi. She knelt down tremblingly, "My Lord, why are you here?"

"I was passing by here and saw you guys were making a lot of noise, so I came to see what you were doing." Ye Qinghuai walked to the big boxes and said with a smile, "Why, do you like collecting stones? In that case, how about I ask someone to dig a few more stones by the river and send them to you in a few days?"

Ruyi knelt down, her heart beating fast. How much did the prince know?

Not daring to agree or not, Ruyi said in a low voice: "You are joking, my Lord."

"Why is there a Taoist nun here?" Ye Qinghuai walked up to Wen Yan, a smile in his eyes, "I wonder what this Taoist priest can do? Can he read faces and palms? Can he tell fortunes?"

"Know a thing or two."

"That's great." He walked up to Ruyi and said in a cold voice, "Ruyi, I know you are from the palace, you are capable and loyal, but do you think the people in the palace will care about the life of a maid like you? In the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, you should change your behavior in the palace, understand?"

"Know, know."

"Since the goods have been delivered, why don't you pay the money?"

Ruyi quickly paid the money and asked Chen Hu and the others to leave as soon as possible.

Ye Qinghuai did not stop him, but just said: "Come here, help me calculate whether there is anyone in the Zhenguo Mansion who wants to harm this prince recently. If you can calculate it, there will be a huge reward!"

"Yes."

Wen Yan followed with lowered eyebrows, gave Chen Hu a reassuring look, and just told him to meet at the agreed place three days later.
