Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1070: Chapter 980: Hidden Guard 3

The gist of the blood-written letter was to threaten Mr. Zhen, saying that if he dared to take his servants to disturb the people again, next time, she would come for the heads of everyone in the Zhen Family.

Moreover, the most arrogant thing about this big bandit is that the letter was written with Mr. Zhen’s own blood. Mr. Zhen didn’t even know how he was bled until he felt the pain from the wound.

This bandit was so arrogant and elusive that the Zhen Family was scared and didn’t dare to continue their investigation. They could only accept their bad luck. Although their family suffered a significant loss of gold and jewels this time, their properties and land remained, so they wouldn’t fall into complete poverty all at once.

At this moment, Wei Shuangshuang, who had taken all the gold and jewels from the Zhen Family’s small treasury, was sitting on a tall horse, flanked by a fine carriage pulled by two majestic chestnut horses, with Zhao Zhengfeng inside.

Surrounding the two were more than a dozen young robust men, riding horses and forming a circle around Zhao Zhengfeng and Wei Shuangshuang.

These strong men were dressed as guards, appearing very capable, but no one knew that they were actually mountain bandits. They usually didn’t commit serious evil acts, and whenever they robbed, they only took money without killing.

Because these mountain bandits never harmed anyone and their hideout was well-hidden, the government tried several times to capture them but failed, so they didn’t pay much attention, allowing the bandits to live quite freely.

But perhaps their luck had run out, for suddenly, one day, a disaster appeared, and without a word, beat them up, demanding to recruit them as subordinates. When they refused, they got beaten again until they cried out for mercy.

Don’t be fooled by these people looking so mighty on their horses now; their bodies were bruised all over from being beaten by Wei Shuangshuang, though the injuries weren’t severe, they were painful.

Wei Shuangshuang knew the Emperor was certainly searching for her and Zhao Zhengfeng, but he and his men would never have guessed that instead of disguising themselves as inconspicuous, pitiful farmers to sneak through, Wei Shuangshuang and Zhao Zhengfeng ostentatiously gathered a group of guards and traveled boldly in a horse-drawn carriage.

Such a grand and escorted group setting out wouldn’t easily be associated with fugitives; rather, they looked more like a group of playboys out for leisure.

As for the essential official permits required for crossing, being a Hidden Guard, there were numerous ways to obtain them. Wei Shuangshuang quickly handled everyone’s permits.

With that, Wei Shuangshuang boldly led a large group, along with Zhao Zhengfeng sitting in the carriage, quietly lining up at the city gate, preparing to leave the city.

The soldiers guarding the gate were very strict, and the inspections were thorough, with a particular focus on one man and one woman since Wei Shuangshuang’s real appearance and female identity had already been discovered when she escaped.

The soldiers even had painted portraits, but when Wei Shuangshuang glanced at them, she felt the portraits had an essence akin to a combination of Picasso and Van Gogh, something a commoner like her couldn’t comprehend.

Wei Shuangshuang admired the soldiers who earnestly compared the paintings with people’s faces, thinking if they really arrested someone based on those portraits, how many wrongful convictions there might be.

As Wei Shuangshuang queued, she soon reached the point where she and Zhao Zhengfeng were checked. Both had changed their outfits, now wearing exquisitely made noble attire.

Wei Shuangshuang wore a royal blue robe, with a delicate hairband on the head and a soft sword wrapped around the waist; it was Wei Shuangshuang’s original weapon, usually concealed at the waist, ideal for assassination tasks.

Zhao Zhengfeng had also been dressed by Wei Shuangshuang in a water-blue and sky-green outfit, his face pale without a trace of blood, looking sickly, his body swaying slightly as the carriage moved.

A soldier holding a portrait approached, scrutinized Wei Shuangshuang’s face, then lifted the curtain to look at the sickly pale Zhao Zhengfeng inside the carriage. Seeing they were both men, the soldier wasn’t too concerned.

He compared Wei Shuangshuang and Zhao Zhengfeng to the portraits back and forth, and also looked at the bandit guards, whom Wei Shuangshuang had forcefully recruited, routinely asking Wei Shuangshuang, ”What’s the relationship between you two? Where are you from? Where are you going?”

Wei Shuangshuang spoke in a rough voice, indistinguishable from a man’s, ”We are brothers, from Bian City. This is my elder brother, who’s a bit slow-minded by birth. We heard there’s a Divine Doctor Ye in the south, and I’m taking my brother to seek treatment.”

The soldier looked at Zhao Zhengfeng’s vacant expression, and a sympathetic look slowly appeared on his face. Such a handsome young man from a wealthy family, yet an idiot, truly pitiful, he waved them through.

Wei Shuangshuang rode her horse, with a bandit driving the carriage, the group continued on the southern official road. Wei Shuangshuang’s rebirth was not going smoothly, so she maintained her originally cold personality, speaking as little as possible.

The bandits, subdued by Wei Shuangshuang, didn’t dare initiate conversations with this disaster star, so only the sound of hoofbeats and rolling carriage wheels filled the air.

It soon reached noon, and having traveled continuously without encountering any eateries, Wei Shuangshuang had to stop by the roadside to catch some wild game for cooking. As they had a large horse-drawn carriage, there was ample space inside, so Wei Shuangshuang bought a lot of supplies, including cooking pots, eating bowls, and various seasonings.

Just when preparing to cook, it was discovered that there was a small village nearby. Wei Shuangshuang was delighted, took out some Silver, and told the original bandit leader, now her subordinate, ”Leader, go with Leader Two and Leader Three into the village to buy some chickens, and if possible, bring back a small fat lamb.”

The bandit leader, renamed Leader, dared not object, and with the Silver given by Wei Shuangshuang, he, along with Leader Two and Leader Three, went straight to the small village, while Wei Shuangshuang commanded the others to tend to the fire and cook rice.

This meal, Wei Shuangshuang prepared a lot, turning several chickens into beggar’s chicken, and the lamb, bought at a high price, was roasted whole. Meanwhile, Zhao Zhengfeng still did not eat.

Wei Shuangshuang didn’t care about Zhao Zhengfeng’s refusal to eat and simply shared the meal with the bandit guards, finishing everything cleanly before continuing their journey, camping in the wilderness at night.

Evening came, and Zhao Zhengfeng still refrained from eating, Wei Shuangshuang, as usual, devoured everything and told the others to rest. Middle of the night, the long-starved Zhao Zhengfeng was finally driven by hunger to get up and search for food, but since Wei Shuangshuang’s group had eaten all the supplies, Zhao Zhengfeng couldn’t find anything to eat.

Being utterly famished, Zhao Zhengfeng had no choice but to wake Wei Shuangshuang, indicating his hunger. Wei Shuangshuang impatiently replied, ”Master, bear with it a little longer. It’s hard to find food this late, but it will soon be daylight, and we can find something to eat then.”
