Chapter 417 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Sixty-Seven)

In the carriage, the pharmacist was changing Cui Li's appearance. This group of people were also cautious. They changed their identities when they changed places. Not only her face was changed, but these people also changed their faces.

It’s a pity that the identities used by these disguised people are not without flaws. No matter how small or insignificant the identity is, they may encounter someone who is familiar with the identity they use and be exposed.

It just so happened that their disguised identity was the Golden Flame Escort Agency that she had learned about by chance.

I just hope that what she said in the yard just now can attract the attention of those officials.

She remembered that the ancient magistrate of that county was from Shuinan County, and was a cousin of a distant cousin of her Cui family. At that time, her father was the Minister of Personnel. The ancient magistrate followed his cousin's path and came to the Cui family to meet her father, Duke Cui. It seemed that he wanted to return to his hometown Shuinan County to take up a post after his term was over. Her father did not explicitly refuse, nor did he agree, but just asked him to be a good official.

She remembered that Gu Zhixian was a Jinshi graduate, had served in the Hanlin Academy for two years, and had then served as magistrate of three counties. This year, he seemed to be returning to Beijing to report on his work. If he could be transferred to Shuinan County, he would most likely be promoted.

County Magistrate Gu should know about the Jinyan Escort Agency. She remembered that when her distant cousin returned from her parents' home, it was the Jinyan Escort Agency's chief escort who personally escorted her. This meant that her family trusted the Jinyan Escort Agency very much, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have used an unknown escort agency to escort her.

She also deliberately used a pure Liangdu accent, while these people pretended to have the accent of Shuinan County.

After the official questioned the ancient magistrate, he should have discovered something was wrong, right?

However, this group of people ran so fast that even the magistrate Gu’s men probably couldn’t catch up with them.

The man in white robe had changed into black clothes and got into the carriage.

When the man tried to tamper with her memory, Cui Li used reverse hypnosis and found out that the man's real name was Qi Xingsheng, and he was a prince.

His grandfather was the old Prince Yong of Qi, who was the uncle of the current emperor of Qi. It was not clear who Qi Xingsheng was loyal to before, but the Prince Yong’s Mansion was now loyal to the new emperor. The Prince Yong’s Mansion also contributed to Prince Ping becoming the emperor.

Cui Li pretended to be a silly lady and asked, "Husband, why do we have to pretend to be someone else?"

"Madam, the world is tough these days. You need to be extra cautious when traveling far away. Bandits are rampant along the way, and they like to rob people and steal their property. We also need to be careful about those who are targeting us with bad intentions."

"I see, my husband is wise. I am tired and will rest for a while."

Cui Li was too lazy to talk to this person and closed his eyes to rest.

Qi Xingsheng passed the time with a book.

Suddenly, someone outside the carriage said, "What bad luck! There are people blocking the road ahead. They look like bandits."

"These bandits are courting death by delaying our progress!"

The man told the maid to keep Cui Li safe and got out of the carriage.

Cui Li turned over to avoid the maid's sight, with a smile on her face. This man was being a jinx, saying that if he met bandits, he would meet bandits.

This group of secret agents participated in the kidnapping of a foreign country's royal concubine, so they were naturally good at martial arts, not to mention that they had Shuka who protected them in secret.

Cui Li pretended to be woken up, lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked outside.

Well, these bandits were all fierce and fierce-looking, holding knives and sticks, and talking big, but in the end, they couldn't withstand more than three moves from Shuka, and they all fell to the ground, shouting "Hero, spare my life!"

The contrast between the two is too great!

The bandit leader saw that the situation was not good and fled.

After Shuka stole the valuables from them, he disappeared from everyone's sight and soon threw another body on the side of the road. It was the escaped bandit leader.

"Sir, what should we do with these people?"

"Kill them all. Today is unlucky."

The men nodded and walked towards the robbers with swords drawn.

Seeing this, Cui Li lowered the curtain and pretended to be frightened and closed his eyes to rest.

The robbers who were blocking the road fell silent, they cleared the road, and the carriage began to move again.

Sleeping outdoors in the mountains at night, Cui Li never complained or asked about these people's itineraries. She seemed timid, taciturn, weak and obedient, which made these people treat her as the man's wife on the surface.

The maid carrying the lunch box entered the carriage.

"Madam, you may have your meal now."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoying. Has your husband eaten yet?"

"Don't worry, Madam. The young master is already having his meal."

So Cui Li stopped talking.

The next morning, the carriage started on its journey again.
