Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 218

She cursed Shen Lingjun a thousand times over in her heart, but she had to go with Qin Shaoze to the army at this time, forcing her to go as well.

The group checked into the inn.

Although Yao Sujuan was not born into a wealthy or noble family, but was merely a concubine's daughter, she still enjoyed a comfortable life. It was her first time staying in such a simple inn, and she was very uncomfortable. She felt restless and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep on the hard bed.

I barely managed to fall asleep in the middle of the night, only to have to get up early the next morning to catch up on my schedule.

Shen Lingjun looked at Yao Sujuan's large dark circles and pale face, and secretly found it amusing.

After suffering all this way to the Northwest, I wonder if Yao Sujuan still thinks Qin Shaoze is that important.

The group continued their journey. Today they were some distance from the capital. The official road conditions were getting worse and worse, the ride was becoming increasingly bumpy, and the scenery along the roadside was gradually becoming desolate.

There are no inns to stay at today. If we don't want to sleep outdoors, we'll have to travel a bit further after dark to reach the next town, where we can at least find lodging.

Just as darkness fell, the caravan arrived at a narrow, deserted road.

The sight of this place made one feel uneasy. Qin Shaoze wanted to speed up and get to the village as soon as possible, but hearing Yao Sujuan vomiting loudly from the carriage behind him, he had no choice but to give up. Yao Sujuan simply couldn't stand the bumpy ride.

Just as he was feeling anxious, suddenly, a large group of people appeared in the darkness ahead!

The other side were all dressed in black, their faces covered with black cloth, riding tall horses, and holding gleaming broadswords. They looked menacing and clearly had ill intentions!

"They're bandits!" Qin Shaoze exclaimed in alarm. "Protect Madam!"

The four guards drew their swords in unison, ready to fight. Qin Shaoze also subconsciously drew his sword from his waist, intending to be the first to rush forward, but then he remembered that he no longer had any martial arts skills!

He paused for a moment, watching as the opposing force charged forward with unstoppable momentum. He hurriedly reined in his horse and hid behind one of his personal guards.

There's no way around it; given his current condition, charging in would definitely mean certain death!

Fortunately, no one noticed his reaction. The bandits rushed over, slashing wildly with their knives, instantly scattering the convoy!

The frightened horses neighed and pulled the carriage, crashing and lurching in all directions.

Inside the carriage, Shen Lingjun lifted the curtain and saw a scene of chaos outside. A figure brandishing a long sword charged towards them on horseback. The horses in her carriage were also startled and began to gallop wildly, nearly throwing Shen Lingjun against the carriage wall.

Red Dragonfly rushed out, where the sounds of fierce fighting and flashing swords filled the air.

The horses were still galloping wildly, pulling Shen Lingjun's carriage. The coachman couldn't stop them at all, and she was being tossed around inside, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

A series of rapid hoofbeats came from outside, as if someone on horseback had caught up with the carriage. Suddenly, Shen Lingjun felt a force come at her and she was pulled out of the carriage!

The next second, she landed on the back of a galloping horse, and the person sitting behind her held her tightly in his arms.

A familiar voice came from beside her ear.

"Look how beautiful you are, madam. How about you come back with me and become my wife?"
