Chapter 213

In order to see Jiang Li, no matter how reluctant Du Ruo was, she could only compromise for the time being.

Who told her the token was in the hands of that Yang Dian Feng?

But there was nothing to be afraid of; she figured he wouldn't dare do anything to her; after all, he was Yang Dian Feng, not a madman, so he wouldn't just act recklessly, right?

Halfway there, Du Ruo suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Sister-in-law?" Wei Ming asked.

Yang Dian Feng stood behind, silent, but his eyes were staring at the back of the woman's head without blinking.

Even if he couldn't see her face, he knew what kind of stunning beauty it was.

Du Ruo looked at the clothing store on the side of the road.

"You guys wait outside for a while, I'll go in and change my clothes."

Change clothes?

Wei Ming scratched his head; weren't Sister-in-law's clothes quite good-looking? Why change?

He couldn't figure it out, but still obediently said "Oh."

Du Ruo walked straight in.

The two big men stood on the side of the street, waiting boredly.

After a moment of silence, Wei Ming turned his head and looked at Yang Dian Feng with a fawning smile, "Brother Yang, it's better not to involve Lady Du in the grievances between you and Head Jiang."

Yang Dian Feng glanced at him, his eyes filled with threats.

"Wei Ming, do your own job well and mind your own business less."

Wei Ming moved his lips a few times, but finally didn't say anything more.

Two quarter-hours later, a short young man wearing a light blue long gown and a face full of pockmarks walked up to the two of them and waved his hand at them.

"Let's go, we can set off."

The two were dumbfounded.

Especially Wei Ming, whose mouth couldn't close, looking her up and down, "You... Sister-in-law?"

Du Ruo smiled, "Didn't you say I didn't look safe? So I disguised myself, how is it, is it safe enough now?"

Wei Ming: "..."

It was a bit too safe; with that face full of pockmarks, even he wanted to beat her up.

By the way, Sister-in-law was too amazing, right? If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell those pockmarks were dotted on; they looked real!

After confirming there were no problems, the three of them rushed to the city gate.

Wei Ming was most familiar with this area and soon rented the most spacious carriage; although the price was a bit expensive, it was comfortable.

"Sister-in-law, hurry in, Brother Yang and I will just sit outside."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Dian Feng vigilantly.

Yang Dian Feng didn't commit, but sat down by the driver very obediently.

The carriage clattered out of the city gate and ran all the way to Yugui Shan.

Yugui Shan was more than thirty miles away; along the way, besides the official road, they had to pass through several dense forests and mountain roads; if things went smoothly, they could arrive before dark; if not, it was estimated to be at night.

Du Ruo lifted the curtain to look outside.

Rice fields receded one by one, mountain ranges swept past her eyes; the scenery was beautiful, and there were many people.

Among them were many beggars and refugees in rags, dragging their families along.

Everyone was sallow and thin, and there was no passion for life in their eyes, only numbness and despair.

Du Ruo felt stifled inside.

The world was difficult; even a good official like Xianling Li couldn't make the people under his rule have enough to eat and sleep well.

Maybe she should do something...

Splash, just at this moment, it suddenly started to rain.

And the rain got heavier and heavier, accompanied by strong winds, smashing onto the ground with a patter.

The driver hurriedly put on a straw raincoat and hat.

As for Wei Ming and Yang Dian Feng, they could only hide in the carriage to avoid the rain.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, this rain is coming fiercely, it shouldn't last long, it will stop in a while." Wei Ming wiped the rain off his face and comforted her with a smile.

Just as Du Ruo was about to speak, the carriage jolted violently.

Wei Ming was caught off guard, his head hit the carriage wall with a bang, and before he could react, a force hit him heavily, forcing him to hit it again.

This time, he passed out directly.

Du Ruo was startled, but soon calmed down, "Constable Yang, what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing." Yang Dian Feng kicked Wei Ming rudely, "This guy's mouth is too loose, it annoys me, so let him be quiet for a while."

Du Ruo sneered inwardly.

It seemed she had underestimated this Yang Dian Feng; she thought that although he was narrow-minded, he was at least a normal person.

Unexpectedly, he really was a madman.

She wanted to see what this madman really wanted to do!

"Why, you don't believe me?" Yang Dian Feng leaned against the carriage wall, his gaze wandering wantonly over the woman.

Du Ruo pulled the corner of her mouth with contempt, "Guess if I believe you?"

Seeing her so calm, Yang Dian Feng felt it was incredible and frowned, "You, aren't you afraid of me? You have to know, in this wilderness, if I do something out of line to you, it's very easy."

"Don't think that just because you have Lord Du and Jiang Li as backers, I wouldn't dare."

"If Jiang Li finds out, he might kill me; but you won't fare any better either; a woman who has lost her chastity is like a polluted famous painting, sooner or later she will be abandoned, are you really not afraid?"

Heh, she was so scared.

Du Ruo lowered her head and played with her hands, smiling slightly, "I advise you not to court death."
