It was indeed too eye-catching. There was no war in Chong County, so it was still considered peaceful. However, the citizens of the cities near Broken North Pass were struggling. It was hard to guarantee that they would not encounter robbery.
There were only three of them. It was not easy to keep an eye on so many carts of provisions, and it would delay the journey.
This place was a hundred miles away from Jia County. It was 150 miles to the Zi Town military camp where Qin Canglan was. The more rations they brought, the slower their progress.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and looked at the two of them. Without changing her expression, she said, “Ask the local escort agency if they can transport so many carts of food. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Jing Yi and I will take one each,” Fu Su said.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No need. I can do it alone. It’s very safe beside the county office. Don’t worry about me.” Fu Su muttered, “I’m worried about the rations.”
“Well, I think it’s still… Howl!”
Halfway through, Fu Su was forcefully pulled away by Jing Yi.
The two of them visited three escort agencies. When they heard that they had to escort more than a hundred carts of rations, they all expressed that they did not have the strength.
When the two of them returned to the quiet alley in the back street of the government office, Su Xiaoxiao was leaning against a mule cart, panting. She was sweating and out of breath.
Seeing the two of them come over, she straightened her back, looking like she was not tired and had done nothing.
“Young Madam, what did you do? Did you practice martial arts just now?” Fu Su asked.
Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly. “Oh, it’s a little cold. I moved around.”
Jing Yi walked over and handed her a clean and soft handkerchief. “Wipe your sweat and rest for a while.” Baby Jing was still the obedient one.
“I’m not tired…”
Duang!

The pharmacy was not human. The last time she filled it with gold, it was very happy. She lay on the gold and went in. This time, she had to throw them in bag by bag— Woah—
Jing Yi quickly supported her.
Fu Su’s expression changed. “Young Madam, are you alright?” Su Xiaoxiao’s smile was uglier than crying. “I-I’m fine.”
“Call me next time,” Jing Yi whispered.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. It was over. She had exposed herself too quickly along the way. She could no longer hide her little secret in front of Jing Yi.
Fu Su suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Eh? Young Madam, where’s the food? Why are there only five carts left?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression did not change. “I found someone from the county office and gave them a sum of silver to transport it away.”
The pharmacy’s storeroom was filled to the brim.
It seemed that she had to work harder in the future to unlock more space in the pharmacy.
“Let’s leave quickly,” Su Xiaoxiao urged.
Fu Su muttered, “Sigh, why are there only these few carts left…”
Su Xiaoxiao hired a few coachmen for the remaining carts of rations and rode east.
However, when they passed by a canyon, Wuhu in Jing Yi’s arms suddenly cried out.
Right on the heels of that, countless burly men with sabers and swords rushed out of the forest on both sides and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
A middle-aged burly man with a scar on the left side of his face walked forward fiercely. “Leave the things and horses behind and I’ll spare your lives!” Jing Yi and Fu Su grabbed their sword hilts at the same time.
The scar-faced man said coldly, “Don’t move, or I’ll shoot you.”
On the slopes on both sides, countless archers drew their longbows and aimed at them.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and looked at the scar-faced man indifferently. “Which one of you is the boss?”
The scar-faced man said domineeringly, “I am! ”
“Boss! It’s a woman!”
“She’s very beautiful!”
“Go away! Shut up!” The scar-faced man shouted, and the people on the hill fell silent. He continued to look at Su Xiaoxiao. “Miss, we don’t mean to hurt anyone. As long as you leave the things and horses behind, I promise to let you out of the mountain safely.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What if I don’t?”
The scar-faced man said, “Then we can only snatch them by force. When the time comes, I hope you won’t blame me for hurting you!”
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “It’s just five carts of food. How long will it take for so many of you to eat? Why don’t you make a bet with me? I have two guards. Pick one and if you can last three moves against either of them, I’ll give you another box of gold, other than these five carts of food!”
As soon as these words were sD0ken. evervone was stunned.
What did this woman say?
Gold?
A box?!
The scar-faced man was also a little tempted. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. “Is what you said true?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If I can’t take out the gold, there are so many of you. Are you afraid that you can’t kill me?”
The scar-faced man said, “That’s true.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘Wait, I haven’t said what will happen if you lose.”
The scar-faced man pointed his saber. “Tell me!”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “If you lose in three moves, cut off your hands and you won’t be a bandit anymore!”
Looking at the delicate and soft little girl who actually wanted to cut off her hands the moment she opened her mouth, the scar-faced man was stunned. “Boss!” Everyone’s expression changed. “We can’t agree to her!”
“That’s right, Boss! You can’t lose your hands! If you don’t gamble with her, we can snatch it directly!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Xiaoxiao smiled. “You can’t even take three moves and still call yourself boss. How shameless.”
The scar-faced man gritted his teeth. “A man can be killed but not humiliated. Alright, I’ll bet with you!”
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Fu Su and Jing Yi. “Pick one.”
The scar-faced man looked at Jing Yi.
Jing Yi looked like an inexperienced young man who was easier to bully than Fu Su.
It seemed that he had not completely lost his mind from the goading. He still knew how to pick on the weak.
However, he would soon understand that Jing Yi was definitely not a pushover. Jing Yi jumped out of the carriage and said to the scar-faced man, “Make your move. ”
The scar-faced man slashed at Jing Yi. Jing Yi moved forward with his legs and leaned back. The shocking waist strength allowed him to steadily slash past the other party’s knife.
Seeing that his first move had missed, the scar-faced man hurriedly used a vertical slash. Jing Yi blocked his saber with his scabbard and sent him flying.
His pupils constricted. With a flip, he slashed at Jing Yi’s right arm.
Jing Yi turned around and grabbed his wrist with his right hand. His left hand, which was holding the sword, slapped his chest with an inch of force. He took a few steps back and a metallic taste surged in his throat.
Jing Yi looked at him expressionlessly. “You’ve finished your three moves. Now, it’s my turn.”
He slowly drew his sword.
The young man’s killing intent fused with the unsheathed sword. Sword light flashed, and the scar-faced man felt his vision go white. In the next second, a sword qi attacked. In the crisis, he dodged to the side and dodged an attack in a sorry state.
However, at this moment, he had already sensed how terrifying the young man was.
Jing Yi’s second strike broke his long saber.
Jing Yi’s third sword pressed against his neck.
“I lost.”
The scar-faced man stretched out his arms in resignation. “Take my hands. I only have one request. Don’t make things difficult for my brothers.”
“Boss!”
“Don’t cut off Boss’s hands! Cut mine!”
“Cut mine! ”
“Mine!”
