Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

After rushing around, Yun Linlin finally managed to persuade her parents, and then she also managed to get her sister-in-law and brother to come along.

Along with the seven or eight sturdy servants who came with his sister-in-law's dowry, the group arrived at the intersection of the three counties before noon.

Before they even got close to the big locust tree at the foot of Fengling Mountain, the oxcart suddenly stopped moving.

Yun Huai'an gripped the reins with one hand, craned his neck to peek ahead, then pulled his neck back, his voice extremely low, "Are you... are you sure that imperial envoy will pass through here? That he'll be robbed by bandits here?"

He swallowed hard, tilted his chin forward, and his lips turned pale.

"I have a feeling that it's uncertain whether we'll even meet the imperial envoy, and those people in front of us look like bandits."

Could it be that they were so unlucky that the imperial envoy didn't encounter the bandits, but they did?

Yun Linlin and the others followed his gaze and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Not far ahead, under the big locust tree, a dozen or so burly men sat haphazardly.

They were all burly and strong; some were gnawing on dry rations, while others were sharpening knives.

The one closest to him had a long, slanted scar on his face, and a long knife hung at his waist, its scabbard gleaming.

Both Liang Dahua and the new bride Liu Yinyue had trembling lower abdomens and kept shrinking back.

Yun Zide wanted to find a place to hide.

The seven or eight servants following behind him dared not utter a sound.

"Dad, let's retreat a bit, retreat further away. Let's talk somewhere they can't see us."

Yun Zide's voice trembled.

Yun Linlin also pulled her father's reins back.

This time, Yun Huai'an surprisingly didn't scold her. He drove the oxcart back several steps until it stopped behind a patch of low bushes by the roadside, his heart still pounding like a drum.

Liang Dahua whispered, "Dad, Dad, let's get out of here before they find us! We can always come back another day. If we lose our lives, we lose everything!"

Liu Yinyue gritted her teeth, wanting to say something but then shut her mouth.

Yun Linlin immediately objected, "If we leave now, we won't be able to meet the imperial envoy again..."

Does her mother think that imperial envoy gets robbed by bandits here every day? And he can come back again? That's hilarious...

Yun Zide frowned, also hesitating.

Although he is now the son-in-law of the Liu family and has his brother-in-law in the capital to rely on, he has clearly felt that the Liu family looks down on him recently. If he goes to the capital next year, his brother-in-law may not be able to treat him well either.

Rather than being passive, it's better to make some arrangements and preparations in advance.

The imperial envoy that my younger sister mentioned would be a very good choice.

If they had made connections beforehand, he would have had some influence in the capital, and his brother-in-law would have looked at him with new respect.

Therefore, he cannot afford to lose this opportunity.

"Father, my little sister is right. Let's wait a little longer; we can't miss this opportunity."

Seeing her son like this, Liang Dahua didn't dare to persuade him anymore and huddled in the car without saying a word.

Liu Yinyue is an extremely intelligent woman. If she didn't have some unspeakable difficulties, she wouldn't have married into the Yun family.

But now that she's married into the family, they must be of one mind. She wouldn't dare to embarrass her husband in public.

They were all crouching on the truck bed, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible, their fists clenched, their palms sweaty...

What they didn't see was that behind those dozen or so burly men, Yun Huaikang was stuffing a pastry into Yun Shengsheng's hand and handing her a water pouch to drink from.

"Honey, are you tired?"

Yun Shengsheng puffed out her cheeks and ate the snacks in big bites.

I'm not tired at all; I'm incredibly excited! I'm about to meet the imperial envoy of this era!

I've heard that this imperial envoy, Wang Yuanqiu, is quite upright, except when it comes to his saviors, namely Yun Linlin's family, he'll go easy on them a little.

[Alas, what a pity. He misjudged people. Later, when his own daughter was stolen from her fiancé, he was heartbroken and sought revenge against the Yun Linlin family. Unfortunately, by then, the Yun Linlin family was at the height of their power, and he was no match for them. In the end, he was framed and demoted. His own daughter also died young, consumed by grief.]

[I'm now helping my father steal the opportunity from the female lead's family. It's kind of like doing justice, at least good people get good rewards!]

Yun Huaikang chuckled and patted her head.

Although he wasn't a good person, he wasn't too bad either. As long as this imperial envoy didn't get in his way in the future, he wouldn't do anything to him.

He said to Wu Changchun, "We've been walking all morning, let's rest here for a while."

Wu Changchun and his group were not actually tired, but they all rested and ate.

Yun Shengsheng looked at the group of burly men with a gleam in her eyes.

I thought I'd have to fake a stomachache, get lost, and chase butterflies to lure my dad and the others onto this road, but before I could even unleash my combo, my teammates gave me the assist.

[The ladies' teacher, Mrs. Xu, happens to live in the next county and is passing through here. What do you call that? You call it when God helps you, even providing an excuse for you.]

Hehehe, the timing is perfect. Now all I have to do is sit here calmly and wait...

[If Dad has to leave before the appointed time, I'll pretend to take a dump. I absolutely have to buy enough time to get him rescued!]

Yun Huaikang's lips twitched, and he helplessly curled his lips into a smile.

My little girl just left the county town this morning, and she certainly managed to fool them quite a bit.

The little boy pointed forward and said, "Daddy, there's a deer in front of me! I want it! I want it!"

It wasn't fully light yet, so we couldn't really see if there were any deer ahead.

But when the girl shouted, everyone on the bus craned their necks to look ahead, and the cows involuntarily moved forward.

By the time I came to my senses, we had already passed several intersections.

As soon as the speed slowed down, the little girl pointed ahead and exclaimed, "It's over there, it's over there, it's right ahead!"

So the three oxcarts were thus propelled around by a non-existent deer for the entire morning.

Yun Shengsheng felt rather embarrassed.

But because she was young and didn't know any better, no one would really take her nonsense seriously.

However, the people from Wu Changchun's side are still sighing and muttering under that locust tree.

"Sigh, what a pity. Venison is so delicious when roasted. Just sprinkle some salt on it, and when the skin is charred and the meat is tender, tear off a strip...tsk, the oil drips down your fingers."

"We chased after it several times but couldn't catch it; that deer ran faster than the army's scouts."

Several veterans nearby, who had been nagging him, also got hungry and began to break open their dry rations and stuff them into their mouths.

Yun Shengsheng lowered her head guiltily and focused intently on eating the pastry in her hand.

Suddenly, Yun Ziyan moved closer to Yun Huaikang and whispered.

"Father, I saw my eldest uncle and aunt. They were parked not far away, with quite a few people with them."
