The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 294 Thank you again for your help last time.
Originally, they were supposed to leave the day after tomorrow, but Sheng Wanqiu felt that it would be best to travel while enjoying the scenery, and there would be no need to rush.

However, just as they stepped out of the city gate, a group of people led by Marquis Beixu Xiaoyao caught up with them, saying they wanted to travel together and act as guides for Sheng Wanqiu and her companions.

Not long after, the Lu brothers also caught up with a group of people. Goodness, now that all sorts of groups were mixed together, this hundred-person team looked quite spectacular.

Sheng Wanqiu rode the big black horse that Lu Yu had given her, walking gracefully at the front of the group.

"Princess Yonghe, I'm sorry to have troubled you! Hehe!" Marquis Wu Yao, riding a chestnut-red steed, caught up from behind and laughed.

"My lord, you're too kind. It was just a matter of passing by, haha! You can just call me Wanqiu. I should thank you for the fan you gave me; it's clearly no ordinary item!"

"Thank you so much for your help last time. I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet, and you've already given me such an expensive gift. I'm really embarrassed. When we get to Beixu, I'll definitely treat you to a drink!"

Sheng Wanqiu truly loved the fan that Xiaoyao Hou had given her. It was an ordinary folding fan, just a beautiful decoration, but there was a button on the handle. Pressing it would send out countless needles as thin as cow hair.

When she held it in her hand, she was amazed when she turned the handle hard, revealing sharp blades at the tips of each fan blade. It was like a deadly weapon that could kill without leaving a trace! She was completely captivated by it.

"Haha, okay, let's have a drink together then. You can just call me Uncle Wu. All this formality is making me uncomfortable!"

"Besides, I think this Frost Flower Fan is especially suitable for you. It's useless for a grown man like me to keep it, so I'm just offering it to you. I'm glad you like it. This way, you can use it if you encounter any danger in the future!"

Wu Yao looked at Sheng Wanqiu riding on horseback with a smile. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. How to put it? He felt that this little girl had a vigorous vitality that made people want to get closer to her.

"Haha, Uncle Wu, you are such a thoughtful and kind person! It's a promise, I'll definitely treat you to a drink when we get to Beixu!"

When others show you kindness, Sheng Wanqiu will naturally reciprocate. Whenever Wu Yao needs help, she will definitely help him without hesitation.

"Alright! It's a deal, I definitely won't pay, haha. You go ahead and get busy, I'm going to rest in the back for a bit!"

"Wanqiu, here you go, it's a route map I drew, just make do with it!"

Wu Yao tossed over a piece of brown paper, which Sheng Wanqiu caught.

“Alright! Uncle Wu, you go and rest first. I’ll call you when it’s time to rest!” Sheng Wanqiu replied immediately.

Wu Yao smiled and waved, then nodded to Lu Lingyun beside him before spurring his horse back to the rear of the group.

Lu Lingyun nodded in response. She had watched the whole thing from the side. She hadn't said anything while the two were talking, just watched silently. Only after Wu Yao left did she come closer.

"Sister Yun, look, this Xiaoyao Hou is truly a remarkable person. The drawing is so detailed! Haha, it's really interesting."

Sheng Wanqiu handed the parchment to Lu Lingyun. Lu Lingyun opened it and couldn't help but laugh. Wu Yao's drawing was hilarious, like a child's random scribbles. Although it looked funny, the markings along the way were very detailed.

The post station, tavern, restaurant, village, forest, river, and checkpoint were all clearly listed. Even the locations where bandits and highwaymen were likely to appear were noted. Every aspect was taken into consideration. It has to be said that this person was very meticulous.

"This makes things even more convenient! It wasn't for nothing that you called me Uncle Wu!" Lu Lingyun joked with a smile.

"Haha! That's a must! After all, everyone loves this princess!" Sheng Wanqiu couldn't help but boast.

Suddenly she became serious again, beckoning to Lu Lingyun with a very cautious expression.

Lu Lingyun jumped up and onto Sheng Wanqiu's horse, sitting behind her. The big black horse was startled and immediately steadied itself, continuing forward. If the two of them were thrown off, the female demon would probably kill the horse and eat it.

"Sister Yun, the Wei people will be coming this time too. We need to find an opportunity to get close to them, and it would be best if we could break into their power center so that we can find out the truth about the attack on the Empress back then."

"Also, we shouldn't let too many people know about this. I think there are probably spies in this group, so we need to be careful!"

Lu Lingyun understood immediately; she thought the same thing. This time, she wanted to follow the clues and get to the bottom of the matter completely.

“Okay, I understand. There won’t be any problems with our own people, but there’s a high chance that eight or nine out of ten of the Imperial Guards accompanying us are from other countries. You’re right! It’s always good to be cautious!” Lu Lingyun agreed with Sheng Wanqiu’s words.

“Okay! We want to observe more. If we find anything wrong, we’ll discuss it together!” Sheng Wanqiu said in a low voice.

“Okay!” Lu Lingyun nodded and jumped back onto her horse.

"Sister Yun, Wanqiu, you two go quickly! Tangtang and Sister Han are going to rob some bandits! What are we going to do?!"

Lu Shuxue had just gone to the patrol team when she overheard Lu Tangyun and Han Qingqing talking about robbing mountain bandits!

This even got the young men in the Qiao family's carriage behind them very excited. It was really a nightmare. People with only half-baked martial arts skills dared to go and die. It was really a headache!
Sheng Wanqiu sighed helplessly, and Lu Lingyun was also speechless. She knew that Lu Tangyun, that idiot, would definitely cause trouble on the way, and there would probably be a lot of trouble along the way!

She didn't know how this girl had convinced the Emperor of Da Yue to come along. Although it was Sheng Wanqiu who had encouraged her to come along, she now realized that this girl was the biggest trouble on the whole trip.

See? This is just the beginning, and this woman is already causing trouble. Especially since Han Qingqing is also in the carriage, ever since Han Qingqing completely gave up on Lu Guan, she has become more and more unruly. Sheng Wanqiu even suspects that this is Han Qingqing's true nature.

Sheng Wanqiu told Lu Shuxue to lead the group and continue on, while she and Lu Lingyun rode their horses back to see what was going on.

There are now seven carriages in the procession. Qiao Wenyuan's carriage is at the very front of the procession, Xiaoyao Hou's is in the second position, and Lu Li's carriage is in the third position.
