"I roughly understand! It was the residents around Baidi City who knew that major changes were about to occur in Baidi City, so they did this behavior to warn the merchants who later warned them to stay away from Baidi City!"

Madam Qiao trembled slightly and said in disbelief: "Why do you need notification from nearby residents for such a big event? The Bai family even sent us an invitation some time ago..."

"As I expected, the Bai family should have gathered all the people in Baidi City, and nanny, we forgot something from the beginning."

Liu Ruohuan looked at Madam Qiao, whose face was slightly panicked, and continued, "The Qiao family convoy once delayed the trip for several days in the mountain to rescue my lady and me. If it was not as expected, it was because of the time difference of just a few days that the people who set the traps mistakenly thought that all the people had entered Baidi City. Their advice was not aimed at us, but at the normal business trips in the future."

Baidi Mountain above the sea of ​​clouds is lush and majestic, and its unique lonely peaks and ridges are continuous, becoming a magnificent mountain and sea wonder in Shu.

The road up the mountain is buried deep in the vast forest, making the entire road leading to Baidi City quiet and secluded.

When Ning Zhiyuan and his party were halfway through, someone could not stand the hardships of climbing the mountain and bent down and said breathlessly: "This Baidi City is really strange. A good city is not built on the flat ground, so they must be built on the mountain."

"That's right, this city is built halfway up the mountain. In the future, we will not be able to die when we go back to our husband's house to visit relatives?"

"Young Master Ning, why don't we turn it back and let the Qiao family share our servants and carriages before going up the mountain?"

"Yes, yes, this mountain road has been winding upwards, so exhausting me."

Ning Zhiyuan turned around and looked at the tired young men, with a gloomy face.

He cursed in his heart, but had to smile and comfort everyone, "Everyone, we had been delaying some time on the road before. If we delayed our trip today, we might not be able to reach Baidi City before dark. Brothers, we have to think clearly. If the four ladies of the Bai family held a banquet to entertain heroes from all directions today and picked out whom we might have failed."

“…… what Mr. Ning said makes sense.”

After a discussion without any nutrition, everyone accepted Ning Zhiyuan's proposal to go up the mountain as soon as possible and set off on their itinerary to Baidi City again.

However, when the team moved forward less than a hundred steps, they began to smell a stench coming from above the mountain road.

The faster they were moving, the more they felt the stench coming and the scent became stronger.

The stench caused several people to be unable to bear to vomit on the spot. Ning Zhiyuan had no choice but to stop everyone and prepare to explore the source of the smell.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

A pretty and cute girl suddenly appeared in front of the road, looked at the lost young men with curious eyes, and spoke out for inquiries.

She was wearing a light pink dress, with a pair of childish eyes on her white face, as crystal clear as two crystal grapes.

Ning Zhiyuan looked at her outfit and suddenly remembered something, "Look at your outfit, you look like a member of the Bai family?"

"Brothers also know about the Bai family?"

The girl smiled slightly, her lips curled like a quiet crescent moon.

"Xiaoyu, I am a servant of the Bai family."

The first time I saw the Bai family along the way, Ning Zhiyuan and the young men breathed a sigh of relief for the first time. Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "I and everyone have heard of the Baidi birthday banquet before. I came here to celebrate Baidi's birthday. Unfortunately, I encountered a thief on the way and lost my birthday gift."

The girl waved her hands and said tenderly and cutely: "It's okay. Grandma has already instructed Xiaoyu to treat the people who come to Baidi City to celebrate their birthdays. It doesn't matter if it's a birthday gift or something."

Ning Zhiyuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the servant of the Bai family was so easy to talk to.

But seeing this girl who is not old and who is about thirteen or fourteen years old, is she really a servant sent by the Bai family to pick up customers?

Although he had questions, Ning Zhiyuan felt that having a cute girl at this time was better than leading a group of fools.

The girl from the Bai family who suddenly appeared won the favor of a group of young men in an instant. Everyone commented that she was smart and charming, and she was a rare beauty.

The girl lowered her head and pulled the corner of her clothes shyly, "Xiaoyu is just an ordinary maid from the Bai family. The ladies are the real beauty of heaven and beautiful. Xiaoyu's sisters also say that the four ladies are fairies who fell from the sky into the mortal world, and each of them is graceful and beautiful, and they have grown into the beauty of the world."

"Ha, the beauty of the world..."

The girl's words made the young masters stunned, and she almost wanted to witness the appearance of the four sisters of the Bai family with their own eyes.

However, as soon as the team set out on the itinerary to go up the mountain, someone suddenly asked awkwardly: "Xiaoyu, don't you think the smell in the mountain wind is a little strange, it seems that there is a stench in the air?"

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then answered innocently: "No, Xiaoyu didn't smell anything. Isn't this an ordinary mountain wind?"

Seeing the girl answering this, Ning Zhiyuan and the young men looked at each other, wondering if they were not accommodating to the local conditions and could not get used to the mountain winds of the Bashu area.

Just when they were still asking something, the girl urged at the front of the team: "Brothers, come quickly. If you don't hurry up, Xiaoyu won't wait for you."

Ning Zhiyuan sighed lightly and walked forward with the young men.

However, after walking for a while, a sudden scene suddenly appeared in front of them.

Dozens of broken bodies were placed squarely in the middle of the road up the mountain, emitting a strong stench, and the skin was already rotten.

The messy hair was mixed with blood-covered mud, and the dead bodies opened their blood-filled eyes and their mouths were round, as if they had suffered unimaginable pain before their death.

"This! This..."

The young men all changed their faces and their pupils were shocked. Ning Zhiyuan, who had always been steady, was stunned and stunned, and his chin did not fall to the ground.

Ning Zhiyuan was the first to react, "Let's go down the mountain... hurry up, notify the Qiao family's convoy and ask Miss Qiao to handle these things."

"No...yes! I really didn't expect that someone would dare to commit such evil deeds in the territory of the Han and Tang dynasties. It was a sin that was so great that it was hard tolerate!"

Before they were about to leave here, the young masters did not forget to blame the culprit for doing this.

However, just as the group of people turned around, they saw the smiling girl Xiaoyu, standing behind them, blocking their way.

A few people didn't notice Xiaoyu's difference, and thought she hadn't seen the tragic situation ahead, so they hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu... You go down the mountain with us. There is Miss Qiao there, so they will definitely not let these evil thieves be arrogant and disrupt the peace of Baidi City."

"Xiaoyu is really thankful to all the brothers for their kindness."

Xiaoyu burst out laughing, revealing two rows of white teeth like broken jade.

"But these are all done by Xiaoyu alone..."
