Ruyi turned around from the back of the house with a bundle of firewood. He smiled at the two of them and said, ‘We found firewood at the back of the house. It rained so heavily all of a sudden. Fortunately, there’s a mountain temple to shelter us from the rain. Otherwise, we would have been drenched.”

Li Yu smiled. “There are raincoats in the bag. I’m just afraid that the horse will become sick.”

“That’s true.” Ji Xiang took out the map and looked at it. “Madam, it’ll take us two to three days to reach Le County if we go faster. If we’re slower, it’ll take three to four days.”

Ruyi smiled and hit him with a branch. “You’re already so old and don’t even know how to speak. Just say that you’ll be in Le County in three days at most. Wouldn’t that be short and clear?

Ji Xiang rolled his eyes at him. “Don’t even think about eating my baked pancakes later.” Ruyi looked at him askance. “Then don’t use the firewood I brought.”

Li Yu watched the two of them bicker like children and smiled. “How old are the two of you combined?”

Ji Xiang smiled and said, “Madam, 70 years old!”

Ruyi looked at Ji Xiang with disdain. “Silly, Madam is laughing at us for being childish.”

“You’re the childish one!” Ji Xiang smiled and picked up a few thin branches. He broke them and lit the firewood that Ruyi had piled up. After taking out the pancakes and putting them on the branches to warm up, he handed them to Li

Yu.

The three of them took out water bags and ate dry food. Ruyi walked to the door and looked at the sky. She turned around and said, “It looks like the rain won’t stop for a while. Madam, rest well in this room. Ji Xiang and I will go next door to guard it.”

Li Yu nodded. “Alright, everyone is tired these few days. Let’s take turns resting.”

“Yes,” Ruyi and Ji Xiang agreed and left.

Li Yu took out her sleeping bag and crawled in. She listened to the raindrops fall on the tiles and quickly fell asleep.

Ruyi let Ji Xiang rest first. He sat alone on the threshold of the hall and leaned against the door frame. He looked at the few purple flowers on the vines in the courtyard that had been blown around by the wind and rain.

An hour later, the rain gradually lessened. Li Yu walked out of the house and said to Ruyi, “Go and rest for a while.”

Ruyi nodded and said, “Yes, Madam. There’s dry food in the bag. You can heat it up when you’re hungry.”

Li Yu looked at him and waved her hand with a smile. “Go! It’s not the first time I’ve gone out. Don’t worry about me.”

Ruyi smiled and left.

Li Yu stood under the eaves of the corridor and looked at the rainy mountains. She stretched her muscles and bones and suddenly saw a few strong men coming from the rain and fog.

The tall man who was protected had a full beard and his true appearance could not be seen. When he looked at people, a hawk-like dark light flashed in his eyes with a hint of ruthlessness.

Li Yu glanced at them and turned to walk towards the west room.

Second Master and the others approached the Mountain God Temple and saw Li Yu standing under the eaves.

Chu Yun glanced at the horse tied under the eaves of the porch and Li Yu, who had turned around and walked in. He whispered to Second Master, “Second Master, look…

“We’ll leave when the rain stops,” Second Master said in a low voice as he glanced at Li Yu. Chu Yun nodded and escorted Second Master to the hall with a man.

The man behind watched Li Yu enter the house and frowned for a while. He turned around and whispered to the man beside him, “Ah Shen, did you see that woman clearly?”

Ah Shen glanced at the room Li Yu had entered and teased in a low voice, “Old Gao, have you taken a fancy to that woman?”

“Fuck you.” Old Gao rolled his eyes at him. “I wanted to ask you if you noticed that she looks like the woman in the portrait sent from the Imperial Capital.”

Ah Shen was a little surprised when he heard that. He looked at Li Yu’s room again. “With your eyesight, you shouldn’t be wrong. Hurry up and report it to Second Master.”

Li Yu saw the expression on the man’s face when he looked at her from the window. Her intuition told her that this person had seen her and wanted to harm her.

She stood behind the door quietly and looked at the dagger under her short skirt. She took out a crossbow and tied it to her arm with a cowhide belt, preparing to face the enemy.

Old Gao and Ah Shen quickly entered the hall and walked to Second Master’s side. They whispered, “Master, I realized…”

Second Master’s eyes revealed a bloodthirsty ferocity. “Did you see it correctly?”

Old Gao nodded. “I’m eighty to ninety percent sure.”

Ah Shen said in a low voice, “Master, Old Gao is the best at recognizing people.

He can’t be wrong. Besides, even if he’s wrong, it’s just a woman who died.”

Chu Yun said in a low voice, “Master, it seems that we didn’t succeed in the capital. Do you think something happened in the capital?”

“Something must have happened. Looks like we really can’t underestimate this woman.”

Second Master thought of the letter Old Master Cheng had brought. It said that there were two assassinations against Third Brother that were almost successful. They were about to succeed, but this woman came out and ruined things. He didn’t expect to meet her here. He had really found her without any effort.

At the thought of how he had been hiding for the past few years, Second Master was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth and cursed softly, “B*tch, you’ve ruined my plans time and time again. I’ll definitely make you wish you were dead.”

Chu Yun and Ah Shen said in unison, “Master, let’s go catch her.”

Second Master glanced at the two of them. “Don’t be rash. The news Old Master brought said that this woman has divine power and seems to be quite skilled.”

Chu Yun said in a low voice, ‘Master, no matter how strong she is, she’s still a woman. Are we afraid of her?”

Second Master looked at him and shouted in a low voice, “Shut up. It’s different from before. I don’t want to see anything happen to you.”

Seeing that he was angry, Chu Yun hurriedly knelt on one knee. “Master, punish me!”

Second Master waved at him and looked at Old Gao. “Old Gao, go and check if the people following her are in the next room.”

“Yes, Master.” The old man walked up the hall and pretended to pass by the house where Ruyi and Ji Xiang were resting. When he saw the two of them sleeping soundly against the wall, he walked to the corner and turned back to the hall.

After he turned around and walked over, Ruyi and Ji Xiang opened their eyes and stood up.

Ruyi pointed at the broken window behind them. Ji Xiang nodded and the two of them ducked out like raccoons.

Ruyi and Ji Xiang bent down and landed on their toes, quickly reaching the back of Li Yu’s house. Li Yu heard a sound from the back window and saw Ruyi and Ji Xiang standing outside the window. Then, Ruyi crawled in through the broken window hole.

Li Yu pointed at Ji Xiang, indicating that he should stay behind the window. Ji Xiang nodded and squatted down.

Old Gao returned to the hall and reported to Second Master in a low voice,

“Master, there are two people sleeping soundly against the wall.”

Second Master thought for a moment and said to them, “Old Gao, Ah Shen, and Ah Yun will deal with that woman. Ah Shui and I will deal with her followers.”

Chu Yun looked at Second Master anxiously. “Master, you can’t do it yourself. The few of us are more than enough to deal with them.”

Second Master looked at the few people standing there. “I don’t think I can count on you anymore.”

“Yes, I understand.” The four of them knelt on one knee and whispered..
