The power of women is highly respected

Chapter 42 Underestimate the enemy, run away

Wait, she seemed to remember where this place was.

In the past, when I was "working" in the Guotai Hall, it seemed that the government offices nearby had reported to the court many times.

This place is surrounded by mountains and has many trees, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The key point is that it is extremely far away from Fengcheng, and the emperor is far away, so it has always been occupied by bandits.

The imperial court sent troops several times to try to capture these hilltops, but failed.

In addition, this area is the suburb of Linan City and belongs to the territory of Queen Zhunan. If there is a disaster in this area that can involve this vassal king, the court will turn a blind eye to it.

It is true that if the king does not care about the people, the people will worry about him.

Yan Yu Ni looked at the house behind her, her thoughts drifting away, praying that she could return to the palace safely.

I hope so. I hope they are all open attacks and no more hidden arrows. I'm tired and just want to be a salted fish.

It’s really unbelievable that I was still in the territory of Yuanli Kingdom and there was an assassin attacking. They really think highly of me.

Most of the troops that followed him back to the court this time were from Zhunan. Now they have arrived at Zhunan, and these troops will stay here.

By then, she will only have two or three hundred men around her. What if the Queen wants to kill me too?

Oh, then... Yan Yu Ni touched her neck subconsciously.

This was the scene Xiao Hong saw when she arrived at the yard. She asked in confusion: What happened?

Yan Yu Ni came back to her senses and said guiltily, "Uh, no, nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, yes, yes, I didn't sleep well." She had a stiff neck.

Then, she saw the handsome man in front of her leave with red cheeks, a look of shock and shame.

Eh? A stiff neck from sleeping, that’s right. Why...why did he feel like I was flirting with him? Thinking of his hurried departure, Yan Yuni was filled with question marks.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Qingdai came over to ask for orders.

"Well, now that we are here, it is indeed time for the handover. Prepare the carriage and accompany me to meet General Zhao and take a look at the scenery in the south."

After handing over to the general who was guarding this place, she declined the host's invitation and got into the carriage. She ate and admired the scenery along the way. It must be said that the scenery in ancient times was beautiful.

Green water surrounds green mountains, birdsong accompanies the fragrance of flowers, and most importantly, the air is fresh.

It was so quiet that she felt uneasy for no reason. Was I wrong? In fact, the people here were simple and honest, and there were no bandits to worry about, and no one wanted to set a trap for her?

You know, she didn't ride a horse in order to be robbed, but took a carriage and drove slowly on the road. It was understandable that she was not robbed when she went to the military camp, after all, there was a group of soldiers following her. But now, isn't it too quiet? In this deep forest, she didn't even see a ghost. This is a bit abnormal. According to my bad luck constitution, why is it so wrong?

Yan Yuni took out the map in the carriage. We are now on Cheng'en Road. If we go further, we will reach Lai Valley. When the time comes, we should prepare stones on both sides of the road they must pass. Once we arrive, we will be turned into meat paste.

Yan Yu Ni pinched her brows. She could take a detour. The road was too long and it would be difficult to travel in the dark.

Boom! The carriage stopped suddenly and the people inside almost flew out due to inertia.

Here it comes. Yan Yuni covered the place where she had accidentally bumped into and smiled obscenely.

"Robbery, everyone in the carriage, get out quickly."

"Put down your weapons and we won't hurt anyone."

"Come on, come on, if you have anything, take it out quickly, be smart!"

Seeing that there were many people around, Yan Yu Ni wisely put down her sword and clenched the poison in her free hand in case of emergency.

"who are you?"

The people who were surrounding her stopped and froze in their tracks when they heard the question, as if they were wondering who they should be.

Yan Yu Ni saw the expressions of those people and thought to herself, this is bad, these are not ordinary bandits. She subconsciously wanted to walk away from the unknown group of people.

Just as she was about to signal Qingdai that the plan had changed, the leading woman on the opposite side shouted at her.

"What are you doing? You want to run? It's useless. We have people all around here. No one will come to save you." The woman looked around and continued, "Do it."

"Yes!!!"

Just when Yan Yuni was about to pick up the folding fan and prepare for battle, she suddenly felt that she had no strength left in her body. She glanced at Qingdai and thought to herself.

Fucking hell, that's awful.

The next moment, she was staggering and was about to faint. When she fell to the ground, she saw the white powder under Qingdai's feet and closed her eyes with relief.

Who is calling myself, am I still alive? I am still alive, right? Really, damn, I underestimated the enemy.

Why can’t I move now? What about Qingdai? Is she okay?

Unable to open her eyes, she simply lay down. The fact that she was still alive meant that the other party did not want to kill her yet, or that they could not afford the chain reaction that would be caused by killing her now.

Foreign accent, good at using poison, when did I offend these people?

She repeatedly recalled what the group of people said. After confirming that it was not the accent of the small country in the south, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think again. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not figure out who they were.

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the bandits here, but she never expected that the bandits here would be replaced by someone unknown. Now, she didn't even know what situation she was in.

Not to mention finding out why this group of people gathered here and then taking advantage of them.

After a while, when she was able to sit up slowly, she began to twist her wrist and wondered what kind of medicine it was that could enter her body without her knowledge.

You know, the sachet she wore on her body could cure all kinds of poisons. She reached out and touched her waist, and sure enough, the sachet was gone. It seemed that the other party knew about it.

I have to run, I must run. If I don’t run, I’m going to die here.

She looked around, but before she could figure out what was going on, a beam of light came at her, stinging her so much that she took a long time to adjust. Only then could she half-squint her eyes and look at the person who was coming.

There was a man at the door. In fact, he had been thinking about why there were so many "bandits" men.

Now that I think about it, these people are not like that at all!

What the hell have I gotten myself into? Is Qingdai okay?

How long have I been here? Has anyone come to look for me? When will they find me?

"Go and help her up. The leader wants to see her."

With the help of the person beside her, she stood up and was finally able to open her eyes to take a good look at the man who was talking at the door. He had a slender figure, pale lips, and skin as white as porcelain. He stood there quietly. If he had not just spoken, Yan Yu Ni would have thought he was a white porcelain dummy.

Leader? A group of men who know poisons very well, and... She looked at the man beside her who also had porcelain-like skin and a high nose bridge, and prayed in her heart that the man she met was not the one from the Western Regions!
