The geographical conditions of Yueheng County are very strange. Other places are mostly plains, and the highest mountain does not exceed 100 meters.

But there are mostly stones here, all kinds of strange shapes, especially on the road they are walking on.

There is barely enough space in the middle for two people to walk side by side. There are some stones, big and small, standing on both sides, which looks strangely beautiful.

County Magistrate Chen had no idea whether it was beautiful or not. He knew this location. Few people came here, and there were too many stones nearby.

Any one of them could probably kill someone. If someone wanted to harm someone, this would be the best place to do it.

He swallowed, and despite the relatively cool weather, a cold sweat broke out on his back. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Although he was afraid of death, it was precisely because of this that he was able to survive until now.

I haven’t seen many county magistrates in other places being replaced several times, but he has survived from the time he took office to the present day, all thanks to his ability to understand current affairs.

But why did he feel that this road was a trap? Combined with what they said before, could there be something wrong with this child?

For a moment, it seemed that his hands began to feel heavy.

Xu Qing followed Sheng Changan carefully. If something really happened, they would definitely save the adults first, so this position must be the safest.

Sheng Changan looked calm, not worried at all. She simply had confidence in her own people, and she believed that Su wanted to capture her alive that day, so even if he wanted to kill her, he would not do it now.

Xiaoying took a deep breath. Now she had to find a way to disperse the people. She rolled her eyes and bit her lip and said, "Master...Master, my stomach hurts."

"Can you let this lady take me there?" She looked pitiful, with a blush on her face, as if she was embarrassed.

As for why she called Li Hui, of course it was because she knew this person was there. She would never let Sheng Changan get close to her, and she looked like the most powerful person here.

Sheng Changan's eyes moved slightly. "Then let her take you there."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Chen couldn't wait to put the person down. His palms were slightly sweaty, but he carried the person for a distance. The road here was difficult to walk on, so the carriage had to be parked outside.

So Xiaoying didn't doubt him, but just thought that this person was not very useful.

Xu Qing seemed to realize something and moved closer to Sheng Changan. "Sir, you must protect me. There are not many people in the world who are willing to take the blame for you like me."

Sheng Changan said with some disdain, "I think the farther away you are from me, the safer you will be."

Xu Qing looked unconvinced.

County Magistrate Chen seemed to realize something and quietly moved closer to Sheng Changan.

Sheng Changan raised her eyes, not wanting to bother with the pair. The people around her weren't the safest, to be more precise, they were the most dangerous.

"Help... Is there anyone..."

It sounded like an older person calling for help, and as soon as the sound was heard, someone went to check.

Sheng Changan also slowly walked towards the source of the sound. An old man's legs were trapped under a rock. He was lying on the ground. His exposed skin was dark and the wrinkles on his face did not look fake.

Several soldiers worked together to move the stone away. They also had some knowledge of medicine, so they squatted down to check the old man's broken leg. One of them nodded silently to Sheng Changan.

It seemed that this was not a disguise. Sheng Changan then approached and squatted down. "Old man, why are you here?"
