Old Lady Niu, who was driving the carriage, pulled the reins and looked up at the mountain following Cuixiang's hand.

“Are they little colorful flags?”

Old Madam Niu frowned, squinted her eyes and looked hard towards the mountain.

However, her eyes couldn't see clearly and she could only see scattered colors jumping around.

Green Bamboo, who was sitting in the carriage carrying the grain, poked his head out and looked curiously towards the mountain.

"Wow~ The colorful flags are pretty nice."

"That's not a flag. It looks like a colorful little man walking down the mountain."

Cuixiang has better eyesight, and she can vaguely see what looks like a human figure moving.

"They're wearing colorful clothes, and they look really good." Lu Zhu exclaimed enviously.

Young girls have no resistance to these bright and beautiful colors.

"Madam, please go and take a look. I have never seen such bright colors."

Cuixiang pouted and looked at Old Madam Niu coquettishly.

If they drove the carriage slower, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they could just see the colorful mass coming down.

She had never seen such bright colors in the fabric shop and was so curious.

Madam Niu frowned slightly and said, "Just take a look from a distance. Don't get too close. Don't forget your status. Be careful."

This place is remote, and I don't think there will be any officials or anything like that, so just take a look.

Normally in the village, they never go out. The two girls stay in the house every day, and they are very anxious.

She wanted to live alone, but she also wanted someone to serve her...

"Don't worry, old lady. I will watch from the carriage and will definitely not go near."

When Cuixiang heard what Old Lady Niu meant, she knew that she would be asked to take a look, so she immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded vigorously.

When Luzhu heard this, she didn't go back into the carriage. Instead, she lifted the curtain, stuck her head out and stared at the mountain in surprise.

......

"Brother Jiang, we found all kinds of foreigners in strange costumes on the mountain, and they are moving down the mountain. Should we arrest them all?"

After the reconnaissance guard discovered this special situation, he immediately reported it to Jiang Xu.

This kind of clothes looks quite convenient for walking, but I don’t know which country this person is from.

Jiang Xu, who was dozing with his eyes squinted, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Foreigners?"

"Which country is it from?"

Jiang Xu was extremely annoyed. Instead of waiting for the Xiao family to come, a foreigner came instead. Why were there so many things to deal with?

He would rather have nothing on the mountain, and just let him guard it for two days and then return to Beijing.

At this moment, he was extremely envious of those who followed Zhao Cheng back to Beijing.

Unfortunately, Zhao Cheng did not bring him back to Beijing, but took Sang Dasheng back to report the situation.

He also wanted to go back to the capital. It was hard and tiring to stay here, and his head was hanging on his belt and could be taken away at any time.

It was said that all the Xiao family members were eaten by wild beasts, but Zhao Cheng didn't believe it and asked him to take fifty brothers to defend the foot of the mountain.

The scout guard shook his head and said, "I can't tell. This costume is very strange. None of us have seen it before."

The guards who were in charge of reconnaissance with him talked to each other and none of them had ever seen such strange costumes.

Jiang Xu frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and took two steps towards the foot of the mountain.

He looked up at the various colors moving downwards, feeling confused.

How come foreigners suddenly appeared on the mountain?

They searched inch by inch in the mountains for the Xiao family and never saw these outsiders at all.

But judging from the situation, these outsiders might have come up the mountain later, after all, they were two days slower than them.

After a moment, "Come here."

Jiang Xu casually summoned a guard and told him,

"Ride back to the capital as fast as you can and report this to Lord Zhao. There are foreigners wearing strange clothes and various colors on the mountain. This may be a bad sign."

"We will do our best to intercept them. Sir Zhao, please send support as soon as possible..."

It would be better to ask for more people. Even if he was given fifty people to guard the foot of the mountain, there would be no way for them to take shifts.

He was so thirsty from the sun every day that all the palace guards were almost darker than Emperor Wu of Liang.

"Yes!"

The eunuch who was called showed joy on his face, jumped onto his horse swiftly, flicked his whip, and disappeared in front of everyone.

Jiang Xu looked at the guards who were riding their horses at full speed following orders, his eyes full of envy.

Unfortunately, he couldn't send himself back.

The scout guard asked solemnly,

"Brother Jiang, should we get the archers ready now and have the brothers intercept with all their strength?"

Jiang Xu turned around and rolled his eyes at the reconnaissance guard, "Have you forgotten your mission?"

The reconnaissance guard was stunned and blinked at Jiang Xu, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

Is this interception or not? Can't you give a definite answer?

Jiang Xu looked up at the colorful moving figures that were getting closer and closer, "Our mission is to guard the Xiao family. What does the outsider have to do with us?"

Who knows what special abilities the foreigners have? What if we can’t defeat them in a fight?

"Then just let them go?"

"Let those few people go and intercept them, and the others stay where they are."

Jiang Xu pointed to the five guards standing in a row on the right, his eyes flickering slightly.

These bastards are clamoring every day about who can kill more private soldiers of the Xiao family. If you have the energy, let them use it.

He has been annoyed with these people for a long time. They have no skills at all and they just keep boasting.

They always go against him. It would be best if they were all dead to avoid delaying his attempt to fish in troubled waters.

The scout nodded and immediately walked over to give instructions to the guards.

Jiang Xu looked at the guards who were excitedly heading up the mountain with swords in hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

........

Every member of the Xiao family held a cup of Fat House Happy Water and walked down the mountain while drinking.

The two mountains behind were bald by the imperial guards, making the road much easier to walk on, and they walked much faster.

After Lin Yiran ate the tiger meat, she completely let herself go.

All kinds of snacks and colas were thrown towards Xiao Yunzhan.

She enjoyed the meal, but the Xiao family members were all nervous.

Except for the two silly kids who were happily eating with Lin Yiran, everyone else was very nervous.

The third sister-in-law was the most confused. Looking at these foods she had never seen before, and then looking at Lin Yiran who knew how to eat everything, she was struggling in her heart.

On the one hand, she suspected that Lin Yiran had some connection with the gods, but on the other hand, she couldn't believe that the gods would have any intersection with mortals.

But she didn't dare to communicate with other people, for fear of scaring her family, so she could only observe Lin Yiran secretly.

Xiao Yunzhan finished the Coke in his hand in two gulps, raised his sword and said to everyone with a serious look,

"Everyone be careful, there are ambushes at the foot of the mountain."
