Soon, Eunuch Xu realized something was wrong; Zhou Wanwan was running even faster than them this Zhou Wanwan.

How is that possible?

Sitting in the carriage, Eunuch Xu stared wide-eyed and said, "Zhou Wanwan, how come you're running faster than us?"

Zhou Wanwan waved to him and said, "Goodbye Eunuch Xu!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the carriage suddenly accelerated, at a terrifying speed. The other carriages watched as it sped away in a cloud of dust.

From behind came a chorus of curses. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?! So what if you have a carriage? You're driving like you're rushing to your death!"

"So much dust? Just how fast is that carriage going?"

Sitting in the car, Eunuch Xu vomited uncontrollably. "Ugh... ugh... ugh... Help! I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.

The carriage sped up faster and faster, leaving only a blur in its wake.

The Great Qi sat in his carriage, looking out the window, and said, "Eunuch Xu is too slow. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

The second princess said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to send Eunuch Xu to mess with Zhou Wanwan? What if something goes wrong?"

The Third Princess sneered, "So what if something happens? What does it have to do with us? That little girl is too arrogant; she deserves to be taught a lesson."

The seventh princess sat silently to the side when she suddenly saw a carriage speeding by.

The prince was startled and asked, "What was that thing that just darted past? I didn't see it clearly at all!"

The coachman outside said, "It looks like a carriage. It's going way too fast!"

The crown prince frowned and said, "This is too dangerous. I wonder whose carriage it is? This is outrageous."

Then they heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from a distance.

The coachman shouted, "Hey, you carriage over there, what are you trying to do? Stop! Stop right now!"

Eunuch Xu was now completely limp and unable to utter a single word; he vomited repeatedly.

Then they saw the carriage hurtling towards the prince's carriage.

"Bang!" The two carriages collided head-on, and the carriages were smashed to pieces.

The prince was sent flying by the impact, crashing heavily to the ground and breaking his arm.

The third princess was pinned down by the horse, and the second princess fared no better, breaking her leg in the fall.

Zhao Mingzhu fared no better; she fell into a coma.

The seventh princess trembled with fear; she was quite lucky, though, she only suffered a fright.

The coachman was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. "What happened? How did the horse on the other side bump into us?"

Zhou Wanwan then slowly walked over and said, "Oh! I thought you had already arrived at the Zhao residence! I didn't expect you to still be here! What are you doing?"

The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Didn't you see my arm is broken? You know medicine, quickly take a look at it for me."

The second princess cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face, "It hurts so much, Zhou Wanwan! I think my leg is broken! Please help me check my leg!"

Zhao Mingzhu slowly woke up and said, "Where are we? Ouch, my back, my back hurts so much!"

The third princess didn't wake up for a long time. She felt like she had been crushed. "Help! Someone save me! Where did this horse come from? Is it still alive?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at these people and said:

"Saving you is no problem, but there will be a corresponding price to pay!"

You wouldn't let me save you for nothing, would you?

The Great Qi snorted coldly and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you've gone too far! All you ever talk about is money. Are you obsessed with money?"

Show it to us right now, or I'll punish you.

Zhou Wanwan smacked him on the head hard and said, "What do I owe you? What do I owe you? Why should I treat you for free? Who do you think you are?"

The Great Qi was so angry that his face turned red.

"Zhou Wanwan, don't go too far, or I'll punish you."

If I survive, I will make sure you suffer.

Zhou Wanwan squatted on the ground and looked at him, saying, "So, does the Crown Prince mean that I absolutely cannot let you live today?"

The Great Qi roared, "What I mean is, you rescued me, and I will repay you in the future!"

Zhou Wanwan picked at her ear and said:

"You scared me to death, and you're going to repay me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

I'm six years old this year, okay? You think you can fool me with empty promises? No way!

The Great Qi was speechless; Zhou Wanwan was truly impervious to reason this Zhou Wanwan.

Finally, Zhao Mingzhu said:

Zhou Wanwan, how much money do you want?

Logically speaking, this place is very close to the main road, so why hasn't anyone come here yet?

Zhou Wanwan chuckled. This place was indeed quite close to the official road, but it wasn't the official road after all.

The Old Scholar Tree has been blocked off at both ends, which must be very difficult for others to block the road.

But for them, blocking the road is very simple.

All we need to do is move those large rocks down, and both sides will be blocked by them, so there's no way anyone can come here now.

Zhou Wanwan sat down next to him, took out an apple and said:

"Ms. Zhao, how much would you like me to charge for treating your back?"

By the way, there's been a rockfall here, so both roads are blocked. It looks like we won't be able to get out for the next few days.

Indeed, the Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree were moving stones on the mountain, and the more they moved, the more interesting it became, until they moved all the big stones down the mountain.

The Old Ancestor, while moving the stones, exclaimed, "This is so much fun! This is so interesting! Let's see who's the best!"

The Old Scholar Tree sneered, "I've moved more stones than you, and they're higher than yours."

The Old Ancestor retorted defiantly, "So what? I refuse to believe I can't beat you today."

The trees behind them also began to be moved.

When Zhou Wanwan saw it, the stones on both sides were almost piled up into mountains.

Zhou Wanwan quickly said:

"Stop! Don't move it anymore. You two are almost ten thousand years old combined, why are you acting like children?"

It's easy for you to move here, but it'll be a hassle to move back later."

The Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor smiled at each other.

Those two just love to play and fool around; they just can't stop.

Those who were about to take this path were dumbfounded. "What's going on? There weren't this many stones when I passed by yesterday!"

"Don't even mention that there weren't this many stones when I passed by yesterday; there weren't even this many stones when I left this morning! Where did all these stones come from?"

"Could all of these be fallen rocks?"

"Do these stones look like fallen rocks? Are fallen rocks this big?"

"Who knows? Did a rock fall from the sky?"

"Never mind all that, hurry up and find the magistrate! This road has to be opened up eventually."

There's a county government here called Xin'an County. Upon receiving the news, the Xin'an County frowned and said:

Are you dreaming in broad daylight?

Who would be so bored as to put so many stones in the road and block it up?

Someone suddenly came to report:

"Your Excellency, something terrible has happened!"

I heard that the Crown Prince, the Second Princess, the Third Princess, and the Seventh Princess were all in that carriage, and now the carriage is in the rubble.
