I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

Zhu Luo was so frightened that her soul almost flew away, and her body stiffened.

"Which hero is it? Come out and speak!"

Tieshan's knife slashed across the ground like a sickle reaping wheat, each strike deeply stimulating her.

The mirror seemed to realize its mistake and snuggled into her arms, but it was too late to scold it then.

"I know you're here. Come out, we can talk. If I find you..."

The knife tip grazed past Zhu Luo's ear, and withered grass rustled down, covering her body.

"Ah!" Zhu Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm? A woman?" Tieshan hesitated for a moment, then heard a rustling sound under his knife. When he looked again, the person was gone.

Zhu Luo was clumsy and completely frightened. He lost his footing and tumbled down the slope.

Without having time to think, she instinctively grabbed at her limbs, clinging to anything she could.

Finally, he grabbed a vine and stopped falling.

But finding no foothold, they could only dangle in mid-air.

Although she wasn't heavy, she couldn't withstand being suspended for a long time.

My palms felt like they were being pricked with needles, and my arms were so sore and swollen that I almost lost all feeling in them.

To make matters worse, Tieshan spotted her and was slowly approaching her from above.

She closed her eyes in despair.

There is no way out.

Being captured in the military camp or being stabbed by bandits, either way, you'd die.

It's a pity, the business had just started to take off.

The debts my brother owed were finally settled.

The reward money for Cang Xu and the others hasn't been distributed yet.

Consort Li's jade pendant could not be retrieved either.

Xuanming Sword...

"Miss Shen!"

Xuanming Sword...

"Jump!"

Suddenly, a man's voice called out from the darkness. Zhu Luo snapped back to reality and instinctively clenched her fists.

Was she hallucinating? Someone was talking to her.

And it's not Tieshan.

"It's me, jump!"

Several cold lights flashed before my eyes.

It's a mirror, Xiao Mingyan's mirror.

The iron mountain was already directly above her head, and the wind carried a faint smell of blood.

"Don't be afraid, young lady, I'm here to save you."

Zhu Luo squeezed her eyes shut and screamed as she let go.

In an instant, she was embraced by a strong man.

It turned out that the place where she was stubbornly holding on was only one floor away from the stone platform.

Before she could recover, her waist was suddenly tightened, and she was pulled into a crevice in the mountainside.

"Your Highness, is it really you?"

Zhu Luo stared at his face in disbelief.

The person was absolutely right; no one else had those dark circles under their eyes.

This is more absurd and unreal than a dream.

"You were lying in bed, how could you..."

"Just wait."

Xiao Mingyan didn't have time to explain, because Tieshan had also come down.

Zhu Luo was wrapped in his cloak and couldn't see what was happening outside. She asked the mirror to check, but the mirror refused.

It was surprisingly timid.

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the mountains.

After a while, the surroundings became quiet, and Xiao Mingyan turned back.

Zhu Luo excitedly went to greet him, only to find him covered in blood, holding a severed head in his hand, blood dripping down his face.

A churning sensation ran through Zhu Luo's stomach, and everything went black before her eyes. She knew nothing more.

When Zhu Luo woke up again, she found herself lying in a bumpy carriage.

"Is Miss Shen awake?" The driver was Cang Xu.

"Yes." She tightened her cloak, huddled in a corner of the carriage, and looked around. "Brother Cang, where is the Prince?"

She remembers the last scene when she was conscious, and later, in her hazy state, the bloody head always appeared in her mind's eye, and closing her eyes did nothing.

When she woke up and saw his cloak but he was nowhere to be seen, she couldn't help but worry.

"The prince has led his men to suppress the mountain bandits."

"Mountain bandits?" Zhu Luo was startled: "Iron Wolf Stronghold!"

"Hmph," Cang Xu sneered, "Iron Wolf, besides the Prince's Canglang Army, who else in the world dares to use the name 'wolf,' uh..."

Perhaps realizing he had misspoke, he explained, "This band of bandits has been committing crimes for many years, causing great harm to merchants. In recent years, they have become increasingly brazen and have even extended their reach into the military camp."

Zhu Luo suddenly sat up straight: "Oh right, there's a cook in the kitchen who poisoned the prince."

Cang Xu replied, "Your Highness knows this. Not only that, the cook colluded with mountain bandits to try to sell weapons. By now, the army should have already surrounded the mountain."

knowledge?

Zhu Luo pondered the word, then slumped back against the car wall, her body swaying from the vibrations.

So the one Xiao Mingyan put out must have been the antidote.

The shouts of soldiers could be heard outside the vehicle.

Zhu Luo opened the curtain and saw that the mountaintops not far away were engulfed in flames, and the sounds of soldiers fighting were incessant.

Cang Xu was also watching: "Once the local tyrant is eliminated, the people will surely be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

“Yes, everything is back on track. Your Highness’s actions are truly benevolent,” Zhu Luo said dejectedly, lowering the curtain. “Brother Cang, this road doesn’t lead back to the military camp. Where are we going?”

"His Highness has instructed that Miss Shen rest in Chenjia Town for a while."

"Chenjia Town?" Zhu Luo's heart tightened. "Has Your Highness... heard something?"

That idiot Guo Bin is definitely spouting nonsense in the military camp.

She couldn't think of any other reason to be sent away to stay in town.

"What did you hear?"

"Well... uh, Brother Cang, don't you know? I've heard that some soldiers get drunk at night and cause trouble."

"Oh, yes, we do have that," Cang Xu said, flicking the reins twice in a relaxed tone.

Zhu Luo was not at ease and pressed, "Didn't you cause any major trouble?"

"What could be so serious? It's just a matter of taking a nap, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

Zhu Luo was confused: "Then why are you sending me to Chenjia Town?"

Cang Xu glanced at the carriage curtain without showing any emotion and calmly explained, "Miss Shen, are you afraid that the Prince will blame you for arranging the meals? The military camp is different from other places. Being away from home and eating and sleeping in the open, it is inevitable that there will be some emotional issues after a long time. Miss Shen's food is very delicious. The soldiers have not been this happy in a long time. As for such trivial matters as causing trouble after drinking, Miss Shen does not need to worry about them and should not blame herself."

"As for going to Chenjia Town, His Highness originally wanted to give you a surprise. Since Miss Shen asked, then you can rest assured that someone from the Shen family has come to pick you up and is waiting for you at the restaurant in town."

Zhu Luo was taken aback.

Are people from the Shen family here?

So what should she do?

At the Yingkelai Restaurant in town, the proprietress, with a lamp lit, guided Zhu Luo to the innermost guest room on the second floor.

The person at the door rushed out impatiently, hugged Zhu Luo tightly, and cried tears of joy: "Miss, I'm so glad to see you! Banxia was so scared!"

The little girl would occasionally look up at her, and sometimes she would snuggle on her shoulder and cry.

Cang Xu whispered a reminder: "Please come inside to talk."

The young girl wiped away her tears with self-reproach: "Yes, yes, I was too excited. Please come in, Miss."
