Hua Rujin shook her head blankly.

The two were laughing and joking along the way, as if they were being hunted down.

The man in the fancy dress tossed his hair, and said very calmly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, it's all because the king has a good attitude and stays calm in times of danger."

Hearing that he called himself the king, and just now she also heard the woman call him His Highness, presumably he is a son of the royal family of Jinling City, Hua Rujin hastily put away the dagger.

While hesitating, I saw a sharp arrow shot from a distance.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yan Huaqing forced the sharp arrow away with a folding fan, only then did he believe what the two said, and said in a broken voice, "There really is an assassin."

"Then why are you still standing there, why don't you run away?"

Hua Rujin ran away.

Seeing this, the other three also followed her and fled in a panic.

Hua Rujin asked while running, "How many assassins are there?"

"Not many, there should be a hundred or so."

The man replied calmly.

"That's not much."

Hua Rujin ran even harder.

After running for an unknown amount of time, she saw a thatched cottage and ran in first.

Time was running out, and when she arrived at the house, Hua Rujin looked around, and saw that the thatched cottage was very dilapidated, with no one living in it, so she had a quick wit, opened the window on the left, stood on the window sill and jumped down, making a messy path in the forest Come, and then turned back to the thatched hut, and ordered several people to hide together.

The man in the fancy dress obviously didn't understand her intentions, and was about to ask, Hua Rujin hissed lightly at him, and then heard a burst of dense footsteps rushing in.

"These people are like rabbits, but they run very fast."

"You are really a group of idiots, and you haven't killed any of them. How will you explain to the adults when you go back?"

"Here, they should have escaped from here."

After a few conversations, there was a sound of trampling, and then the footsteps quickly chased to the left.

After confirming that the footsteps had completely gone away, Hua Rujin hurriedly came out from a hidden corner, peeked at the open window, and then hurriedly urged the three of them, "Run."

The woman was already out of breath after fleeing all the way, and complained dissatisfiedly: "They have gone far, let's rest first."

"They'll be back."

Hua Rujin said firmly: "The road outside the window is just a cover-up of mine. If they chase after us and don't notice our traces, they will definitely react and turn back to search for the thatched cottage."

The man in Chinese clothes admired the woman's wisdom deeply, and he pulled the woman out and said, "Wu Suantou, listen to this silly girl."

"You are stupid."

Hua Rujin glared at the "His Royal Highness" angrily, walked out of the hut, and looked at the road in the mountain, only to find that there are two mountain roads in the forest.

"We're going back the way we came."

Hua Rujin pointed to the mountain road she had passed.

"That's not asking for death."

The woman said unhappily: "What if there are assassins waiting in place."

"Look at the densely packed footprints, it means that there are many people chasing them."

Hua Rujin pointed to the footprints in front of her: "We go back the same way, we can use their footprints to cover our footprints, but if they escape from other places, they can directly look for fresh footprints to search for our tracks."

"You're a genius."

Looking at another mountain road from a distance, the man in Chinese clothes suddenly realized: "Although there are some sparse footprints on that road, they are not enough to cover our tracks. If they chase after that road, we will have nowhere to escape." .”

"Then don't run away."

This time, Yan Huaqing ran ahead without hesitation.

From the analysis of the dialogues of those assassins, I am afraid that it is inseparable from the government.

Yan Huaqing didn't go back to pick up the carriage, but ran out of the woods and walked into the city along the forest path, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already dusk, and the few people were tired and hungry. From a long distance, Hua Rujin saw the banner of her own inn, quickened her pace as if looking at the rain in a severe drought, and rushed over with great strides.

When I arrived at the inn, I found that Aunt Fubofu was very busy.

"Is there still room?"

Hua Rujin thought that these two people might know Ye Chengwei, and just inquired about Zhuangyuan Lang from them, so she made a plan to take them in.

Seeing that it was the shopkeeper who came back, Uncle Fu came forward to report with a smile: "Five rooms have been rented out today, and there are three left."

Glancing at the sky outside, and at the three people in a state of embarrassment in front of her, Hua Rujin frowned and said, "Then I'll be wronged and wronged, and spend the night with this young lady."

"I won't make do with you. I'll pay five taels of silver to ask for another room alone."

The woman glanced at her with disdain.

Hua Rujin was annoyed when she heard this: "I pay ten taels."

In my aunt's territory, I'm still picky and picky.

The woman waved her hand, "I'll pay 50 taels."

Hua Rujin did not show any weakness: "I will offer 100 taels."

"200 taels."

The woman gestured two fingers chicly.

"Deal, let it go to you."

Hua Rujin counted with her fingers and easily earned 200 taels of silver. It would not be a loss if she wronged herself to walk a few extra steps home.

The woman looked puzzled: "Aren't you calling up?"

"It's too expensive to live in."

Hua Rujin casually instructed Uncle Fu: "Uncle Fu, I'm going home to sleep tonight. Miss Wu paid 200 taels of silver. You and Aunt Fu will entertain several distinguished guests."

After finishing the words, he glanced at this stupid and wealthy Miss Jingzhong meaningfully, and emphasized deliberately: "Oh, remember to collect the money first before staying in the store, don't break the rules."

After explaining, he walked away, leaving Miss Wu who was still in a mess.

"She knows the shopkeeper of the inn?"

Wu Muning looked at Yan Huaqing with puzzled eyes.

Yan Huaqing looked around, smelled the familiar smell, and nodded: "If I remember correctly, she is the shopkeeper of this inn."

"Black shop, this is simply a black shop."

Wu Muning gritted her teeth angrily.

"Miss, do you want to give me silver or a bank note?"

Fu Bo was very dissatisfied with the young lady's attitude, and asked with a frown.

"Of course it's a bank note."

Wu Muning took out the 200 taels silver note and handed it to Uncle Fu with distress.

At this time, the man in the fancy dress was full of the silly girl's voice and smile, looking at the direction she was leaving, and asked reluctantly: "Shopkeeper, where did that silly girl live?"

"Stupid girl?"

Uncle Fu was even more dissatisfied with the man's words: "Guest officer, don't talk nonsense. My shopkeeper is not stupid. I have helped the county solve many major cases these days. Even the innocent souls in Baitou Mountain rely on my shopkeeper." It was Conghui who found it for Yezhi County."

"Oh, could it be that little widow from Jiangling City, Hua Rujin?"

The man in Chinese clothes asked curiously.

"Who does the young master scold the widow?"

Aunt Fu was also displeased when she heard it, and reprimanded from the side: "My shopkeeper was framed by the Dou family at the beginning, she is pure and pure, what kind of little widow, even the magistrate and Ye Zhixian have testified for her, she is a yellow flower big girl."

"I see."

The man in Chinese clothes smiled knowingly, and immediately took out a 1000 tael silver ticket from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Fu: "I've booked this inn, and we'll be staying here for the next month."

After finishing speaking, he took out a jade card and gave it to Uncle Fu: "Please trouble the old man to go to Jingzhou Mansion for me, and let the old comrades in the state mansion immediately order the people from the inspection department to come to the inn to see me."

Uncle Fu didn't know the jade badge, so he was at a loss as to what to do.

Yan Huaqing immediately realized that the person in front of him might really be a certain prince in the palace, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly told Fu Bo: "Go quickly, otherwise the inn of your shopkeeper will have to be demolished tonight."

Hearing Mr. Yan's words, Uncle Fu didn't dare to delay any longer, and left in a hurry.
