The carriage stopped and started, and after seven or eight days it entered the mountain road. In the evening, the group stopped to rest.

Su Yuan got out of the carriage and sat on a stone next to it to rest.

Li Mo took out some dry food for Su Yuan to eat.

Su Yuan ate dry food with water and felt a little bad.

It would take them another seven or eight days to reach Linzhou. Traveling in ancient times was troublesome, so it was no wonder that those nobles were unwilling to travel far.

Now that it was getting dark, they planned to rest here and set off again at dawn tomorrow.

Su Yuan sat outside for a while and then went into the carriage to rest. At this moment, she smelled the aroma of barbecue.

Su Yuan, who hadn't eaten meat for two days, couldn't help swallowing.

But she couldn't bring herself to ask the guards for food.

I'd better be patient and eat it in Linzhou.

What she was worried about now was not the problem of food, but the fact that the journey had been too smooth.

Li Chong had three sons, two legitimate sons and one illegitimate son. Except for the insignificant illegitimate son, the two legitimate sons were ungrateful and could not be tamed.

They are not as loyal as their biological father. They have always wanted to take the Li family's property for themselves.

This time she came to Linzhou with great fanfare, so Li Guangjin and the others naturally wouldn't let her arrive in Linzhou smoothly.

But the journey has been calm, and she doesn't know what storm will be waiting for her next.

Su Yuan rubbed his temples and sighed heavily.

She was just about to lie down to rest when Li Mo came in from outside.

"Madam, this is the meat that Ya'an and his friends grilled, specially for you."

Su Yuan looked at half a roasted chicken. She lifted the car curtain and saw several people not far away eating the roasted chicken while talking and laughing. Only the leader, Ya An, was silently grilling meat for everyone.

Su Yuan tore off half and gave the other half to Li Mo.

After eating the roast chicken, Su Yuan fell asleep peacefully.

At night, Su Yuan was awakened by the sound of fighting outside. She lifted the curtain and saw the flashing of swords and the flashing of sabers outside. Ya'an and the others were fighting with the men in black.

Su Yuan woke up Li Mo who was lying beside her, and Li Mo was trembling with fear.

Not long after, Ya'an got on the carriage and took Su Yuan out. He rode the horse and took Su Yuan away.

Although Su Yuan was worried about Li Mo's safety, she knew that the killers were targeting her.

If she left, they would have no reason to attack Li Mo.

And there are six guards protecting Li Mo.

She put aside her worries and continued to escape with Ya'an.

After an unknown amount of time of jolting on the horse's back, Ya'an helped Su Yuan get off the horse. He patted the horse's back, and the horse continued to run forward. The two of them took advantage of the night to hide in the mountains and forests.

After they walked for a while, Ya'an suddenly fell down.

After checking, Su Yuan found that he had been stabbed twice.

She quickly took out some medicine and bandaged his wound. After she had bandaged the wound, she collapsed on the ground to rest.

The previous days were indeed the calm before the storm. The killers kept coming, and no one knew how much money they paid.

As dawn was approaching, Su Yuan looked at Ya'an beside her curiously. She moved closer to Ya'an and wanted to take off his mask.

But just as she reached out her hand, the other person woke up, held her wrist and looked at him.

Looking closely into Ya'an's eyes, Su Yuan became more certain of his thoughts.

This mute slave is Cheng Lang!

"Brother? It really is you." Su Yuan suddenly said.

Ya'an hesitated for a moment, then he took off his mask, revealing his pale handsome face.

"When did you recognize me?" Cheng Lang asked puzzledly.

He had tried his best to disguise himself, how could Su Yuan still recognize him?

He didn't mean to deceive Su Yuan, but as the Duke of Li, it was inappropriate for him to leave the capital for no reason.

He had already asked a substitute to impersonate him in Kyoto, and he followed here because he was worried about Su Yuan.

Sure enough, his worries were not wrong. The Li family sent so many assassins over. If he was not there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This time when I go to Linzhou, it’s time to reorganize the Li family.

"I have doubted your identity from the beginning! Why did you pretend to be a mute slave and hide it from me?" Su Yuan asked.

Cheng Lang was worried about her, so he personally escorted her to Linzhou.

But he doesn't need to pretend to be someone else. Could it be that he is still worried that she will report Cheng Lang?

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't want to cause any trouble." Cheng Lang explained.
