With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Then, the cradle and the two children in front of him also disappeared.

Bei Chenyan was immediately shocked and grabbed Nangong Wu's shoulders with both hands. "Where are the three children?"

"..." Nangong Wu looked at his nervous expression and the sudden surge of ruthless killing intent in his eyes, and a big question mark slowly appeared in her mind.

With his fierce, almost desperate demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the children's biological father.

"You're squeezing me too hard."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with the young princess?" Li Shuang's worried voice came in.

"The child is fine."

Nangong Wu glared at Bei Chenyan.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Bei Chenyan wondered if it was possible to put a child in her magic bag.

Who will take care of the child who is crying?

He released her hand, his voice low, "I want to see the child."

Seeing his genuine concern for the child and having dispelled Li Shuang's doubts, Nangong Wu took Nangong Wuxi out again.

"Wow..."

"Xi'er!" Bei Chenyan scooped the child up in his arms, the murderous intent in his eyes instantly turning into tenderness. "Xi'er, be good, don't cry."

"Alright, the child is hungry." Nangong Wu softened her voice when she saw how concerned he was about the child.

Bei Chenyan realized he had overreacted and felt a little embarrassed. "I... I was just worried about the baby."

"Now you can rest assured." Nangong Wu sent the child back into the space with her mind.

"Hehe..." Bei Chenyan chuckled sheepishly.

Nangong Wu sat down and asked him, "At our current pace, how long will it take us to reach the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"The main problem is that the Western Yan Kingdom is now at odds with the Eastern Jin Kingdom, so we have to take a detour through the Southern Qi Kingdom, which is about 5,000 li away. It will take at least two months to travel. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the horses can't take it without rest, so it may take even longer."

Bei Chenyan suddenly remembered something, and looking at her with a strange light in his eyes, asked, "Do you have a better idea?"

The things on her body were more and more magical than the last; perhaps there really were divine objects that could travel faster than a carriage.

Nangong Wu frowned, answering a question unrelated to the one asked, "Is there a faster route?"

It would take more than two months to reach the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The time wasted on the road was too long. They probably wouldn't even reach the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty before the Eastern Jin army had already marched to the border.

"Yes." Bei Chenyan took out a map from his pocket, opened it, and placed it in front of her.

He pointed to a route, "This is a shortcut, only three thousand miles long, and it doesn't require going around the Southern Qi Kingdom. However, it involves crossing mountains and rivers, making it impassable for carriages. In some places, even horses might not be able to travel."

Nangong Wu carefully examined the route and nodded, "Okay, then we'll take this route."

"Alright." Bei Chenyan opened the carriage curtain and told Li Shuang the route they would take next, "Rest at the next post station, then take another route."

Li Shuang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Understood."

After walking for about an hour, it was almost noon.

"Your Highness, we'll reach the post station in about twenty li." Li Shuang noticed the temperature was rising and worried that the young princes might get too hot.

"I understand," Nangong Wu replied.

Bei Chenyan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, opened the carriage curtain, and checked the terrain outside.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Wu also poked her head out.

The carriage was entering a valley surrounded by hills.

This is a good place to ambush.

But this place is only 200 miles from Kyoto, so there shouldn't be any robbers here, right?

Bei Chenyan watched for a while, then sat back down, his gaze cold.

"We might be getting some work done, get your stuff out there."

Nangong Wu: "..." Is this guy's senses that sensitive?

She took out an AK-47 machine gun and loaded it with a long magazine for him.

Then he took out a small military pouch, filled it with two long magazines, two poison gas grenades, and two hand grenades, and hung it on his body.

"This makes it easier to take things out."

Bei Chenyan couldn't help but smile as he watched her carefully tidying up his things.

At this moment, Nangong Wu's ears twitched slightly, and a machine gun instantly appeared in her hand.

"There was definitely a murderous aura!"

"Your Highness, be careful!" Li Shuang sensed the danger and immediately pulled on the reins.

"Neigh—" the horse neighed.

"Be careful." Bei Chenyan suddenly stood up and got out of the carriage.

"Get in the carriage quickly!" Bei Chenyan said to Li Shuang, and then leaped up the small hill on the left.

The assassins lying in ambush nearby, seeing that they had been discovered, unleashed a torrential rain of arrows at the carriage, each shot powerful and accompanied by a loud whooshing sound.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Li Shuang drew her sword and blocked the rain of arrows.

Nangong Wu's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly called out, "Li Shuang, come in quickly!"

Such powerful arm strength suggests they are likely from the Northern Regions; Li Shuang is no match for them.

But the arrows were too dense, and Li Shuang couldn't move at all.

Nangong Wu extended her gun from the small window on the right and unleashed a barrage of fire at the men in black on the hilltop.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."

More than a dozen assassins on the hilltop were killed instantly, and the rain of arrows weakened.

The horse, riddled with arrows, let out a painful, loud neigh and pulled the carriage madly forward.

"Bang!" An explosion rang out from the other side of the mountain.

It was Bei Chenyan who threw the bomb, followed by a burst of gunfire.

Nangong Wu braced her feet against the car wall to steady herself, and while firing, she shouted to Li Shuang, "Li Shuang, jump out of the car!"

Li Shuang hesitated. If she jumped out of the car, Nangong Wu and the children would be in even greater danger.

"Thud!" An arrow struck her left arm.

Suddenly, shouts of battle rang out from both mountain peaks, and the rain of arrows stopped.

Knowing that someone had come to their aid, Li Shuang grabbed the reins to try and stop the horse.

But the horse was injured and startled, and couldn't be held back at all.

Nangong Wu rushed out of the carriage, shouting, "Jump down quickly!"

Li Shuang pulled the arrow from her arm, jumped off the carriage, and rolled over to dissipate the force of the impact upon landing.

Just as Nangong Wu was about to jump off the carriage, a figure suddenly flew over and grabbed the left side of the carriage shaft tightly.

The man was very strong; he pulled the horse back, and the horse reared up, emitting a loud neigh.

Nangong Wu jumped off the carriage from the right, grabbed the carriage shaft to stabilize the violently shaking carriage, and pulled out a dagger.

"Cut the rope quickly."

The ropes on both sides of the carriage shaft were cut, and the horse neighed and ran off, but it collapsed to the ground after running for a short while.

"Adeline!" Nangong Wu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer. "Why did you come along too?"

"I knew those people wanted to harm you, so I followed them!" Adlin pointed to the carriage. "Child, are you alright?"

"It's alright, let's put the cart aside for now, and we'll deal with those people first." Nangong Wu and he placed the cart shaft on a rock.

Seeing that she was alright, Adelin used his lightness skill to climb up the mountain again.
