The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Zhou Yifeng pushed aside the grass and saw a young girl kneeling on the ground, covering another woman's mouth tightly.

Because of fear, his hands were trembling slightly, his breathing was very light, and his lips were tightly pursed.

The grass was parted, and the burning firelight shone on her face, meeting Zhou Yifeng's gaze.

Her pupils clearly reflected Zhou Yifeng's appearance, and her face flashed with fear, terror, helplessness, despair and a hint of relief.

Zhou Yifeng turned sideways so that everyone could see the two of them.

"Two peeping little mice."

Yun Zhi looked at the two people. When the smell of burnt corpses came out, she heard a very short vomiting sound.

She only made a slight sound and then it was cut off. I think it was the girl who covered her mouth.

Judging from their clothes, expressions, and demeanor, they should be in a master-servant relationship, with the girl being the master and the one with his mouth covered being the servant.

Moreover, Yun Zhi looked at the fabric of the girl's clothes and the exquisite embroidery on it, although it looked a little gray because of the hurried journey.

But having grown up in the palace in her previous life, she could still tell at a glance that the clothes were extraordinary. The person wearing this clothes must be either rich or noble.

Moreover, when encountering such a thing, she did not scream at the beginning, but was able to quickly cover the maid's mouth, showing strong ability to respond.

Even now, she didn't faint like an ordinary woman, and she managed to remain calm.

A person with an extraordinary background came to this remote county town in such a miserable state. What happened next must be serious.

Maybe it can be used later.

Having made up her mind, Yun Zhi walked towards them.

Seeing Yun Zhi raise her feet, the villagers spontaneously stepped aside to make way for her.

At this time, the girl also let go of the hand that was covering the maid, and looked at Yun Zhi who was walking towards her step by step, her face full of confusion and shock.

The person in charge turned out to be a little girl!

As Yun Zhi approached, she slowly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him. She clearly felt that Yun Zhi's pressure was even more terrifying than her father's, even more terrifying than...

Are they really a group of bandits?

Yun Zhi looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. The maid's eyes were red with fear, and she controlled herself not to cry.

"What are your names?"

The girl looked up at her and then immediately lowered her head.

"My name is Qin Wan, and this is my maid, Bai Zhi."

Yun Zhi rubbed her fingers gently, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

pseudonym.

Others might have thought her brief pause was due to nervousness.

However, Yun Zhi noticed her evasive look, the fingers that were hanging below her body that unconsciously bent a few times, and the maid's flash of surprise when she heard the word "Qin Wan".

So, the name is fake.

Why did she use a pseudonym? Perhaps it was because her name was so well-known that a little research would reveal who she was. That's interesting.

"Qin Wan?"

Listening to Yun Zhi calling her name, for a moment she thought Yun Zhi might have noticed something.

But he still said, "Yes."

Yun Zhi no longer worried about whether the name was real or not. She looked at Qin Wan and said, "I think you two witnessed the whole process."

If he came from behind, the sound of his footsteps would definitely be noticed by Yun Zhi and Zhou Yifeng.

Since it was not discovered at that time, there is only one possibility.

The two of them had been here from the beginning, and hid after seeing them approaching.

It was exactly as Yun Zhi thought.

After traveling for several days in a row, Qin Wan was already tired.

When I arrived here last night, I chose this place as a temporary resting place.

Because they were so tired, they woke up when it was already dawn. The master and servant decided to eat some dry food here and then continue walking.

As a result, just after they finished eating the bread and were about to continue their journey, they heard noises coming from outside. The master and servant immediately found a bush to hide in.

She could have avoided it, but the smell was so bad that Baizhi couldn't help wanting to vomit.

Bai Zhi just made a slight sound and was covered up by Qin Wan, but unexpectedly Yun Zhi still noticed it.

Originally, Qin Wan wanted to say that she saw nothing, but she knew that she would not believe it.

Yun Zhi's tone just now was not one of doubt, but of certainty. She was already certain that they had been here all the time.

"We are just ordinary people. We won't tell anyone. We are just passing by and have come to seek refuge with our relatives. Please..."

She was too nervous just now and didn't hear clearly how they called Yunzhi.

She raised her head and looked at Yun Zhi sincerely, "Please let us go."

"Miss Qin, if you encounter this kind of thing, will you let it go?"

of course not.

Qin Wan knelt on the ground as if she had lost all her strength, quietly waiting for Yun Zhi's verdict.

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, Yun Jingxian walked to his side, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and waited for Yun Zhi to say "kill" so that he could draw the sword and deal with them.

Zhou Yifeng looked at Yun Jingxian's actions and his mouth twitched slightly. They had the same parents, so why were their brains so different?

If Yunzhi wanted to kill them, he would kill them as soon as he saw them.

Since this was not done, then these two people are useful.

However, Miss Yun's brother listens to her. Unlike ordinary siblings, he is more like a master and a loyal guard.

He always follows Yun Zhi, and Yun Jingxian does whatever she says.

The brain is not very smart, but it is very useful.

only……

Zhou Yifeng looked at the two women in front of him. What was it about them that aroused Yun Zhi's interest and made her willing to deal with them for so long?

He looked at her for a moment, but couldn't see anything else. Apart from being a little calmer than ordinary people, there was nothing else outstanding about her.

He has seen many people like this in his many years of wandering around the world. If this is not what attracted Yun Zhi, then what could it be?

After looking for a while, Zhou Yifeng couldn't see anything, so he looked away. Forget it, he would know later.

"It's impossible to let you go, but God is merciful and can neither let you go nor kill you. So, Miss Qin, please come with us and keep you under our watch. What do you think, Miss Qin?"

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, Yun Jingxian took his hand off the hilt of the sword and stared at the two people with Yun Zhi.

The villagers behind him naturally followed whatever Yun Zhi said. Now, the small Yunjiazhai in the mountains had long been a place where Yun Zhi had the final say.

Bai Zhi looked at her young lady, waiting for her answer.

Thinking about what her father taught her, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and her life was saved by her father with great difficulty. No one wants to die if they can avoid it.

"Okay, we'll follow you."

Yun Zhi turned around and glanced at the almost burned body. "Then get up and get ready to go."

Bai Zhi glanced at Yun Zhi and timidly helped Qin Wan up.

When the last trace of fire died down, "Let's go."

"Yes, Miss Yun."

Those who were pulling horses pulled horses, those who were taking weapons took weapons, and the group packed up and prepared to go home.

At this time, Qin Wan also heard clearly what they were shouting.

The surname "Yun" is also quite common, and it is not certain who it belongs to.

And the "young lady"? Could she be the daughter of the leader of their bandit village? How could she have such great power?

We'll find out when we get to their base camp.

Qin Wan concealed her expression and could only take things one step at a time.

In this way, Bai Zhi supported Qin Wan and walked in the middle of the team, and the group walked towards the top of the mountain.
