Chapter 135
The calmness when they came made Le Zhengbo feel that the return journey would be more difficult, even though there were many people from the Mu Mansion traveling with him.
Yunxiu sat in the car with Mu Xin. The two boys who were newly hired to take care of Mu Xin were driving the car. The two girls who followed beside them were newly hired maids to take care of Mu Xin. Yunxiu and the other four were the five people who were brought to Le Zheng as a dowry this time.
There were other Taoists who joined the team. They just came to see the bride off, and they all seemed to be on high alert, which made Le Zhengbo feel that the return journey would not be simple.
"Miss Xin'er, if you're bored, I can chat with you."
Le Zheng Shuiling came over and when she found that no one paid any attention to her, she became bolder.
"I think you're bored."
"Uh? Why does this sound a bit annoying?"
Le Zheng Shuiling heard Yaoyao's voice and was feeling strange, when Yun Xiu lifted the curtain.
"Miss Shui Ling, would you like to come in and sit with us?"
"May I?"
"Of course."
"Well... I'll talk about it after I get tired of riding."
"Also."
"If you are bored, you can also call me over."
"it is good."
"Then I'll go to the front first, so as not to be scolded. I'm still very afraid."
Yunxiu covered her mouth and smiled.
"it is good."
Yun Xiu let down the curtain and slapped away the hand that had been pulling and pinching her.
"Why did you invite her over? What if this gets exposed?"
"As long as you don't talk and sit still, you won't be easily discovered."
"You know I can't sit still, so you should switch with my brother."
"Your brother would like to, but his body shape is very different from that of the young lady. The more he transforms, the easier it will be to be discovered. It's much better for you to do this. Just stay quiet and don't lift your veil, and you'll be fine."
She raised her hand and smelled herself, and was patted down by "Yun Xiu".
“This smell makes me sick.”
"What can I do? Can you hide the smell from them without being discovered?"
"Oh, okay, I'll bear with it."
She waved her hands helplessly, and Yun Xiu could only shake her head helplessly.
"It would be great if the trip goes smoothly. If something really happens, don't forget Xin'er's repeated instructions."
"Is our little prince here too? I can't even sense a trace of him. Are they being lazy?"
"You are the only one who is lazy." She gently lifted the curtain and glanced at Le Zhengbo and the others, then quickly put it down and said, "Don't underestimate these masters and their disciples who came here. If you follow them too closely, they will be easily discovered and cause unnecessary conflicts. You'd better not provoke Yinuo. You can't go with Xin'er. She will be unhappy in the beginning. If you suffer, there will be no lady to protect you."
"I'm not that stupid." She knew very well that she was the one who made Mu Xin worry the most. She also knew that it would not be so easy for Mu Xin to see her again after she got married. So she pretended to yawn and said, "I'd better get some sleep. If there's anything, call me."
"Go to sleep."
Yun Xiu leaned back and actually felt a little sleepy. The shaking of the carriage made her even more sleepy, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
She was confused and didn't know where she was. She thought she was almost at the Jimen Gate. So she opened the curtain and looked out. It turned out that the light was dim because the entrance to the post station was blocked by trees.
She was about to lower the curtain when a strange smoke filled the air, but it seemed to be just an illusion.
She stretched out her hand to try to grab it, and some small ice particles condensed in the palm of her hand, and she instantly became alert.
"Wake up quickly."
She quickly woke Yaoyao up, opened the car door curtain, and alerted the child driving.
Le Zhengbo, Le Zhengling and Le Zhengqing also felt something strange and couldn't help but stop their horses and look around.
The others didn't know what was going on, so they just stopped and looked around blankly.
For a moment, it was so quiet that the only sounds were breathing, heartbeats, and the rustling of leaves.
"what happened?"
A Taoist asked in surprise.
At this moment, a maid was pulled into the air by something, leaving only screams and lanterns falling.
Everyone knew what happened to the maid, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, so many people panicked. The little maids gathered around the wedding car in fear, and they had thrown lanterns and other objects to the ground out of fear.
"No matter what, you have to watch out. Once the Jiuli artifact is used, it will definitely bring disaster."
Qin Chu took off Yun Xiu's disguise and was about to pull Yao Yao over to Le Zheng Shui Ling. She had accepted Mu Xin's instructions that she must not let Le Zheng Shui Ling and Le Zheng Qi Ming show their weapons. If the true identity of their Jiu Li artifacts was exposed, they would be easily targeted.
As soon as he pulled Yaoyao's hand, the atmosphere around them suddenly calmed down and the battlefield seemed to be moving away from them.
Qin Chu changed back into Yun Xiu's appearance, lifted the curtain and looked out, and everything seemed to be fine.
"Miss is feeling uneasy. We have to modify the plan a little. We will split into three groups. Yinuo and Qingyi will be in charge of the dark group, and Qinchu and you will be in charge of the most conspicuous group. Don't expose your identities unless it is absolutely necessary. Once we reach the gate of Jimen Pass, I will cast a spell to bring you back."
"It seems that Yinuo and the others took action. Strange, how could they have such ability to make us unaware in such a short time?"
Qin Chu was wondering, Yaoyao wanted to ask something, but she covered her mouth with her hand. Then she said a few words to the child driving the car.
He shouted to the front, and Le Zhengbo was sure that the danger had gone away. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew it was related to the Mu Mansion and had no intention of investigating it. He signaled to Le Zhengling, and she waved for everyone to continue moving forward.
"You have almost rested enough in the Painting City. Go back and have a good rest."
"Master Ling, this..."
The little maidens were still trembling with fear. It seemed too difficult to ask them to ignore what had just happened. Even some Taoists could not pretend that nothing had happened.
"Do you all want to go up and take a look?"
Of course they didn't want to, so they wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, but they were afraid that they would be the next one because their legs were not working properly.
"You go first, and you two stay with me."
"Yes, Master."
"Others who don't want to leave can stay."
The maid was so frightened that she picked up the lantern and quickly followed the group.
Le Zhengbo, who stayed behind, used the sword-riding technique to fly to the top of the tree. He first looked in the direction of the team, and only looked away after making sure there was nothing unusual.
He noticed something strange about the leaves on the top of a tree and was about to reach out to take a look when he was stopped by a young man.
Le Zhengbo sensed no malice in him, and even felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
"Who are you?"
"Zi Chu has met Master Bo."
"Zi Chu?"
"Yes."
"Someone from the Mu Mansion?"
He did not answer, but turned his eyes to the leaves he had just destroyed and said, "This is not a good thing, don't touch it lightly. Zichu feels deeply sorry for the maid who died in Lezheng, but please rest assured, Master Bo, Zichu was entrusted by the young lady and will definitely be responsible for your trip to the end. Please go back, Master Bo, and don't let the important matter be delayed."
"Miss?"
Le Zhengbo knew the Mu Xin he was talking about, and wanted to continue asking other questions, but Zichu had disappeared, and he didn't feel anything at all, so he couldn't help but frown at his ability.
He landed, raised his hand to stop his disciples from asking questions, then led them to catch up with the team and spoke a few words to Le Zhengling and Le Zhengqing about what had just happened.
"The Mu Mansion has indeed recruited a lot of talents, and they are not just human. The one called Zichu might not be human."
Le Zhengling felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Le Zhengqing said, but fortunately Le Zhengbo didn't care about it at all.
"His level of Taoism is indeed higher than mine. I really can't tell whether he is a human or not. However, from the arrangements made by the Mu Mansion, it can be seen that the people who attacked us are not ordinary people. These Taoists who escorted the bride are much more powerful than our disciples. Take what happened just now for example, they behaved much calmer than our people and have seen the world. They also arranged such powerful people to secretly escort us, and they were able to move the battlefield away in an instant without you and me noticing. We were lucky to have only sacrificed one person."
"As Master Bo said, the Mu family may have known that someone would come to attack us and made this arrangement. They didn't even inform us in advance, which is really arrogant."
"Master Qing, this time our Le Zheng is marrying Elder Mu's daughter. Don't you even realize this? Master Bo volunteered to go with him, is this also his consideration? It's just that the Mu Mansion arranged things better than us, so we didn't even have to do anything. What reason do we have to criticize the Mu Mansion?"
Le Zhengqing smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Master Ling was able to witness the Mu family's marriage proposal with her own eyes. She must have seen many other families' determination to win the marriage, right? It's really good, really good that this marriage can finally fall on our Le Zheng."
Le Zhengling couldn't help but wanted to refute him, but gave up after Le Zhengbo's eye contact.
"We haven't reached Jimen Pass yet. If something happens again, the Mu family will be in trouble, but it will be embarrassing for the three of us."
"Master Bo is absolutely right. We are the ones welcoming the bride."
Le Zheng Ling didn't want to walk side by side with Le Zheng Qing anymore, so she pulled the reins and squeezed the horse's belly and walked to the side of Le Zheng Shui Ling.
At first, Le Zheng Shuiling was still entertaining Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua and didn't notice her coming over. When Le Zheng Qiming winked at her, she asked if his eyes were feeling uncomfortable.
"I've been teasing you for so long but you didn't respond, and you still want to make Brother Yuhua laugh? With your silly face and winking eyes, Brother Yuhua won't be amused by you."
Unexpectedly, he actually smiled when he saw Le Zheng Ling next to him. Le Zheng Shuiling was still unhappy and was about to say that he was partial to Le Zheng Qiming, but then he noticed Le Zheng Ling and quickly withdrew his hand.
"This horse riding is pretty boring, you guys keep talking and let me listen."
"Continue chatting? How can we continue chatting with you around?"
So in the end, she only responded to Le Zhengling's occasional words, and she felt uncomfortable riding the horse all the way.
