Chapter 22
The inn was very deserted at this time, Gu Rou caught the shopkeeper's attention as soon as she entered.

Seeing a man with disheveled hair and almost invisible face come in, the shopkeeper couldn't help showing a look of disdain, and he didn't have much enthusiasm. If it wasn't because the other party's clothes were not so tattered, he would almost throw Gu Rou out as a beggar. .

"Stay in the shop or hit the tip?" the shopkeeper asked with a very bad attitude.

Gu Rou frowned, this dog looks down on people!
But at this time, I didn't care about these things, and asked, "Why didn't someone let me in when I came here yesterday?"

"Yesterday..." As soon as yesterday was mentioned, the shopkeeper naturally knew what it was, but he didn't dare to say the reason rashly. He just said, "Yesterday our inn was taken over."

Gu Rou asked strangely: "Did you wrap it? Why don't you wrap it now?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her, and said impatiently: "Of course I don't have a bag when I'm gone, everyone is going to the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper realized something, immediately silenced, and said impatiently: "Do you still want to stay in the store to be a top-notch, or leave quickly if you don't do business!"

Seeing the shopkeeper's even worse attitude, Gu Rou felt a little angry, but she suppressed it and said, "I want a room, but I don't have any cash on me. Where is there a pawn shop around here?"

"A pawn shop..." The shopkeeper looked a little bit weird, and glanced at her, "Go out and turn left on the street and the second one is right."

Gu Rou left the inn, went to the pawn shop to exchange some money, then went to the clothes shop to buy men's clothes and some makeup and grooming items. By the way, she inquired about the marriage team and confirmed that Su Zhan and the others really left early this morning. And no one knew about the fight in the inn last night, so Gu Rou became more and more strange.

They should have cleaned up the inn overnight so that no traces could be seen. It must be that Su Zhan didn't want people to know what happened last night, but the strange thing is that she, the concubine princess, is gone. He planned to head towards Bei Zhou, without her, how could Su Zhan go back to work for his father?
Things seemed to go much smoother than she expected, so that Gu Rou felt unreal. At first, she was afraid that Su Zhan would look for her, but now...doesn't she have to worry about hiding?
After returning to the inn room, Gu Rou asked someone to fetch a bucket of bath water and bring breakfast. After washing and eating, Gu Rou changed into new clothes, tied her hair into a man's hairstyle, and then took out the things for grooming, He began to ponder on his own face.

Although this body is the prime minister's illegitimate daughter that he doesn't want to admit, but I have to say, she looks extremely beautiful and charming, and there is almost no fault with her exquisite facial features, because she has been locked in the house all year round and cannot go out. She has less contact with the outside world, and her skin is fairer and more translucent than ordinary people. In addition, she has taken care of herself in the palace some time ago, and now she looks healthier than before. Just this face, even if she is a real princess, she will definitely not Someone is suspicious!

And Gu Rou just sketched and painted on her face a few times, and her appearance and temperament changed a lot. If someone who is not very familiar with her closely observes her, she will definitely not recognize her!

Looking at her masterpiece in the mirror with satisfaction, Gu Rou packed up all her things again and planned to leave the inn.

Although Su Zhan has led the team away and she seems to be safe now, she always feels that the whole thing is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. The emperor tried his best to get her, a fake princess, to marry. Another assassin assassinated her, and as of this morning, all the crises seemed to have been resolved, and it seemed unreal to think about it.

The calmer the surface, the more dangerous it is.

After leaving the inn, Gu Rou thought about it, then went to the town to find a place to buy horses and bought a carriage.

Since Gu Rou had never ridden this ancient horse, she had to hire another driver.

After telling the coachman where she was going, Gu Rou got into the carriage.
It's just that when she got into the carriage, Gu Rou didn't notice that the driver was wearing a big bamboo hat that covered most of his face, but his lips under the hat showed a strange arc that looked like a smile but not a smile.

The direction that Gu Rou reported to the coachman was exactly the route that went to Northern Zhou and the pro-marriage team.

Yes, that's right, she is going to catch up with the team now and follow them!
She didn't believe that Su Zhan would really ignore her, the disappearing princess, and just go back to Beizhou with an empty sedan chair to explain the mission. Not to mention anything else, even the grievances between them, with Su Zhan's temperament, he would never Let her go!
She just wants to follow up and see what the hell the other party is up to!
