Afterwards, he turned around and went to Jiang Changbaiâs courtyard.
Jiang Changbai was lying in bed recuperating from injuries. Upon seeing Han Feng come in, he quickly sat up.
âGreetings, Young General.â
âWerenât you with King Cheng in Jiangzhou? Why are you here?â
âI was ordered by the master to deliver a letter to you, young General.â
As he spoke, Han Feng pulled out a letter from his own clothes and handed it over to Jiang Changbai.
Jiang Changbai took the letter without rushing to open it. Instead, he looked at Han Feng and laughed, âYour master wouldnât made you rush all this way just to deliver this letter to me, right?â
Han Feng was originally reluctant to ask about Jiang Peihuanâs affairs, but when he heard Jiang Changbai bring it up, he directly asked, âYoung General, do you know why the eldest miss suddenly went to Qingzhou?â
âMy maternal grandmother is not feeling well, and my mother canât leave Jingdou, so she sent Huan Er instead.â
Jiang Changbai said this openly upon hearing Han Fengâs question, and with this information, Han Feng directly left the generalâs mansion.
After Han Fengâs departure, another person quietly left the generalâs mansion, a maid beside Jian Mei.
An hour later, Pei Wu hurriedly entered Xiao Junhaoâs study.
Since the incident with the sea hawk, Xiao Junhao had not left the Prince Qingâs mansion for a long time. At this moment, seeing Pei Wu enter, he looked up at him.
âYour Highness, I just received news that Eledest Miss Jiang has left Jingdou.â
âWhere did she go?â
Upon hearing Jiang Peihuanâs name, Xiao Junhao immediately put down his brush and looked at Pei Wu.
Looking at his expression, Pei Wu said quietly, âShe went to Qingzhou.â
âPei Wu, I remember there are often bandits in An District.â
âYour Highness, are you suggestingâ¦?â
âOriginally, I intended to make her mine, to use her for my purposes. Now that she has agreed to marry Xiao Nanye, if she canât serve me, then letâs just destroy her.â
âYou will arrange this personally.â
âYes, Your Highness.â
Jiang Peihuan was completely unaware of the news in Jingdou.
Even though Lie Feng could travel a thousand miles a day, the horses of Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao were ordinary. At dawn, Deputy General Liu rode up to Jiang Peihuan, âEldest Miss, we can reach An District by running for another half a day. Shall we rest first?â
Looking at the sky, Jiang Peihuan nodded, and seeing a small hill not far away, she pointed and said, âLetâs rest at the foot of that hill.â
After the three of them stopped at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Peihuan let Lie Feng to graze.
Ye Xiao brought a water bottle and some dry food to Jiang Peihuan and said softly, âEldest Miss, please eat something.â
âYou two should eat as well.â
Jiang Peihuan took a sip of water and then slowly tore a piece of the hard dry food and put it in her mouth.
The rations were hard, but she didnât complain. She had eaten worse when she went to the battlefield with Jiang Hong at her young age. So the dry food wasnât unbearable for her.
âEldest Miss, should we continue our journey tonight or rest in An District?â
âGiven our current speed, we should reach An District by evening. Weâll rest there for four hours, and then continue our journey after dark.â
Jiang Peihuan liked traveling at night. The roads were less crowded, and they could move faster.
Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao had no objections to her plan.
In the evening, Jiang Peihuan rode into An District.
An District wasnât far away from Jingdou, but its prosperity paled in comparison. Along the way, Jiang Peihuan saw many beggars.
Having lived through her past experiences, Jiang Peihuan was not a kind-hearted person. But seeing some children among the beggars, she glanced at Deputy General Liu.
âEldest miss, what can I do for you?â
Upon receiving Jiang Peihuanâs gaze, Deputy General Liu immediately came to her side.
Looking at the beggars, Jiang Peihuan said softly, âGo buy some buns and give them to the beggars. Remember, only give them food, no money.â
âRemember, only give me food. Donât give me money.â
âYes, Eldest Miss.â
Deputy General Liu didnât know why Jiang Peihuan insisted on this, but he did as she asked.
âEldest Miss, are you worried that if we give them money, those little beggars wonât be able to keep it safe?â
After Deputy General Liu left, Ye Xiao turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked.
Jiang Peihuan did not answer, but nodded.
After finding a simple inn and having dinner, Jiang Peihuan set off again with Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao.
After leaving An District and traveling half a day, they would reach Qingzhou.
However, as they just left the city, Deputy General Liu frowned and looked at the two roads ahead. He whispered, âEldest Miss, letâs take the main road. Iâve heard An District isnât very peaceful.â
âYes.â
With the idea of avoiding trouble, Jiang Peihuan rode Lie Feng to the main road. However, only an hour later, she saw torches up ahead.
In the darkness, Jiang Peihuan couldnât see the faces of the people holding the torches. They were all masked with black cloth, but based on their attire, she guessed they were bandits.
âWho are you?â
Seeing them, Deputy General Liu immediately stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Jiang Peihuan, his eyes cold as he addressed the unknown group.
The people across didnât respond, instead, they studied Jiang Peihuan carefully.
Recognizing her as the one they were looking for, the leader of the men spoke directly, âTake the woman in the middle alive, kill the other two.â
On hearing the manâs words, Jiang Peihuan frowned, while a cold glint appeared in Ye Xiaoâs eyes. âSuch big talk! You think you can kill me?â she taunted.
With that, Ye Xiao was the first to draw her long sword.
Seeing this, Deputy General Liu also drew his long sword.
Both Ye Xiao and Deputy General Liu were top fighters, and Jiang Peihuan thought they would be more than enough to handle these bandits.
However, the scene before her caused Jiang Peihuan to display a troubled expression. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
While the banditsâ martial arts were inferior to Ye Xiao and General Deputy Liu, but their coordinated attack made it difficult for Ye Xiao and Liu to gain the upper hand.
At this point, the previously inactive man suddenly drew his sword. Seeing him lunge towards Deputy General Liu, Jiang Peihuan quickly pulled out her whip from her waist, whipping it towards the manâs wrist.
Hearing the whooshing sound, the man dodged by twisting his body and quickly leaped onto his horse.
Jiang Peihuan did not stop her attacks. With a flick of her wrist, the whip lashed towards the manâs head.
He dodged, a glint of malice in his eyes, âI was willing to spare your life, donât push your luck.â
Seeing the man evade her whip twice, a troubled look appeared in Jiang Peihuanâs eyes..
