Chapter 12 Fox’s Tail

“Why?”

“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”

“But I will worry about you.”

“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”

Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally.

“You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”

“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”

Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.

“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”

Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.

“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.

She was his daughter who was born in a large, official family. He thought that a lack of ostentation would embarrass him.

“It’s my fault. Yesterday I selected two competent maids to accompany Muge to go to Nancheng prefecture.” An said.

The two tall maids behind An stepped forward and said, “Best wishes, the eldest Miss.”

Su Muge glanced at the two maids, pulling her hat and getting into the carriage.

The carriage was fast and came to the street after a while. It was the first time to go out after her time-space traveling to this world.

Su Muge opened the curtain slightly and looked at the scenery in the street. The street of Shunyang prefecture was so spacious that it could accommodate at least two big carriages passing by in parallel. It’s already bright. There were hawkers and people coming out to shop on both sides of the street. What a bustling scene.

Su Muge didn’t put down the curtain until they had been around the city gate. She seemed to have enjoyed the scenery on the street. In fact, she was also remembering the route on the way, just in case of accidents.

The two maids looked harmless, sitting quietly.

It should take nearly three days to travel from Shunyang to Nancheng along the official road.

Su Muge closed her eyes leaning in the carriage but she was not really sleeping but staying alert.

The one-day journey was smooth and they rested in a small town in the night.

“I don’t need you, and you can go.”

“Yes, Miss.”

In the inn, after two maids left, Su Muge took a comfortable bath nakedly. Before going to bed, she placed the tables and chairs to certain positions, so that there would be some noise if someone came in.

She had a sound sleep.

The next morning, they had breakfast in the inn and continued their journey.

Leaving the town, they would go south and they could arrive at a big town that was closest to the Nancheng prefecture before the evening.

“flip-flops…”

Unfortunately, on their halfway, it suddenly thundered with howling wind.

Su Muge opened the curtain and saw it’s completely dark. It’s only a while after the noon.

“It’s going to have a rainstorm. Let’s go to find a shelter.”

“Yes, Miss.

The carriage sped up and it’s getting darker and darker in the carriage. Su Muge sensed that something was wrong.

She opened the curtain and saw that the carriage was going into a forest. This was not an official road at all and it was impossible to find any shelter here!

“Stop! Change direction and leave here now!”

Her crying was blown away by the wind. She wanted to catch the driver, but suddenly she was caught by the two maids. They dragged the whole body of Muge back to the carriage.

There came a ray of dark light in Muge’s eyes.

Damn it!

“What are you doing!”

“The eldest Miss, enjoy yourself!” The two maids pressed her tightly and the carriage was stopping.

“Everything is OK?” The driver asked.

“Come in. Hurry up.”

“Haha, I’ve been waiting for it for long.” The driver laughed indecently. He lifted the curtain and jumped into the carriage, with three bodyguards behind him.

“Be quick, it’s going to rain. Good for that bastard.” A maid said.

In the dark, Su Muge vaguely saw the lewd smile of the driver who was about to pounce on her.

When he was close to her, Su Muge lifted her leg and kicked him on his private part heavily.

“Ah!”

The driver screamed in pain and fell out of the carriage.

Su Muge lifted her two legs again and kicked the two maids on their heads heavily.

“Ah!”

The two maids became feeble. Su Muge grasped the opportunity to kick them out of the carriage, and she sat at the driver’s position, kicking the horse’s back. The horse started to run fast painfully.

“Catch her, catch her!”

After a while, the bodyguards came to themselves and were about to chase Su Muge, but she had been far away from them.

The rain fell on her face and eyes. Meanwhile, the wind blew so strongly that she could hardly open her eyes, which made Su Muge see nothing clearly.

“Bang!”

A thunder flashed and she noticed a shabby temple, so she drove the horse to the temple.

The shabby temple was dark and creepy. Su Muge had no choice but to run into the temple to avoid the bad weather.

As soon as she entered the temple, a gloomy, cold wind came to her…
