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

In a courtyard somewhere, a man in black listened to his subordinate's report and said with a slight smile, "It's more interesting than I thought. Go and spread the news that Gou Da is a bandit."

The waiter who was delivering food learned that Lu Yun and her companions were leaving early the next morning, and he tactfully advised them, "Dear guest, the man we met today is a well-known ruffian here. You should wait a little longer to make a decision. It would be better for you to stay for a few more days to ensure safety." The waiter felt very sorry if such a beautiful lady was encountered by that group of people.

Lu Yun began to make up a story, "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me. I have already informed the elders at home about this matter. Someone will pick me up when I leave the city tomorrow." After that, he asked Caihe to grab a handful of copper coins and give them to him. Such kindness should not be let down.

Lying in bed until midnight, Lu Yun heard a rustling sound near the door. She opened her eyes and saw a piece of paper lying quietly in the crack of the door by the dim candlelight on the table.

Her heart slowly settled, thinking she was about to play out a scene from a shady shop in a movie. She got out of bed barefoot and walked over to pick up the paper. After reading it, Lu Yun frowned. "So the thug today was a bandit. That made sense. He must have accomplices behind him. No wonder no one dared to help him."

She was confident she could keep them if there were less than ten people, but if there were more than ten, it would be a bit tricky. Besides, who on earth had written this note? Lu Yun frowned, feeling like she was being led around by the nose.

No matter what, they must go to Panlong Mountain, and Lu Yun needs to carefully plan how to guard against this group of bandits.

The next day, Zhao Qingyu just woke up and was told that the princess had gone out. He waited for a full hour before he saw Lu Yun walk in holding a paper bag.

Lu Yun placed the paper bag on the table and said with a smile, "Master Zhao, I received news last night that bandits will attack us today. Just in case, Master Zhao, please put this thing in your sleeve. If you encounter a bandit, grab a handful and throw it into his eyes. It will work wonders."

Zhao Qingyu silently looked at the bag of white powder on the table, stretched out two fingers and twisted it, his eyes showing astonishment, "Is this quicklime powder?" Seeing the princess happily asking him to decorate more, he began to doubt the Taoist heritage of Qingxin Temple. Although this method is effective, it is also - insidious.

"However, how did the princess know that there was a bandit attack today?" Zhao Qingyu grasped the crux of the problem.

Lu Yun handed the note over without hiding anything. "Whether it's true or not, as you said, there are bandits in Luzhou. This is true. We are in the open and they are in the dark. We have to be on guard, Lord Zhao."

Zhao Qingyu said solemnly, "My lord, this is no joke. Lime is a good trick, but neither you nor I can fight, so how can we escape? In my opinion, it would be better to report to the government office and ask for an escort."

It started again. Lu Yun looked at him and blinked. "Who said I don't know martial arts? This princess has been practicing horse stance since she was three years old."

Zhao Qingyu couldn't hide his surprise. Is the family education in Ping'an Marquis Mansion so eclectic? It's true that different environments and soils breed different kinds of people.

After much persuasion, they pulled the people onto the carriage. Cai He filled the water bags as the lady instructed and gave one to each person. They also hid a bag of quicklime in their sleeves.

Lu Yun took out his sword and placed it at his side, looking eager to try.

The carriage moved forward slowly until it came to a valley. Although it was winter, the hillsides on both sides of the road were covered with dead trees and weeds.

Lu Yun, who had been sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and gave a wink to Lord Zhao and Caihe. Caihe nodded nervously and pulled the coachman's clothes.

Several masked men suddenly jumped out from the bushes on both sides. They were all strong and sturdy, and their exposed eyes stared fiercely at the carriage surrounded in the middle.

Lu Yun lifted the car curtain and immediately recognized the man at the end. She was not afraid at all. "Gou Da, how come you forgot what I said yesterday? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it seems that I didn't hit you hard enough yesterday, so you are still standing here today."

Gou Da saw that he had been discovered, so he simply pulled off the veil that was in the way, his eyes full of satisfaction. "Bitch, yesterday's revenge will be paid back a hundredfold and a thousandfold today."

"Really?" As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yun jumped out of the car and sprinkled a handful of white powder at the three people closest to her. She just saw clearly that there were eight people on the opposite side. After removing the useless Gou Da and three more, the rest would be within her grasp.

Caihe followed the young lady and poured a pot of water. The quicklime reacted with water and burned the skin. The three people whose eyes were splashed cried out in pain, knelt on the ground, holding their heads and wailing.

The other people in the car followed suit and attacked. Only three of the eight people in the circle were able to dodge, and the rest attacked Lu Yun at the same time.

Lu Yun drew out his long sword and rushed forward. With a few sword strikes, he knocked the three men's swords to the ground. Then he squatted down and swept his kick, knocking all three men over. Lu Yun seized the opportunity, gathered strength with his toes and kicked hard, breaking the calf of the nearest man.

A strong wind came from behind, Lu Yun dodged it by turning his head, turned back and stood firm, then raised his sword and stabbed it. With a "puff", the sword pierced the man's chest and he fell straight down.

"Second brother!" the rest of the men roared, picking up their knives and charging forward. Lu Yun met them fearlessly. The clash of swords sent sparks flying, and the large man felt a shudder in his palms, a tingling sensation spreading from his wrist to his shoulder. His arm gave way, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground. When he regained consciousness, a sharp sword was already at his neck. Knowing the outcome was lost, he collapsed to his knees.

Asking Cai He to take the prepared hemp rope and tie them up one by one, Lu Yun looked at Lord Zhao, who had been silent for some reason, and said, "Please keep this a secret for me, Lord Zhao. Also, search their bodies first and then interrogate them. Maybe there will be some clues."

"Yes." Zhao Qingyu pulled back his complicated thoughts and nodded his head.

A moment later, Zhao Qingyu piled the items he'd found on the open ground. Lu Yun, using a small branch, rummaged through them one by one. Besides gold and silver, there were also purses and handkerchiefs embroidered with erotic designs. "Wow, Ma has quite a rich private life." Thankfully, there weren't any items related to her mother or her brothers and sisters. Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head at Lord Zhao, signaling that it was time to question him.

Seeing that the leader was still stubborn and refused to give in, Lu Yun stretched out a hand and easily dragged the terrified Gou Da in front of him, smiling, "You don't want to say it?" She raised her foot and kicked hard at something in front of everyone's terrified eyes. Gou Da fainted. "I told you not to let me see you again." Those who like to molest young children will have their tools confiscated.

"Can I tell you now?" Lu Yun smiled and moved her toes.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," the leader gulped, a cold sweat breaking out. "About a month ago, my brothers and I received word that a caravan would be passing through Lianze County in the coming days. We wandered around Lianze County for several days but didn't see any of the caravan. We only saw a few carriages escorted north by a dozen escorts. We considered inquiring, but then we learned they were the wives of high-ranking officials. I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I just followed from a distance to see if any of our brothers dared to rob them and get a piece of the action."

At this point, he swallowed again, his eyes filled with fear. "Who knew, when we got to Panlong Mountain, a dozen masked men in black suddenly jumped out from nowhere and charged at us. I saw it from afar and knew it was bad. We are the ones most familiar with the soldiers' moves, so I could tell at a glance that those men in black were definitely from the military, so I quickly took my brothers and fled as far as possible."
