Faced with Lin Ran's questioning, countless excuses flashed through Jiang Ling's mind. She had already thought about what to say, but when she said it, it turned out to be something else.

"I was just thinking that His Highness the Second Highness had ordered us two sisters not to reveal our identities to you at will.

But just now, for your safety, my sister revealed our identities. I was just surprised why my sister revealed it so easily."

Hearing Jiang Ling's answer, Lin Ran was noncommittal.

At the same time, Jiang Wan also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was really afraid of Jiang Ling and couldn't answer.

Thinking of the meaning of Jiang Ling's words just now, Jiang Wan took the initiative to add.

"I was just too worried about your safety, princess, so I violated His Highness's order and told you that our two sisters were sent by His Highness.

In fact, His Highness the Second Highness also gave instructions for us two sisters to act according to the situation, and everything must be done with the safety of your life in mind, princess."

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Lin Ran reluctantly accepted their explanation, and then she asked them about their next plan.

Jiang Wan thought for a while, but she still wanted Lin Ran to take the first step, separate from the marriage team, and then arrive at Shengye, the capital of Chu State, with documents that could prove his identity.

Originally Lin Ran didn't want to agree, but when she found out that Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling were sent by her second brother, she still seriously considered Jiang Wan's suggestion.

After much thought, Lin Ran finally agreed to Jiang Wan's suggestion.

After deciding on the next plan, Lin Ran took Jiang Wan, Jiang Ling, Tao Bi, and a few trustworthy guards with him, and hurriedly left via a small road.

Of course, before Lin Ran left, he still remembered to let people pretend to be themselves and stay quietly in the carriage to cover up their true route.

In this way, the two teams separated here and then headed towards Shengye at the same time.

Five days later, the quiet mountain road suddenly heard the sound of carriages. It turned out that there was a small group of people walking on the mountain road.

If you look closely, you will see that the small group of people is none other than Jiang Wan and the others.

Originally, Jiang Wan planned to rush to Shengye early, but Lin Ran couldn't ride a horse. In desperation, Jiang Wan could only hitch a carriage for her and slow down the driving speed.

Jiang Wan felt that the carriage was bumpy, so he rode alone to clear the way in front.

There are many mountains along the road, especially the road taken by Jiang Wan and his party.

Jiang Wan raised his head and looked at the green mountains on both sides, sighing secretly.

This place is really suitable for an ambush.

But now that they have changed their route, there must be no one to assassinate them.

But Jiang Wan had never expected that someone would actually appear in front of them.

"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."

A thick-looking man in front said this fiercely.

But as soon as he finished saying this, he was hit on the head by a taller and more powerful person next to him.

Wang Wei's head hurt from being beaten, and he couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, what are you beating for? Am I wrong in what I said?"

After he said this, not only did he not see the guilt of the person who hit him, but he also received a blank look. Wang Wei felt that he was really wronged in his heart.

He couldn't figure out why. He was obviously a robber as written in the script. Isn't that what everyone said?

Why did the third brother actually hit him after he said that now?

This place is called Qingquan Mountain, so it was named after the clear spring water that emerged from the ground many years ago.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the spring water became very turbid although it did not dry up.

As a result, the mountain became an ownerless barren mountain. Later, it was occupied by some people who became bandits and built many villages in the mountain, named Qingquan Village.

I often go down the mountain every once in a while to rob people passing by here.

people.

Because this place is remote and at the junction of the two cities, and the government once sent an attack, but it ended in failure, there has been no one to manage this increasingly rampant bandit den.

But these are not the most fundamental reasons. The most important thing is that the bandits in Qingquan Village not only secretly colluded with the officials of the two cities, but also secretly contacted many wealthy businessmen in the two cities, which is why it has reached its current scale.

Normally, they would not rob someone like Xiang Jiangwan, who was on a small scale and probably didn't have much money. After all, they usually received many gold and silver treasures from wealthy businessmen.

But Jiang Wan was dressed in neat riding attire, with a veil on her face, and she was riding in front with a heroic attitude, which was really curious.

In addition, Wang Wei has grown so big and has not taken him out for robbery yet, so Li Meng wanted to take him out to experience it.

Li Meng is the third boss of Qingquan Village, and the one who beat Wang Wei after hearing what Wang Wei said just now.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wan couldn't help but wonder if Weiguo had sent someone here again, but after hearing what Wang Wei said just now, she hesitated again.

After all, in the last assassination, the assassins attacked her directly without saying a word.

I must have met a real bandit now!

However, Jiang Wan still had to ask to avoid making a mistake.

"Are you two here to rob?" Jiang Wan asked kindly.

"Of course, can't you see?" Wang Wei answered before Li Meng could answer.

After he finished saying this, he did not forget to look at his third brother proudly.

Let me just say it, people will definitely understand what I mean, you actually hit me just now!

Li Meng strangely saw this meaning in Wang Wei's eyes.

He shook his head and looked at his stupid little brother, then changed his expression and said viciously: "If you are wise, hand over your money as soon as possible, otherwise, I will make you unable to eat and walk away.

"

"What if I don't hand it over? Do you know who we are and why you dare to rob us?" Jiang Wan asked back.

After hearing what Jiang Wan said, Li Meng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and then said: "I don't care who you are? You don't even know where this place is, and you dare to talk to us like this."

Very good, they are not people sent by Weiguo, they are just two simple bandits, Jiang Wan thought in his heart.

But with just two bandits, Jiang Wan wouldn't do it himself.

So, after receiving the signal from Jiang Wan's eyes, the accompanying guards came out, intending to deal with the two bandits who dared to block the road on the spot.

But before the guard took action, Li Meng suddenly said: "You can't be so naive as to think that there are only two of us here!"

Hearing this, not only the guard was stunned, but Jiang Wan was also stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wan saw Li Meng blowing a whistle for some reason, and then saw bandits all over the mountains and plains.

At this moment, Jiang Wan felt really tired.

If there were only a few dozen people, Jiang Wan might be able to give it a try. After all, her and Jiang Ling's martial arts were quite good, and with the few accompanying guards, it would probably be enough.

But now facing so many bandits, she really can't beat them. After all, no matter how weak the opponent is, they can't resist their numerical advantage!

The bandits in Qingquan Village easily captured Jiang Wan and his group. After all, Jiang Wan and the others also realized that they couldn't defeat them...

Bandits usually only want money, so if you give them the gold, silver and jewelry, that should be it. At this time, Jiang Wan can only hope for this.

But after the bandits from Qingquan Village captured Jiang Wan and others, they didn't care much about the gold and silver treasures on the carriage, but they all looked at the beautiful Lin Ran.

To be honest, they have never seen a woman as beautiful as Lin Ran.

As for Li Meng, he looked at Jiang Wan who was wearing a veil.

"Take off the veil. If you don't take it off yourself, I will take it off for you myself.

"Li Meng said calmly.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan didn't hesitate too much and quickly took off the veil. After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Moreover, she wears a veil herself, just because she is afraid of being recognized by others because of her identity in Weiguo.

After seeing Jiang Wan's face, Li Meng originally thought that Lin Ran was so beautiful that he should be a good match for his second brother.

But now after looking at Jiang Wan, he felt that Jiang Wan and his second brother were more compatible.

It's not that Jiang Wan is so beautiful, of course, she is also very pretty.

However, Jiang Wan has a unique temperament about him. He looks just like his second brother who is very calculating. The two of them look at each other perfectly.

Originally, Li Meng came here just to bring his younger brother Wang Wei to have a long experience, and then rob some small money along the way.

But now that he saw many beautiful women in this group, he instantly changed his mind.

Thinking of the fact that the eldest brother and the second brother in the village were not married yet, and these two were so beautiful, he might as well take them back and make them the wives of the village.

With this thought, Li Meng waved his hand and asked someone to take Jiang Wan back to Qingquan Village.

In Linzhou City, which is not far from Qingquan Mountain, Ji Zhuoyan and his men waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Jiang Wan and others. The flowers of their wait were all gone!

"Master Ji, we have been waiting here for a long time. Could it be that the spy was lying to us? Princess Zhao did not come here at all."

After hearing what his subordinates said, Ji Zhuoyan could only ask them to wait. After all, he didn't know what to do.

"Okay, stop talking. Now that we have received this news, the princess and her party must have encountered something on the road that delayed them.

Besides, the princess has a delicate body and expensive body, so maybe her feet are slower!"

Thinking of this, the subordinates also felt that what Mr. Ji said was very reasonable. After all, they only estimated Jiang Wan and the others' distance based on their own speed. It was better to wait a little longer.

Lin Ran was surrounded by spies from Weiguo, and she had been secretly informing Weiguo about Lin Ran's whereabouts.

It was only with her information that Ye Huaijin sent Ji Zhuoyan to assassinate Lin Ran.
