The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Upon hearing Xue Chengyan's words, Yang Chuan knelt down with a thud, kowtowed, and when he looked up again, tears were streaming down his face: "I dare not deceive you, young master. My name is Yang Chuan, and I am the only son of Yang Chunhui, the former Minister of Rites. Five years ago, my father was framed and offended the Emperor, and was dismissed from his post. He died in despair, and my mother followed him not long after. That is why I am now wandering the streets!"

Xue Chengyan was deeply moved by Yang Chuan's words. He quickly stepped forward, helped Yang Chuan up, and said, "Young Master Yang, please get up. You are too kind to ask me to do this. My great-grandfather told me about what happened back then, and I have heard a little about it. There must be some hidden story behind it."

Yang Chuan looked at Xue Chengyan with hope in his eyes and choked up, saying, "Young Master, I have been hoping day and night to clear my father's name, but I have no way to do so."

Xue Chengyan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although my Xue family does not hold official positions in the court, we have made many acquaintances with upright people in the court. When the time is right, I will do my best to help in this matter."

Yang Chuan bowed again, expressing his gratitude: "If it can be done this way, Yang Chuan will never forget your great kindness."

Xue Chengyan helped him up and patted his shoulder: "After I finish my business here, you come back to the manor with me and work as my page. We can discuss things further later. Take this money and book another room next door."

Yang Chuan quickly shook his head: "Young master, there's no need to waste money. I have a place to stay. I'll go back first and come back to serve you early tomorrow morning!"

Xue Chengyan stuffed the silver into Yang Chuan's hand: "Since you've chosen to follow me, do as I say! First, go and call Xue Feng up. Then, get a room, take a bath, and use the remaining silver to buy some clothes. After all, you'll be doing things for me in the future! It's not good to be dressed too shabbily. Then, tell the waiter to prepare some things for us to eat together later!"

Yang Chuan nodded, took the silver, went downstairs to call Xue Feng upstairs, washed up, bought clothes, and after dinner, Xue Chengyan asked about the events of that year. Xue Chengyan secretly decided to start by investigating the people who impeached Yang Chunhui back then, looking for loopholes in their investigation.

At the Crown Prince's residence, early the next morning, Chu Huainan instructed his men to prepare the carriages for their journey to the royal temple to pray for blessings.

Meanwhile, Murong Xing and Chu Chen arrived early at a place frequented by bandits. They were about to pretend to be robbed by the bandits when suddenly more than a dozen bandits appeared. The leader had a full beard and was carrying a large knife.

Murong Xing and Chu Chen were overjoyed. They exchanged a glance, thinking that this was like a pillow being delivered just when they were sleepy, and their wishes had come true!

Before Murong Xing and Chu Chen could even speak, one of the bandits opposite them said, "Boss, I think that woman is quite pretty. If you take her back, she can be your third concubine."

The bearded bandit glanced at Murong Xing and nodded: "Not bad. I didn't expect to run into a little beauty first. I had heard that the Crown Prince was going to the royal temple to burn incense and I was thinking of robbing some gold and silver treasures.

Brothers, kill the women, take them back, and make them your third concubines! Then we'll kidnap the Crown Prince and make the court pay a ransom!

"Alright, boss!" Upon hearing this, a group of bandits swarmed forward, surrounding Murong Xing and Chu Chen.

Chu Chen sneered, "You dare to plot against the Crown Prince? And even try to abduct women? I think you're tired of living. I'm just being kind today, so I'll send you to meet the King of Hell."

Murong Xing understood Chu Chen's words and knew he was angry. She said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly. Our plan is more important. These people are easier for us and make things more realistic. In a little while, we'll fight and retreat, injuring a few skilled fighters. Then we'll retreat to the mountain path, and the rest can be handed over to the Crown Prince!"

Chu Chen nodded after hearing Murong Xin's words: "Understood, Master."

Murong Xing and Chu Chen fought their way back, and the bandit leader, seeing that the two were quite skilled, grew increasingly impatient. He said to his four henchmen, "You guys go and finish these two off quickly. The Crown Prince's convoy is almost at the foot of the mountain. Don't let them delay my important business!"

Upon hearing their leader's words, the men swiftly drew their swords and attacked Murong Xing and Chu Chen.

After listening to the bandit leader's words, Murong Xing nodded, and the two of them no longer concealed their martial arts skills, instantly killing the four people on top of them with their blades!

Upon seeing this, the bandit leader sensed something was wrong and roared, "So, you two were just pretending all along! Men, charge! I refuse to believe those two can defeat dozens of us. Kill them both to avenge our second and third leaders!"

"Kill them! Avenge the second and third leaders!"

"Kill them to avenge the second and third leaders!"

Seeing that the bandits were all filled with righteous indignation, Murong Xin whispered to Chu Chen, "Help me and run down the mountain quickly!"

Before Chu Chen could react, he saw Murong Xing spit out a mouthful of blood, and the knife in his hand instantly fell to the ground.

Chu Chen quickly helped Murong Xing up, his expression anxious. He had just opened his mouth to say, "Too..."

Murong Xing interrupted him, "Brother, my old injury has flared up again. Let's go! If we don't leave now, we'll both die here today!"

Upon hearing Murong Xing's words and seeing him leaning against Chu Chen, spitting blood and barely able to hold his knife, the bandits instantly perked up.

"Get them! Cut these two into a thousand pieces and feed them to the dogs!" The bandit leader waved his hand, and a group of bandits swarmed forward again.

Chu Chen only realized what was happening after hearing Murong Xing's words. So the Crown Princess was just putting on an act; the amount of blood she was vomiting had terrified him.

So Chu Chen supported Murong Xing with one hand and fought off the bandits surrounding them with the other, leading Murong Xing towards Chu Huainan's direction.

As Chu Chen led Murong Xing down the mountain, the bandits stopped in their tracks. One of them spoke up, "The boss and the others have gone down the mountain. Xiao Liu came ahead to report that the Crown Prince's carriage should be almost at the foot of the mountain by now. Should we chase after them or not?"

The bandit leader waved his hand: "Chase them! There are only two of them. The woman looks like she's still recovering from serious injuries and is just barely holding on. The prince's entourage only had one pair of guards, less than twenty people. This saves me from having to make two trips."

"I must catch that couple! I'll make them wish they were dead! What bad luck today! I didn't check the almanac before I left home, and ran into these two jinxes! They even got their lives taken for nothing! I'm telling you now, whoever catches that couple today will be my second and third leader!"

Upon hearing their leader's words, the band of mountain bandits completely lost their previous sorrow, their faces instead filled with eager excitement!
