Su Yue opened the door and saw Liu Yixiu and Xiaofan guarding the door.

Liu Yixiao's expression was solemn: "I'll go out and check the situation. Let my followers and Xiaofan protect you."

Xiao Fan immediately shook his head: "I'll go"

Liu Yixiao was about to retort when Su Yue spoke up: "Liu Yixiao, let Xiaofan go."

After hearing this, Liu Yixiao nodded.

Xiao Fan glanced at them, then opened the door and walked out without hesitation.

The situation outside has been brought under control, and those who were causing trouble have been firmly controlled by Xiaofan's men.

Xiao Fan walked aside and one of his subordinates immediately came forward to report.

It turned out that since the villagers learned that there were more and more horse-drawn carriages passing by in the past two days due to mudslides, they gathered together to discuss the situation after understanding the situation.

At first, I just wanted to ask for a little more money by letting others stay overnight, thinking that most people would not refuse.

But as they saw more and more people wearing fancy clothes and living a life of luxury, it formed a sharp contrast with their own poor and hard life, which was a complete polarization.

The passing guests even disliked the simplicity of their houses and the coarseness of the food they prepared.

This huge gap gradually exacerbated the imbalance in their hearts.

The villagers gathered together and began to discuss. They all said that if they missed this opportunity, they might never encounter such a good opportunity to make money again in the future.

Living in this place where there is no village or shop nearby, life is hard and they have long wanted to move away.

So after some discussion, the villagers decided to do something big tonight. They would keep as many convoys as possible, drug them, and then take away all their property.

In this way, everyone will share what they get equally, and then the entire village will move away and start a new life somewhere else.

There are only about a hundred people in this village, including many elderly, children, women and children, so the village's strength is really limited.

Just as they were about to take action, they were discovered by Xiaofan's men and quickly taken under control.

These villagers confessed their entire plan without any trickery, claiming that they were really just looking for wealth and had never intended to kill anyone.

But the situation tonight is more complicated than expected, there are actually two waves of forces.

At first, Xiaofan's people thought that the other party was in the same group as these villagers, and the two sides almost fought.

Fortunately, after timely communication, we realized that the other party had no ill intentions. So after we worked together to control these villagers, that group of people retreated.

When Xiao Fan heard this, he probably understood in his heart that if he guessed correctly, that group of people should have been arranged by Liu Yixiu.

It seems that Liu Yixiao really wants to escort them and ensure their safety.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's expression eased a little, and he turned around and prepared to go back to report the situation to Su Yue.

After Xiao Fan returned, he looked at everyone's expectant gazes and explained the situation to them in the simplest terms possible: "The villagers were seeking wealth, but they've been brought under control. Everything is fine."

When they heard that they were just asking for money, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as you are seeking wealth, everything else is easy to deal with. After all, money is something outside of your body, and life safety is the most important thing.

After understanding what happened, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Su Yue came to Xiaofan and smiled: "Xiaofan, this time thanks to you, you reacted quickly and handled it properly, you are really amazing."

Xiao Fan still pretended to be indifferent, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

He had done a lot of good things in the past, but this was the first time he was praised so directly, which made him feel embarrassed.

Su Yue then made a suggestion: "Send someone to report to the authorities tomorrow and let them handle this matter. We haven't suffered any harm, so we can continue our journey as usual tomorrow morning."

Xiaofan nodded in agreement.

After explaining everything, Su Yue looked at everyone's slightly tired faces and said, "Okay, we can finally have a good rest. Let's all go back to our rooms and rest."

Everyone responded and went back to their rooms.

Su Yue also turned and walked into the room, lay on the bed, thinking about the twists and turns of the day, and fell asleep in a short while.

The others were also in their respective rooms and soon fell asleep, and the whole house returned to peace.

They got up early at daybreak.

In order to avoid traveling with a large number of people, after all, there are often more conflicts where there are many people, Su Yue really doesn't want to get entangled too much with others.

They hurried to the carriage, only to find that everything inside was in a mess.

When others saw this scene, they felt nervous and thought that something was lost.

Seeing this, Su Yue gave them a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I have put away all the important things in advance."

After hearing this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

After everything was ready, they set out on their journey.

The carriage sped along the road, raising a cloud of dust. About an hour after they set off, those who had been knocked unconscious the previous night began to wake up one after another.

They were still a little confused when they first woke up, and they couldn't react for a while when they saw the officers and soldiers.

After some inquiries, they found out that the people in this village had bad intentions and wanted to knock them out and steal their money.

But before these villagers could make any move, they were controlled by a group of mysterious gangsters.

After learning the truth, everyone couldn't help but feel lucky to have escaped.

They all went to claim their lost items, and then began to set off one after another, all wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, for fear that something else might happen.

After leaving that troubled place, they traveled on the road for three consecutive days without any trouble.

The closer you get to the capital, the more complicated the conditions on the road become.

In the carriage, Su Yue and his friends found that there were more and more carriages on the road, coming and going in an endless stream.

Slowly, the speed of the carriage slowed down, almost stopping and starting.

Moreover, there were so many convoys transporting goods, one after another, that they took up most of the road, which was already narrow. The road was also narrow, so their carriages could only follow behind these convoys helplessly.

When there is a suitable opportunity, the coachman will whip the team quickly and try to overtake the team in front.

But when there is no opportunity, you can only follow obediently and dare not act rashly.

Shangguan Haochen was an impatient person. Whenever he saw the carriage stopped moving, he would become very irritated. He would fidget in the carriage and mutter to himself.

Seeing this, Su Yue could only comfort him: "Achen, be patient and pay attention to the baby in your belly."

When it comes to the baby, Shangguan Haochen seemed to have pressed the pause button. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

In fact, Su Yue was also very annoyed. According to the current situation, they would have to stay on the road for several more days.

They were already feeling unwell because of their pregnancy, and with the constant stopping and starting, they became even more irritable.

But there is no good way, I can only be patient and hope that the road conditions will improve soon.
