CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 362: ENCOUNTERING THE FOURTEENTH PRINCE ON THE ROAD

Previously, Nanny Xue repeatedly advised Yuan Bao to return to the city, but Yuan Bao refused.

The main reason was that Yuan Bao wanted to find out what exactly happened to the missing villagers of Sanfu Village. But now, a mysterious expert has arrived who is no less skilled than Mei Jiu.

Although this expert was ultimately captured, Yuan Bao was indeed frightened!

Think about it, the first arrival was someone of such skill, could those who come later be any weaker?

If she continued to stay here, she might end up in deep trouble unexpectedly.

Although Yuan Bao always believed she was favored by fortune, as the saying goes, ’a skilled horseman may fall, a skilled swimmer may drown.’

Even though she was lucky, she shouldn’t risk her life recklessly.

After all, if you don’t seek trouble, you won’t find it!

...

The next morning, after having breakfast, Yuan Bao and her entourage left Sanfu Village.

Of course, the surveillance of Sanfu Village was still ongoing.

The Sound Listening Bureau hadn’t uncovered the truth yet, so it was impossible for them to withdraw.

Moreover, after catching such an expert last night, Shen Xiao immediately requested reinforcements from Yin Wuji, the Director of the Sound Listening Bureau.

Even though Shen Xiao wanted to claim all the credit alone, he was not foolish enough to think that his own people could handle the situation on their own.

If things went wrong, he would face inquiries.

Yuan Bao was unaware of the Bureau’s response, she was dozing off at the moment.

After capturing the mysterious person last night, Yuan Bao had trouble sleeping.

Even though someone was caught, she could not relax.

After such an exhausting ordeal, Yuan Bao hadn’t slept well, but in order to leave Sanfu Village early and avoid more troubles, she forced herself to get up.

However, as soon as they left Sanfu Village and boarded the carriage heading back to Yunyang City, Yuan Bao couldn’t resist the urge to doze off.

The carriage moved slowly, swaying gently, which was very sleep-inducing.

Meanwhile, everyone traveling with her, whether it was Mei Jiu or Nanny Xue, maintained a high level of vigilance, paying close attention to every sound around them.

After all, they didn’t know whether the attack on Sanfu Village was solely targeting the village, or if Yuan Bao’s involvement led to the village’s predicament.

Safety first!

The entourage slowly made their way back to Yunyang City, without encountering any accidents.

After they entered the city, Yuan Bao woke up from her sleep.

With sleepy eyes, Yuan Bao heard the noises outside and gradually became alert.

"Nanny Xue, have we arrived in the city?"

"Yes, village chief!"

Nanny Xue promptly responded upon hearing Yuan Bao’s question.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s eyes lit up.

"Let’s not rush home; let’s go to the Wei Family first!"

The bee tail needle had been used, so she decided to seek some effective concealed weapons from her adopted father.

"Understood!"

Nanny Xue immediately instructed the coachman to head toward the Wei Family Mansion.

However, halfway there, their path was obstructed by a team of riders coming from the opposite direction.

"Village chief, it’s the Fourteenth Prince’s carriage!"

Mei Jiu, seeing the carriage ahead, quickly reported to Yuan Bao.

"Oh, then let’s hurry and make way!"

Princes are the most esteemed individuals in Daxia.

Aside from the Emperor, even nobles and dukes have to yield way.

After all, until Emperor Xia decides on which prince would become the Crown Prince, every prince has a potential claim to the throne.

While Yuan Bao made way, she didn’t anticipate that the Fourteenth Prince himself would come over.
