Jiang Bilian died once. She cherished her life and was even more afraid of death. When she saw the third prince getting off the carriage, she immediately got off the carriage with the support of her maid Xiaoqing.

"My Lady, why don't you run away first? I will definitely protect you with all my strength." Xiao Qing was the maid carefully trained by the Prime Minister's wife for Jiang Bilian.

"Shut up, follow me and don't talk too much." After Jiang Bilian finished speaking, she followed Xuanyuan Junde with small steps.

They were surrounded by guards, protecting the couple tightly, which was much safer this way.

Why run away? Where can I escape? Jiang Bilian is a person who has gone through troubled times and is much more courageous than the maid.

It would definitely be a lie to say that she was not afraid, but she knew that the third prince would not be in danger, and whoever he would take that position in the future would naturally have a true dragon to protect him.

There are about three thousand people in the Third Prince's group, and there is still some distance to walk from the middle to the front.

In front of their team, Dai Yuntao and his subordinates were digging the ground to plant potatoes.

This barren field was the one that King Zhenbei transferred to Xuanyan City. The fields had already been planted with seedlings, and now they were digging the ground to prepare for planting various crops.

Seeing a group of people, Dai Yuntao walked over with a hoe and asked them if they needed help.

In fact, Dai Yuntao also knew that they should be the troops sent by the emperor to escort the grain and grass.

He was really kind-hearted and asked if there was anyone who needed their help, but he didn't know that he would frighten people into drawing swords.

If he had known this would be the case, he would have led his subordinates to work hard and not meddle in other people's business.

Now that the two sides were drawing swords and crossbows, Dai Yuntao naturally did not want to confront the people sent by the emperor.

He really doesn't understand good people, but he also knows that if they show weakness, the other party will definitely take advantage of them.

"We are just asking you if you need any help, but you don't know good people's hearts, so just pretend I didn't say anything and you can go."

Dai Yuntao's temper has improved a lot since he followed Chu Lixuan, because his wife likes civilized people.

Therefore, he usually restrains his murderous intent. When people who don't know see him, they really can't tell that he was once a murderer.

"You said you wanted me to leave, but you bandits blocked my way, and now I won't leave." The guard leader said angrily.

They were still very scared at first, fearing that they would encounter unreasonable bandits and harm their Highness. After all, there were about 10,000 people there.

Now that I see the bandits, I still want to reason with them, probably because I am afraid of them, huh! After all, he is also a second-grade general.

As a military general of the imperial court, would he still be afraid of a group of bandits? The guard leader straightened his back and shouted.

"If you don't want to leave? How will you stay? There are at most three thousand of you, and we are close to ten thousand."

No matter how good-tempered Dai Yuntao was, he was aroused to anger, and he said in a bad tone.

"I am a general who has been on the battlefield. What's the use of having so many of you? Will I be afraid of you rabble?"

When the other guards saw their leader's arrogance, they started to curse and curse in a high-spirited manner.

"That's right, did our general say he was leaving? It's you who should get out."

"It's too late to get out now. I'm going to chop you up. How dare you block the carriage of His Highness the Third Prince? I think you are tired of living."

"Who are you chopping? Get out of here, I won't fight with you." Zhou Daniu led a group of people to Dai Yuntao with hoes and said angrily.

Zhou Daniu was a Qianhu who had gone to the battlefield to kill enemies. He was a strong man who relied on his strength to rise to the top. His angry look scared away several guards.

Most of the prince's ordinary bodyguards are sons of concubines from aristocratic families and minor officials. They hold back-door positions, so how can they compete with Zhou Daniu.

"Hey, those people over there, don't run around, wait for me and the boss to come over and deal with you." Zhou Daniu's follower yelled with dignity.

The second-grade general, the leader of the third prince's bodyguard, was dumbfounded. What kind of weapons were they carrying?

Why does the leader look benign and harmless, but these people look so much like bandits?

Moreover, who is the ‘boss’ that these people call him? Could he be more powerful than this dark barbarian?

At this time, the people around the guard leader became weak again: "Where did these bandits come from?"

"No matter where they come from, they have surrounded us now. We can only fight to the end and defeat them."

The guard leader said arrogantly. In fact, he already regretted it. If he had known this would happen, they should have just walked over obediently.

"Okay, then we can only fight with all our strength!" the guards murmured weakly.

Dai Yuntao confirmed what he thought from their words. These people really came here to escort the food. They are so weak, how can they escort the food?

He was about to tell his friends to go back and dig the ground and let them go. People who were so greedy for life and afraid of death were not worthy of being their opponents.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and Dai Yuntao knew that the people delivering lunch to them were coming.

"Retreat quickly, there are cavalry! General, let's retreat, the enemy is too strong." A guard said with a sad face.

"Yes, General, we have hit a brick wall this time. Please go back quickly to protect His Highness from escaping."

"General, we were wrong. If we had known earlier, we should have walked over and let it go. We shouldn't have stayed here wrangling."

"Heroes, spare your lives. Let's leave now. You adults, please let us go."

"Shut up, I always kill the opponent with one knife. When did I ever back down?"

The leader of the guard, who was called the general, glared fiercely and reprimanded: "If you keep talking too much, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"

Being able to be the leader of the Third Prince's bodyguard is considered somewhat bloody, mainly because he still has some brains.

You can't run away even if you really want to, not to mention that the other party really doesn't have any ill intentions. Just like they said, they are just asking if they want to help.

It would be a good thing if we could make friends with each other, so he clasped his fists and said, "Has your cavalry arrived?"

"What cavalry? You think it's a war, but those are the brothers who brought us lunch." Zhou Daniu replied angrily.

A bold guard scratched his head: "Then why do you bring food to the official road to eat? I think this area is also deserted. Could it be that you cooked the food from Youzhou City?"

"Do you really want to know? Hehe, I won't tell you." Zhou Daniu smiled proudly.

"You guys should go quickly, we have to eat now, haha..." Zhou Daniu's men burst into laughter.

"Okay, since you admit defeat, I will leave. Please follow closely later and don't get lost." The leader of the guard shouted in a desperate manner.

Dai Yuntao led the people back to the side of the road to make way for them to go.
