Murong Yun Su stretched, and yawned The past few days of travelling and negotiating had depleted her energy One nap wasn’t enough to rejuvenate her

Feng Ling was i like a lady even when yawning

Murong Yun Su walked past Wei Cheng and Feng Ling waiting outside her bedcha to eat

‘Sister Murong, where are you going?’ Feng Ling asked ‘Wei Cheng waited a long time for you’

Feng Ling caught up with Wei Cheng who chased after Murong Yun Su, and she gave hilare

Murong Yun Su heard footsteps behind her She was i didn’t give up

Murong Yun Su carried a bowl of food into the garden, and she sat down

‘Minister Wei, you can start your reasoning,’ Murong Yun Su said

‘Jiang Yang is a rean

Wei Cheng continued his list of reasons against Murong Yun Su’s plans, which included Jiang Yang’s bad Feng Shui

‘Minister Wei, when did you get pro Yun Su asked

Wei Cheng laughed coldly ‘Do you think a first ranked scholar’s duty is to be a Feng Shui advisor?’

‘Then why did you list Feng Shui as part of your reasoning?’ Murong Yun Su asked

Wei Cheng couldn’t refute Murong Yun Su’s logic ‘We’re discussing where to keep treasury money’

‘Where do you think the location should be?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘The e,’ Wei Cheng said

‘Minister Wei, Huang Lang is aYun Su said ‘Sure, it’s close to the place But I’m worried as soon as the treasury , it’ll be immediately sent back to the palace’

Wei Cheng only sic was true

‘Jiang Yang is theYun Su said ‘Either I’ets done’

‘Indeed you’re a shrewd business person,’ Wei Cheng said exasperatedly

Murong Yun Su wanted to say of course she’s a business person, and not a court person

Murong Yun Su didn’t kno Wei Cheng convinced the e

Wei Cheng and Feng Ling helped Murong Yun Su pack to head back to Jin Liang while Fa Qi Zhengyi went to Shaolin Te Ca

Murong Yun Su stared at the hairpin she bought for Chu Zhang Ca for a long tieSince she found out Chu Zhang Ca was angry to death because of another woman, she realized their fate had ended Luckily they were merely acquaintances, and she could survive without him

Murong Yun Su closed her eyes, and she wanted to sleep all the way back to Jin Liang

Unfortunately, life never went s to plans

The carriage halted e floor She drew the curtain, and saw bandits dressed in blue clothes on horseback

‘What’s wrong?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘I built this path,’ the bandit leader said ‘If you want to pass, you must pay a toll’

‘I didn’t bringYun Su said calmly ‘Let me pass today, and I’ll pay the toll next time’

Wei Cheng scoffed ‘How dare you rob in broad daylight?’

Murong Yun Su laughed at the foolish first ranked scholar Bandits wouldn’t be bandits if they didn’t rob people

The bandit leader spat at Wei Cheng’s face

‘Seeing the rags on you is pitiful,’ the bandit leader said ‘Hurry up and leave No one wants to rob you’

Wei Cheng glared at Murong Yun Su

Murong Yun Su didn’t knohy Wei Cheng was angry since he was poor

The bandits still refused to let the carriage pass, and Wei Cheng was stillinsulted by bandits

Since Murong Yun Su’s experience with fake bandits at Hua Da Courtyard, she travelled in rags to avoid attention from real bandits

‘What’s your price?’ Murong Yun Su asked

The bandits discussed the toll price for a while

‘Five thousand silver coins,’ the bandit leader said

‘Five thousand?’ Feng Ling asked ‘Are you a bandit?’

‘Sister Feng, they are bandits,’ Murong Yun Su said

Feng Ling bit her tongue, and she let Murong Yun Su negotiate

‘Five thousand silver coins is tooat the path you built, it’d have cost only one hundred silver coins’

The bandits couldn’t believe their victi with them

‘One hundred silver coins,’ Feng Ling said ‘That’s our final offer’

‘Do you want to fight us to your death?’ the bandit leader asked

Feng Ling hid behind Murong Yun Su ‘Sister Murong, just give the Qian’

‘Why are you hiding?’ Murong Yun Su asked ‘Don’t you know kungfu?’

Feng Ling blushed ‘Big brother taught ainst so’

Wei Cheng was going to help Feng Ling, but he was offended by her underestith so he stayed out of her business

Murong Yun Su ’s weak kungfu She regretted overestith It appeared sohed, and closed her eyes

‘Mistress,’ Lu Ji called to pro Yun Su to save them

The bandits’ guards were up They were scared Murong Yun Su had a plan to defeat them by her calmness

Wei Cheng and Feng Ling looked at Lu Ji like she was a fool to think Murong Yun Su had a plan to save them

‘Snake!’ Feng Ling shrieked

‘What snake…’ Wei Cheng asked, and voht of a bed of snakes

‘Wei Cheng,’ Feng Ling called, and rubbed Wei Cheng’s back

The bandits were about to laugh at Wei Cheng for being scared of one snake until they saw the bed of snakes crawling on the grass, and they almost peed in their pants

‘Snakes!’ the bandits cried out, and they ran away

Murong Yun Su opened her eyes, and the bed of snakes returned to their den

‘Let’s set off,’ Murong Yun Su said calmly

Everyone else ere scared out of their anted an explanation

The carriage stopped in front of an inn

‘Are you eating or staying overnight?’ the innkeeper asked

‘Staying,’ Murong Yun Su said ‘Two rooms’

‘Four roo said weakly, still traumatized from the snake incident

Wei Cheng waited for Murong Yun Su to enter the inn ‘Aren’t you registering your name?’

‘Why would one person want to stay in four roo Yun Su asked

Wei Cheng counted four people including himself

‘Shouldn’t you register since you booked four roo Yun Su asked, and walked upstairs

‘Minister Wei, my mistress meant you should pay for the four rooms you booked,’ Lu Ji said

‘Why should I?’ Wei Cheng asked

‘No one forced you to book four rooms,’ Lu Ji said

‘She wanted two roo said

‘Mistress was going to book two roo aren’t related to mistress’

‘Is this necessary?’ Wei Cheng asked

‘Of course,’ Lu Ji said ‘Do you want a bad rumor to start?’

‘I’ said

Lu Ji nodded her head ‘You better not be crazy Master Chu is Mo Jiao Cult’s leader Don’t dare look at my mistress like you’re crazy’

Wei Cheng felt like lately he’d been surrounded by the strangest people

In a corner of the inn, a guest gripped their weapon

Lu Ji ht she saw someone familiar in the inn She shook her head, and walked upstairs

The rooms were ordinary One bed, one table, one tea pot, and one chair

If it weren’t for the bandits, Murong Yun Su wouldn’t need to stay overnight at this inn She opened the , and looked at the mountain view

Wei Cheng and Lu Ji barged into Murong Yun Su’s room

‘Feng Ling’ssaid

‘Mistress, when I went downstairs to order food,’ Lu Ji said, ‘our bags disappeared’

‘In the past when I saw one snake,’ Murong Yun Su said, ‘I passed out for three days How can you stomach food?’

‘Mistress… our bags,’ Lu Ji repeated

‘There’s nothing valuable in our bags,’ Murong Yun Su said ‘We’ll send money later to pay the innkeeper’

Lu Ji didn’t bother to say there were s to last the rest of their journey

‘Feng Ling’semphasized

‘So?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘We should look for her,’ Wei Cheng said

‘You want us to look for her?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘What do youasked

‘If you wantYun Su said like a co I say’

Wei Cheng realized Murong Yun Su was a control freak like Feng Ling He was a prideful her status, this was about a person’s life not court matters

Lu Ji stepped on Wei Cheng’s boot, and she whispered, ‘Minister Wei, my ood business She’s even bossier than her father Fro turns out smoother’

Wei Cheng realized if he didn’t cooperate with Murong Yun Su, they wouldn’t complete their mission

‘What’s your plan?’ Wei Cheng asked

‘Wait and see,’ Murong Yun Su said, and calmly closed the

Wei Cheng scoffed He wanted to ask if Murong Yun Su always acted cals flowed smoothly for her

Murong Yun Su turned around, and she faced the intruder ‘Haven’t you heard it’s polite to knock before entering a person’s room?’

The intruder was surprised the incense didn’t affect Murong Yun Su ‘Looks like you have a healthy body’

‘U Yun Su said, and secretly used her left hand to softly open theagain for fresh air to clear her foggy head

Even under theYun Su could still see the intruder looked like a masked woman in her forties

‘What brings you here at this late hour?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘Of course to kill you,’ the masked woman said

‘Then you should attack,’ Murong Yun Su said

Theto ask why I want to kill you?’

‘If I ask, will you letYun Su asked

‘No,’ the masked woman said

‘Then I don’t need to ask why,’ Murong Yun Su said

‘Aren’t you scared of dying?’ the masked woman asked

The aze She took five steps, triggered a trap, a chair hit her head, and fell down on the floor

‘You…’ the masked woman said, and fell into oblivion

‘Mistress, did I do a good job?’ Lu Ji asked, and detached the chair from the rope

‘Why was it you?’ Murong Yun Su asked

‘Minister Wei said he doesn’t hit women,’ Lu Ji said

‘Good habit,’ Murong Yun Su said to Wei Cheng

Wei Cheng scoffed
