After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

The Zhenyuan Escort Agency's team moved slowly along the winding mountain road. There were steep cliffs on both sides and lush forests. The sunlight shone through the dense treetops, casting mottled shadows.

Dong Daitian walked at the front with an upright posture, twirling the javelin in his hand, his eyes scanning the front and sides sharply. Any movement would not escape his vigilance.

Dong Yuhong followed her father with light steps, the willow-curved double swords in her hands shining coldly under the scorching sun.

Occasionally she would exchange glances with her father. There was no need for much words between the father and daughter, as the tacit understanding between them was deeply rooted in their hearts.

He was playing with the two kitchen knives in his hands, as if they had life, sometimes spinning lightly, sometimes stopping steadily. Every movement revealed his deep affection for and superb skills with these two portable weapons.

The sunlight shines through the treetops and onto the sweaty foreheads of the escorts. The golden light complements their focused eyes, as if everyone is secretly thinking about how to better protect the Jade Guanyin in the big box.

Sun Erniang was another beautiful sight in the team. She held the unsheathed sword in her hand and her sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings. Any slight sound or movement would not escape her attention.

Although the sword has not been drawn, the sharp momentum that cannot be ignored makes the surrounding air seem to solidify a little.

Occasionally she would stop and listen, and her alertness and caution made the escorts respect her.

Lengzi, who was walking at the end, followed the proprietress. His steps were a little clumsy but he tried hard to keep pace with her.

There was always a flattering smile on his honest face, and his little eyes rolled around, as if he was searching in his mind for the next joke that would lighten the atmosphere.

Seeing that the proprietress was frowning, Lengzi pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said, "There was an ant and an elephant who went to the river to drink water. The ant said to the elephant, 'I can drink standing on the water.' Of course, the elephant didn't believe what the little guy said, so the ant replied..."

Having said this, Lengzi paused deliberately, his eyes wide open, as if that was the real funny part.

Although Lengzi's joke was a bit awkward and Mentou felt it was a bit dull, their proprietress couldn't help but smile, which instantly dispelled the boredom and tension in her heart caused by the long journey.

Seeing this, Lengzi's smile became even brighter, as if he had received a huge reward from the proprietress.

Suddenly, flying catkins, like light snowflakes, carried a deadly fragrance that filled the air, casting a layer of uneasy color on the originally peaceful valley.

Dong Daitian's eyes became more and more solemn. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind. At the same time, he quickly glanced around, looking for the threat hidden in the dark.

The escorts looked at each other with fear in their eyes. Although they felt weak in their limbs, they still held on to their bodies and surrounded the escort vehicle, vowing to protect the precious cargo in the vehicle at all costs.

Fortunately, Lengzi often gave guests knockout drugs when he was in the inn before, so he knew the properties of the medicine and immediately took out a bottle of antidote containing black pills.

He hurriedly gave himself and Er Niang some detoxification pills, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body.

Sun Erniang's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, but her body still trembled slightly, as if the antidote was making a final struggle against the toxin in her body.

Lengzi quickly supported Sun Erniang, his eyes full of concern: "Boss lady, are you feeling better?"

She nodded gently, but could not hide her weakness: "Lengzi, don't worry about me for now, go and distribute the detoxification pills to everyone."

Lengzi listened to the boss lady's words very much. Everyone took the detoxification pills and the feeling of weakness was relieved.

Although the detoxification pills have temporarily relieved the invasion of the toxin, Mentou's body still feels heavy and he is still trying hard to stand. Although the kitchen knife in his hand is no longer spinning, he is still ready to face the upcoming battle.

Just when everyone was still feeling a little weak, more than a dozen figures, like ghosts descending suddenly in the night, wearing bamboo hats and black gauze covering their faces, appeared silently in everyone's sight.

Their movements were swift and coordinated, as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times. Every time the sword was swung, it was accompanied by a sharp wind, directly attacking the escorts' vital points.

Dong Daitian suddenly jumped up, and his javelin turned into a silver lightning, shuttling between the men in black. Every stab was accompanied by his low roar, trying to block the sudden and surging darkness with his own strength.

However, his old injuries had not healed and his strength was gradually declining.

His movements began to seem powerless, and a mixture of sweat and blood slid down his cheeks, dripping into the dust, splashing tiny blood flowers.

Dong Yuhong was anxious to rush forward to save her father, but she could not break free from the two men in black who were following her like a shadow.

Sweat soaked her clothes, and every breath was accompanied by rapid and unwillingness. Although Dong Yuhong desperately sought an opportunity to break through the siege, the attack of the men in black was so strong that she was trapped inside.

In the distance, the back of her father Dong Daitian fighting alone gradually became blurred in Dong Yuhong's eyes. He was the unshakable pillar in her heart, but now it was crumbling.

However, the confrontation between Mentou and the man in black had reached a fever pitch. The two kitchen knives drew arcs in the air, and each swing was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, as if each knife could tear the air in half.

But the man in black was equally strong, with a strange figure and vicious swordsmanship. He and Mentou collided fiercely, sparks flew from their weapons, and dust flew around them.

The other escorts fell one by one in the fierce confrontation, their weapons scattered all over the ground, mixed with mud and blood, painting a tragic picture.

At this moment, Lengzi could only squat helplessly beside the escort car. However, he did not have the skills like Motou, otherwise he could protect the proprietress. But now he could only lie there and see if he could find a chance to help her.

Sun Erniang had been shuttling back and forth between the escort vehicle and the men in black. Her sword skills, as agile as water, could break through the shackles of the air every time she leaped and strike directly into the hearts of the men in black.

There was no trace of retreat in her eyes, only endless anger towards the enemy and a deep desire to protect Lengzi.

Although the black-clad men's attack was fierce, they could never seem to get close to Lengzi, because every time they tried to get close, Sun Erniang would fight for her life, using her sword and her body to build an indestructible line of defense.

Lengzi seized the opportunity, picked up the knife on the ground, and quietly approached the man in black who had his back to him. Suddenly, he paused, his feet slipped, and he almost fell to the ground. The blade in his hand flashed coldly in the sunlight.

The man in black turned around abruptly and met Lengzi's eyes. The awkward atmosphere seemed to be able to carve out a two-bedroom and one-living-room apartment.

"Mom!"

The scream broke the silence of the valley and also alarmed Sun Erniang who was fighting with other men in black.

She stretched out her body like a swallow flying in the sky, and the long sword in her hand quickly blocked the fatal blow aimed at Lengzi.
