My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

With her bow and arrows on her back, Ji Yunshuang darted through the forest like an agile leopard.

Soon, she arrived at the place Lu Wuzheng had described.

At a glance, she recognized him as the guard who had accompanied Master Huang that day.

The guards also spotted her around the same time.

One of the guards beamed with delight and said to his companion, "Captain Chen guessed right. That woman did indeed abandon the carriage and take the mountain road. Quickly inform Captain Chen."

His bodyguard immediately pulled out a signal flare, but before he could pull the pin, Ji Yunshuang's arrow had already arrived.

An ordinary bamboo arrow, yet carrying the force to shatter ten thousand armies, pierced through the man's chest and embedded itself straight into the tree trunk behind him.

The other guard, whose face was beaming with joy, belatedly realized the terror of this god of death.

He turned and ran.

But how could Ji Yunshuang let him get away?

The man felt that her figure was like a ghost, and she was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me!"

Ji Yunshuang held a dagger to his neck and said, "What do you want with me?"

"No... I wasn't looking for you..." the man tried to cover up, but the dagger pressed against his neck tightened instantly.

Feeling the pain in his neck, the man dared not lie any longer. "It was the young master, the young master sent us to find you."

Ji Yunshuang said in an icy voice, "What does your young master want with me?"

The man said, trembling, "He said he lost something, so he told us to find you."

What's missing?

"I don't know either!" The man was sweating profusely, his eyes darting around, looking for the right opportunity to escape.

But when she realized there was no way to escape, she could only cry and beg, "I was just ordered to find someone, please, let me go! I really don't know anything."

"Wait, answer my questions first: How many people came in total? Where are they?"

"Not many, just the six of us. We split into three groups and went our separate ways. The other two groups are definitely on other hilltops."

"I don't believe it," Ji Yunshuang said. "If it's something so important, why would your young master only send six of you? Is your Huang family out of people?"

"It's true. The Huang family can't spare many people right now; the others have to escort the luggage at the front."

What the man didn't say was that although he only sent six people, these six were the elite of the team, all sent by the young master to carry out important missions.

But this group of people, whom the young master regarded as elites, are now being utterly defeated by a woman.

The man, no longer caring about losing face, cried out again, begging for mercy: "Great hero, please let me go! I promise I won't say a word when I get back."

“I only believe that the dead can keep secrets.” Ji Yunshuang snapped his neck expressionlessly.

There was no suitable place nearby to dispose of the body, so she temporarily stored it in her spatial storage and wiped away any traces on the ground.

The area was all mountains, so she didn't go looking for the others for the time being. Instead, she put away her dagger, slung her bow and arrows over her shoulder, and headed back.

Just as they reached the entrance of the cave, they saw Lu Yinheng come out from inside.

Seeing that he was alone, Ji Yunshuang spoke first and asked, "Where are the others?"

“I let them go first.” Lu Yinheng looked her over for a moment, and finally said, “Let’s go, let’s hurry and catch up with them! If we’re late, Zhuzhu will cry.”

After saying that, he picked up a few crudely made torches and turned to walk deeper into the cave.

As Ji Yunshuang walked, she looked around the cave.

At first it was fine, but the further he went in, the more complex the cave's terrain became. And there was no light in the cave, but his steps were not hindered.

Clearly, he was very familiar with the cave.

Ji Yunshuang couldn't help but wonder if he had familiarized himself with the cave beforehand.

But with such a complex terrain in the cave, it must have taken quite a while to become familiar with it!

What's more, he was injured.

Although she had doubts, she did not ask any further questions.

On the first day after fleeing to the cave, Lu Yinheng was almost unconscious. Although he woke up later, he was still seriously injured and had no energy to explore the cave.

His familiarity with the cave was all thanks to his past life.

At that time, he led a group of men to fight against the Qi army. The Qi army was strong and powerful, but his men were almost all refugees who had fled. They not only had little formal combat experience, but they also lacked food and weapons.

At that time, they were almost driven to the brink of despair by the Qi army.

Later, remembering that he had passed through a cave during his escape, he led his men to hide inside the cave.

It was this cave that allowed them to survive.

While exploring the cave, he unexpectedly discovered that the cave led to Linjiang County.

Using this secret, he turned the tide of the battle, ultimately defeating the Qi army and reclaiming the lost city.

The journey from Linjiang County to Jiangzhou is about half as long.

He had always planned to take the shortcut through the cave, so after waking up, he didn't rush on his way. Instead, he planned to stay put to recover and regain his strength before continuing his journey.

Although the time has changed slightly from his original plan, leaving a little earlier is not out of the question.

The journey to Linjiang County via the mountain cave is not short.

Therefore, when Lu Yinheng led the way, he only stopped everyone at one of the hidden streams to rest, waiting for him to go back and pick up Ji Yunshuang to join them.

The dark, unlit cave, filled with the rustling sounds of some unknown animal, amplified people's fear.

The Lu family was very dissatisfied with Lu Yinheng's behavior. Madam Ma kept muttering, "Why hasn't he come yet? Are we going to keep waiting like this?"

Lu Bingchun snorted, "If you ask me, why bother with that Ji family? That fickle woman, who knows who she's messing around with outside?"

Lu Yunzhu had been trying to keep her eyes wide open, staring in the direction her father had left. But when she heard Lu Bingchun's words, she rushed over and bit his arm.

"You little brat, what are you doing?" Lu Bingchun was furious and raised his hand to hit Lu Yunzhu, but was stopped by Lu Wuzheng. At the same time, Lu Yanqi also rushed over to prevent him from being violent towards his sister.

As Lu Wuzheng pulled Lu Yuzhu into his arms, he said, "Uncle, it's not right for you to argue with a child! Besides, it was your foul mouth that spoke ill of my sister-in-law first, so it's no wonder my little niece bit you."

Lu Yuzhu glared at him and said, "You're not allowed to talk about my mother like that!"

Lu Bingchun retorted, "Your mother was always—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yanqi slammed a stone into his foot.

"what!"

Lu Bingchun jumped up and covered his foot, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

"You bastard, I'll kill you!" Seeing his father injured, Lu Xuewen grabbed Lu Yanqi and was about to attack.

Lu Xumu grabbed Lu Tianhu and said, "If you dare to touch a single hair on my nephew's head, I will kill him today."

Lu Tianhu trembled with fear and cried out, "Father, Father, please save me!"

While Lu Tianhu was crying out, Lu Yanqi seized the opportunity to attack Lu Xuewen's crotch. Taking advantage of Lu Xuewen's pain, he broke free from him.

Lu Xuewen clutched his groin in pain. Looking at the other man's son, who was even younger than his own, he calmly tried to find a solution, while his own son could only cry and wait for him to save him. He almost vomited blood and fainted.

Seeing Lu Xuewen clutching his crotch in pain, unable to utter a single word, Lu Bingchun immediately disregarded his own condition and rushed to check on his son's injury.

Liu wanted to curse loudly, but because her grandson was in someone else's hands, she dared not utter those dirty words.

However, seeing that his nephew was unharmed, Lu Xumu disdained to lay a hand on a child.

He shoved Lu Tianhu aside, shielding his nephew and niece behind him, and said, "If you think my brother and sister-in-law are wasting time, you can go first, and then we'll go our separate ways. We won't say another word, but if you dare to insult my sister-in-law again, then I'll turn against my own family."

Lu Wuzheng also said, "My third brother is right. If you think waiting for my brother and sister-in-law is taking up too much time, then you can go your own way. But our family will stand together through thick and thin, even if it means death. We will not move forward today until we see my brother and sister-in-law."

He said this not only to Lu Bingchun's family, but also to the villagers who were fleeing together.

Aunt Zhou spoke first: "Dalang's wife is the one who ended up in the end because of all of us. It would be too heartless of us to abandon her and run away now! You can go if you want, but I, this old woman, will not be a heartless wretch."

Several other families echoed this sentiment, accusing Lu Bingchun's family of being despicable.

Some even bluntly suggested that they should break up the partnership and let Lu Bingchun's family leave as soon as possible, instead of fleeing with them.

“We traveled together in the hope that we could help each other and get through the difficulties together. But look at your family. Every time we encounter danger, you only care about yourselves. We dare not travel with a family like yours.”

"That's right, Dalang's wife went out to scout things out for all of us. Instead of being grateful, you're spewing filth and slander on her,"

……

Lu Bingchun's family was furious, but no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to leave first.

They were just complaining that Lu Yinheng hadn't led them out of the cave first, which wasted their time.

But they knew perfectly well that without Lu Yinheng leading the way, they might not be able to get out at all.
