Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They found a tea shop at the city gate and sat down.

Only then did Rooster realize that Shen Yijia had come out in the middle of the night to shake off that woman.

However, this was too unlike the Young Madam he knew. If she really didn’t want that person to follow her, shouldn’t she have beaten her up so that she couldn’t follow them?

Since when did she compromise so much?

When she met Rooster’s gaze, Shen Yijia scratched her head in frustration. She couldn’t bear to hurt her because of her injuries. Moreover, she was quite good-looking. Of course, the main reason was that she hadn’t confirmed if she had ulterior motives.

She had always been a person who distinguished between gratitude and grudges. It wasn’t like she wanted to beat up everyone she saw.

Shen Yijia couldn’t be bothered to explain. She hugged her knees and leaned against the pillar unhappily. If only her beautiful husband was here. He would definitely be able to tell if Mo Yuan was a bad person. She wouldn’t have to think too much.

Shen Yijia thought that she could shake off Mo Yuan by doing this, but she clearly did not know this woman well enough.

She had just closed her eyes for a while when she heard the sound of hooves. Shen Yijia stood up.

The horse had stopped in front of the tea shop they were in.

Looking at the person walking towards her with a bag on her back, Shen Yijia held her forehead.

What was even more ridiculous was that she was riding Xiaohua.

Shen Yijia glared at Rooster. Didn’t she ask him to tell the innkeeper to keep Xiaohua there? She even gave him three taels of silver.

Rooster was also confused. He felt wronged and asked bitterly, “Where did you get this horse?”

Unexpectedly, Mo Yuan stood beside Shen Yijia like a pillar and did not answer, as if she did not see him at all.

Rooster was speechless.

This person was obviously here for Young Madam. He suddenly felt a little worried.

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and asked unhappily, “Where did you get it from?”

Mo Yuan said, “I saw him give this horse to the shopkeeper. I remembered.”

“Good lord, you dared to ride it out just because you saw it. Is it yours? Do you know that you’re stealing?”?Shen Yijia thought.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “You said that I’m your young miss, right?”

“Right.”

“Are you going to listen to me, then?”

“Yes.”

Shen Yijia was satisfied. She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. “Then I order you not to follow me.”

“Mo Yuan promised you that she would protect you.”

Shen Yijia was so angry that she almost couldn’t catch her breath. It seemed like she couldn’t override this promise. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I don’t need your protection.”

“Mo Yuan promised you that she would protect you.”

Apart from Song Jingchen, Shen Yijia didn’t have much patience with the others. She felt that it was a miracle that they didn’t fight earlier, but now that she saw that it didn’t make sense, she pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it at Mo Yuan.

After seeing Mo Yuan’s skills earlier, Shen Yijia thought that she could at least dodge it. However, she did not expect Mo Yuan to not move at all. The sound of the whip hitting flesh was especially loud in the silent night.

Rooster did not expect Shen Yijia to attack without a word. He hid at the side and tried his best to reduce his presence. He thought to himself,?“This is the Young Madam’s style.”

Shen Yijia was stunned on the spot. After a while, she asked, “Why didn’t you dodge?”

Mo Yuan said, “I can’t avoid Young Miss’s punishment.”

She did not seem to feel the pain and did not even frown.

Shen Yijia blinked. She did not understand this person’s thoughts at all.

Frustrated, she returned to her original spot and sat down. Seeing that Mo Yuan was about to follow her again, she hurriedly said, “Stand there. Don’t come over.”

If not for the fact that she was a woman, Shen Yijia would have suspected that she had taken a fancy to her.

“Hubby, help. There’s a lunatic here.”?she thought.

In the end, Shen Yijia could not chase Mo Yuan away, but she ignored her. She politely declined this person who suddenly appeared and pestered her.

What was worse was that she had asked her who her Young Miss was. However, Mo Yuan simply said, “Young Miss is my Young Miss.”

Shen Yijia was confused.

That didn’t answer her question at all.

She didn’t even bother to ask her again.

If this made Shen Yijia speechless, she would definitely go crazy when she saw Qian Youde and his servant the next day.

“Young lady, what a coincidence…” Qian Youde stuck his head out of the carriage and greeted Shen Yijia with a smile.

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and did not even look at him. She raised her whip. “Go.”

The horse under her immediately rushed out like an arrow. Qian Youde, who had no time to shut his mouth, was covered in dust.

Rooster and Mo Yuan hurriedly followed.

“Young Master, are you alright?” Zhu Zi covered his mouth and nose and asked.

Qian Youde coughed for a moment and roared angrily, “Hurry up and follow them.”

“But what about our caravan?” Zhu Zi was helpless. Had his young master forgotten what he had been doing all this time?

Qian Youde was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and kicked Shuan Zi, who was sitting beside the pillar, down. He urged, “Shuan Zi, bring the caravan and follow behind. We’ll go first…”

Shuan Zi watched his master abandon the caravan.

He was speechless.

The closer they got to Xunyang, the more refugees there were on the road. Song Jingchen looked at these refugees with pale faces and pursed his lips.

Even if they rushed to Xunyang from here without stopping, it would still take them another day. It was not difficult to imagine how miserable Xunyang was now that so many refugees had appeared here.

After all, these commoners would never leave their hometowns unless they had no choice.

“Master?” Song Jingchen called out in confusion when he saw Song Jingchen stop.

He did not think that his master would pity these commoners.

Song Jingchen looked at the sky and said indifferently, “Let’s rest here for the night. Go and find out about Xunyang’s current situation.”

Uncle Yang had been on the Qilin Mountain. If he knew that something had happened to Shangguan Han, he would definitely not sit back and do nothing.

As for why he did not receive Uncle Yang’s letter, since there were other people involved, it was not difficult to guess.

Song Jingchen sneered. Not only did the enemy want Shangguan Han to die, but the enemy also didn’t want Great Xia to be injured. They had probably even schemed against his private army. It was really a good plan, but how could it be so easy?

“Master.” South Wind returned in less than half an hour.

Song Jingchen nodded at him.

“According to what they said, Xunyang was surrounded by the Hun army the day before we set off.

“These refugees are all citizens of the towns near Xunyang City, so they don’t know much about what happened in Xunyang City. And…” At this point, South Wind gritted his teeth and looked angry.

“Moreover, the gates of Liang County are tightly shut now. Not only are they not letting anyone in, but the Imperial Court has also sent heavy troops to guard it.”

“The imperial court is clearly telling the world that these people and all the citizens of Xunyang City have been abandoned by Great Xia.” South Wind was clearly furious. He had forgotten that he was in front of Song Jingchen and slammed his fist against a tree trunk.
