The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

As the sky was getting light, Lu Yun slung over a small backpack, carrying a torch and a machete for self-defense, and headed up the mountain according to the route she remembered.

The mountains were covered with a thin layer of white morning mist. When the first ray of golden sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone into the gloomy forest.

Lu Yun has arrived at today's destination - the pine forest. The soil under her feet is moist and soft, and along the way she can see many blackened chicken mushrooms that have exploded.

Lu Yun casually broke off a branch, picked the still fresh chicken mushrooms, wrapped them in leaves, and put them in her small backpack.

At the same time, a group of people were rushing towards the mountain.

The old man handed the task of watching the yard to Cai He and put on the backpack. There were guests coming to the house, and today was market day at the nearby village, so she was going to buy some things.

Cai He sent the old man to the mountain road before turning back, picking up the broom in the corner and starting to sweep the yard. She gathered the fallen leaves in the yard together and shoveled them into the dustpan.

Cai He paused, as she thought she had just heard the sound of a bell. She picked up the dustpan and walked out of the yard, where she saw several familiar figures.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Cai He bowed hurriedly.

Zhou Boli handed the big yellow dog to Liuzi and asked, "Miss Caihe, where is the princess now?"

Cai He lowered her eyes guiltily and raised her hand to point at the mountains behind them. "Last night, the master said she was going to pick mushrooms. She went into the mountains early this morning. I estimate that an hour has already passed."

Zhou Boli's face darkened slightly. "What's the name of the mushroom she wants to pick?"

Cai He recalled seriously, "The master didn't say it explicitly, but kept talking about chicken stewed with mushrooms——"

Zhou Boli's face flashed with confusion when he heard this. "Chicken stewed with mushrooms? I've never heard of wild mushrooms called this."

Liuzi coughed lightly and said, "Master, this is the name of a northern dish. People in the north like to use honey mushrooms when stewing chicken soup. The formal name is "Shanzhen Stuffed Chicken", but it is commonly known as chicken stewed with mushrooms. However, the honey mushrooms in South Vietnam mostly grow on snow-capped mountains, not Mount Gongga." It is also the favorite of our prince.

Zhou Boli frowned and said, "Speak to the point."

Liuzi immediately said, "But there are chicken mushrooms. Chicken mushrooms are very delicious when used to stew chicken. I guess the princess must have gone there-"

Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw a vast pine forest.

Lu Yun fully learned from the last lesson and had a safe journey. Not only did she pick up a lot of the chicken mushrooms she had been longing for, but she also raked up a few pig-arch mushrooms, which are the famous truffles in modern times.

Although it has a unique aroma, there are too many delicious wild mushrooms in South Vietnam, so local people are not interested in it. Only pigs raised in the forest like it.

The small backpack was already overflowing. Lu Yun sat on a tree branch, nibbled a piece of pie, and observed the surroundings. The mushrooms were ready, and now all she needed were a few plump and adorable chicks.

After filling her stomach, Lu Yun jumped off the tree branch and turned to the left. She remembered that the last time she got lost, she had passed by a river with abundant water and lush grass. Water hens loved to build nests and lay eggs in the reeds.

I made marks along the way with my machete as I walked. After about an incense stick of time, I saw a clear stream. A few clumps of white reed flowers could be vaguely seen upstream of the stream.

Lu Yun continued walking along the stream. She heard something calling, the sound was quick and short.

Pushing aside the bushes in front of him, Lu Yun's mind was filled with alarm. Quicker than his mind, he dodged the incoming arrow by leaning sideways. The arrow barely grazed his chest before piercing the tree trunk behind him.

Lu Yun was shocked and angry. There were several people standing in the direction where the arrow came from, and the man in the middle had not yet put down the ox horn bow in his hand.

Luo Yun snorted softly, "It's a woman!" What a disappointment! He threw the bow in his hand to his attendant and turned to leave, but he saw his attendant staring at the front without blinking, his eyes full of amazement.

The woman standing in the bushes was dressed in the black and red clothing of the Baizhi tribe, a colorful apron embroidered with azaleas tied around her slender waist. Her ordinary attire couldn't conceal her stunning beauty, especially her clear, piercing eyes, which, even with a hint of anger, made it impossible to look away. She looked like a golden-edged peony blooming in the mountains, dazzling and dazzling.

Luo Yun coughed heavily.

Wang Zheng then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, bent down to pick up the bow on the ground. He wanted to take a few more glances, but when he caught a glimpse of the young master's expression out of the corner of his eye, he had to lower his head to the ground.

Luo Er relied on her grandfather being a high official in South Vietnam and had a high opinion of herself. However, she had an ordinary appearance and therefore hated seeing women who were prettier than her.

After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, his heart was filled with jealousy. How could a country girl have such a beautiful appearance!

Gong Jinjin glanced at Luo Er beside her with a look of disdain.

"You, apologize!" Lu Yun looked at the uninvited guests coldly. If she had not avoided them in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Unexpectedly, the leading man in white showed no remorse and cursed, "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to apologize?"

The woman in green at his side turned the tables and screeched, "It was you who scared away our prey first. A musk deer costs more than twenty taels, more than enough to buy a few lowly people like you."

The man in white said in a sinister voice, "I think we should let her take the place of the deer. If she can successfully dodge the three arrows, we'll let her go."

Luo Er raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction and said, "Just do as my brother said. It's a pity for this face."

The two men are young but so vicious that they can decide a person's life or death with just one move.

Lu Yun's mood dropped to freezing point, and she slowly drew out the scimitar hanging at her waist.

Just as the man in white put his fingers on the bow and arrow and was about to draw the bow, several voices were heard behind him and his raised arm was lowered again.

"Cousin!" Jiaosong, with a head full of colorful braids and a small bow on her back, ran over excitedly holding a gray rabbit, followed by the equally excited Luo Jiang.

Lu Yun and Jiao Song looked at each other. Lu Yun narrowed her eyes. Jiao Song was shocked. He dropped the rabbit in his hand to the ground and subconsciously shouted, "Princess!"

Except for Lu Yun, everyone else's expressions changed.

Luo Yun's voice trembled slightly, "Brother Song, what did you call her? Did you recognize the wrong person?" Luo Er no longer had the arrogance and looked panicked.

"Second Brother Song, you——"

"Brother Jiaosong, I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person."

Several people looked at Gong Jinjin who was speaking, only to see her say with great confidence, "When I came here, my mother had just returned from the palace. I heard my mother say with my own ears that she had seen the princess in the palace."

Luo Er asked anxiously, "Jinjin, are you sure?"

Gong Jinjin lowered her eyes. "I heard it with my own ears, mother. Could it be that mother would lie to me?" She smiled faintly and looked at Jiaosong, who was hesitant to speak. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Brother Jiaosong, you must have recognized the wrong person. The princess is so precious, how could she appear alone in this desolate wilderness? Brother Jiaosong, am I right?"

Jiaosong had never seen Sister Jinjin like this before. She was like a spotted snake. He was shocked by his own thoughts and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

The person in front of me looks exactly like the princess, but - Sister Jinjin said that the princess is in the palace.

Could it be? Jiao Song looked confused. Could it be that he really recognized the wrong person?
