Her dark eyes sparkled as she used her fingers to lightly apply some lip balm on her lips, making them bright in color.

She then let her hair down and put it back into a simple bun.

She took out an exquisite butterfly-shaped gold hairpin from somewhere and inserted it firmly into her bun.

Honeysuckle and Nuanchun worked together in perfect harmony. In a short period of time, they transformed Feng Qiongzhu from a beggar into the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

When Feng Qiongzhu took out an extremely sharp dagger from her worn-out clothes, Rendong's eyes widened. She asked in confusion, "Where did you get this dagger?"

Feng Qiongzhu responded calmly, "Just before leaving, I snatched it from a guard."

Honeysuckle's face twitched as she heard this: "Where are you going to hide the dagger? You are so petite, it seems hard to find a suitable place to hide it. Hmm...how about I find a piece of cloth and tie it around your calf? Then lower the hem of your skirt and no one will find it."

After hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu nodded thoughtfully and said softly, "Just do as you say."

After saying that, she gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out curiously.

She had never seen the outside world since she was reborn from under the cliff.

After being rescued by Yun Kaizhou, he has been hiding in his quiet courtyard, as if isolated from the world.

Looking at the streets of the small town in front of me, there are very few pedestrians on the street, and it seems a bit deserted.

Occasionally, the cries of street vendors add a bit of vitality to the small town.

The carriage they were riding in was particularly eye-catching in this small town, as if it was a wealthy family outing.

Perhaps it is because this town is too remote and there are few wealthy families that it stands out.

On both sides of the street, many weather-beaten farm men were driving ox carts slowly forward, as if they were coming to the town to buy some daily necessities for their families.

Feng Qiongzhu observed the lives of these people intently, and she found that although their lives were simple, they were full of truth and warmth.

The carriage moved forward through the narrow streets of the town, and the wheels made a creaking sound.

Feng Qiongzhu lay in the gap of the car curtain, concentrating on admiring the outside world, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Since her soul had been wandering for several years, she hadn't experienced the strong atmosphere of human life for a long time.

As the carriage moved away from the town, the number of pedestrians on the road became increasingly sparse.

The driver also whipped the horse to speed up, and the carriage quickly drove into a dark and deep bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest is quiet and mysterious, with only a narrow and winding path running through it.

"Girl, please sit tight and don't look outside. We are now seven or eight kilometers away from the town. It's a bit remote, so you need to be careful. You can see there are mountains all around us. These are where bandits gather." Honeysuckle warned with a serious face.

After saying that, he tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, and even Nuanchun beside him also held a dagger tightly in his hand as a precaution.

Feng Qiongzhu's expression was as tense as a string. She took a deep breath and tried hard to calm her extreme inner tension.

This kind of scene was not unfamiliar to her.

Suddenly, there was a sharp and piercing sound of birds chirping and flapping wings above the carriage.

The guard outside the car whispered, "Be careful, something's wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu reached out for the sharp dagger tied to her calf without hesitation, and instantly entered a state of high alert.

At this moment, a long and sharp neighing sound was heard from the horse, and four or five men in black suddenly rushed over from the front.

These men in black were obviously well prepared; their movements were swift and orderly, and they were clearly well-trained.

The two secret guards sitting at the front of the car reacted extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, they drew the long swords at their waists and swung the swords down.

They were like ghosts, working in perfect harmony and each of their strikes was deadly.

He coldly harvested the heads of the men in black, and the bright red blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing on the lush green bamboos all around.

The speed was so fast that even Feng Qiongzhu, who had experienced fighting on the battlefield, was amazed.

Feng Qiongzhu tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, even though she had no power at the moment.

But she knew that if it came to the last resort, she could use this dagger to protect herself at the critical moment.

Honeysuckle pointed at the guard beside him and explained, "He is the top killer in our Dark Guard Battalion. Don't worry, young lady. With him here, we will be able to arrive at the villa safely."

The battle was over quickly and all the men in black fell in a pool of blood.

The driver and the guards quickly began to clean up the scene, disposing of the bodies of the men in black and the bloodstained bamboos, and carefully covering up the remaining bloodstains on the ground.

The two men moved skillfully, obviously accustomed to such scenes.

Honeysuckle leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice, "They have all undergone rigorous training and know how to erase any traces of the crime scene and not leave any clues."

Feng Qiongzhu nodded, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated.

She didn't want to reveal her whereabouts for the time being.

It seems that with these people around her, she can feel at ease.

The two secret guards got back into the car, and the whole scene seemed to have returned to the tranquility before the battle.

The carriage was parked in the middle of the path. A cool breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled. The faint smell of blood lingered in the air, making it particularly eerie.

Feng Qiongzhu saw that they had finished processing and asked, "Did you find any clues on those bodies?"

"After careful inspection and search, we did not find any items that could prove their identity, either inside or outside their clothes. There were no obvious marks on their bodies. These should be professional killers. We are currently unable to determine which forces they are from."

"Then let's keep going. How far is it to the villa?" Feng Qiongzhu stretched his body, rubbed his waist and asked.

The driver replied, "There are still more than 20 kilometers to go. This road is mainly mountainous and a bit difficult to walk on. Please be patient, girl."

Feng Qiongzhu nodded and said helplessly: "Okay, Nuanchun, please massage my waist. The jolting of the carriage is making my bones almost fall apart. I should have taken out all the quilts from the bed and put them in the carriage. It was a mistake..."

"Girl, lie down for a while. I'll give you a massage."

"Okay, give me a press."

Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but look at Ren Dong and asked curiously, "Aren't you eliminated from the Dark Guard Camp and forced to become my maid? You know such a secret internal secret?"

Honeysuckle's expression froze instantly, and then he smiled smugly, "I joined the Dark Guard Camp when I was seven or eight years old, so of course I know all these things. Which of the brothers in the camp doesn't like me? Also, which bastard said that I was eliminated from the Dark Guard Camp? If I find out who it is, I will definitely castrate him!"

Feng Qiongzhu: “…”
