The road ahead is temporarily peaceful.

　　I didn't speak much to provoke him.

　　Caoguan was also strange.

　　He didn't even look for trouble with me.

　　And he even avoided my gaze.

　　Every time he saw me staring at him, he would pretend to look elsewhere.

　　What's going on, Young Master? Who is the big sister after all! But, we are almost in Miaojiang.

　　I exhaled.

　　The mission is almost completed, I hope everything goes smoothly.

　　Then I can run away with the silver ticket.

　　But I found out that money is not that easy to earn.

　　We encountered a wave of bandits.

　　About ten people.

　　...

　　Their skills are not high, but their stealth ability is quite good.

　　So when the arrows with a faint blue glow broke through the air and pierced the carriage board, I barely managed to draw my sword.

　　When Caoguan pulled aside the curtain and jumped out, the tail feathers of the poisoned arrow were still shaking uncontrollably.

　　It's hard to guard against hidden arrows.

　　The sound of breaking through the air came again.

　　I threw the jug in my hand.

　　The pottery jar shattered into pieces, scattering the fragrance of the wine.

　　Damn it.

　　This jar of wine is worth ten taels of silver.

　　It infuriates me.

　　The horses neighed in panic and rushed forward.

　　Caoguan pulled out a short knife from his waist, stabilized himself, and stood on the carriage board.

　　Several masked individuals ran out from both sides of the trees, holding strong crossbows pointed towards us.

　　They didn't attack the horses, so are they after our money? As the thieves approached, Cangguan threw a few black bugs from his sleeve.

　　Deep blue wings, coated with poison.

　　The bugs quickly flew towards the enemy's faces, and with screams of pain, three of them fell to the ground.

　　"Are you okay?" I stabbed one person in the chest with my sword, infused it with true energy, and turned his organs into a pile of flesh.

　　Then I swiftly sliced another person's neck.

　　Five or six poison arrows were shot at me from different directions.

　　"I'm fine." He used his short knife ruthlessly, his movements elusive, and quickly took the lives of a few more people.

　　I smiled, "Your hometown really has a unique way of treating guests." At this moment, an arrow came from behind Cangguan, aiming at his heart.

　　I wanted to shoot down the arrowhead, but there was a flash of light elsewhere.

　　I could only barely cut off the shaft of the arrow.

　　Unexpectedly, a burst of colorful powder scattered.

　　It flew into my face.

　　It smells pretty good? Why does it smell like exploding mushrooms? This isn't Nanzhao, don't tell me this is poisonous mushrooms.

　　With my previous physical condition, I shouldn't be afraid, and by circulating my internal energy a few times, I should be able to expel it.

　　But what's happening now? The colors in front of me began to blur like a overturned painting, red and green dazzling.

　　I furrowed my brow, feeling dizzy.

　　I'm not the kind of person who becomes half-dead from inhaling a bit of poison gas.

　　What's happening now? Cangguan saw me in a daze, pulled me aside, and avoided the ambush, urgently asking, "What's wrong with you?!" Help.

　　The Cangguan in front of me, why is he tied up with red ropes and his wrists wrapped in iron chains, his eyes covered with black cloth? And the crucial thing is! His clothes are tattered! The fair skin is covered in bruises caused by being strangled.

　　I stared at him intently.

　　"What are you looking at?" Cangguan yelled anxiously.

　　I...

　　I don't know what I'm looking at...

　　There are no more thieves around, only bouncing mushrooms.

　　Red, black, yellow, blue...

　　My vision has become blurry and I collapsed onto the ground.

　　Impressive.

　　I was knocked down by poisonous mushrooms.

　　I don't even have the strength to prop up my sword.

　　Money really isn't easy to make.

　　Cangguan looks very murderous.

　　But who tied those pretty red ropes on him? Afterwards, the bouncing mushrooms let out one scream after another.

　　In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the world returns to silence, and the horses wave their hooves uneasily.

　　It seems like I'm being carried on someone's back, and in front of me is a broad and solid back.

　　I can hear heavy breathing, as well as anxious heartbeats.

　　I tightly hold onto his neck and nervously say, "Walk carefully, I need to vomit." ...

　　When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a bed.

　　The room has a simple and elegant decoration, with wooden decorations all around, unlike the style in the Central Plains.

　　But fortunately, I don't feel like a barrel anymore.

　　However, my whole body is burning, my limbs and meridians feel like they're being cooked in oil, making me uncomfortable.

　　And I feel extremely weak.

　　I have a feeling that there's no hope for a remedy.

　　I have gained some knowledge, poisonous mushrooms are truly renowned.

　　After a while, a girl with round eyes came in, holding a wooden basin with warm water inside.

　　Seeing that I woke up, she dropped the basin and ran out the door shouting, "Young master, young master!"

　　"Madam Shao is awake!" I stood there dumbfounded.

　　"Why are you shouting?" It was the voice of Cang Guan.

　　He hurriedly shouted, like a cat with its tail stepped on.

　　So when he stepped into the room, I felt that he was a bit unsure.

　　I reluctantly sat up straight and was disappointed to find that Cang Guan was wearing a black outfit and was no longer tied with a red ribbon.

　　What a pity.

　　"Are you okay?" he asked.

　　"Not good," I said.

　　"Let's make it clear, I won't repay you for your reward!" In the end, he didn't safely escort him back home, but rather carried me back to Wanjiangmen.

　　"What time is it already!" He looked a bit angry.

　　I weakly smiled and asked, "Why is this poison so strong?" "I feel like I won't get better," I said weakly, sounding as feeble as a frost-bitten eggplant.

　　He fell silent for a while and said, "The doctor said he can't save the person who is poisoned." "?" "The person poisoned will have a high fever that won't subside, growing weaker and bleeding from the seven orifices until death..." Who are you frightening? I agreed with her and said, "That's just perfect, I've avenged you with the marriage curse.

　　You don't have to lift a finger, I can end it myself." Cang Guan clicked his tongue, clenched his fist, and spoke with a hint of anger, saying, "I wasn't lying to you." Oh.

　　It seemed like I really was going to die.

　　So, with an air of resignation, I said, "Then before I die, I have one last wish..." "Can I...touch your face...twice?" His face was really handsome, although he didn't smile much and usually had a cold demeanor.

　　But when he was angry or when he smiled, he was truly lively.

　　"...Shut up," he was annoyed by my nonsense and angrily said, "Do you dare to try dying?" Then he sat by my bedside.

　　He was the one saying I was going to die, yet he wouldn't let me die.

　　What did he want to do? Cang Guan took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve.

　　I was still wondering if he was going to give me a merciful death.

　　Then, without hesitation, he cut a gash on his own wrist.
