Noble Lady

After the greetings, while Cai Jinxue went to pack up his things, Xue Chenyu also asked Mr. Xie about how Cai Jinxue fell into his hands.

Mr. Xie looks young, but he speaks concisely and to the point.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in two sentences: "I picked it up on the roadside when I went to the northern border to collect a special herb. I found out that he was of high status, so I brought him back."

"Then I sent a letter to that brat."

The brat Mr. Xie was referring to was undoubtedly Situ Zhen.

Xue Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief and "shamelessly" asked Mr. Xie about the route to collect herbs.

When Cai Jinxue wrote to Mr. Lu, he was already prepared to fight Han Hongyue to the death.

At that time, Mr. Xie was able to "accidentally" pick up Magistrate Cai from the northern border, which means that he had an unknown route to take.

If that route could be utilized, it would undoubtedly be a way to survive.

Mr. Xie did not hide this.

After Xue Chenyu asked, he handed over the route map he had drawn on sheepskin.

However, he warned with concern, "That road is rocky and steep, not suitable for ordinary people. I hope you will think twice before going."

"I know, thank you sir for giving me this chance to live!"

Xue Chenyu knew how difficult the road was just by looking at the route he drew.

But at this time, one more road means one more chance of life.

She couldn't leave, but someone else could.

If ordinary people can't do it, then they will spend a high price to find those skilled and courageous people.

As long as we can deliver supplies such as food and medicine, or even bring people out, it will be a success.

after that.

Cai Jinxue disguised himself slightly and got into the carriage of Xue Chenyu and the others.

At first, Lord Cai was still resistant.

But Xue Chenyu's words made him compromise, "Sir Cai, in your heart, which is more important, the people of Daling County, or your own reputation?"

"Of course the people of the county are more important. How can a mere Cai be so insignificant?!"

Xue Chenyu said, "That's also true for me."

"My father's life is important, and so are the lives of everyone in the Wu'an Marquis's mansion, young and old. If my reputation alone can buy the safety of others, I have nothing to fear."

Cai Jinxue was in a trance for a moment, then it was as if he had been enlightened. "Listening to Miss Xue's words today is like reading ten years of books."

"Ms. Xue is just a teenager. She is willing to put aside her own gains and losses for the sake of her family and friends. Could it be that a seven-foot-tall man like Cai is inferior to a child like her?"

After that, he accepted the arrangement.

Xue Chenyu and his party rested in "Guilai Town" for one night and set off again the next day.

However, what made Mr. Cai Jinxue easier to accept was that

Xue Chenyu was not alone in the car with him. Xue Luoyan and Weng Xuemei were also in the car.

Lord Cai also comforted himself: I am old enough to be the father of these three children.

but.

Mr. Xie gave another warning before leaving, "I'm afraid you were already being targeted when you left Shengjing. Bringing him back this time won't be a smooth journey."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. However, I will escort Master Cai to the capital safely. No matter the cost."

Xue Chenyu naturally knew that it was not easy to send people to Shengjing, so she had already thought of a countermeasure.

Seeing that she was confident, Mr. Xie stopped trying to persuade her.

After leaving "Guilai Town", Yuzhu and Qiuhua, who were waiting outside the town, came to meet them.

With so many people, naturally one carriage couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to sit separately.

However, ever since they left "Guilai Town", assassinations along the way have never stopped.

In just less than two days' journey, there were countless attacks.

At first, he shot an arrow and then hijacked the carriage, but because he hijacked the carriage where Xue Chenyu was, he was kicked away by the second girl Xue who had extremely high fighting power;

Then they encountered some obstacles along the way. People in every inn they passed by tampered with the food. When they found out something was wrong, they immediately left.

The gang originally thought that they could be done with it by trapping the girls in the inn, but they had no idea that there were two hidden coachmen outside.

Along the way, they avoided all attacks and hidden arrows.

The assassination near Shengjing was the most brutal. In broad daylight, masked men in black came to rob people.

In the carriage, Miss Xue Er's silver spear was eager to test, and it flew out of the carriage like a stone shot from a slingshot.

Shoot one by one, without mercy.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Xue Chenyu was afraid that if she killed too many people, she would suffer from psychological trauma when she grew up.

He quickly asked Qiuhua to follow behind and watch.

The masked men in black came with great force. There were about twenty or thirty of them, all of them were well-trained and did not look like ordinary people at all.

Following a whistle, a large group of people carrying the flag of the Wuwei Escort Agency arrived and surrounded the two carriages.

The masked men in black saw that they could not take the city after a long attack and the situation was getting bad. They thought it would be disadvantageous for them to continue the fight for too long, so they fled.

They come and go quickly.

Again, they are all well-trained people.

Xue Chenyu looked at the fleeing men in black and felt that he had seen their moves somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

"Sister, they are running too fast." Luo Luo saw that she had lost her target and ran back.

Xue Chenyu finally came to his senses and helped Yuzhu get off the carriage.

"Ms. Xue, long time no see." Escort Captain Yao came over with his brothers from the escort agency and greeted them politely.

Ever since Yao Biaotou led his men to escort Miss Xue back from the south, everyone wanted to follow him.

He even dreamed of protecting the Datong Trading Company.

This business not only treats people well, but also clearly defines rewards and punishments. As long as you do a good job, you will be rewarded.

There were also injured brothers heading south, but the subsidized medical expenses alone were quite a lot.

Who wouldn't risk their life to earn this kind of money to work for an escort agency? It would take years to come across such a generous customer.

Xue Chenyu nodded and smiled, "Captain Yao, long time no see. How are you all doing?"

"We are all fine. We just didn't expect that Miss Xue could bring big business to our escort agency even if she didn't protect the caravan." Escort Leader Yao said half-jokingly.

Xue Chenyu could only give a wry smile, "I'll have to thank Yao Biaotou and the brothers for their hard work on this trip."

"Miss Xue, you're too polite."

Yao Biaotou exchanged greetings with them for a moment, then mounted his horses with his men and escorted the two carriages back to the capital.

It’s less than half a day’s journey from here to Beijing.

But every step is fraught with danger.

So Xue Chenyu was extremely cautious.

Nanping Gate.

As expected, their team was stopped at the city gate.

"Who is in the carriage? Does he have any official credentials?"

"I've only been out of the capital for two or three days, and I didn't know that I need a pass to come back after burning incense?" A clear female voice came from the carriage.

Afterwards, the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw a slim woman wearing a veil, getting off the carriage with the help of a maid.

"Didn't you see the big emblem on our carriage, or did you deliberately stop it because you saw the emblem of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion?"

She held her head high and chest out, and although she was wearing a veil, she had an indescribable nobleness that made people dare not look directly at her.
