I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 28 The final difficulty
Mo Ruyan and others didn't know what happened next.

They didn't know yet that the farming couple had inadvertently helped them slow down the pursuers, allowing them to escape safely.

A few days later, they encountered a group of foolish bandits who robbed them on the road. Tan Qiyuan shot them all to death with a few shots.

Under Tan Qiyuan's order, the silver-armored soldiers took off their silver armor, changed into bandits' clothes, and disguised themselves as traveling merchants.

Mo Ruyan disguised herself as an ordinary rich girl.

After secretly giving them a few taels of silver, they successfully deceived the soldiers defending the next city and entered the city to replenish supplies.

Mo Ruyan peered through the carriage window. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lord Mo's wanted poster on the roadside. Her expression, which had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly became one of worry and solemnity again. She murmured softly, "I wonder how Dad and Uncle Xu are doing now."

"Princess, there is no need to worry. The prince is far-sighted and powerful. He will be fine." The personal maid said in a clear voice.

"Ah."

Mo Ruyan nodded silently. She was in a difficult situation now and couldn't do anything even if she wanted to.

She could only pray in her heart that her father would not be caught as a traitor.

After all, attempting to rebel is a serious crime that will implicate nine generations of the family. At that time, not only he, but also his mother, and all the family forces behind them will all be beheaded in public.

in the following time.

Mo Ruyan always looked like she was worried about something, and her personal maid was always by her side.

The Silver Armored Army disguised themselves as ordinary guards and continued to protect them as they headed north.

Lai Yang is unknown and quietly improves his own strength, and he will not take action if he can avoid it.

Yang Kuan was still driving the carriage as usual. What was happening in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him and he was indifferent.

Along the way, Tan Qiyuan took the initiative to use money to clear the way, leading everyone to pass one checkpoint after another smoothly and safely.

Before she knew it, a chill blew over, blowing up the curtain of the small window of the carriage. Mo Ruyan was so cold that she couldn't help shivering.

She subconsciously turned her head to look outside the carriage and saw light snow falling between the sky and the earth. A few snowflakes penetrated the window and entered the carriage.

"It's snowing?" Mo Ruyan showed a slightly surprised look.

"Yes, it's starting to snow."

Hearing Mo Ruyan's words, Lai Yang responded to her subconsciously.

"Winter is coming, and auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope next year will be a year of peace and harvest." Mo Ruyan said softly with a touching smile on her face.

"Then I hope your wish comes true." Lai Yang turned his head to look at Mo Ruyan's profile and said lightly.

Mo Ruyan turned around, her clear, bright eyes looking at Lai Yang, and asked curiously, "That sounds so perfunctory. Don't you have any wishes of your own?"

"Of course I have. My wish is very simple."

"What is it?"

"I told you before, I want to find a place to live quietly."

"Don't you want to achieve great things in life, or study hard and take the imperial examinations?"

"Making a name for oneself is too dangerous, studying for the imperial examinations is too tiring, and passing the exams isn't necessarily a good thing. With all the intrigue and deception in the court, I know I'm clearly not cut out for it. Finding a place to live a good and comfortable life, a free and easy life, is enough for me."

Lai Yang smiled.

The so-called fame, wealth and power are like passing clouds to him.

The longer he lives, the longer he will live, and the stronger he will become. He will have the opportunity to stand at a higher place and see the scenery above.

Temporary fame and fortune mean nothing to him; he just wants to live a good life.

If you live long enough, you may be able to see different kinds of scenery on the road of life.

"Dad said a true man has ambitions, a passion in his heart, spear in hand, to vanquish the barbarians, establish a legacy, and achieve unparalleled achievements."

Mo Ruyan seemed to want to say something to persuade Lai Yang, but was interrupted by the latter's words: "Those things should be left to those who need them. I don't need them." "Why don't you need them?"

"Why would I need it?"

"I think you need it."

"I don't want you to think that. I don't need it."

"You...you are a stubborn...stubborn...blockhead..."

Mo Ruyan felt humiliated and her face turned red with anger.

Over the past month, everyone has become accustomed to the way Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan speak, and is no longer surprised.

After spending a long time together, any discerning person could see that Princess Wuyan obviously had some special feelings for the young man named Lai Yang.

But he seemed a little ungrateful, or more like he was pretending to be stupid.

They had almost finished their investigation a month ago. It seemed that the other party had no background at all and was just a commoner.

Mo Ruyan is the second daughter of King Tongwu, Mo Shenjun, and is even granted the title of Princess Wuyan.

One was a commoner, the other was a noble princess of a dynasty. The difference between their identities was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

Mo Ruyan always intentionally or unintentionally wanted to win over Lai Yang to join Beijiang City and persuade him to serve under the King Wu's Mansion in order to improve his status.

But Lai Yang always evaded the question or pretended to be stupid to get away with it.

Maybe she knew it in her heart, or maybe he really wasn't interested in this, but she just felt a little unwilling.

And she had a vague feeling that if she didn't do anything to keep him, he might be gone in the blink of an eye.

They will be returning to Beijiang City soon. Once they arrive in Beijiang City, it will be the territory of their Wuwang Mansion. They will figure out a solution then.

Doesn't he want a quiet life? Then wait for his father to come back and discuss with him to get him a place in Beijiang City so that he can settle down with peace of mind. That way, maybe he won't leave.

She remembered that there was a nice house next to Prince Wu's Mansion. They could buy it and then give it to Lai Yang.

First, thank him for his help.

Secondly, it will also allow him to settle down in Beijiang City.

Thirdly, it is convenient for me to go and play with him anytime without having to worry about him running away again.

Killing three birds with one stone, what a great idea.

Thinking of Lord Mo, Mo Ruyan's expression suddenly became darker.

More than a month has passed. I don’t know if they have successfully escaped from the imperial city. They must be safe.

Seeing that Mo Ruyan's expression suddenly became a little lost again, Lai Yang knew that she was thinking of Lord Mo again and was worried about his safety.

Lai Yang shut up and said nothing more. It was useless to say too many words of comfort. Only the real news that Lord Mo was safe and sound could dispel her worries.

If they want to find out the news about Lord Mo, they must first return to Beijiang City safely. Otherwise, they can't even protect themselves, let alone find out the news about others.

The snow was not heavy, like little white fluffs floating freely in the air, melting on the body and bringing a cool feeling.

At this time, they had crossed the last checkpoint. After walking along the official road for about ten days, they would reach their final destination: Beijiang City.

Just when they all thought that they could return to Beijiang City smoothly, an imperial army of 10,000 people had already been guarding the road they had to pass.

Standing at the forefront of the army is the Great Yan Dynasty—

Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.

One of the only four fifth-rank grand masters in the court.

Wan Yunxiang, known as the 'Demon-Slaying Sword' in the martial arts world.
