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

"I was originally just a small fry in Longmen Cave. Later, when Princess Ning'an was getting married and the government was suppressing the bandits, I luckily escaped. I couldn't stand the hardship of farming and had to return to the mountains." The second in command's eyes were vacant. "About a year ago, I met the steward of the Li family. He gave me some money and asked me to work for the Li family. I used this money to recruit brothers and quickly expanded my power. Until half a year later, Steward Li showed up again and asked me to go to a spice shop called Fuxiang Garden in Dali City every March to pick up the goods and wait for him to come. In addition-"

He swallowed hard, as if he had lost his parents. "Just half a month ago, he suddenly found me and asked me to rob someone. After I finished robbing him, I realized that the stolen property belonged to the palace."

"Where's the stuff?"

"He took it away."

Lu Yun looked towards Kyoto. It seemed that someone wanted to reap the benefits without any effort. However, what they didn't know was that there was a small flaw in the contents of the booklet.

The young man's figure reappeared on the platform, and a red firework flew into the sky.

Lu Yun sat down in an open space that looked a little cleaner with a tired look on her face. Although she was very hungry, she had no appetite due to the astonishing amount of information she had received.

How big a mess can a person make?

If something really happened in Kyoto, Nanyue would surely be blamed. Zhou Boli promised her that Nanyue would not take the initiative to attack the Qin Dynasty, but what if the Qin Dynasty took the initiative to provoke a war?

For the first time, Lu Yun felt at a loss.

Dao Er quickly arrived with his men. Lu Yun handed him the letter she had written, her tone extremely serious. "You must personally deliver it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Dao Er was still shocked by the tragedy of the scene. Upon hearing this, he immediately came to his senses and responded respectfully, and then his eyes unconsciously glanced at the long sword in the princess's hand.

Lu Yun: "There's a cave behind the wardrobe in the Second Master's house. There are several boxes of stolen goods in the cave. I suggest donating them to the charity. I didn't have time to look in other places. You can take people to search carefully."

Dao Er straightened his expression and wrote down everything.

The sun gradually set in the west. Lu Yun exhaled a breath of white air and tied the wooden box to the horse's back. She wanted to get down the mountain before dark.

"Princess! Princess!" Dao Er shouted loudly, ecstatic. "Princess, A Da, A Da is not dead!"

Lu Yun turned around in shock. "Not dead?"

Dao Er burst into tears and knelt down to kowtow three times to Lu Yun. "My Lady Princess, your kindness is so great, I will never forget it!"

Several people sat around the campfire at night.

A Da was indeed not dead, but he was almost as thin as a skeleton. If Lu Yun came again in half a month, he would probably starve to death.

Ah Da picked up the bowl with shaking hands, swallowed the porridge whole, and shed his first tear in days. "My Lady Princess, if it weren't for you, I would have... wuwuwu, brother, my good brother."

Dao Er's eyes were slightly red, and he refused to accept his touch. He looked around and said something else, "Brother, can you go take a shower first? You really stink!"

Ah Da wiped away his tears and accused Dao Er of being inhumane. "I've only had two pieces of coarse bread in three days. I'm almost starving to death!"

Lu Yun quietly sat upwind and asked, "Ah Da, what is going on?"

The thin, dark-faced man wiped away his tears and began to recount his experiences over the past few days. It turned out that after being captured alive, he had revealed his identity, and the Second In Command had them locked up. Later, Manager Li ordered the Second In Command to kill him. To fulfill the task, the Second In Command chose a passerby of similar build, disfigured him, and then dressed him in Ah Da's clothes, weapons, and token, and threw him into the grass beside the road.

Lu Yun gritted her teeth and looked at the tied-up second-in-command, her knuckles crackling. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The second in command shrank back and smiled apologetically, "Sir, you didn't ask."

Lu Yun: "——" Thinking about it carefully, he really didn't say that Ada was dead.

The next day, Lu Yun parted ways with Dao Er and his group and sped up their journey to Kyoto. They had to find out how many people in Kyoto had been harmed by Baibanjiao before the Li family discovered anything unusual.

Unexpectedly, three days later, I met two people I wasn't really familiar with.

At a tea stall where passers-by rested, a thin old man and a man named Jiang San were quite excited when they saw Lu Yun. "Little brother, you, you--" "You're still alive!"

Lu Yun maintained her taciturn personality and nodded at the two of them.

Jiang San felt relieved and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, please give this young man a pot of your best tea and put it on my account."

Mr. Mo smiled kindly and asked, "Where are you going, little brother?"

Lu Yun said hoarsely, "Looking for relatives in Kyoto."

Jiang San was very enthusiastic. "I'm very familiar with Kyoto. Do you know where the person you're looking for lives?"

Lu Yun made up a random number, "Suzaku Street, No. 18, Jifeng Lane."

Jiang Sandan said, "Little brother, are you sure?"

Lu Yun heard something strange in his words and nodded lightly.

Jiang San's face turned grim, and he lowered his voice, "Little brother, then you'd better not go. This shop has been taken over by someone else a long time ago. The original silk shop has been converted into a teahouse. We can't afford to offend the person behind it."

Lu Yun shook her head and said, "Thank you, Third Master. My mother left me a will before she died, telling me to find my uncle."

My mother's uncle is the most important. No wonder! Jiang San sighed softly, "Don't be impulsive. I just heard that the Li family used some tricks to get this shop, but they shouldn't kill anyone."

It was the Li family again. Lu Yun frowned, "Third Master, what is the origin of this Li family?"

"Alas." Old Mo looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "The current emperor's uncle."

Lu Yun pretended to be innocent and said, "How could the uncle's family harm someone for such a small amount of money?"

Jiang Sanshen said mysteriously, "Little brother, this teahouse is doing very well. Many dignitaries come to support it. I heard that Mrs. Cui, the wife of the Earl of Dingyuan, goes there every day!"

Madam Cui? I haven't heard this name for a long time. Lu Yun just said indifferently, "A teahouse is not a theater. If you want to drink, just send someone to buy it back home and drink it slowly."

Jiang San smiled mysteriously, "Little brother, you will understand when you grow up."

"Ahem." Old Mo finally couldn't bear it any longer. "What nonsense are you talking about, little brother? I've been there once, and this teahouse is a proper one."

"It's just that..." the old man was skeptical. "The fragrance of this tea is really abnormal. I want to drink more after just one sip. I have been away from home for so many years and have never seen tea like this. After drinking it, I feel like I have become ten years younger."

Lu Yun secretly scratched her head. Could it be that there was some kind of coquettishness mixed in with that? The Li family was really quite courageous.

Things should be dealt with sooner rather than later. After leaving a silver ingot, Lu Yun stood up decisively and said goodbye to the two seniors.

"Hey, little brother!" Jiang San was unable to stop him and could only watch him leave.

Ten days later, Lu Yun finally arrived at the gates of Kyoto. Two years later, she once again stood on the bustling streets of Kyoto, turning away three or four children soliciting customers. Lu Yun tightened her clothes; Kyoto was still very cold in March. She had sneaked back to the capital, absolutely unable to return to the Lu family, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with Roujia.

Unexpectedly, there were crowds of people gathered at the gate of Princess Roujia's mansion to watch the fun.

A woman in a peach-pink dress knelt on the ground miserably, "Princess, I admit my mistake. Please let me in and kowtow to you."

Lu Yun in the crowd raised her eyebrows. Which cousin of Prince Consort Lin was this?

After waiting for a while, a maid dressed in green finally came out of the door. She said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Madam Li, the princess has been feeling unwell since her last visit to the palace. I'm afraid the illness may have spread to you. You'd better go back."

The peach-pink woman climbed up the pole, sobbing, "Miss Lu Tan, it is my duty to serve the mistress, please let me in."

Seeing that Lu Tan still refused to give in, Madam Tao Fen rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground. In the panic, a young man rushed out from the crowd. The young man took her hand and felt her pulse, his face full of joy, "This lady is pregnant."
