"The Prime Minister's family has a treasure that I've taken a fancy to," Qiao Ran shamelessly said. "If I've taken a fancy to it, it has to be mine. But the capital is too far away and I'm too lazy to go. It's the same if the Prime Minister sends it to me."

Qin Huai: “…”

What an arrogant tone!

The brothers behind blew their whistles, "Boss, they're here."

The prime minister's daughter doesn't take the official road. I heard that the prime minister has already returned to the capital after paying respects to his ancestors. This young lady is probably late and took the back roads of her hometown to make her way back.

Qin Huai glanced at her and asked curiously, "Why is the Prime Minister's daughter traveling with only a few people?"

There were only five people in the group, but Qiao Ran had invited twenty brothers from the village.

"What should we do?" Qin Huai turned his head and froze.

Seeing that Qiao Ran had taken off her hat at some point, and was now completely naked except for her face, which was deliberately half-covered, she was standing in the middle of the road with her hands on her hips.

Qin Huai's head started to ache. He twitched his lips and asked, "What are you doing?"

If it's your first time stealing a live animal, shouldn't you quickly discuss how to proceed?

Qiao Ran coughed and cleared her throat. "Everyone, please shout out our slogan."

Qin Huai: “…”

As the group watched the Prime Minister's daughter's carriage approach, before they could react, Qiao Ran suddenly let out a loud wail.

"This road is opened by me!"

"I planted this tree!"

"If you want to get through this road!"

"Leave the little beauty behind~"

The brothers: "..."

After years of stealing, this is the first time I've felt so ashamed.

Qin Huai was afraid that the other party would hurt Qiao Ran, so he quickly stood next to her. It was so embarrassing that he covered his face completely.

The other carriage was clearly taken aback for a moment, then stopped a short distance away. Someone said something through the carriage window and looked like they were about to turn around.

Qiao Ran suddenly shouted, "Stop them! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Qin Huai sighed helplessly, "Shut up!"

Despite his words, Qiao Ran gave the order and his men rushed out. The enemy had clearly not expected to encounter thieves on their old ancestral home. They had few men and were captured before they could call for help. Even the two capable fighters couldn't withstand the superior numbers of Qiao Ran's men.

"Gag him, what are you yelling about?" Qiao Ran ordered, covered in cold sweat, and ran over panting, "Got it."

This went much more smoothly than expected. It seems that God was on her side, and she did a good job on her last job in Sichuan.

Qin Huai had his men tie up the coachman and his men in no time. He felt uneasy about the unsafe road and told his men to knock them out and leave quickly.

Turning around, Qiao Ran had already stepped into the Prime Minister's carriage with a timely and dashing posture. He opened the carriage door with a playful smile and called out in a hearty manner, "Beauty."

Qin Huai wanted to turn around and leave.

Qiao Ran lifted the carriage curtain, intending to ease the atmosphere after startling the young lady, but when she peered inside in the last bit of evening light, she was immediately stunned.

A pair of beautiful, affectionate eyes stared at her intently, seemingly smiling.

"Damn!" Qiao Ran swallowed hard. "So beautiful."

This was a good deal.

The person inside remained motionless. That face was eight times more beautiful than Qiao Ran's, practically a masterpiece by Nuwa, so beautiful that it was impossible to tell whether someone was male or female. Qiao Ran couldn't even concentrate on what color brocade the person inside was wearing.

It seemed someone was coming. Qin Huai pulled Qiao Ran, who was stunned, from behind and said anxiously, "Let's go."

Qiao Ran realized what was happening and reached out to pull the person inside the carriage, thinking the girl was terrified. She pulled her away easily, and in her panic, the girl was indeed pulled off the carriage.

Qiao Ran only realized something was wrong later, but she didn't pay attention to it at first.

She could faintly hear shouts in the distance. She told everyone to retreat quickly, afraid that the young lady would make a ruckus. She turned around to shut the person's mouth, but after seeing the "beauty" in its entirety from head to toe, she realized that something was wrong.

No wonder Qin Huai's mouth was agape like an egg.

Suddenly, the "beauty's" hand broke free from Qiao Ran and pressed down on her neck. Qiao Ran was still in shock and instinctively kicked out hard without thinking.

Unexpectedly, the "beauty" was so frail that she collapsed to the ground, her face turning deathly pale.

Qiao Ran gasped for breath, incredulously exclaiming, "It's a man?!"

Qin Huai realized, "Did you rob the wrong person?"

"I don't know." Qiao Ran was also confused.

Whose mother looks so alluring?

"Never mind, we're already in trouble." Qin Huai urged Qiao Ran to leave, bent down and slung the "beauty" who couldn't get up for a while onto his back, and said in a deep voice, "The commotion from those chasing us is quite large, let's retreat first."

The two switched to a vehicle and drove around the mountains of Sichuan seven or eight times in one go. Taking advantage of the crisscrossing terrain, they shook off the tail and finally returned to the village where they had temporarily settled down just before 9 PM.

"He's passed out?" Qiao Ran frowned, watching Qin Huai carry the person into the house. "Call a doctor and wake him up."

Qin Huai gently placed the man on the wooden bed and reached out to check his pulse. "Whose delicate young master is this? He's too inexperienced."

The candlelight on the table flickered up and down as the wind blew in through the cracks in the window. The dim light shone on the face of the person on the bed. When Qiao Ran glanced at him again, she was still amazed by his divinely bestowed face, which was inexplicably dazzling.

Clearing her throat, Qiao Ran said, "I'll go check and confirm if it's the Prime Minister's car."

After saying that, she looked away and was about to leave.

Qin Huai stopped her, "You kicked someone so badly you're half-dead, what will you do when they wake up?"

Qiao Ran looked at him, paused, and said, "You're on night watch. No one can die, and no one can run away."

Qin Huai shrugged, forcing a smile, "Second Master Qiao is becoming more and more like someone in charge."

Qin Huai, after all, started from scratch and has more experience in the martial world than Qiao Ran has ever had. Why is he being pointed at and criticized like this? Where is his dignity?

-

Before meeting Qiao Ran, Qin Huai had been traveling all over the country with his men, doing the "Rob the Rich to Help the Poor" business, but they often couldn't make ends meet and lived in extreme poverty.

Three months ago, Qin Huai and Qiao Ran met at a merchant's house in the south. The two exchanged blows in the dark, and Qin Huai was defeated by Qiao Ran's superb thieving skills. They became friends after the fight, and Qin Huai, feeling grateful for Qiao Ran's talent, shamelessly recruited her into his business.

Qiao Ran is a free spirit, and her words are full of secrets. She seems to be shrouded in a fog. Her origins and her future are secrets that Qin Huai cannot fathom.

The village they were currently staying in in Sichuan was not a bandit stronghold, but a relatively secluded village where the people were not worldly and had little experience of the outside world. Qiao Ran was generous and paid them extra money so that they could stay there.

Now that Sichuan is teeming with talented people, this place is no longer a place for me to stay.

The wind howled in the mountains at night, and Qiao Ran's cold flared up again. She sat by the fire pit, rubbing her nose until it was red. The room was quiet, with only the crackling of flying sparks.

The hour of Chou (1-3 AM) had passed, and Qiao Ran was too upset to sleep. The brothers in the village were all a little scared. The sentries brought back news that there were people searching the area around where they had kidnapped Qiao Ran, and later even government troops arrived.

This is really going to be a problem.

When asked when she would leave Sichuan, Qiao Ran replied that it would be tonight.

She spent one last day in Sichuan before continuing south, planning to return north when spring arrived.
