The soldiers were on duty, and suddenly saw the coachman rushing towards him with a sledgehammer. The soldier in charge reacted very quickly and shouted loudly, "Looking for death!" Then he turned sideways and easily avoided the heavy blow of the coachman, and then flew up and kicked the coachman's wrist.

The coachman suffered a pain, and when he loosened his hand, the sledgehammer was taken away by the soldiers.

The soldier took advantage of the situation and threw the sledgehammer hard on the leg of the coachman. The coachman immediately knelt on the ground and let out a painful wail.

"You want to steal the treasure, too?" The soldier snorted coldly, waved his fists and smashed it into the coachman's face. The coachman couldn't dodge and was beaten to the point of bleeding from his mouth and nose.

The other soldiers were awakened by the movements here, and they all got up from their sleep. Seeing the scene in front of them, they immediately surrounded them.

"What's going on?"

"This madman wants to steal treasure!"

They cursed all the time, and their fists and feet fell on the coachman like raindrops.

The coachman curled up on the ground, holding his head with his hands. The initial madness had long disappeared, leaving only endless fear and despair.

Wang Haipeng was awakened by the noise outside. He quickly got up and put on his clothes, hurriedly pushed the door out, and saw the coachman lying on the ground with blood on his face, surrounded by a group of soldiers with a cold expression.

"What's going on?" Wang Haipeng asked with a frown.

A soldier said, "This coachman took the sledgehammer while he was holding the treasure at night, but we took it down."

As he was talking, Liu Xiaoyu walked towards him.

His eyes were sharp.

Hearing what the soldier said, he quickly walked to the coachman, raised his hand and slapped him. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

"What a courage!" Liu Xiaoyu shouted angrily, "Come here, tie him up and send him to the government tomorrow, so that he can taste the severe punishment of national laws."

The soldiers immediately took the order and used ropes to tie the coachman tightly.

The coachman was beaten to the point of being unconscious and muttered ambiguous words of begging for mercy.

Wang Haipeng stood aside, watching all this quietly, sighing in his heart that the coachman's greed finally sent him to a dead end, and he didn't know what the government would deal with this reckless sinner tomorrow.

The delicate and leisurely awakens, and the sun shines in through the carved window lattices, illuminating the tranquility in the house.

She stretched, got up and washed up and walked towards the hall without knowing the thrilling incident last night.

When I stepped into the hall, I saw that everyone looked different.

She felt a little shocked, and she felt a little solemn.

Before she could ask, Liu Xiaoyu sat upright in the main seat and said coldly: "The coachman was ill-hearted and wanted to steal the treasure last night, but now he has been sent to the government."

Linglong was full of disbelief when she heard this: "How could this happen? He was fine yesterday..."

"Knowing people, but not their hearts," Wang Haipeng, who was beside him, said, "The temptation of this treasure finally made him have evil thoughts and embarked on this path of no return."

Linglong looked at the blue sky outside, and her thoughts drifted away.

Liu Xiaoyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Linglong, and said slowly: "Now that coachman has been sent to the official position. Our trip cannot be delayed. You have to hire another carriage."

Linglong nodded slightly, but a hint of hesitation revealed in her eyes. After a moment, she plucked up the courage to ask: "Can I ride in the same carriage with you? The place I am going to is Youzhou, but I came here without any clearance procedures. I originally thought of going to Youzhou to find the Prime Minister for help. To be honest, I am the princess of Anxue Kingdom. Some time ago, the Prime Minister wrote a letter to the king of our country, advising my father not to send anyone to find me, and I think the Prime Minister would be willing to help me this time."

After saying that, Linglong bowed slightly, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes. She didn't know what kind of response she would get from her sudden confession. However, in this situation, only by telling her honestly may she have the possibility of moving forward.

When Liu Xiaoyu heard Linglong's words, she couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked Linglong carefully, as if confirming the authenticity of her words.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyu put down the silk handkerchief and said softly: "Since that's the case, then you can go to Wenjia Inn, which is not far from the border, and then make plans when the Prime Minister comes back."

A trace of surprise flashed in Linglong's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Liu and everyone for your help. Linglong really cannot repay you. It is a blessing to be able to receive such care in this foreign country."

Liu Xiaoyu waved her hand slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"The princess doesn't have to be polite, it's just a simple task. It's a fate to walk along the way. But this inn is simple, so I hope the princess won't be disgusted."

After a while, everyone cleaned up and set off for Wenjia Inn.

Linglong sat in the carriage, looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, thinking secretly about the scene after seeing the prime minister, and was also full of anxiety and expectation for the future journey.
