Unforeseen Circumstance

The journey was much too far.

However, the coachman clenched his teeth and decided to accept this offer when Lu Liangwei offered to pay double the fare.

Lu Liangwei bought some dried food before getting onto the horse-drawn carriage.

Once everything was prepared, she got in.

The coachman began driving the carriage and went toward the exit of the little town, heading for the imperial capital.

Lu Liangwei's tense mood finally started calming down slowly.

Barring any surprises along the way, speeding along this path would take at most eight days to reach the imperial capital.

She gently breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.

However, the carriage had yet to reach the exit of the little town when they were met by an unforeseen circumstance. There was the sound of horse hooves galloping toward them from afar and soon a group of bandits brandishing swords was rushing toward the town with savage looks on their faces.
