Before setting off on the road, Xihe opened the carriages and looked at the contents. The first few carriages were filled with fine rice and noodles, while the latter carriages were filled with cloth, seeds, and jade.
There might be gold, silver and jewelry, but they should be hidden, and she would leave them alone as she was too lazy to do anything.
After walking for more than ten miles, a continuous mountain range suddenly appeared in front of them. Snow on the top of the mountain was surrounded by clouds. The ground was a flat green space with occasional large stones and trees scattered on the grass like blood vessels.
There is a stone tablet beside the official road.
Submit a letter to 'Khanh Hoa Province'.
"Master, we have reached the border of the border town." The driver followed Lin's father and traveled north and south. When he saw the stone tablet, his face relaxed visibly.
"Well, we'll be repairing here tonight." Xihe jumped out of the carriage and kicked his sore legs.
The coachman was shocked: "Master, there will be a village right ahead. Why don't we go to the front to repair it?"
"No."
Taking the water handed over by the little maid, Xihe took a sip and looked at the mountain peaks ahead. The mountains and rivers were magnificent, and the golden leaves were swaying in the wind.
"It is said that the people in the border town are fierce. There are only three of us, but we are bringing such a large convoy. If we meet someone with evil intentions, it will be a problem."
"It just so happens that it's getting late now. Let's repair here all night, and then we'll go straight into the city with all our strength tomorrow."
The driver was a little reluctant: "But what if we encounter gangsters again?"
His whole family is in the hands of the Lin family. If he fails to protect this charming young lady, it would be too easy for him to pay for it. He is afraid that his whole family will also die too.
"You forgot that night. If they come back again..."
"Won't."
Xihe interrupted him directly: "It was okay for us to be so close that night, and we have traveled so far with the carriage these days. If they really wanted to do something, they wouldn't have waited until now."
What she said was reasonable and she was the master. The coachman had no choice but to say, "Yes, master."
While talking, the little maid had already moved the stools, tables, tea cups, and put out fruits and snacks for Xihe with deft hands and feet.
Xihe walked over and picked up a big red apple and praised: "Xiaomei, I knew that bringing you here was the right choice."
Look at those guards who were scared to death before, but now they can do their own thing calmly.
Little maid... No, I don't want to at all.

The border town is different from the humid climate in the capital. Although it has not yet reached September, it has already cooled down. Especially at night, the strong wind roars in the wilderness and the woods make rustling sounds.
Suddenly Xihe opened his eyes, quickly picked up the big knife next to him, and approached the curtain carefully.
brush,
As the sound of footsteps approached, the curtain suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in the night. Bang, the blow failed, and Xihe quickly retreated.
However, the other party obviously didn't want to let her go. He hit her with the heavy long knife one after another.
The sound of weapons clashing came and went in the cold night wind.
"ah!"
With a clang, the knife fell to the ground, and a woman's exclamation rang out.
"woman?"
The knife was still pressed against the woman's throat, and the tall figure rushed into the distance and said: "Light the fire!"
Soon, the torch lit up in the night, and several footsteps approached quickly: "Boss."
The man used the knife in his hand slightly and said, "Raise your head."
In the darkness of the night, a delicate and white face was raised, with misty eyes and messy hair. Her teeth were biting her red lips with a stubborn look, giving her a beautiful look of being abused.
The man's breath was suffocated: "Lin, Lin Rou?"
