Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Lai Ye trotted all the way to the side door, but didn't see Fenfang. She held the letter in her hand, feeling a little anxious. She hadn't seen her for a long time, and she didn't know how Fenfang was doing recently.

The letter asked her to meet in two days and also said that he had brought her some local specialties.

She vaguely felt that it was not that simple.

"Lai Ye? Lai Ye?" Lai Xiang waved her little hand in front of her. The princess said it was time to have dinner, so why was she in a daze?

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After Lai Ye finished speaking, Fu Li left.

Feng Xili frowned as she looked at the drawing she had drawn, not noticing Lai Ye's abnormality. There was no electricity or alcohol here, so the copper pot could only burn charcoal.

But if you burn charcoal, you need a groove to hold the carbon, and burning charcoal will produce carbon monoxide, so this issue needs to be studied...

"Laixiang, send this drawing over." She yawned and handed over the redesigned copper pot sample.

"Yes."

"Princess, it's time to eat." Xia Feng took a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Feng Xili looked up at her and sighed softly. The title of "Princess" sounded inexplicably distant to her, as if constantly reminding her that this was a male-dominated society and that she, a woman, could not make any waves.

How infuriating!

It seems that no matter where you are, making money is the kingly way, and making money is the only thing you can fully control.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, and in the past few days, cold winds had been blowing from the west, making people tremble in their bones. The long queue on the official road had obviously slowed down.

Mu Lanxun narrowed his eyes coldly. At this speed, there was a high probability that they would not be able to reach the next city tonight.

The team had been marching for ten days, but had been attacked three times and robbed twice. Although they were all dealt with safely, he always felt that those people seemed to be here to disturb people's hearts.

They come with great fanfare to rob and threaten, but when they see they are no match for them, they immediately run away faster than anyone else. Then, they do the same thing next time, just like an immortal cockroach, which makes people feel extremely disgusted and helpless.

"Master, there is a Qingshui Town twenty miles away. Should we go into the town to rest or continue on our journey?"

Yuanri rode closer on horseback, his voice a little hazy in the wind.

The sky turned gloomy, the wind was as cold as a knife, and it looked like it was going to snow.

Mu Lanxun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Qingshui Town."

If it really snowed, it would not be safe for them to sleep outdoors.

"Take this and go to the Qingshui Town government office first."

He took out the token given by Emperor Qi Zhao from his bosom. Whenever they checked into an inn along the way, he would go to the local government office to ask for soldiers to escort them until they reached the next city.

Yuanri took the token skillfully, kicked his horse's belly and ran out of the team first.

Mu Fengze had been tormented quite a bit by Princess Yihe these past few days. His eyes were dark and blue. He glanced at Mu Lanxun and then closed his eyes to rest.

Qingshui Town is worthy of its name, with large and small bodies of water one after another, like a small island sitting on the lake.

When Mu Fengze looked at the calm lake outside his window, he was silent for a moment. He felt a little funny and a little heartwarming. That girl... was she going to be a fortune teller?

As expected, someone started making trouble again: "What the hell is this place? Are you trying to freeze me to death?"

Mu Lan had booked the small inn, and someone's screams were only heard in the sky above this place.

Princess Yihe drank the hot Tremella soup brought by her maid, which had just warmed her cold stomach. Before she could even take a breath, she felt a chill running straight to the top of her head. In an instant, the scene around her began to change.

The table not far away twisted its body, broke off its legs, and staggered towards him. The round stool beside the table suddenly turned into a tortoise shell with five, six, seven or eight short legs, bumping around in the room.

There was a constant buzzing sound around her that she couldn't understand, black and gray mist, and red figures, all of which were circling around her.

She closed her eyes in despair, and it came again!

"Someone come! Add a charcoal basin! This princess is almost freezing to death!!" She was shaking her hands, not wanting anyone to notice that she was hallucinating again. She, a princess of a royal family, never wanted to experience the situation of hiding behind a maid and shivering like a madman again.

The illusion came to harass her from time to time, and she could only yell and annoy the people around her. Knowing that there were people walking back and forth next to her, she felt a little relieved.

The entire inn was occupied by their people. When the last ray of sunlight faded, Yuanri led a few people into the gate.

"Master, Qingshui Town is too small, and the government office only sent three people." Yuanri reported to Mu Lanxun in a low voice, his eyes vaguely glancing at the waists of the three people.

Mu Lanxun raised the corner of his mouth. These three people were obviously elite soldiers. They walked steadily, had sharp eyes, soft swords hidden on their waists, and daggers tied in their sleeves. Qingshui Town... really should not be underestimated!

"Well, you go and arrange it." He blinked imperceptibly and walked towards those people.

Late at night, the wind gradually stopped and a rustling sound gently fell from the sky.

It was snowing as expected. If the snow was too heavy tonight, it would likely affect their itinerary tomorrow.

"New Year's Day." Mu Lanxun took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed it to him.

"Just in case, you go ahead."

Yuan Ri was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Master, you can't be alone!"

Xia Feng followed the young lady, and Chun Geng was in Ya'an City. He was the deepest hidden stake they had buried and could not be summoned easily. Shang Si was guarding the Zixiang Palace, so he was the only one left by his master's side.

The master suffered a lot during the last Phoenix City incident, and this time he cannot be left alone no matter what.

Mu Lanxun glanced at him and said, "It's okay. There are people here, they can hold each other back. You don't have to worry. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Master..." Yuanri wanted to say something, but he was frozen in place by a glare from him. He had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around and dive into the wind and snow.

At the hour of Yin, everything was quiet. Fine snowflakes were still floating outside the window, and occasionally one could hear a horse neighing. The whole world seemed to be shut off from all sound, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

"Crunch...Crunch..." The sound of snow being squeezed came from somewhere, and Mu Lanxun, who was dozing off on the edge of the bed, immediately became alert.

He rushed to the door in two steps. Just as his hand touched the door frame, the door suddenly opened and a dark shadow pressed towards him.

He snorted and laughed, then stepped back sideways holding his breath. The black shadow pressing towards him missed and with a crisp "bang", fell straight in front of him.

He secretly grasped the dagger in his sleeve, stared at the person lying on the ground, slowly got up, and looked up at him.

"Sir, you have such a cruel heart that you just watched me fall?" The delicate female voice, with such a tone of grievance and sadness, made him feel cold all over.

When he saw the woman still posing on the ground, he immediately wanted to dig out his eyes.

The woman lying on the ground was wearing a light gauze dress and had an extremely charming and cool makeup. Her bright autumn eyes were looking at him lovingly.

In the dead of night, a strange woman dressed so coolly suddenly appeared in this cold and remote inn, which seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

The woman smiled shyly and stretched out her slender hand, "Sir, won't you give me a hand?"

A strange fragrance entered Mu Lanxun's mouth and nose. He was dazzled for a moment, then bit the tip of his tongue. The next moment, the dagger in his hand chopped down at the woman's head!

The woman who was teasing just a moment ago suddenly stopped moving, staring intently at the rapidly falling dagger, excitement and anticipation flickering in her eyes.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and the dagger that was about to chop down moved half an inch to the side. He stopped the force, then turned his wrist and hit the woman's temple with the handle of the knife.

"Ah!" With a cry of pain, the woman fell to the ground again. The look in her eyes when she looked up at him was no longer tender, but full of cruelty and determination.

It is indeed a scam!
