I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"Miss, did you hit your head?" Banxia was a step slower and couldn't help but worry.

Zhu Luo waved her hand: "I didn't bump into anything, it's nothing."

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage has always been an obstacle in her mind, let alone on a mountain road. Just now, that jolt almost made her heart jump out of her chest. Now that the carriage is stable, her heart is still pounding like a drum.

Hu Zi said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the stones on the ground. Is Miss Shen alright?"

"It's alright, the mountain road is difficult to travel, Tiger, be careful too."

"Yes, I know this place well. I'll be careful. There are also our brothers patrolling the area. Miss Shen, please don't worry."

Zhu Luo was still somewhat uneasy.

Perhaps it was getting dark.

There used to be a kind old lady next door who would often scare children by saying that if they went into the mountains at night, they would be eaten by monsters.

When she grew up, she realized that the old lady simply wanted to raise everyone's awareness of safety.

But being there in person, the overwhelming feeling of the mountains still reminded her of stories from her childhood.

"Banxia, ​​do you know where His Highness the Crown Prince went? We haven't heard from him since the ceremony last night," Zhu Luo asked in a low voice.

Banxia was taken aback: "Why did you bring this up, Miss?"

“It just came to mind suddenly,” Zhu Luo analyzed. “Think about it, the person I found last night was a waiter at Lin Yue Pavilion, and the Crown Prince had given Lin Yue Pavilion a plaque.”

"Miss, you wouldn't happen to be..."

Zhu Luo quickly covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly: "It's just a guess. We hadn't heard from him for so long before we went into the mountains, so naturally we common folk aren't qualified to know his whereabouts, but..."

The night before, Xiao Jingchi had warmly called her "Luo Luo".

Banxia shook her head awkwardly: "This servant doesn't know either."

Zhu Luo patted her shoulder: "It's okay. Look at it from another angle. He never cared about me at all. Maybe he already has someone else in his heart."

Banxia was even more worried: "If we don't choose you, are we really going to choose the Second Miss?"

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, a faint whistling sound pierced the air and gradually drew closer.

That wasn't the sound of birds chirping.

While Zhu Luo was still making her judgment, she suddenly heard Hu Zi shout, "Miss Shen, lie down!"

Before she could even think, Zhu Luo pressed Banxia's head down with hers.

Almost instantly, a cold arrow pierced through the carriage wall and embedded itself in the wooden plank behind them with a resounding clang.

Zhu Luo felt a cold sweat run down his back, and then all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

They were attacked.

Tiger pulled back the curtain and shouted, "Miss Shen!"

"I'm fine!" Zhu Luo quickly reassured him.

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from both sides of the car.

Tiger extended his hand: "Miss Shen, please come with me."

The carriage was now their target; they had to find a place to hide temporarily.

A fierce battle broke out beside the car. Zhu Luo hadn't expected that there would be five or six men in black attacking them.

"Miss Shen, don't worry, they are the Prince's Canglang Army, they will be fine."

"Miss!" Banxia was too frightened to speak.

"It's alright, let's hide first, then we can leave." Zhu Luo patted his pockets, intending to find something in the mirror for self-defense, but suddenly touched a cold dagger.

That was left to her by Xiao Mingyan.

Without thinking twice, she gripped the dagger, dragged Banxia along, and ran after Hu Zi.

Cold arrows whistled past her from time to time; it seemed these people didn't want to leave her alive and wanted her dead.

Zhu Luo's mind raced, but she still couldn't figure out who wanted to kill her.

"This is it, Miss Shen, please don't come out, I'll be right back!"

A dry haystack is a good hiding place.

"Wait!" Zhu Luo called out to him.

"Miss Shen?"

"Be careful, don't try to fight it head-on, try to dodge if you can!"

He was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Tiger grinned and said, "I know."

With eyes as bright as stars on his dark face, Zhu Luo waved his hand and disappeared into the hay.

The sounds of clashing swords filled the air. Banxia held her tightly, clearly terrified.

A gust of wind blew by, and the rocks, carrying wild fruits, rolled into the haystack. Banxia cried out in surprise; they had been discovered.

Zhu Luo was wrong; there were more than five or six people attacking them.

She and Banxia were gagged and watched helplessly as Hu Zi and the others continued their fierce battle. The next moment, they were put in sacks and carried away.

In a dimly lit cellar, Zhu Luo and Ban Xia were finally freed from their restraints, but the danger had only just begun.

A group of men were eyeing them menacingly. The leader was a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch. Judging from their attire, it was easy to guess that they were remnants of the bandits.

The mirror's answer confirmed her guess.

The person Xiao Mingyan wanted to capture was actually hiding in this cave.

The walls are smooth, the furniture is complete, and it's no different from a normal side room. It must have taken three to five years to renovate it to this scale.

One of the men chuckled and said jokingly, "Third Brother, I want this one. It looks too heavy. That one is too tough."

Zhu Luo's eyes widened.

They actually called her a chai barbarian!

Banxia was so frightened that she hid in Zhu Luo's arms and began to sob softly.

Zhu Luo hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

She had thought it through; there must be a way to save her life. Her worst-case scenario was to pull some real weapons out of the mirror.

But before that, what she wanted to know most was why they had kidnapped her.

“You won’t get any of them,” the one-eyed man said. “They are very useful.”

Zhu Luo cleared his throat, looked around, and then mustered his courage to ask, "May I ask who you are and why you want to hijack our car? It can't be for those baskets of wild fruit, can it?"

The bandits were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Third Brother, that woman said we want to eat fruit!"

"Hahaha, look at you, you little rascal, but you've got a good tongue. I'll eat you, how about it? Ouch--" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly squatted down, clutching his head. "Damn it, who hit me on the head!"

He moved his hand away, and there was a bloody bulge on his forehead, from which blood was gushing out.

Zhu Luo secretly gave herself a thumbs up in the mirror.

The stone was the one that had caused her to jolt along the road. She had asked the mirror to be put away, intending to study it, but now it had a better use.

People around quickly moved aside, afraid of being misunderstood.

"Could it be that the stone has cracked? Look, there are stones on the ground."

"It hasn't cracked in eight hundred years? You're kidding me!"

The one-eyed man stared at the girl on the ground, his brows furrowed, and growled, "What's all the noise about? If she's injured, get her treated. Don't let this interfere with our business!"

Seeing that the third leader was angry, the people around stopped making a fuss.

The bandit with the broken head tore open a corner of his clothes and casually tied it around his forehead.

Zhu Luo scoffed inwardly, "Serves you right for being such a chatterbox."

The one-eyed man continued, "Shen Zhuluo, is it? Heh, Miss Shen is very clever; she should know who we are not difficult to understand. Since that's the case, let's be frank. It was you who betrayed us, causing our eldest brother's tragic death and the entire village to disappear overnight, as well as my second brother..."

He paused, seemingly lost in some immense pain, then suddenly widened his single eye and roared, "Shen Zhuluo, you are a sinner of our Iron Wolf Stronghold! We will sacrifice you to our fallen brothers!"
