Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

Are there a large number of soldiers in that place?

Apparently, things are getting complicated.

There are only two possibilities for having soldiers near Lingzhou.

One possibility is that the King of Gunshan had rebellious intentions and secretly gathered troops in that place.

The second possibility is that a certain prince took a desperate risk and hid private soldiers in that place. After being discovered, it had nothing to do with him. He might even be able to push the blame on the uninformed Prince Junshan and make him a scapegoat.

No matter which situation it is, it is not a good thing for the emperor sitting in the imperial palace in the capital.

Fortunately, when she heard that human traffickers were trafficking in large numbers, she decisively followed up.

Otherwise, how could she have discovered such an important matter?

Before this, she still acted according to the original plot, and had a feeling that the Great Zhou where she was currently was not quite real.

Now, there are still many things she doesn't know. For the sake of her family, and even more for her own longed-for good days of lying down and leisurely, she has to go and investigate carefully.

Before, my cousin Tao Baichuan recruited private soldiers outside in the name of my father, played two cards on the side, and worked for the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince.

Could it be that those soldiers were the private soldiers of the Sixth Prince or the Eighth Prince?

[Little girl, I will take you to that place now. When we return to the capital, don't forget the conditions you promised me before.]

After waiting for a long time without getting any response from Tao Yuwei, the eagle flying in the sky became anxious.

It circled and flew lower and lower, and finally, it landed directly on the top of the carriage.

Tao Yuwei was brought back to her senses by the sound of an eagle flapping its wings overhead.

[Sister Ying, rest assured, helping me with this will definitely benefit you! ]

No matter how stingy she was, she knew that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

It's true that you like to save money, but you can't save when it comes to spending.

Xiao Lichen heard the voice coming from the carriage, he opened the curtain, "Qingzhu, what's going on?"

Qingzhu looked at the roof of the carriage with a wary look on his face, then came to his senses, "Master, an eagle has been circling in the sky for a long time, and finally landed on the roof."

"Kill it!" When Xiao Lichen mentioned the eagle, his aura changed completely.

A chilling murderous intent swept over his entire body, and his calm peach blossom eyes turned from deep to crimson.

My maternal grandfather, Zhuguo Gongzheng, was identified by someone who said that he often saw an eagle flying from the north and into his tent.

It was because of this accusation that my grandfather was arrested. Someone also found letters between him and the northern barbarians in his tent. Based on these things, the late emperor no longer conducted a detailed investigation, and my grandfather's family was thus charged with treason and treason.

[Sister Eagle, run. ]

After hearing her reminder, the eagle spread its wings and flew high above the ground, but did not fly far.

In a panic, Tao Yuwei forgot to communicate with her consciousness and shouted out loud, which made Xiao Lichen, Qingzhu and others change their faces.

They stared unkindly at the carriage.

How is this Princess Anle related to this eagle?

Could it be that she is helping the northern barbarians?

Qingzhu's hands reacted faster than his brain, and he pulled out a dagger that was tucked onto his belt at the side of his body.

Xiao Lichen, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at her with eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny.

How is she related to the eagle?

Could it be that she had been misleading him?

Could this special ability that allowed him to hear her inner voice be the work of a northern barbarian wizard?

Tao Yuwei glanced at Xiao Lichen sharply.

The aura of this man told her that he wanted to kill her.

Why is this?

He is hostile to her just because she reminded that Big Sister Eagle was about to fly away?

What's the point?

Tao Yuwei ignored his dangerous look and shouted angrily, "Stop the car!"

She didn't need his help, she could get to the mountain on her own.

The carriage stopped immediately.

Tao Yuwei jumped off the carriage swiftly. She didn't look at anyone's face and just walked forward by herself.

In response to this, Xiao Lichen, who was sitting in the carriage, reacted.

"Qingzhu, let's go!"

The carriage passed by her, bringing up a breeze that blew open the curtains, and she accidentally saw Xiao Lichen's condition.

He was like an ice man, sitting there with his back straight, his face as cold as ice, no longer the calm and indifferent he had when he was with her before.

She watched with her own eyes as the carriage drove away from her and quickly headed towards Lingzhou.

Tao Yuwei looked up at the scorching sun above her head, and hot sweat soon appeared on her forehead.

She rolled her eyes in anger, and the eagle flying in the sky circled and flew towards her.

[Little girl, what happened just now? Why did those people who were traveling with you want to kill me? ]

Animals are much more sensitive to danger than humans.

Tao Yuwei snorted angrily, "Sister Ying, I'm sorry, that person doesn't like old eagles, don't get close to him."

The villain Xiao Lichen would not hate Eagle for no reason, there must be other reasons.

After Tao Yuwei walked for a while, she didn't want to walk anymore.

It's not that she's tired, but that she's hot.

In the hot summer of July and August, people are so hot that they can't wait to jump into the water to cool themselves down.

She simply found a shady place, picked a large leaf from the roadside, put it on the ground, and sat down to enjoy the cool air.

Not long after she rested, she felt very thirsty again and wanted to drink ice water.

She glanced at the emerald green ring on her right index finger, and on a whim, she took out a bottle of unpalatable nutrient solution from it. Regardless of the unpleasant taste, she opened it and drank it.

After drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, she felt like she had endless energy.

I'm not thirsty anymore, but I still feel very hot.

Alas, drinking nutrient solution cannot solve the problem of heat.

Tao Yuwei felt that she had become pampered after coming to the Great Zhou.

When she was in the end times, the environment was severely polluted and all the plants and animals were mutated, but she was able to live for a long time.

Now, the weather is just a little hot, but she can't stand it.

[Little girl, don't rest any more. If you continue to rest, when will you be able to reach the top of that deep mountain? ]

The eagle was even more anxious than her, as it had two cubs at home waiting for it to go back and feed them.

Tao Yuwei sighed and couldn't even take a good rest.

[Okay, let's go now, Sister Eagle, it would be great if you could carry me and fly.]

When the eagle saw her stand up and start moving forward again, it cried out happily.

[You are so big, I can't carry you, little girl, you walk slowly first, I will fly ahead to explore the way. ]

Tao Yuwei waved at it, [Go quickly. ]

After the eagle flew away, Tao Yuwei used Qinggong.

She flew from tree to tree, and in less than a cup of tea, all her internal strength was gone.

Alas, she looked at the empty official road leading to Lingzhou and walked listlessly.

At this moment, she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her.

That’s great. If someone passes by on horseback, she can stop him and ask him to give her a ride.

When she turned around, she saw a familiar person.

"Oh, Princess Anle, it's so hot, why don't you stay in your house in the capital and enjoy your peace and quiet? Why do you come here alone?"

Guo Buyan, dressed in a snow-white robe, stood in front of her riding a big chestnut horse.

Behind him were five servants and guards riding white horses.

Tao Yuwei looked up at the person who was walking towards the sunshine, and it was rare for her to give him a good look.

"This princess is angry with my father at home, so I ran away from home. But Mr. Guo, why did you run out of the capital on such a hot day instead of joining in the fun?"

Who doesn't know how to be sarcastic? It's rude not to reciprocate.

Guo Buyan also found it strange to meet Tao Yuwei in this remote place.

"What else can I do? I have been ordered to return to my hometown in the northwest to cultivate myself for a while."

It was because of this annoying guy in front of him that he couldn't even stay in the capital.

After he returned home, his uncle, who was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, learned about the quarrel between him and Princess Anle.

What's more, he had spoken for Tian Linwen in front of everyone and in front of Princess Anle outside the residence of the Great General.

Now, the entire Tian family has been ransacked, and the Minister of the Ministry of Land and Revenue has committed a crime. The evidence is conclusive and he is going to be beheaded.

His fake son Tian Linwen was also captured by His Majesty's Xiaoyu Guard. His uncle was afraid that he would be blamed by His Majesty for this, so he sent him back to his hometown in the northwest for a while.

Who would have thought that they would meet each other halfway.

"Well, you should cultivate yourself and cultivate your character."

Tao Yuwei commented, folding her arms nonchalantly.

In front of outsiders, she unconsciously became arrogant again.

"You two, share one horse, and let me ride the other horse."

Tao Yuwei took out two silver notes worth one hundred taels from her sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the two guards.

The two guards rode the same horse respectfully.

Everyone knows the reputation of Princess Anle, and they can't afford to offend her.

However, they stared at the banknotes stuffed into their hands and looked at each other in confusion.

Seeing this, Guo Buyan said to his two guards, "Princess Anle has given the money, so quickly collect it!"

The two guards happily collected the banknotes.

I didn’t expect that Princess Anle would get compensation for riding one of their horses.

These one hundred taels of silver were enough to cover their family expenses for half a year.

If there is money to be made, they would rather ride on the same horse.

In response to this, Tao Yuwei rode the horse with peace of mind.

Without waiting for Guo Buyan to speak to her, she whipped the horsewhip hard and flew out like a sharp arrow.

In just a blink of an eye, her figure disappeared.

Guo Buyan was angry. How could Princess Anle do this? After getting the horse from him, she ran away without even saying goodbye.

This is ridiculous. You don't want to go with him, right? He must catch up with her.

He also swung the whip hard and flew out, and the guards behind him also chased after him anxiously.

Their young master must not be in any danger, they must follow closely and protect him.

Tao Yuwei rode on the horse, feeling the warm summer breeze and galloping, and her mood improved a lot.

It’s indeed a good horse and it runs without any effort at all.

It took her an hour to run more than ten miles.

Along the way, she didn't even catch up with Xiao Lichen and his carriage.

After she had been traveling for a while, she suddenly pulled the reins tightly.

Two roads appeared before me.

She didn't know which path Xiao Lichen and the others had chosen.

Looking up, I saw no trace of the scouting eagle in the sky.

She waited and waited, and finally, she randomly chose one of the paths and ran.

Fortunately, she drank a bottle of nutrient solution before riding, so when it was time for lunch, she was not hungry at all.

This nutrient solution can keep her from eating anything for most of the day.

She traveled for more than an hour and finally saw the eagle in the sky.

After the consciousness was connected, the eagle in the sky praised her happily, "Little girl, you are quite capable. You actually found a horse in such a sparsely populated place."

[Sister Eagle, how far is the deep mountain you are looking for? ]

Tao Yuwei sped up her riding again.

She was eager to get there and rescue the two guards of the house.

She was afraid that her arrangements would put others in danger.

[At your current speed, you will need to ride until dark to reach there.]

The eagle estimated the time based on its own flying speed and Tao Yuwei's riding speed.

[Then you lead the way, and I'll follow behind. If you encounter any problems ahead, fly back and tell me in time. When you return, I'll give you two more hares.]

After she promised to do something good, the eagle in the sky excitedly flew ahead to help her explore the way.

In this way, the man and the eagle ran quickly and finally arrived at the intersection in the deep mountains where the two guards were tied up when the sun set in the west.

[Little girl, do you see the cave halfway up the mountain? Those people took the two guards you were looking for into the cave.]

The eagle flew in the sky, circling and heading to the side of the cave entrance.

Tao Yuwei hid the horse in the nearby dense forest. When she came out again, it was already dark in the mountain.

She hid behind a big tree and looked up at the cave halfway up the mountain.

There was no one guarding it.

[Sister Ying, is there anyone guarding the entrance to the cave? ]

She had to be careful to avoid being discovered.

As for Xiao Lichen and others who were walking in front of her, they might have taken another path.

[Little girl, I have checked for you. There is no one guarding this entrance. Do you want to go up the mountain and take a look? ]

The eagle circled the mountain several times but found no trace of other people.

Tao Yuwei had a guess about this.

Perhaps this cave located halfway up the mountain is just a decoy, and those people must be hiding somewhere in this mountain.

After carefully observing the surrounding environment, Tao Yuwei had some ideas in mind.

This mountain is far away from the capital city, and there is no household living within hundreds of miles around it. It is indeed a very safe and hidden place.

If it weren't for these human traffickers, she would never have been able to find her way here.

Fortunately, she found such a place. After finding out everything here, she will go back and report to the emperor as soon as possible.

It would be better to act early and get rid of this big trouble in one go.

Although the emperor was not considered a wise ruler, he was still diligent and kind-hearted. Under his rule, the people of the Great Zhou were able to have enough food to eat.

Some people have no reason to stir up unrest.

At present, the top priority for the people is to have a stable and secure life and enough food to eat.
