Ye Shiqi winked at her father and said,
"Daddy, now that we are already here, let's do as I say. Our two carriages will proceed forward, quickly, with Brother Wang and his guard.
As for the other cars and the food, after we pass, send a message for them to go back."
Hongji... How had he forgotten that his young daughter had special abilities? He had hired the caravans precisely to be less conspicuous. If there really were thieves ahead, their small group might just avoid the crisis!
Hongji turned and instructed Li Zhihao to do as his daughter had suggested.
"Okay," Li Zhihao went to arrange for the employees sitting in the carriage to get down and share a horse with their group of guards.
He also called down his young son to sit in the carriage with his aunt.
Li Zhihao paid in full, instructing the caravan that once they sent the signal after leaving, they should head back without concerning themselves with anything else that happened on the road.
