Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Qinghe, who was driving the carriage, was like a horse galloping on the grassland. He felt very exuberant.

Li Xiaoran, who was sitting in the carriage, sensed Wu Qinghe’s exuberant mood and couldn’t help but smile at Luo Cheng. “Wu Qinghe is quite a wonderful person!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he was immediately jealous.

“Then who am I?” Luo Cheng hugged Li Xiaoran’s waist and asked.

Li Xiaoran looked at the handsome face in front of her with a smile.

After kissing Luo Cheng’s face, Li Xiaoran replied, “You’re my sweetheart!” These words instantly pleased Luo Cheng. He, who had been a little jealous just now, felt content.

After traveling for more than half a day, Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and the others sold the carriages and bought some food before entering the mountain.

By the time the people behind caught up, Luo Cheng and the others were long gone.

They had met Li Xia and her son later on, so Luo Cheng changed their carriage and asked them to go straight to Hele Village.

In order to protect the mother and son, Luo Cheng asked Shu Ruyue to follow Li Xia and her son to Hele Village to wait for them.

Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and Wu Qinghe walked the mountain road to divert the attention of the pursuers.

Those people were after Luo Cheng, so they naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for Li Xia and her son.

As for Li Xiaoran, she naturally had to follow Luo Cheng.

She would go wherever Luo Cheng went.

Besides, she had really never walked in the deep mountains and forests before. She could take this opportunity to see a rare scenery.

To be honest, the deep mountains here were much denser than the tall mountains Li Xiaoran had seen in the modern world.

Not to mention anything else, even breathing in the fresh air filled her with joy and hope for life.

At this moment, it was already time for dinner, so the three of them began to get busy.

Luo Cheng found a place by the stream and moved some stones to make a simple stove.

Wu Qinghe picked up firewood and prepared to start a fire.

Li Xiaoran took the pot she carried with her to the stream to wash it. At the same time, she also washed the pheasants and hares she had hunted on the way.

“Husband, since those people are targeting you, do you think they’ll stay at our place and wait?! No matter where we go, we have to go home eventually!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “That’s for sure. Someone must be secretly monitoring our home now, but it doesn’t matter. No matter how far those people reach, they won’t be able to reach my house. As for Father and Mother’s new house, they just moved in. When the time comes, we should investigate carefully and see if there’s anything planted inside. However, with Ziyang at home and the people I secretly arranged, logically speaking, such a thing shouldn’t happen!”

“If you want to know if anyone is watching the village, I’ll just read your fortune!” Wu Qinghe, who had picked up firewood, said after hearing their conversation.

“That’s right! I forgot that a fortune-teller like Wu Qinghe is here!” Li Xiaoran slapped her thigh and said happily.

When Wu Qinghe heard this, he immediately looked at Luo Cheng plaintively and said, “Brother Luo Cheng, I’m not a fortune-teller. I just have some divination skills! I’m not a scammer!”

He had no choice. His sister-in-law was a woman, so he couldn’t complain. Therefore, Wu Qinghe could only convey his annoyance to Luo Cheng.

When Luo Cheng received Wu Qinghe’s resentful complaint, he immediately had goosebumps all over his body.

“Speak properly! I know you’re not a scammer. In that case, divine for us!”

As soon as he heard that Luo Cheng was willing to let him divine, he immediately became happy.

“Then when is your birthday and horoscope?”

“I have to report my birthday and horoscope?” Luo Cheng asked in surprise.

“How can I read your fortune without your birthday and horoscope?” Wu Qinghe was stunned for a moment and asked.

“Didn’t you say that you’re capable? Even if I don’t give you my birthday and horoscope, you should be able to divine it!” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said.

When Wu Qinghe heard this, he was stunned for a moment before saying, “Alright, alright, alright. It’s fine even if you don’t give me your birthday and horoscope!”

With that, Wu Qinghe looked around the forest and determined the direction.

After that, Wu Qinghe ran to an empty space alone. After flattening the ground with his shoes, he drew on the ground with a branch.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran smiled and shook her head before going to start the fire.

“Husband, are you testing him?” Li Xiaoran teased as she cooked.

“Since he wants to follow me, I naturally have to test his ability! I don’t accept useless people!” Luo Cheng said proudly.

“Didn’t you help Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng too?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

“I just needed to give Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng a push. I didn’t have to worry about the rest. Wu Qinghe will stay by my side, so I naturally have to test him. Not just anyone can follow me! When I chose Ziyang, Zi Zheng, and Zi Cheng from among the secret guards, I tested them a few times before letting them follow me!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she gave Luo Cheng a thumbs up.

“Husband, you’re impressive!”

“This is nothing. Didn’t you see how my other buddies chose their guards? That’s called perfection!” Luo Cheng thought of something and sneered.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she recalled what had happened recently and asked worriedly, ‘Who do you think did this? Wasn’t everything fine previously? Why do I feel that the other party seems quite anxious this time? Could it be that something happened in the capital that made them chase after you so relentlessly?”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he felt that it was very likely.

Was his scumbag father about to die?

Even if his scumbag father couldn’t hold on anymore, why did he have to be eliminated?!

He was a commoner, so he wouldn’t compete with them for the throne. Wasn’t it a little unnecessary to focus on him now?

In fact, something had really happened in the capital.

Everything that Luo Cheng had encountered was caused by this matter.

Not long ago, Luo Cheng had safely sent the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom to the emperor. After that, his scumbag father had gone crazy and asked someone to bring Luo Cheng back.

However, Luo Cheng slipped away quickly. By the time the emperor’s men rushed over, Luo Cheng was long gone.

After the emperor learned of this, he locked himself in the imperial study for the night and issued an imperial edict the next morning..
