The next morning, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue set out for Luzhou with their group, carrying two large carts of things. One cart contained Xiao Yibai's preparations and the rewards sent by the Emperor yesterday, while the other contained gifts prepared by Tan Taihong.

Xiao Tao and Qi Yun did not accompany on this long journey. Qi Feng had to deal with the secret matters in the palace. Feng Wu and Feng Liu went out in the open to serve closely. Two carts of things were driven by four secret guards. Tan Tai Hong and Xue Ying went together as Mu Xiyue's family members.

In addition, the secret guards had set out half a day in advance to explore the route and arrange accommodation for the group.

Firefox wanted to go with Mu Xiyue again, but this time the journey was long and the time was long, and Mu Xiyue really didn't want to go with him. After much persuasion, it seemed that Firefox really listened, lying in Xiaotao's arms and pointing his butt at Mu Xiyue to express his dissatisfaction, but in the end he stayed.

Luzhou is located in the easternmost part of Tianqi State, bordering Shuyu State. Its customs and practices are quite different from those of Shangjing. The Yu family has been in Luzhou for nine years and enjoys the peaceful life there.

Xiao Yibai's grandfather, Yu Zhuangting, was exactly sixty years old this year. He was practicing boxing in the garden with great energy when he saw his son, daughter-in-law and grandson come in together. His daughter-in-law's eyes were red as if she had just cried.

Old Master Yu put away his fist and asked, "What happened?"

Yu Jianhong, a middle-aged man in his early forties, choked up when his old father asked him this question.

"Father, Prince Jin sent a letter saying that he has found Qi'er."

Old Master Yu was a little bit incredulous, afraid that he had heard it wrongly, "What did you say, you found Qi'er? Is it true?"

Yu Jianhong handed the letter in his hand to his father. It was a very small piece of paper with only a few words on it: I have found my cousin Jingqi, and I will take her to Luzhou for a reunion after arranging matters in Beijing.

Xiao Yiyue used a Cuiying to deliver the letter to Luzhou. The Cuiying was fast and it only took six days to fly from Shangjing to Luzhou. However, because the Cuiying was small, the letter paper it carried was not big and could not contain much content.

After seeing this, Mr. Yu's eyes were slightly red, and his body was a little unsteady. "Okay, okay, I found it, I found it!"

Yu Jingping couldn't hide his joy, "Grandfather, please don't get too excited. Prince Jin said he would bring my sister back once everything is arranged. This year's New Year will truly be a reunion."

Yu Jianhong's wife's surname was Li Huimin. Although her mother's family was a merchant, the Li family was very dignified and virtuous. Her voice was not as clear as usual, but a little hoarse after crying.

"Father, Ping'er is right. You must take good care of yourself. I don't know if Prince Jin will bring his princess with him. It would be even better if she came along."

Since receiving Xiao Yibai's letter, the Yu family has started to tidy up the yard prepared for Xueying. The yard where Xiao Yibai lives only needs to be cleaned, and all the arrangements are based on Xiao Yibai's preferences and have not been changed.

Three days later, the Yu family received another letter from Xiao Yibai. The content of this letter made the Yu family sigh again.

The letter stated the departure date of the group and also stated that Xueying was bringing her fiancé along.

Fiancé, are you going to marry your daughter off before she even lives at home?

Although Mr. Yu also wanted to keep his granddaughter at home for a few more years to make up for the missing family affection, he was more open-minded than the others.

"Okay, don't make things difficult for her when she comes. Qi'er brought her back with her because she likes her. We already owe her too much, and we can't let her feel disappointed. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

Mrs. Li nodded quickly and agreed, "Father is right. It's a great blessing to see Qi'er still alive and well."

Xiao Yibai and his companions didn't waste any time on the journey. They only ate and slept, and they were on their way. After ten days of travel, they hadn't encountered any assassination attempts. It seemed Xiao Yibai was right. Prince Rui wouldn't try to deal with him now, and Prince Qi wouldn't dare to make any moves now that the Emperor was watching. However, Prince Qi had never sent anyone to assassinate Xiao Yibai before.

The sky gradually darkened, and the next city was still a day's journey away. The group was now in the wilderness.

There's no big problem in the wilderness, as everyone in the group is quite skilled. It's just that it's raining lightly today.

On rainy days, the people in the two carriages were not exposed to the rain, but the guards who followed on horseback suffered.

Feng Wu came back from exploring the road ahead and said, "Master, Princess, there is a dilapidated temple at the foot of the mountain about two miles ahead."

Xiao Yibai nodded, "Speed up, let's spend the night in that dilapidated temple!"

The dilapidated temple was really dilapidated. The door was gone and one side of the roof was leaking. Fortunately, the temple was not small and could still shelter from the rain. However, the horses had to get wet in the rain.

There was no place to find dry firewood on a rainy day, so Mu Xiyue took out a glowing stone from her bag and placed it on the ground for lighting. Although the light was very weak, it was still some light.

Everyone sat on the ground against the wall. There was no firewood to make a fire, so everyone ate cold steamed buns and dried meat. This was the first time they had slept in the wild in the past ten days.

Mu Xiyue woke up when it was just getting light. She went outside and saw that the rain had stopped a long time ago, but the ground was still wet. The secret guards had already taken the horses to graze.

After the secret guards came back, everyone set out again. If everything went well, they could reach the city at night. However, unexpected things always happen. They had not walked for half an hour when a group of people appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

Mu Xiyue stuck her head out of the carriage and saw the leader blocking the road ahead. She shouted, "Everyone, we don't want to hurt anyone. Leave your things behind and we'll let you pass."

Yo, robber!

Seeing Mu Xiyue suddenly become excited, Xiao Yibai smiled helplessly. The journey was indeed very boring, and he couldn't stop Yueyue from wanting to play.

Mu Xiyue jumped off the carriage and looked around. It seemed that her side was indeed easy to rob. The two carriages in front were filled with people and were driven by Feng Wu and Feng Liu. The two carriages in the back were loaded with goods and also looked to be full.

Before Mu Xiyue could speak, the big man who had just called out to her laughed out loud and said, "Hey, how come a woman came down? She's really pretty. But I already have a wife. If you're willing, I can make you a concubine."

Mu Xiyue curled her lips, "Really? It sounds like you are the leader of these people."

Next to the big man was a thin man, who smiled obscenely and said: "Little girl, you have good taste. This is our big brother."

At this time, Xiao Yibai had already gotten out of the car, and Tan Taihong and Xueying behind him also got out of the car and walked to Mu Xiyue's side.

Mu Xiyue looked at the robbers in front of her and said to Xiao Yibai beside her, "How about we go to their lair?"

As he said this, he raised his hand and rolled the leading man off his horse and threw him to the ground in front of him. Xiao Yibai drew the soft sword from his waist and placed it on the man's neck.

Xiao Yibai said: "Yueyue wants to go, so your husband will go with you to have fun."

The sudden change was so swift that the robbers were stunned. It was the first time Xueying had seen Mu Xiyue in action. She had been imprisoned for two years and didn't know much about Mu Xiyue, who had only been in Shangjing City for less than a year. What kind of martial arts could pull someone over from a distance?
